Okay after giving it time to establish and do its deep learning, Facebook Dating seems to optimize for class/educational achievement compatibility better than any other dating thing I’ve seen, which I guess makes sense given FB started as a Harvard Hot or Not and when I signed on it was largely about clarifying which of your Ivy League classmates were available. Flatteringly it seems to class me with girls with 2-3 year postgrad degrees from good schools, though it’s still in the process of realizing nursing degrees mean something different
