How do I meet the right person for me when dating apps just show me random people and never try to understand who I am or what I want?
That question, asked by millions of us, is what Koiji was created in order to answer.
Over six years, the Koiji team developed a matchmaking questionnaire that reveals to us how you think and why you have the opinions you do. During our research, we understood that compatibility doesn’t just lie in having shared opinions. In fact, we learned that two people can be incompatible despite sharing a number of opinions in common.
This is because the most important determinant of compatibility is in the reason you have for holding the opinion you do. For instance, a religious and a non-religious person can agree on a large number of issues but for entirely different reasons. If two such people had children, they’d agree on these values being instilled in their children but when it comes to telling the child why these values are important… that is where the incompatibility would be glaringly obvious (if it wasn’t obvious already by that point). Even without children, the why will come up time and time again. It will either create harmony or bring about disharmony.
Most of us understandably don’t know how to determine our compatibility with other people. Often, we’d think about shared hobbies and values, to which there is usually a vague description of a generic nature e.g. honesty, loyalty, and so forth. To address this, Koiji does the hard work so you don’t have to.
Every single Koiji member has to answer all of our questions before being visible on the app to other members. This enables us to determine your overall compatibility with every other member, and in each of our four categories: morality, politics, relationship and personal matters. Our members can explore each other’s answers to these questions and begin their love stories with deep and meaningful conversations. Koiji is the opposite of the dopamine-hitting swiping apps which are ruining everyone’s mental health.
When we created Koiji, we realised that other apps were not designed to solve the aforementioned problem. To the contrary, they were created to profit on your misfortune. Check out the below diagram. Sound familiar?
The cycle goes round and round again. Before you know it, you are older and still single but with a few failed relationships. You’ve tried all the dating apps and are exhausted from dating random people only to repeatedly get hurt and repeatedly find out that you’re not compatible enough with the people which you have dated. You wonder to yourself ‘where is s/he?’ and ‘how will I find them?’.
The mainstream dating apps don’t just profit on this circular problem; they engineer it. Koiji was built to be something different entirely. It was built to find you your person in the least amount of time possible. That’s why it took us six years to create the science which underpins our app. If you want to upgrade your love life, let us do the hard work for you so you can enjoy your life with the right person.
