How would DNA matching work, and why? Do you want someone with similar DNA to you? Vastly different DNA? This sounds like a terrible idea at the outset.

E.g. train a classifier on a large number of successful and not so successful marriages (or non-partners), using DNA as the underlying data. Now use this classifier to suggest partners in a dating app. Regarding pheromones, there's a lot of scientific research [1]. For example: > Individuals rated those of the opposite sex as more attractive if they preferred the individuals pheromones odour. Now I suppose that preference for pheromones is (at least partially) encoded in DNA somehow. So you can see what I'm getting at.
