Online Dating at Consonance (Gleichklang)

(1) Consonance (Gleichklang) Enables a Different Kind of Online Dating

Consonance (Gleichklang) is not comparable to typical dating apps, singles exchanges, or even the major matchmaking services. So if you have already had negative experiences with partner search or friendship search there, you are well advised to give Consonance a try. Here there is no “All-Hurray clientele” and no mere “chat fans”. Our members take their partner search and friendship search very seriously.

Consonance (Gleichklang) is a serious and earnest matchmaking platform and getting-to-know-each-other platform, on which only those singles meet who are genuinely looking for a partnership, as well as singles and non-singles who want to improve their social networking (friendships, projects, communities, leisure activities, professional cooperations).

With this, we at Consonance offer a counter-model to dating apps:

• On dating apps, the system is designed for quick stimuli, short chats, and constant reorientation. Users move in an environment that continuously opens up new options without working towards commitment. Encounters remain provisional, communication fragmented, relationships replaceable. At Consonance (Gleichklang), matchmaking is geared towards permanence from the very beginning. The goal is not activity, but compatibility; not quantity, but a sustainable connection.
• On dating apps, the focus shifts from finding a partner to participating in the system itself. Matches become the benchmark, contacts replace relationship success. At Consonance (Gleichklang), the goal remains finding a partner. Success for us is not defined by matches, but by relationships.
• On dating apps, short-term reward mechanisms take effect that reinforce searching behavior. At some point, this often creates a feeling of inner emptiness that is compensated for by further dating. At Consonance (Gleichklang), there are no such mechanics. The process is deliberately decelerated and focused on substantive compatibility.
• On dating apps, the number of possible contacts increases, while stable relationships become rarer. The system only works as long as the search continues. At Consonance (Gleichklang), contacts are limited in order to enable focus and depth. Matchmaking is not designed to be endless, but ends where a relationship begins.
• On dating apps, a relationship is promised, while the model is in fact based on interchangeability. This dynamic corresponds to the concept of Liquid Love described by Zygmunt Bauman, in which bonds are liquefied and availability is more important than reliability. At Consonance (Gleichklang), stable, long-term partnerships and friendships are at the center, understood as shared life projects with reciprocity and care.
• On dating apps, split-second decisions often determine image-based selection. At Consonance (Gleichklang), matchmaking is carried out on the basis of shared values, life philosophies, and relationship models. In this sense, Consonance stands closer to classic forms of partner agencies and matchmaking services, but combines these with psychological foundations and community structures.
• On dating apps, users are largely left alone with their search process. At Consonance (Gleichklang), they are supported by professionally sound content and accessible support. Chats and short-term contacts are not the focus. The focus is on real-life encounters and the formation of sustainable relationships.

In this way, Consonance (Gleichklang) offers a different quality of online dating that is not comparable to dating apps, but also not to typical matchmaking services and singles sites on the web. We are an alternative matchmaking service and an alternative dating platform. At Consonance, you can be successful in your partner search or friendship search precisely when you have not been successful with dating apps or large online matchmaking services so far.

If you would like to understand the more detailed psychological differences between dating apps and a matchmaking service like Consonance, you can also read about this in this article on our psychology blog. At Consonance, you are in the right place especially if you have not been satisfied with your dating on other dating platforms so far, or if you do not want to start on these other dating platforms at all. In this case, Consonance offers you the opportunity for a different and alternative kind of dating.

(2) High Chances of Success in Dating

„Through you I have found the happiness of my life. I wouldn’t have believed it anymore. Thank you very much!“

We receive letters like this time and again. The online dating, partner search, and friendship search of our members at Consonance (Gleichklang) come with exceptionally high chances of success. We have thoroughly evaluated the success rates of our members, and you can read about them in the article “Everything about Success Rates and Search Duration at Consonance” on our psychology blog.

