Woman Creates ‘Man Catalog’ to Track Dating App Matches Across the Country

Caitlin Trask, 32, has developed a unique approach to dating by creating a ‘man catalog’ to analyze her matches on the dating app Hinge. Trask maintains a spreadsheet detailing information about the men she matches with, including their age, height, occupation, and personal interests. Inspired by a coworker’s successful long-distance dating experience, Trask sets her dating apps to different cities to identify potential compatible partners. She notes patterns in her data, such as consistently matching with tall men in Boston. Trask’s TikTok video showcasing her man catalog has gone viral, garnering over 530,000 views. Her goal is to use this data to determine which city has the highest concentration of compatible matches for her to explore further. (People)
