After years of collecting data and trying all kinds of things to predict who will fall in love, who will break up and who will marry we have finally done it. We now have a fairly accurate model for predicting who an average user will end up with. Obviously it won’t work for everyone, but what predictive statistical model does?
This new model completely replaces our old chemistry test. We now give you a set of 30 matches that you are most likely going to end up dating. The list will mostly stay the same but it will change if a better match signs up or one of your matches deletes themselves from the site.

How did you accurately quantify categories like “easygoingness?” And why are we to believe that these few categories are enough to accurately predict something as complex as long-term relationship dynamics? Why are we not to believe that your method is a pseudo-scientific formula? From what I can tell, you’re using clever marketing. There is no way to prove that your formula is “accurate” without you tracking (for years) the ratio of failures to successes, and then releasing that data to the public. Since you currently have no incentive to do that, I have no incentive to believe your claim.
May 20, 2010 at 10:52 pm |
well markus puts a bunch of mice to a ‘easingoingnometer’, and tests them for easygoingness. the more easy going they are, the less they get shocked. make sense?
May 21, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Oh yeah…that makes perfect sense. Thanks!
July 9, 2010 at 7:21 am |
What is an easingoingomeeting. All of these types of predictions seem very koo koo
May 20, 2010 at 10:38 pm |
I had checked this new PlentyOfFish matching algorithm, it does not give you a compatibility percentage any more; and it is still based on a proprietary Big5 model to assess personality traits.
This new PlentyOfFish matching algorithm seems to be the same dog with another collar or the same book with another cover, or the same food with another taste.
What is exactly new, different or better in this new approach than what the old one offered?
Which is exactly the range of that new PlentyOfFish matching algorithm?
e.g: In a big database as the one at PlentyOfFish, it shows you 3 women per 10,000 women screened or 30 women per 100,000 women screened. (10 times better than the old algorithm)???
As Marital Stability does not include Marital Satisfaction, a marriage can be stable but miserable. Can you show this new PlentyOfFish matching algorithm can match prospective partners who will have more stable and satisfying relationships than couples matched by chance, astrological destiny, personal preferences, searching on one’s own, or other technique as the control group in a peer reviewed Scientific Paper?
Is Dr. James Houran the brain behind this new PlentyOfFish matching algorithm?
If you are so rich, why don’t you acquire the license of the 16PF5 normative personality test instead of still using a proprietary Big5 model to assess personality?
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 (five thousand) online dating sites, but no one is using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of their members, or a propietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5
Regards.

All personality tests are BS, including your 16pf5 as well as the big5.
We use a completely different approach.
May 21, 2010 at 1:16 am |
“We use a completely different approach”
Can you explain better that approach please?
Which is exactly the range of that new PlentyOfFish matching algorithm?
May 21, 2010 at 2:32 pm |
so, Markus, you are arguing that since all personality tests are BS, then the personality test that you use is not BS? that logic doesn’t add up. Or are you arguing that since other methods are BS, and your method is different than other methods, your method cannot also be BS? Because that logic doesn’t add up either.
If you make a claim, back it up. How is your “different approach” not BS? What does it do differently and how do such differences work as an improvement? Further, what physical data can you provide as evidence?
July 19, 2011 at 10:48 pm
and how long that marriage will last thats another question

It is an improvement but not an innovation. Mr. Frind only adjusted the output of the algorithm.
Before that adjustment the algorithm was an “out of control machine gun” firing flowers, and now it only shoots 30 “flowers” per dater without showing a compatibility percentage any more.
At PlentyOfFish there are 3 tests, and they are still the same as before.
1) PlentyOfFish Relationship Chemistry Predictor (POFCP) [measures five broad dimensions of personality that are each essential for building a romantic relationship]
It is a proprietary FLAWED Big5 model to assess personality.
It is FLAWED because that personality test should be:
- in English for the United States and the Norm for the United States (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of the United States).
- in English/French for Canada and the Norm for Canada (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of Canada)
- in English for the United Kingdom and the Norm for the United Kingdom (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of the United Kingdom).
- in English for Australia and the Norm for Australia (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of Australia).
and so on for each & every country where PlentyOfFish is available.
2) PlentyOfFish Relationship Needs Assessment
Compatibility at PlentyOfFish is all about personality “similarity”.
question #76 “I find that my past partners and I usually share the same mood.”
and
question #78 “My partner is the sort of person whom I myself would like to be.”
3) PlentyOfFish Integrity, Sincerity and Relationship Stability test.
Only users who can form and maintain long term relationships are given the privilege of upgrading.
You can see screenshots in my blog.