It is particularly pleasing that the success rates of online dating are largely the same for men, women, non-binary persons, intersex individuals, transgender persons (transidentity), heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and pansexual members. Gay men and lesbian women have comparable matchmaking rates. Very good matchmaking rates are also shown in the partner search of people with disabilities, handicaps, physical or mental illnesses, sexual dysfunctions, people with HIV or Aids, autism, ADHD, or other neurodiverse or neurodivergent traits. The success rates of our members’ partner search are the same for members from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Likewise, our highly sensitive members, as well as our members with a spiritual orientation or special religious beliefs, have comparable matchmaking rates to all other members. Single mothers have an average matchmaking rate, while single fathers even have a particularly high matchmaking rate at our matchmaking service. Good success rates are also shown in matchmaking for vegetarians and vegans. For this, also read our dating tips for vegan singles or our dating tips for vegetarian singles. The chances of success for partner search are also comparable when searching for monogamous, open, or polyamorous relationships. Age and educational level also do not have a relevant impact on matchmaking prospects. Even members of advanced age have good prospects at Consonance (Gleichklang) to successfully complete their partner search.

Basically, the evaluations show that with a minimum search duration of one year, approximately one in three members finds a partnership, with this success rate doubling after two years and continuing to increase with longer search duration. Our evaluations thus show that participation in partner search at Consonance (Gleichklang) generally leads to success if you stay with it and remain active. Dating at Consonance is not about short-term chats, fun, vibrancy, and entertainment, but solely about the crucial goal of finding a lasting partnership and real friendship. Our online matchmaking service and friendship search are optimized for this.

At Consonance (Gleichklang), your dating will lead to real relationships, even if there is less entertainment, variety, and fun with us than on dating apps and singles sites.

(3) Seven-in-one: More Than Partner Search

Partner search, friendship search, travel partner search, as well as contact lists for projects and communities, leisure activities, Consonance (Gleichklang) regulars’ tables, and professional cooperations all in one! The other psychological matchmaking services only offer partner search; with us, you can additionally find friends, travel companions, project partners, and many other social networks. Travel partner matchmaking and contact lists are included under the friendship search module. Consonance is therefore much more than a typical online dating platform. Take advantage of the success package SEVEN IN ONE now!

Not only partnership, but also friendship and other social networks are an important factor for happiness in life. However, friendship is neglected in almost all singles sites, matchmaking services, and dating apps. This is where Consonance (Gleichklang) sets a different accent. Incidentally, this also means that Consonance is not only suitable for singles, but also for non-singles.

There are actually two forms of relationship search at Consonance (Gleichklang):

• The form of partner search and friendship search, as well as the travel partner search belonging to it, directly tied to personal characteristics: Here, people’s ideas, possibilities, philosophies, wishes, and longings are compared with each other so that compatible people can get to know each other. This person-related comparison is highly effective for effective matchmaking and friendship search.
• In addition, with our community contacts, there is also a topic-based approach: Here, the focus is not on individual people with their characteristics, but on projects, from vegan farmsteads to intergenerational living, from activities in nature to commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. Through these topics, our members become active, and in the projects they naturally also perceive each other as individuals, from which friendships and partnerships can again develop.

Online dating at Consonance (Gleichklang) is more than just the pure search for romantic relationships. Through dating at Consonance, you can also find friendships, communities, projects, or professional cooperations. You can activate or deactivate the various options for your dating at any time according to your current needs.

(4) Targeted Exactly to Your Relationship Needs

Consonance (Gleichklang) is the only matchmaking service and dating site that truly matches precisely. We do not just calculate the global similarity of personality traits, but determine the compatibility of the overall life constellation in the first step. From single parent status to higher body weight, from artist profession to high sensitivity and vegetarian lifestyle, vegan, highly sensitive, absolute beginner, spiritual or ecological.

Here, people with various relationship models find their goal, from the monogamous couple relationship, to open relationships and swinger relationships right through to polyamory, from living together to separate apartments (Living Apart Together) right through to long-distance relationships. We also hold very dear the special support for members with disabilities, handicaps, physical illnesses (MS, cancer, etc.), mental illnesses (depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, psychoses), autism and Asperger’s syndrome, sexual dysfunctions or also HIV within the framework of our matchmaking and friendship matchmaking. We record everything relevant and ensure that the suggestions are compatible with it. Find the one person who meets your needs!

