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.

How 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:


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
"I'm vegan" (checkbox)
Binary filter → NicheWeight 0.10
Niche
Ethical vegan, 5yr, full lifestyle
Multi-dimensional → NicheWeight 0.91

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

Dietary alignment - vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian. How closely your dietary boundaries match, and whether mismatches are dealbreakers
Motivation overlap - ethical, environmental, health, spiritual. Shared motivation is a deeper compatibility signal than shared diet alone
Journey duration - how long you have been plant-based. Long-term vegans and recent converts often have different needs and patience levels
Lifestyle scope - does it extend beyond food? Clothing, cosmetics, household products, travel choices. Full-lifestyle vegans find each other here
Food culture - home cooking vs eating out, favourite cuisines, adventurous eater vs comfort food person, zero-waste kitchen priorities
Activism alignment - active protester, quiet advocate, or simply living the lifestyle? Your level of activism is a social compatibility signal
Dealbreaker boundaries - would you date a non-vegan? Share a kitchen? Cook separate meals? These boundaries shape real relationship compatibility

Your values are a dating profile

Except they actually mean something.

"You are both ethical vegans of 4+ years, you both extend veganism to clothing and cosmetics, your food culture overlaps 76% on home cooking and South Asian cuisine, and you both volunteer with local animal welfare organisations."

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.
