But all those winks, pokes, nudges and swipes are a waste of your precious time in looking for love, according to new dating site Project Fixup.It then asks you to take a simple quiz about your interests, likes and dislikes (see pic below.) But then here’s where Project Fixup diverges from other online dating sites.Co-founders Sarah Press and Jason Skicewicz came up with the idea while in Techstars Chicago this past year.The two beta tested the concept with over 2000 people in the Windy City with what seems to be some good success.According to a study from Matches That Matter, people spend 12 hours a week trying to get a first in-person date.Lots of swiping, clicking and back and forth happens in between and most of that probably never leads to an actual in-person meeting.As they tell it, 95% of members in post date fixup surveys expressed an interest in trying Project Fixup again.The concept is now launching out of beta and into the San Francisco singles scene this week.
We let [SF singles] cut to the chase and spend their time meeting people instead of cruising profiles,” Press says.
