Company Information / Message from the CEO

What is the meaning of life? Really, what does it all boil down to?

Here at eChemistry our purpose is clear. We study romantic chemistry and make it more available to everyone. We are primarily a research institution, a SWAT team of love scientists using controlled studies to figure out the laws of nature governing romantic attraction.

We study real love. We gathered old married couples who were absolutely convinced that the person they had dedicated their life to decades earlier was their soulmate. These couples still got all excited talking about their love, overflowing with positivity like new high school crushes. They almost all paused during the interviews to say things like, "I'm sorry, are we being too mushy? We can tone it down." Then their eyes would get really big and they'd say things like, "I was never the giddy romantic type, but in a very short time after I met him I knew we were meant to be. He really is my other half." Couples who have really found their match overflow with love and affection for everyone around them. There really is a noticeable synergistic effect; the pair produces far more love for the rest of the world than the sum of the two singles.

Scientific Inquiry

I honestly don't know why there isn't more scientific research into romantic chemistry. We can land a man on the moon, fly ordinary people across the globe every day, use microwaves to heat food almost instantly, and yet when the topic of true love comes up people insist that it must be an eternal mystery and that it can't be solved. I bought into this a little bit too in the beginning. When the company started, the goal was only to find romantic trends -- not actual, concrete, irrefutable proof of traits which cause romantic chemistry. But we looked for those trends with a very solid, hard-science approach. We didn't let things get sloppy just because it was difficult, and that meticulous attention to detail paid off far better than we ever could've imagined. Our results are incredible. The results of our studies were not the 80% correlations which are produced in typical psychological studies. They were specific, solid, absolutely repeatable results which were consistent in every case. The patterns we've found are undeniable, they exist and are an incredible breakthrough in attraction science.

Purpose Driven Research

So, why not cash in? Virtually every other company on the planet is in business for the primary goal of making a profit. From the beginning we haven't been in this for the money. At eChemistry, our core motivation is understanding the science of romantic attraction. Even if it weren't financially valuable, we would investigate it. Even if we had to fund our own work, we would dedicate our lives to figuring it out. The fact that it is valuable, that it really will make a difference, is all just icing on the cake for us.

This website exists to prove that our research was right. We've spent so much time examining and reexamining our findings that we already know what we're bringing to the table. But since we're scientists we like to back up our predictions with cold, hard, undeniable proof. As a result of our motivations, we charge four times less than eHarmony and three times less than Match.com. It makes no difference to us whether or not this makes money. We really just want to see our system successfully predicting romantic chemistry. We come into work energized and excited every day knowing that all our years of hard work are finally making a difference.

The Future

There are still fine details to be worked on. Think of the scientists who broke atoms into parts, then broke those parts into smaller parts, and then those smaller parts into even tinier parts. That's where we are with romantic chemistry. We've got the basic structure of attraction decoded, but we're zealous scientists who will always want one more level of clarity before we'll be happy. Luckily, we can get the data we need to get an even stronger hold on romantic chemistry with your help. Your feedback about your experiences and chemistry levels with matches you've met through this site, shared through our thorough date reporting system, will directly contribute to the advancement of this field of study. This is your opportunity to participate in something really meaningful, something which will really make a difference in the world. That's what brings us into the office every day, and we hope that you'll try it out for yourself and tell all your friends so that they can find true love too.

Now go take the personality test already!
