   Cute. Of course, beyond basic deal breakers, neither do people know their preferences (but they think they do), nor do the majority of preference categories actually matter.

   This is a common problem with all dating apps. Specifically, interests, hobbies, daily routines, objectives, etc. have nothing to do with compatibility.

   “We like the same things!” is the compatibility signal of a naive 22-yr old…

      Yeah but they now have all those interests, hobbies, daily routines, objectives, etc. tied to an email address once they forward that information on.

         Right, so if your hobby is overthrowing the government it’s probably better to put that on your Tinder profile only.
