Why would women who to the gym to exercise opt in to have their gym account made into a profile for an internal dating app?


Pre filter for physical fitness?


Maybe they are single and want to find romantic partners. Some women like to find partners who share common interests. Imagine you like to cycle and you like to find a romantic partner who also like to cycle. Wouldn't that be great?


This kind of makes sense, however I would wonder if that will make an incentive for creeps to get a membership just to approach women through the internal dating app.


That already happened, no?

Some men pretend to care about yoga and veganism just to approach women. You can see some memes about this phenomenon.

In this context, I assume the definition of a creep is someone who joins a group or an activity just to approach people romantically/sexually.

The problem is.... where should a man find a romantic partner without being a creep? By that definition, if he wants to join salsa class to find a girlfriend, he is already a creep.

The only appropriate place to find a girlfriend without being a creep is on Tinder or Bumblebee which have a slew of problems.

You heard someone giving advice that online dating is disaster and a man should find a girlfriend in social settings, like.... yoga class, salsa class.

So I try to mitigate this problem by building this dating app.


It can probably help reduce gender bias - sometimes people will judge the same actions differently based on the person's gender


The feeling I get from this page is that the branding seems a bit all over the place.

The acronym "pms" just reminds me of "pre menstrual syndrome", and "personal management system" is not a very memorable, original or catchy name.

The logo of the product looks a bit akward as it reminds of a car company logo, and doesnt really communicate anything related to a management system.

The page doesnt look very coherent, with cartoonish drawings, a unmatching color scheme, several typos, and a logo which doesnt fit with the general look neither.

I dont mean to tear down the page, but I hope this can help you to design it to give a better first impression.

Edit: typos


Hello,

Yeap I got this feeling about the logo as well, I was thinking about changing it, still might do. But the name remains :D

Thx.
