"I've been treating Panshul for 18 months. His opening line on dates is always: 'So, how do you feel about gravity?' Most people think it's a metaphor. It's not. If you're reading this, bring a chair with load-bearing specifications. His last date's IKEA chair collapsed. It wasn't the chair's fault." — Dr. Meera Iyer's notes, shared with permission
Hinge's "Most Compatible" algorithm has been producing unusual results for Panshul: 47% of his matches are structural engineers, 23% are orthopaedic surgeons, 18% are bra designers (including one from Milan), and 12% are "other — requires manual review." Hinge VP of Product Rachel Kim leaked an internal memo: "The algorithm isn't broken; it's just uncomfortably accurate. It's detecting something in the profile data that maps to load-bearing professions. We're not going to fix it. The matches have higher conversation rates than average." Architect Meghna (SPA Delhi) is currently the longest-active match. She brought a laser level to their first date. Panshul brought his AIIMS report. They're discussing co-authoring a paper. ↗ Research

Note from Tinder CEO: "We've matched him with someone. She's an architect. She brought a laser level to the first date. We're cautiously optimistic. I've been personally tracking this account since the 500th report. This is the most investment I've ever put into a single user's love life." — Bernard Kim, CEO, Match Group
