NgajakJalan, Online Dating Website With Guarantee for Women

If you are a single man who is almost frustrated with your failure to ask your crush on a regular social media like Facebook, maybe you are interested in trying the service. Walk. Unlike Facebook or other social media, NgajakJalan was developed specifically to invite the opposite sex. Therefore, NgajakJalan users can be more open to being invited to travel compared to other social media users.

Compared to service online dating websites On the other hand, NgajakJalan has one different feature. This feature allows a woman to ask a man to deposit a certain amount of money to the NgajakJalan site before they can get a coffee or a date. If the date doesn't go well (the guy is unattractive, boring, or disrespectful), the woman can ask for the deposit from NgajakJalan. On the other hand, if the date goes well and is fun, the money will be returned to the man. For men, this deposit feature increases the opportunity to take the woman out as well as a challenge so that they are able to make the date fun. This feature itself is optional, this feature can be activated by female users if needed.

The involvement of money transactions here is also useful to ensure the identity of NgajakJalan users. Because there must be an account number registered for this deposit feature, NgajakJalan can ensure the correct identity of their users. NgajakJalan also opens complaints via email which will be forwarded by blocking the reported user. This email complaint is usually used by female users to report male users who are being rude on a date. However, apart from this complaint, NgajakJalan does not yet have an automated fraud detection feature to detect users who abuse NgajakJalan's services.

NgajakJalan was developed by Thomas Wiradikusuma based on their own needs. Although the front view of NgajakJalan is a little inconclusive, the registered users of NgajakJalan are quite large, around 8.000 people. Like site online dating On the other hand, the ratio of female and male users for NgajakJalan is indeed a little unequal, one in four. Meanwhile, in terms of demographics, the age of NgajakJalan users ranges from 18-35 people and the majority live in Jakarta and West Java. Of these 8.000 users, an average of 3.000 messages are exchanged every month.

NgajakJalan is not only available in Indonesian and English, but also has Chinese features. According to Thomas, this was done because of the many requests from people who came from China who lived and worked in Indonesia. In addition to these advantages, Thomas also revealed that website NgajakJalan has a fast response, mobile-friendly, and simple.

Currently NgajakJalan is still in the beta stage and will still be developed including the development of a matching algorithm developed by integrating with Facebook. Users will also be able to choose their intentions, so users who intend to be "serious", will not be found with users who only intend to "play". A little controversial, Thomas also plans for NgajakJalan to accommodate same-sex relationships.

More and less, online dating websites such as NgajakJalan will be faced with Indonesian culture that is still too shy to open up. Fraud issue online can also be an obstacle for users to use the NgajakJalan service. The deposit feature offered might help, but on the other hand it actually makes NgajakJalan misused for prostitution online veiled.

Coupled with the planned same-sex feature, it seems that NgajakJalan is indeed targeting people who are already "open-minded" in Indonesia. How large the population of Indonesia's open-minded people is, will be one of the determining factors for NgajakJalan's success.
