1shouhaopai — A Chinese dating App for folks in North America — A note from the founder — Millions of Chinese people live across this continent. Their options for a decent Chinese dating platform have been thin for years. So I built this. For a while I had a "real" job and this was just a side project. Eventually the brain cells couldn't keep up and a lot of features fell behind — to everyone who kept waiting, I owe you an apology. Then AI happened, my day-job manager genuinely had no idea what he was doing, and I rage-quit. Now I'm full-time on this. A few things matter to me: Sincerity first. Dating is something to do in the open. Just say honestly who you are and what you're looking for. Being indirect won't make you more attractive. Being real will. Doing this for everyone. Helping Chinese folks in North America find a partner is, in my view, a pretty cool thing to do. Every feature is free for now — I'm carrying the costs myself so you can focus on what matters. Everyone equal. Regardless of gender, age, income, orientation, or background, every member here gets the same experience. No "men pay, women don't." No "elite tier." No insider cliques. What you can do in the App: • Post a card (挂牌) and pick others' cards (摘牌) • One-on-one DMs — text + photos • 相亲角 — city-scoped public chat rooms, one per city, up to 66 people More coming. We'll take it slow. And tell me what you think! Reach me anytime: help@1shouhaopai.com —— The Chinese Dude
