When you think about dating apps or dating websites, or just dating in general, people try to tend to find mutual likes and interests. For example if both of you like eating Greek food, then talking about the best Greek restaurants in town would be a good conversation starter or topic. Or if you both love a particular sport, TV show, movie, and so on.However just like love, hate is just a strong an emotion which is why over in London, 29-year old Brendan Alper has created a new dating app called “Hater”. As its name and the article title suggests, this is a dating app that will try to match people with you based on the things that you hate. While we suppose this is a slippery slope, on the surface level it could be about a mutual hatred of cilantro, or a mutual hatred of people who cut the line, or the hate that both of you have at people who walk too slowly.
According to its website, “Hater is making serious online dating more approachable by replacing cumbersome surveys and bios with a fun, alternative way to express your personality.” Alper also had this to say about the app: “What we hate is an important part of who we are, but it’s often swept under the rug in our public persona. We want people to express themselves more honestly. Plus, it’s easy to start a conversation with someone if you know you both hate pickles.”
At the moment the app is an exclusive to iOS devices in the UK, but it is expected to find its way onto Android come Spring of 2017. If you’re interested you can check it out via the iTunes App Store.
