why does no one reply to me on this app :(
Swooped in to see if these threads were still going. Just wanted to say I've been with the girl I met on Duo for over a year now, shit has been pretty cash.You can all make it bros, I believe.
>>34181164every time I receive an intro and reply their profile gets nuked. fuck my nothing ever happens duo life
>>34181455is your girlfriend a fed
>>34181164Idk how to tell some of you this in dms but you have a lazy eye and you should wear an eyepatch
>>34181164>Duolicious is a dating app for chuds and chudettes>has a strict word filterFalse advertising.
Got my first intro from an actually conventionally attractive girl. Can't wait for her to never answer my reply :D
>go on site>msg cute grill in my city>she doesnt wanna meet irl>doesnt reply when I say we can chat tooAwesome, I'm glad people who dont want to date go on a dating app, upload pictures of themselves and then reply to messages
so are you ever going to moderate this at all or are you going to simply let it become a bot infested hellhole like every other dating app
>>34181995If you don't want to see bots, ignore all the nonverified profiles.
>>34182033>2 hour old account, no age listed, 100x120 heavily edited photos>"goonette pls dominate me pls pls pls">passes all verificationthat's not stopping them moron
>>34182045How would you feel about me blocking VPNs? I'm starting to consider it because a lot of abuse (e.g. bots) comes from VPNs
>>34183234dew it
Can someone explain why I was able to message an intro to a girl, she responds and when I try to message her back it tells me "Verification is required to chat. Verification is free and takes just a few minutes. Press here to start." It never did this shit before what's going on here?
>>34183551pretty sure you need to be verified in order to interact with other verified profiles, so what probably happened is that she got her account verified mid convo, accidentally locking you out
>>34181164hello, will this application help me get a husband?i don't want to be a gaycel anymore.
>>34184004I'll be ur husband anon, I'm moving my stuff in tomorrow
>log in>its still bunch of 18 year olds 400 km away>log out in disappointment
>>34184014ha? but where will you move your stuff?? I'm also moving somewhere soon, so will you just wait for me there...
>>34184023Yeah just send me the new address and I'll camp out on the front lawn with all my stuff until you show up :3
Hey, it's me. Your dad. I'm very disappointment in you. Thanksgiving is cancelled.`
>>34184033sorry, but i think you are engaging in playful jest and you are not truly committed to marriage..
>>34181240>>34181270>>34181298>make a new thread when the old thread is still on page 8>nearly 24 hours later, the old thread is still cluttering up the catalogSee? This is why you're supposed to wait until page 10 to make a new thread.
>>34183411I'll think about it on the weekend. But I probably will>>34183551do you 'ave a loicense for that duolicious, m8??https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/protecting-children/age-checks-for-online-safety--what-you-need-to-know-as-a-userSorry, bongbro. Duodaddy doesn't want trouble with your gubmint>>34184436I'll keep that in mind for next time
Am I a bad person for dating a 17 year old that messaged me first? I'm 10 years older...
>>34185012
>>34185012Better obey your state/country laws.
I'm amazed how many people answer yes to "would you date a robot". Seriously a prophetic question, and a great indicator of who to stay far the fuck away from.
>>34185144t. speciesist/robophobe/Luddite
Am I a bad person for dating a 19 year old? I'm 10 years older
>>34185220yes, that 19 year old is a literal child fetus you sick fuck
>>34185144At the rate things are going I might just have to someday. Hoeflation is something else.
>>34185144everyone should have a human partner and robot partner at the same time
>>34185012Not bad if consensual but you should know well that she consents and check it twice
>>34185012A healthy, well adjusted teenager would not date someone your age. I would encourage them to seek some younger.There's no such thing as "harmless fun" so continuing any romantical relationship is doing them a disservice
>>34185144Men or female? Lot of loser men will gladly stay home to masturbate. Women answering the same would be disturbing
>>34185067It's legal here, we are saving ourselves for marriage anyways so doesn't apply.>>34185841see above>>34186726>A healthy, well adjusted teenager would not date someone your age. I would encourage them to seek some younger.I know and you're right. I've talked to her about the age gap a lot and she's fine with it it worries me more than her. I think we just have enough in common that it doesn't matter. I don't think I'd be a "disservice", it's complicated.
>>34187655>"am I a bad person">bunch of excuses why it's not wrong Why even askSeems like you're perfectly capable of doing the mental gymnastics to justify it on your own
>>34187655>I don't think I'd be a "disservice"No you are and the fact that you would say this proves it. You're not her friends since you're dating her and you by your own admission are worried about it.You making excuses sound like you're just trying to get into her panties when she should be finding someone more appropriate to have a committed, monogamous relationship with
met someone on duo last year around October 2024. met up before new years eve at a cosplay convention. we started dating in January 2025, we go on dates and I'm moving with him soon. :)

>>34186726Many women do prefer older guys. It's not like he's middle-aged or older.>>34187655All right, so you're fine, no need to even ask.
>>34188042>Many women do prefer older guys.By definition she's not even a woman
>>34187713Just trying to find someone to discuss this with and play devil's advocate>>34187825It's not like that. we both value commitment more than anything. I already deleted duo and will not be talking to other girls no matter what.
>>34188086He said it was legal. It's not like there's some big biological change that occurs on midnight the day you turn 18.
>>34188130But there's a considerable prefrontal cortex development between 17-22 which directly relates to things like emotional regulation.On that note, I'm around 30 and my cut off is 21, so it's not like the age gap is the issue here. It's her development
>>34188336She can develop just fine with him, as others have in the past.
>>34187655>I think we just have enough in common that it doesn't matter.i recently talked to a 43 year old guy who was saying the same thing about an 18 year old
>>34186726>>34187713>>34187825>>34188086 Seething toasties and or faggots
I've been following duo on and off since around late 2023. Has there been ANY success stories from duo? I just want to know before I waste my time and energy.

Imagine going to 4chan and moralfagging about the vibe of consent or whatever the fuck you people get mad about. Go back to twitter or kill yourselves good god (USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS POST)
Spyware website, don't bother.
>>34183411>>34189277I've rolled out VPN blocking. I don't think it's very effective desu. I expect sign-ups from bots to decrease by maybe 20%. The trouble is that it's hard to block IPv6 addresses. I can disable IPv6 altogether on the server but it breaks the the iOS app. Apple mandates IPv6 support for iOS apps.Among users in general, only about 0.7% users who are signing up or signing in should be blocked. Users who are already signed in won't be logged out for using a VPN.
>>34185144I genuinely thought it meant like an /r9k/ robot and answered affirmatively. It's over for me.
>>34185144I am a robot, it is entirely fine for me to date another robot.
>>34185144>>34190602That's what I thought too
Were any of you "banned" last night?If you were, it was a false alarm. Sorry. No accounts were really banned.
There was about a 30 minute window (see the orange line) where checking the app would have signed you out and told you that you were banned, even though your account was still there. That's because I configured Clouflare to be overly paranoid about incoming web traffic in response to a separate incident.
You'd think that dating apps for neets would have women that act differently than normie women on normie dating apps and you'd be wrong lol women are all the same
>>34193167Goes to show you the gender divide. Neet/disenfranchised men act differently because their circumstances shape their life. Neet women don't because being a woman overrides being a neet. Yea all women are the same at their core.
is this app worth it to use as a woman? i really just want a non-normie bf but i'm way of being doxxed
>>34194611You will probably get 100 adds but only a couple may suit you, I personally wouldn't put any personal info on it or photos, and save that for people you want to add on discord or anything like that
>>34194611Just make sure to verify your profile so other people don't think you're a bot.In order to verify your profile, you have to upload a photo, but that photo IS NOT made public.
>>34194630>>34194723got it, ty. is the gender ratio as bad as people make it out to be? i don't know any background on this app except for opening this thread sometimes
It's such a dead app. I really do think you should chuck it and start over with a new one. The data leak rightfully scared off a lot of people
>>34194844The gender ratio is public at all times right under the FAQ>What’s the gender ratio on Duolicious?> Right now the ratio of active men to women is 5.33:1.
>>34194915thanks!
