Why hasn’t anyone thought about making dating apps seasonal? The problem with all dating apps, is that after a certain point they become a cesspool of the dissatisfied customers who never paired off.

Does anyone remember when Tinder first came out? It was lit. 12 months later, it was not. The season passed. It became a familiar place, with baggage, where all the cool people left.

Solution: make a seasonal dating app that starts in March, and continues until August/September a.k.a cuffing season. Then, close it down until the next year. Each year, or season, it can have a different theme. You purchase a subscription for the whole season, a half year membership.

It starts all over again next year, with a different theme. This keeps the experience fresh, and viral for new people to join. Solves the reverse network effect problem, by creating a new, temporary network effect. It also harnesses natural human seasonal mating cycles in an intuitive way, while keeping everything fresh. The six month break in development allows for new UI and ‘fresh’ experience, like a Fortnite season.

It reminds me of debutantes and the social season of yesteryear.

Though I still dislike any and all online dating
