Facebook begins testing its dating service

I look forward to many shitshow threads about this.

Facebook begins publicly testing its online-dating product, called Dating, in Colombia today. The service was first announced at the annual F8 conference in May this year, and will likely be available in other locations in the future. For now, users aged 18 and older in Colombia will be able to create dating profiles and, once those reach a critical mass, find some matches. WIRED got to preview an early version of the service, and it looks promising—especially for users looking for meaningful long-term relationships rather than hookups.

As Facebook announced in May, users will create separate profiles just for the Dating service. The only information ported over is your age and first name; you will need to manually fill out additional required information including your verified location, gender, and the gender(s) of the people you’re interested in matching with. You can also specify your height, religion, job title, where you work, where you went to school, and whether you have children.
You can round out your profile with up to nine total photos or ice-breaker questions provided by Facebook. Currently, there are 20 questions to choose from, like “What does the perfect day look like?” For now, you can’t write your own.
'It’s all about opting-in and making sure that people are really intentional.'
Nathan Sharp, Facebook
Once your profile is set, Facebook will use a unique algorithm to match you with potential dates, based on factors like things you have in common and mutual friends. You won’t see anyone you’re already friends with on Facebook, nor will you see people you’ve blocked. You can also report and block users with the same tools available elsewhere on the social network.
Facebook restricts potential matches to people located less than 100 kilometers away (there will be a different metric-system equivalent when the product rolls out in the US). Like other dating apps, you can also choose only to match with people who live nearby, have children, share the same religion, or fit into a specific age or height bracket.
I look forward to many shitshow threads about this.

Facebook was never a dating service to begin with? Well...dating is a loose terminology.

I can only imagine how many "dating" recommendations will end up being between family members.
And not just in Alabama or West Virginia.

TL;DR
Just let me know when to pack my bags for the trip to Jessie Eisenberg's private island so we can do some ex machina shite. I'm so down.

missed opportunity.
Could have called it "facefrick" or "sit on my Facebook"

More dating apps the better. Never been a better time to be single

I'd have to think that Facebook could quickly dominate this market
Most of the other apps are garbage and they have the existing user base to effectively kill off all of the other ones fairly easily

I hate all social media. I even hate LinkedIn.

Bumble has so much potential but it's really poorly set up
