a social network for couples. my married friends complain that they feel like hermits, because it's hard to meet other couples to hang out with.

you'd have a shared profile, which is matched with other local couples with similar tastes in movies, music, food, whatever.



Could work for singles too. Instead of a dating site that matches people to each other, it matches people to fun activities and events. Send a bunch of singles or couples to Cocktail-making or salsa dancing class and they've got a common ground to talk about and can still enjoy even if they don't find someone.


I thought this was the basic premise for meetup.com ?


that's definitely true.

though part of what i like about it is the idea of two people using a computer together. the internet is so bizarre in that it connects you to others who are far away, but simultaneously isolates you from folks who are nearby.


> my married friends complain that they feel like hermits

I'm a hermit, and I never feel married. There's something fundamentally unfair about that. :)