Dating at Consonance (Gleichklang) is not just scrolling through photos. When you use Consonance dating, you will get to know people whose relationship models and life constellations really fit you.

(5) Dating for All Orientations

Online dating at Consonance (Gleichklang) enables people of all genders and gender identities, as well as all legitimate sexual orientations to conduct a successful partner search. In our matchmaking, we take into account, among others, the genders and gender identities male, female, non-binary, transgender (transidentity) and intersexuality. In addition to heterosexuality, people from a broad queer spectrum can bring their partner search to success with us. This includes, among others, homosexuality (gays and lesbians), bisexuality, pansexuality (pansexual, omnisexual, multisexual, polysexual), skoliosexuality (skoliosexuals search for non-binary persons), asexuality (asexual, gray-asexual) or also homoflexibility and heteroflexibility. Homoflexible people identify as homosexual but can also experience an interest in people of a different gender in special situations or at special times and constellations. Conversely, heteroflexible people experience themselves as heterosexual but can also have a sexual interest in people of the same gender in special contexts or temporarily.

In addition, we also take sapiosexuality into account in our matchmaking. Sapiosexuals are sexually attracted less by physical characteristics and primarily by the intellect or intelligence of another person. Our matchmaking is aimed at everyone, from heterosexual members who clearly assign themselves to one of the two binary genders, to genderqueer. Unlike most large matchmaking services, everyone is welcome and represented here. Consonance (Gleichklang) stands for online dating that is emancipatory, based on acceptance and tolerance. In contrast, the large mainstream partner exchanges mostly do not even know bisexuals, but force all members to decide either on the search for a man or a woman. Incidentally, we also match according to compatibility in mutual BDSM interests. With our psychologically based matchmaking, we ensure that all these orientations have an optimum of chances of success. To our knowledge, there is no dating app, singles exchange, or online matchmaking service in the German-speaking area that is as emancipatory, inclusive, and at the same time psychologically designed as Consonance.

Consonance (Gleichklang) is the right place for your online dating if you value tolerance and diversity, or if you yourself have a rarer sexual orientation or gender identity.

(6) Step by Step, Instead of Mass Lists

In online dating, we determine suitable people step by step. We do not send out mass lists with more or less suitable people. Because this leads to a chance of success equal to zero in partner search, since nobody focuses on the individual anymore – after all, there are 100 others waiting. With Consonance (Gleichklang) dating, individually suitable suggestions with high chances of meeting are derived and sent over time – step by step. This represents a fundamental difference from dating apps and also from most other singles sites and matchmaking services.

All these offerings maximize short-term fun by providing as many suggestions as possible. In reality, however, this impairs the success of partner search by encouraging arbitrariness and constant variety. A superficial consumer attitude takes the place of the search for encounter and bonding. Consonance (Gleichklang) is your dating provider for a sustainable path that is not about arbitrariness and interchangeability, but about establishing a lasting partnership or friendship.

In dating at Consonance (Gleichklang), the real getting-to-know a person over time is paramount, rather than the consumption of suggestions. This makes dating at Consonance almost unique in comparison to the many other dating apps, partner exchanges, and singles sites on the internet.

(7) Only Serious Members

Almost all dating apps and singles sites accept members en masse and free of charge. In fact, free offerings in online dating are the standard. This is good for the database size, but bad for matchmaking. Because such databases consist of duplicate and multiple profiles, jokers, image collectors, etc. At Consonance (Gleichklang), there are exclusively serious participants who have proven their seriousness by paying a membership fee. Join our circle of people who want to meet each other seriously! We place great value on database quality and the security of partner search at Consonance.

