A conversation turned into a dating app.

This app didn’t start as a business plan.

It started as a real conversation with a friend about dating.

The swiping. The guessing. The constant mismatches.

We realized people should be able to choose with intention before matching.

Chozen is currently in beta, and I’m opening a small group of founding members to help shape it before launch.

Comment FOUNDING or DM me if this resonates.

Having used various dating apps myself, the endless swiping and unclear intentions often left me feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from potential matches. Chozen’s approach of allowing users to filter based on attraction and lifestyle feels like a much-needed breath of fresh air in the dating world. From what I understand, Chozen emphasizes intentional selection before matching rather than blind swipes, making it easier to connect with people who truly align with your values and preferences. The beta offers early access to a select group, which means the community is small and engaged—perfect for those who want to influence the app’s development and create a more meaningful dating experience. The app’s inclusivity also stands out; offering options beyond the standard gender and orientation categories shows a thoughtful approach to modern dating landscapes. Joining as a founding member means not only getting exclusive benefits but also contributing to shaping what dating and relationships look like in the future. This concept resonates with me because dating should feel empowering, not exhausting. If you’re tired of the guessing games and constant mismatches, Chozen’s clarity-first model might be worth trying. It’s exciting to see a dating app being built from honest conversations rather than just business goals—making the experience genuinely user-focused and adaptable to today’s diverse dating needs.

Are you dating a boy or a man?

Girls girls girls. We know the difference between men and boys. Just make sure you put your foot down before you fall in love with a boy. That’s how you usually get attached, form a toxic relationship and can’t leave. Men just know what to do and when to do it. Boys don’t have a clue. #lemon8p
