Consonance (Gleichklang) – Your Psychological Online Matchmaking Alternative
Consonance (Gleichklang) as an Online Matchmaking Service
Consonance (Gleichklang) is a dating site that includes opportunities for partner search and friendship search. The latter includes the search for friends in the narrower sense, but also the search for travel companions, projects, communities, activities, and professional collaborations.
This detailed text is addressed to those who are primarily interested in matchmaking and want to know exactly what the matchmaking at Consonance involves. Likewise, it explains from the outset what distinguishes Consonance as an online matchmaking service from a classic matchmaking agency. There is also a differentiation from so-called dating apps, which occupy an enormous “market share” among dating sites on the internet. Dating or online dating is the umbrella term that includes various forms, such as dating apps, singles sites, or indeed matchmaking services.
Classic Matchmaking Agencies
The classic matchmaking agency does not operate online. Rather, there are matchmakers who usually run an office that clients can visit directly. The agency has a database of people seeking partners, but can also place extra personal ads to find the right person for a client.
The classic matchmaking agency has only a very limited number of clients for whom it actively works to find a suitable partner. Typically, with a classic agency, a partner is not found immediately, but over a search process that can take months or even years. The aim is to meet the wishes and needs of the clients individually in order to lead their partner search to the desired success.
Even though there are always black sheep, there are institutes that have been in existence for decades and have recorded many successful matches.
The classic matchmaking agencies still exist, but they are increasingly being displaced by the internet and the contact ad forums, singles sites, dating platforms and matchmaking agencies represented there, as well as the dating apps, which were born in 2010 with Tinder as the first dating app.
A main reason for the noticeable decline of classic matchmaking is the cost, which often amounts to several thousand euros. But it is also because more and more people are searching online and fewer elsewhere. With the decreasing number of interested parties, the chances of success at classic agencies are also likely to have decreased.
Dating Apps, Singles Sites, and Online Matchmaking Services
The new matchmaking agencies, dating platforms, and above all the dating apps on the internet have reversed the approach of classic matchmaking:
While classic matchmaking is about offering a rather limited number of partner suggestions over time that truly match an individual, dating apps and also the large online matchmaking services focus on the immediate or rapid offering of countless partner suggestions. The motto is: The masses make it work!
The problem with this approach, however, is that psychological studies show that as contact options increase, people browse profiles more and more superficially. It can also create a consumer attitude, where the hope for an ever better suggestion reduces the willingness to commit. Step by step, the actual goal of finding a partner can be replaced by a purely dating goal. This can even impair relationship ability.
While the market success of dating apps, singles sites, and large matchmaking agencies is undeniable, not everyone feels well taken care of in the giant databases of these providers.
For singles looking for a partner who value their individuality, Consonance (Gleichklang) aims to offer an online matchmaking alternative that combines the efficiency and cost savings of the internet in matchmaking with the individuality and intimacy of classic matchmaking agencies. The matchmaking process takes place over time until success is achieved and against the background of a well-founded psychological approach.
Our offer of psychological online matchmaking also includes providing detailed explanations of our psychological concept, as well as individually supporting and advising our members in their online partner search. In its regular blog articles, Consonance co-founder and psychologist presents findings from relationship psychology and gives practical, applicable recommendations and advice. Interested parties can also read these extensive findings and recommendations in the book “A Perfect Match? Online Dating from a Psychological Perspective” written by Gebauer. In addition to purchasing it as a printed book, this psychological analysis of online dating is also available as a free knowledge resource at Consonance.
Basic Principles of Online Matchmaking at Consonance (Gleichklang)
The gains in cost savings and speed associated with the possibilities of the internet are, with most dating sites, especially dating apps and large matchmaking agencies, bought at the price of a loss of individuality and intimacy. We counter this trend as an internet matchmaking service by aligning our activities to combine the advantages of the internet with the advantages of a classic matchmaking agency and to further improve this through the explicit connection to psychological findings.
Consonance does not have a giant database of singles seeking partners. Where others count in units of hundreds of thousands, Consonance counts in units of thousands. A main reason for this is that we do not allow free membership. Free memberships are the main trick of dating sites to be able to boast in their advertising of huge member numbers, even millions and more. At the same time, expensive premium options are generally necessary to use the corresponding dating sites meaningfully or fully.
Free memberships also come with a price we are not willing to pay:
- On free dating apps or other dating sites, countless people sign up who are not really serious about finding a partner but simply want to try out a free offer. And to test the chances of success of different settings, many also sign up several times at once. The databases of dating apps and the free profiles on matchmaking sites are thus overcrowded with dubious entries, jokers, and photo collectors. In addition, profiles, even if they were once serious, often no longer exist when they are offered as partner suggestions to people seeking partners.
