Why music?

Music is everywhere. In our assorted & diverse lives we share the common experience of music.

But we don’t all like the same music. And we don’t all respond to music in the same way. Music says a lot about us.

Whether our MP3 player is attached to our hip or we might tune into one radio show a week, we all make distinct choices about music.

Interestingly, we have personality traits that are compatible with the traits of other people who like music in a similar way.

When we group together people with similar Music Personalities, we bring together people with similar personality traits. That they would get along with each other is no wonder.

The ASM process

If you like U2, do you relate to everyone who also likes U2? Doubtful.

This service isn’t about matching people who both like the same band.

ASM is about matching people who have a similar appreciation for music.

When matching people, ASM presents a “compatibility indicator” showing you 1 to 4 notes. The 4-note symbol you see on a member’s profile means that you have a higher likelihood of compatibility with that person, 3-notes offer a good likelihood of compatibility, and so on down the scale.

See our compatibility indicator.

Of course the music we like is important. Listen to the music of your matches while browsing their profiles. Read the music section of their profiles. You’ll learn what you want to know about their tastes and preferences.

You could get a 4-note match (high likelihood) with someone who likes different music than you. That is okay, even great. It’s likely that you two will be able to relate on a variety of levels and recommended good music to each other.

Even if the romance sparks are not flying, give this person a chance to turn you on to new music. Your 3-4 note matches are on your wavelength. They respond to life in a similar way and choose their music the same way you do.

And, who am I?

I am a girl in love with music. I listen as often as possible and my tastes are wide-ranging.

For most of my professional life I worked in the music business. If not for those years working with my colleagues, the chance to observe the variety of music personalities that exist would have escaped me.

And I am confident calling myself an expert dater. I’ve been at it for 15 plus years now and I have lots of dating and relationship stories under my belt.

(Thanks to my parents for being so wonderfully patient about all of this.)

A Sound Match was created by someone in the same shoes as you and can vouch that it works. Music can help find you your Sound Match.

I haven’t been on a bad date in years … because no date escapes taking the music quiz before we go out. Here is your very own bad-date repellent.

The research

Many years ago I began collecting music test results from couples I knew. Over and over again I saw a correlation between the couples’ test scores and the strength of their relationships.

Couples who scored closer together got along the best. Over 85% of the time, couples in healthy, long-term relationships scored within a 10% range of one another. I already knew this from my own relationships. But, when I finally graphed out on paper the results of friends and family’s relationships, I was thrilled to see my theory supported by all the data I had gathered. Knowing I was on to something great gave me the encouragement (and stamina) to keep going.

Many years went into research, development, and testing and refining the tools that could identify and match similar Music Personalities. Along this road, the theory proved itself time and time again, keeping me in pursuit of further development. I’m excited to now bring it into the world and to you.

Now what?

In 3 minutes, the ASM Music Personality Quiz will measure your interest in music and send your Sound Matches to you, ranked by level of compatibility.

Check out the profiles and listen to the music of your matches. I hope you are pleasantly surprised by how much it all resonates with you.

Become a member and give yourself a head start in finding someone who “gets” you and who might just be the love of your life.

At a minimum, enjoy the music.
