After Pair was released, I wanted try this "thumbkiss" thing to see what it was all about. The problem was I had no one to pair with. So I figured hey wouldn’t it be fun to create directory of singles to pair with, and so I created PairMixer over the weekend with my friend (bearwithclaws). I reversed engineered the Pair's private API so pairing is done "automagically".

What do you guys think?

Is that a real testimonial on the page? If not, I think you should take it down. Alternatively, the screenshot doesn't depict reality, it's highly unlikely that a woman will approach the guy in an online world.

No its not a real testimonial. Thanks for the heads up. It was left over from our designs. We've changed it.

When visiting the homepage, I didn't realize this was an additional service to an existing (and unrelated) iPhone app. I just saw the unrealistic (albeit funny) conversation on the iPhone and the (real?) testimonial next to it and left the site. It wasn't until I read your comment here that I realized what the site is all about.

So, I think the idea is great, but I also think your comment here does a better job at explaining what the site does than your actual homepage...

How are you going to address the problem of a bunch of men signing up for your app but almost no women?
