A US only site, Reciprodate claims to be the only reciprocal dating site, which essentially means that you must 'rate' other members from their profile and somehow these ratings are used to choose likely matches and possibly mates. They say: 'Our "reciprocal collaborative filtering" technology is literally able to predict who you may be interested in, based on how you have historically rated profiles. Simply rate some people and our groundbreaking technology takes over, providing you with a list of top matches that will likely stir your interest. Not only is the process more simple for you, but the results you get are much more accurate, because EACH member that rates within the system is contributing to YOUR overall matching accuracy.'
While claiming to be a free site initially, it seems that you can receive and answer emails for free, but in order to initiate contact you must be registered. There's no way to find out how much until you have registered though. You can have a look around and by renewing the page get to see different images, although they mostly look like glamour models. This might be that lots of attractive, young American women are unable to find dates in their lives, the age range seems to be 18 to 30.
There seems to be no country choice possible, so this is exclusively US. So if you fancy trying it out, you can register for free, log in and have a look around, search through the database, and rate other members, then wait for matches to be presented to you, although this also is probably only available after you pay. While members can search for people, rate profiles, and use Reciprocal Dating to find out who their best matches are, subscribers actually get to email and connect with their matches.
They also have something called Patron Members. 'Patron Members are generous Reciprodate members who have contributed funding to further the growth of this revolutionary concept known as Reciprocal Dating. As a token of our gratitude, we reciprocate by rewarding Patron Members with site benefits such as increased profile exposures, featured listings, and star recognition.' Which means if you donate $5 you get extra benefits and they spend it on promotion to get new members and broaden the database of singles looking to meet their perfect match or life partner.
