Youniverse adds online dating … kind of
Youniverse, the social network that uses visual methods to determine your personality type, has added the Dating Quiz to help you find matches based on similarities between your and others' visual dating DNA (what they call your personality profile).
Basically, you choose one of the offered pictures that best corresponds to what you'd answer to a series of questions, and there are plenty of questions. In fact, I took the quiz and spent some 15 minutes answering, to be presented in the end with a profile assessment, accompanied with an image box showing members that are compatible with me. It's all very nice, except that compatibility matches included men, as well as women, and I wasn't asked for my sexual preferences, so that kind of bothered me. In the end, though, maybe they just didn't want to complicate things, and simply gave matches withing both sexes, and let me decide whom I was interested in. It would be nice to be able to filter the matching results though. After that, well, contact the members you are interested in and take it from there.
Even though this is a social network, it's only natural to bring in a personal (dating) dimension to it, but having just a dating quiz doesn't really make this a social dating network (service), so I hope additional dating application layers are coming soon.
Anyway, the quiz is something that will easily take about 15 minutes of your time, and is actually fun. Membership on the site is free, so if you feel like socializing, join today.
