There are many sites struggling to gain traction in mobile aspects of dating, and the problem is likely that it's difficult to get a critical mass of users set up before using the feature is appealing.
Regardless, I'm not aware of anyone who has put all this together successfully. Dating (in many aspects, but surely online) has shown itself to be a tough nut to crack.
- steveodom 17y agoyes, this is the premise of http://ge.la.to http://ge.la.to. Wait until you see our recommendation/compatibility engine. It's going to be awesome.
- petesalty 17y agoYeah, I've looked at ge.la.to, and it's kind of similar with what I have in mind, although they don't really seem to do a lot of stream analysis (I could be wrong on this). You're completely right, it's a hard nut to crack, and gaining traction will be tricky, which is why I'd probably just start in a few major cities first, or maybe just go after one vertical - think JDate but maybe for the younger/tech crowd. Actually, I think that one of the big problems with dating businesses is that if you're doing a great job you actually loose customers. This may be why no one does a very good job of it.