>>34194872>The data leak rightfully scared off a lot of peopleI wonder why the same thing repeatedly happening with Tinder hasn't scared-off their usersThere's even Tinder scraping tools which are more popular than Duolicious itself
>>34194986Because channers care about their privacy/opsec more than normies do. Understand your userbase
>>34194991It's true. Not marketing to turbo autists would've saved a lot of trouble
someone scambait the jeet larping as this Russian girl please
>>34193167Mmm... Nah, they are actually different. Like real femcels (yes they exist) are not like normie women, they are more like... incels (if they don't have a lot of online attention ofc, and some don't), same desperation towards average looking guy with more or less stable life. Now I even understand some women and why they don't give a shit about you, when I was also desperate about them
>>34195727>same desperation towards average looking guy with more or less stable life.2 years of various dating apps and thousands of profiles leads me to believe that the majority of the female user base lacks any sort of drive to find a relationship.For example I am really selective in terms of who I like or text, but I also want kids before I'm too old. The goal gets me to make compromises and continue to go through with this garbage.Based on what I have read from women's profiles and how they seem to behave on the platforms, I don't see any similar drive to find someone, be it for kids or something else.Impressible to say what really goes on inside their heads, but the impression I get from being an observe and what I talk to women, be it here or IRL is that they don't seem to be concerned of dying alone.Regret might settle in later in their 40s and 50s but then they will suffer in silence since absolutely nobody cares about old spinsters or their feelings
>>34181164met my boyfriend and best friend on duolicious thank you duodaddy
>>34195727I'm so sick of the blackpill shit. Does not not get exhausting
>>34196964Does that not*
>>34196964Facing reality can be exhausting. It would be easier to be sub 90 iq and not think about it
>>34197277then why bother at all? if it's all doom and gloom why go out of your way to engage with this topic at all if it's hopeless? go stay in your hopeless corner and leave us alone
>>34181164I keep getting email notifications that I got a new message but then I log on and nothings there. Wish I could still view a message or convo regardless of whether they were banned or skipped me or whatever happened.
>>34197282Its really just persistence through spite at this point.
>>34197291>Wish I could still view a message or convo regardless of whether they were banned or skipped me or whatever happened.You can. They'd be in your archive in that case. If they're not there, try this:1. Log out of Duolicious2. Log into Duolicious using the email address which got the notifications
>>34197371Truth nuke
>>34197371then perish
>>34197815sure come do it, post your discord
>>34197830Well, I'm glad we settled our disagreement by jerking off on video chat together. Hope we do it again. Thanks bro.
>>34198447gross, didn't happen. he didn't even add me back
>>34198470It's 2025. No one cares that we're gay. We don't have to hide it.
>>34198489Ohhh you're taunting me to try to say I'm a girl so you'll add me. Got it. In that case, go fuck yourself you cowardly literal faggot
old screenshot but i do not miss having a duo account
>>34201812why are you here
>>34202107bc im thinking about making a new one now that my ex and i broke up a little ago lol
>>34202112used goods
>>34181164What did you mean by this?
>>34203603
Sup, this account is most likely a scammer and gave me some sob story before asking for money.https://web.duolicious.app/profile/6d91e58b-8bec-4fec-a20a-cfb44dfc9fc1
>>34203592
>>34201812The things you complain about most men would love to have happen to them. If your gender contains the letter F then you have the privilege, and burden, of being the target of men's desires. Now while that was a very crass message lacking tact and self-sabotaging his intent to connect, if a woman sent a message to a man that she touched her cooze to his pics he would be ecstatic.When it comes to online dating the dynamics at play simply result in women drowning in attention while most men are starving for it. That doesn't excuse their dysfunctional behavior, but it explains it. To get upset over it and blame all men is like hating water for being wet when that is simply its nature. Everything humans do is because of our nature and there's a male loneliness epidemic driving desperate and dysfunctional behaviors because social isolation is disruptive to a person's well-being and mental function.So complain all you want, but nothing is going to change the facts. Be glad you get to decide at your discretion to have your attention and touch needs fulfilled basically anytime you want.
>>34186726>There's no such thing as "harmless fun"This is not factual. It is entirely subjective and anecdotal. News flash, people in non-age gap relationships have all the same type of problems that age-gap relationships can have. And while people just love to talk shit about it online, I can tell you from personal experience that irl nobody gives a flying fuck and they just mind their own business. Now of course people in their circle of family and friends might have concerns or dissenting opinions, but again that's something non-age gap relationships experience as well.The reality is that the argument against age-gap relationships is based entirely on moral relativism. The 25 years of age pre-frontal cortex argument is just another tactic to undermine the autonomy of young women to make mistakes in order reinforce women's privilege of being able to avoid accountability by shifting the blame onto men for simply doing what is in our nature. Radfem misandrists would rather men suffer than women be held accountable for their role in the gender war.
>>34204127>if a woman sent a message to a man that she touched her cooze to his pics he would be ecstatic.If she was unattractive I'd be grossed out and if she was pretty I'd assume she was either dangerously mentally ill or a scammer.
>>34204127>>34204182idk i'm a guy who has gotten messages like that right away from girls and i didn't like it that much. i do like it if we've been talking for a while about other things and are getting along. >nature>nature>natureyou're reminding me of someone i talked to a while ago who kept discussing nature and age gaps and social issues. he was an actual pedophile trying to explain how fucking a very young girl would solve all of his problems. it's repulsive and predatory. it feels like someone dysfunctional who thinks entrapping someone who would have a harder time getting away from them is the solution instead of self improvement. and people like this always seem to conveniently ignore when "nature" goes against them.
>>34204127>To get upset over it and blame all menalso this was a weird thing to say because they didn't do that
they just aren't even trying anymore
>>34204182You most definitely belong in this containment box of loneliness. Thank God you'll die alone. Saves some poor father the prison sentence for doing the right thing
>>34204343okay cool your ad hominem attack only proves your inability to argue facts. it's cute watching you rub your two brain cells together long enough to almost create a spark, but you'll never hold a candle to fusion fucking reactor contained within my cranium
>>34204252generalizations were made, there are always outliers
>>34204635lmfao you're adorablei have two kids from two different women and a body count of about 30 and a coffee date with a women 17 years my junior next week and about two dozen thirsty milfs in my facebook dating dm's. sadly i've been banned from tinder, bumble, and reddit for being a bit of a lunatic, but i digressi've fucked bitches from reddit, tinder, bumble, seeking, 4chan, irl, and even got a stripper to fuck me without having to pay for it. i think my favorites are the tiny little tattooed blonde ex-stripper (different from the other stripper mentioned) from seeking who was into ddlg with a pussy so tight it was one finger snug and she was a squirter. the second favorite was the wannabe lesbo from reddit who drove 90 minutes to meet me which turned into an all day and night dom session in which i dragged her by her hair into the tub and pissed on heri've obliviously passed on more pussy than some of you will get in your whole life and it's for 2 simple reasons... rule #1 and rule #2even as an old fat fuck i still rizz bitches because i got game and still got a bit
>>34205335ewwwwwwww trashy as hellyou just know this guy has had every STD known to man. disgusting
>>34205335as a somewhat autistic guy who is moderately good looking, very active, and just trying to find the one. Assuming everything that he said is true, those are words of a very insecure person who does not have much going for them other than being able to "fuck bitches". There is more to life than that dude, you will just never see it.
>>34205335
I didn't think I was that bad.
>>34207300Hypergamy is a bitch
How many confirmed duolicious marriages have there been? Anyone become a parent off here?
>>34207551>parents from duoliciousgod i fucking hope not
>>34207300All things considered, not that bad considered i only sent msgs to profiles i was attracted to
I still talk for like what, a year now with this femcel from germany who reached out to me firstShes nice but super autistic and her parents are sheltering her extremely
Didn't this site have a data leak. Are everyone's selfies going to get leaked too.
>>34181164got laid on this sitetook his virginity10/10 would do again
>>34208495So what's the matter? Wash your balls and go visit her. Take her to a festival or amusement park.
>>34209116Eww, gay...
>>34209099made an account but after hearing about the data leaks I'm thankful I made it with throwaway emails and stuff. Haven't uploaded face aswell.From what I get the creator or so posts in these threads or what?
