March 25, 2025How ThursdayNight’s Matching Algorithm Creates Lasting Connections
March 25, 2025In a world where digital connections often overshadow face-to-face interactions, loneliness has become an increasingly prevalent issue. At ThursdayNight, we believe that human connection is vital to a fulfilling life, and we’re on a mission to transform lonely Thursdays into evenings filled with new friends, engaging conversations, and unforgettable experiences.What We DoThursdayNight organizes weekly dinner events that bring together groups of strangers for a night of connection and camaraderie. Our platform is designed to foster meaningful interactions by carefully curating groups based on personality traits, interests, demographics, and even zodiac compatibility. Whether you’re a young professional, a digital nomad, an expat, a newcomer to a city, or a retiree looking for companionship, ThursdayNight offers a unique opportunity to build genuine relationships.How We Do It
- Sign Up and Profile CreationThe journey begins with a simple sign-up process on our website or app. Users provide basic information such as their name, email, birth date, and a unique username. From there, they complete their profile with additional details like their country of origin, current residence, languages spoken, age, and food preferences.
- Personality AssessmentTo ensure the best possible matches, users take a comprehensive personality test. This test includes questions that evaluate traits such as openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability. This information helps us understand each user’s personality and preferences.
- Subscription PlansUsers can choose from three subscription plans to participate in our events:
- One-Time Test: $15 for a single event.
- Monthly Plan: $27 for unlimited events for one month.
- Quarterly Plan: $39 for unlimited events for three months.
- Algorithmic MatchingOur sophisticated matching algorithm takes into account users’ profile details, personality test results, zodiac signs, interests, and location to create the most compatible groups. The algorithm actively refines these pairings up to 24 hours before the event to ensure the best possible matches.
- Event NotificationOn the day of the event, users receive a notification with an overview of their group members, including zodiac sign, professional background, language, and nationality. The exact location and time of the event are disclosed on the day to maintain an element of surprise and excitement.
- The Dinner EventParticipants confirm their attendance through the app and gather at the specified location for an evening of great food and even better company. The dinner includes ice-breaking activities to facilitate conversation and ensure everyone feels comfortable. Each participant pays for their portion of the bill using provided QR codes, simplifying the payment process.
- Post-Event FeedbackAfter the event, users provide feedback on the location and their group members. This feedback is crucial for continuously improving our matching algorithm and enhancing the overall user experience.
