When we sat down trying to write this and describe ourselves, we found that the
term
anti-loneliness activists fitted us quite nicely! Our mission,
through the medium of this web-site and other means, is to assist people make
connections with others. It is that simple.
In this modern world, even though we have many conveniences, our lifestyles are
often immersed in jam-packed routine that is not very conducive to making relationships.
To combat this affliction, we felt it important for
people to have free access to a resource like this website where they can mimic
their real-life relationship-seeking efforts on-line.
Loneliness
Loneliness is a scourge. There is no milder way of putting it. Most
of us have felt its cold suffocating hands at some time or other, in any of its
multitude of disguises. At times we have wished there was someone that we
could simply talk to, someone who would understand. At times we have felt
a strong attraction to someone and not found the strength or means to express it.
At times we have felt a strong sexual desire for someone and walked away feeling
totally miserable. At times we have endured deep suffering just because we
felt that we had to maintain a relationship that was only taking and not giving.
At times we have felt we have found the love of our lives but ended up spending most
of our time unhappy -- emotionally drained, sexually deprived or without inner peace.
The human psyche is indeed a complex thing.
All is not lost however. Today, we have very powerful means of communication
at our disposal, unlike our forefathers. We can broadcast ourselves to the
world at large, in many different ways, the internet being one of the most
accessible. There are millions of 'dating' and social-networking sites which
help people connect in new ways. However, we found that all such web-sites
have certain short-comings, in that they are rarely able to project our real-life
personalities or cater to our true aspirations. Most of the time you also end up parting with ridiculously
large amounts of your hard-earned money in the process. It is a very complex task to try
mimic the workings of the human psyche with a computer program.
Real-life simulation
For example in real-life, however repugnant the notion may sound, most of us have
different 'profiles' that we project to different people! We find the idea
of 'branding' a person with a single profile ridiculous. Every person is a
cauldron of kaleidoscopic qualities, exhibiting different facets at different times
to different people. In figwire.com we enable you to create multiple profiles to mimic this. Then
in real-life we do not go through pages of profiles and choose from them.
In fact, we do not even look at those who do not fit exactly what we are looking
for! Hence we built our searches to reveal only those that match what we are
looking for -- and who in turn are looking for attributes that we possess.
In figwire you have very little chance of finding someone who is not actively
looking for you at the same time! Hence the chances of your not getting a reply to your messages
are minimal, as they possibly could be, provided of course,
that the profiles of both parties are a sincere representation of what you are looking
for.
There are no hundreds of unsuitable 'matches' to deal with here. Instead you just
spend your valuable time, refining your profile or profiles -- in terms of what
you are and what you are looking for. These are just 2 examples of the kind of real-life
environments that we try to simulate on our site. This is not a business of ours,
instead it is a service that we provide to you. We provide you with the tools,
so that you can exercise and hone down your own unique brand of dating and relationship building skills. You create your own online persona, limited only by your
imagination!
Isn't that a wonderful thing?
We welcome volunteers and their ideas to this project all the time -- that is the only way that
we can keep this running. You are already helping us by reading this and would
definitely be helping more by introducing your friends to this site.
Thank you for visiting figwire.com!
