What I find most interesting about matchmaking sites is that they usually offer something that we'll call a love match test. The tests offered on such sites vary pretty widely from fairly simple profiles allowing the system to match people that, say, like comedy films but don't like pets. Some sites get a lot more in-depth and go so far as to provide complete personality tests to try to find other people with complimentary or compatible personalities. The simpler tests only really seem good at screening out serious, deal-breaking biographical facts. For instance, getting together with a veterinarian or someone else who specifies that you must love dogs when you're deathly allergic to animals might not be the best idea. In cases like this, the no-pets issue will save you a lot of time. Now, saving time is great, but I find the more complicated love match tests more attractive because they are geared towards opening up your options.
