Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Here is an interesting article which tries to grapple with the ongoing mystery of whether like attracts like and if two misfits are better suited to each in terms of personality.

Two new websites have sprung up to bring people together with similar tastes, the first Cupidtino.com which is a take on the Apple website but not affiliated with them tries to bring together fans of Apple products into the dating scene. As expected a majority of the member base are Apple employees. The idea originated when the founder said that his girlfriend was pestering him for paying more attention to his gadgets over her.

The second site Tastebuds.fm is for music lovers and the concept behind this site is to bring relationships together with common musical interests.

Although, I would agree that having similar tastes in music or electronic gadgets can reinforce the relationships, I do not feel that we should put such paramount importance to them. I believe the sites developed so far are just another angle in the marketing campaigns to entice new members to join. If you were to examine the conversations taking place between the members of the site, I would imagine that couples would pretty quickly exhaust all possibilities of the topics of conversation in gadgets and music!
Now lets see “What was your name again?
