DiyDate, DATING BUILT FOR DOERS DiyDdate is the dating app for people who'd rather bond over doing things than a canned opening line. It's DIY dating β€” skill-based matchmaking for makers, tradespeople, and hands-on hobbyists β€” with profiles built around what you actually do, so the connection starts before the first message. HOW WE KEEP IT REAL Most dating apps turn you into an endless scroll of faces with nothing real to say about them. DiyDate is built differently: we match you on skills and interests, not just a good angle, so you already have something to talk about. Here's how: ● We start with your skills, not just your selfies. Post what you're good at β€” farming, baking, electrical, plumbing, home improvement, whatever your craft is β€” with photos and videos that show your work, not just your face. ● We match on what matters to you. Tell us the skills you want a partner to have, and we'll introduce you to doers who actually fit, not just faces in a feed. ● We give you real things to talk about. Every profile comes with a Work Stack β€” real projects, real photos, real β€œfinished building the greenhouse” energy β€” so your first message has something to respond to besides β€œhey.” ● We ask what you're really here for. Working on projects together, learning new skills, meeting a partner with skills, swapping skills, or just having fun and getting stuff done β€” set your dating goals and we'll match you accordingly. ● We're built for hobbyists too. Whether it's woodworking, gardening, or fixing up an old truck, your hobby is the hook β€” no bar small talk required. DiyDate is a niche dating app for makers, crafters, tradespeople, and doers who'd rather show you what they built or accomplished. Don't just date β€” get stuff done.

About

Two Chairs

One match. Every Thursday. On purpose. Not a queue of forty waiting behind them. Not an algorithm optimising for your next session. One person who genuinely preferred you. HOW YOUR WEEK WORKS A small drop of real people arrives midweek β€” a handful, not a feed. You watch. You listen. Then you quietly choose who stood out. Your picks stay private; nobody sees who you chose. Thursday evening, one match is revealed β€” someone who chose you back. SAY IT, DON'T TYPE IT Three short videos, three prompts. No bio to agonise over and no posed photos β€” just how you actually talk. You see how someone moves and laughs before you ever decide. Personality, not a filter. It's the difference between reading a bio and being in the room. WHY ONE Because attention doesn't scale. Forty matches isn't forty chances β€” it's forty half-conversations and nobody you actually meet. One is few enough to take seriously. A week with a beginning and an end gives a connection your full attention, then hands the rest of your week back. ROLLING OUT CITY BY CITY We open one city at a time, so there are real people to meet rather than an empty map. If yours isn't live yet, you can join the list from inside the app. SAFETY Every profile and conversation includes reporting and blocking. Reports are anonymous and reviewed. You can delete your account, and everything in it, at any time from your profile. Two Chairs is free while we roll out.
