Easy dating app: instead of making profiles and 'matching', just organize a bunch of dances, hikes, etc in a community and charge a nominal fee for membership. This will likely lead to much better matches than some silly algorithm.

- dmitrygr 6y agoeventsandadventures are scum. please do not even give them clicks. Source (among many): https://www.complaintsboard.com/events-and-adventures-possible-scam-c383899 https://www.complaintsboard.com/events-and-adventures-possib... some examples: if you end up "not single" you cannot cancel your membership and are obligated to keep paying through the agreed term, BUT are not allowed to participate in any events as they are "for singles only".
- Rebelgecko 6y agoIf they were upfront about that, I actually think it's a good thing. One of the big conflicts of interests for dating apps is that if they're too effective it's bad for business. They have a vested interest in keeping you on the platform as long as possible, but with this sort of payment process the company isn't punished for you finding a relationship. The apps are particularly bad at this. Bumble in particular heavily promotes the profiles of people who are traveling. So when I go on vacation I get the dopamine hit of 10x more matches than usual, but with a decreased chance of actually forming a lasting connection. On the flip side when I'm not traveling probably 15% of the profiles I see are people at the nearest airport or flight attendants who live in other cities.
