Abstract
Methods and systems for matching users include measuring a biometric state of a first user. The biometric state of the first user is matched to a set of biometric states of respective other users. The set of biometric states is limited in accordance with user preferences including how recently each biometric state was measured. A real-time connection is formed with a second user from the limited set of biometric states having a best match.
