How to Organize and Host a Virtual Speed Dating Event on Filteroff (Step-By-Step Guide)

Hi everyone, my name is Zach Schleien. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Filteroff; a video speed dating app, we focus on face-to-face interaction as our core tenant. Filteroff has been featured in notable publications like The New York Times and the BBC.

‍

Are you tired of struggling to meet people? Have you found swiping apps to be impersonal, frustrating to use, and overall just not a good way to form lasting connections? If so, you are not alone. These are some of the most common complaints of current singles and online daters.

‍

Filteroff was created to change all of this for a better dating future. No more awkward dates with people where you have nothing in common. No more struggling to connect with people online before you meet in person. Filteroff has grown tremendously over the pandemic and I’m excited to share the future of video first dating to everyone.

‍

Filteroff Makes Speed Dating Fun and Engaging

‍

Hearing the words speed dating might make you cringe. In-person dating has the tendency to be really awkward, feel rushed and impersonal. These are all similar qualities of a swiping app. When paired with a lack of common ground, dating events can feel like torture for singles who attend them.

‍

I created Filteroff because I was exhausted and unsatisfied with bad in-person first dates. In order to change for the better, I started asking my matches if they’d be open to video chatting prior to meeting in person. As a result, Filteroff came about. Speed dating on Filteroff offers you the chance to video chat with many people during each dating event. You can choose to match or pass on the person that you have just met.

‍

At the end of the dating event, you will be able to see who decided to match with you. You can then choose to message these matches, or you might want to meet with them on a video call that can double as a virtual date.

‍

Filteroff dating is unique as its centered on making lasting connections that aren't possible using other dating apps or sites. Singles are paired in speed dates with people that they already share important bonds with. Common interests like goals, religion, personal beliefs, and jobs can be factors that lead to a match on Filteroff. This allows for more durable and instantaneous connections from our speed dating events.

‍

How Does Dating on Filteroff Work?

‍

When joining Filteroff, start by creating a profile and taking a survey. The survey is how the app knows the important things about you. These factors determine how matches are made. They also decide the unique way questions are asked on Filteroff which leads to real connections instead of superficial ones. Other dating apps match people based on age and location. In many cases, we understand that this isn't enough to form lasting bonds. This is why Filteroff's goal is to create real connections and to provide the chance for matches to not only start out on good, solid footing but to also last.

‍

Prior to Filteroff, many single daters try to build a connection over text. However this may not be easy for everyone. When texting, it’s really easy to fill in the gaps and possibly make assumptions about that person without hearing or seeing them. This is how things can get lost in translation. With video dating, the pressure is lower and singles are more at ease to vibe and see attractions before meeting in person. Video dating first is also so much more efficient. There is no need to worry about commuting or spending money on dates when you aren't even sure if there's an interest or connection yet.

How to Use Filteroff for Speed Dating

‍

If you're interested in the concept of speed dating with Filteroff, you're probably wondering what speed dates on the platform look like. Filteroff promises rewarding and fun video speed dating in a unique way, but you can also check out these reasons for yourself.

‍

‍

Speed dating events are hosted on the app and site regularly. You will only be connected with matches in these events unless you have chosen to host your own speed dating event. When you host your own speed dating event, you can invite anyone to the event or even make your invite public in other dating communities online.

• Speed dating sessions are kept to 3-4 minutes. There is a timer that counts down the time left in the date, but you will not feel pressured as you chat and connect with one another.

• When the session ends, simply select pass or match. The person who was on the date with you does the same.
• You will get to enjoy up to 10 rounds of speed dates. When the event is over, you can see your matches.
• You will be able to message matches or invite them to video calls to get to know them better.

‍

This is a very simple and fun way to meet people. You can't expect to connect with anyone if you're struggling with video lag or sound issues during a call. So, Filteroff removes the awkwardness related to poor video quality or technical difficulties. One of the key reasons Filteroff video speed dating works so well is because of the video quality that is offered.

‍

Filteroff takes safety seriously and makes it simple to keep your information private as you get to know people. You always have the option to provide personal information to your matches, but you are not forced to do so. This helps our video daters remain anonymous and secure while they use the app. The high video quality Filteroff offers allows daters to connect virtually through the app, and completely removes the temptation for daters to offer too much information like phone numbers. On other dating apps, users feel forced to give out their phone number in order to video chat/communicate easier.

Why Filteroff is a Better Alternative Than Zoom

‍

While Zoom might be a good way to host work meetings and gatherings, it's not ideal to use for dating. These are a few reasons that Filteroff is superior to Zoom:

‍

• Filteroff handles all the dating, matching, and communication for users on their app/site. Everything has been thought of for you on Filteroff. You can enjoy speed dates, community events, and chatting with your matches directly (without giving out personal information).
• On Filteroff, you don’t have to conduct a breakout room to talk to people that you are vibing with. This can actually be awkward for other attendees and should be avoided at all costs. This is why the match and pass method on the Filteroff app is helpful. The ability to invite people to meet up after the event if there is a connection is really nice advanfor this reason as well.
• Zoom will automatically give away your phone number to other attendees. This is not the case in Filteroff speed dates, and you can remain as anonymous as you wish during your dates.
• Organizers can just share the event and sit back. You are not needed for the event to be held, and you do not have to host the speed dating event. Filteroff takes care of all of the necessary work on your behalf. This is a great option for matchmakers who are using Filteroff to host events with clients.
• Filteroff is free to host virtual speed dating events. This means that users or matchmakers can host these fun events and invite people to attend without being charged a fee upfront.
