I am working on https://firedating.me - a dating site for FIRE (Financial Independence / Early Retirement) enthusiasts. One can also look for friends there. The stats are public: https://firedating.me/open The site is 100% free and even ad-free. It is my hobby project and I just enjoy helping others, meeting interesting people and learning while developing it. Looks like loneliness is widespread in the FIRE community…

You should absolutely submit this to /r/fire and /r/fatfire on Reddit. Finding a financially compatible partner is crucial for long term life success. Wishing you much success.

Thank you! I posted on r/leanfire, r/fatfire is on the list :) Unfortunately I wasn't able to reach out to r/fire moderators.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Gold digger heaven, here I come! Seriously cool idea, sounds like fun and it might be quite refreshing for the fire-folks to talk to like-minded people, it can be hard not to talk about your passion too much.

It is interesting that so many people think of gold diggers, but so far this haven't been a problem (there is a way to report users and the number of reports is very small). My impression is that FIRE folks are not that good of target. But I understand that this could become more of a problem when the site grows and I have couple ideas how I could tackle it then.

Maybe start with decoy profiles, too good to be true people, once the dms start you can decide what to do (freeze account et ) ;)