>>34209938>the creatorstop being fucking retarded, read the first post and pay attention and you'd know that holy shit
I've met up with 8 different guys who want to date just to get free dinner
>>34210336yawn more bait
>>34205589this is the dumbest take ever. stop projecting your values on to me. my only regret in life is not being a bigger fuckboy when i was a prime piece of fuckmeat. i will give you points though because part of the reason i wasn't is because I did have insecurity issues mostly related to body dysmorphia and low self-esteem, oh the irony. i would flex my six pack in the mirror and pick myself apart, but now that i'm a fat fuck i have the confidence of a king lmfaoi think it's better to have an exciting and dysfunctional life than a safe and boring one, but for many of us that choice is made before we're ever born. i lost my virginity a month before i turned 14 so i find it hilarious there's incels twice that age. i'll never forget when she was riding me raw and i told her i was gonna cum and she kept going... probably what started my love of creampies which is why my pullout game is so weak, but i love being a dad it's so fulfilling ngland besides i'd rather die a disease riddled whore than a fucking virgin loser. anyway i can't be bothered to give a fuck about what any of you retards on this dumpster fire of a website think, but it's cute to watch you guys circle jerk over a confirmation bias crackerstay retarded, bitches
>>34210964>telling us about sex he had at 14ew pedo please kys
>>34203603>>34203766lol. That question should probably be removed>>34203872Thanks for the report. In-app reports are more actively monitored than this thread>>34209099>>34209938Somebody made copies of people's profiles once by using an automated tool. There's tools which do the same for Tinder. Here's one:https://github.com/frederikme/TinderBotzIf you use any dating app, you're at risk of someone sharing your profile without your permission. So I think it's a good idea not to show your face if you're very privacy-focused
>>34210964>because I did have insecurity issuesyou still do
>finally get a girl to talk to me after months on the app>have a really nice conversation across several hours>look forward to talking more, maybe doing something together, next day>get ghosted>deletes her account the day afterI guess that's the government mandated dose of hopium to keep me from doing something stupid(?), so I suppose I'm looking forward to my next match in February at the earliest.
>>34210964You are talking about living dangerously but the only danger you face is some std. That is a laughable excuse at living dangerously. Maybe I am projecting my values onto you, maybe I am a pathetic virgin, but I know that I live a very fulfilling life even without someone who I love in the most honest way.
>>34212137I'm really sorry if you were the really cool guy with nice hair talking to me (the girl with 2 bunnies) but someone on there was really scary sending me his fantasy of raping me and I deleted the whole thing because i got scared. I hope you're well :)
>>34210964You’ve never had sex in your life clearly
>>34187655i feel ashamed for taking advantage of her being young/bpd/schizo/poor/bad childhood. also she's suicidal if i don't stay with her because attached... like wtf do i do now just commit to being a pedo or else she dies? i would be ok with it if people didn't label me this way i have pure intentions.
>>34213167cockblocked by rapechad
>>34213167Sorry to hear that. I saw you had a Discord but couldn't remember it. Mine is j.t.shikari if you'd like to keep talking.
>>34213792Added!:)
>>34213167You know you can just report and block people who send messages like that.
is this app worth using? just for friends lets say
>>34214302>just for friendsYou'll fit right in with the rest of the time-wasting cunts
>>34214352cool
>>34213792She deleted her account and was about to never talk to you again she obviously does not care about you at all and you still want her.
>>34214302From my experience, it's kind of hard to even find anyone to talk to on this app. Always has been to be fair.I'd say 80-90% of the intros I as a guy get are obvious fake accounts and scammers.The few I got which were not went nowhere because none of the girls knew how to hold a conversation.Don't take it the wrong way, but if you have to resort to asking me how I am, I can already tell where this conversation is going (nowhere) and I'm already done with it. If you send me a single emoji response, I just aint going to bother carrying the conversation on. And if the conversation is so dry I can't think of anything to say, I'm not putting in the effort to keep talking.
can i report trannies listing themselves as female?
>>34210964>I did have insecurity issuesNigga still clearly does. Even a bot can see it. I fucking love LLMs. Lmao
>>34215769grok is this true
>>34214302Looking at the profiles, one would think this was a friend app. That said, I did connect with a Russian girl and we chat over Telegram. It will never become sexual or romantic, but friends are good to have too.Though in my experience with apps in general, 1/3,500 profiles you browse ends in an interesting interaction outside of the service. Duo is a better platform than most, but userbase is a really hit and miss
>>34216206Lena? I did not like her.
I've been thinking about this review lately. Should I monetize Duolicious? It seems like whether or not I'm profiteering, users will accuse me of profiteering. So I may as well *actually* profiteer so that I can put all that money back into Duolicious and do what's (arguably) best for the community, which would be to grow it. Otherwise the app's growth is largely at the whim of content creators and search algorithms. Content creators only sporadically make content for Duolicious without being asked, and whenever contacted have asked me to pay even though they're aware the project's donation-based. Google Search seems to be attracting normies.It's not just angry users who question the donation-based thing. I also sometimes get feedback from users who like the project who encourage me to run ads to help keep it alive.(1/2)
I've personally always thought that there'd be no point to Duolicious if it started being more heavy-handed about making money, because there's already plenty of dating apps which do that. I still believe that now, but maybe with less conviction. When I first made Duolicious, I was hoping that if users didn't feel like they were being nickeled-and-dimed, they'd like the app well enough to grow it by word-of-mouth. While that seems to have happened to some degree, the effect hasn't been strong enough to make the app usable for many people who don't want a long-distance relationship. Maybe the only way for Duolicious to achieve that is by monetizing only for as long as needed to become established, before gradually giving more away for free, in a kind of reverse-enshitification process.Fun fact: I almost added in-app "purchases" in September 2024, though I was only going to allow donations:https://github.com/duolicious/duolicious-frontend/pull/398/files#diff-7ae45ad102eab3b6d7e7896acd08c427a9b25b346470d7bc6507b6481575d519R49I never followed-through on that largely because I lacked the motivation - Making money and doing more marketing are both boring to me, but I think they might be needed.What are your opinions?tl;dr should I monetize Duolicious?

>>34217841Any info on how many users might be using adblockers?
>>34217824>>34217841I don't see an issue with non-malicious banner adds or something. I appreciate the effort, but I am frugal and I don't like making online payments.Disabling adblock I can do if the ads are not invasive
i want to be marissa's little baby tampon boy. i want to turn into a little crying baby and then suck on her breasts. her magic breast milk would turn me into a little baby tampon boy. she would stick her hoo-hoo and i would wait with anticipation spouting little baby goo-goo ga-gas waiting for her to bleed all over me. i want to feel her marissa blood inside my little goo-goo ga-ga baby tampon body. i want to absorb her hoo-hoo juies inside my little baby tampon boy body and goo-goo ga-ga like a little rolly-polly baby boy. it would be orgasmic to know i am one with her hoo-hoo marissa blood and i would giggle and goo-goo ga-ga and yelp with little baby boy excitement as i roll around in her marissa hoo-hoo and revel in her red juices, slurping them into my soft little baby tampon boy goo-goo ga-ga body. then i want her to pull me out and squeeze and wring my little baby tampon boy body so that her marissa hoo-hoo blood and juices spill all over her marissa face. it would hurt and i would scream in pained goo-goo ga-gas as pain envelops my little baby tampon boy body until i reach full climax and turn back into grown human man.

Menfolk, how often (if ever) do you receive an intro?In the four months I've had my account I've received one DM from a girl asking what the fuck my profile picture was
>>34220455someone sent me an intro the other week just to call me ugly and block me
>>34220461Deepest condolences nigga
>>34220466appreciate it broalso nice track record with the dubs
>>34218660Good question. No concrete numbers. But lots of users view/click the 4chan ads, especially on mobile>>34219972It's in a few different tables. Here's the endpoint to fetch a profile:https://github.com/duolicious/duolicious-backend/blob/a32faf9057b07e9d169b2dc6efcf33721a0fe80a/service/api/__init__.py#L304-L306There's no DTO, if that's what you were looking for. And I didn't use an ORM. I just used straight SQL. While I can see some advantages to adding types to outputs, the fact that they're going to get immediately serialized to JSON removes a lot of those advantages. So I've added types to inputs, using Pydantic, because the inputs need to be processed by the server. But the outputs don't. If I'd used a monorepo containing the frontend and backend, I probably would've added output types or DTOs to ensure the frontend and backend used the same API schema. But I wanted to use Python for the backend because it's got numpy. I needed a linear algebra library like numpy for the matching algo. Because the backend/frontend are in different languages, it's hard to test that they're following the same API schema so I didn't bother. I know there's still ways to do it, but it adds a bit of extra work, and I'm already stretched thin for time as it is, and because I'm practically the sole contributor, I can hold the whole project in my head without the extra documentation types provide. If I can get one or two people to contribute with autistic consistency, I think adding DTOs and all that boilerplatey stuff would make a lot more sense

Eileen the Janitoress seems really attention starved. What's her deal?