Individuality can no longer be spoken of with dating apps. Because whoever has millions of members can and must treat each individual member as just a number.
To compensate for these disadvantages of dating apps and large matchmaking agencies and yet fully utilize the advantages of an online matchmaking service, including cost savings, we at Consonance have recalled the old principle of classic matchmaking and combined it with the new online approach, as well as a clear reference to psychological findings:
At Consonance, matchmaking is carried out through a limited number of suitable partner suggestions that are submitted over time until success is achieved. We can guarantee the authenticity of all suggestions to a much greater extent than dating apps and free dating sites, because all members without exception demonstrate their seriousness and integrity by paying a membership fee. Since the membership expires without a paid renewal, there are no “dead profiles” with us.
In addition, with this approach, we also support our members in maintaining or building good relationship ability. We show our members how they can use partner search as an important phase of their personal development.
Ensuring Individuality
Consonance combines the advantages of the internet with the advantages of classic matchmaking by maximizing database quality and making it the top priority. Instead of the principle of “many contact options,” which dating apps and large matchmaking agencies implement, we place the principle of “quality over quantity” at the very center of our work.
In order to ensure a successful partner search, Consonance places the individuality of its members front and center:
With one of the large matchmaking agencies, the matching is usually done through a scientific personality test that captures a limited number of very general and broad personality traits. Afterwards, a seeking member is usually simply suggested all other members who are basically suitable based on specified age range and location, with the suggestions ranked by personality similarity. The degree of personality similarity is often indicated as well.
Dating apps dispense with any personality test and simply bring together those people who live nearby and who mutually like each other’s pictures.
However, studies have now shown that general personality similarity has no or only a very small influence on relationship satisfaction. Much more important are individual values, special life constellations, life philosophy, relationship models, or life goals. For example, personality similarity is of no use if one person is looking for a monogamous couple relationship while the other person is looking for an open relationship or polyamory.
Nor can any personality similarity mask the divergences and foreseeable conflicts if one person lives a committed vegan lifestyle and wants to advocate for animal rights, while the other person enjoys eating meat and hunting.
Likewise, personality similarity is not helpful when it comes to questions of acceptance of disabilities, handicaps, physical or mental illnesses, Asperger autism, ADHD, and neurodiverse or neurodivergent traits. For autistic individuals, we offer a special support option: Matchmaking for Autistics. Questions of sexual orientation or gender identity are also not captured by general personality similarity.
We therefore consider matchmaking based solely on general personality similarity to be of little use and, above all, not individual. Because general personality similarity can never replace particularly central traits of an individual lifestyle and thus only provides an extremely rough framework for determining the compatibility of two people.
In order to be able to record the individuality of our members despite online matchmaking and to take it adequately into account, we have opted for a matchmaking approach based on preferences and lifestyle specifics, which is only supplemented in a second step by general personality similarity:
- To support the partner search, we collect from our members a wide variety of components of their individual lifestyle as well as their individual preferences and wishes for a future partnership. For each area, the individual importance is recorded, whereby an area is only used as a criterion for matchmaking if it is also considered relevant by a member for themselves and their way of life, including a future partnership. In reality, the individual members know best what kind of partnership and what kind of person they desire for a partnership. Likewise, the members themselves know best with what kind of people or relationship design they would not be happy.
For success in matchmaking, we collect individual lifestyle components and preferences in countless areas:
- Nutrition and Life Philosophy: Here, vegetarian and vegan dietary styles are recorded. It is not only asked about a vegetarian or vegan diet, but it is also recorded how important it is to a member that a future partner shares the vegetarian or vegan diet. Also read our Dating Tips for Vegan Singles or our Dating Tips for Vegetarian Singles.
- Ecology and Sustainability: We record whether members would like to lead an ecologically oriented lifestyle within a partnership. Consonance has a particular appeal to people with an increased socio-ecological responsibility and systematically uses this trait in matchmaking in the sense of Green Dating. Because many members of Consonance want to lead their lives not only self-referentially, but in socio-ecological responsibility.
- Relationship Models: We ask whether there is a desire to marry, whether someone wants to live together or prefers to live in separate apartments (Living Apart Together), whether a weekend relationship or a long-distance relationship is sought. Willingness to relocate and desire for children are also queried. It is also centrally important whether a monogamous couple relationship, an open relationship, a swinger relationship, or polyamory is sought. All of these central aspects of individual relationship models are checked for compatibility in the subsequent matchmaking and thus fully taken into account.
