Here's What To Know About The Dating App Birdy.

 

In case you didn't know there's a dating app called Birdy that matches people according to their Myers-Briggs Personality Type. I tried it for a couple of days and this is what I learned.

How It Works

You can either take a quick test to find out what's your personality type or you can just select it if you are completely sure of your type.

I knew I was an INTJ but I still took the test and I wasn't wrong. This was my result.

In order to be matched, you need to create stories that show your personality. It basically matches you according to mutual interests.

The stories are like those in Snapchat. They have questionnaires and props that you can fill or you can upload your own pictures. Once you find a profile that interests you, you click on the heart and if it's a match, it will let you know and you will be able to see your match's picture.

My Experience

I only used it for a couple of days and even though I liked a few profiles, I didn't have any matches. 

Since it's still new, it's not very populated. At first, I was seeing profiles of people from all around the world and then later it started showing me people in my area, but very few.

There's also a chat feature for every type that changes every couple of hours. I got into one with ENFP's and most of the people in the chat were INTJs. Not a lot of discussion since the messages were limited.

Conclusion:

I think it's great that we finally have a dating app based on personality and not physical appearance. I like how innovative the app is as you can show some traits of your personality in creative ways. However, there's so much to improve. 

The app needs to be more populated and really make people fill up their stories. I am seeing profiles where people have literally nothing on their profiles or they only upload selfies which misses the whole point of the app.

Hopefully, it will be better once more people join and start getting matches.
