OurLikes.com - Hate it or love it and find your match

Ourlikes.com is a fun site for singles, or those who are chained-but-still-looking, that matches people based on things they like. This sounds rather elementary, and the rest of the site matches that vibe. The main page displays females on one side and males on the other, and in the middle is an image. Ourlikers rate the image from "can't stand" to "love," and according to the users answer, the lists of female and male matches shift. Those who answered similarly are moved up and those with opposing responses shift down. The matches are represented by a profile picture, but most profiles lack a photo which makes it confusing to figure out who is who. To make it past the first few image tests site visitors must register and sign in. Once Ourlikers are signed in they can view the profiles of their matches and see what specifically they have in common. This is a good base to start a conversation, but a relationship might take more than two people who "can't stand" the TV show 24.

 
  In their own words  

"Ourlikes.com was founded on the belief that it shouldn't be that difficult to find people with similar interests. At Ourlikes.com, we allow people to rate specific images, which represent interests, such as books, brands, celebrities, food, general interests, magazines, movies, music, places, politics, sports, television, etc. These are items that describe our actual interests, and the best part is that our members can upload their own images, representing their true interests, so that others can rate those particular images. Our members, which we call Ourlikers, can view and rate these images on a scale of Love, Like, No Opinion, Not A Fan and Can't Stand. To rate these images, all you have to do is scroll over the images on the center of the Home page and rate them by making only one click! Since other Ourlikers will be rating these same images, you can go to any Ourlikers profile page and see what images you both have rated in common! The barrier of communication is now automatically lowered because you can see what things you both either love or can't stand and use that as the basis of the conversation!"

  Why it might be a killer  

Playing around on Ourlikes.com is like going back to that pre-high school time before relationships got messy when hormones and gossip took over. In middle school and elementary school all that mattered was that two people both liked to like glue and watch Barney. Ourlikes even has a mystery crush section for people who are too shy or embarrassed. It is a good place to meet people who like, hate, love, or have no opinion on things such as books, shows, music, people and brands.

  Some questions  

Where is this going? Is the point just to find people with things in common or is there the idea that a match can be made just based on likes and dislikes?
