Beeline (singles online dating)

Tired of endless unanswered messages? Totally over those awkward “hello’s” that go nowhere and ready to match with someone who really likes you back?

With Beeline, you are in control of who matches with you. Why trust an algorithm to pick your soulmate anyway? A computer can match two people with similar interests, but it can’t determine the why behind why they do what they do. Just because they both love Daredevil doesn’t necessarily mean they’re compatible.

We, on the other hand, constantly size up people and choose who we want to get to know. We spend our lives reading people. With Beeline, you get to keep reading people. You are the algorithm.

Sound too good to be true?

A game-proof mechanism ensures that if your guy chose you, he truly picked you over everyone else.

Here’s how: You’ll be shown two profiles side by side. We've distilled robust information on each person into an easy-to-read profile. You decide whom you you'd rather date: Artsy boy with a soft spot for vegan ice cream, or sexy geek who enjoys jazz shows? Over consecutive comparisons, you teach the app which guys you find most attractive. Repeatedly picking the same guy over others? He might just be your other pea in a pod.

And get this: Guys go through the same process. They also have to choose one girl over the others, so there can be only a handful of girls who keep winning. (Think no swiping right on every girl.) Only those with the strongest mutual attraction get matched.

At this point, you have both handpicked each other. It’s not just a swiped, casual like. You can send each other meaningful messages assured that there is high mutual interest.

Say goodbye to low-investment matches. Say hello to meaningful conversations and highest mutual attraction.


FAQ
Q: I find rating people demeaning.
A: We do, too! Beeline is not about rating people. You choose whom you’d rather meet based on the profiles you see. Do you prefer a snowboarder over a hobby gardener?

Q: What if I like both profiles?
A: The same profiles will come up in future match-ups. Taking all these match-ups together, the app will realize that you like them both very similarly.

Q: What if I select the wrong profile by mistake?
A: Don’t worry about it. The app will match-up the profiles against other profiles later. The wrong tap will be recognized as an anomaly. Simply keep comparing more profiles.

Q: This seems like a popularity contest.
A: Beeline only matches you with people who really like you back, which means you are free to be yourself. Enjoy a relaxing night in writing poetry and listening to Coltrane? Love being the life of the party? You may just find a special someone who is into that, too.

Another unique aspect of the app is “local peaks” in the distribution: Within certain subgroups different people win the popularity contest. Say if you are a skateboarding punk, you are likely attracted to people inside of that group. If you love hiking and nature, you are likely attracted to people inside of that group. Beeline helps you find your people.

Q: Why am I not getting matched with the people that I select?
A: With Beeline, we cut to the chase: you only get matched with people who really like you back.

Q: I don’t have anybody to compare!
A: Beeline is a brand new app with an innovative and superior approach, but enough users have to give us a chance to get this off the ground. If you don’t have anyone to match, it means you are the first person in your area. Help us out: tell your single friends about Beeline!

Q: How can I close my account?
A: This is a brand new app, and we are still adding more features. Please email thomas@playposse.com to close your account.
