The mission of Tinder was to kill Badoo, but it seems Tinder is killing Match.

Please do not forget when the IAC Personals, now Match Group, bought OKCupid (5+ years ago) for an astronomical amount of money, the OKCupid team had the task to copycat Badoo, but they failed in that mission. IAC Personals backed Tinder instead (via Hatch Labs), as the copycat of Badoo.
But Tinder can not outperform Badoo (10+ years old site).
And Badoo also owns Bumble.

PERHAPS HINGE CLOSED FOREVER. NO REBOOT
Screenshots from Hinge rebooting / part 1
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/09/screenshots-from-hinge-rebooting-part-1.html
The 3 milestone discoveries of the 2001 - 2010 decade for Theories of Romantic Relationships Development are:
I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users. "Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
II)
People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with
their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other
system that learns your preferences are useless)
III) What is
important in attracting people to one another may not be important in
making couples happy. Compatibility is all about a high level on
personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating
with commitment.
COMPATIBILITY is: STRICT PERSONALITY
SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
but no one is using the 16PF5 (or similar) to assess personality of its members!
but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!
but no one is scientifically proven! No
actual online dating site is "scientifically proven" because no one
can prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who
will have more stable and satisfying relationships -and very low divorce rates- than couples matched by chance, astrological destiny, personal
preferences, searching on one's own, or other technique as the control
group in a peer reviewed Scientific Paper for the majority (over 90%) of its members.
but no one can show you a list of compatible persons like this:
( for a prospective male customer / sample but calculated with real values)
“Over 1,000,000
million women database, here is the list of the 12 more compatible with
you. Notice that woman#1 is the most compatible with you but she could
be more compatible with other men right now.
woman#01 is 95.58476277% compatible
woman#02 is 95.56224356% compatible
woman#03 is 95.52998273% compatible
woman#04 is 94.18354278% compatible
woman#05 is 93.00453871% compatible
woman#06 is 93.00007524% compatible
woman#07 is 92.99738452% compatible
woman#08 is 92.37945551% compatible
woman#09 is 92.29779173% compatible
woman#10 is 92.27114287% compatible
woman#11 is 92.19515551% compatible
woman#12 is 92.12249558% compatible”
The
only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using the 16PF5
normative personality test, available in different languages to assess
personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same
traits of the 16PF5 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals
(needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern
recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between
prospective mates.)
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry
The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement".
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.

Personality
Based Recommender Systems are the next generation of recommender
systems because they perform far better than Behavioural ones (past
actions and pattern of personal preferences)
Which is the RIGHT approach to innovate in the Personality Based Recommender Systems Arena?
The same approach to innovate in the Online Dating Industry
== 16PF5 test or similar to assess personality traits and a new method
to calculate similarity between quantized patterns.
Online
Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000
(twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are
not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5
test instead and another method to calculate similarity.
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

copycat of eHarmony Inc.
EliteSingles in only a copycat of eHarmony. Nothing more than that!
eHarmony,
is a 16+ years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big
scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big
Five normative test had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling/EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.
Testing the site with a dummy very tall woman (6' 11" or taller in heigth, the upper limit you can choose)
Some suggested matches are 7' or taller.
Suggested matches are very very tall men!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_in_sports (see Basketball)
The average American male is 5 ft 9.3 in (1.76 m) and 99% are 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) or shorter.
Yet, the average player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is listed at 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m).
