Find your second half


Each weekend I would like to share with you about a new app or website. This series can be found in the weekly label

This week I would like to present about the new online dating startup Soul2Match.

Whenever I watch the movie Surya son of Krishna I remember the scene Surya (Hero) meets Sameera Reddy (Heroine) for the first time in the train….and Surya holds his heart....saying/feeling love at first sight. Is there anything like soul mate or love at first sight?

Yes! Says a new online dating tool, based on comprehensive scientific research in the areas of psychology and biometrics. It says “Both the phenomenon «soul mates» and «love at first sight» date back to ancient Greek, with Aristophanes mentioning the concepts in Plato's Symposium. Recent scientific research confirms the existence of both. People are attracted to people who resemble their close genetic counterparts, which can be measured in features in the face. The more you match, the happier couples are in long-term relationships. This is what Soul2Match is based on."

The Online dating startup promises to match singles based solely on one piece of information from each of them: their head shot. Then it analyses over 1000 points on their faces giving a compatibility score for their relationship.
Yes, founders Jorn Eiting and Linda van Liempt are serious. They cite several studies that show what we’re all really looking for in our ideal mate is ourselves. “The more two people have similarities in their faces, the more they look alike, the happier they are in the relationship, the stronger the relationship,” says Eiting

They also quote that "The Soul2Match tool is used by Universities to do research on both attractiveness and on how relationships start. Not only has Soul2Match been built on science, but it also contributes to the furthering of science."
Soul2Match will work well for those who want to leave their time-consuming online dating questionnaires behind forever. But it seems the site’s main draw will be entertainment value. So, start making fun with this tool and see if you can catch your soul mate (your second half).
