> Besides exact matches, prefix matches come first.
Google Maps used to do this, and when I entered "9831 Main St, Funky Town" once and a day later I would not remember the street number. Entering "Main" would not give me what I wanted.
Google Maps does what I want now AFAICT and entering "Main" will return "9831 Main St, Funky Town" first.

Yes, for reasons everyone has said, and to collect those life experience badges (going to college, college friends, etc). You wanna try a lot of things once.

Good food, opportunities to create (e.g, photos, apps), thrill (e.g., roller coaster, whitewater rafting), prefer nature more than concrete jungle, funny TV shows, social circles that I don't need to fit into.

You desperately need to grab someone from the street and see if he knows what he's looking at. The UI is not very intuitive, or you have specific target audience.
- Age range input. It took me a minute to understand what this is for. I assume the lower bound is my current age and the upper bound is the retirement age
- How much do you currently have saved? ex $1,000. I actually tried to type a dollar symbol and nothing happened.
- Aggressive vs conservative. Huh? What are you talking about? What is aggressive/conservative?
The list goes on...

You're friends are not introvert, are they? I say "Yes" more to those who seem to understand an introvert more. I say "No" more to those I don't have much in common. In my case, I say "Yes" more to invitation from techies than from sport lovers.

I drove to the address 3204 Canyon Lake Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068 mentioned in the article about 2 months ago. That's a really good spot I can recommend.
