The success of JDate, an online dating service aimed towards matching Jewish
singles, has proven dating sites for niche religious or cultural groups can
actually work. Today, 2RedBeans, a graduate of the Founder Institute, has
launched a dating site exclusively focused on matching Chinese-Americans.
The site has a slightly different twist from most dating sites—2RedBeans
tries to match singles in accordance with Chinese cultural values. For
example, the site’s matchmaking algorithm places special emphasis on unique
characteristics that are possibly relevant to the Chinese; such as date of
immigration, and highest level of education.
2RedBeans, which is currently free for users, also includes live chat
functionality that will suggest chat topics based on the singles’ common
interests. A “Secret Admiring” functionality allows a shy user can to
anonymously “secretly admire” another single. That ‘Admired’ user will
then be notified that they have a secret admirer, and will be presented with
a lineup of different suitors. If they choose the person who secretly
admired them, the two will then be connected and informed of the match.
And apparently 2RedBeans is already having success matching Chinese-
Americans. In the past two months in beta, the site already has close to
1000 users and has successfully matched over 100 Chinese-American couples.
Of course, Chinese singles who are interested in meeting other Chinese
singles can also limit their matches to certain cultures and religions on
sites like Match.com.
