Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match
Do you think you are a matchmaker? You can enjoy closenes as well.
First do a search on the website. Then on the result page, pick a result and click on "view as" link. From now on, you will see the world through the eyes of that user. Now, If you see a profile, it includes the comparison of personality traits of the selected users. So you can find him/her a match and introduce them, while listening to the matchmaker song from Fiddler on the roof movie:
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch...

What is BMI?
closenes is the first dating site that uses Body Mass Index (BMI) to classify body types (slim, average, overweight and etc) in a quantitative way. It is useful when you are looking for a partner of certain body type.
Some people prefer partners within certain range of physical characteristic. For example, a man, average build, 175 cm and 73 kg is looking for a woman, average build, 175-160 cm.
Usually dating site put height and weight among the search criteria. At first it looks fine, but it has a problem. If our man searches for a woman who is in the range of 175-160 cm and 48-70 kg, the search will return women with different body types, like a slim woman 175 cm, 49 kg or an overweight woman 160 cm, 70 kg. Now the big question: how can we just keep the results who have a certain body type?
This problem has a nice and elegant solution. We can use height and Body Mass Index (BMI) to perform a search. BMI is your mass in Kg divided by square of your height in meter. BMI represents body type regardless of height and weight:
So the man of our story first goes to his profile page where his BMI of 24 is already calculated, then he searches for a woman 175-160 cm and BMI between 23-25. The search engine takes care of the rests and returns people with the desired body type.
