# Ex-Seeking Dating Apps The Match.com Dating Website Will Find You Someone Who Resembles Your Ex By M | Published 2014-07-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dating-website References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2014/07/02/match-com-match-with-your-ex/) & [match](http://www.match.com/) If you're having trouble getting over a past lover, dating website Match.com recently teamed up with another [matchmaking website](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheers-dating-app) called Three Day Rule to offer those seeking love the chance to be paired up with someone who looks a lot like their ex. Using facial recognition software, Match.com now has the ability to offer its [dating clients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overtone-app) the chance to find someone who looks just like their ex if they seem to be having trouble getting a certain someone's face out of their mind. While finding someone who is different -- and hopefully more suited to you -- is probably the better option, if you're willing to fork out $5,000 and a picture of your ex Match.com will use its facial recognition software to pair you up with an individual who's a spitting image of your ex-lover. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Facial Recognition Dating:** The rise of facial recognition technology in dating apps provides opportunities for personalized matchmaking based on physical resemblance. - **Emotional Recovery Services:** The integration of emotional recovery services within dating platforms caters to individuals seeking support in moving on from past relationships. - **Personalized Matchmaking:** The demand for customized matchmaking experiences, such as finding a partner who resembles an ex, reveals a growing desire for tailored dating services. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Dating Apps:** Dating apps can use facial recognition technology to offer personalized matchmaking and emotional recovery services for users navigating post-breakup experiences. - **Technology:** The widespread use of facial recognition technology in dating apps highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the field of personalized matchmaking and emotional support services. - **Counseling and Relationships:** The integration of emotional recovery services within dating platforms presents fresh opportunities for the counseling and relationships industry to provide tailored support for individuals going through breakups. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Matchmakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-matchmaker.md) - [Breakup Navigating AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relationship-20.md) - [Social Media Dating Profiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/likelike.md) - [Celebrity Face Matchers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrity-twin.md) - [Bespoke Dating Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-million-matchmaking.md) - [Hybrid Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-we-first.md) - [Personality-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anxser.md) - [Professional-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-matchmaker.md) - [Breakup-Themed Donation Pop-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exboxes.md)
