Take it from me; dating in general is quite a DAUNTING process. For years now, I’ve been asking my Indian father to ‘PLEASE set me up with an arranged marriage!’. It’s a crapshoot out there and dating online is no different. Perhaps matching my DNA statistically with another will help me find Mr. Right (or at least Mr. Right Now- ha!). This week GenePartner.com a Switzerland based startup launched their DNA dating site, allowing its users (at a cool price of $199) to find their perfect match through a DNA test.  All you need is to swab your cheek in the kit they provide and send your DNA back to the lab for testing.

What’s the big promise? Results show that genetic compatibility gives you a better chance at an enduring and successful relationship. Also, sex lives of genetically compatible partners are more satisfying (yippee!!!). Most important is that fertility rates are higher and the health of the baby is much better when a couple is genetic compatible. 

I love it, now when you need an excuse to break up with someone, you can say, “It’s not you sweetie, it’s your DNA…”
