Dating /Matrimonial App spends /stats

Hello! I am 26y old currently living in Bengaluru, working in startups, fair compensation. I am looking to find a partner for the intention of marrying in around or less than 2 years of time. Have used Bumble and Hinge a lot, went to like 30+ dates in past 2 years, dated few girls but nothing serious came out of it - I think it’s the platform’s problem (anyways, there can be a separate debate for this) There are old platforms like Shaadi.com, jeevansathi and new platform like betterhalf. I am not very sure on how to go about it? Can anyone guide me on this???

Are these websites fooling people? Or anyone is getting matches and getting married through these apps. Are there fake profiles as well? And how to protect from scams. Thanks!

Hello viners, I am looking for idea of tech product to work upon. Don't have to be great idea but something to start with. I have capabilities to work on backend mostly but can handle frontend with ai. We can collaborate also by making it open source project. Please do suggest. Thanks

Most of the marriages around me are done through freelancing middle men who show matches.. I have only seen one couple getting married through marriage site and that too it was for second marriage.. till a level I can understand elite matrimonial sites but what about normal matrimonial sites... are people really getting married through marriage sites how many marriages are happening through sites.. how they are earning so much revenue through marriage sites?

It's the same story with so many platforms. They start off well, then start making it difficult for users over time to get matches. Eventually it becomes pay-to-match completely, especially for men. Is it really that difficult to run an honest matchmaking platform that actually does its job for a decent price or just ads? Has anyone tried starting their own or worked on platforms like these?

Saw an acquaintance using bumble. The men in profiles literally look highly successful, From IIT, IIM, NIFT , Founder and what not. It was really raining overqualified guys on the platform. Felt like real waste for the first time and thought that hot shot guys like them couldnt land a date, a commoner is out of question. What do you all say guys ???? That platform instantly makes me introspect where I failed in life.

I’m an smart looking guy working as a software professional. I've tried Tinder, Bumble, Happen, and Aisle, and even subscribed to two of them for a month, but I haven’t had any luck. I just keep swiping and swiping. Are the women on these apps actually interested in dating, or are many of them just looking to increase their Instagram followers? It seems like the standards are incredibly high, and many people aren’t clear about what they actually want. 😝

So on reddit there is a community called desi fragrance addicts. People post their queries regarding fragrances and buy based on other people's personal experiences. Due to that, there is a lot of trust over there. But House Of X has been exploiting that trust. They make an account and keep posting in every comment how their perfume brand blanko is good. Normally a person after seeing an advert,knows that they are exaggerating but if the review comes from a trusted one, they tend to believe it. This is what they have been exploiting. Adding a link below to the reddit post exposing the whole charade

I'm at that age where is tremendous pressure to get married. Can't even put in words the kind of torture I go through every day. I'm a woman. I have met people mostly through AM set up. I didn't click with anyone. I don't have faith that I'll be anyone compatible through AM route. Tried dating app, quickly realised it's not for me, the compatibility is even worse there. I go to events and such, didn't really meet anyone. Idk if it's just the Kannada culture, everyone is just so shy! I enjoy being by myself but would prefer being with a partner. I realise the importance of having a companion. At the same time, I also don't want to just get married to someone for the sake of it. So Bengalurians, especially Kannadigas, where did you meet your partner/SO/spouse? What is something I should be doing that I'm not doing? On the work front, I'm doing quite well. Looks wise too, I don't think I'm ugly.
