Platform Confident That Eliminating All Matching Criteria Improves Compatibility
London
A British dating application has announced a revolutionary matching algorithm: selecting match partners through complete random selection, with platform developers expressing confidence that eliminating all matching criteria based on compatibility somehow improves match quality.
“We’ve revolutionized matching,” the CEO announced. “We’ve determined that algorithms are limiting. We now randomly select matches. Much more effective.”
The algorithm eliminates: personality compatibility, interest alignment, value matching, location proximity, and any other selection criteria. Matches are selected entirely randomly from user pool.
Effective matching algorithms identify users with compatible characteristics; random selection eliminates basis for compatibility. The platform apparently believes randomness improves matching.
“Traditional algorithms create predictable matches,” one developer noted. “Random matching is unpredictable. Unpredictable is exciting. Therefore, random matching is superior.”
When asked whether random selection based on no compatibility criteria creates effective matches, the platform responded: “Random selection is surprising. Surprise is valuable. Whether matches are actually compatible is secondary.”
Match success rate remains at statistical chance (approximately 2%). The platform celebrates: “Our matches are completely unpredictable. That proves algorithm innovation.”
Relationship compatibility research documents that shared values, interests, and life goals predict relationship success more effectively than randomness. The platform has apparently abandoned research in favor of surprise.
“We’re the most innovative dating platform,” the company concluded. “Our random matching proves we’ve transcended traditional algorithm limitations. Users appreciate complete unpredictability in match selection.”

In British comedy, the prat is the character who provides the laughter by being completely, utterly, and magnificently foolish.
