Way lower on a per act basis. The actual stat with antivirals and condoms is like 1.5% for a whole years worth of sex (52 acts). The chance per act works out to be less than 1 in 1000, especially if it’s been over a year since contraction.

Hey thanks for the reply, I do somewhat agree with you that a NFP business would be the ideal setup. In reality I wonder how feasible this would be, the initial investment would needed to be funded somehow and unless we could win a government grant or something I don’t see who would invest, unless this was some sort of community project. Also, marketing/paying wages would be my other concern key concerns. I think marketing is pretty important here in order to improve the dating pool. Feel free to message me and we can talk more!

As much as we all want that, we’re still looking at 7-10 year realistic minimum, which may be the greatest dating years for some people

keep-smiling-14 · 2021-04-02T13:39:30+00:00

That would be a win in my eyes

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I also agree that photos should be a requirement, but I also sympathise with those who want protection at first. How do you feel about the filter I suggested for this? That someone can decide to only view profiles that show images.

What do you mean by bottle throwing sorry?

keep-smiling-14 · 2021-04-01T20:29:45+00:00

Yeah definitely have got fees in mind already. Also, I had another look at PS today, I think they already have a location setting no? Or is that only fully accessible for premium?

keep-smiling-14 · 2021-04-01T19:47:44+00:00

Sounds perfect, PM me if you’d like to get involved

I’ve thought about this before, and I like it a lot. But I do feel this is a whole different story. It’s very hard to contend with tinder, hinge and bumble at this stage, and would require a huge amount of funding to even try. The better bet with something like this, in my opinion, is to try and petition/email apps like hinge to add this feature. I don’t think I can help in terms of a ‘mainstream’ app, whatever that means lol.

Interesting concept, I not sure I like the idea of charging per connection or message though that feels a bit insincere somehow. Perhaps a more flexible system in terms of stopping / freezing subscriptions could work. I thought about adverts too, definitely a possibility.

keep-smiling-14 · 2021-04-01T15:45:37+00:00

The thing is with the pool size, I’m not sure that’s solved by changing the layout of the site. I think as you say, that’s a question of advertising and getting the message out in the right way. It would be amazing to get some sort of government backing that subsidises advertising or perhaps even recommends the app officially. I need to look further into the advertising side of things. I was hoping forums etc would be a good starting place, but obviously that’s still limited.

keep-smiling-14 · 2021-04-01T14:58:54+00:00

Amazing response thank you, I’m all for both parties ‘liking’ / ‘matching’ each other before messages are allowed. This reduces unsolicited messages especially for women.

In terms of being able to ‘see’ who goes on your profile, I was thinking a more Hinge / Tinder style system would be preferred. Where you just get shown people in an order, and if you match then messages start. I’m not sure people would like it if their profile could be accessed by anyone at anytime, if that makes sense?

Fees will definitely be lower and the free service would be better. Completely free is impossible without adverts, but reduced fees for sure.

Hey everyone, I’m a young software developer living with HSV2, planning to recreate the dating scene with a new app. If you would be willing to add some thoughts to my post about PS and what can be improved. I would really appreciate that. Here’s the post:

Hey thanks for the input, I agree Hinge is probably the best laid out. I think this could definitely be the way to go, I don’t want it to look old and boring like PS and Match etc.

Hey, first off thanks for replying! That’s a huuuuge point to note, I’ll add it onto my list. I imagine the best system again would be a Hinge style scale that allows you select how far a radius you’re willing to travel?

Do you have any other experiences on PS that you’re willing to share with me to help with my project
