Academic Singles Review

Last Update : February 26, 2024

While some people might say that opposites attract, the dating site Academic Singles believes that a matchmaking system is the best way to help people find the right partner.

Chemistry plays a key role at the early stages of a relationship. The science of love is based on chemicals which flood in our system, and which have a direct influence on who we are attracted to, and how we feel.

This is the reason why the senior online dating site Academic Singles, one of the main brands of the leading dating group Insparx, uses a personality test to suggest you partner recommendations.

The idea is to connect like-minded Aussie singles over the 40s who share the same values, who have a similar academic level, and whose goal is to give love a second chance.

Academic Singles: How does it work?

Registering in Academic Singles is easy, and completely free.

To ensure that their search for love is going to be a success, all users are asked to answer some questions about their own persona, about what they are really looking for in a partner, and their ideal relationship.

The test on Academic Singles only takes about 15 minutes to complete, and the responses are used to ease the search for your significant other.

Finding like-minded singles is a matter of seconds thanks, not only to the platform’s matchmaking system but also to its advanced search tool, where you can filter your preferences by the type of your ideal partner, ethnicity, region or even income!

When you find a match that really meets your expectations, you can communicate by writing a captivating message. Then, it is you two who decide where you want your conversation to lead: hopefully an unforgettable first date!

Test Academic Singles

The dating website and the dedicated app are both very user-friendly, making easier for older audiences to connect with each other.

The site’s features may be seen as quite standard, but, in a positive way, because in the end, you really do not need to spend hours and hours looking for like-minded singles, they are mainly presented to you by the system after completing the personality test.

Only Premium members can see pictures, check visits, and send messages. In that way, the platform guarantees you that people who contact you have taken their time to fill their profiles, and are 100% interested in finding other men/women to initiate a new love story. Thus, it is almost impossible to find fakes on the website.

Main features

Interacting in Academic Singles is very easy, and pretty straight-forward. Standard users can enjoy some basic features like uploading pictures, solving the personality test, and checking their matches.

Communication, though, is restricted to subscribers. If you upgrade to Premium, you will be able to:

  • Add contacts to your list of favourites.
  • Check who visited your profile.
  • See all the photos.
  • Read, and send unlimited messages.

Reliability, and safety

Academic Singles’ website is totally safe to use. Your personal information is SSL-encrypted and continually monitored to maintain data security.

The little time needed to create your profile, and solve the exhaustive test that determines your personality type, and the speed with which the platform connects you with other similar singles is totally worth it.
