Testing the Hypothesis Part.2
• This first gentleman, college student, thought there was no way that a chick would use this, he immediately shut it down as having no use for it.
• Interviewed a lady, bartender, she mentioned that the idea sounds interesting but that she has no hope in dating apps, she also stated that nothing good would come out of it anyways from her prior experiences.
• This third interview was at the gym, another female, she said that her boyfriend wouldn’t think it is a good idea to have an app like that while dating even if it’s for deterrence of others.
• I interviewed the manager of Arby’s; He said that something like that would be considered a joke, at his age (40’s) if he even considered it, he feels he’d be looked at as a joke.
• Athlete-looking male at the gym, he said it sounds cool, however, he enjoys the moment when walking up to females even if it leads to nothing, he stated he could care less if she has a boyfriend, that she might still be “down” so the app information doesn’t mean anything.
What: I believe my opportunity belief dating app is different from anything out there available right now. Yet these folks feel otherwise and have every right to do so, it wasn’t built for them.
Why: These people are outside my boundary right now, that’s not permanent, in the future with growth and popularity, they will be back.
Inside the boundary
|
Outside the boundary
|
People who like, use, or have
used dating apps in the past or enjoy the idea. |
Folks with negative experiences
derived from dating applications, people who feel like their age is correlated with the methods they utilize for dating. |
The need is more information for
those who are interested in someone nearby them who don’t have the guts to go up to them without a little more intel. |
They find it creepy, are shy about
using it and/or uncomfortable with the situation. |
It exists because it’s rare, unique,
and humans for the most part let go opportunities because of fear of rejection, this would help diminish that. |
Being old school? Doing things
their way, stubbornness? A natural rejection to new things. Plain ole disinterest. |
The demographic is restricted, however there’s still a market for it, we should go forward with this opportunity.
Interestingly, I do not think this is a great dating app, but a really great business app. I think for dating, the eye contact range and added info may just seem like stalking and feel very weird to girls. But, for business to consumer or even business to business advertising, I think this could be a gold mine. Imagine im a consumer looking for something to eat but cant decide where. I go on to your app, put my search limit to a 1 mile radius and get a whole bunch of ads of menu prices and images of main dishes. Instead of having to google and do the research myself, all of it is there already. Dating just seems already too saturated and not too great of a market in my opinion. I would pursue the business aspect.
ReplyDeleteHi Luis,
ReplyDeleteIn today's day and age, I think a dating app would work just fine. Tinder, I feel like is one of the most popular apps amongst college aged kids because it makes it easier to connect with people and takes away that awkward first "hello" that our generation can't muster up the courage to say anymore. Like you said, I think these group of five people are off from the normal thought process of a dating app and I think a dating app would work.
