If you had to pick a reality show to be on, what would it be? This was the question posed by a friend of mine not long ago. To us, a group of lonely singles sitting there pondering our fictitious foray into reality television, the obvious answer was “The Bacherlor/ette”.
The thought of having a line up of potential partners, vying for our attention and ready to actually go on a date, is a dream to us singles who feel like we’re withering away, endlessly swiping and chatting on dating apps and getting nowhere.
Enter Anyplans, the newest dating app on the scene that lets you have a taste of that experience (without having to subject yourself to the lights and cameras). You’re welcome.
Did you know that, on average, a user needs to swipe 1140 times to actually get a date on a “dating” app? As someone who would very much like to enjoy the nimble use of my swiping thumb well into my 90s, I say no more.
Anyplans fixes this broken model by putting plans before matches.
Let me explain how it works:
Imagine you’re free on Friday night and there’s a trendy new restaurant nearby that you’ve been wanting to try. Simply post a plan on Anyplans with the date idea and time. Local users can view your post, check out your profile, and if they want to join they can put their hand up and send a message. Even if they’re unavailable on Friday, they can follow you for future plans. It’s that simple.
Suddenly, you’re selecting from a group of interested potential suitors for date night on Friday. You can view their profiles, chat a bit and choose who you’d like to meet.
Say goodbye to all that time you used to pour into the painstaking process of conversing with matches who never had any intention of meeting up.
And while in the beginning we may have built the app to find ourselves future ex husbands, Anyplans has quickly evolved into a platform for making friends too. Ideal for solo travellers, busy professionals and anyone looking to expand their social circle, Anyplans is just what you need in your life.
So go on, try having your very own bachy moment with Anyplans, I dare you. Swipe less, meet more and enjoy meaningful connections doing things you love. Welcome to the future of dating and socialising.
