Dating website where ladies get paid

Happy new year fellow HNers! This is my first Show HN... and it's a dating website. The crowd here is not my target market, so I'm not looking for SEO/traffic, but looking for feedbacks. Lots of it. I'm fully prepared that I'll get bashed due to the nature of my product. What: An online Indonesian dating website where the ladies get paid if their date sucks. That "paid" part is just a gimmick (the feature is not fully implemented) which seems to work. So far nobody questions the lack of implementation. If people do need it, I'll implement it. Why: I want to quit my job and "do startup" but I…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Happy new year fellow HNers! This is my first Show HN... and it's a dating website. The crowd here is not my target market, so I'm not looking for SEO/traffic, but looking for feedbacks. Lots of it. I'm fully prepared that I'll get bashed due to the nature of my product. What: An online Indonesian dating website where the ladies get paid if their date sucks. That "paid" part is just a gimmick (the feature is not fully implemented) which seems to work. So far nobody questions the lack of implementation. If people do need it, I'll implement it. Why: I want to quit my job and "do startup" but I don't have any good idea. Dating website is (saturated but still) easy to get traction. I also use this as a learning vehicle (Scala, CoffeeScript, AngularJS, Google App Engine). When: I'm doing this after hours and weekends. Where: http://www.ngajakjalan.com How: Most likely you don't want to create an account, so please login with demo/demo. It's a real account, so please don't send message to other members from there :) Stats so far: Landing page for 2 months, then 2 months running. 8k members, 85% male, 100k pageviews/month. Spending $10 daily for FB ads to get female members. Specific questions: I'm thinking of raising seed money so I can quit my job and work on this fulltime. Given my situation (single, employed, solo founder) and my website progress, (1) Is this a good idea? (2) What would it take to get me there? (3) If not good idea, what are the alternatives?

    I paid an engineer $4k to build a dating site2014 · ▲24

    http://www.percodate.com/ - DO NOT PAY FOR THE SITE. Use code HEYHN if you want to sign up. I've had some experience with website development, but I'm not technical whatsoever. So I went on craigslist (in Los Angeles) to look for an engineer to build a dating site. Luckily, I found someone amazing. We agreed on $4,000 in milestone payments and $6,000 in potential bonuses if the site does well. We recently launched the site and would love your feedback. I know the design is lacking, but any feedback would be appreciated!!

    new dating advice app – Crowdsource advice from the opposite sex2017 · ▲7

    My partner and I are developing an app at the moment which gives people the opportunity to crowdsource dating advice exclusively from people of the opposite sex. That is, women seek advice from men, and vice versa. The fundamental concept is to break down the barriers of communication between men and women and give people a more reliable source of advice than the usual channels such as friends - who can either be notoriously unreliable or sadly may not have the best intentions. People would post information anonymously about their situation by way of a short message and would also have the…

    Women Entrepreneurs Networking Site2012 · ▲15

    This past weekend at Startup Weekend MKE, a great team of people and I worked on a networking website that focuses on women entrepreneurs. The website is meant to serve as a way for women entrepreneurs to connect, get advice from others, and see events posted in their area. It is not exclusively for women, but the idea is to help decrease the gender gap in the startup community. Please check out our website and sign up if you are interested.(www.goconnectgrow.co) Abby
