The way people would navigate the suggestions, would in itself allow you to match up like-minded people. But there are two types of like-mindedness - the longterm common interest and the shorterm. By this I mean if you ask somebody to list there favourite numbers - say first 5 numbers and then matched those to other peoples choices, that would be in general static choices and would give you some common grounds of a longterm interest. Now if you asked people to pick 5 random numbers - those that matched would be people who have a short term comminality with those who matched up in that at that point in time there intune and thinking the same. A better example would be crowd mentality in that with the right set of instances the crowd will share a interest and act as one were if they were all isolated would they share the same reactions. That is the difference with a short term say FOTM type comminality and long-term. It's not easy and if it was then life would be very boring as everybody would be very samish and they are not. Also with every rule there is always an exception and the classic phrase "opposites attact" does have some weight and also goes against any form of pattern matching as it is not a hard and fast rule you can say just beacuse they are the complete opposite they will get on.
