The fact this guy can spit this BS about his app with a straight face is amazing.

[@princevegeta3806]

Okay so what do you think exactly about his brand?

[@pierrekircher8796]

Not sure what was brutally honest about this....? Nice message at the end but I see absolutely no correlation between the click-bait title and the message of the clip.

[@shehanigans]

THANK YOU!

[@jonr9574]

This is a public company they aren't going to be down to earth because they cannot be down to earth when goldman is involved. His replies are very generic, "growth phrased", "you can be vulnerable on our app"

[@lessmore444]

That she was willing to bail on a planned wedding would have been an absolute deal breaker. Who would trust somebody capable of that & think it a wise choice???

[@orsolyabende8101]

This is exactly what i thought of that story which is of course only a part of the podcast but still. 1 month before a planned wedding after a God knows how long relationship just because they chatted in a cafe for 7-8 hours after not meeting each other for 8 years. Sounds like clearly she was either in the wrong relationship and not realizing it till that point or this is how much people are worth to her. Plus the guy literally shitted into another pair's life. Not very nice to say the least.

[@lessmore444]

@@orsolyabende8101 Right!? If that’s the type of moral compass these dating apps help create, I’m glad I’ve never touched any of them. Sounds like everyone is just in it for themselves, what’s in it for me? How can you meet my expectations? What a minefield of self interested users, out there on the take.

Something told me the guy was looking for a boyfriend rather than a girlfriend.

The BRUTALLY Honest Truth About Dating Apps. The Hinge CEO is boring AF

[@Z_3D]

I met my husband in Hinge. I found the difference to be that there was more information about a person. I was looking for something specific and I found it. ❤

[@strikeforcealpha9343]

Yeah, but look at you, you're stunning, I'm not. Women, tend to get hundreds, if not thousands of hits, men, especially one's with body weight issues like me aka fat, maybe get one hit every six or seven months.

[@Z_3D]

@@strikeforcealpha9343 I feel and appreciate you. I was a fat kid and have had several phases of weight gain and loss. I just stepped off my climber cause I gained 10 lbs since marriage and am working on it at my own pace. But be real with yourself, look in the mirror realize your value and know what you deserve is on its way to you are ready to receive. Your self worth isnt validated by anyone but you and you could just meet someone outside the limitations of a device where your personality will be the forefront. Be well.

[@MrCruelStreak]

This story is kind of terrible 😂

[@Amatronix999]

Yes, this guy should not breed, he is clueless and greedy.

[@Bunny11344]

Lmao I got a bumble add before this video played. Any way, I met my bf of 3 years on pof. He’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met. As someone who’s healing from childhood wounds and trauma I couldn’t asked for a better partner. My coworkers and I all work in healthcare. They met their bfs and husbands off tinder and pof so I think dating apps do work, you just have to ignore the creeps and the red flag people.

Honestly I got lots of matches with beautiful girls, but the match is just one more hoop. Then they want you to carry the conversation, and look at it like you're auditioning for a date after matching them.​ i also found a lot of girls that were just serially addicting to hook ups . Had two dates which revealed they had more than 100 bodies, both were younger than 25. Its not the lack of matches, its also the quality of woman in dating apps vs real life. It attracts a certain type@timflelter5566

[@jackb1969]

I honestly I believe the opposite. Dating apps and social media gave men too many choices

[@janicetaylor5785]

Hinge could go in the direction of fostering friendships too. The research you've done could be really beneficial for all types of relationships. I had a thought that you could build optimum social groups, that'd be really interesting 🤔 Maybe it's only me but I think getting to know someone as friends is important, taking pressure off either person, allowing them to just get to know each other. Also that story is adorable 🥰 things happen for a reason

[@CM1202x]

That’s the approach I’m using now! Letting go of an outcome allows you to get to know someone well

The premise of the first question is the opposite to what i would expect. I would've thought if people remained single it would be a failure for the company and they would lose customers. How can they expect to gain more customers without a success rate? Makes no sense to me.

[@llundber]

Bleh 1. Turning away money but lives in a 300 sf apt. 2. All of the success he mentions were initiated IRL, including his own and the meetup parties 3. Hinge has terrible ratings when sorted by most recent, which leads to; 4. Apparently none of their big modification. innovations or total rebuilds were inspired in-house by his big team but by random interviews and external serendipity. 5. Hinge costs way too much, and apparently has a 2nd pay tier once it calculates your interest types. So the 20/80 rule is reinforced. Abysmal. 6. This clown was lucky they were at the beginnings of mad app development or it would be amongst the huge numbers of new, failed dating apps. 7. His own story of how (his own) apps DO NOT predict or mimic or find enduring matches, says it all. Just another mobile reason to avoid them altogether and be real again.

THE BRUTAL HONEST TRUTH ABOUT DATING APPS: is that for some people they actually work and some it doesn't. Stop baiting people ffs.

[@strikeforcealpha9343]

This all started during covid, because people were in lock down and couldn't go out to meet.

[@corrosion83]

I really hope that the person Deborah called off the wedding with was a shitty person, because in my opinion this guy definitely is. He went for what he thought was his love but in doing so he knowingly took this woman from someone she was promised to marry. If that guy was a good person then hinge guy did a really shitty thing to him and for that matter so did she. They had a life planned and in one conversation he took that future away. Why does loyalty seem so unimportant to people anymore? Fuck this dude with a cactus. He tries to justify it but it's not justifiable.

I thought it was a great interview. As an entrepreneur myself I always like to hear stories of other businesses. I’m shocked by how rude these comments are! I’m hoping these same bad attitudes don’t find their way onto whatever dating app I’m on. But I might give hinge a try!

[@gusevening4910]

Yeah, this guy’s gonna tell the truth. lol

[@Lee1517]

Wow that sounds ds like a romantic story but was it really. Let's see girls are good at reading between the lines. 1. She sees that he's a harvard graduate 2. He probably had the funds by the sounds of it to start a company 3. She could see that he's kn the verg of making a pot load of money 4. She knows that from their time together he's character 5. Wow what a coincidence that she wanted to marry him. 6. BTW apparently he'd asked to to something very important which she didn't live up to, but he still fell for her, when he clearly could have easily found someone of his standars. Case closed.

[@gordongekko2781]

The fatal flaw of all dating apps is that one gender is given all of the options and the other is given none. Women feel they can afford to be extremely picky so they shoot for the stars over and over again producing the same result. But they never consider a man on their own level who may be a great person and the ideal match for them.