Why are the foids on here so neurotic
God forbid foids actually contribute to theconversation, I feel like I am talking to a robot.
>>34222078What kind of woman do you think would want to be in a place like this? That's the kind.
>>34222262>What kind of woman do you think would want to be in a place like thisI would assume my female equivalent but apparently not so for some reason. Literally just want an autistic but cute gf, not asking for much man.
Tired of interacting with fake/fucked up people lovebombing me for a few weeks and then ghosting me. Not really just a duo problem because it seems endemic to most online dating.
>>34220609why the fuck does this site not have dark mode you retarded faggit
>>34222277Yeah, autism is going to manifest differently in most women. The most stable autistic women aren't going to have trouble finding normal guys to pair off with either.
>>34222392I thought there was some study that showed autism doesn't negatively impact women's ability to find a partner or reproduce
>>34222904They are still women. Some mid autistic bitch will still find a simp to betabux for them. That or pumped and dumped. Autist women don't have any struggle in dating, regular men have it much harder.
Why is there a limit to how many Intros you can send
>>34222372Because you haven't implemented it. Here's the ticket:https://github.com/duolicious/duolicious-frontend/issues/375The community is counting on you, anon>>34223275Some guy sent thousands of messages in half an hour once. He did it twicehttps://www.reddit.com/r/duolicious/comments/1hguc67/did_i_encounter_an_alien/https://www.reddit.com/r/duolicious/comments/1he5hs6/this_is_definitely_a_bot_right/Plus grills were complaining about too many messages even before that. Adding a limit slightly improved the gender ratio
>>34221455Sounds about right. Even YouTube is trying to stop people from using adblockers so it must be impacting them quite a bit. I mostly agree with >>34218662 where I'm less likely to donate but I'd turn off the adblocker if the ads weren't too annoying. If you do in-app purchases could also implement something like the Brave browser where you get rewards for enabling ads. As long as purchases don't give users an "advantage", that just turns the site into shit and makes people hate using it.
>>34223275If people are sending enough intros to hit a limit, that's a problem on their end. Total Desperation.
how the fuck do hit the intro limit unless you are just fucking around/trolling? I find maybe one person im actually interested in talking to every day
>>34223275Men should have 1 intro/day. Playing the numbers and spamming women just ends up hurting the whole scene.Probably most male users have been alone all their life. They can afford to wait a little more to message the next girl. Also, men behaving more selectively would mitigate the attention seeker issues and disincentivizing women who are only after validation
>>34224101This anon is onto something. Just 1 would be too restrictive, but it should be low enough that men have to ration their intros at least somewhat. This would disincentivize low effort and abusive intros, and reduce the overall number of intros, thereby reducing the strain on women and facilitating a higher level of discussion.
Wait, I need to verify to even send intros now? Even to accounts that do not require verification to view?Yeah fuck that. This site is done for.
>>34224296>Wait, I need to verify to even send intros now?Only britbongs:https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/protecting-children/age-checks-for-online-safety--what-you-need-to-know-as-a-userIf you don't like it, you can sign a petition which your government will politely ignore with PR speak:https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903>Government responded>>I would like to thank all those who signed the petition. It is right that the regulatory regime for in scope online services takes a proportionate approach, balancing the protection of users from online harm with the ability for low-risk services to operate effectively and provide benefits to users.>>The Government has no plans to repeal the Online Safety Act, and is working closely with Ofcom to implement the Act as quickly and effectively as possible to enable UK users to benefit from its protections.>...>Department for Science, Innovation and Technology4chan and /soc/ will probably remain unaffected despite breaking the UK's laws unless your government makes VPNs illegal and requires ISPs to blacklist it
>>34224457But I'm using a VPN to explicitly avoid having to provide my ID whenever I want to do anything on the internet. Because fuck living in this dystopian country hellbent on controlling and censoring everything.
>>34224469Also forgot to say. Trying to follow the law is pointless. If you're not located in the UK, they cannot enforce anything on you, and given the size of the website I doubt anyone in any position of power is even aware anyway. The absolute worst that can happen is the website eventually gets blocked in the UK, but that would require a very length process.Also, trying to follow the law is pointless for such a small website. Implementing age verification is just one small part of the law you are mandated to follow. The actual guidance document you have to follow is over 2500 pages long and by submitting yourself to this law, you are legally required to produce reports and action plans out of the ass. Which I doubt you're doing.Implementing one part of this law when there are 2499 other parts you're not seems kind of stupid if you ask me.
>>34224469For the purpose of enforcing the UK's laws, Duolicious uses the location which the user has set on their account. Though if you switch locations to somewhere outside the UK, it won't automatically reset. Users who've made a mistake can contact support@duolicious.app to have it reset.>>34224482>If you're not located in the UK, they cannot enforce anything on youThat's what a lot of social media users claim. I think they're talking out of their arses. Countries have treaties and accords to enforce laws overseas. Even if they don't try to prosecute me in my own country, I'd still be on the hook if I ever moved to the UK. While I don't have any plans on moving to the UK, I'd rather not burn bridges with an entire government to run a dating app which, as you mentioned, isn't very big or important anyway>given the size of the website I doubt anyone in any position of power is even aware anywayOfcom also went after some file sharing sites nobody's heard of. There's a real risk of a disgruntled autist lodging reports against Duolicious and getting the site investigated. So I'd really rather not break any laws>The actual guidance document you have to follow is over 2500 pages longWhat you've essentially said is that it's okay to deliberately break laws which are written in lengthy documents. It's a poor argument that nobody would apply to other laws with long definitions like murder, theft, and so onIf you tweak the argument a bit, I can agree with it: I think it's a pretty heavy regulatory burden, and I disagree with a lot of those laws, largely because I don't think they legitimately protect children. Japan has laws for dating apps which protect children in my opinion, but not the UK. The UK just has theatre dressed up as safety. But I'm still not willing to deliberately break the silly laws
>>34224510I'm guessing you're located in America?The UK cannot touch you. They can only seek to extradite you if you break a law in the UK that is also illegal in the US. And lets be honest here, unless you're on a boat coming from France, you're not going to live in the UK (nor is anyone really).Let me put into perspective how ineffective this law actually is.According to google there is over 330,000 porn websites. According to the UK government around 6000 websites are complying with the law so far, about 1.8%.And this is only porn websites, the website applies to a wide array of websites such as social media, filesharing and dating websites. What is the actual number of websites that the law would apply to? Probably millions. And only 6000 are complying (and those are mostly the larger websites with business interests in the UK).And no, I am not saying it's ok to deliberately break laws with are written in lengthy documents. I am saying, you are breaking the law right now. If you do not comply with the entire 2500 page guidance, you are breaking the law and subject to the penalties therein.Have you written an illegal content risk assessment? And if so, may we see it?Have you implemented all of the 40 practical steps required to ensure the safety of children (age verification is just one)?There is hundreds and hundreds of other things you are mandated to do.But I am sure you've done them all right? If not you are subject to a fine of £18 million which I am sure you will pay, right?Point I am making is this, you have not followed the law at all. You've implemented one tiny part of it, you are still on the line to pay that £18 million fine though and have willingly subjected yourself to this, as such I have reported you to ofcom. You must now either fully comply with the law, block anyone from the UK from accessing the website, or be fined.
>>34224510>other laws with long definitions like murder, theft, and so onHave you actually read them? The definitions for murder and theft are quite short.
