Dating for people who eat with intention
Your dietary choices are not a filter checkbox - they are a values system. How long you have been plant-based, why you made the switch, and how strictly you live it. That is compatibility data.
Try the demoHow it works for plant-based people
Answer the lifestyle questionnaire. We ask about your dietary journey, ethical motivations, lifestyle boundaries, and social preferences. Optional integrations with HappyCow or recipe platforms add depth. Nothing is shared raw - only signals.
The algorithm understands that plant-based identity exists in layers:
- Dietary level ranges from flexitarian to strict vegan, with nuance in between (pescatarian, vegetarian, mostly plant-based)
- Motivation matters: ethical, environmental, health, or a combination. Two ethical vegans have more in common than one ethical and one health-motivated
- Lifestyle scope extends beyond food: clothing, cosmetics, household products, activism involvement
- Duration is a signal: someone who has been vegan for 10 years and someone who started last month are in different places
Niche overlap > mainstream overlap
Both selecting "vegan" on Hinge? That tells you almost nothing about compatibility. Both being ethical vegan for 5+ years who avoids leather and actively volunteers at a sanctuary? That is a signal.
Mainstream dating apps treat veganism as a binary filter. Affinity Atlas treats it as a spectrum with depth, motivation, duration, and scope - because a plant-based bodybuilder and an animal rights activist have very different lifestyles despite the same dietary label.
What gets scored
Your values are a dating profile
Except they actually mean something.
Not "you're both vegan." The actual data.
The values, not the label
Existing vegan dating apps (Veggly, GreenSingles) use dietary preference as a binary filter. Affinity Atlas goes deeper. It understands that two vegans can be wildly incompatible if one is a health-focused gym-goer and the other is an environmental activist who runs a community garden. The label is the starting point. The algorithm finds the actual overlap underneath.
And because Affinity Atlas matches across all your interests simultaneously, your plant-based values are weighted alongside your music taste, your hobbies, and every other signal - giving you matches who share your values and your life.
