    Nice! But is there an app with this algorithm/strategy/design for finding good matches for casually having fun together? All the apps I know suck.

      Basically all dating apps are optimized for enabling casual hookups at this point.

      >All the apps I know suck.

      Do ALL the apps suck, or are you maybe not appealing enough for being picked for casual hookups by the users on the app?

        The app has an incentive to suck unless you pay

          Go recheck your calculations, you'll notice something about their incentive in the case where you pay.

        Think more platonic hanging out. Hiking, game night, grabbing a drink.
