Flash Dating

@williamb3ntley I am rubbish at selfies, so this app wouldn't be for me!

@techtom10 alcohol isn't for everyone as well. Thanks for your input.

@techtom10 alcohol is always for everyone. Nice to see an app which is better at showing who people are. I've met people on Tinder who look nothing like themselves.

@techtom10 that's why we made it! Drop the word selfie, replace it with #Flashie or even a dating self portrait. Take a deep breath... How much better does that feel?

@lougreyvenstein It solves the problem with authenticity, which is big. I think there is great value there. Avoiding dates that were doomed from the start due to users not being fully real about who they are; saves time and money- which are both very hard to gain back. Adam Lichtl, former Head of Research over at SpaceX and the other co-founder has a rare ability to create complex machine learning algorithms to predict, well, in time, as close to perfect matches as possible... thats when we really add serious value and really differentiate ourselves... Imagine living in a city with a million+ online daters. Can you say swiping for days? I think YES. With his beautiful mind and passion for AI, we are ready for the next challenge, another hurdle online dating must tackle - how understand our users and what they are looking for better then themselves. The human mind is influenced by so much that is out of our control. But imagine a platform the learns and understands you and then links you to a group you should be very keen on and furthermore pushing users within that group who are also very keen on you, to the top! Online dating is growing and we have to innovate and evolve with it. Make sense?

@williamb3ntley I admire your passion. Your determination and perseverance to succeed will get you to your vision

@lgreyvenstei I was actually escorted out of my old office in NYC a few months back- I sat at my desk for 5 days straight. Probably didn't smell my best. I guess they thought I was at risk of dying. Ha- my determination at times kills me.

@denull Love your App, and thank you- Some reason I tend to date women who enjoy the company of another woman. I agree- but i think people who generally take selfies are a bit more comfortable with themselves, and maybe that creates a unique community. Don't want to say it... but you get where I am going with that ;)

@williamb3ntley @denull Absolutely true. Call it #Nofilter dating :D

@denull hahaha touché - you do get to see a set of uploaded photos as well when you click in from the real #nofilter selfie you took. So you get to cross examine 🤗 What's your Email @denull ?

@williamb3ntley Hahha! My email is dimo@3nderapp.com

@rickats no. On Blume- you have to take a new selfie everytime you begin a conversation. Annoying. On flash take one that last for up to two weeks. Once you take your selfie (active photo) you can them begin matching with singles nearby. Judge users on their up to day photo along with photos then can upload on their profile. It's just a simple layer of safety, without troubling the user to maximize an authentic online dating experience 😉

@williamb3ntley @rickats Incorrect. You can reuse selfies on Blume up to 5 times. :)

@danieldelouya where did you get five? Are you in SF? May be in the city on Tuesday

@danieldelouya at first your Active Photo only kept you active for 3 days 😂 - 2 weeks was a better call

@davesor There is more life or realness when users on Flash create their content via a selfie in order to attract someone. Showcasing their most up-to-date self and capturing some personality gives the photo more depth then one that is edited or professionally taken.

@williamb3ntley I agree, there's no need for users to switch completely and having both apps is no pain at all, in my opinion. What do you think of apps like Bumble?

@philipkuklis I think Bumble is a gimmick. I know whitney's story and her, so i see the why for their direction. I think it goes against the free flow of natural conversation and makes it one sided, taking away more then they gain. There is a lot to be said about how one approaches someone and how they open conversation. For better or worse, it gives one a better sense of who that person is, a 'first impression' if you will, and those are everything. Bumble takes this away, giving that ability to women only. I mean, thats why there is an unmatch and report feature :) Plus, had a fairly awkward experience on Bumble.. So..

@rueter ok Steven.

@rueter my apologies. Didn't realize only two words of what I wrote made it. A) I hear you with the logo, I do. I can be better. As for the colors- sure, but I genuinely love those colors and a heart is a very universal symbol for love- don't think we need to get too abstract, but appreciate the feedback. What niche was your dating app in? Shoot me an email @ wills@joinflash.com
