Tbh at some point it's just the incompetence of people at filling out their own profiles that's the problem. Case in point: Hinge actually tries to encourage people with basic prompts, but as it got popular most profiles are basic clichés.

You end up with the situation where the person's stats (Bank manager at 33 yrs old, college educated) is more interesting than their love for dogs, tacos and travel.

I never liked hinge because of the Twitter like character limit. It forced short profiles so everyone just puts the bare minimum instead of trying to pack information into a limited space.

I really liked Okcupid until they absolutely drove it into the ground... All they did was remove useful features and force the "swipe only" method so that you'd spend forever swiping and hopefully pay them to see who liked you since you cant do any sort of search to find someone you might be interested in.
