If you’re hoping to find a man who is just like that ‘one who got away’, Match.com has got the answer.

The popular dating site has introduced new facial recognition software that allows users to upload photos of their ex-boyfriend to “help the company better determine the type of look you’re attracted to”.

“People have a type and it’s not necessarily about height or race or hair colour, but a lot of it is about face shape,” a Match spokesperson told Mashable.

To offer this to users, Match has teamed up with Los Angeles-based matchmaking service Three Day Rule, which uses facial recognition algorithms to pair people together. However, the option is only offered to Match’s premium users, who spend $5,000 for a six-month package.
