The concept may sound creepy at first, but FindYourFacemate.com will be good for more than finding your narcissistic match in another person. Studies as old as 20 years show that actual couples have an objective resemblance rating higher than that observed between random photo juxtapositions of perfect strangers. Perhaps the most effective way to find your other half is to look for your mirror image?
This unique dating website was founded by a woman named Christina Bloom, who reportedly looks quite similar to her ex-husband. The matchmaking system is designed to link different users based on physical features, using facial recognition software to unite the people rather than parallels in personality.
FindYourFacemate.com is set for launch next month, and time will only tell how successful the social network will be at creating solid relationships that bring two together as one.
