Pure is an application for dating sexual partners. It was developed by Russian entrepreneurs Roman Sidorenko and Alexander Kukhtenko. The idea of how the Pure application works came up with them back in 2012.
Story
About 400,000 dollars were raised to create it. The Pure dating app was distributed under the slogan “Sex is here and now.” It is noteworthy that the main adviser to the project is sexologist Carol Queen. In Russia, the application appeared in the fall of 2013.
According to official data, more than 1,000,000 people have downloaded the Pure app in 1 year. The greatest user activity was noted in the largest cities of the country - in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan.
About use
The main idea of the application is a quick search for a partner for intimate communication. According to official Pure app reviews, it should be like calling a taxi through apps. All that is needed to start the search is to upload your photo. And this will be a ready-made application for the meeting. It will be valid for 60 minutes, and then its automatic removal will follow. Together with it, in the Pure application for Android and IOS, all correspondence and the photo itself are deleted.
Searches for partners are carried out within a radius of 50 km. At the same time, according to reviews, the Pure application has an excellent geolocation service. When mutual sympathy appears, a general chat opens. It is he who retires after 60 minutes.
Criticism
The creators of dating services have spoken in favor of the idea that Pure will not become popular. According to their reviews, the Pure app will not be of interest to girls. The thing is that such a format is common for men, but not for girls. And over time, the gap between the number of male and female applications will increase. In the user reviews of the Pure application, there is a note that everyone who did not attend the meeting, gave their own photo or offered intimate services will be banned.
Comparison with analogues
It is believed that this service has no direct competitors. All other dating services are not sharpened for such a quick acquaintance. They gather an audience that expects a more serious relationship.
In reviews of the Pure application, many indicate that other services are constantly imposing paid services. At the same time, there weren’t much alternatives for dating before the creation of Pure. And it was she who decided the question of finding quick sex. There are no long correspondence, because the chat exists only 60 minutes. In addition, the goals of each person are extremely clear.
Among the advantageous differences between applications and dating sites, the fact that there is no need to scroll through many profiles is noted. There is no need to say hello many times. You need to know that at the first launch the application gives each male person the right to 5 applications. They will be valid for 7 days. While girls use the application completely free. Each application lasts 60 minutes. In this case, the search is carried out at the closest distance. Thus, unlike other dating applications, the possibility of "dead people" is excluded. In addition, there is no way to find a person in Pure when he himself does not want it. After all, the application is deleted automatically, and no trace of it remains. Also, the application can be deleted directly in the process at will. And here you do not need to create accounts by tying your phone.
According to reviews, there will be no unnecessary conversations in the Pure application. Here people meet for a specific interest, and as soon as the sympathies coincide, the conversation begins “on business”. There is a built-in opportunity to share your location in order to agree on who will come to whom.
Previous Features
Previously, the functionality was expanded here, and as soon as the person proposed to meet, there was no turning back - if the answer “NO” came, the session was closed, because the main task of the service - the meeting - was not completed. If the answer sounded “YES”, then the information was opened. At the same time, after the meeting, the application asked, "How was it?" If you liked everything, then the rating of the person in the application increased. If several times a person did not come to a meeting, then he was banned.
But it should be noted that now there is no such system.
Reviews
Those who used the Pure application in Moscow in their reviews noted that about 300 responses per day come to female applications. At the same time, a profile may be blocked for violations of the rules, and the creation of new applications in the application will become impossible.
According to women's reviews of the Pure app, the contingent here is quite interesting compared to other dating apps. Of course, no one can guarantee the accuracy of the profiles posted here. In the photo in the Pure application, quite interesting men appear.
The functionality of the application allows you to organize meetings to establish your personal life. It gives confidence that the person on the other side of the chat will not be a pensioner living in a distant city.
So, for example, on many dating sites men underestimate their age. They may come across low-quality photos in which men in terrible sunglasses are standing in the forest with a stern face. In Pure, it should be noted that this does not occur.
Many note that the idea of this application is very interesting. This is a separate niche - an application for easy dating and intimate relationships. Here has its own separate ideology - less words, and more work.
Men's reviews
At the same time, some men noted that it can be difficult to arrange a meeting with a girl. But there are those who have not seen this difficulty. So everything is in the hands of the user himself. It is noteworthy that the application gives hints when a person has no mutual sympathies for some time - for example, “maybe change the photo?”.
