The article notes that dates involve 3 men and 3 women. Is this intended primarily for straight people, then?

Unlike grouper it does not appear that any of the parties knew each other in advance. So if my understanding is correct, the two same-sex individuals you are matched with are also potential partners.

The other response is better. If it worked this way, you were gay, and the other two people of your gender were straight, you'd wouldn't have any potential matches there.