- Religion and Spirituality: It is recorded whether a shared religious or spiritual way of life is sought in a future partnership. This ensures that people with spiritual interests find each other, as do people who prefer a rational-scientific worldview. Here too, individual preferences and wishes determine whether the trait is used as a basis in matchmaking or not.
- Health Behavior: The importance of a healthy lifestyle is queried, but also whether the suitable person is allowed to smoke or not.
- Special Life Constellations: We ask about the willingness and interest to start a partnership with a single parent. Only if there is corresponding acceptance will a single parent member be suggested as a partner in the matchmaking. We also record the willingness for relationships with people with disabilities, physical illnesses, mental illnesses, including the particularities of autism and Asperger’s syndrome. In the area of psychological complaints and particularities, mental disorders and mental illnesses as well as psychological disabilities are also taken into account at Consonance. Here too, matchmaking is carried out according to the acceptance principle, according to which only such partner suggestions are made where acceptance of the existing particularities is guaranteed. Millions of people suffer from mental illnesses and problems in the form of anxieties, depression, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, or psychoses. Taking acceptance of these issues into account in matchmaking thus affects a large number of people and can significantly facilitate and advance their partner search.
- Sexual Orientations: We do not merely consider heterosexuality and homosexuality, but additionally offer asexual, bisexual, pansexual, skoliosexual, sapiosexual, homoflexible, heteroflexible, and BDSM matchmaking options, ensuring that even people with rarer or less typical sexual orientations can benefit from our matchmaking.
- Gender and Gender Identity: We differentiate between woman, man, non-binary or non-binary, which can also be entered as non-binary male and non-binary female. We also record transgender/transidentity and intersexuality, as well as gender fluidity.
- High Sensitivity: We query high-sensitive processing styles and bring together people who are mutually highly sensitive and who bring at least a high level of acceptance and understanding for the high sensitivity of their relationship partners.
- Artistic Attitudes: We ask our members whether they can imagine a partnership with an artist without fixed working hours, with a profession as a calling, and who even specifically seek such a partnership. As a result, even members who otherwise find it more difficult in their partner search due to the inconsistency of their lifestyle find the right person at Consonance.
- Animal Companions: We ask our members whether they can imagine a partnership with pets (companions, rescue animals), specifically cats, dogs, horses, small mammals, fish, birds, amphibians/reptiles, as well as spiders/insects. In the case of individual aversions, pet allergies, or ethical concerns about pet ownership in general or specifically, incompatibilities can be avoided from the outset in matchmaking.
- Physical Features: Body size and weight are taken into account. Specifically, each member is asked whether they have requirements for height and body size and whether there is also a willingness to search more flexibly here.
- Regional Aspects: The intended place of residence and the desired age range of the future partner are also recorded and used as a basis in the matchmaking.
Due to the consideration of the mentioned and further characteristics, we succeed in deriving much more suitable suggestions in our matchmaking than is possible with dating apps or with most other dating sites that only schematically record general personality similarity.
Last but not least, at Consonance we maintain a continuous dialogue with our members through surveys and our support. We continually incorporate further central criteria. A number of the features listed above were introduced only at the individual request of members. Thus, our matchmaking becomes increasingly more individual over time, and we succeed in combining the intimacy of a classic matchmaking agency with the efficiency and speed of the internet, as well as sound psychological knowledge.
What role does general personality similarity still play?
The special feature of Consonance is the high degree of individualization through the approach of consistently recording and taking into account the individual needs and wishes of the members.
However, general personality similarity is still used as an additional criterion to avoid extremes that are too great. The emphasis here is on the word “additional.” In contrast to most other matchmaking services with a psychological claim, we assign general personality similarity only a supplementary role, since otherwise the matchmaking would become too generalized.
With us, general personality similarity therefore only comes into play once the individual compatibility in numerous preference and lifestyle components has already been determined and ensured. In a second step, a fine-tuning of the matchmaking takes place through consideration of personality similarity based on the Five-Factor Model of Personality with the basic dimensions of Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience. These personality dimensions were chosen because they are among the most internationally researched and best replicated basic factors of personality.
The personality traits are recorded through a personality test developed by us, whose reliability and validity we have thoroughly examined. Predominantly, Openness to Experience now plays a role in the matchmaking, as the evidence is strongest for this trait that similarity can have a positive influence on relationship satisfaction.
