A dating app for haters
Plop. Email in my inbox from Maytje. Something about dating apps, but just a little different. Something for all misanthropes. Is this secretly a hint that you think I'm a whiner, May? Wink wink. Ha, yeah, nowadays you can date online just a bit differently than you're used to. No longer looking for that man who, like you, loves candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach; what you want is someone who has just as much of a terrible dislike for the way too small portion of mayo you always get with your fries when you eat out. Or someone who struggles just as much as you do when taking the first bite of a taco and the taco shell breaks. People who hang the toilet roll the wrong way and that kind of end of the world problems.
The dating app Hater ensures that you meet someone who hates exactly the same things as you do. Romantic, right? How it works is simple: you download the app and then Hater gives you the chance to voice what you really think about, among other things, people who walk way too slowly, Vladimir Putin, and so on. You just swipe up if you like something, and if not, you swipe down. A child could do it.
With around 3,000 topics that you can ‘hate’ or ‘like’, Hater finds matches for you based on all the shared things you both like and dislike. But no worries, even on Hater you can be superficial. Do you find your match mediocre? Then you just swipe him or her away. And if you're a match, you play the ‘icebreaker game’, which helps you bond even more over all the things you both find terrible.
The bad news is: you have to be patient (swipe down: I am very impatient), because Hater will only be available from February 8. But hey, by then you probably have an even longer list of things you hate, and so you'll find your prince charming on Hater in no time. Happy hating, uh, dating!
