So I read up on this. If FB Dating is almost a separate network (you have to opt-in) then what's the point?
Given the profile example, it seems hard to be somewhat pseudonymous... I could probably look that person up as a 2nd - 3rd order connection on FB or e.g. Linkedin.
Tinder used to require a connection with your Facebook account so that you could only use pictures that you've used in your profile-picture history on Facebook.
I thought it was brilliant because now all pictures have to at least pass the social proof of being one of your public profile pics. It's more trustworthy. Though they've since relaxed the requirement, probably because they didn't want to be so tied to Facebook.
It's true that you can often google/facebook search matches on dating sites. I have done that before just to get a better idea of who someone is. But that already exists.
But I think there is value in enforcing a Facebook profile linkage to a dating profile. It's hard to bullshit, and it's harder for someone to then waste your time.

I don't see a draw to this app.
