Dating app which aimed to find users their looksmatch based on facial ratios failed in 2014

The dating app "Find Your FaceMate" aimed to looksmatch users based on their facial ratios.
The owner, Christina Bloom, died in 2014:

Could You Find Love With Your Look-Alike?

Dating site Find Your FaceMate tries to match couples based on similar looks.

Once you upload your picture, the site uses facial recognition technology to zoom in on nine points of your face -- your eyes, ears, nose, chin, as well as the corners and center of your mouth -- to find you a match. When it spots "face mates," it alerts the pair.

"If you look at most couples, you see that these facial features are very similar," Bloom said. "I really believe that getting this theory out there will help people."

Because the user base is just growing, Bloom said they haven't yet used the engine to match couples. But when it has amassed enough users, it will use Face.com's biometric face recognition technology to look at key points on the users' faces and calculate the distances between them. When it finds similar proportions, the site will flag it as a match.

"It's not like an exact match. It's more about the shape and the points in the face," she said. "I see it easily, but when there's a little bit of weight involved, it's a little more difficult to see. When a man's hairline is a little higher it's difficult to see. The coloring throws people off."

Bloom said she recognizes that compatibility and similar values are also key components to finding long-lasting love, but said she hopes her site can help people get a jumpstart.

In romantic relationships, Johnson said, research has shown that pairs tend to be of similar attractiveness.

"There's a long-standing pattern where a person's own level of attractiveness is matched in their partner," she said.

Being of equal attractiveness doesn't necessarily mean that they have similar facial features, but it could lead to common facial characteristics, such as facial symmetry and youthful qualities, Johnson said.

It does not take into account race:

She noticed the phenomenon among friends and family, as well Hollywood stars, like Iman and David Bowie, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Heidi Klum and Seal and Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

It would have failed anyway because femoid don't want to date their looksmatch

(For example your looksmatch would be a turbo stacy but she would want me cuz I mog you) (And my looskmatch would be a tera stacy but she wants some private jet owning fat chode dude)

Same for Asian women and white dudes. Or bbc and fat beckys

The app just takes into consideration the user's facial ratios depending on the photo they upload, like the site looksrate, but not race at all.

No shit that was xangsane's point
Also would fail at taking into account soft features
Facial ratios are not everything

I believe it also implied soft features were also taken into account as well as ratios but not race

Imagine the white women throwing up at their matches and the curries getting boners from looking at a white LTB face

Looksmatch roped already

 

[HerpDerpson]

If I go to a date and see a woman with a long midface...
Well, I probably wouldn't mind, as long as we're not reproducing.
