This Dating App Wants to Help You Find Drake, DJ Khaled, and Selena Gomez Lookalikes

Honestly, why date someone unless they vaguely resemble a person who's quite literally out of your league?

July 20, 2017

If your dating regimen includes the complete and total squelching of individuality, then we have good news. A dating app known for its focus on "bigger better safer" dating has introduced a new lookalikes feature, and it entails exactly what you think it does: typing in the names of famous people in hopes of finding the pedestrian version.

Bumble partner website Badoo has launched a feature that vows to scour its estimated 350 million users to find those who look most like any given celebrity, Billboardreported Wednesday. If celebrities aren't really your thing, I suppose you could also use the feature to find users who resemble people you know in real life. I promise no one will judge you.

And the whole thing works splendidly and there's not a single hiccup, right? Um, no. Not exactly. While it's admittedly not the least fun thing in the world to comb through so-called lookalikes, the results—as we probably should have expected—are often far from perfect.

But don't take our word for it, see for yourself. Badoo is letting prospective users give the feature a test drive. For example, here are the roughly 770 people their algorithm deems DJ Khaled-esque. You could also try searching for Beyoncé, Drake, Selena Gomez, Kanye West, Andy Dick, or any fucking person you want. Best of luck.

If you're looking for even more specificity in a dating app, there's a plethora of other options out there. Just be mindful of your emoji usage. Absolutely no one wants to respond to your dumbass messages rife with phallic eggplants and flexed biceps.
