Ugly and unattractive aren't the same thing.
The "without pictures" concept is fine, but why did you choose to model the user profile after a CV? What do you think are the benefits over, say, OKC's approach?

You don't get it. These are not the same thing. The difference, as others point out, is tone. One is far more formal than the other, and conveys a sense of stepping on eggshells. If the only way to discuss a concept is to first put on a suit and tie and pay prostrating deference to all who demand it (and demand it they will), then nobody will discuss it very much. This is how you win a game of censor-thy-neighbour wi…
The fact you keep doubling down even after it was pointed out that you aren’t following the site guidelines is a strong indication you probably need to take a break, before one of the mods makes it a mandatory break.
Also, dating sites should facilitate meeting, not pen-pals or “virtual” phony “relationships.”
Perhaps a more palatable way to approach this is to legitimately screen/curate each applicant and rate them honestly so that there’s less disappointment on blind matching.

Sharing browsing data of a dating site with a third-party should be considered a privacy issue.
Ah. That's probably why it doesn't load for me.

I applaud the attempt to innovate in the dating world which tends to be solely focused on looks. But sexual attraction is an important part of relationships, so going in blind is inherently risky (from a time utilization perspective). With old school blind dates, your date is friend/family selected so some level of filtering is already done for you. I guess a good portion of dates are disappointing anyway and there a…
The juxtaposition between dating and references.. doesn't work, at least to me. I can't imagine actually writing this about an ex. Especially, curious as to the circumstance in which this type of interaction would even occur. "Hey, sorry we didn't work out, now can you write a reference for my dating profile?"
