Hermosa Beach, CA (PRWEB) February 5, 2004 --OneKeyAway (OneKeyAway.com) is a new singles-events company that uses the MatchlinC Technology (www.matchlinc.com) devices as an electronic personality compatibility gadget the size of a small car alarm remote, as an ice-breaking tool.

OneKeyAway has designed singles events whereby there are from 50 to 200 singles searching for a relationship. Guests at OneKeyAway Mixers program portable electronic gadgets to find personality matches from other singles. Guests have the opportunity to mix and mingle with other guests in a non-threatening way.

Events are throughout the Southern California area with plans to expand to San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Florida and Texas. The next events will be at HAMA Sushi in Hermosa Beach on February 4, Gotham Hall in Santa Monica on February 12, and COVE LA in Glendale on February 25. For a list of events, go to website at www.onekeyaway.com.

The events are being touted as the NEXT SINGLES TREND!

The gadget (MatchlinC"), developed in the late 1990s, is the first individual mobile personality compatibility device. The MatchlinC has a micro-computer chip that uses a proprietary algorithm designed by various university professors that analyzes two peoples personality compatibility. The MatchlinC analysis gives the users a range of how well the potential relationship will work.

Guests answer a set of questions pertaining to the most important things about their preferences, attitudes and the core of their personality, that they would not ordinarily reveal to someone - at least not right away. Only they know how the questions are answered. Their personal information is kept secure. Then they enter their answers into the MatchLinC by depressing either the 'P' or 'T' button for each questionnaire item. It takes only a few minutes (typically less than 5) to complete this process, and their profile is encrypted and stored inside the computer's memory.    

Upon meeting someone else, guests compare their personality profiles by pointing the MatchLinCs at each other and pressing a button. Within seconds, the MatchLinC instantly shows how compatible they are, in one of eleven levels ranging from 'Excellent' to 'Needs Work!'

A high rating likely means the potential relationship will have little compromises in order to be successful. On the contrary, a low rating reading likely means the potential relationship will have more compromises in order to be successful. Basically, it allows users to make a completely informed decision about their emotional, romantic or sexual partner choices early into the relationship!

Throughout the night, guests approach other guests to "zap" or "MatchlinC" each others personalities to their devices. If there is an attraction, either personality wise or physically, the two can mutually agree to talk further or move to "MatchlinC" other guests. The event is designed to be fun and fluid, but at the same time allows everyone to meet.

We believe this product combined with the event will be the next "Pet Rock" of the single and social industry. This truely takes the speed-dating idea to the next level.

On January 29th, OneKeyAway launched their first official mixer at Gotham Hall in Santa Monica. Fox News covered the event and plans to include the mixer in a special Valentines segment scheduled to air on KTTV Channel 11 Los Angeles February 13, 2004.

On February 2, 2004, Linda Nunez of KNX Radio Los Angeles did a feature on OneKeyAway and how it is helping singles meet other singles.