>>34224649Under the online safety act, half of the duolicious users would be banned, if not more.The act defines many different types of content, some you have to stop children from accessing, but some is simply straight up illegal and not only must it be removed, but steps must be implemented to stop it from reappearing.Some of this content is kind of obvious like child porn (though the UK definition of child porn is very wide ranging and I have seen accounts that would be considered as having child porn under the UK definition). Some is for things like self harm, which I see accounts with all the time, you're not allowed to glorify mental health issues either, which means half the fucking female accounts on the website are gone straight away, racism is illegal, so is any kind of prejudice against anyone for things like age (got to get rid of that age filter, it's ageist), gender, race, disability and even socioeconomic discrimination are all illegal. You're not even allowed to talk negatively about migration, that is illegal too.So just remember, by UK law, if someone is prejudice against you because of your age, gender, race, disability or even because you're fucking poor, then the website owner is legally obligated to take steps to rectify this and ban that user. And we could argue someone refusing to talk to me, or passing on me because of these protected characteristics is indeed prejudice.Shit like this is why the online safety act is a fucking joke. But if the owner of the website doesn't want to be fined £18 million, he got no choice but to follow these laws.
>>34224529>reported by a disgruntled autist to ofcom>for following ofcom's rules>in case a disgruntled autist lodges a reportpoetry>>34224649Are you only reading the Homicide Act? The UK's legal system operates on case law too. So the definition or murder is encapsulated in countless murder trials. Lawyers familiarize themselves with those trials to properly understand the definition>>34224686>got to get rid of that age filter, it's ageistHas anyone ever told you that you think in quite black-and-white terms? Anyway, even though it doesn't seem like it, I share your butthurt. I've had to spend days writing code to enforce laws I disagree with, which I know will drive users away instead of (in my opinion) protecting people. But the laws just aren't going away. In fact more countries will be adopting them soon. Australia will have similar laws within this year. Other countries in the EU will adopt similar laws too. So far in the US, Utah requires age verification too (though the burden is on app stores). I'm not sure if the rest of the US will follow, but I bet they eventually will. Though to play devil's advocate, how do I know I'm not talking to an LLM unless you hand over your ID? Plenty of users already try to get past Duolicious' verification using AI pics. One day it'll be impossible to tell the difference
>>34224780You are not following ofcoms rules, which is why I reported you to them. You cannot selectively just follow some rules and not others. You must follow all 2500 pages of the legal guidance without exception.
>>34224790...was it the age filter? :(
>>34224798Just on my search page, I can find plenty of accounts with illegal content.Just remember, even things like purposefully spreading misinformation online is a criminal offence in the UK and you are obligated under the online safety act to remove it.https://web.duolicious.app/profile/5d5f1630-321d-4c87-b3c5-4e614b17a0a8Here is an example profile.Profile depicts self harm, that is illegal.Has an animated image of an underage girl being sexually suggestive. Under UK law this is child pornography.Profile mentions they love cutting. Talking about or encouraging self harm is illegal.The have an image of a girl on her hands and knees while a guy stands on her head. That is extreme pornography. That is illegal.They are in clubs such as bdsm, degradation kink and masochism, they are classified as extreme pornography in the UK and therefore illegal.I mean, you're the one who opted to follow all of these laws... So maybe it's time you started banning people for breaking the law?
>>34224822LOL is "extreme pornography" seriously illegal in the UK? holy shit, i feel bad for limey cucks who can't even carry a plastic butter knife to defend themselves or crank their pecker to kinky shit. your country is actually shittier than more than half of southeast asian countries, holy fuck
>>34224879Yes, extreme pornography is illegal in the UK. It can include many things, but violence or injury to a person is one of them. Which essentially makes BDSM porn illegal.And yes, the UK is a complete shithole. It's rapidly becoming less free than most authoritarian countries. It's not even considered a free country anymore, it's now "less free" and dropping.
>>34224822I appreciate the report. I didn't ban them though I moderated the self-harm content because that goes again Duolicious' guidelines. Though BDSM-related stuff isn't illegal in the UK. I think it used to be before 2019>>34224879BDSM porn isn't illegal in the UK. Anon is straw-manning the laws because he doesn't like them
>>34224885>British law does not recognize the possibility of consenting to actual bodily harm. Such acts are illegal, even between consenting adults, and these laws are enforced (R v Brown being the leading case).>In the UK, Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) is a form of assault causing physical injury that is more than trivial but not as serious as GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm). It involves inflicting hurt or injury, which can include bruises, cuts, or swelling, but doesn't necessarily need to be permanentBDSM that results in bruising, cuts or other such minor injuries is illegal.
>>34224822Genuine question. By what mechanism can this be enforced on anyone?"You broke my law! Pay the fine!""Uh... no""W-well you need to block UK users.""Nah you guys can do that."What, are they going to try extraditing people over this? LmaoA gentle reminder that not a single American thinks or cares about your soggy island.
>>34224914Realistically, if the website does not have servers in the UK, does not have any assets in the UK and is not run by people living in the UK then the law cannot be enforced. The worst that can happen is that ofcom can make UK ISPs block websites. Technically they can enforced fines of either £18 million or 10% of a companies global annual revenue, which ever is higher, but in most cases they have no means with which to actually collect this fine.It's an absolutely insane law that the UK has decided everyone in the entire world is effected by. Even the American government is looking at Britain and wondering what the fuck we're doing and they are not happy about it.More than likely, the current government will be voted out in 2029. When that happens, the government most likely to replace them has said on day one they will repeal this law.The UK is unfortunately run by literal communists right now, and they are just following the communist playbook, but until the next election in 2029 there is simply no way to remove them from power.
>>34224780>Are you only reading the Homicide Act? The UK's legal system operates on case law too. So the definition or murder is encapsulated in countless murder trials.For the purpose of trial, all those volumes of caselaw are condensed into the "charge" that is given to the jurors before they deliberate. I'm not sure where to find UK jury charges, but the my state's model jury charge for murder is only five pages.
>>34224914>What, are they going to try extraditing people over this? LmaoYes, that's what MLATs are for.
>>34224883i wish you the best in surviving it, my country is shrinking freedoms too
>>34224926Banter aside, I really do feel bad for you britbros. It's quite a nightmare you guys have made for yourselves. I visited when I was a teen and what I saw there really cemented a lot of my politcal opinions.

Have you guys noticed how some profiles try to fish on the feed by editing their descriptions without actually changing any of the content?Not sure if it's just attention seeking or catfishing. There're maybe one or two I might message, but the behavior is off putting
>>34228181You're put off by women doing exactly what they're supposed to do? Girls don't know how to coquette anymore just as men don't know how to approach. This is what we're left with.
>>34228181Not surprised. The feed offers little of value anyway.
>>34228181I remember when that was a problem on Facebook in the 00's. Constant updates every time anybody added a comma to their bio. Duo doesn't need a feed, but since dd is determined to have one for whatever reason, he needs to overcome this behavior.
>>34228209It's lazy since they don't make any changes to the message which already was uninteresting and given the general user base, it just seems like they are attention seeking without actual desire to get to know you or they are catfishing you.It's like they are trying to fish without a hook, let alone bait. Though given the 2 years of this shit, it seems like *the* most women thing to do...
>>34227958Can we at least agree on one thing? TKD
>>34228181>>34228354>everybody looking at the feed section has been seeing every update i make to my profile and every image of myself i put thereOH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD
>>34227149Getting responses is easy. Keeping conversations going is the hard part.
>>34226660it was good while it lasted, i ended things too it was the hardest decision i ever made in my life
Hey so I've never had a single connection through this app and if not even women with similar interests and mental disorders as me want to talk to me then I think killing myself is getting up these on my to-do list, why even bother living if I know I'm just gonna be isolated for the rest of it too
>>34236196There's not many women on the app. It's dead
>>34181164Does anyone else feel deeply offended when some bitch blocks you instead of just ignoring your intro?
