The DuoDater Equation


Traditional online dating is somewhat ironic: it’s an attempt to connect with new people while keeping them completely disconnected from your actual social life. It’s isolating. With DuoDater, we’ve seen that people love going on the site, sharing Duos they find and talking about Read more

Double Tip of Our Hat to Ignighter

Posted on by Jared Posted in Site Reviews | Leave a comment

 

The DuoDater team would like to give TWO thumbs up to a kindred spirit: Ignighter.com. Ignighter has been helping make online dating social around the world, opening the door for sites like DuoDater to find our niche in the movement of young, adventurous singles turning to the web as a fun and highly effective frontier for discovering your city and exploring new relationships through dates. You could even say that Ignighter group dating is like a Wingman, which makes DuoDater obligated (as you should all know by now) to show them off in their best light. But not a false one! While Wedding Crashers is a funny movie, in real life those dudes would be creeps. So this is our truthful, humble homage.

We feel that Ignighter is playing an important role in setting the trend foryoung people to expand their social boundaries by using the vast and efficient online medium. It’s a shock when you leave school and find yourself without the extracurricular structure and social institutions embedded in the foundation of your educational establishment. Suddenly it takes work, effort and commitment just to see the friends that before you saw in class, at the library, and wandering in and out of your room at their leisure.

No longer are courses, intramural teams and clubs forcing you to meet new people who share a common interest or goal. Nope. Your social life is in your hands and your love life could take you or find you anywhere … and that’s scary. But it’s also REALLY exciting! Ignighter group dating says, hey, we may be out of college but we aren’t middle aged, and we want the thrill of meeting new people with the laid back attitude of a social event. Because we want online dating to be real life dating, not match making. You wouldn’t let your parents, your friends or anyone tell you who to date … so why an algorithm? And if we learned anything in high school science (did we?) it’s that nothing much happens in a vacuum … so add some forces (a super endearing nickname for your friends) to the mix and make some chemistry!

DuoDater gives a double tip of our hat to Ignighter for pioneering the young adult social dating future. We like to think that their users will find a new, unique and rewarding experience using our Double Date technique, allowing conversation to be more personal, the environment more intimate, and the dates easier to plan. So next time you meet somebody awesome on an Ignighter group date, ask him if he has aDuoDater account. Tell her you’ve got great Duo partners that would be perfect for her friends. Take the next step.
Props to Ignighter. Toast to the future.

5 Things Men Love To Hear

Posted on by Julie Posted in DuoDating Tips | Leave a comment
  1. “Will you help me with this?”: Men love to feel wanted. When you ask them to help with something, whether it be solving car troubles or problem with friends, they are ready and willing to step in and solve your problems.  It makes them feel powerful and dominant.
  2. “I love when you do that.”: A guy loves to know when he is doing something right. It is reassuring and makes him feel extremely confident. So next time a guy does something you really notice, make sure he knows you recognize the little things he does. There’s nothing sexier than confidence.
  3. “That looks great on you.”: Believe it or not, men put effort into how they look, too. Usually men are the ones to tell women how beautiful they look in a dress, but the road goes both ways. When a man actually takes the time to put together an outfit, there’s nothing better than having a woman notice.
  4. “You always know how to make me laugh.”: Men take a lot of pride in their sense of humor. The funny guy usually gets the girl, so knowing that he can make you laugh makes him feel very proud. A man that can put a smile on a woman’s face, even after the hardest of days, is every girl’s dream.
  5. “Do you want a massage?” Men love to be pampered too! They don’t often indulge in all the pampering that women do: facials, pedicures, massages, etc. So when a woman offers to give a man a massage, he gets to experience the relaxation of a spa day, without the nail painting and scented lotion.
