Hater: Dating App for Shared Dislike

Discover connections based on mutual dislikes with Hater, an algorithm-driven dating app connecting like-minded individuals through shared annoyances.

What is Hater?

Hater is a dating app launched in 2017 that aims to match people based on their shared dislikes, rather than their common interests like most dating apps. The app's creators reasoned that bonding over mutually hated things could help foster connections just as much as shared passions.

Here's how Hater works: users are presented with over 3,000 topics ranging from airplane food and traffic jams to cargo shorts and live musicals. They swipe to dislike as many things as they want, and Hater uses this input to match them to other users who have said they hate the same topics. Some sample hated topics include slow walkers, Donald Trump, and Mondays.

Once matched with others based on shared disdains, Hater allows users to chat, meet up, and date. Its interface is very similar to popular apps like Tinder, allowing users to swipe left or right on profiles. However, profile photos are accompanied by each user's top hated topics, and users can filter potential matches by shared hated topics as well.

Since launching, Hater has facilitated over 2 million matches. Its creators see it as a fresh and funny new approach to online dating. By skipping the conventional dating question of “what do you like?,” Hater aims to allow singles to let loose about the things that irritate them and then find a partner who shares their lack of enthusiasm for those exact same things.