>>34236383Just assume they were clearly mentally ill, like smearing their own shit on the walls level of deranged, and tell yourself bullet dodged mate
>>34217841I've been looking into adding ads, as you voted for in pic related. For advertising, there's a few providers, each with their own drawbacks:>Google AdSense. Drawbacks: Google's crawlers will require access to the site behind the login screen. This raises privacy concerns and will also need a significant rewrite of the authentication code because Google's crawler doesn't support OTPs.>Exoclick: Drawbacks: Associated with porn sites and might cause false positives in antivirus software.>BuySellAds: Drawbacks: Seems pretty good but they only partner with selected companies. They didn't email me back yet. I still hold hope.Given that none of these are ideal, I've been thinking of paywalling the almost-useless features for a very small price (e.g 49 cents per month) for new users. But that comes with its own problems including handling taxes internationally and developing a UI to sell shit, which I can barely muster the motivation to do.So the whole "selling out" thing might take a while. In the meantime I removed the death counter which was complained about here >>34217824. It'll probably cause people to donate less, but maybe that'll light a fire up my arse to make the app financially self-sustaining.As for changes I've actually made instead of just daydreamed about:>Intros don't need to be completely unique anymoreThough they still need to be unique within the past 7 days. I relaxed this requirement because lots of people complained it was too difficult to find unique openers, and after thinking about it, they might've been right. I only ever intended the r9k algorithm as a way to prevent people using the absolute laziest openers, e.g. hi, hello, sup. This change will take effect in about 45 minutes, while I'm asleep.>I removed spam detection for some kinds of spamThe detector was for an uncommon kind of spam and probably just caused lots of false positivesLove,Duodaddy
>>34237445Paywalling is a slippery slope, but it's your app and if that's what you need to keep afloat then it is what it is. The actual elephant in the room is the user base.
>>34237445>Google AdSense. Drawbacks: Google's crawlers will require access to the site behind the login screen. This raises privacy concernsWhat sort of access? Don't they provide an option for non-targeted ads like on Android and shiit? I don't mind if Google reads my profile, but I'm very conscious about biometrics
This is the only app where anyone ever actually responds to me so I appreciate that but it does make me sad when I have a nice interaction with someone and they block me when I try to continue the conversation. Ah well.
>>34237794i can certainly tell you paywalling anything will not increase the userbase size.the quality is a different discussion though i suppose.
I'm scared to verify an account. Will this stuff get leaked like the Tea app?
>>34238355I think your verification photo is sent to ChatGPT for analysis and then deleted, not stored on Duolicious servers.https://duolicious.app/privacy/
>>34238355Pretty much anything and everything has a risk of leaking
Even if im looking for more, should i keep "looking for friends" in the search on? How many others are ok with those who are contacting for more but also put their status on that just cause or to also cast a wider net would you say you see?
I'm attracted to women but talking to them just makes me angry. Might date a man instead.
>>34237794>The actual elephant in the room is the user baseAre you talking about the number of users, like this >>34238097 anon?>>34238097>paywalling anything will not increase the userbase sizeHow do you feel about 4chan passes?It's possible that selling non-core features will provide enough income to afford paid shilling by 4chan-aligned influencers. Though I'd just be happy to pay Duolicious' bills without begging>>34237821Have you tried deleting the racist stuff then re-submitting your app? Duolicious was banned from Google Play once for racist clubs people made. But Google let the app back on after they were censored>>34238002>What sort of access?They pretty much want their own Duolicious account which their bot can log into>Don't they provide an option for non-targeted ads like on Android and shiit?It might be okay on Android, with AdMob. I only looked into the options on web so far because I think most users are on web>I'm very conscious about biometricsThat's another thing. Some advertisers (e.g. Mediavine) require Duolicious to add Google Analytics, which I'm hesitant to do. Selling stuff is a bit better for privacy than ads imo>>34238355Unlike Tea, Duolicious doesn't ask for photo ID. So if you've already got pics of your face on your Duolicious profile, a leaked verification selfie wouldn't give a hacker any extra personally identifiable info
>>34238610Thank goodness, please don't come back to the straight side either
>>34239080i PERSONALLY dont care about 4chan passes, but i remember and still here and there see people complain about them. that said they only complain because its something you can show off for people to see to complain about. if they couldnt see it, they probably wouldnt care as much.that also said, im sure some people stopped using the site over it too, in which its the 'plane with shots' syndrome where you dont see the reactions of the people who left, because well, they left.its also not exactly comparable, as the two sites serve very different purposes. i think the real worry is visibility of the payment + any perceived boost in potential matches from the payment. wont say i know the 'correct format' to do it to avoid it, but it probably wouldn't be a problem to have paid features so long as no one feels like their already slim chances of meeting someone isnt wholly gimped by those who pay.
>>34238610Yes, the absolute state of women these days.
>>34239080>They pretty much want their own Duolicious account which their bot can log intoLike a normal account with no admin or janny features? It wouldn't be so bad if hiding it from strangers would blind you to Google IMO. It would be nice compromise since I suppose most users allow free access to their profile>>34238610I just get sad. Young people are the future, but what future is there to be had if everyone is just lonely and miserable?
>This image requires a 4chan Gold AccountTo avoid running ads or selling subscriptions, I've also contemplated separating the chat functionality into its own API which can be sold to businesses. I feel a lot better about making money from businesses than individuals. Duolicious would offer the Walmart version of Sendbird (which Hinge uses for their chat), Twilio, GetStream, etc. Then the worst ads in Duolicious would only be a little bit of text in chat that says "Powered by Duolicious Chat" (or something like that), which advertises the business-to-business products. Although that approach is probably too complicated for me to handle by myself, so I don't think it's a realistic option at the moment.>>34240279I think users would find it unsettling to see Google Bot in their search results
had the first ever person to ever message and i think they deleted their account before i could respond! D:
>>34239080Is .webm support for profiles off the table?
>>34240720I was going to do it when I added gif support. It wasn't an option back then, though I think it should be possible now. I've raised a ticket:https://github.com/duolicious/duolicious-frontend/issues/884The feed would be much more engaging with more videos
>>34236383Nah, I archive conversations myself instead of having them cluttering up my intros. Out of sight, out of mind.
>>34240809what is afrodite? i saw it when looking at what else you worked on.
>>34240847Another open-source dating app. I didn't work on it, I just gave it a star to support other open-source dating apps. Now that you mention it, I should give Alovoa a star too. Aside from Duolicious, Alovoa is the only other open-source dating app I know of which currently has users lol
>>34236383No, blocked is preferable to ignored. At least you have closure.
>>34240593pic related seems fine. though you might need to make the clubs section of a profile a drop down menu if you do that lol. its already a bit long for those that fill up all 100.
Lots of trannies on there.
Has something happened with matching people with hidden locations? Might be related to the changes made for the UK. I had multiple matches, mostly from people with hidden locations (but still within the UK given my distance filter), but now I'm only seeing a couple of matches with people who chose to reveal their location.
>>34243684>Might be related to the changes made for the UKSounds like it. Users who require verification aren't shown in search or the feed until they get verified. Whether or not the user's location is hidden has nothing to do with it.
>>34244111How do I avoid "spam" when writing my bio?

sites down reeeeee
>>34238610This. I am frequently cursing myself because I cannot be gay. I do not find the male body attractive at all.I wish tomboys didn't go extinct thanks to the tranny population. A girl who can play videogames with me and the bros is all I could ever ask for.
>>34246642
>>34246642A woman who loves you will likely indulge you in your hobbies or at least try to understand them. However a man can never take the place of a woman, no matter how much he tries. Men don't understand women, women don't understand men. We are simply different and we need each other for our full potential
>>34246642>A girl who can play videogames with me and the bros is all I could ever ask for.That sound gay as fuck, bro. Just go play the currently in battle-royal slop and fish yourself a discord link if that's the height of your ambitions in life
>>34247143>go play the currently in battle-royal slopAre you sure you're not the gay one?
This shit really needs a dark mode, my eyes are bleeding.
>>34247239Hey, he wanted to play games with girls. It's not my fault slop is all they seem to play going by their profiles
I just added rice to everyone's profiles.Does anyone have suggestions for badges? I feel like a response rate badge could be useful, or a badge to show if someone has an audio bio.Also, new and existing members who sign up before I roll-out monetization in a week or two will basically have free lifetime subscriptions to pic related >>34240593 because it was the easiest thing for me to do lol. Although I've reconsidered allowing 200 clubs for now. For now, everyone stays on a max of 100 clubs. When monetization is rolled out, people who haven't already signed up will need to pay or else be limited to 50 clubs. Which I think is still a lot.
>>34251268what counts as a "long" profile and is that based on anything?
>>34251275500 characters
>>34251268You forgot to make a badge for answering 1500 questions.
