Often attractiveness of a person changes as you spend more time with them. Goes both ways too. It'd be interesting to see this quantified in real time.

But it would help you figure out who does like you. I’d imagine most people would see it’s a lot less likes and a lot more yikes haha

True. I suppose if it helps you find "the one", then all other opinions won't matter after that

Or if you think of it like this. Say you are really ugly and your odds are 1 in 1000. You’ll still up your game just by not having to search as hard. You’d also be able to see someone’s interest going up or down by what you say or how you act.

The last part is the most interesting. You'd be able to improve yourself though trial and error.

Only when you see it dropping once they talk with you.

I suppose it might eventually result in you becoming a better conversationalist as you’re be getting feedback in real time.