May 22, 2010 at 1:07 pm |
Well predictive models predict a outcome… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_modeling
Personality tests only predict what kind of personality you have. They do not predict who will enter into relationships, that requires you having actual couples to validate your test. something that takes years.
Right now as far as i know we are the only site that has a proven measurable test. I would assume eharmony has done the work as well they just don’t say it publically.
May 22, 2010 at 9:17 pm |
Markus,
First, I question the legitimacy of any argument that uses an article on Wikipedia as its primary source of evidence.
More importantly, can you explain how a “predictive model” can accurately predict the outcome of a relationship without understanding the personality of those involved? Logic indicates that a predictive model built for the sake of predicting the success of a relationship inputs data from a personality test into given variables.
Further, you have not proven that your “predictive model” is more accurate, you have only proven that is seeks a different goal than a personality test. You have failed to address and rebut the claims put forth by Sound Barrier and I.
May 31, 2010 at 1:47 am
Are you the dating police John C? You remind me of the most vocal pedants on Slashdot.
May 22, 2010 at 1:46 pm |
Markus if you need help localizing your site in different languages we have certified translators from around the world who can do that for you.. Often people use translators but not ones who are localized to particular dialects that are regional. Even the difference between French from France and Quebec are quite significant. With regards to your tests understanding the particular context of words in questions might have a significant impact on your models.
May 23, 2010 at 4:02 pm |
I have no great desire to post exactly what we did. Especially with everyone in the industry reading. What we say or do on this post makes absolutely no difference in terms of generating relationships on POF.
The success of this alogorithm is going to depend on the change in the number of relationships created as a result of Plentyoffish. We have a fantastic RMSE but what impact that has on the site remains to be seen.
Also we are trying to predict if you will enter into a relationship and what the chance of failure for that relationship is before marriage. We simply don’t have enough data to predict if the relationship will fail 20 years down the road.
At the end of the day we aren’t trying to solve the stable marriage problem (SMP) using something akin to a Gale-Shapley algorithm that eharmony and chemistry use.
May 23, 2010 at 9:09 pm |
Unfortunately, without releasing at least some evidence of your formula’s success, or some more in depth explanation for your prediction of its success, there is no reason for anyone to believe what you say.
August 10, 2010 at 5:10 am |

i just want back in to this site my name is jim i want a
toll free number so i can call them up please thank you
May 26, 2010 at 7:13 am |
Markus, I think the change on POF in only showing 30 matches that predicts who you will marry is limiting and a disappointing change in the site’s features. First of all marriage might not be the goal for many members…the compatibility percentage was a really good barometer to see matches on basic values then a member could view in excess of 30 photos page by page with the posted match percentage. Then by clicking on each photo enter the profile to read the things that can’t be quantified by some personality compatibility test…depending on how much the member wrote you could have insight into socio-economic background, religious affiliation, political leanings and dominant leisure interests. Please consider bringing back the feature that shows matches by percentage in that concise format you previously had posted!
May 27, 2010 at 4:56 am |
I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful 11:55

It would help alot if the SITE was up. Haven’t been able to connect since last Wednesday what’s up with that? Frustrating for someone who has people I would like to respond to on the site!
May 30, 2010 at 3:49 pm |
I really like the way plentyoffish finds compatibility. The issue with this is that half the people don’t put too much thought in creating profiles or filling out questionnaires so the accuracy of the results is questionable.
July 17, 2011 at 7:28 pm |

It appears that POF is also PLENTY OF SITE DOWN .. or PLENTY OF SERVER PROBLEMS. I DO understand it is a “free” site, but with all the people addicted to online game-playing, the stability of our great nation depends on POF being up !!! Thomas “Bubba” Edison, Pawtaleney, NJ
May 31, 2010 at 12:52 am |
POF is garbage over the years it has had so many server issues it’s rediculous. I bet you it had something to do with adding a dumb question of what are your intensions. The question is redundant anyway you already choose dating, ltr, friends etc.. now he adds a question of what are your intentions?lol dumb.
May 31, 2010 at 1:08 am |
When do you think the site will be back up?
May 31, 2010 at 1:35 am |

Yes, there is a guy I talked to and I think he might be important. Please fix the site in the name of love!!

it’s down AGAIN! Ugh it does this now like several times a month. Needs a better server.

Seems Marcus’s “Tweaking” of the site has been causing many of these annoying outages. Time to revisit some redundancy.

