We are extremely thoughtful and thorough about how we match individuals to DateSpot Premium members. We believe that it’s a combination of analytics, tech and intuition that makes the best matches. We collect a lot of data about members (without tiring them out) to efficiently and effectively identify compatibility.

Here are some examples of what we take into account:

• Meeting basic criteria

  First we need to meet basic stated and non-stated parameters like age and location for both people.
• Education and professional alignment

  People often end up with someone of a similar educational background, and white collar professions tend to pair in alignment too.
• Drinking habits

  We don’t just look at general labels like drinking “socially”, as that spans a huge range; we break it down into five dimensions.
• Drug habits

  Frequency of drug use and what you’re open to in a partner, broken down even by type of drug as that can matter to people.
• Smoking habits

  Cigarette use is often a dealbreaker, so knowing if and how often someone smokes is crucial.
• Fitness level

  How frequency someone works out is important in determining whether lifestyles and values align.
• Pets

  Pets are a part of one's family, so if someone doesn't like a dog or cat that could be a major issue.
• Eating habits

  We know whether someone eats pretty much everything, is health-conscious, or a vegetarian.
• Personality fit

  People are often attracted to someone with a different energy level - someone more talkative/energetic with someone less so.
• Values

  We pay attention to what people prioritize in their life - independence, time with family, career ambition, honesty, etc.
• Interests

  There should be overlap in what you like to do. We can filter for important hobbies to you and find types of people based on interests.
• Religious views

  What does someone identify with spiritually, how much do they practice, and how important is alignment in a partner?
• Political affiliation

  What does someone identify with politically, and how important is alignment in a partner?
• Love languages

  Taken from the famous 5 Love Languages. Super helpful in knowing whether personalized preferences in needs can be met easily.
