Given the fact that Codeforces users seem to be interested in dating other competitive programmers, I am planning to make a new service — TinderForces. We will match users according to rating/rating preferences(and maybe location unless you're okay with long distance relationships?).
Everybody seems to want a CP Boyfriend/Girlfriend, but there was a lot of conflicting advice in the comments of the posts (Example ). Do any of you have any suggestions?
In the mean time, I've created a short survey to test this out(TinderForces beta :p). Please fill it out if you're interested in being matched! (All questions are optional).
I hope you find your soulmate on tinderforces!
(Note that you have to be >=18 to use TinderForces)
That sounds like a really cool experiment, though I think we are going to run out of unmatched girls very quickly :)
I LOVE CODEFORCES!!!
I want to make a betting site for Codeforces blogs. You bet on whether the author is trolling or serious.
For this one, I honestly can't tell.
What are the odds that the betting site is a troll?
Can you explain how people will be matched together?
Another issue is that we don't have a way to input our own gender. Do you assume everyone filling out the form is straight?
Initially I thought that I'd assume that everyone's straight, but 90% of people who want a boyfriend are male, so I'm probably going to have to figure out a person's gender from their cf handle(I'll message them if I'm unsure)
That's a conditional probability and without male:female ratio it doesn't tell anything.
I've added several more choices for the last question so that people can include their gender
I think based on cf demographics GrindrForces would be a better name.
I hope they match me with a trap
Hey! The name was my idea! https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/84960#comment-725591
come on, idea isn't that original, he just come up with it too
Literally no girl in CS/CP would do this knowing the community -sincerely, Cs/CP girls
That's why the survey has the "Male (looking for a boyfriend)" answer to one of the questions:)

If you haven't joined the discord AC server yet.... Trust me, you have NO idea about the REAL community. XD
That’s kind of the point :) already seen enough from usaco and tmw server
I haven't really seen people being mean in CP discord servers. Everyone is cool and helpful. And I use a lot of reddit, so trust me. CP has one of the best communities out there.
Ah yes, the true pinnacles of CP discords

You should match make by coding style. Show a selected snippet of someone's code so others can swipe left or right on it based on how good the style looks to them.
that is pretty interesting.
Consequences of not considering this.

Update: I would really like to thank the codeforces community for their overwhelming support! We've got over 200 responses — we've already made our first few matches. Unfortunately, due to the large number of males looking for a girlfriend, if you're a guy and you're looking for a girlfriend, you'll have to wait.
However we've made numerous (male-male) matches. If you're male and you were looking for a boyfriend, you'll be messaged soon — look out for it!
Edit: I'm only allowed to message 2 distinct recipients a day, so this is going to take a while :(
Why do I only get to pick exclusively between a boyfriend and a girlfriend?
Please ask one more question in form,
"Have you recently been broke up"
and preferably keep this criteria too "Are you ok with recently broken boy/girl"

lonely sad noises :'')
for how long will this be availible?
