Twine
Let’s face it, most dating sites and apps encourage users to make
judgments about people based almost exclusively on a profile photo. (A photo is
the first thing you see until you click to see a person’s profile.) But an app called Twine blurs a person’s
profile at first, so it forces users to evaluate possible Cupid connections
based only on personality info. Twine syncs up with the Facebook profiles of
users to create a more secure environment. The app provides up to three potential
matches every day. Users of Twine can see each other’s age, location, a
compatibility meter, and their mutual interests (and that blurry profile photo),
which the app uses to suggest conversation topics. You can chat anonymously for
a while. Then, if both of you agree to see each other’s clear photos and first
names, bingo—all is revealed.  |

Anomo
Like Twine, Anomo is a popular dating app that hides the users’
profile pictures until they choose to share them. So instead of photos, in the
beginning people only see a cartoon avatar. They also see a username, gender,
age group (verified by Facebook), location, and interests. To get things going,
the app suggests games to break the ice and help find potential matches. To
make it more fun, Anomo lets you chat one-on-one (using 540 characters or less),
invite people to play the games with them, and check into locations. As time
progresses, users can unlock personal content including their names, pictures, and
occupations. Anomo was originally launched as a dating app, but it has also
gained additional traction as a way for people to make friends and connect
professionally.
Tinder
Tinder
might just be the perfect dating app for single people who suffer from a fear
of rejection. It was launched to connect people anonymously based on their
locations and their personal preferences. For whatever reason—who really knows
why some apps and some websites catch fire, Tinder has exploded in popularity.
Already more than 35 million people have created profiles and more than 1
million matches have been made. One reason it has caught on so quickly is
because the app links to users’ Facebook accounts. This gives Tinder the power
to suggest possible matches based on Facebook friends and interests. To address
privacy concerns, members remain anonymous until they both indicate a mutual “Like.”

What does it all mean?
So
I guess the moral of this story is this: as long as there are single people,
there will be no shortage of ways to connect with them, meet them, and fall in
love. Take it from yours truly, Chad Stone, the Middle-Aged Babe Magnet. I
found my wife online, so I can tell you that technology can be a wonderful
thing when you’re looking for your soul mate.
