Chemistry in Detail

  • Reading time 16 minutes
  • Lots of insider information for more success

How to Sign Up for Chemistry

chemistry signup
  • Registration is free
  • Requires email and phone number vierification
  • Only email address and zip code as personal information
  • Relatively lengthy personality test with over 20 questions
  • Unverified members need to answer verification questions each time they log in
  • The site only requires minimal personal information. At the registration process, you only need to give out your birthday, zip code and email address. You don't even need to give out your full name, as other users can distinguish you by your username.
  • Users have to answer a lengthy personality test, which is the bread and butter of the entire website. This is what determines your personality type, as well as influences which users will be matched to you. Several users on the site don't have an entry under their personality type, so it may be possible to skip the assessment.

Image Visibility

  • Unlike other dating websites, you can see other users' pictures even as a free user.
  • It seems like the site puts a lot of emphasis on its user's pictures. Not only does the site allow you to upload a total of 30 pictures, but they also have strict guidelines in their T&C about what picture you use for your profile. To make sure your photos are accepted by the Chemistry.com team, you need to follow these guidelines:
      • Solo photos are always better. If there's another person with you in the photo, you need to point out which one is you.
      • No nudity or see-through clothes
      • No copyrighted images
      • Photos must not divulge personal information, such as car licenses, street signs, business names and scans of the company/school ID. Basically, anything that can jeopardize the user's anonymity.
      • No photos of users engaging in illegal acts like drug use, violence, and obscenity.
      • No posts with offensive hand gestures, or anything that can be deemed offensive to one's religion, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, etc.

Information in the profile

  • With Chemistry.com, what you see is what you get. There's a single profile visibility setting for both free and upgraded users. This means that even as a free user, you have access to the full profiles of all users, even premium ones.
  • the ability to add even more hobbies when you edit your profile under the Top Interests portion.

Users can upload a total of 30 photos; however, not all photos are good enough as your profile photo. You can upload any photo to your album as you wish; however, if you change your profile photo, your request will be put on hold while the team checks your photo for any T&C violations (see above). If you have a Facebook account, you can import photos from your Facebook to the website.

Overall, account creation at Chemistry.com gets a 4 out of 5. It is fairly easy and non-invasive, which is good news for people who don't want to give out personal details when creating an account. Although you can't really control what people see and what they don't when it comes to your profile, it doesn't contain any compromising information in the first place. This is because your profile is more about who you are as a person - your hopes, your interests and what you look for in a person.

Although the site is lax in terms of personal information requirements, the personality test is another story. It takes around 5-10 minutes to get through the personality assessment test, depending on how serious you are in answering the question. Most questions on the assessment contain statements, where users choose whether they agree or disagree with the statement. Occasionally, a question with a different format will pop up, but these are rare. Example of information that users need to fill up in their profile includes their political view, their religion, how many children they have, as well as their ethnicity.

The website displays 5 featured matches for free users, which refreshes every day.

-height
-ethnicity

Although the site only offers text chat (no video), this still means unlimited messages, both sent and received. If you feel like you have chemistry with somebody, you can add them to your favorite list. On the other hand, if another user is making you feel uncomfortable, you can block them to prevent them from messaging you.

Facts

Who owns chemistry.com

Chemistry.com is owned and operated by niche dating service provider PeopleMedia. The website is one of several offerings launched by Match.com, a premiere online dating site. Chemisty.com is also a member of the MarriageMinded Community, which is composed of dating sites that are geared towards individuals who are searching for a lifetime partner.

Does Chemistry work?

Biggest proof of Chemistry.com's legitimacy lies in its parent website, Match.com. Match.com is one of the major players in the online dating industry, and chemistry employs the same successful techniques, which is probably why the site is still going strong even after over a decade in the industry. Although the site doesn't have any definitive numbers regarding their success rates, the MarriageMinded Community as a whole have been successful at bringing marriage minded people together.

How do I contact chemistry.com?

The website has a contact form, which can be found through their Help page. It may take around 24-48 hours for chemistry.com to reply via email. They can also be reached through their PO Box at People Media, P.O. Box 12627, Dallas, TX 75225, or through the phone number at tel:2145763272.

Which is better Chemistry.com or Match?

People like to compare the two sites as they are similar to each other at first glance, although Chemistry.com is more of a niche Christian dating site, while Match.com is a general online dating site. It's difficult to compare the two because Chemistry.com's target market is limited to the US and caters to people looking for serious relationships or marriage. On the other hand, Match.com's target market is larger, with several international websites across the globe. It also caters to more tastes, from casual dating and flings to long-term relationships and marriage.

Are Match.com and Chemistry.com the same?

Chemistry.com is one of the many niche dating sites that branched off from Match.com, so the latter is more like a parent site to Chemistry.com. Many people believe that these two sites are the same because their websites share the same layout, basic features and even Terms and Conditions.

What is the average age of users on Chemistry?

The average age of Chemistry users is between 32-39 years. You can find more information here

Usability

How does chemistry.com work?

The site works around the mindset that to make relationships last, the chemistry between two people is necessary. The site hopes to foster this chemistry even in an online dating setting by matching people with compatible personality types, interests and preferences. The personality assessment that users take at the beginning is used to determine a user's personality type. The site believes that there's no bad combination of two personality types; rather, all types affect each other in a unique way.

Who can see my profile?

All users on the website, regardless of whether they are free or paid users, can see your profile. If you want to hide your profile, you can do so through the settings under Account Status Settings. Keep in mind, this feature is for people who want to stop using the site temporarily. By hiding your profile, you also lose the ability to use the website's other features. Users can unhide their profiles when they come back in the same manner.

Is there a guide on how to stop Chemistry.com emails?

The website sends notifications to their users whenever they edit important parts of their profile, receive messages, get profile favorites and a lot more. However, if your profile is pretty popular, this means getting several notifications throughout the day that can spam your inbox. You can opt-out directly from your email provider by searching for the words “unsubscribe Chemistry.com" at the bottom of the email and clicking on the link. If that doesn't work, you can go to your account settings and uncheck the boxes for events you don't want to receive notifications for.

How to cancel Chemistry.com temporarily?

Maybe you found someone and you want to try dating that person exclusively. Because you won't be using your Chemistry account while this is happening, you may want to unsubscribe and make your profile private in the meantime. You can unsubscribe manually through your account settings. The best way on how to quit Chemistry temporarily is to hide your profile. This way, the site won't send you daily matches and your profile won't be visible on searches. If it doesn't work out, you can always come back to the site, unhide your profile, and re-subscribe.
