BUSINESS INSIDER - Some singles are swapping dating apps for "date-me docs," lengthy, detailed online profiles offering a deeper view into personal lives for potential matches. This trend, notable among the tech community, aims for more substantive connections than typical brief dating app bios. Users of date-me docs appreciate the format's freedom and depth, allowing for more expressive, nuanced portrayals of themselves. However, the approach remains niche, with challenges like a small user base and lack of standardization. The Date Me Directory, which 29-year-old Krouse started in 2022, now contains ~300 such documents from people around the world. They range from simple Google Docs to PowerPoint-style presentations to interactive web pages. They often include information about someone's age, profession, interests, values, and sexual orientation - as well as details about what they're looking for in a partner.
