Didn't newspapers used to print text-only singles bios?
Were they as generically sarcastic as Tinder's? "Going to the supermarket, want me to get you anything?"

How about a dating app that explicitly uses Optimal Stopping, the solution to the Marriage Problem/Secretary Problem:
> the best way to proceed is to interview (or date) the first 36.8 percent of the candidates. Don't hire (or marry) any of them, but as soon as you meet a candidate who's better than the best of that first group — that's the one you choose!

The question becomes how many more dates or relationships will you have in your life? 36.8% of what?
More importantly, will my soulmate also be on that app? Better chance to find them on Tinder.
