While Tinder or Skout solve a few of the problems women face with online dating; Being harassed with lascivious messages from anyone and everyone, there is still an issue of privacy that fails. That risk of not being nearly as anonymous while looking for a mate as one would hope is what inspired Seattle’s Susie Lee to create Siren. What sets it apart from every other dating app is that it keeps a woman’s picture private until she deems it appropriate to share with a possible mate. As Seattle Times notes, a lady can peruse the profiles of men at their leisure and if she is into a guy’s answer to questions like what their three magic-lamp wishes are, she can then show him her picture. The idea is to give ladies the control here.
Access is fairly locked down at the moment. There are around 1,200 current users and you can only get in if you are living in grunge-music’s birthplace and have an iOS device. Also, it is more restrictive because it lacks options for anyone with other than heterosexual preferences. Lee says that despite the app’s abilities, though, if you use it like any other dating service and focus on shallower interests like how handsome a mate is, you are likely to remain sleepless in Seattle. In reality, who even thinks about going through another break up?