Many note the fact that there are more men in this application than women. Since it is free for women and paid for men, someone tries to trick themselves by registering a female account and putting male photos there. This is immediately visible and hardly works. Moreover, moderators are available in the application and perform their work properly, blocking such profiles. At the moment, a monthly subscription for men costs about 1,400 rubles.
About tips
Men who have been very successful using the application are advised not to invent non-existent regalia. It makes no sense to try to seem bigger than it is. You should not try to be a joker if a person in life is melancholy. The thing is that in a live meeting this will turn into disappointment.
It also makes sense to be courteous, to be careful with your interlocutor, coming up with ways to cheer her up. In communication, it is important not to take, but to give. And then the answer comes even more.
It is also important to have the dialogue right. It makes no sense to put pressure on the girls, trying to knock out a meeting. Girls usually run from this.
A man should write first. It must be remembered that female persons at first respond in a monosyllabic manner. They receive a lot of messages, which are often the same. But the man has the power to melt this ice.
Women about Pure
One of the users notes that few people need only sex. And for the most part, people are looking for emotions, excitement, which are possible only with personal interaction. At the same time, even in a personal meeting, getting rejections of intimacy is unpleasant for anyone. On ordinary dates, at least there is an opportunity to convince yourself that the meeting did not result in anything due to the fact that the goals are different. But when meeting through Pure, everyone’s initial goal is clear. And the only reason why an intimate relationship at a personal meeting may not take place is the lack of sympathy, attraction. And it can hurt your pride.
In addition, sex can interest absolutely any people, and not just the most beautiful men and women. And the choice among the average, ordinary people in the photo can be difficult. There will be an impression that "there is nothing to choose from."
Application users note that in life, a large role is given to looks, smells, touches and other forms of interaction. An attraction is already formed from them, and a person becomes attractive or not. Not only appearance is important, and you can easily be deceived by the photo. When live meet 2 people who have already agreed on an intimate relationship without seeing each other, the outcome can be very painful for self-esteem of any of them.
One of the men notes that the business model of the application was not fully thought out. The thing is that girls and so easily find how to spend time in the evenings. And they’re unlikely to go to search for partners for sex without seeing them in life. And in the absence of girls in the application, the interest of men in him is lost. After all, sitting in it no longer makes any sense.
Rumor has it that, having realized this, the developers have created many women's profiles. They were entrusted with the role of maintaining the interest of men in the application. Female accounts flirted without meeting anyone. But from the reviews of the girls it follows that the same situation in the application arose for them. Seeking meetings, they stumbled upon the disappearance of men in the process of dialogue.
For this reason, there is reason to believe that real people are sitting in the application who sometimes cannot agree with each other.
About Pure and Feeld
Thus, Pure is a standalone application that is distributed through a paid subscription for men and free for women. Its mechanics is the limited time of chats with interlocutors. Initially, the rules of use included a clause according to which, communication after sexual intercourse is unacceptable. Having met somewhere in a public place, sexual partners who find each other through Pure should not say hello or give out a special connection between them. In this way, anonymity in the application was to be ensured. It was supposed to be a kind of analogue of Uber. The only difference was that users are not employees.
The probability of different motivation in the application was completely excluded. It should be noted that the consciousness of not all Russians allowed to fully realize this idea. For many, this concept did not fit into the picture of the world. At the moment, you can see that the application is used as an analog of dating applications.
The idea, which seems successful to someone, but not to someone, has led to low user activity. Probably, the directness of such a system frightens many, and the need to pay scares others away.
At the same time, the search for a suitable partner for sexual contact through the application is possible. If everything is organized in the right way, a person will have no phone, no contacts on social networks, or a partner’s name.
Pure analog
A very similar idea is implemented by the Feeld application. The main purpose of its use is the search for sexual partners. It also searches for couples for group sex. In the mechanics of the application, it means that you can specify individual sexual preferences when searching for partners.
Friends from social networks are hiding for privacy. This application is more like a dating site, unlike Pure. At the same time, experiments were embodied here. At Feelde, there is no need to tackle the here and now. There is an extensive selection of sexual orientations - there are about 20 of them.
Conclusion
It should be noted that both Pure and Feeld are aimed at organizing live meetings after meeting. According to reviews, they cope with their task. But a lot depends on the individual characteristics of a person, his behavior, manner of communication and photographs. This explains the difference in reviews of dating apps. This fully applies to the Pure application. People who have had a good dating experience speak positively of him. But if a person has problems communicating with the opposite sex, then he will be inclined to speak negatively about dating applications.
