- korussian 15y agoAlso, I get the feeling the few women who appear signed up are not real. True/false?
- bearwithclaws 15y agoThey are very real.
- korussian 15y agoEven SexySamantha? "I'm a Professional Promotional Model from Toronto, Canada! I love to model, act, and dance! I am also a Fashion Designer and I create all kinds of fun costumes and outfits! ♥ ♥ www.SuperSweetAndSexy.ca ♥" If I were modding the site, I'd probably keep users like this away in the early stages, while there's just a handful of women signed-up. Later on, if there are thousands, then it's not as big a deal. (Not that I have any problem with her career or personal style, just that she seems to be on there purely for self-promotion)
- richerd 15y agoFalse. Everyone on the site is real.
- richerd 15y agoThe problem is that we launched on HackerNews which generally has a more Male audience. We are going to try to get more females on PairMixer though other channels.
- jey 15y agoNo, this is a problem intrinsic to the whole dating site/app genre. I'd suggest reading up on it if you're in this field. The biggest problem any straight person dating site has to figure out is how to get women on the site and keep them happy.
