> what's missing from the online dating experience? There are lots of interesting machine learning or other features that smart people could come up with to better group people who have similar personalities or are interested in common things, but I think they'd all be missing the main point of dating. How much stuff you have in common or whether you share a couple of personality traits are nice to have but really don't matter. It all still comes down to attraction. Don't take that hipster vegan socialist seriously online who swears they won't date a Trump-loving meat eater. If there's attraction there, they won't care about their nonsensical list of "must-haves". Rule #1: be attractive. If you think you're not attractive: shut up and lift and work on your life so you get towards making yourself more attractive. Don't let any dang folks spin you the politically correct Disney version of reality that you just haven't met the right person yet or some other nonsense. From this regard, the core of Tinder is probably the closest to accurately quantifying the real human experience, though the number of spammers and bots on there make it not really worth the time.
