  Well, I guess my question to you would be: What would prove it to you? The position you seem to have taken right now is that you believe no metric exists and no matter who says there is one you won't believe it. eHarmony has shown several reporters verifiable numbers proving 90 member every day. I've never heard anyone dispute that claim. The only dispute is what percentage of their members that actually represents. But lets say its a pathetically small percentage, 20% or so. The fact that they've achieved even limited success seems to indicate that the idea has merit and that refinement of that idea could yield better results. That's a theory backed up by mathematics. In the end relationships are just two people choosing to join together and stick with each other which means a discipline such as game theory which has been shown to effectively predict the future actions of people could be a prototype for predicting relationship success. Because staying in a relationship with someone is just a behavior.
