Categories and Entries Explained
Think of categories as the entries of a book: the book of you. From the opening spark of first impressions, to the pull of attraction, to the places that shaped you, each category adds a new layer to your story.
Why Categories Exist
Categories exist so that your story doesn’t come out all at once. They create a rhythm, almost like scenes in a film: self-awareness, chemistry, memories, connections. Each one highlights a different angle of who you are, which makes the experience richer and more alive than a static profile.
Entries as Story Arcs
Every entry feels like a mini-episode. You might start with an opener that’s easy to share, then move into something more personal. Piece by piece, you’re creating an arc that someone else can step into and follow. It’s storytelling in motion, letting people see you in ways that feel natural and layered.
Why Gradual Unlock Matters
We designed categories to unlock gradually. The next category only opens once you’ve written at least three entries from the previous one. Why? Because the best stories build over time. Instead of binge-dumping everything on your profile, each unlock gives you space to add more without feeling overwhelming. For readers, it creates anticipation. For writers, it keeps the act of sharing exciting like unwrapping parts of yourself slowly.
And for those who want to go deeper, taken categories like Attraction & Chemistry, Views on India, and Sex & Intimacy unlock richer layers of storytelling and connection. These are designed for when you’re ready to share more, with people who’ve already earned their place in your story.
A Writer’s POV
From your side, categories give you clarity. You know exactly what kind of vibe you’re writing into whether it’s playful, flirty, or grounded. And it’s about balance: giving people just the right glimpse of you before it turns into a first date. Along the way, you often catch pieces of yourself you didn’t expect to put into words. And here’s the bonus: the more you express, the smarter HumansHere gets at bringing you better matches. Your stories, quirks, and moods help the app connect you with people who’ll actually get you.
A Reader’s POV
For readers, the experience is just as layered. First Date Things are visible on “For You”, those are the first glimpses that spark curiosity. But everything else? That’s private. Only your matches get to see the other categories. Because your story is sacred, and you should decide who gets to read more of it. Once you match, you can dive into each other’s entries - start a conversation with them, or let them shape your first date. Suddenly, it’s not about asking “what’s your favorite color?” you’re talking about something they’ve already chosen to share, straight from their book.
