????最后一步是一個15分鐘的心理問卷調(diào)查，用于確定情感能力。問題會通過人們的行為來評估一個人的社會性格，比如開朗或內(nèi)斂、喜歡支配還是服從、可以接受的親密程度等?！白鳛橐幻殬I(yè)紅娘，我不知道在他們來見我之前有過多少次見光死的約會?！备ヌm斯表示，“我們的方法可以讓你在見面之前就知道兩人是否來電?！?/p>

????或許吧。不過SINGLDOUT也承認(rèn)不能保證約會成功，他們做的更像是為一段關(guān)系事先做好鋪墊。

????該網(wǎng)站三個月的會費(fèi)為149美元，六個月則是199美元。而根據(jù)巴亞德和弗蘭斯的設(shè)想，SINGLDOUT不止是個交友網(wǎng)站。20億美元規(guī)模的在線交友市場競爭日趨激烈，巴亞德和弗蘭斯認(rèn)為，DNA配對蘊(yùn)藏著更廣泛的商機(jī)。他們表示，公司可以利用基因圖譜做任何事情，包括從構(gòu)建團(tuán)隊(duì)到安排辦公室座位。

????但是，現(xiàn)在的首要任務(wù)是增加人手。包括巴亞德和弗蘭斯在內(nèi)，SINGLDOUT現(xiàn)在只有五名員工。本周二，這家八個月前成立的新公司宣布獲得50萬美元的種子基金。（該公司表示，基于保密協(xié)議他們不方便透露投資者姓名。）一旦掌握了更清晰的會員增長情況，SINGLDOUT計(jì)劃在2015年1月招聘新員工。

????據(jù)巴亞德和弗蘭斯介紹，二人年齡都在35到40歲之間。去年冬天，兩人結(jié)識于圣地亞哥（San Diego）的一家咖啡店。弗蘭斯是一名服務(wù)周到的紅娘，當(dāng)時(shí)正在為客戶尋覓合適人選。她覺得巴亞德和自己的某位顧客很般配，但是巴亞德卻對在線交友深感厭倦，拒絕了弗蘭斯的好意。不過，兩人隨后談起了網(wǎng)絡(luò)交友的陷阱問題?！拔覀儼l(fā)現(xiàn)有些人同時(shí)使用幾個不同的交友網(wǎng)站，雖然網(wǎng)站提供了交友平臺，卻并沒有真正地解決任何問題，”弗蘭斯說。于是他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個商機(jī)：在會員決定是否約會前，先通過科技手段來提高配對概率。于是，SINGLDOUT應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。不過，他們還要對SINGLDOUT進(jìn)行測試，看它是否有足夠的長期發(fā)展?jié)摿Α?/p>

????“在這一點(diǎn)上，我們倆倒是天作之合?！备ヌm斯說。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????The final component is a 15-minute psychological questionnaire that looks to determine emotional capability. The questions assess human behavior based on social characteristics, such as outgoing or autonomous, dominant or submissive, and comfort level with intimacy. “As a professional matchmaker, I don’t know how many times people tried online dating before they came to me, only to find they didn’t have chemistry with that person,” says France. “This will tell you if you have chemistry offline.”

????Maybe. As SINGLDOUT admits, this is not a guarantee of dating success, but more like a head start into a relationship.

????Subscriptions cost $149 for three months and $199 for six months of the dating service, but both Bayad and France envision SINGLDOUT as more than a relationship aid. In the increasingly-crowded $2 billion online dating market, Bayad and France see an opening to apply their compatibility algorithm to businesses. They talk about companies using genetic profiling for everything from putting together work teams to creating the office seating chart.

????First though, they need to hire a few more people. SINGLDOUT currently has five employees, including Jayad and France. On Tuesday, the eight-month-old start up announced that it had successfully secured $500,000 in seed funding. (It said it couldn’t name the investors due to a confidentiality agreement.) SINGLDOUT plans to hire more employees in January 2015 once it gets a better sense of its member growth.

????France and Jayad, who gave their ages as “35 to 40,” met last winter at a coffeehouse in San Diego. France, a professional white-glove matchmaker, was shopping for her clients and thought Jayad might be a good fit for one of them. Jayad, who had tried and grew tried of online dating, took her up on the meeting. However, they quickly fell into a conversation about the pitfalls of online dating. “We found that people belong to all of these different sites, and, while it opens up the pool for them, it wasn’t really solving anything,” says France. They saw an opportunity to incorporate science to increase the odds for couples before they even decided to go on a date and SINGLDOUT was born. However, they have yet to take SINGLDOUT’s tests to see if they really are strong prospects for a successful long-term business partnership.

????“We just have great chemistry,” says France.
