A new dating app called LikeBright has the revolutionary idea of starting a dating app where women feel safe. Taken from an article on npr.com, Founder of LikeBright says
"The only thing scarier than a random grab bag full of dudes who are just aggressively messaging you, is a random grab bag full of dudes who are literally around you,"
The app uses your social network to connect you to your facebook friends and your friends, friends. This narrows the search for love by both location and who you may know.

Many say that Iphone users have more success on dating apps. This assumption is wrong, the OK Cupid study has only proved that iphone users have more sexual partners, and never disuccess the rate of success in love. There are no studies to prove that using the Iphone dating apps compared to any other smartphone will lead to a more successful love life, unless you rate a sucessful love life by number of sexual partners.
We can conclude that there is no phone that is best for finding love and that there is no particular cell phone app that ensures love either. With all that is availbable in the app store, we are simply given a forum to chose a virtual place, an application that fits ourlifestyle.

Technology has simply broadened the platform in which we search for love and lust. Read more on how new generations are finding love on the go, making dating apps the new norm.
