Don Mr. is the first dating app built for men, designed by men. The app provides a unique cultural exchange platform that connects American men with women in Perú, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile. Our research and insights show a high degree of compatibility and high dating affinity between these two demographic groups. Don Mr.'s users are only able to see the profiles and interact with users from Flaca, the corresponding dating app for women in the aforementioned Latin American countries. Don Mr.’s users will not be able to see and/or interact with users from the same app, aside from the Advice Forum, on which users can elect to participate. In a time when there are diverging perspectives on gender expression, we want to redefine American masculinity through a Latin American perspective: by providing cultural tips on poetry, music, cuisine, and travel that strengthen conversation topics and create compatibility. Unlike other dating apps, Don Mr. discourages mindless swiping and instead gives the user a brief 10-second pause after sending 10 likes. During the brief pause, the user is presented with a cultural tip on Latin American poetry, music, travel, and cuisine. These tips will strengthen the Latin American cultural knowledge of the American user, which will facilitate the conversation topics for interaction with potential matches from Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. We have a manual moderation system that is supervised daily by members of our team. Don Mr.’s users can block or report profile cards throughout their app experience. At Don Mr., we are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment that facilitates connections between American men and women in Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. We believe there is a strong dating affinity between the two demographic groups, and we aim to bridge the cultural gap through the features of our app. The app requires a monthly auto-renewing subscription of $6.99 per month. We offer a 7-day free trial. Subscription lasts for one calendar month.

Dua plans dates you'll both love. For couples who've been together a while and have run out of "what should we do tonight" answers. Dua is your couple's date planning utility — an AI that learns what you both enjoy and proposes plans you'll actually want to do. HOW IT WORKS → Tell Dua what you're up for (mood, energy, budget, area) → Get a personalized plan with real venues, timing, and reasoning → Propose to your partner, who can accept, counter, or decline → Plan lands in your shared calendar automatically WHAT'S INSIDE - AI-powered date plans — Real venues with real reasoning, not generic "have dinner" suggestions - Partner Echo — Bidirectional proposals where either partner can suggest, counter, or accept - Memory Loop — Dua learns from your feedback ("we loved this place") and gets sharper over time - Surprise & Reveal — Plan a date your partner sees only on the day — for anniversaries and special moments - Shared calendar — All your plans together, with full detail and locations - Bilingual — English and Traditional Chinese, designed for Singapore and Taiwan WHY DUA Most couples apps focus on questions, quizzes, or therapy modules. Dua focuses on the practical problem: it's Saturday afternoon, you want to do something together, and neither of you wants to scroll Instagram for two hours looking for ideas. Dua proposes. Your partner accepts, counters, or declines. You go on the date. Done. PRICING Dua is free to download. Free users get 3 AI plans per month each. Premium unlocks unlimited plans, counter-proposals with venue search, and advanced surprise reveal features. One subscription covers both partners — following the standard couples-app convention. Dua Premium: USD $9.99/month or USD $59.99/year (~$5/month effective). 7-day free trial on annual. PRIVACY Your couple's data is private. We don't share it, don't sell it, don't train AI on it.
