Review: You are better off just using match.com. I have serious reservations as to the accuracy of this personality test. Just because the company claims the personality test is effective does not actually make it so. You have to look at the source which is biased. Don`t waste your money with this site. Also keep in mind that members who haven`t paid for the service may not be able to contact you (this is true with match.com which is affiliated with chemistry.com).

Review: I sense a lot of frustration, but Chemistry.com does indeed work to some extent. I agree that the limited 5 matches a day can be annoying if none are attractive to you, and also that many matches sent my way never get past stage 1, presumably because they aren't even actively using the site. However, the men who are perusing the site and who engage in the communication process have shared their real-life email addresses and have communicated, so I know that there are active members also seeking "the one" out there. Give it time and realize that if someone doesn't dump your stage 1 response in a week, they're likely not on the site any longer!

Review: CHEMISTRY.COM IS A SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!
I SIGNED UP FOR THE 3MONTH SPECIAL $99.
I THEN STARTED THEIR LONG AND STUPID PROCESS OF ACCEPTING MATCHES.
AFTER MORE THEN 2 WEEKS AND 38 MATCHES ACCEPTED AND NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE YES/NO FROM THOSE MATCHES I CALLED UP CHEMISTRY.COM AND ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK. I JUST KNEW IT WAS A SCAM. AT FIRST THEY ARGUED WITH ME AND SAID IT WAS NOT TRUE AND THAT I HAD TO BE PATIENT BUT IN THE END THE BEST THEY WOULD DO IS TO CHANGE ME TO A 1 MONTH MEMBERSHIT(!) AT $50. THEY DID REFUND THE DIFFERENCE, BUT THEY STILL STOLE $50 FROM ME. ANYWAY I CONTINUED WITH THE ONE MONTH AND MAGICALLY I STARTED TO RECEIVE SOME INTEREST FROM SOME OF THE MATCHES. BUT HERE IS WHERE THE SCAM GETS EVEN BETTER. ALL THOSE MATCHES THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY INTERESTED NONE OF THEM TRADED EMAILS WITH ME. THEY GOT UP TO THE POINT OF THE EMAILS AND THEN NOTHING MORE. EVEN AFTER REPEATED EMAILS FROM ME JUST TO SEE IF THEY WERE ALIVE AND REAL, BUT NEVER A RESPONSE.
CHEMISTRY.COM IS A SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!

Review: I wanted to try out Chemistry.com to see if the site lived up to the advertising hype. Unfortunately, it didn't. Here's why:
- You are limited to viewing 5 matches a day, so if you find the ones presented to you to not be appropriate you have to wait to receive more matches.
- I was surprise to find men with each of the different personality types all described to me as a "Great Match". It does not seem that the Chemistry Profile holds the necessary weight in selecting matches. Especially, as the men I found the most interesting WERE the ones, according to my chemistry profile description, which were considered the best match.
I had payed a premium to join Chemistry.com believing that their matching criteria would be more accurate. I was sorely disappointed to find it was not.

Review: Chemistry.com misrepresents the matches that they are sending to current paying members. I know that Chemistry is not, sending me members who may not have a paid, current membership at Chemistry at the time they're are sent to me?
Some matches of course are current but as the person with the current membership I have no way of knowing if any particular match is current and using Chemistry or stop using it and no longer visits the site.
This is an unethical business practice and should not be allowed to happen.

Review: Chemistry.com is a scam. They claim to find matches using a "scientific" process based on the personality survey. What they really do is match Chemistry .com customers to existing members in their Match.com database -- people who have not signed up for Chemistry.com and have not even taken the survey.
