Blind dating has been a part of society forever, whether it was your best friend trying to hook you up with their gorgeous coworker or your college roommate looking for someone to take their brother out on a date Saturday night. Technically speaking, according to the dictionary definition, a blind date is arranged by a mutual acquaintance of both participants, whether that person is a friend of both persons or a family member of one. The two people who take part in the blind date have never met or seen each other, hence the phrase “blind date”. Looking at this definition says one thing to me, online dating is the new age version of blind dating… continue reading..
Imagine how clear in a few decades time the best dating apps will be: out of a complex algorithm of research, preference, and experience never need to waste your time or money on a bad first date. Imagine having a few personally selected matches, potential partners who have the same humor as you, share the same values, and fit into your life like they were always meant to be there. The option to meet up with someone, no matter their area code or time zone, through VR and other technologies. Continue Reading..
Online dating has been all the rage over the past decade, giving people immediate access to potential dates through their computers or handheld devices. In just a few seconds, you can swipe and match with someone you are attracted to. In the subsequent minutes, you can strike up a conversation and set up the first date. It is very simple and convenient. But even with this convenience, there is some element of blind dating that is associated with online dating, no matter the information you are presented with from out the gate.
Blind Dates
Blind dating has been a part of society forever, whether it was your best friend trying to hook you up with their gorgeous coworker or your college roommate looking for someone to take their brother out on a date Saturday night. Technically speaking, according to the dictionary definition, a blind date is arranged by a mutual acquaintance of both participants, whether that person is a friend of both persons or a family member of one. The two people who take part in the blind date have never met or seen each other, hence the phrase “blind date”. Looking at this definition says one thing to me, online dating is the new age version of blind dating.
What are the similarities between traditional blind dating and online dating? With both dating approaches, you are entering into an engagement with someone you have not physically met in person yet. In traditional blind dating, you may see a picture of your date prior to your encounter, similar to seeing pictures posted on a dating app profile. But in both cases, you are not actually seeing them until you meet at the venue of your date. With online dating, you are able to see recent pictures that the matching hand-selected to put them in the best light. With traditional blind dating, if you do get a chance to see them in a photo, your mutual acquaintance will search for the best pictures to make them look amazing for you. But regardless of either scenario, you wouldn’t really know what the person looks like until you’re able to lay your eyes on them in person, which further shows the similarities between blind dating and online dating.
Online Dating
Blind dating, as well as online dating, are very helpful ways for people who are not as confident, are introverted, or just don’t go out as often, a chance to meet someone they normally wouldn’t get the opportunity to. Dating is already hard as it is, so the expectation to go out and meet the love of your life is just added pressure, especially for people where it’s not in their nature to put themselves out there in a public setting. The bar scene is usually a rat race, where people are scrambling around intoxicated and looking to score with any man or woman they can see within arm’s length. For some, this is an ideal Friday or Saturday night, participating in the “chase.” For others, it gives them anxiety just thinking about it, they’d rather be home, be at the bar with friends not being bothered, or travel alone to get a drink and leave without any interruptions. The prospects of meeting someone out are not top of the list for people like this and they would rather try alternative avenues. Having the opportunity to meet someone through a dating application or have a friend facilitate the meet up makes things much easier. They can swipe from the comfort of their home or wait for one of their family members to set up a date for them with their attractive coworker they’ve been talking about. Either way, it saves them from having to be uncomfortable and trying to force themselves into situations they aren’t accustomed to.
Both approaches also bring a level of excitement and anxiousness to the daters. When you meet someone at a bar, work, church, etc. you know what to expect when you’re headed out for your date. Naturally, you may feel excited or anxious because of the unknown and eager to see how a night out with the person you hit it off with is just as great as you imagined after your first meeting. However, when on a blind date or online dating, you are anxious and excited for different reasons. You’re really hoping that you won’t be catfished and that the person you meet actually resembles their pictures or that the people trying to hook you up didn’t oversell the person’s attractiveness and they don’t meet your expectations. You are also excited to see if there is a spark in your initial meeting because it differs from just chatting online or talking over the phone. In both cases, online or blind dating, there is a fear of the unknown, as things developed inorganically and you haven’t met them in person prior to your date.
Dating Apps
Regardless of the way you meet someone, blind and online dating are very similar and great ways to find dates. With the emergence of online dating, it is only natural that more and more people are trying this alternative, making it more of a modern-day blind dating approach. Kaimzz wants to be at the forefront of the online dating industry, providing users with as much information about their potential matches prior to meeting up to ease tensions and nervousness.

Rather than taking one side or another, let’s talk about the reality of the matter. What are some of the implications of this law and how might their passing affect things like poverty, health issues, or crime? We’ll take a look at some statistics, history and some trends for answers. This won’t be an exhaustive list, but we will try to be as objective and fair as possible.

