Lystn brings personality back into online dating, allowing you to listen to people’s voices before you see their pictures.
PERSONALITY FIRST – FOR A HAPPIER EXPERIENCE
------------------------------------------------------
Virtually all major dating apps today have an intense focus on looks. How can you possibly show your greatness in a few pictures, nor see the inner beauty of others? It can even make you unhappy; research shows that picture-focused dating apps can lower self-esteem and increase odds of depression.
Enter Lystn, a new relationship app which brings personality and happiness back into online dating. We have built the Lystn experience around voice, because we believe that the best way of making real connections is by speaking up. Create your own audio recording and introduce yourself like you would on a real first date. Spark your curiosity by listening to others.
By the way; we know that looks matter, too, so don’t worry – you’ll get to see pictures as well. You just need to listen first. Because love might just be in the ear.
HOW IT WORKS
-----------------
1) Create your profile in minutes
Signing up and creating your profile is easy. Enter your basic information, a few smashing pictures, and – importantly – an audio recording where you can introduce yourself like you would on a first date. You can even add a subtle background sound to spice things up a bit.
2) Browse through profiles in your area – and listen well
Being a good listener is important. Therefore, when browsing profiles, we require you to listen for 20 seconds before you can see their pictures or like them. If youre not feeling it, we wont hold you up though; you can move on to the next profile at any time.
Feeling Zen? Switch to Zen mode, a completely audio-focused experience where you listen to peoples audio introductions complemented with subtle meditative background sounds.
Like someone by swiping right or pressing the "heart" button. Move on by swiping left or pressing the "next" arrow button.
3) Chat with your matches
When you get a mutual match, Lystn lets you chat and connect further using text and audio recordings.
