About Fewer Better Dates
What this is, what stage it's at, and how the city guides get made.
Fewer Better Dates is an early-stage project testing demand for a different kind of dating experience: a small, structured number of introductions over eight weeks instead of an open-ended queue of profiles to swipe through. Right now that means a founding waitlist and a set of city dating guides, not a working matchmaking app. We're building the case for it, city by city, before we build the product itself.
Who publishes this
Fewer Better Dates is published by Gesmine-Invest Limited, a UK-registered company (company number 14120136). Waitlist signups are stored to understand where interest is strongest and to contact people once founding memberships open. See our privacy policy for exactly what's collected and why.
How the city guides are researched
Every figure in a city guide (population, single share, median age) comes from a named, dated public source (national statistics offices, census data, or credible published research), shown inline with a link. We only publish a city once we have real, sourced material to back it up; several cities we looked at (Edinburgh, Chicago, Los Angeles) aren't published yet because we couldn't find a clean, citable city-level figure for one of the required stats. We'd rather leave a city out than guess.
The "best ways to meet people" section in each guide lists real, currently-active local organisations (running clubs, volunteering groups, community meetups) rather than generic advice, checked at the date shown on each entry.
