Just skimmed and will come back to go more in depth later...want to honor your openness around this topic, it's something me and a lot of guys definitely have on our minds and struggle with too, so appreciate your genuine story here. More to come, stay tuned...

Yo! Okay a few questions andreflections...

(1) It's wild that they're saying 1/6 of the dates are turning into "marriages" (LOL)! Do you believe that number? Do you know of anyone else using this? Have never heard of it but looks like exactly what we need. I'll be abroad for a bit but if I was stateside would sign up instantly

(2) How much is the payment to them if you get "married"? Wasn't clear to me.

(3) How did you end up staying with an Amish family? This is awesome. I love seeing other perspectives on life the Amish definitely have something figured out / they're being slower to "lose" what our society seems to have lost (slowness, connection, etc.).

(4) Agree with the artist the apps are totally addictive. My experience using them is I have met some really great women and they do "work" in some sense but I have always felt like a worse person while on them and like a monkey constantly pulling the lever (aka opening the app)

1 - I would like to talk to someone who has been successful with it. I’ll ask Wes.

2 - According to Wes it varies, he asked me not to disclose the exact price they quoted me so I put 1X,000

3 - I stayed with the Amish via the Amish BnB website. It’s a chapter in my book

4 - dating apps in general seem wildly inefficient, even if you pay for premium. Maybe 1 in 10 or 15 dates results in long term. Not sure the numbers on this.

Keep in mind that keeper is not automatic. Once you get through the long intake it’s 1-6 months to get a match. Not sure the average but I’d gets 6-8 weeks from starting the process to first date

When keeper.ai posts a bond to pay users' divorce losses in full, I'll listen closely to what they have to say...
