There's a dating app that you've maybe heard of called Hinge. It just got acquired by Match Group, and it's now part of the Tinder / OkCupid / Match.com / PlentyofFish dating app portfolio. Congrats to them. 

Today, the team launched a feature called Most Compatible that recommends users to each other based on machine learning that determines they'd make a good match. A "good match" in Hinge's view is someone who'd match with you, too. 

I've been testing this feature for the past couple of months because I use Hinge, and its recommendations are scarily accurate. The people might totally suck, honestly, but they look really good! They're completely my type to the point that I'm now looking at myself in the mirror, like, am I a robot? Am I destined to always like the same type of person no matter what I do to try to fight against my will? Am I in the real-life version of Westworld

WILL I EVER HAVE A BOYFRIEND? (jk being single is great. I'm doing great!!)
