Isn't the whole concept of matching on a bunch of survey questions BS? 90% of attraction is butt-sniffing DNA match stuff you only get in person.

- TillE 13y agoThe questions are an excellent initial filter if you've flagged a few obvious deal breakers. It's the FizzBuzz of dating. Then you move on to personally examining the profiles of people who have passed that test, contact them, and so on. It's certainly not an optimal system for casual sex, but it does a reasonable job of finding candidates for any relationship more serious than that.
- a8da6b0c91d 13y agoBut people are totally full of it on what their deal breakers are. They'll thoughtfully answer a survey one way but then behave very differently in smelly meatspace.
- gweinberg 13y agoHey, if you can come up with something better, there's a market opportunity. Matching people up by scent isn't the worst idea I've heard.

- klipt 13y agoI think something better already exists - it's called speed dating. It was invented by a rabbi as a Jewish matchmaking event where you meet many people over a short space of time (maximising the chance of finding mutual attraction). But most cities have very few events which are consequently overpriced due to lack of competition.
- aestra 13y agoThey are good for some things. They ask you about for example your views on religion and drug use, potential deal breakers you want to filter out from the get go. Thats what they are best for.
