Dating hot chicks sucks

We all know the struggle of selecting the perfect set of photos for a dating app—can a few photos really represent you?—so what if we took all that snap judgement and hot-or-not BS out of it? Brand-new app S'more (you know, something more) is doing just that. S'more sets out to help you get to know a person before you even get to see them. Gone is the concept of swiping right or left based on looks; instead, S'more users first establish connections based on mutual interests.

How it works: Each day you'll receive recommended profiles based on your previous activity on the app (the algorithm takes into account the kind of people you swipe 'yes' to the most), but the matches' photos are blurred and only become visible when you engage with the profile more. Whether that's asking the other person a question, or sending them a "wink" to let them know you're interested, the photo will slowly become more discernible as you get to know each other.

S'more limits the number of chats you can have going at one time, incentivizing users to narrow in on the connections they're hoping go somewhere. What's more, each profile features a "kindness score" to encourage users to be nice on the app.

S'more is only available in New York, Boston, and D.C. right now, but will soon be available in Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, Texas, San Francisco, and Philadelphia.

Available on iOS, Android coming soon.