The influence of the general personality structure on the partner suggestions in our matchmaking is not the same for all suggestions and people, but varies with regard to the uniqueness of special wishes, preferences, and lifestyle components. The logic of this approach is that the rarer and more central the wishes and lifestyle particularities, the greater the weight they have for a successful partner search. If someone is looking for an asexual vegan with spiritual interests, for example, every suitable suggestion matching these criteria would be offered, because the match in all three characteristics already speaks for such a high level of compatibility that general personality traits become irrelevant in their significance for matchmaking.
Why is Consonance an alternative to dating apps and other dating sites?
We ensure individual matchmaking by determining the fit of individual wishes, preferences, central lifestyle traits, and general personality similarity, with the latter being included in the matchmaking with varying weight depending on the centrality of other traits. In this way, Consonance offers the opportunity for a truly individual, yet professionally supported partner search.
We only allow time-limited paid memberships to protect our database from dubious entries, multiple profiles, and outdated profiles. By incorporating a wide variety of individual traits, whose combination has an extremely selective effect, thus maximizing compatibility, we can make partner suggestions that truly do justice to the individual.
With us, the fit of individual suggestions replaces the arbitrariness and mass lists of profiles and partner suggestions that are common on dating apps, but also on singles sites and many other dating sites. We consider such mass listings or “matchmaking” purely based on photos or location to be detrimental to effective online partner search. Because this creates a consumer attitude that stands in the way of deeper communication processes. Mass lists lead to interference, according to the motto “can’t see the forest for the trees.” Everyone is also in competition with everyone else. On dating apps or a matchmaking service that relies on mass lists of presented profiles or partner suggestions, the value of a single suggestion effectively approaches zero.
Those who demand as many partner suggestions as possible from a matchmaking service often forget that in such a case, not only they but all members receive correspondingly many suggestions. This creates the aforementioned competition among suggestions, which greatly reduces the probability that one’s own profile will be noticed in depth by another person at all. Even during an ongoing communication process, on dating apps and many other dating sites, you must expect that the other person will continue to receive numerous alternative suggestions and will thus be distracted from you. Likewise, you yourself will be distracted from a single suggestion if countless other suggestions are already available and additional ones are constantly coming in.
The seemingly unlimited contact options in online dating can even lead to actual addictive behavior, resulting in constant contacts but no relationships.
Dating apps and most other dating sites rely entirely on the quantity of partner suggestions, while Consonance places the quality of each individual suggestion at the forefront. Selective partner suggestions are offered over time until a suggestion leads to a successful match and the partner search thus comes to a successful end.
For the Consonance approach, patience and perseverance are important. But those who commit to our matchmaking approach have a high chance of finding a relationship here. After all, the point of online partner search is not to have as many contacts as possible, but to get to know the one person with whom a lasting love relationship develops.
What does the matchmaking process look like?
Consonance operates as an online matchmaking service similar to a classic matchmaking agency, in that we focus on the quality of individual suggestions and the success of the match over time. We implement this on the basis of a step-by-step offering of suitable partner suggestions. Going beyond a classic matchmaking agency, our approach is closely linked to psychological methods and findings.
In addition, our matchmaking – again similar to classic matchmaking – includes close support for members through our customer service. For example, every profile is carefully reviewed after the start of participation, and our team contacts the corresponding members with possible suggestions for improvement.
We do not allow free participation, because in online dating, the willingness to pay a fee separates the wheat from the chaff. This ensures an extraordinarily high database quality. The vast majority of our members are very seriously looking for a partner.
We are a small company that, unlike dating apps and the other large monopolists in the dating sector, does not have millions in advertising budgets to plaster billboards nationwide. In addition, there is our special approach, which is oriented toward an ecologically-minded clientele. As a result, we have a small database of people seeking partners in the range of approximately 20,000 members, whose online partner search is characterized by an exceptionally high degree of seriousness and integrity.
At Consonance, it is not the case that countless partner suggestions are derived and delivered at once. Rather, the partner search process unfolds over time and consists of the continuous derivation and delivery of partner suggestions when new suitable people find their way to us, or when you or other members change your search criteria. There is also a time-distribution process.
After an initial number of suitable suggestions have been derived, communication processes can already begin, which sometimes lead to the success of the matchmaking at a very early stage, so that the partner search can be concluded. As a rule, however, the partner search takes longer, and an average required participation period of 2 years can be expected. For some members, finding a partner happens considerably faster, for others significantly later. On average, members who look at every suggestion and make the first contact themselves complete their partner search more quickly. More passive members take significantly longer on average.
