“My only love sprung from my only hate!” doomed lover Juliet says in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

It may not have worked out great for Juliet, but a new dating app is built on the idea that the richest connections sprout from shared dislike, though hopefully avoiding the bloodshed.

Hater launched in February, and it presents users with topics like “wearing sunglasses inside,” “tipping less than 15 percent,” and “Tom Brady,” which they indicate whether they like, dislike, love, or hate. Then, the app matches folks with others who have similar antipathy.

“People are much more honest about the things they hate,” says Brendan Alper, founder and CEO of Hater. “This really gives you ammunition for an authentic conversation.” Plus, numerous studies back up the idea that people bond more over negative attitudes than positive ones.

Alper is a former Goldman Sachs employee turned comedy writer who is now dipping his feet in the ever-growing field of dating apps. Hater began as a comedy sketch idea, he says.

So far, about 350,000 people worldwide have downloaded the app, with 4,000 users in D.C., according to Hater. Of those District downloads, 55 percent are men and 45 percent are women. Most of them skew young—30 percent are 18-21, 30 percent are 22-25, and 20 percent are 26-29.

The information that Hater has gleaned so far lets the app compare the relative tastes in different cities, by comparing which percentage of people in D.C. hate a given topic versus the percentage of global users who feel that way.

So here is the list of what D.C. users hate more than everyone else, courtesy of Hater.
