Design Thinking to meet people

When coming to the aspect of design theory we incorporate empathy, creativity and rationality to solve human centered problems, but it begs the question where to start. So, we thought what is a major issue in today's digital society that has escaped us. We came to the conclusion that it would be a friend that shares specific interests as you do.
One such example would be kayaking. It is not every day in Bozeman, Montana you run into an individual who kayaks so essentially the idea would be to create the medium to do so. The major issue we faced in the matter is how do you create a product that does not hold the individual by looks much like tinder is built.
While I am a slightly good looking individual my looks can still force individuals to not want to talk to me. So, when one checks their interests they are matched with other individuals who also have their interests as opposed to waiting for individuals to vary through all profiles and shoo out the ones they do not like the look of. The hope is that this medium would allow individuals to meet who would never have the opportunity in the start.
