Match.com for couples

Slow down there, chief. It's not what you think. Yeah, I do want to get couples together, but not like your dirty mind is thinking. Pervert.

I just realize it's hard for couples to meet new people. Maybe they can meet other couples, but it's hard to really expand that social circle. So the idea here is to expose couples to other groups, couples, and singles who might be engaging in similar activities. It's just a way to get hangout buds together. Maybe there are parties they can go to. And it could put them together based on how well the group would get together, not just two individuals. And since they aren't going to be together forever and ever (it would really only be a few hours) the service doesn't need to be nearly as accurate as the dating sites. Hooray for lowered standards!

I know of a couple services like this, but not ones that cater to couples.

Some people don't have trouble making friends and could do without the internet. Well great for them. Jerks.

I feel like this post is halfway between Aught Empire and Stuff White People Like.

You know, how white people like dinner parties and such? This idea is ways for couples to find compatible dinner party guests, when they're looking for a couple that's into mountain climbing to mesh with their other guests who are into spelunking.

And, like 90% of stuff on Æ or SWPL, it's great.
