What if this is an app for women to find a relatively well off (replace with intelligent, etc) partner given that this app is, essentially, a filter that dictates level of income/job bracket (location dependent, but you get the idea).
- solardev 4y agoBut you can find smart people with acceptable incomes on any ol' dating app. People already allude to their professions all the time, and you can pretty easily suss out intelligence -- all that without narrowing your dating pool to "devs who for some reason aren't on the bigger dating sites". And if you're a hetero woman dev, chances are your network is already filled with hordes of eligible bachelors a degree or two away -- if you even want to date in that pool. I think that's the biggest "if" here... "devs" are not really a sexy stereotype in the way that date-an-athlete or date-a-doctor or date-a-rapper would be, I don't think. If anything, it probably hurts your chances. I certainly wouldn't go around throwing, "Hey babe, ever been with a dev?" Lol.
- planarhobbit 4y agoNormally I’d agree, but there’s a market for everything and everyone, and timing is key. There exists a market for this, especially for people coming from abroad who have preconceptions around what kind of a person they want to be with. Engineers, in this case, are a category that is filtered - in good and bad ways.
- solardev 4y agoAre you saying it's more like a sugar-daddy/mail-order bride arrangement?
- planarhobbit 4y agoNo, but there are websites for that, since that is a real market, shocking and funny though it may be.