A membership at Consonance is an option on future partnership happiness, whereby it is ultimately unknown whether and when this option will be realized. However, we at Consonance do everything within our power to contribute to the exercise of the option and the beginning of a new love relationship.
Ultimately, it is typically the case that one day success occurs. Those who decide on a membership at Consonance will therefore, as a rule, sooner or later meet a person for a happy and stable partnership.
What does Consonance specifically do for the success of its members?
We do not create mass lists of partner suggestions that block each other and ultimately only make a real partner search more difficult. Rather, the procedure is similar to that of a classic matchmaking agency, which offers a limited number of initial suggestions and continuously searches over time for further suitable people in order to bring its clients’ partner search to a successful conclusion. With very loose search criteria, however, a large number of suggestions can also arise. In this case, we recommend pausing new temporary suggestions so as not to cause overwhelm. We will also be happy to advise you on how to narrow your search criteria in this case.
We provide our members with a continuously maintained, informatically supported, and constantly developed and optimized system that is capable of recognizing whether another member is potentially suitable as a partner or not. Furthermore, we support our members in their partner search by advising them, providing literature, and taking steps to increase awareness of Consonance, thereby ensuring a continuous influx of new members into our database.
The success of our members’ partner search lives primarily from recommendations, internet search engines, as well as selectively placed print media advertising and press work. We continuously place selective advertising that, based on an ongoing analysis of the member structure and member needs, has the relatively highest chances of leading to new members who are well matchable with existing members.
In place of the newspaper ads targeting individual people used by a classic matchmaking agency, Consonance as an online matchmaking service uses targeted advertising measures. Thus, continuously – just as previously happened for you – new members find their way to us, among whom one day the person who exactly corresponds to your needs and lifestyle will be found.
The matchmaking at Consonance is therefore a time-consuming process from which success can only be expected over time. If a member is prepared for this, the prospects are very good for bringing the partner search to a successful conclusion. However, it is also important that you do not expect entertainment, many contacts, liveliness, lots of chatting, or flirting from Consonance. Dating apps are far better suited for this, whereas at Consonance, only the probability is maximized that one day you will meet the person here with whom you will be happy in the long term.
Can it happen that no suggestion can be made at all?
As an online matchmaking service, we support our members in their partner search by searching for other people who match you and suggesting them to you. You can then contact these people via Consonance. We recommend making it a habit to write first messages. In online dating, first messages should never appear impersonal, but should always make clear why contact with the other person is sought and what commonalities are seen. This article provides further recommendations on first messages in online dating.
The matchmaking process takes time because the right person must first arrive before they can be suggested. Through a continuous influx of new members, achieved through referrals, search engines, and selectively placed advertising, we ensure that in the end it is usually only a matter of time until the right person is found. However, it is not possible to give a guarantee for the success of the matchmaking.
In the case of rare traits, especially in combination with a geographically or age-wise narrowly limited search area, it can happen that we cannot make any partner suggestions at all in the initial phase of membership. However, we will give you recommendations and advice on how you can change this situation through limited adjustments.
An example:
- Vegans who are looking for asexual partners within a 50 km radius of Munich will have to wait a long time for suggestions, as will the senior in Hamburg who is looking for a non-smoking, healthy, spiritually interested, and ecologically-minded partner in her age range with a minimum height of 1.85 m.
Currently, about 2% of new Consonance members receive no suggestion in the initial phase of matchmaking. However, this lack of suggestions does not mean that a continued membership is hopeless; rather, it can only be deduced from this that the partner search will presumably take longer until the right person is found, or that the individuals concerned can decide to adjust their search criteria.
But even with rare traits and strong restrictions of the search area, the right person will one day come along and will then be suggested.
Due to our highly selective approach to matchmaking according to strict individual compatibility and the high barrier to membership (no free memberships), we cannot guarantee that partner suggestions can be made immediately. What we can guarantee, however, is that as long as the membership exists, we will continuously search for suitable people and suggest them as soon as they find their way into the Consonance database. In addition, our team will be actively by your side with direct advice in your partner search. In this way, many people with rare traits, even people with serious illnesses or disabilities, or with peculiarities of their sexual preferences or dietary style, have already succeeded in finding that one person for a happy partnership.
What guarantees does Consonance offer?
