The limitation is the same as eharmony's: the input is what you say you think and believe, not how you actually respond. People answer OkCupid questions with a combination of honest self-reflection and social desirability bias. The answers tell you something real about the person — but not the same thing as watching how they genuinely react to the world.

Questions capture stated values, not emotional resonance
OkCupid can match you with someone who agrees with everything you say you believe. This produces people who are compatible on paper and sometimes completely lacking in actual chemistry. Emotional resonance is not a function of shared opinions.
Attune captures what questions cannot
The involuntary facial response to content — what genuinely delights you, what bores you, what moves you — is not something you can answer in a questionnaire. It requires observation. This is what FACS-based emotion AI provides.
Both approaches beat pure swiping
OkCupid's question-based approach is substantially more likely to surface compatible matches than Tinder's pure photo swiping. Attune goes further, using involuntary emotional measurement rather than either photos or self-report.
OkCupid asked better questions. We skip the questions entirely.
Involuntary emotional response is a better signal than anything you can answer in a questionnaire. Launching UK Q3 2026.
