What is the short answer?

Values-based matching should start with real examples from your life. A short list of nice words is not enough.

The public walkthrough asks what you make time for, what you protect, and what you keep choosing when life gets hard. You can edit the words and choose what stays private.

The Values Compass walkthrough stays in your browser. It does not profile you with AI.

Who is this for?

This guide is for adults who want a dating app to look past photos and short labels. It is also for people who want to understand and change how their values are shown.

What should a values tool show?

  • A short list of values that may fit.
  • The real-life examples behind each value.
  • A clear "not sure yet" state.
  • A way to change the words.
  • A way to keep an answer private.
Humanly Mutual rule:

A value is a clue for a conversation, not proof of a perfect match.

How should values shape a match?

The walkthrough uses lived examples and words you can edit. It does not give you a secret compatibility score.

Values can show where two people agree. They can also show where a talk may help. They should not create a secret score that says two people are right for each other.

That is why Humanly Mutual also asks about love, relationships, pace, privacy, and shared vision. One answer should never decide the whole match.

What should stay private?

In the walkthrough, you choose whether each value is private or shared.
