The blind date is called “Blind date” in English. If the arranged marriage is a blind marriage, the blind date may be a “blind appointment” – you have a date with almost no mutual understanding.

In this era, “Blind date” is not only a blind date. It may also represent a netizen. It is not the kind of netizen who has known the chat software for more than a year. Instead, he looks at the other party’s photo information on the dating application and feels okay. Let’s meet and see each other and want to know more. Netizen.

This kind of dating certainly has a low failure rate. It is a waste of time and effort to meet offline when both parties lack understanding. In order to make your blind date and face more efficient, the dating app decided to help you provide a channel for you to “dating” online.

Dating apps that require a LinkedIn or Facebook account to log in. The League will be available in the next release Video Matching Service. The app will automatically pair based on people’s preferences and location. Everyone has three “dating” opportunities, and each appointment is a two-minute video call.

When the video “dating”, both parties will see a question from the app to help them break the deadlock and start communicating. In the process of communication, one person can always click on “❤️” to express his good feelings for another person. If the two have a good impression, they can formally match. Users who have successfully paired can continue to communicate privately for the next appointment.

But this will be a feature that is only available to some users, and only those from top schools who work in well-known companies will be eligible for testing. In China, the League’s speed-matching service may only be open to 985, 211 graduates and users with an annual salary of more than 150,000.

The League’s founder, Amanda Bradford, believes that this video-matching feature is what people can do in the tech Internet era, “the product that is closest to letting strangers know each other at bars and cocktail parties.”

Amanda Bradford also told New York Post, the feature is under testThe performance during the test period was excellent, and the possibility of users pairing with others through video matching was four times that of traditional profile pages, and the possibility of exchanging phone numbers was three times that of traditional data pairing. At the same time, users between the ages of 35 and 40 like this feature most, and Amanda thinks this may be because these people’s time is more valuable.

This feature is more popular in the most densely populated cities of the United States. Because it is no longer constrained by space, even if two people are on both sides of the city, they can get to know each other and make brief exchanges within two minutes. This method is more time-saving and more efficient than the previous one that might take an afternoon plus one night.

Of course, video chat may not be as solemn as a more ceremonial offline dating. But for those who want to meet new people, this can really save you time.

However, video chat has a greater risk, it is more uncontrollable, and there are more risks. Some people have previously sexually harassed or offended other users in video chats of other dating apps, but The League is not worried. When they tested the function of video pairing, the worst thing the team found was that people used bad lights when setting up a chat camera.

In the future, they may also use the API to limit the process of pornographic content appearing in video dating. But the founders believe that there is no need for this now, she believes their users, and also believe in their products.

In The League, anyone who is reported to have misconduct may be kicked out of the platform permanently. As a platform with strict restrictions on user qualifications, 70,000 people in New York are lining up to meet the requirements of The League, and there are 40,000 on the waiting list in Los Angeles.

The eligibility of the platform is not easy to obtain. Users who are “selected” will also cherish the chance of a date and show a good image to the date.

Maybe in a two-minute video pairing, you will have true love.
