I was reading a newspaper article discussing online web matchmaking. People are willing to pay 50 dollars a month for sites
eHarmony.com and 25 for
match.com. In fact, match.com has over 1 million registered users and at 25 dollars a month that works out to 25 million a month before expenses (and I don't think websites cost very much to run). That got me thinking of how I would solve the world's problem of lonely single people wanting to meet up with others and decided that the two biggest barriers facing single people are knowing who's available and the fear of a rejection. I believe I have come up with a viable solution for only a one time payment of $99.99 that solves both of those problems.
With the advancement of technology going at the rate it is, it will only take a few more years for wireless connection to be mainstream affordable. I think this fact makes what I am about to pitch a viable solution to love-searching individuals. It is a handheld device that holds a profile of you. You can either upload your picture and info at the store you buy it from, with the software included, or on the Internet. After that, be prepared to meet some major hunks and honeys. With the wireless connection, when you enter --- let's say --- 300 meters of another user with a similar device, their profile gets beamed to you. You'll see something similar to the picture above. Now all you do is simply click yes, no, or maybe. A maybe will save the other user into your database and effectively allows you to postpone a decision. A no would block that user's profile from ever showing up on your device again. A yes will
possibly send a message to the other user. Now, I say possibly because a yes message will only send if both users have selected yes, otherwise, no messages will be sent. This message can be anything from a phone number, to an email address, to a short text message. What this just effectively did was save the user from the embarrassment of a rejection. If the other person put no, they will never receive your yes message. For all they know, you could have put "no" also or "maybe" or never even received their profile at all (you can filter users by their profile; this could be an important tool for those people only looking for people interested in marriage, so they have a marriage filter).
Picture yourself at a bar, a social place with many singles, and many people with the device. You'll be bombarded with multiple profiles that you can quickly scroll through clicking yes', no's, or maybes. Every other single in the bar will also be bombarded with the same profiles and they too will get the options. Every yes you put is technically like you asking someone out without a fear of rejection. Suddenly all kinds of people are getting double yes' and being sent a preselected message like "look for me and buy me a drink," or "You like me? You really really like me?"
This works for all types of people. Let's say you're good looking, obviously you'll be more selective and maybe put yes for 1-2 people you really like. Chances are, if you're really that hot, they'll have put yes for you too. If you're ugly as a monkey, you'll obviously want to maximize your chances by clicking yes to everyone, you'll most likely get hooked up with another ugly who did the same thing. Wow!
This device makes and breaks it on the user base. It may be the greatest thing in the world, but it won't work if there's not enough singles buying it. A possible avenue is to pitch this idea to some company that already has a large user base. For example Nokia cell phone users. You could ask Nokia if they would like to integrate this software program into their phones. Nokia already has a large user base, wireless ability, full colour pictures, and text messaging. It would be a snap if they wanted to integrate this idea.
Imagine. Love for only $99.99. Oh --- and batteries are not included, but the machine runs on love! I hope you have alotta love to give.
