Dating apps typically pair couples up harmonise to their shared interests , butaccording to The Cut , a new app called Hater take the opposite approach : It matches users on the basis of their dislikes . The app publicly launch on February 8 , just in time for new paramours to bond over their hate of Valentine ’s Day .
Hater is kind of like other swipe - based apps — think Tinder , Hinge , and Bumble — but or else of simply dragging an attractive alien ’s picture right on or leave , drug user are submit with thousands of public figures , activities , or concepts . ( A few examples : Taylor Swift , give for extra guacamole , trilby , and butt selfies . )
Hate what ’s onscreen ? Swipe down . have sex it ? pilfer up . Right or left means you like / dislike the choice , and if you have no opinion , you may simply skitter the interrogative sentence . As you choose “ dislikes , ” Hater will build you a visibility , and begin matching you with kindred spirits who inhabit nearby .
As The swing points out , social psychologist have found that mass tie over their shared dislike of other people — so while Hater ( which CEO / clowning writer Brendan Alper in the first place conceived as a sketch idea ) voice like a joke , its unconventional matching organisation may be rooted in real science .
But at the terminal of the day , the human heart is complex : For every person seeking a crotchety cutie , there ’s someone else who wantsa bearded man , a Baron Verulam lover , or evena Canadian .
Hater is presently available in betafor iOS , and it will be available for Androidthis spring .
