Telegram bot for dating based on cinematic preferences

Image description

Most dating apps only allow you to see a photo and profile of a potential partner before making a dating decision. Everything else can be found out only by chatting with him, talking on the phone or on a real date. But you need to spend time on each such additional testing. In most cases, this time will be wasted simply because far from all people are compatible in character and psyche.

It would be great to have an extra option to filter the list of potential dating candidates so that you don’t waste so much time. And I offer you this possibility: if you know what kind of movies a stranger likes, then this gives you important additional information about its character, culture, sense of humor, and other tastes. Now it will be easier for you to make a decision: whether to start dating?

Moreover, the “Dating by Favorite Movies” application from the MegaPort bot will match you with potential contacts with lists of favorite movies matching yours. In the future, it will be easier for you to start a conversation on the first date, for example, by discussing the best moments from your favorite movies.

In general, the coincidence of cinematic preferences plays an important role in building relationships. Couples who watch TV shows and films together will experience a deeper connection through their shared immersion in fictional worlds, the study published in the "Journal of Social and Personal Relationships" reveals. I haven’t personally met stable couples in which the partners have different movie tastes and watch movies separately.

An important feature of this application is the possibility to create a user profile page in addition to the list of favorite movies. On this page, users can post additional information about themselves in any form: texts, photos, videos. This page will appear in the search results for every potential contact that the bot finds for you. And of course, the usual tools for dating services are available: filtering by gender, age and geolocation.

After you decide on the criteria, the bot selects potential contacts for you that meet the criteria you set. Then for each contact you make a decision whether it suits you or not. If the contact suits you, you approve of him, if contact approves of you in return, then the bot will give you the opportunity to write or talk to each other in a regular Telegram chat for users, and then you can communicate without the bot.

This is a brief description, but it’s actually a bit more complicated, but you can find all the details in the guide for this app.
