the video demo seems to use "archived" for old dates, but there's a missed opportunity here to mark them CLOSED/LOST
also need STALE and STILL-WARM

#82Isn't this just a spreadsheet? You could probably build and deploy the entire thing in a day in Notion
That wouldn’t scale though. ;)
Re: Salesforce, but for Dating
#83Dating has a large emotional aspect. Using heavyweight management software for this kind of thing is ridiculous. If you need CRM to remind yourself of the emotional impact you had on a date, then some part of this process has gone horribly wrong.
Honestly, this sounds like the gulf between men’s experience dating and women’s, and neurotypical vs neurodivergent. Some ND people like helpers like this; and, women get so many suitors that a system to help them may be actually beneficial.
Also, journaling is a powerful tool.

#84A good left-brained friend of mine was dating heavily in the late 2000s as he was in "wife finding mode". He had a spreadsheet -- called girls.xls -- where he kept track of important details about each woman he went on a date with. We were sitting around musing about how hard it must be to keep track of the key details given all the dates he was going on, and he let drop that he had a spreadsheet. He never showed it…
Of course he did.

So that's why the answer is 42 !

#86Pretty sure this is meant as a joke, but dating has become so twisted now that I'm not actually 100% sure. Which makes this perfect satire.
I have had a few people I know go on piles of dates, so I could see someone having a use for it if they are rapidly iterating through individuals.

#87Probably useful for straight girls more than guys tbh:
COUNT(ROWS(person.gender == Male and person.orientation == Straight)) == 0
Re: Salesforce, but for Dating
#88Can someone chime in why this hasn't worked in the past? It seems a personal/portable CRM could be highly useful. The second aspect is the vertical aspect (professional or "personal") One thing I keep hearing from people that have sold companies, exited etc. is that they are having a hard time operating within their networks without the CRM.
CRMs work at scale by selling to executives who are not the end users but are in control of budget. They then have their sales managers enforce data fidelity amongst the sales team who, to keep their jobs, are incentivized to make sure data in the CRM are up to date, or whatever the closest approximation to that is.
So for a personal CRM to work, you'd need to sort out, at minimum, the monetization piece and the data fidelity piece. If you open source it, you still need to make sure people keep the data up to date and that's actually pretty hard.

Now? I was running a CRM for tinder ten years ago. I assume at this point guys are using SDRs to qualify opportunities.

#90Earlier quoted context omitted.
Don't you have a pipeline with girls you're going to cold-call, and a dating life manager that breathes down your neck when you haven't taken at least 10 girls out this month?
I don't date girls. I only date women.
hah I love this comment - when I hear mid-30s men calling women "girls" I always cringe. Even worse when they actually call mid-20s women "girls" since they've never dated a women in her 30s..
