The companys been testing this feature, which occasionally recommends a possible match to users, for at least month now.
Justin McLeod, Hinges CEO, tells me the company spent the testing time honing its backend algorithm and getting Most Compatible to a point where the company feels confident putting it fully out there.The idea is that, essentially, there is a user out there who is most likely to like you and youre most likely to also like. If people like one person, then they might like another based on who other users also liked once they liked this specific person.
OkCupid, for example, asks users to answer lots of questions about themselves and then determines users compatibility based off their responses.
