Schmooze: The New Dating App For Meme Enthusiasts
By Emily Alexander
While there are a wide range of dating platforms to choose from, Schmooze, a new dating app, is taking an untraditional approach to swiping right. Unlike other apps which focus on appearance or shared interests, Schmooze matches people who enjoy the same memes. Users swipe if they like specific memes, and they have the ability to chat under specific memes and start a conversation. Schmooze additionally has an algorithm that builds users a “humor profile” based on the memes that they enjoy, which eventually pairs users to people with a similar taste.
Created by Vidya Madhavan, Schmooze was founded with an appreciation for humor. According to Madhavan, “Humor has been a very fundamental part of my life and relationships. It has made every conversation easy to consume while building a deep connection with the ones with a shared taste of humor.” With this in mind, Madhavan created a dating platform that focuses on making deeper connections in a fun manner. “We put a smile on everyone's face, while also helping people connect at a deeper level,” Madhavan said. “Using the modern currency of humor, Meme, we create magical human connections.”
According to their website, Schmooze has had over 2.5 million memes swiped and over 100,000 matches created. People who are interested in trying Schmooze can download the app from the app store.
