Eric Hölzle happy to help you find the perfect partner. Requires only a little of your DNA. Hölzle ScientificMatch.com is the founder, one of the new dating sites that use genetic information to connect with singles of their potential partners.
Hölzle, a trained mechanical engineer, came up with this idea a few years ago, inspired by the Swiss study, which passed into history as "an experiment with. The researchers asked a group of men to two consecutive nights assumed the same undershirt. T-shirts were then transferred to a group of women who were asked to rate the attractiveness of odor, which remained on the material. As the most attractive women belonging to recognize the scents of men whose immune system genes most different from their own. Subsequent studies have confirmed this regularity. When I learned about this experience, I thought it was a great idea for a dating service - says Hölzle. To find a partner ideally suit in terms of genetic, just 2 thousand U.S. dollars: enough to take out a life free access to the site founded by ScientificMatch. A similar assumption is based on his action GenePartner.com, a Swiss company that works with other Internet networking sites worldwide. Persons who register for ScientificMatch, are asked to send samples of their DNA. - Simply swab, which a few seconds you rub the inside of the cheek - Hölzle explained. The sample is sent for analysis and the results entered in the database. Regardless of users are encouraged to created profiles, such as in traditional dating website, with pictures and description of interests. Genetic information are not made available to users, but they get a list of "matching" profiles, or those whose owners are the most different genes of the immune system. Hölzle is aware that for many people the very idea is repulsive. But stresses that its service does not work on a personality test online, which determines the choice of partners, a computer algorithm. Love is a riddle, which is composed of many elements. So far no one managed to solve it. We cannot predict who falls in love with whom, we're not even close to such knowledge. However, we know that we have certain factors - explains, pointing out that most people associated with people of similar social and financial status, as well as showing a similar level of intelligence. - But the critical element to this puzzle, which is precisely the deal, a chemistry, physical, sexual chemistry. Hölzle refers to other studies which have shown that partners whose immune systems are genetically compatible, have healthier children and more satisfying sex life. Douglas Fields, American neurobiologist, who was engaged in research on the action of pheromones, believes that biology can play an important role in the unconscious, and matching partners. - But for something as complicated as the relationships between people respond much more complex processes - reserves. ScientificMatch began operating in December 2007. For now, its scope includes the Boston area, but plans to expand its business Hölzle throughout the country, using traditional cooperation Matrimonial agencies. Does not indicate, however, how many users have a party, or whether the project pays. And although the 45-year-old man he is single, has so far not benefited from ScientificMatch. As interpreters, in Miami, where she lives, you cannot even use the site. It concedes that it has tested on himself the main assumption: the current partners of collected DNA samples to see if it attracted women "fit" genetically. - Everything is in agreement - he concludes. |
