Let's put this in the pile of online dating tools we didn't ask for: Match.com recently partnered with the matchmaking service Three Day Rule to match you with a guy who looks just like your ex...seriously.
The idea is that even though most of us say we'll never date someone like our ex again, we probably will, because a lot of us have types that we typically gravitate towards. That all makes sense, but do we really want someone who looks just like them? And how would they even do that?
For this premium service, users simply have to send Match pictures of their exes so they can find you his doppelganger using facial recognition technology. "People have a type and it's not necessarily about height or race or hair color, but a lot of it is about face shape," Talia Goldstein, the founder of Three Day Rule, told Mashable.com. Here's the catch: The service costs $5,000 for a six-month membership, which does give you access to a professional matchmaker as well.
We have to say, this is a little...creepy. Can you imagine what your ex would think if he knew you were sending pictures of him to a matchmaker so you could find someone just like him? Or could you imagine getting drinks with a guy who mainly asked you out because you look like the woman he used to date? It's a little weird, right?
Tell us: Do you have a type? Would you ever consider using this service, or is it just too creepy for you?
