Agreed. Why is there no Tinder/online dating equivalent for making new friends locally?
Instead of dating-specific qualifiers, it'd ask for your interests, hobbies, values, age and other demos, then match you based on overlap.
Not Meetup - it's not quite solving the same problem, and so it solves things differently (focusing on shared interests and on discrete meetup events).
- albntomat0 6y agoBumble has both a friends and business section. I've never used either, but I feel it likely suffers from "The problem with Tinder is that everyone on it thinks Tinder is a good idea" issue.
- godtoldmetodoit 6y agoMy wife met one of her best friends on Bumble BFF - it's the dating app but for friends.
- dpeck 6y agoBecause every time someone builds this it turns into a dating (charitably) app. If there is a way to find sexual partners in a medium, people will do so.
- baskire 6y agoThere is. Try bumble BFF. https://bumble.com/bff https://bumble.com/bff
- yoyonamite 6y agoI think there are enough ways to make friends and meet people that a general friend-making app just isn't a big enough need on its own.
- kirso 6y agoI believe lunchclub.ai is solving for it (raised from a16z) - very tech focused though.
