1. A method of interpreting user gestures received from a gesture based user interface of a mobile computing device, including:
providing a user interface for display on a screen of a mobile computing device that presents a top image of a first user in a series of images indicating an option to select the first user, wherein the series of images is presented as a stack of images;
receiving, from a user, input indicating a user engagement with the top image and a swiping of the top image in at least one of a first direction and a second direction, wherein swiping the top image in the first direction indicates selecting the first user and swiping the top image in the second direction indicates rejecting the first user, wherein the first and second directions are towards different sides of the screen;
determining a first attribute associated with a first profile of the first user, the first attribute indicating an activity option preferred by the first user, the activity option is determined based at least on the user engagement with the top image and the swiping of the top image;
determining that the swiping occurred in the first direction;
in response to determining that the swiping occurred in the first direction, selecting the first user;
in response to selecting the first user, placing the top image of the first user in a first collection of images;
displaying a subsequent image of a second user in the series of images;
receiving, from the user, a second input indicating a user engagement with the subsequent image and a swiping of the subsequent image in at least one of the first direction and the second direction;
determining that the swiping occurred in the second direction;
in response to determining that the swiping occurred in the second direction, rejecting the second user;
in response to rejecting the second user, placing the subsequent image of the second user in a second collection of images, the second collection of images comprising images of users that were rejected;
determining a second attribute associated with a profile of a new user;
determining that the second attribute corresponds to the first attribute; and
in response to determining that the second attribute corresponds to the first attribute, determining an image of the new user to be displayed on the screen based in part on selecting the first user, wherein selecting the first user represents a preference of the user.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium holding instructions that, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to implement a method of interpreting user gestures received from a gesture based user interface of a mobile computing device, including:
providing a user interface for display on a screen of a mobile computing device that presents a top image of a first user in a series of images indicating an option to select the first user, wherein the series of images is presented as a stack of images;
receiving, from a user, input indicating a user engagement with the top image and a swiping of the top image in at least one of a first direction and a second direction, wherein swiping the top image in the first direction indicates selecting the first user and swiping the top image in the second direction indicates rejecting the first user, wherein the first and second directions are towards different sides of the screen;
determining a first attribute associated with a first profile of the first user, the first attribute indicating an activity option preferred by the first user, the activity option is determined based at least on the user engagement with the top image and the swiping of the top image;
determining that the swiping occurred in the first direction;
in response to determining that the swiping occurred in the first direction, selecting the first user;
in response to selecting the first user, placing the top image of the first user in a first collection of images;
displaying a subsequent image of a second user in the series of images;
receiving, from the user, a second input indicating a user engagement with the subsequent image and a swiping of the subsequent image in at least one of the first direction and the second direction;
determining that the swiping occurred in the second direction;
in response to determining that the swiping occurred in the second direction, rejecting the second user;
in response to rejecting the second user, placing the subsequent image of the second user in a second collection of images, the second collection of images comprising images of users that were rejected;
determining a second attribute associated with a profile of a new user;
determining that the second attribute corresponds to the first attribute; and
in response to determining that the second attribute corresponds to the first attribute, determining an image of the new user to be displayed on the screen based in part on selecting the first user, wherein selecting the first user represents a preference of the user.