We do not want to be a dating platform where the mass counts, behind which non-existent or dubious profiles, even fraudsters and love scammers, are often hidden. As a matchmaking platform and getting-to-know-each-other platform, Consonance (Gleichklang) combines a socially emancipatory approach with a high level of seriousness. We want to be a matchmaking service and a friendship matchmaking service where you feel comfortable and safe. We see Consonance as a place where people stay until they have reached their goal. Instead of fleetingness and quick effects, we focus on sustainable partner search and friendship search. Our evaluations show that the vast majority of Consonance couples actually stay together and remain happy.

Almost all online dating platforms are structured so that you can create a profile quickly and get started immediately. However, this attracts unserious people. This in turn leads to ghosting, catfishing, love scamming, and many other negative effects. Since our founding in 2006, we at Consonance (Gleichklang) have stood for a different kind of dating, in which real people get to know and meet each other.

(8) Confidentiality and Security in Dating

Online dating at Consonance (Gleichklang) guarantees confidentiality. At Consonance, nobody can simply scroll through your profile. Only members who match you can view your profile. You decide what you reveal about yourself. Via our cipher system, you can communicate anonymously until you want to take the first step for a phone contact or a meeting. Consonance thus offers you security, anonymity, and confidentiality in online dating. Join in with the confidential partner and friendship search!

(9) Joy in the Pursuit!

It is not about superficial fun, but about genuine joy in reflection, solidary self-optimization, and relationship building. It is helpful to fill out the questionnaires and receive feedback about your own personality, and then very relaxed, start the search for that one person for life or good friends. Partner search is both: waiting and acting. Waiting in partner search is a state of readiness for a relationship and vigilance so that the moment of relationship happiness is not missed. Acting in partner search is the readiness to move from the waiting state into action in good time and to build a relationship when this option arises. Online dating can thus also contribute to personality development. Participants in dating at Consonance (Gleichklang) think about themselves, their relationship models, and search criteria. They get to know themselves better and thereby simultaneously improve their chances of success in online dating.

In this sense, we wish you a calm waiting and effective acting during the time of your partner search at Consonance (Gleichklang). If you see partner search and social networking as a phase of your personality search or would like to learn more about this topic, we recommend the book by our co-founder and psychologist Guido F. Gebauer “A Perfect Match? Online Partner Search from a Psychological Perspective“. In addition to purchasing it as a printed book, this psychological analysis of online dating is also available as a free knowledge resource for reading. Guido F. Gebauer is also available to you as a coach to make your online partner search as effective as possible and to develop positively in the process.

(10) Happiness in Life

Partnership and friendship are among the most important factors for satisfaction and well-being. Use the Consonance (Gleichklang) principle now as a step towards happiness! With our psychologically founded matchmaking and friendship matchmaking, we support you in expanding your social network and thus achieving greater satisfaction and stability. Unlike dating apps, singles sites, or large matchmaking services, psychologically founded, individual support is available to you throughout your entire participation period, ready to assist you quickly at any time with all content-related difficulties and questions.

On many dating sites, short-term fun or distraction dominates. According to studies, online dating often tends to be more about trend orientation, a hunger for experiences, self-affirmation, or virtual contacts than about genuinely finding a partner and friendship. Here, dating at Consonance (Gleichklang) is different and leads to more happiness in life through the establishment of real relationships.

At the same time, you can use the time of partner search as a time for your personal development. Consonance (Gleichklang) members think about themselves, change their everyday lives, reflect on their values and basic attitudes, and thus create good conditions for their lasting partner happiness and friendship happiness. Consonance is so much more than just any provider in the online dating market. Rather, Consonance is a meeting and dating community where people strive for the shared development of their personality and life plans.

Consonance (Gleichklang) offers a comprehensive, psychologically founded, and at the same time value-oriented and solidary framework for finding your relationships. As a matchmaking service and partner agency, we help our members develop romantic relationships with each other. As a getting-to-know-each-other platform, we promote the emergence of friendships and travel partnerships. As a platform for community building, you have the opportunity at Consonance (Gleichklang) to join projects or communities or to establish them yourself. At the forefront of everything we do is the real human encounter, which we do not want to replace with virtual matches or AI.
