The Cinekin Blog

Matchmaking by Cinekin is a Taste-Based matchmaking service that uses movie ratings to predict interpersonal compatibility.

Here’s how we do it:

1) Movies are more than they seem.

Every movie has lots of stuff in it – images, sounds, plots, values, and character types.  Ultimately, every movie represents some aspect of the human condition.

2) Your ratings are an insight into your personal taste.

When you rate a movie, you’re actually putting a lot of thought into it.  You reduce a two-hour experience into a number that represents how much that movie resonates with your personal aesthetic.

3) Movie ratings are NOT random.

You might be surprised to hear it, but people are very consistent in rating the same movie the same number of stars, even years down the road.  This is important, because it means that the information in a movie rating isn’t just something out of the blue, but a reliable indicator of personal taste.

4) Cinekin creates a unique Taste Profile for every member.

Over enough ratings, and over enough movies, Cinekin creates an accurate representation of your personal taste called your “Taste Profile”.

5) Everyone’s represented in Taste Space.

Every Taste Profile can be represented by a point in a huge map of all possible tastes called “Taste Space”.  The closer the points, the more similar the Taste Profiles.

Taste-Based Matching leads to happy couples!!

People in happy, successful relationships are very close to each other in Taste Space; people in unhappy relationships are far apart.  Unlike every other dating service out there, Cinekin uses the science of Taste-Based Matching to find the best matches for you!
