Flowers Outperform Social Media for Dating, Says Blogger Krindushkin
The Shortcomings of Social Media Dating
According to ХВИЛЯ: In a recent discussion with political analyst Yuriy Romanenko, blogger Andriy Krindushkin criticized the modern approach to dating on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, calling it largely ineffective. He pointed out that many men receive no response when they try to initiate contact with women through these apps, highlighting a common frustration in the digital dating scene.
A Floral Approach to Making Connections
Krindushkin advocates for a more traditional method: using a flower delivery service to make an introduction. His technique involves having the courier obtain the woman's contact details to deliver a bouquet, which contains his own phone number. The blogger claims this strategy works because the recipient, curious about the sender, is prompted to make the first contact herself. This approach, he argues, avoids the clichéd pickup lines like 'you're so beautiful' that many women find tiresome.
Furthermore, Krindushkin proposed a startup idea for a platform where men would pay to send each message and women would be financially compensated for their replies. He believes such an initiative could appeal to many Europeans seeking to meet women, quoting him as saying:
"Any European would say: 'Oh, I'd gladly pay $500 to meet a girl there'" (Andriy Krindushkin).
This concept reflects a growing trend of monetized social interactions online.
Krindushkin's efforts represent a search for novel pathways to successful dating in the contemporary world. While online dating is ubiquitous, its results often disappoint. His flower delivery tactic suggests a desire for unconventional solutions that might better suit both men and women. The proposed messaging startup, with its financial incentives, could also open new avenues for those seeking partners in the digital age, though it raises questions about the commercialization of romance.
