Pros and Cons
- Specifically focuses on the academically-minded: including graduates and therefore a large number of singles with qualifications in higher education.
- A very different type of matching algorithm: the Academic Singles Personality Test focuses on 28 variables which influence a successful relationship.
- Unlike many matchmaking sites, you can gain international matches as well (you’re not just limited to Australia).
- Still a rather small number of members, though this is growing.
- Taking the test and receiving a "personality profile" is free. You can also send your first message for free: costs incur for unlimited communication.

This is Academic Singles:
AcademicSingles: Where intellectuals meet
AcademicSingles prides itself on being a matchmaking service geared specifically towards the intellectually and academic-minded. It aims to provide users with a way of meeting like-minded matches. Most matchmaking sites have a special algorithm which aims to pair people up who complement one another. In this specific case, the test focuses on the factors that influence a successful relationship.
You will be able to find someone here who matches your expectations as well: not everyone is specifically looking for marriage, but more importantly a partner in life. As a result, your matches will include people who have similar relationship goals to you and that’s the beauty of AcademicSingles.
So what kind of members will I find on AcademicSingles.co.uk?
You will pretty much find intellectuals and academics – however AcademicSingles.co.uk also has many users who work in high-powered, successful careers and who are very goal and career-oriented. Age-wise users tend to be that bit older. The average age for both men and women is 36 years old.
What are the fees on AcademicSingles?
You can do quite a lot for free here: singles simply need to do the test and receive a personality evaluation. In and of itself, the test will allow you to gain a bit more insight into your own personality. You can also take a look at the matches you receive and even send your first message for free. If you decide to continue communication then simply take a look at the premium subscription.
AcademicSingles is a new competitor for EliteSingles in UK. It´s growing fast and it´s service is great.
