Hi!
Here's something I think it would be interesting although I've no idea on how hard to code or server intensive this would be.
It's a simple idea though: a block to be placed on the profile page, that would display the affinity value between the logged on member (viewing the profile) and the profile owner.

Hi -

I likewise think this would be a great additional to the affinity module.

I'm interested in creating a "content profile field" that would tell the viewing user how much affinity they have with the user in the profile (just as Ricardo suggested). I imagine it might just be a matter of putting some of the php code from the affinity module into a new customized content field, but not being a true geek, I have no idea what snippet of code that would be.

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

You can get this functionality creating a block with PHP code similar to this:

global $user;
$item = menu_get_item();
if ($item['path'] == 'user/%') {
  $account = $item['page_arguments'][0];
}
$output = '';
if ($user->uid != $account->uid) {
  module_load_include('module', 'affinity', 'affinity');
  $similarity = _affinity_user_similarity($user->uid, $account->uid);
  drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'affinity') .'/affinity_match.css', 'module', 'all', FALSE);
  $output = theme('affinity_match', $account, $similarity);
}
