After seeing some threads it's clear that there are chapos here who need a mentor in the romantic arts (tm). Pitch me your best Q's and I'll spit my best A's.

I've been a professional dating coach and matchmaker for the last 6 years.

edit: Wrapped up for now. Thanks everyone and good luck out there, you can do it!

    How's the pay?

    Do you think there'd be room in the space for an open source worker-owned online dating platform where the matchmaking is done by humans?

      How’s the pay?

      It took a while to build up, but the pay is now great. I charge on a sliding scale, so the clients I have who have a higher income pay more. At this point have built things up to where I'm making ~80k / year before taxes, health insurance, etc. I live in an area with a fairly high cost of living. I'm self-employed so own the full value of my labor and I do not employee anyone.

      Interesting! I love worker-owned tech. Haven't looked into the numbers of what that would be like, but the biggest thing with dating apps is just making sure you have a ton of people on them. They really depend on marketing / the network effect.