>>34251276and is that an arbitrary number? did you average the number of characters in everyone's bio? did you read some random sample bios and the pile of them where you said "this shit is long" was above that number?
>>34251280I just eyeballed it. I tried to pick a number where about half the people in the feed got that badge
>>34240593>50 cents per monthI assume that payments would be made 12 months at a time or something, to avoid huge payment-processing fees.
>>34251268>Does anyone have suggestions for badges?Fell For It Again Award: granted to users who keep messaging catfishNo Personality Award: granted to users whose bios contain 50% or higher of shared words (less "and, the, hi, etc" and more "bedrot, goon, valorant, etc")

I wouldn't mind highlighting it more that people I message are few and far in between
>>34253877I don't think 'times looked at profiles and not messaged' is an easy thing to track.also, personally, I don't even see 40 different profiles I can read. am I supposed to open and close them repeatedly for achievements?
>>34253877Don't listen to this person, they have autism.
duodaddy make dark mode a one time payment of $5 and you'll probably have enough to run the server for ages.
>>34253896I would be surprised if it isn't already tagged somewhere, just not publicized.
>>34255132"skipping" actually means something on tinder though, it doesn't here. you're opening someone's myspace page.
I'm not going to pay any amount, however small, to use this site, for the same reason I'm not going to verify with a (real) photo sent to a third party service to be stored indefinitely: I don't want a recorded affiliation to muh extremism hatespeech website to fuck my life up.If I'd had the least bit of medium-long term success with anyone on duo, it would be a different story since I might consider the risk worth it. I'd pay a retarded amount of money if I thought it was a good environment to find a partner, but it isn't, in fact it hasn't lead to any more success than an average half-decent /soc/ thread. The user base does not deliver, and there is no indication anything will change.
>>34253877Badges should incentivize interaction, not the opposite
>>34253877If you want to put>7,000,000 skipped profiles world is a fuckin your bio, that's your prerogative. But the app should not encourage it with little pieces of flair.
>finally get around to filtering out the women only searching for friends>only 5 women left in search resultsIs it too late to put a bullet in my head?
>no matchesI could be retarded, but why can't there be an option to disregard the percent of compatibility, and just search by clubs with filters.I have only 2 interests and I'd rather filter through the 100 or so people with it, the club section is 9/10 emptyThe feed is really annoying, nothing against them, but it's 99.99% trans people, femboys and men. Idk why we can't filter that either.I like this website, but its very difficult to find someone with similar interests.:(
why cant you search by clubs not on your own list anyhow?like, a guy has no reason to put 'femcel' in their clubs, but plenty of reason to search for those with the club. plenty of clubs work like that.guess you can always add them temporarily, see what comes up, then remove it.
>>34256938>>34257146everything these men said is true and good
>>34251436Do you mean for customers? Do banks do that?Apple and Google charge too much IMO. But it's a percentage of income rather than a fixed amount per transaction>>34252390>>34253877How about focusing on positive things, thinking happy thoughts, and shit like that? There could be a badge for mentioning unique topics, being a member of an distinctive club, or holding conversations well>>34254781lol. When I add it (one day in the very distant future), I'll probably just add it to the existing subscription package. desu, I think the current features included in Gold are kind of shit>>34255268Noted. I guess the ways to improve those issues would be:>make it clearer how verification selfies are used>market to audiences in addition to 4chan>>34256938>search by clubs with filtersWhat's the difference between that and the way search already works? Do you want it to work more like the anon below you suggested, where you can add a few clubs to your filters and have anyone in those clubs show up in your search results instead of searching one club at a time?>I have only 2 interests and I'd rather filter through the 100 or so people with it, the club section is 9/10 emptyI think I'm misunderstanding because it sounds like you're asking for a different UI to filter through the same clubs. But obviously that won't cause more people to be in the clubs>The feed is really annoying, nothing against them, but it's 99.99% trans people, femboys and men. Idk why we can't filter that either.Understandable. The feed is a bit sparse if you're viewing it as a man. There's no technical solution to that though. The site just needs more women>>34257146Clubs are really meant for mutual interests. I've noticed people making clubs for things which aren't mutual, and I have a sense that people who join those clubs tend to break the rule more often. e.g. there was "seller" club (where whoever made the club intended for other members to be buyers rather than sellers)
>>34257377>Do you mean for customers? Do banks do that?It is my understanding that small credit-card transactions have proportionally-large fees imposed on the seller by the payment processor (not the bank). For example, typical credit-card fees might be 0.01 percent of the transaction's value plus a flat fee of 50 cents per transaction, and the flat fee is a major burden on small transactions. This is why small businesses like Chinese restaurants prefer cash payment, and why Steam prefers it when you deposit 50 dollars in your Steam Wallet before buying ten different 5-dollar games in separate transactions.
>>34257377I don't know exactly how the clubs work from your end, but i only seem to get matches with >50%. IF that is the case, there should be an option to forego it, I'd prefer common interests.I'm hoping it's not a case of women not existing on the internet (real) or myself getting filtered. If so, i hope the gold gives the money to bring more in.For the feed thing, once again be patient I'm a retard, why can't you just exclude men, femboys etc. and only show updates to a specific filter, sure it might leave it half empty but it'd save me time searching through it.What that anon also suggested is also a very good idea.still love the platform tho, hope you make bag off it.
>>34257524only people who are 50% or higher are visible, that's the actual gimmick of the site. clubs are supposed to help as interest tags or something, but they're not the shtick.the feed is useless but he said at some point that it existing brought a bunch of people to the site.
>>34257524>I don't know exactly how the clubs work from your end, but i only seem to get matches with >50%.Have you tried clicking on one of the clubs? (Pic related.) The >50% restriction only applies when searching under "Everyone"... So actually it's not really everyone. It's everyone over 50% plus some other filters, like if the other person wants to be hidden from strangers. But that doesn't have a nice ring to it, so I didn't put that on the button.On the other hand, when searching within a specific club, there's no >50% restriction. For example, there's a 30 y/o guy twinkmaxxing in the /tv/ club who's got a 29% match with me.You might wonder why there's a 50% restriction. There wasn't initially. But the women complained that they were getting messages from guys they had nothing in common with. So I added the restriction. After a little while, I tried removing it again for a few days and the gender ratio got worse so now the restriction's back. Having unrestricted access to other club members doesn't seem to be as bad for the gender ratio, so there's no restriction there.>it might leave it half emptyI'm guessing it'd be totally empty, or very close to it. The feed currently filters out users who've received a few messages recently, to prevent women getting spammed. So what's going to happen if the feed highlights women is that a few guys will get to them first. Anyone who wants to speak to a woman will have to continuously refresh the feed, waiting for an unmessaged damsel to materialize. It's possible not to filter women based on how many messages they recently got, but women told me that the feed made them anxious to update their bio or go online because they were dreading all the unwanted messages. I could've added extra privacy settings, and I still intend to do it, but sensible default settings/behaviors are always best. If user demographics change, it might become viable to filter the feed more selectively.
>>34257650>it brought a bunch of people to the siteIt helps retention a lot. It made Duolicious' one-month user retention comparable to mainstream dating apps. Though it's still not as good yet. I think just adding webm support like this anon suggested might be enough >>34240720(Interestingly, even though Duolicious' monthly user retention is worse than normie apps, the retention in the first day is much better than other dating apps. I'm not sure what to make of that.)
>>34257377>Clubs are really meant for mutual interests. I've noticed people making clubs for things which aren't mutual, and I have a sense that people who join those clubs tend to break the rule more often. e.g. there was "seller" club (where whoever made the club intended for other members to be buyers rather than sellers)what its meant for vs what people use it for dont always line up, and thus should be taken into account.this means the purpose YOU meant for it simply isnt working, meaning you either find a way to correct the issue and encourage/force proper use, or you go with the flow and alter your implementation of them to go with how people are actually using it.otherwise, its just a half baked feature that isnt really fulfilling its purpose in either direction well.
>>34257748Good point
>>34257650correction i think is needed here; only people 50% or higher are visible in the GENERAL search. under specific club tags i've seen it show you someone as low as i think 34%, so i assume its set to 30% minimum to show there, but that is just speculation.
