Why men can only join Sunday through an invitation by a woman

With Sunday, we have set out to create a safe space for people looking for long-term relationships. Sadly, the biggest threat to such a space is men looking for short-term relationships, or hookups. Here's how:

If we were to look at the Indian society, by and large, across ages and genders, here's what we would concur on in terms of which gender is looking for what

All MEN

All WOMEN

How matchmaking works

Think of all the matchmaking platforms you know - Amazon's e-commerce biz, Google (search), Uber - all of them work on the same fundamental premise - a match can be made if and only if both sides of the platform converge on a single point in terms of what the user wants.

• Amazon - the seller might have the best chair in the world but you wouldn't care about it if you didn't want a chair.

• Google - you're searching for online courses; any other search result is meaningless.

• Uber - you want to go to Delhi, there are 1000 drivers near you none of whom want to go to Delhi - you end up without a ride.

Extend that argument to the heterosexual dating scenario, and unless both the man and the woman are looking for the same thing, there's no scenario in which the outcome is a stable match. Examples:

1. Man looking for a hook-up and woman looking for a long-term relationship: A range of scenarios ensue ranging from the woman figuring out his intentions in the first interaction to the man getting what we wanted.

2. Man looking for a long-term relationship and woman looking for validation: More often than not, she gets what she wanted and he's left high and dry.

3. Man looking for a long-term relationship and woman looking for a hook-up: Maybe she gets what she wanted, but he definitely doesn't.

While these scenarios are oversimplifications, you get the idea - no one's happy unless they are looking for the same thing.

But how does that make men the 'biggest threat' to stable matches?

Well, in an ideal scenario, they're not. But this world ain't ideal - far from it, and in this world, people, and especially men, lie about their intentions.

Needless to say, the men who would need to lie the most are the men looking for hook-ups, and when they lie, they ruin the experience of women looking for different things, which is most women. And those women, tired of the empty & soulless experiences, in turn ruin the experience of the good guys, who probably would have been great matches for those women. Puff!

Imagine a nightclub that allows stag entries - the men without any women would be happy, and most couples would be unhappy. It's pretty much the same here - allowing men looking for hook-ups on the platform is bound to make most 'serious users' unhappy.

So what's the answer?

With wokeism and nazi-feminism losing prominence, we believe the world is reverting to being a place where women care about one another. And in a place where women care about one another, the best judge of who deserves to find place on a platform that allows access to women are women themselves.

This, on the platform, manifests in the form of a feature that limits access to the app to men unless they are invited by a woman who is a user of the platform.
