No disagreement on the swipe - we're playing around with a several other UX mechanisms that might be better suited for higher time/consideration per person, would love to get your feedback on it when new UX's release.

In professional networking, both discovering mutually benefitual relationships and ice breaking are big problems. We're currently largely focused on the former, but hope to tackle the latter as well.

Happy to provide feedback on new UX -- my contact details are in my profile.

Hey...left-field idea for the ice-breaking problem: t-shirts with a list of all your likes and dislikes printed on them.

Instead of the clichéd "what do you do" it's "hey, you like NCIS too!". Easier, cheaper to test than an app.
