Tinder should start using Eigenfaces to give people an estimate of the chance of finding a match when they sign up. You know, to manage expectations.
"With your face and your standards you have a 1% chance to find a match. Please lower your standards or improve your face."

- tibbon 12y agoSince Tinder imports images from Facebook, this could be used to suggest the 'best' photos from their Facebook.

One of the biggest easy questions is, "is this a face?"
- remarkEon 12y agoYeah the game theory of Tinder is pretty interesting. In my single days, any group shots were always left swipes.
