Jaeron"Jay" Cooper and Howard Edwards of Houston created an online dating app, Wingr, that aims to cultivate a more natural connection and allows friends to be matchmaker.Two Houston men are trying to change the dating app experience by letting your friends have a hand in selecting your potential soulmate.in January 2022, which is named after its matchmaker feature called"Wingr mode" that allows friends to set their friends up with potential matches.
"You’ll match with somebody and things will go nowhere," Edwards, 32, said."One of the issues we have with these apps are that a lot of the nuances get lost in translation. They’re not able to hear your tone.""It’d be the same thing: 'hey. What’s up? How are you doing?' And it wouldn’t be much to go off of that," he said.
"Our goal is to help communication flow easier regardless if you’re looking for somebody for casual communicating or something serious," Edwards said. . Previous Pew Research Center studies about online dating have also shown that the share of Americans who have used these platforms – as well as the share who have found a spouse or partner through them – has risen over time.Marcus Richardson, 38, says he now prefers Wingr opposed to Bumble.
