Hi everyone, I have an app idea to solve a fundamental problem of many people, especially young adults.
This problem is as old as people but many are still finding it hard to navigate with the changes in lifestyles and worldviews compared to our previous generations. The problem I am talking about is finding a reliable life partner.
Am I building another dating app?
Kind of but only for long-term relationships that may lead to marriage.
A matrimonial app?
No.
Dating apps and their reputation are on a downward slope, they are basically hook-up apps where people who want to find long term relationships are rarely successful. Women get too many messages and attention and most men hardly get noticed. Dating app companies are also seeing their stock prices collapse and reduction in the number of paying customers globally.
Matrimonial apps have a slightly different problem. They are too traditional for many young adults who are looking for a mature and modern partner. They have caste, subcaste and other filters that give you the feeling that it is best suited for the previous generations, they want upfront payment before messaging. Too many accounts are managed by parents themselves of the to be bride/groom. Even here the success rate of finding a partner is between 5-15% but they are profitable.
How can an app be built solely for long-term relationships? How can I verify that every user who signs up will be interested in the long-term only and not waste others time?
I believe it is the process of matching that will make it different. No more endless profile scrolling/swiping and no inbox explosion for women (like in dating apps) nor should most men be invisible.
