Welp, the cat’s out of the bag: you’re totally and unequivocally OVER dating apps.

Articles hit our newsfeed daily sharing the sad tale of how traditional dating apps struggle to keep up with the changing needs and preferences of modern singles. Worse yet? They say that savvy singles are increasingly unwilling to spend their time or money on something that doesn’t work. (The gall!)

Man, we’d be really worried if we were a traditional dating app. 😅

But if you’ve ever attended a Couple event or spent more than a few minutes reading about our mission, you know that we’re not losing any sleep. That’s because we specifically created this platform to be everything a traditional app is not. We’re 100% dedicated to creating real connections in real time with real people. And we make it really fun in the process.

Before we dive into what makes Couple stand out in a sea of unappetizing dating apps, let's take a closer look at the challenges plaguing the old-fashioned online dating industry.

Why dating apps aren’t working for us anymore

One of the most common complaints among dating-app users is the feeling of fatigue and frustration that comes with filling out endless profile forms, engaging in mindless swiping, and mucking your way through dirty DMing. The time and effort required to maintain multiple conversations and sort through potential matches can feel like a part-time job, leading many to question whether the payoff is worth the investment.

Safety concerns and bot burnout are other major issues facing traditional dating apps. From creeps to catfishing, from scams to serious harassment or harm, the online dating world can be a treacherous place. Many users just aren’t into meeting strangers online due to the potential dangers involved.

Furthermore, the impersonal nature of swiping and matching based on limited or downright fake profiles can lead to a lack of genuine connection. Without the opportunity to showcase their personality or engage in meaningful interactions, users often struggle to make matches let alone find real love.

So ... how is Couple online dating different?

Couple was created to tackle these challenges head-on. We offer a unique combo of features designed to foster authentic connections while prioritizing user safety and ensuring the best matching in the biz. In fact, we like to think we’re setting a new standard for online dating. Check it out:

One of the standout features of Couple.com is its live singles parties. These virtual events provide a fun, low-pressure environment for users to mingle and connect with potential matches in real-time. Group activities and icebreakers help singles showcase their personality and get to know others in a more organic way. And, like, the events only take an hour of your week! And you go straight to dates without a single swipe!

The parties are also made more fun by a variety of interactive games and entertainment. With trivia and live performances from musicians and comedians, it’s a curated experience truly meant to help you couple-up.

Next up (and nerd alert): Couple’s advanced AI-powered platform takes the guesswork out of matching by analyzing user behavior, preferences, and interactions to provide highly compatible recommendations. It might sound boring, but it’s actually super cool. Our matching engine goes beyond surface-level criteria and annoying profile forms because our AI considers factors like communication style, sense of humor, and shared values ... and it does it automatically. All you have to do is show up and have fun, and our AI learns who you are and who you would match well with by analyzing your interactions. You don’t have to spend hours filling out personality forms.

Couple also employs strict security measures and verification processes. Profiles are carefully reviewed to ensure authenticity, and the platform's community guidelines encourage respectful, genuine interactions. Plus, live video dates make it a lot harder for bots and catfishers to ruin your chance at romance (or worse). With these safeguards in place, users can explore new connections with confidence and peace of mind.

We could legit blab on and on about the many ways Couple crushes its competition in terms of overall experience and matching accuracy, but that would be gross. Instead, we encourage you to come to a Couple singles party and decide for yourself. If you’re ready to ditch dating apps and social media stalking, sign up for our next live event and then let us know what you think!
