Would love to talk about the dating app world. It's so funny how many founders come into it thinking their "revolutionary matching algorithm" or whatever is going to make the greatest dating app ever. Until you realize that the problem is human nature, and no one wants to be told who they should match with. People want a name, an age, and a face; that's it. And anything that gets in the way of that will lead to your app being ignored.

- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoYup. That's why Tinder won over OKCupid. People just want to meet attractive people, compatibility be damned. I'm glad I met my wife in 2010 before online dating became an utter cess pit.

- cableshaft 4y agoAnd a location/distance, that seems to be pretty important most of the time, from what I can remember, but otherwise yeah. We had one of those people as a client and thought his "special sauce" of Myers Briggs, some Neuroscience research test bullshit we had to build into the system and have people, and some bullshit matching algorithm based on astrological sign would be the next big thing. Of course it wasn't, but my boss was happy to take the guy's money to build it anyway. The client actually told us that it would have ten million of users after three weeks of release, with basically no money spent on marketing. It did not. Nowhere close.