We guarantee our members that we will always do our very best, using an effective matching algorithm and on the basis of continuous efforts to acquire new members, to achieve success in their partner search. As a provider that relies on explicit matching of suggestions and does not allow free memberships to inflate the database, we cannot guarantee for every individual case that we can make partner suggestions immediately, even though the overwhelming majority of new members immediately (i.e., within the first 24 hours) receive a limited number of partner suggestions.
As a rule, Consonance can make a limited number of partner suggestions to a new member immediately, whereby the matchmaking success typically only occurs over time. In rare cases, especially with strong restrictions on spatial and age-related search criteria, it can take longer until the first partner suggestion can be made. This is also due to the fact that Consonance has a uniquely high database quality, but the database size is limited, so search processes can take time. Over time, however, suggestions will be made, and the chances are high that you can ultimately complete your partner search successfully through the highly individualized matchmaking system of Consonance.
What about the security of matchmaking at Consonance?
We place great importance on the safety of our members in their partner search. We only allow paid participation, and we manually review every profile after the start of participation.
This significantly raises the threshold for participating in the matchmaking offered by Consonance, and as a rule, we already succeed during the first manual review in identifying people with dishonest or even criminal intentions and preventing them from pursuing their improper goals with us by blocking them.
Furthermore, Consonance has implemented an automated security system designed to prevent abusive use as much as possible, even with specialized matchmaking. In addition, Consonance addresses itself in its entire external presentation to a select clientele with an increased socio-ecological responsibility, and the probability is high that Consonance would be quickly informed of any abuse of its matchmaking and could then act immediately.
Despite all efforts to ensure high security for its members, Consonance cannot guarantee safety. Consonance therefore advises its members to initially use the confidential cipher system for getting to know each other over a longer period of time, and absolutely to meet for the first time in public places and with the knowledge of friends or acquaintances. We strongly advise you to end a contact immediately and contact us if money demands are made.
Even though security hysteria is inappropriate, especially since the risks at Consonance are low, these recommended security measures are as sensible as they are necessary to avoid possible dangers associated with online partner search and to keep the risks as low as possible. We strongly recommend that you also read this blog article on how to protect yourself from fraud in online dating.
Finally, it should be noted that even large corporations and governments cannot reliably protect themselves from cyberattacks. Please be aware that there is no foolproof protection here, and it is not impossible that your data could end up on the internet. This has already happened to users of huge dating sites. It would be presumptuous and unrealistic for us to pretend that this can be ruled out with certainty. However, we advise you to view these residual risks with composure and to participate confidently in online dating, for which you actually have no reason to be ashamed.
How can the alternative approach of Consonance be summarized?
We distinguish ourselves through the combination of an approach entirely focused on ensuring high database quality, using psychological methods and specializing in a socio-ecologically motivated clientele. In this way, we pursue a different approach from dating apps and large matchmaking agencies and represent a psychologically founded green dating site.
At the same time, we place great value on diversity within the framework of acceptance, appreciation, and sustainability. As a matchmaking service, we unite the most diverse people in the sense of the queer rainbow, who nevertheless share an openness to other ways of thinking and tolerance. This includes, on an equal footing with our heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual members, asexual, pansexual, multisexual or polysexual, skoliosexual, sapiosexual people, or people with fluidity of sexual orientation, such as homoflexible or heteroflexible individuals. In addition to women and men, non-binary individuals, transgender/transidentity individuals, intersexuals, genderfluid, and genderqueer people also participate equally and appreciated in our matchmaking.
We are also particularly committed to the matchmaking of people with disabilities, handicaps, physical illnesses, mental illnesses, Asperger’s, or autism. We also specifically support highly sensitive people in their partner search. We effectively support single parents as well.
We are open to all religions, spiritual beliefs, as well as agnosticism and atheism, but not to discriminatory fundamentalism, for example in the form of sexism, homophobia, or transphobia.
Due to our very clear external presentation, it is unlikely that people with pronouncedly restricted-rigid ways of thinking and prejudices would find their way to Consonance and stay with us.
In this respect, we are a truly alternative matchmaking service in the positive sense of the term, which aims to enable a successful friendship search and successful online dating, especially for those people who do not find themselves in dating apps, other matchmaking services, and large dating sites, or at least do not feel comfortable with these providers alone.
In this sense, we occupy a niche among dating sites and will therefore necessarily remain a small dating platform and matchmaking service, whose attractiveness does not arise from the number of suggestions, but from the quality of the suggestions and the ultimate success of the partner search as the actual goal of your membership with us.
Please feel free to contact our team at any time so that we can assist you with questions and difficulties. We are delighted that you have found us and wish you the best of luck and success in your partner search!
