Something you didn't mention but that I think could be another benefit of friending. If I (A) see someone's profile who I don't know (B), look through their friend list and see that we have a mutual friend (C), I can now message C, who can tell me if they think it would be a good fit and then play matchmaker for A and B. With an interconnected user base, there are probably lots of people who are two degrees of separation away, but you'd never think to reach out to C because you don't know that B and C know each other.
but you can just... do this already? with existing online social networks? I guess existing networks lack discoverability for profiles of people you don't know who are in theory up for dating you
another user and I are creating AI emulations of ourselves and putting them together to chat - if each user had a sufficiently advanced AI emulation, the manifold.love experience will be indistinguishable from magic - reply if you're interested in joining!
Is there any way to sign up for this without using my Google account? I don't use Google sign-in for other web sites in case I want to de-Google in the future.
Of course, I can see how for a dating site, using Google for sign-in provides a fairly good assurance that every account is an individual human being. Hopefully you can find an alternate way to meet that goal... It was a massive pain when I deleted Facebook and it broke the accounts I had been using it to log into, so I'm hoping to avoid repeating that with Google.

I agree, I have been looking at users with high similarity ratios to me and contacting them off the platform!

Thank you for creating the website! Is the list of 270 questions online anywhere?

Unfortunately not yet, something we hope to do in the future
Ok, consider this a feature request. :)
