There are some accessibility roadblocks with Chemistry too, at least there were when I was trying it out. I have a friend who works there, and he helped me navigate through them. He also told me that none of them were of any real use in finding a match, they just provided a bit of entertainment for users of the site. Once I got past the survey and the initial contact everything worked fine, but this was at least seven and a half years ago, so it might have changed since then. He also told me that they weren't interested in making the site accessible, as they were considered to be entertainment category sites, and as such they didn't fall under 805J restrictions. I suspect this is a general ethos across the entire matching website industry.
