Hey, can I ask what makes it FIRE-y? Like do you do income validation? Or is more a matter of your profile questions (as seen on https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V_10Y8OtQt7b73-GwVoq_edrjsW...)?

Asking for a friend who's not really all that interested in dating, but IS very interested in FIRE. Maybe this will get her looking...

1) people - everyone knows what FIRE is and more financially minded than an average person 2) profile questions - some are FIRE related and can matter greatly for FIRE folks, e.g. fat vs lean FIRE 3) design - no swiping, incentivizing talking to people today instead of waiting for a perfect match

Cool, thanks! I'll have to suggest this the next time I talk to her.

What is 'swiping' in this context?

In most dating apps these days (especially after Match Group bought most of them), you're shown one potential date after another and swipe across your phone to either indicate interest (say yes) or pass them by (rejecting them).

Typically I think you swipe left to ignore them or right to indicate interest. But it's been a while and I could be wrong about that.

Okay, got it, thanks. It's a bit like swiping right on a Whatsapp message to reply to it, a feature they introduced somewhat recently.