>>34257761>>34257717Is there a way to see if/why other people are filtering me out? I've seen the same slowly dwindling people for months on normal search, but I see a bunch of people I'd expect to be seeing if I search by club. >>34257377Also, I get why clubs are freeform, but that's leading to a situation where there's like four or more tags for the same thing. Four one video game, for example, I see the full name, the full name with Roman numerals, the abbreviation, and the /vg/ thread. I'm not sure if there's anything you can do about people using them as tags or whatever, like "I love women" or "I love goths".
>>34257717Can you change the people who get free gold to have a different badge than those who pay for it?
Shouldn't femboy be on the list of nonbinary gender options in the FAQ?
>got catfished again it’s all so tiresome
Fair warning to anyone considering verifying>create profile and do some questions>set basic search filters>over half the remaining profiles are hidden behind verification>figure I may as well verify since the picture won't be available to the public and I'm not getting anywhere with the people I can see>do the verification and pass>go back to search>literally not a single person has become visible that wasn't before>the message just changed to requiring verified photos instead of just verified profileWhat a bunch of bullshitAllow me to recap: there are actually two tiers of verification (at least), and unless you want to have your verified face photos visible to the public on a dating site for mental case anonymous people, verifying is basically a waste of time, and the site hides this and doesn't say what is really required until you've already wasted time doing the first tier. There are people who haven't even uploaded a single photo of any kind who are walled behind verified photos, reply rate included.
this app is hard for me because I feel like a whore talking to more than one man at a time and I'm afraid to accept chat requests because I feel I have to commit to whoever I talk to. so my response level is really low LOL
>>34261071don't feel bad for doing that. it's much nicer on a guy's end if you're doing one at a time. the alternative is us having to wait an hour for a one-word reply because you're trying to talk to 50 guys at once.
>>34261076ok that's good, i do only want to talk to one at a time
>>34261079You can hide your profile so no new requests come in for the time being
>>34259796>Is there a way to see if/why other people are filtering me out?The possibilities are that you didn't match one of these filters:>distance>age>genderor that you were skipped (assuming you were really filtered, and they didn't just leave the app altogether). So you'd like to be told which of those four things it was?>I've seen the same slowly dwindling people for months on normal search, but I see a bunch of people I'd expect to be seeing if I search by club.I think people who join clubs are more likely to be engaged with the app, and therefore less likely to leave the app.They're also more likely to have something in common with you, and therefore less likely to skip you.But I'm guessing the first one has the stronger effect>>34259866I'll consider it. But I worry it'll come across as a "fuck you, pay me" gesture towards the people who were there from the start. I want to reciprocate their loyalty>>34260934Fixed. Thanks>>34261060>the message just changed to requiring verified photos instead of just verified profilefake news>>34261071Thanks for your candor. Some women have mentioned feeling "overwhelmed" by too many messages, or that they didn't like a lot of the senders. But I've never heard this reason before. I think a lot of those women must've felt the same as you without feeling comfortable articulating it. That's given me a lot to think about
>decide to be more direct for a change instead of being passive in conversation >"hey anonette I noticed we live close by. wanna talk over some coffee sometime?" >she responds a few hours later >"I hate people like you" i don't even know why I try
>>34261457You’re not supposed to communicate with the mentally ill on there Anon, I’m sorry.
>>34261071>I feel like a whore talking to more than one man at a timeI can understand, but no need to feel such. Just view it like you're talking to a stranger on a train. Consenting to a conversation doesn't warrant exclusivity.Though a tip from a man to a woman, it would be best to limit your interactions to such that you can maintain a conversation. Using single word or sentence replies and lack of engagement makes it seem the person is not interested and it will kill the initial interest really fast.>>34261092This is good advice
>>34230014>Getting responses is easy.The only person who has ever responded to me on this site within the last year was a blatant troll.
Is the website down or is my browser just sharting?
>>34263412opening for me.alot of time even when the site isnt down it'll take way longer to open than other apps/sites. not always but could just be server overload sometimes or something else on their end happening.
>Everone on this site is soooo weird No shit retard.
>>34250498 >18+>social shitpost server for duo users and whoever else>don't be a chud & come hang outI assume this is unrelated despite the name given that this post has been deleted, but I want to make sure: is this server completely unrelated to duolicious itself?
setting your location to private does nothing when I can just triangulate your location by changing mine and adjusting the distance filter. Watch out ladies im coming
>>34261457I've taken that approach before with great success, but I've also had people who weren't receptive. Don't let their dysfunctionality affect your functionality. They could communicate what they're comfortable with, but it's easier to just dismiss and denigrate. It reinforces their confirmation bias and strokes their ego so they can get a win.The key is not to take anything personally, or anyone seriously. Be stoic, have no expectations, feel what you need to feel for a moment, connect with your emotions and why they manifest, express them for the moment if need be, but don't get attached or they can weigh you down. None of it is real until it actually happens. Women get dozens if not hundreds of matches/adds. They have a large selection pool and the option of being picky so they're going to be.It's not so much a problem with them, but just the reality of the situation. Unless you stand out you'll barely get noticed and even then you're just one of many attention faucets fulfilling her need for attention and validation. You might get an occasional response when her preferred match isn't giving her the attention she craves because he probably has options too and is doing the same with her as she does with most other men.It's not about right or wrong, it's just human nature. Online dating is a meat market and just like at the butcher shop there's different cuts and grades of meat. Attention is the commodity and an attractive person's attention is more valuable.
earlier discussion made me think of a weird idea and question for people, though lets be honest mainly women;instead of having to ghost, leave unread, or block, would people want the option to say 'not interested at this time', basically cancelling the intro and possibly even making yourself invisible to a person, but not permanently adding them to the block list? while its a small sample size of course, did sound like some had a problem of not necessarily wanting to remove someone as an option but simply already having too many to talk to currently. might just end up an unused feature, but maybe not. people would probably take to it better than if you tried talking to them months later after ghosting i'd imagine.
>>34265288it's a spinoff discord from the main one ran by a mod from there that is an angry miserable drug user of a mentally ill woman, who hates men calls them all 'incels' even if they aren't despite hanging around in places that make up that exact demographic, ignore her.
>>34266969Unfortunately I know where I am and so know what the answer I'm going to get will be, but can't you just tell someone that with words?
>>34267578well, you COULD, but people clearly dont.the amount of ghosting is pretty high, but as one supposed femanon said its possible part of it is some people may feel awkward talking to multiple/too many people at once, even if they otherwise might be interested.maybe it would help with ghosting, maybe it wouldn't, but hence the question.
>>34266969>>34267602People would do this and never go back to the list
>>34267439And where can that main discord, actually affiliated with duo I assume, be found?
>>34267828there would be no list though?it would just be putting you back in the 'general population', with a possible delay.
>>34267888I misread what was meant as that women would essentially have another tab besides convos/archived that people would be moved to while men received that message.If there is no delay, men will just message again. If there is a delay, men will just message as soon as they can again. There are a lot of men who message pretty much every single person that shows as available to them.
>>34269068well i mean the second one technically is the point.with the first, yeah that would be annoying but at that point they still have the option to just block (or ghost), so.you would hope i guess the men would get the point, but true many wouldnt. in that way though you could argue its helping as a filter to see which men are worth giving another chance or not.

ok I met a guy I like and I'm in heat because of my cycle how do I get him to show me his penis
>>34278737You marry him and send the dev a postcard as proof?
When you see a local girl that has a high match rate and similar interests and you match exactly what she’s looking for and she just ghosts me as if I’m a useless piece of shit who doesn’t even deserve a response
>>34278737>how do I get him to show me his peniswhy do you women suck at even the easiest of tasks
Why is it that if a girl has special interests it's cute but if a guy has special interests it's cringe?
>>34281648I can't afford to fumble him he's too perfect
>>34282028Honesty tends to be the best policy in the end.Explain (briefly) that you're really interested in him and ask if he'd be open to sexting.If he's up for it, ask to see what he's working with - rephrase as you like.*Be willing to (pun unfortunately intended here) offer tit-for-tat and trade nudes, as he will likely ask to see what you've got as well (not saying you have to, but it only makes sense to be open to sending if you're asking). If that makes you uncomfortable, probably don't ask at all.
>>34282028contradictory advice but i'd just say "i bet your cock looks amazing" and leave it up to him what he does about it
