Apparently, Tinder has this new feature that matches people on their responses to questions instead of staring at each other’s image. That’s appealing to me. So I launched Tinder. Found out that my profile had been deleted for lack of activity or something (no surprise) so I signed back up.

Can’t find any hint of this “blind date” feature. I’m immediately being presented with some gal’s face and asked to swipe left or right. I’ve clicked the obvious and discernable buttons but they invoke things like “report this evil post” or “edit your own profile” or whatever.
