Looking for new friends? Looking for the opportunity to find people like you?
We have developed a brand new system to help you do just that!
Here's How It Works :
1) You start by taking a quick, completely free test here
2) We work to match you with your group of people who are going to be very similar to YOU. Not "we all like hiking" similar, but similar to who you are as a person
3) You are given access to your new online community of people where you can make new friends!
And that's it! You will never be charged anything, there will never be a paywall, and you can stay completely anonymous**. We don't need to know who you are! Want to know more before trying us out? No problem! Just click the lines at the top right of your screen. Already ready to get started? Great! You can take the test here!
(** Please note that to take the test you will need to provide a working email address. It doesn't need to be your personal one though. If you want, please feel free to go create a new one real quick just for this!)
Could you be doing better in the friend department? If so, you're in good company. And if you're looking for new friends, we have developed a new system which can help you find people just like you who are looking for the same thing.
Loneliness has become a significant problem in the United States. Recent studies and surveys put
about one in five people reporting that they were "frequently" or "always" lonely, with some age
groups upwards of three in ten. In addition to that, one in two adults are reported to be living
with measurable levels of loneliness. The problem has become so pervasive that in 2023 the
Surgeon General identified it in a report
[1]
as a significant public health crisis, which could be compared to
obesity and smoking in terms of the negative effects on people's bodies and minds. It has even been
associated with a higher likelihood of premature death, comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily.
We get it. The prospect of interacting with new people can maybe seem risky and possibly even overwhelming. It can
be incredibly easy and tempting to withdraw into isolation. The important thing to remember is that while this world
can definitely be difficult, going at it alone is even more difficult. We're wired to socialize, whether it's on a small
scale or a larger group.
By not using that portion of our minds, it begins to atrophy like any other muscle, and becomes harder to use.
One study [2] even showed that the human brain
can shrink with social isolation.
Even if someone isn't physically alone, and is maybe even surrounded by other people, they can
still easily feel isolated. And that makes sense when you think about it - The people in our lives tend to
be people of convenience. Neighbors, people from work, friends of friends, people that we meet through a
shared interest. We choose from the
people immediately available to us, because we sometimes fear that it will be them or nobody. So
we try to do the best we can with the people that we have.
That is why we have developed a system to help people find the people who they are the most likely to
get along with. To find their community of friends who are actually like them. To find THEIR people.
So why not take a chance? There's nothing to lose, and a lot of potentially amazing things to gain.
