TopG: gay community 與 Blind'a: Dating App for Anyone 使用情況與統計

Blind'a allows users to matchmake for their friends, modernizing blind dating. Blind'a is divided into two roles: the person playing matchmaker, called a seeker; and the single person, called a blinda. Everyone can participate and Blind'a allows the seekers to present their friends from their unique point of view. Friends know each other best and know exactly what to look for in a potential match. HOW IT WORKS - A seeker creates or edits a profile for their single friend - Once the profile is approved, the seeker can search for matches - If two seekers find a match for their blindas, then those two seekers are put into a chat - After talking, one seeker requests to connect a pair of blindas - If the other seeker agrees, then the two blindas are now put together in a chat ***The app is currently geo-restricted that the single blindas have to be located in Southern California, but their seekers can be located anywhere. Blind'a looks to solve several of the lingering issues with mainstream dating apps. The fact that connections are based on seekers vetting potential matches, leads to higher quality matches, and ones that are interested in relationships! People spend countless hours on dating apps with no results, so Blind'a at least helps to distribute the load amongst friends. Finally, the blindas will never feel any rejection because they only see the connections their seekers make them!
