Are You Kidding Me?

Of course, reading Cosmo again, I saw a small blurb about a new website called http://www.scientificmatch.com , which uses a saliva sample to match you with a potential mate. This method uses histocompatibility, which are genes that play a role in chemical attraction.

The site gives the benefits of this type of matchmaking:

• Chances are increased that you’ll love the natural body fragrance of your matches.
• You have a greater chance of a more satisfying sex life.
• Women tend to enjoy a higher rate of orgasms with their partners.
• Women have a much lower chance of cheating in their exclusive relationships.
• Couples tend to have higher rates of fertility.
• All other things being equal, couples have a greater chance of having healthier children with more robust immune systems.

I don’t know, matching you up with someone based on their DNA? I guess people have done stranger things to make money. It does say that women who take birth control aren’t eligible for this service, something about messing with the hormones or something. It also won’t work if you weren’t raised by your natural parents.

On the plus side, I did find this: “For your security, we ban all felons.  We also ban everyone convicted of any sexual offense, any violent crime, any crime involving a weapon, and any Internet crime.”

Well that’s good to know. I looked around, but didn’t really find any ‘testimonials’ of people that have done this sort of thing. I’d love to know what percentage this has worked for compared to the number it hasn’t.

You can find out more at their website.