Hope the site is up again soon…there are more people who APPRECIATE the effort that goes into maintaining and providing this service than there are complainers and critics.
May 31, 2010 at 2:53 am |
Appreciate what? lol You think he made a dating site to help people find love out of the kindness of his heart? lollllllllllllllllllll
He made the site to make money obviously.
July 25, 2010 at 3:21 am
Well, it is a shame that he is not even trying to help people find love. Yet, he is doing it, through his software, hundreds of times a day. AND, to top it off he is turning a buck or two while doing it..
May 31, 2010 at 2:41 am |
It’s back up now
Thanks Markus
May 31, 2010 at 3:10 am |
As of 10:10 central time, its down again

For the love of all that is holy, please fix the F’ing site. It’s been down since 3:30 pm Pacific Time and came back up briefly. I know it’s a free site but this is ridiculous.

Sad to say but I meet and date more women through mmorpg’s than POF. To date, WoW = 3, POF = 0. These weren’t ugly geeky girls either, they were cute and sexy. In online gaming at least the ladies will chat with you and get to know you. At POF all I get is; message read/deleted. Pfff. Who needs it!
July 12, 2010 at 5:30 am |
I can’t imagine software being able to predict who a person will like, no more than any ol’joe. And trying to do it by way of data collection, online, where almost no one will be able to tell you the correct (read:honest) answer anyway. But, if no one ever tried I guess we’ll never know if it is truly possible.

Hey Markus,
I was hoping you would continue to post more on your blog. I’ve always enjoyed reading your words of wisdom. But I can see why you don’t because unfortunately your blog seems to attract the negative people who bash and criticize other peoples success. Hopefully someday you’ll start posting more again. Have a great Summer Markus : )
July 25, 2010 at 3:28 am |
Great work, Markus.!
July 25, 2010 at 10:46 pm |
Wow. I think POF is a POS. When I read what this dude Markus publishes, I’m IMPRESSED that he has the gall to try and pull this off. Let me re-phrase that. He DID it. And make a ton of money. Gotta give him that.
And to have the nerve to post he actually won a “prize” for his algorithm is pure genius of a true scam artist.
I won’t be on a site where integrity is not used. Nor misspelled.
July 31, 2010 at 5:38 am |
Okay so I clicked on a link about who I would most likely date and marry. Now for me… I do not want children. So tell me Markus.. how the hell do I match with women who definitely want to have kids?!
This matching system you have is bogus and anyone believes that you are doing someone a favor by implementing it is a fool. Your matching algorithms are a joke and you being 100% Free is another joke too. You are now charging people to be a featured member? I thought this is a 100% Free Dating Site.

Hi Markus,the site is down and thank you for the great idea and service that you provide. Some wankers still insist on charging the user instead of the advertisers.Chat is free,meeting people is free, it was at the beginning,until the vultures decide to make money on peoples emotions and needs,which by the way many have been charged with reaping people off.JOIN FOR FREE…er but $45 to reply to a message and if YOU JOIN our GOLD membership we can rip you off even better….but this time with more class,WE call you Sir/Madam.
Markus,you are doing a good thing and if you are making money,good for you,at least is clean money.

“> Plentyoffish can now predict who you will marry”
I wonder if they can predict when todays massive server crash will be repaired instead. I’m new there and it’s a nice site, but it looks like stability is not a strong point from what people are saying. Free Advice: next time use Apache or NGinX on Linux instead of those M$oft servers!

I think it would just be nice if a (the??) pof employee would write on the blog a reason for the interruption of service, with an estimated time for when the site will be up again. Yes it’s free, and yes, you get what you pay for, but this is a little ridiculous.
August 9, 2010 at 11:44 pm |

Do you believe there are employees? I bet you if someone is helping him, he is not paying the going rate. What kind of job do you think you get when you hire a carpenter for 10 dollars an hour?
August 10, 2010 at 4:01 am
No, I don’t think there are employees. But I think it would be nice if Markus could give us a clue as to what is going on. Rumours are that the site is done for good. This makes me sad.
August 9, 2010 at 9:08 pm |

this might give ppl reason to keep in touch through other means msn or meeting up in person cuz pof is down.
August 12, 2010 at 1:04 pm |
I think people like the privacy that a dating website offers. Sure some people may want to chat via skype, msn, google, and/or yahoo, but then one has to give up his/her email address and potentially lots of personal information. When you join a dating site you have a good comfort zone until you really get to know the person.
August 16, 2010 at 3:59 pm |
If you can tweak the algorithm to be fairly accurate then I think you will be on to a winner Marcus. I am getting quite a few negative comments about Dating Direct Affinity and some of the other ‘matchmaking profile’ type websites. The industry is crying out for a decent tool and if you can do it, and deliver it for free then the big boys such as Dating Direct need to hang their heads in shame.
Good work

