26 May Manes formulated the idea for Mixxxer last year, at a bachelor party in Scottsdale, Arizona
Arguable ineffectiveness of the “shower door” feature aside, the goal, says Manes, is to combined the gamification aspects and clear, streamlined interface of a mobile app like Tinder with the seamy, backpage-ad nature of an XXX dating website like Adult FriendFinder (more info here), with extra user privacy and discretion thrown in for good measure. (For instance, unlike Tinder, Mixxxer limits your location-based matches to within a mile.)
“The women we talked to said they're not going on Tinder to hook up, they're doing it for different reasons,” he says.
