im surprised nobodys created a 'lowered expectations' dating app yet.
if you're deemed too good looking you are banned from the app.
if you have too many career aspirations you are banned from the app.
the only photos accepted are the ones on your drivers license or passport.
That’s hilarious. It’ll look like a collection of convicts trying to get laid.

I fucking love it.
It's a crime against humanity that you haven't already launched this.

LOL I haven't heard a lowered expectations reference for a minute, so many people don't know about that damn skit
I'm starting to think Hinge and FB Dating is exactly that, all these damn woofers that are messaging me, it's fucking too much.

So I guess I've finally reached the age where I need to start finding a partner or it looks bad for business LOL.
Got treated to dinner with a bunch of VIPs today and they were like "are you married?" "why not?" LOL
THIS IS the perfect timing. I always have a standard 2 questions and it gets you a bit of referral.
YES i'm still single...
a) I'm looking for a wife, it's not a meat marketing I can just pick at Save On Foods.
b) Do you know ANYONE, cause I'm open to dates. You would be surprised you do get hook ups.

Man i'm dating myself, this was from all the clips of LOWERED Expectations on Mad TV. Hilarious.
No word of a lie that skit saved me from disaster once, blind date with some girl and conversation going okay circled around to inaccurate profile photos and I made a joke by saying “Yah ‘Lowered expec-tay-shuns’” like the intro and he was like “what? Is that a show?” And I explain to her how it was this mad tv skit with ugly or undesirable people trying to date and she like SNAPPED “oh I guess you’re all about physical appearance and shallow shit like other guys is that it? Good to know” and she got up and stormed out hahahaha

I'm working on some mockups and wireframes. Will share sometime this weekend.

Project Title Lowered Expectations (working title)
Project Purpose Develop an inclusive, compatibility-first dating app designed for people who feel underserved by traditional appearance-driven dating platforms. The app will emphasize personality, values, humor, shared interests, and authentic connection over narrow physical attractiveness standards.
Background / Problem Statement Most dating apps rely heavily on photo-first, swipe-based interaction models that reinforce conventional beauty norms and encourage superficial decision-making. As a result, many users feel overlooked, judged, or discouraged. This project aims to create a platform where people can connect in a more respectful and meaningful way, without being defined primarily by appearance.
Project Objective Design, build, and launch a minimum viable product (MVP) for a dating app that:
Prioritizes compatibility over looks
Creates a more welcoming and less judgmental user experience
Supports authentic self-expression
Includes strong trust, safety, and moderation features
Validates market demand through pilot launch and user feedback
Scope
In Scope
Market and user research
Brand positioning and MVP strategy
Profile creation focused on personality, lifestyle, and values
Compatibility-based matching
Messaging and conversation prompts
Safety features including block, report, and moderation tools
MVP build, testing, and beta launch
Out of Scope
Video chat
Livestreaming
Advanced AI coaching features
Large-scale international rollout
Full premium subscription ecosystem at launch
Key Deliverables
One MVP dating application
User research summary and personas
Product requirements and feature definition
UX/UI wireframes and prototype
Moderation and community guidelines
Beta launch plan and KPI framework
Success Measures The project will be considered successful if the MVP:
Launches on time and within budget
Achieves strong onboarding and profile completion rates
Generates meaningful user engagement and match-to-conversation activity
Maintains a positive user satisfaction score
Demonstrates that users feel less judged and more comfortable being authentic
Maintains low rates of harassment through effective moderation controls
Key Risks
The name or concept may be perceived as mocking or stigmatizing
Users may hesitate to join due to fear of judgment
Harassment or trolling may target vulnerable users
Niche positioning may make early growth slower
User behavior may remain appearance-focused despite the product design
Risk Mitigation
Position the brand around inclusivity and authenticity
Use respectful, non-shaming language throughout the experience
Build strong trust and safety tools from day one
Emphasize profile prompts and compatibility signals over photos
Conduct pilot testing to refine messaging, design, and onboarding
Stakeholders

Pilot Users / Beta Testers
Respect and dignity for all users
Compatibility over appearance
Authenticity over performance
Safety by design
Inclusive and accessible experience
Humor without cruelty
Alright, sweet. Who is leading the development team? And will we perform any QA/BRT and any A/B testing on the UI/UX? (Edit: Looks like you've captured it!) Someone's going to need to figure out a GTM and operational strategy. I'm done with that shit. As for the product backlog, I'm nominating Mikoyan to handle it.
I can't really contribute any skills, I'm a datacenter hardware guy and can't program worth a shit... For something like that, you'd want to host on AWS or something anyways, no point having your own DC

That's a good idea, I'll go with that approach tonight. I'm hosting a high society event in Korea tonight at a private art gallery and the guest lists is all hot girls, celebs, and high class individuals. Maybe they'll pity a peasent like me.