It seems that while the majority might decide to be more adamant about contraception or other means of limiting pregnancy, there would be a sharp increase in illegal activity surrounding abortion, from ‘back alley’ operations and a likely increase of maltreatment and care, as well as other options like abortifacient drugs. read more…

Finding love is a difficult but rewarding game. While large metropolitan cities boast higher numbers of people and more active dating app users, it is especially tricky trying to find that person while living in the big city compared to a quiet suburb. It’s like a fairytale to finally connect with that special person amidst the bustle of a sprawling metropolis and the best dating apps can be like a GPS that helps us find a connection.. continue reading..
Before you buy a car you check out the history and description, we always check a restaurant’s reviews before deciding where to order from, and you know you’ve taste-tested ice cream before buying a double scoop of something new.
Picture it: a new flavour that looks and sounds absolutely amazing, and after grabbing a sample with a bright grin say to the server “I want two scoops of that, please!” Then, after anticipation has built on your tastebuds from each added topping, finding the flavour shockingly different from the first spoonful; in fact, the entire cone had been replaced with something that tastes a little like dead fish and a lot like…pecans?
Now imagine not even getting a taste test but instead, having to make a choice based off of a photo and a short bio of your treat.
Would you buy it? And what if you didn’t like it, or worse it was something you were allergic to, how might you feel? If I find my friend buying something they don’t know for certain is what they’re looking for I would tell them.
The dream for many is to meet someone sweeter than ice cream on a dating app; someone special who you can enjoy a cone or cup with. With millions using online dating apps daily many have found that special one. But of course, while some find their special person, others might not get what you’re being sold.
Among complications in online dating apps, false advertising is very real. Sometimes it is a simple misunderstanding, and others an intentional deception. Some think “maybe I can find my friend love” and set up a false profile, but people hate being lied to, which should come as a surprise to no one. The reality is that some use online dating apps while being less than completely honest. Some get on a dating app the same way they would a game to play with heartstrings.
Sadly, this is a widespread and fairly common issue among dating app users, but when joining a dating app is as simple as grabbing a nice photo and filling out a few lines of text, it is hardly surprising… continue reading…

The Ancient Military Strategist Sun Tsu said ‘War was based on deception’ and we know “all is fair in love and war”. Unfortunately, some have embodied and fused these anecdotes in pretty awful way’s towards love, exaggerating in their bio’s and deceiving with their photos and going to the best dating apps yet bringing their worst.
“I’ll Find my friend Love”
Not only does this limitation of bio and photo make it easy to embellish a little and lie a lot, but it can also lead to one of the most dreaded words in all of online dating: Catfishing.
Even the best dating apps are full of stories of catfishing. A quick Youtube search reveals a problem that has existed as long as online dating apps have and affects even the most savvy.
Catfishing is what happens when a person is made to believe someone they are talking to online acts, lives or looks a way that is opposite of reality. It can be embarrassing and humiliating to be trapped in a web of lies, but can also be damaging or potentially harmful. Imagine how it might hurt to find my friend hurting? Imagine finding out the person you’ve been sharing your deepest thoughts with is not who they pretended to be? You finally meet them in person find entire chunks of who they painted themselves to be wholly missing?
The hurt and devastation lies wreak has shattered the strongest connections and severed our most sacred bonds. Relations built on lies cannot stand.
In the wild world of online dating apps, in order to stand above the rest, the best dating apps need to vett participants to block lies from being spread and prevent fake identities. Pictures may say a thousand words, but we humans aren’t as simple as a few thousand words. Profiles should be more dynamic than a rounded photo and a couple of hobbies and highlights. You should be able to open up and be vulnerable with someone to whom you’re connecting without any fear that they might be lying or catfishing you. You should be able to show who you truly are and see someone authentically, even on a dating app.
A confirmation system should be more than an email verification and a 500 x 500 jpg photo. Would you ever secure a jewelry store with a bike lock? A site that encourages and requires users to interact and present their true self would cut down on the noise: after all, you’re bringing your A-game, so should they.
The reality remains that enough singles looking for a connection have in their online dating apps a few bad apples spoiling things the good ones. That just shouldn’t be the case.
Kaimzz is committed to protecting you and your heart on it’s journey to find real love the same way I would find my friend love and you would look out for yours. The way to do that is to allow humans to authenticate themselves and truthfully show who they are.
You shouldn’t have to worry about free access being given to someone not being totally honest with you; you shouldn’t need to worry that someone is going to not authentically see you. Relation Matters and building quality relationships start with honesty as the foundation. True, deep and fulfilling love is built on something real. Hearts aren’t toys and relationships aren’t a game.
