Parship Review

A unique approach to online dating where compatibility matching lies at the heart of an excellent site for anyone seeking a serious relationship.

Parship takes great pride in its compatibility matching – in order to evaluate your characteristics in a truly thorough fashion, everyone has to take a free psychometric test upon joining. The test takes about 15 minutes and will analyse your personality, behaviour, attitudes and values so you’ll have a better chance of finding someone you really match with.

Creating Your Parship Profile

What is really great about Parship is how pleasant they have made the usual tedious profile-creating process. You start off with a 15 minute personality test – then Parship helps you write up an accurate and original profile, giving you handy tips and advice, so that even people who don’t normally enjoy or are not that good at writing things with their own words are sure to succeed here.

Some people are reluctant when it comes to posting their photo on an online dating site. Parship has thought about them as well – your uploaded photos appear in a rather blurry preview format, so it only gives an impression of what you look like. You can then release your proper photo to a contact if you want her/him to see it clearly.

There's a 92% Chance You Might Fancy This One

Upon joining (and filling the Parship test) the system automatically creates a list of suggested partners for every user. It will constantly be renewed as well, so you can keep up to date with the new users in the site. All the contacts are presented with a little percentage icon next to their name, indicating the compatibility score, thus helping the selection process. You can then view your test results in comparison with every single user on the site, which is really helpful when all you want is to find a real soulmate.

Searching on Parship

The search criteria gets saved the first time you join the site, so you don’t need to repeat it ever again – if new people who match your search criteria join the site, they will automatically appear in your suggested partners list. However, should you want to look for someone else for a change, you can just change the search criteria and perform a new search. In addition to UK, you can also search for users from some other European countries.

If you like someone in the site, you can send them an Icebreaker – which is a little more than a 'wink' that you see in some other dating sites. It’s actually a mini-multiple-choice-quiz, really fun and cool way how to get in touch, plus it helps you to find out whether you and the potential date are on the same wavelength.

When it comes to extras, Parship won’t really offer you any of the instant messaging, audio/video chat options – but it does give you the free test with a detailed 60 page report plus all the comparisons between you and your possible dates, so that’s definitely a great extra.

Free vs Paid site

With the free membership you’ll get to take the famous Parship test and see your results, plus obviously create a profile, upload a photo and both send and receive „icebreakers” – which most of the dating sites call 'winks'. You can receive contact requests, but not send them and another important thing – you can upload a photo but won’t be able to view other people’s photos unless you pay. However, with the paid version (6 and 3 month subscriptions only) you will also get a detailed personality analysis – which is a 60-page report with the full results of your Parship test. And it doesn’t end here.

With a full 6 month Premium membership Parship will also give you a 'contact guarantee' – a guarantee of a minimum of ten contacts or another six months free.

Pros and Cons

It's actually fun to create your profile. Parship's an enjoyable site to use.
Quite pricy.
