How AI is Changing Your Perception of Online Dating

How AI is Changing Your Perception of Online Dating

written by Shreeradha Mishra

Online dating has existed since the era of the ancient Yahoo chat rooms, or probably even before that. Over the years, technology has come a very long way in revolutionizing online dating. From not knowing whether you are speaking to a man or woman, or for that matter very little about the individual, the online dating apps today provide greater authenticity to the overall experience of dating in the virtual space.

But, do they? Haven’t we all heard the horror stories of being cheated in several ways through what are considered as some of the best online dating apps, even today? In a lot of ways, most of these dating apps are a sophisticated makeover of the cruder versions we had all those years ago.

However, there is an incredible piece of good news for everyone sick of swiping left and right but never really finding the “right” match. The experience of online dating is here to change forever with Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered technology. Unbelievable? Well, here are five ways AI powered dating platforms are going to change how you have perceived online dating until now!

    1. Personalized matches

      We mean truly personalized matches. Not the kind that is promised to you but you end up having to speak to flaky people who are different from you in every possible – and not the good kind of different. Usually, there is an excess of unfit choices, and you feel like you are really wasting your time. This issue arises from a lapse of technology to really identify the perfect matches for you. However, Betterhalf AI engine uses probabilistic iterative learning, through which it zeroes down to a number of potential matches for you. Thereby giving you ‘true’ choices, to aid you in your partner search.

    2. A match of “intent”

      ‘Ghosting’ is a popular term used to describe one’s experience in the online dating realm. This means that when one of the two people is not serious or has no intent of taking real steps towards making a real relationship, they disappear. Or ghost. This is one of the biggest reasons why people are jaded with using online dating apps. However, the difference with AI powered dating platforms is that the technology also goes that extra step to really match people according to the ‘intent’ they have of how they want their relationship to progress. With this filter, the chances of a match ghosting is truly minimized.

    3. No more fake profiles

      It is common knowledge that creating a fake profile on an online dating app is child’s play. There are enough and more number of fake profiles in the virtual dating world. This ultimately makes the dating space less authentic, safe, and at times can be really traumatic for people who are at the receiving end of such incidents. AI powered dating platforms counter this problem in a very effective manner. The technology makes use of multi-step verification processes that comb the social media profiles of the user to match the information provided, besides asking for official identification proof, and methods like photo matching. What does this mean? Simply put, you get what you see.

    4. Access to immediate basic information

      To curate the best possible dating experience, AI understands that the user needs to have as much information as possible, to consider a potential match. Instead of the user having to initiate a conversation with the potential match to learn about this basic information, AI does that. With its deep learning capabilities, AI brings out all the relevant information (in as much detail as possible) a user may have to consider before deciding to start speaking to the match in question. Awkward encounters no more.

    5. The Best of Both Worlds for the User

      AI powered dating platforms have managed to achieve what few other dating apps have, the perfect balance between technology and serendipity. AI makes the user’s online dating experience seamless, safe, and honest while letting the user focus on the real and human aspects of the relationship they are looking for. The user enjoys the best of both worlds, of having the opportunity to connect with like-minded potential partners through technology, and the promise of a truly compatible match that comes along with it.

While a few apps like Belong, Bernie, and a few others are making a positive difference to the virtual dating space with the use of AI powered technology, these platforms are yet to debut in India. The good news is, we don’t have to wait for these platforms to launch in India because we have our homegrown AI powered match-making platform – Betterhalf.ai. Committed to help professionals find a match through real compatibility scores, BetterHalf goes that extra mile to help you find your significant other. Have you signed up yet?

In Quest of Compatibility: The Aspects that Truly Matter

In Quest of Compatibility: The Aspects that Truly Matter

written by Shreeradha Mishra

You want to go out and party on a Friday night, but he’d rather stay in and watch a movie.
You like speaking about what bothers you, but she likes to keep it to herself.
You believe in being a vegan, he loves a good steak.
So how do these differences affect your compatibility with each other?

How successful a relationship is, is directly proportional to how compatible the two people in the relationship are, with each other. And of course, this is no secret. While we all seek compatibility with our partners, how do we really understand what true compatibility is? It’s easy. To be able to measure compatibility, psychologists have broken it down into six specific areas. These areas capture the all-round personality traits of any individual. So, if you are wondering how to gauge if you an your Significant Other are compatible, here are the six aspects you should consider.

  1. Emotional Temperament

    This dimension of an individual’s personality is reflective of how they perceive themselves, their emotional status and energy, and how passionate they are when it comes to nurturing romantic relationships. For example, if you can characterize someone as a happy person, who is self-confident and sensitive, that would be their emotional temperament you are referring to.

  2. Social Style

    While emotional temperament has got to do more with an individual’s intimate personality traits, social style dictates how the person behaves outside of his/ her comfort zone. Traits such as character, kindness, dominance, sociability and adaptability define an individual’s social style. Appreciate it when he is kind to a waiter who accidentally spilled a bit of water? Well, that’s his social style.

  3. Cognitive Mode

    This is one of the most difficult dimensions to find compatibility in. A lot of times we hear people say, “it didn’t work out because we had very little in common – there was not much that we could really speak about or do together.” The cognitive mode of an individual captures their intellect, curiosity, humor and artistic passion. Compatibility in this particular aspect, can be truly fulfilling because you and your partner will never run out of things to speak about, and do together.

  4. Physicality

    Physicality includes not just the degree of sexual intimacy an individual enjoys, but also a wide range of other physical factors which contribute to overall compatibility. For example, how physically active or passive one is – do you or your partner enjoy recreational activities which involve physical effort, such as trekking? Are you someone who likes to stay physically fit and active by eating healthy food and exercising regularly? Does the idea of being on the move excite you or stress you out? All these factors contribute to the physicality of an individual.

  5. Relationship skills

    How do you resolve a fight? By talking it out, or by shouting it out? How moody are you? If something unrelated to your partner is affecting you, do you manage it on your own or do you let it spill on your partner? Do you let a conflict escalate by being passive aggressive, or do you clear the air as soon as there seems to be a misunderstanding? All of this speaks about the relationship skills of an individual.

  6. Values and beliefs

    How religious or spiritual a person is, what his ambition in life is, what his personal values and family goals are, all of these fall under the values and beliefs aspect of compatibility. While seeking a partner, some of these aspects could be a prerequisite for many people. For example, one might only want to be with someone who shares their religion, or with someone with whom their value system matches.
