There is a super app like this called Lex, but it’s for non-straight people only.

#183Close to two years ago, there was a show HN for a dating app posted here. I signed up, found a couple bugs, reported them, then deleted the app. Couple month later, I got an email saying that I got a match. Downloaded it again, had a very nice conversation, but I was not attracted. I went to the settings, selected 25 miles radius and Black only. The next match I got was not Black, and over a thousand miles. Now we ar…
In less than two years, you delayed several months and then connected with someone a thousand miles away and had two children? They must be twins. Literally, chronologically, must be.
He literally says in another comment in his profile that he's the father of twins.
Why would you even bother commenting this if you couldn't be bothered to do a CTRL F on his comments if you cared so much?
You must be lazy in real life. Literally, must be.

Kinda snarky way to show off those deductive skills Mr. Holmes

The faster you find a real partner, the less money the app makes. And the quicker its userbase shrinks.
Re: Show HN: Dating Site Without Pictures
#186Dating sites are female-driven, and females select primarily on looks, as has been shown on plenty-of-fish and tinder data analysis. So a dating sites without pictures would never work. I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think so.
> females select primarily on looks
Height and income seem to be important according to this okc study (based on millions of profiles):

#187> "References: He was really nice to me, and one of the nicest guys I've ever dated. We had some issues with his parents not liking me, that eventually caused us to break up. but otherwise I'm envious of the next person who gets to be with him!" The juxtaposition between dating and references.. doesn't work, at least to me. I can't imagine actually writing this about an ex. Especially, curious as to the circumstance…
It's very useful for non-monogamous people: you meet someone, have a good interaction, sex, etc. and write a good reference for them. The problem though is that there's an incentive to game the system.
Nobody does that.
I don't know what would feel worse, having to write reviews/reference of my one night stand for other guys, or having her write one about me for other girls.
Sounds more like an escorting service than a dating one. If a guy/gal is really great, you would be with him/her, or try to rekindle the relation ship.
Heck like this one that looks like it sounds great, "He was great, except for that one thing that I won't give detail about but was bad enough to stop me from wanting a relationship with him now or ever", that's not even a really good reference for dating, more like a huge red flag ...

Assuming word-of-mouth promotion doesn't do anything beneficial for the app makers.

I propose a paid service with a human operator who suggests matches and sends people on appropriate dates. You get one match, go on the date and report back how it went, and get a new match based on both of your feedback. "That person was a little crazy" -> get someone more boring next time. The date you get sent on is engaging and topical: a dance class or a tennis class or a guided tour in a museum, something that'…
We've gone full circle and reinvented the dating agency. If technology fulfils its original promises we would ideally be in a world where people didn't have "too little free time to meet people" and relationships would happen organically again.

The second two lines of your comment serve no purpose other than to inflame and belittle someone. It's worth considering if that's a useful or necessary part of the conversation.
