Did you know that dating app fatigue is a real thing?
Five years into the onslaught of dating apps, and that smile has truly been “swiped” off our faces…and probably more than once. We were excited, happy, young and of course naive…but did we really think dating apps would change the way we meet people forever?
Of course, the hook-up culture has flourished and for that, the dating app can be applauded! But the majority of people using a dating app are looking for something real and don’t want to waste time on anything more than a virtual pen-pal!
And the burn-out is real, hours spent every evening, robotically replying to somebody you may never even meet! Was tech not meant to made to make life easier?
Dating in the digital age.
When it comes to dating, nobody likes a game player. Yet the whole concept of swiping this way and that, does seem to encourage people to play…
And the gamification of datings apps doesn’t end there. You may as well go ahead and throw the dice…as most apps just bring random people together, with no set formula to improve the chances of creating matches that end up becoming long-term relationships.
For professionals who are more interested in genuine connections with like-minded people, there are very little dating apps to choose from. Mai Tai want to change that!
At 30 years plus, you haven’t gone through life without realising that you can’t judge a book by its’ cover. Yet this is clearly big news to the dating apps which are focused on providing an endless stream of new faces to be perused. However, at Mai Tai, we urge you to be less superficial and take time to discover the attributes that actually matter, such as personality and values.
We want to challenge ideas about romance and first dates and encourage people to meet face to face in a safe environment, good food guaranteed.
A Gap In The Market
Have you heard about these new online dating sites?
Jigtalk – Each time you message someone on the site a piece of the jigsaw is removed from their profile picture, so the more you talk the more them photo is revealed. Great if you are curious.
Clikd – Users create their own questions and to get a match you have to answer the questions correctly.
Coffee meets Bagel – You only get a small selection of potential matches each day so you spend less time swiping. Once a match is made you are connected with IM right away so no need to waste time with chat up lines.
Ok, we need to be clear about one thing, at Mai Tai we are premium dating site so very different to most of the new apps, we just think the purpose of tech needs a little tweaking. We understand that technology allows Londoners to enjoy dating in innovative ways, but we also appreciate that many online connections lead to zero connections in the real world…Human interactions shouldn’t suffer because of online dating sites, they should enhance organic ways of meeting people.
We use innovation and tech to bring people together. If people spend too long online and never meet up it means that it doesn’t offer a solution to modern dating. For us the aim isn’t to have the most sign-ups in a day or to have the latest algorithm, our core business focus is to bring like-minded people together on real dates.
#GetOnline2GetOffline
Do you remember speed dating? Ironically, possibly now the slowest form of dating in the modern world. And that’s part of the problem. Modern dating apps matches the way things work in society with everyone wanting things quickly, with minimal effort. That is not how finding your soul mate works…
We see Mai Tai Dating as a hybrid between online dating and matchmaking so that people can meet each other offline after we have spent the time finding the best match. Our secret is to add a little method to the dating app madness, basing matches on personality, values, backgrounds and a little intuition.
We put together a dating etiquette code that all members have to sign up to because the endless stories about bad dates and poor manners isn’t so funny when you are dating in your 40’s
Perspective from personal experiences
I have never liked online dating because it’s simply impossible to choose a partner just based on photos along with a fake profile. The process is also way too time-consuming for what you get out of it and you have to be committed to go online and search on a regular basis. It also switches your brain into that consumer format, shopping for a list of attributes. Where is the romance?
At Mai Tai we believe that real connections are made in person. This is why all levels of memberships will allow people to meet others who live in their local area and/or share similar interests.
Take a look at the problems that Mai Tai Dating solves:
Online Dating Safety: Current market problems in regards to safety, information protection, online abuse and scams are potentially very damaging issues for the industry. To register for the Mai Tai Connect service an ID check is done and members have the option to take a live photo. A reporting button will allow members to report any creepers on or after a blind date and members who have been reported three times can no longer be a member.
Online chat: Some online communication is good, but like all good things you can have too much which could ultimately skew expectations and sabotage a match. People tend to read too much into emails and other online conversations, which increases the potential for misunderstandings and disappointment. Our website will only allow a secure 24-hour maximum online messaging service, activated one hour before the blind date. We have also added a profanity filter to prevent sexting, scams and abuse.
Algorithms! Not really a romantic murmuring is it? Do you really think a computer algorithm is the best way to meet a potential match? Psychologists are very pessimistic that there could ever be in principle an algorithm that could match people. The best algorithm is your brain. All memberships allow people to meet each other in person and then make a decision about whether they will meet up again either as friends or romantically
