Taking Online Dating to a New Level with Clicck
On October 11, Clicck technology brought a whole way to find compatible singles to the online community. Using facial recognition software, singles can now select certain facial features that they prefer and then search current online profiles for individuals with similar facial features. The user tags an online photo and is prompted to tell the software why they prefer the photo. These preferences are stored and used during future searches.
The company strived to bring this technology online as an alternative to the popular eHarmony model which matches individuals on personality and character traits and not to such a large extent on physical attributes. If you visit the Clicck site you will notice that their primary audience is the gay community. But the company plans to expand to include all groups.

It was an innovative move by Clicck but I certainly don't agree that people who were looking for a lifetime partner would really focus on the physical attributes of a person.

I'd agree with Mathdelane that the physical attributes of a person seem very irrelevant - as long as they look reasonably good I think most people don't have strong distinct preferences, eg. "he MUST have black hair".

Very good points. The selection process this site uses seems very shallow.