October 7, 2010 at 1:05 am |
Gosh, Marcus –
I am still gratefully using PoF,
but have stopped looking at
the single page of My Matches
your new formulae provides.
For the most part they are
NOT my matches. No way.
You removed the single most
vital feature in Profiles: DELETE!
If YOU want to check your math
by calculating your Match choices
against my DELETE selections,
it can only assist your refinement
of that new algorithm.
You had DELETE (remove/block) before.
Clearly you could activate it again.
Just restore that link at the bottom
of each (Match) Profile -OR- even
BETTER – at bottom of EVERY Profile
to delete/block/remove/hide….
I have enough Tech to know this
would NOT be a strain on the dBase,
and I have enough faith that said data
would eventually help your accuracy.
Until then, i MUST skip My Useless Matches
and explore PoF counting on serendipity alone.
with respect & appreciation

I find that many people who are successful are those that can adapt to new paradigms the quickest, or they are the ones who realize there is a new on coming.

We now have a fairly accurate model for predicting who an average user will end up with. Obviously it won’t work for everyone, but what predictive statistical model does?

Shame on anyone who thinks POF is a different dating site. First off, the site now has a source of income. If one is to upgrade by taking the personality test (by the way this test is categorical) passing or not, you have to pay for membership. So how can some of their apps be claimed as free, yet, you need to pay for the upgrade so you can obtain these apps? The answer is simple, those apps are not free, its like buying two subs for the price of one. In reality you are only paying the price of 50% for the single sub’s full retail price (but you do need to buy two to make the deal). It’s not free, it will cost you money. If people are looking for “value”, why do you need to pay, it is like the “mybook” and the “facespace”, it is a network where you can contact people. If they don’t like you, they wont talk to you, simple. But we are getting off track. The point I will say to Markus is this, if your personality and psychology test is the new brand in the field, then why are you only exposing categorical evidence to your algorithm? You claim it’s empirical, yet, you use psychology and the viewer’s personal interest as your base of reason.
if one is to be observant and quantify the observation then you are being empirical, but the irony is this. Your have to categorize your data. That being said, you have to make decisions, thus the outcome is arbitrated through the intent of this character we call Markus. He the “creator”, the point is, if you are to write any equation, you need to know the dynamics, thus stating a formula. Like in 8th grade and learning Pythagorean’s Theorem, A squared+B squared=C squared, yet, when we are exposed to the concept of personality, the variables change: meaning that the exampled Theorem is irrational. A, B and C can change, thus establishing inconstancy. My point is this, POF is an interesting site, you can view and talk to people you are interest in for a relationship. However, the fact that this site uses categorical evidence it will never maintain the full truth about relationships. First off, it is an algorithm, meaning it provides industrial and economic value if your not just into writing programs. Secondly the use of psychology reinforces us that their intent is still categorical. I mean when they say the easygoing trait you should know these are words more associate with the categorical imperative then personality. Say I don’t like mean people, therefore i should not hang out with mean people. That is great and all but the problem is, people can lie, thus, the outcome in the variables become bias. Meaning that nice 20 year old girl could be a 50 year old alligator.
Just like a previous post about wanting no kids, how come i still get matches that want kids. There is a programing error, and not just a programing error, but you are also using psychology as means of action; psychology is BS it uses social standards. meaning that marring a 12 year old here (in the US) would make me diseased but in another country it is OK. thus again establishing the folly in their reason. It is opinionated, if I am in favor to what you negate, I therefor have a problem because you control what is good and bad.

If you are so rich, why don’t you acquire the license of the 16PF5 normative personality test instead of still using a proprietary Big5 model to assess personality?

“Obviously it won’t work for everyone, but what predictive statistical model does?”
That is a very true statement. In any regard, I think that just to have a better chance using this option before, than you did not using it, is something worth trying right? I have noticed, that reading over profiles of those who say’s I’m more likely to marry, I do see a trend of positive correlation of our hobbies, dislikes, etc.

Which brings me to my First Tip when it comes to Teaching
An Older Child the Alphabet and English Words: Do
not assume that an older adopted child is the same as an ESL
(English as a Second Language) Child. With this
new method, it’s not much different than sitting across the table from a private tutor. Finally, parents teaching the language at home should take advantage of the easy access to English materials available around the world.
