Show HN: Compatipal – Find like-minded people nearby

Compatipal is a free platform to find friends, like-minded people and soulmates with just a few clicks.

Describe yourself with short attributes (tags), say "JustinBieber" and "Slipknot"... then find others with an interesting combination of tags in your proximity and contact them, or let others find you.

The coolest new feature IMO is the map, where you can actually see how people from around the the world share your interests.

The main problems I faced were: Where do you find people when you spend 95% of your time at home/work? And: I believe part of the reason, why I don't want to talk to just anybody I meet on the street is not because I'm an introvert, but rather because it's highly inefficient to talk to hundreds of people and spend hours of awkward conversation just to maybe find one that I can get along with.

If you want, you can enter your location and up to 4 tags, it's free. The vision is to someday find your true soulmate(s) with just a few clicks.

I mean, if you're lucky you'll find one BFF or maybe one soulmate during your lifetime. How awesome would it be if you found 5 or 10? Or 100?

Let me know what you think.
