Chemistry..... on POF
Posted: 6/18/2009 7:55:27 PM
So... I filled out the Chemistry test on POF...found the questions interesting....thought...hey... if I am really going to get serious about meeting some Fish here I should use the tools ....right?

anyhoot.... noticed today a window pops up with male Fish with percentage % signs above their name/pic...and it is the percentage of how compatiable I am with them...real kewl!

I checked out a lot of the 96% and higher.....an I found they were good matches in a lot of ways.......THEN.......................... I found one guy....he looked familiar....91% match...check him out.... OMG.........guy I met....real racist... I mean we are talking pointy hat club and no qualms about saying what various visible groups can go and what cruel and inhumane punishment he would like to inflict upon them.

how is it that we are 91% compatiable?.....I mean... I understand...our values, etc are similiar...very similiar..but how could this other side of him be so out there and revolting to me?

Have you tried out the Chemistry Test?... I rather like it... I think it is very telling.... and besides this one dude .... I think it is a helpful tool. A place to start at least.

I've looked at the test but I'm not very good at studying so didn't take the test.

Kidding aside, I've read some posts in the global help forums on the test that deterred me from giving it serious consideration.

The Chemistry 'test' here is pretty much as accurate as my daily horoscope. I filled it in for fun but it came up as generic as humanly possible. And what a coincidence... it's the same for just about everyone.

We're all confident, family oriented and slightly dodgy on self-control. (Aren't we??)

Next you'll be saying there's no Santa Claus, right?

I agree though, it's another great gadget wasted.

I think I did take it once before, I am not too sure which profile it was with though.
The different tests are always interesting to take, but I never put a whole lot of faith in them.

Well Rose, every one who intends to get serious about a fish here or elsewhere should really use their tools...
now you know if you haven't used them tools in a while, clean off the cobwebs, get a tune-up and don't forget the oil and lube...
and top up the antifreeze
if there is to be Chemistry you want it all running smooth


'bout that test...lol
don't even look at it anymore
only had one response to a 100% match, we met and all was nice ....but there was none of that chemistry...
the rest, about 4 or 5 90+% matches never replied...unread delete...go figure

about your experience? the 9% of azzhole you met outweighed the 91% compatibility which you don't even want to know

I don't know if the test specifically addressed membership in the KKK or hitler's youth..

One thing that most really forget to remember when it comes to singles sites.....
A massive percentage of members are either loonie toons or serial daters....
I would'nt recomend taking any ''test'' or anything else thats geared towards match making.....we all know it's about attraction, sincerity, integrity, honesty etc....
Just a few of the traits unknown to dating sites...............

chemistry, yes...half the battle for sure

But if your interested in looking at matching percentages there is another free site that does a much, much more extensive job. No its not perfect, so many individuals, but you get a sense that your values are at least represented in the numbers...including, orientation, religion etc. Also, lots of fun tests on there.... probably not allowed to post that OKC site, but you can mail me if you want more. Hey wait! where are you going ?.......
Mostly Americans on that site, but many Vancouverites as well

So far the only chemistry I have managed to find is the curiosity as to the effects of drinking liquid drano....

The issue with personality tests is people don't answer them accurately. Perhaps worse is that people don't know they are answering them inaccurately.

Many times people want to be something they are not. When answering a personality test people are confronted with choices and generally choose the answer they want to be, not the answer that suits who they really are. This actually extends to peoples profiles where they write what they think they are, not who they actually are.

This makes this, and other dating sites a bit of a dice game. However, it isn't any better in the real world so, take it as it comes.

....tests is people don't answer them accurately...


are those the attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or suppositions to others

even if your statement would reflect a general behavior, still it is extremely judgmental!

IMHO The Chemistry thingy feature is another wonderful thought and its implementation here or elsewhere a waste of time and resources based on my experiences...perhaps the merit of it is just entertainment value??????????

Aren't the preventions instructions on the bottle clear?

Rinse plumbing after every use
For minor clogs and accumulation of sticky substances use plunger
all else call plumber
if he charges you for coming, smile and serve him a c o c k t a i l with liquid drano
sit back and watch

Okay...Okay...guilty...I've been checking this Chemistry thing everytime I log onto POF now...and I noticed something a few days ago..... the top 3 matches for me...ranging from 94% to 97% all had a profile pic of the guy hugging his dog .

like....how strange and coincidental is that eh?.. I mean... I would totally be drawn to a man with a lovely mutt. I just happen to be thinking about getting a new dog too.... my boy Mags is now in Doggy Heaven playing fetch all day...he passed away 2 years ago...and... ...well... I am thinking a new boyfriend and his dog would be a nice addition.

I never filled it out, but clicked on the "chemistry" tab out of curiosity, well after a few days of clicking on it, i found one match at 100%
Unfortunately the poor lady had a recent accident while carrying a tackle box full of lures and a gallon of blue paint down a long flight of stairs, she had fallen and the paint got all in her hair, and she fell face first into the box of lures.......not sure how no chemistry filled out = accident victim.

^ahhhh just shows you how much is missing from the test!! You see they didn't ask questions like: "Are you a .... or a ......?" And others like that It's possible if the questions were phrased a little differently, he would be your worst match

:) Just think how a big, beautiful Labrador Retriever would have answered the chemistry questions. I bet the match % would be really high lol xo
