Hinge, please add dietary filters to your dating app!


Hinge, please add dietary filters to your dating app!
The Issue
Hinge markets itself as the app designed to be deleted, the one built for real relationships. But it's missing a basic tool that millions of users need: the ability to filter matches by dietary restrictions.
We're calling on Hinge to introduce a dedicated dietary preference filter, with at least the following options:
- Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian — core lifestyle and ethical choices that affect every shared meal
- Gluten-free — for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, this isn't optional
- Halal & kosher — religious dietary requirements that shape where and what someone can eat
This isn't about being picky, it's about giving users the information they need to find a genuinely compatible partner. A first date at a steakhouse is not the right time to discover that someone is vegan. A relationship built on incompatible lifestyles starts at a disadvantage.
Other apps have begun recognizing this gap. Hinge has an opportunity to lead. Please add dietary filters — as a preference profile field, a filter in discovery settings, or both.
