My last date told me about the site http://www.howaboutwe.com yesterday…
Very interesting site, its like OKCupid’s Locale (which is still in beta) but instead of the sudo hook up thing, its done much better and clearer about getting people connected around an event/date. The shared experience is the main point of the site. As it says its self,
“Put the date back in dating”
In actual fact, I found a previous date/friend who wants to go out for cocktails, so of course I registered my interest… 🙂
The weird part is where and how they make money?
It seems its free to ask for a date or to get people together but if you message one person it costs money.
Nope actually its more traditional than I first thought. You still have to pay to even reply to requests to be involved in a date/event. That sucks because now I got about 4 woman who would like to go somewhere and I can’t reply… Shame real shame.
So it really pays to play within their system and not try and talk directly with people. This also means its not exclusively for dating in the traditional sense… For example I could throw out the idea of meeting up to play werewolf in Manchester if I wanted to…
Intriguing business model indeed… and of course they have a iphone app (boring)
