Matching theory

See main: Matching theory

On the topic of if The Relationship Company guarantees a match, the site declares, similar to Helen Fisher, scientific advisor of Chemistry.com, who states that “no one can predict who becomes electrified by whom”, that: [2]

“No one can predict how a relationship will evolve.”

This postulate, however, is invalid in the context of the sciences of chemistry and human chemistry, in which chemical reactions and human chemical reactions are predicted via the spontaneity criterion on the basis of Gibbs free energy-affinity measurements, one of the core principles of chemical thermodynamics.
