TIL: Algorithm is such an added benefit

I'm having an Idea for an open source marriage app. (Not a business) Its made for youth, of youth, by youth for GenZ, Millenials who are not interested in the traditional constructs of society and is looking outside. How many viners here can come together for this project. Think of it like "The Product Folks " community but for marriage. 1. KYC Should be done only by the boys/girls. No parents/nosy relatives interference whatsoever 2. Their likes and dislikes is hidden for others on the platform until the other gender initiates a conversation with them and accepts criterias mutually. 3. It will have a bunch of mutually compatibility check sessions with feedback form for each other. 4. No AI allowed on images on the platform. 5. Fees collected from the customers would be solely for the maintenance and upgrade of the app. 6. Equal or equivalent criteria for matching guys n girls. 7. Proposing app name as Utopic !!! Would love to know the opinions of other viners . @biryanienthu I read somewhere you worked on an idea on this space and would like to know your stance/opinions/other valuable inputs on this.

Hi Grapevine, I'm [Varun](https://www.linkedin.com/in/varunsud/), Founder at [Juleo](https://www.juleo.club/): The Trusted Singles Club. We are not a dating app, nor a matrimony app, but a Club of Govt ID verified Members who don't just match but meet fast! I'm here to chat with you about my journey in all things startup, consumer tech, marketing, product and Juleo! Ask me anything, I'll be back at 9 PM and begin answering! :)

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?

I've seen a bunch of posts over the last month asking for tips on optimising profiles on Tinder / Bumble / Hinge to get to date / casual relationships / serious engagements. Have people completely stopped relying on just walking up to people / meeting someone in person, asking them out and taking it from there? It's slow and requires effort but works better. Zero chance of being catfished. You can control the narrative and pace. Whats with being handicapped by the app?

Why do female founders and other budding LinkedIn female influencers post their personal pictures(gym photos, selfies, random photos of themselves) on LinkedIn? It’s a professional platform for fucks sake. You don’t post these photos on Leap Club but LinkedIn is okay because validation. And nobody calls them out. Men are lost in simp behaviour and others ignore them.

Hi Guys, I’m not sure if y’all remember but I’m the guy that posted about building a personal-care brand for Men. We’ve made a lot of progress and are planning to go live soon. In the meanwhile, we made a fun weekend project using AI that will review your dating app profile :) We genuinely believe that personal-care goes beyond using skincare/haircare products and this tool is just the extension of our belief. Attaching the link here, would love to have you guys try it out and share your feedback :) https://openinapp.link/sl035

Just curious, how did GV start acquiring users? What were your primary channels? What worked, what didn't? Trying to implement an idea in a different space, insights would help.

As a founder, what's your craziest dating story on Tinder/Bumble/Hinge etc. I've spoken to a lot of founders who get - Resumes in their DM's - Follow up messages for job applications (God knows how 🫠) - Enquiries for FT positions - Get subtle questions to know if they are hiring Is this a very common thing amongst founders?
