Ease of Use

Registration process

Create your basic profile with a username, email, and password. Then comes the “match” part of Affiny, where you need to answer over 100 questions about your lifestyle, hobbies, interests, values, background, and psychological questions about your happiness, stability, and quirks. After the questions, you’ll be prompted to upload a photo and write a short description of yourself.

Profile set-up

The majority of your profile is set up during the registration process. You can add more photos and more information about yourself at your leisure.

Notification settings

It’s easy to customize your notification settings, which on Affiny are referred to as alerts. Simply select which notifications you’d like to receive by ticking and unticking boxes.

Approved photos

Your photos must meet Match.com’s photo criteria with guidelines such as no nudity, no animations, and no racism.

Messaging

Send and receive messages like you would on any other messaging platform. You can even send and receive one message before you sign up for a paid subscription.

Matches

Affiny is the ultimate matchmaker, connecting members based off of their personality compatibility.

Member search

There is no member search since Affiny delivers matches only.

Special Features

Affiny mainly focuses on compatibility. This is why their registration questionnaire focuses on personality traits, making the new member go into details, especially when it comes to the potential partner’s features. Affiny is aware of the role that small everyday actions play within a romantic relationship. Online dating experts go straight to the point by asking how important it is for you to make decisions, share interests and make long term plans with your partner. Some online daters might complain about the absence of an instant messaging system or a mobile app. There are no options to “wink” at or “poke” another user. When interacting with a potential match’s profile, you can only like, unlike or mark it as “maybe”. However, Affiny remains a good online dating website offering professional matchmaking services and a large database of singles looking for their soul mate. You can research it using a geographical filter or you can browse the profiles recommended by the matching algorithm upon your compatibility score.

Site Safety

Private photos

Members can keep their photos private and select which matches they choose to share them with.

Report a profile

You can report users whom you feel are inappropriate or fake, and Affiny will take care of it.

Age appropriate

Only members 18+ are allowed on Affiny.

Data collection

All information collected during your questionnaire is kept strictly confidential. Your username allows anonymous contact between you and other members. Your email will never be seen by other members and photo visibility is your choice.

Customer support

Affiny is under the same umbrella company as Match.com, which has extremely responsive and helpful customer service. Members of both sites will be cared for by the same customer service hub.

  • Phone Support
    You can access the phone number once you are a membe
  • Email
    There is a built-in email customer contact form on the website.
  • FAQ
    There is an extensive FAQ section with tabs that cover subscription concerns, profile help, and more.
  • Blog

Final Word

Affiny is a reliable dating site that offers its users a substantial matchmaking service based mainly on personality traits. It is most suitable for those looking for long term relationships since their registration questionnaires are aimed at finding you the best potential partner.
