“I was skeptical. Then I met Marcus on the first date Magnetic sent me. That was four months ago. We’re going to Italy in the spring.”

The science of looking alike

Couples who stay together tend to look alike.

Studies in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (1987, 2006, 2020) find that long-term partners converge on facial similarity above chance, that perceived similarity predicts attraction at first sight, and that couples who started looking alike — really looking alike — were rated happier 25 years later. We took those papers seriously.

32measurements

extracted per face by Claude Vision — interocular distance, jaw angle, midface ratio, philtrum length, and 28 others.

7clusters

weighted independently. Eyes carry 22% of the score; jaw carries 18%. Tuned against 14 months of rating data.

0.78min similarity

cosine threshold below which we will not introduce two people. Roughly the 88th percentile of all candidate pairs.

20minute date

long enough to feel a person, short enough that nobody loses an evening. Hard timer. The room closes.

A note on biometrics

Your photo is stored securely and never shared.

Anonymous fingerprint.
Only an anonymous numerical fingerprint is used for matching — not your photo itself.
BIPA compliant.
Explicit biometric consent before any analysis. Disclosure on step 4 of onboarding.
Never sold or shared.
No data brokers. No model training. No third-party advertising.
Yours to delete.
Hard delete on request. We remove your photo and fingerprint the day you delete your account.
Stories from the beta

What our 4,128 members have been telling us.

I had three first dates in a year on the other apps. I had three first dates in three weeks on Magnetic. The third one is sitting next to me right now.

The score felt arbitrary until we met. Then I understood it. Something about Joel’s face had already been familiar before I saw it.

I missed two dates and got suspended for a week. Honestly? Fair. I was ghosting on purpose and the app caught me.

FAQ

Things people ask before they apply.

It surprised us too. The science is real and the effect is gentle — most matches don’t look like siblings, they look like they could plausibly be in a photograph together. If anything we get told the matches feel "easy" before they even say a word.

Skip the swipe. Meet for real.
