Ah, what?
Dating apps are all the rage these days.
Why go and meet a person in a club when you can talk to them for a few days and scrutinise their every message to you after deciding you’re attracted to at least four pictures of them?
It’s so easy.
As a single person who holds an instant distrust over anybody I meet in Real Life Scenarios, I am more than familiar with the dating apps of the age.
Tinder, Bumble, and Her held very special places in my cold heart until I eventually deleted them all one-by-one due to the sorry fact that they were taking up far too much memory on my phone.
And also I just couldn’t be dealing anymore.
There is a new dating app, however, that promises to match you up with the love of your life (or just someone you’ll mildly fancy, whichever) in a fairly bizarre way.
Instead of swiping through hundreds and hundreds of photos, you’ll be submitting your DNA and being matched up that way.
Yep, Pheramor is a new dating app in Houston, Texas, and it matches users up using their actual DNA.
According to their website, all you need to do is send them some of your DNA via a cheek swab and their scientists will check it out to see who you’re genetically attracted to.
Your swab will then be destroyed so nobody can clone you or bribe you based on your medical history or whatever.
Pheramor will then input your data back into the app and you’ll be able to swipe based on genetic attraction.
Genius. Maybe.
Unfortunately for us though, the app is currently only in the trial stages.
And, seeing as it’s only available in Houston, it looks like we’ll be waiting a while before we can get matched up with the girl or guy of our dreams.
Back to Tinder it is, so.
