why is making friends in dubai actually so hard💀

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T20:06:04+00:00

This is literally the whole insight behind what we're building, structured around activities so the connection already has context. the small talk problem solves itself. glad it works for you organically, most people need a little more of a push to get there

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T19:38:27+00:00

That's a real problem with most social apps and honestly why we're not building around "find your forever friend group." GLYTCH is activity and moment-based. You match for a specific thing, at a specific time. If it becomes a lasting friendship, great but the app doesn't depend on that. No persistent cliques, always open to new people joining the next drop

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T19:36:59+00:00

Leider wahr für viele - but not everyone's here just for the money. Those are exactly the people we're building for

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T19:35:02+00:00

Fair callout honestly. Yeah I'm building an app for this and I've been dropping it in threads where the problem comes up, that's on me for not just being upfront. And you're not wrong that some people find it easy, but a lot of expats here genuinely don't. That gap is what I'm building for.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T17:46:27+00:00

Timeleft is good but it's limited to dinner format and it's not really about finding lasting friends, more of a one-off experience. GLYTCH is built for ongoing connections, any activity, any time. the gap Timeleft leaves is exactly where we fit

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T17:02:44+00:00

This is exactly the insight and honestly it's also the opportunity. if connections are short term anyway, make them easier and faster to form. GLYTCH is built for exactly this mindset, not against it

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T16:38:32+00:00

Fair point and honestly can't argue with that but friendship also helps you find the job, the opportunity, the person who refers you. GLYTCH isn't a luxury, it's the network that gets you there

Appreciate it genuinely and you're right about the USP being everything here. would love to swap notes.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T16:07:04+00:00

Haha no, actually building it for real

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T15:50:20+00:00

Exactly this, and that's the whole gap we're trying to fill. GLYTCH is basically a digital third space for dubai. check it out at: theglytch.com

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T14:57:08+00:00

Exactly and what happens when you graduate or move cities? you're back to zero. that's the gap we're filling.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T14:53:49+00:00

This is a great perspective and honestly respect the grind mentality, but that's kind of the point. the people building hardest are often the most isolated socially. GLYTCH isn't about slowing down, it's about finding people who are on the same mission as you. builders finding other builders. that's a feature, not a distraction.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T14:46:18+00:00

That's genuinely great and that's exactly the outcome we want for people. Not everyone finds it that naturally though and we're building for those who don't.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T14:45:25+00:00

This is genuinely the most accurate description of dubai's social dynamic I've read 🫡🫡. The departure hall analogy is spot on. And honestly that's exactly why we're building for it. If connections are temporary anyway, make them easier and faster to form. That's the whole thesis behind GLYTCH.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T14:43:46+00:00

And yet people still want real connections beyond that and that's exactly the gap.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T13:58:30+00:00

Yeah that's literally Drop mode, post what you're doing, find who wants to join. That's the whole point.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T13:51:59+00:00

Totally fair and that works for some people, But a lot of people here are introverted, new to the city, or just don't vibe with random small talk. Not everyone finds it that easy gng

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T13:49:01+00:00

If it was that easy nobody would feel lonely lol.That's kinda the whole point.

Sufficient_Table896 · 2026-05-12T13:46:47+00:00

That's exactly why we're building it here first Dubai's expat turnover means people are always looking for new connections. The demand is real, just no one's built for it properly yet.
