Dating/friend feature

I don't understand this function at all. It doesn't work for me. I can't look at the person's profile. I can't even read the first full sentence that they have written. I've tried looking on both ipad and an Android phone (the latter showing even less - nothing but the picture). Is there something else I need to do to be able to be able to actually use this? Just seeing a picture and a few interest keywords isn't enough.
