Hinge Founder Has Created AI Dating App with No Profiles or Swipes








Hinge founder Justin McLeod announced an $18 million fundraise for his new dating company, Overtone.

McLeod stepped down from his CEO role at Hinge just last year, and Hinge owner Match Group — which also owns apps like Tinder and OkCupid — is helping to fund his new company, alongside FirstMark Capital and Pace Capital.

While details on the company are limited at this point, Overtone describes itself as “a voice- and audio-forward service, enabled by AI, that provides highly curated introductions.”

“Overtone is not a dating app,” McLeod wrote in the blog post. “By that I mean it’s not a social platform with profiles that reduce people to stats, quotes and photos. There are no opaque, algorithmic feeds trained on split-second impulses. And there’s no juggling likes, matches and chats across many people at once.”

It may seem odd for the guy who created Hinge to disparage algorithmic feeds and swiping, but the dating industry at large is evolving with the realization that users are dissatisfied with the status quo. A Forbes Health survey conducted in 2024 found that 78% of dating app users felt burnt out. The survey’s 1,000 respondents reported that they spent about 51 minutes per day on dating apps, but this time investment did not often yield fulfilling connections.

This has always been true - online dating is a mix of Sloot’s gon sloot and Chad paradise. I have to dig up that article where it showed the bottom 50% of men got 1% of the clicks lmao.

EVEN if this website showed the perfect looks matched man who was perfectly compatible for a female, they would turn him down and go for Chad. That is the issue with the low effort click for a date model - it needs to be harder with the scarcity effect, it’s just how the human mind works. More choice = less satisfaction

Online dating is an algorithm that is designed to keep your attention. Not make matches.

It would be great for people - especially guys - to be matched with people who they are actually looksmatched with so they get a reality check and stop complaining about not matching when they only swipe on girls way out of their league.

I doubt he created an app to rectify dating problems caused by apps. There's no financial benefit, as they all use on microtransactions to exploit it users. He'd lose so much money if everyone found their dream partner within days and stopped using it. I don't believe it. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

They spend 51 minutes a day scrolling through pictures of men/women to edge and fantasize.
Are women "burnt out" from having potential mates buy them things and act on their best behavior for a date?

Women want a guy 2 points higher than them is the current skew of the dating market though. A 5/10 woman doesn't want a 5/10 man, she wants a 7/10 man. A 7/10 woman wants a 9/10 man and so on.

Wrong

They all want a 10/10 man

You are a 7/10 man you will not be getting a 5/10 woman. You don’t qualify
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

The impression I get of your personality is that you seem more interested in "winning" arguments rather than arriving at the correct conclusion of a given point.

To still try to reason with you though, my personal experience is that I'm probably 8/10, 6/10 women are very happy with me and are clingy as shit. If I were to fire up hinge again today, I could probably consistently sleep with a different 6/10 woman every week if I wanted to. Yes if a 10/10 theoretically appeared, they would want him but even delusional women understand generally that a 10/10 isn't appearing if they're 6/10 and they're generally very happy with me.

7/10 women think they're too good for me though. Such is the clown state of the world.

I'll give it shot when my current Hinge relationship ends, I'd love to see who it matches me with, but I already have a fairly targeted search algorithm in my head already to navigate hinge and bumble.

Bumble is supposed to be more serious than tinder in that regard too. But those pricks banned me so fuck em srs.

I don’t really get it.


At some point the two people are going to have to see what each other look like. Once that happens, if the guy is short or a dork, or the girl is fat or whatever. You’re just going to ghost.

It seems like just delaying the inevitable. No one is going to meet another person in real life on a date without seeing the person first.

But if you’re single, you should give it a shot. Anything with tech, they are usually overly good at first to gain market share, then once they become big, they fuck over the consumer. So maybe you can take advantage of that initial window

Way back in the day, Eharmony had something like that and it was a joke. It basically tried to match you with the female version of yourself.

I've been in a relationship for the past 9 months but my hinge probably still has 100+ matches sitting idly there. If I post a screenshot, will you go to home depot?

Your face was posted all over the OG misc

Being in a relationship means nothing when it comes to you calling yourself an 8/10

Don't care about your hinge matches

People who use "dating" apps to try to find a partner are massive losers

Those things are only for hookups. Imagine looking for a spouse on a trash tier hookup app

I post what I post with full awareness. 8/10 is not just good looking, it's on the exceptional side because these things fall on a bell curve normal distribution. That is to say, it's not like 50% of people are 5/10 average, it's actually 80%-95% because that's the fattest part of the bell curve. 8/10 isn't top 20%, it's more like top 1%-3%.

It makes no difference to me if you believe me. What matters is how girls respond to me IRL and the response is usually gushingly positive. That's what matters, not the opinions of some guy on the internet.

And even though it doesn't matter, you probably do believe me and just want to cope and deny, otherwise, you would have taken me up on my home depot challenge. I'm sure you've seen all the other guys talking about how dead online dating is. You know why online dating still works well for me? Because I'm good looking, it really is just that simple.

I don't think you do have self awareness. You're the guy that posted about being robbed by a hooker and then your mom picked you up or something.

I've literally seen your pic, you're a basic looking asian guy that's likely invisible to the average woman.

I have no idea wtf you're even talking about with regards to home depot.


If you really are that good looking, post a pic of your face with your eyes and lips blacked out. Keep everything else and we can see your facial structure. That's the only way you prove it.



Saying "oh but my hinge matches are so good and women treat me well in real life" is about as self aware as a carrot.

For women, AI fitness programs. Failing that, an AI counselor that convinces them to kill themselves.
