A new dating app called Hateful Hearts is offering a fresh approach to finding love by focusing on what you despise. While many dating platforms emphasize shared interests, those in long-term relationships know that compatibility goes beyond mutual likes—shared dislikes are equally important. Fortunately, this innovative app has arrived to help you discover potential partners based on what you both hate.
Currently in its beta phase, Hateful Hearts is available for free. I decided to check it out while feeling under the weather this weekend—not in search of romance, but simply to explore the app’s swiping features.
User-Friendly Interface
The interface is user-friendly. Users are presented with various topics, and they can swipe up if they love it, down if they hate it, left if they dislike it, and right if they like it. If you feel neutral about a topic (such as guys who wear necklaces), simply tap the right side of the screen to skip. After responding, the app provides insights into how other users feel about the same questions, making the experience more engaging than traditional photo-swiping.
Vast Range of Topics
The range of topics is vast and eclectic. Participants can weigh in on everything from intimate subjects like “anal” and “69” to more serious matters such as “activism” and “abortion.” There are even quirky topics like “Alanis Morissette” and “slow walkers.” This app encourages users to reflect on their preferences, revealing how even minor dislikes can impact a relationship.
Creating Your Profile
Once you’ve answered several questions, you can create a profile that highlights your unique ‘hater’ style. This includes listing your top Hates, Loves, Likes, and Dislikes, allowing potential matches to get a true sense of your personality. Imagine if this concept expanded to help moms find friends who share a love for leggings and 90s hip-hop while both hating those who tip poorly.
Founder’s Vision
The founder of Hateful Hearts, Alex Monroe, expressed the desire to reintroduce fun into online dating. “The monotony has taken the joy out of the experience,” he noted. “We want to make it enjoyable again, just like real-life interactions.”
Only time will tell if Hateful Hearts will successfully foster connections based on mutual aversions. Still, I convinced my partner to give it a try for fun, and we discovered that we matched perfectly. After nearly a decade of rolling our eyes at the same annoyances, this app seems to be on the right path.
