Profile layer
Values before vanity
Profiles prioritize goals, worldview, interests, and daily life compatibility over empty browsing.
Concept
A dating product with a different starting point.
SamenLeven is framed around depth instead of endless surface-level browsing. The idea is to help people meet through stronger signals: values, life goals, shared interests, and enough structure to move from a match toward a real conversation.
1
Core mission: better matching for lasting connection.
3
Primary design pillars: trust, clarity, and real-world follow-through.
0
No swipe-first product philosophy.
NL
Initial product framing for the Dutch market.
Approach
Three parts of the experience.
Matching layer
Signals with substance
Matching is built around meaningful overlap instead of pure visual ranking.
Conversation layer
From match to meetup
Guided prompts and shared context help turn the first interaction into something useful offline.
Principles
What the product should feel like.
Intent
Less addictive by design
The product should feel purposeful, not built to maximize endless low-value usage.
Safety
Trust and transparency
Clear expectations and understandable profile signals matter more than mystery mechanics.
Compatibility
Shared direction
Long-term alignment is a stronger starting point than split-second appeal.
Outcome
Offline-oriented
The ideal result is not more swiping. It is a better chance at a real relationship.
Roadmap
- Define the core matching and profile system
- Prototype conversation scaffolding and onboarding
- Validate the flow with real users in the Dutch market
- Shape the product into a launch-ready experience
