Love to hear some feedback on Party Bot from the HN community

The design was very bad :-)

Cheers. Party with a Local is already launched and is indeed the more serious startup http://partywithalocal.com

Well that escalated quickly. It is a bit of a tongue in cheek, very early-stage, idea and the name definitely divides opinion, but pretty surprised how strongly people feel about it. Despite all the public negative comments here about how unbelievably sexist it is, private feedback has been positive - from both sexes, and in fact more females are signing up on the site than males at the moment... what does this mean?

Apologies, missed that detail when posting.

Good point, there could indeed be more background info on Annika and her knowledge and experience of (guys) fashion.

I disagree. Older guys may have female friends, but I don't know any single friends (including myself when I was single) that ask female friends to go shopping with them - maybe they should, but they don't.
I think it's a pretty big thing to ask a non-girlfriend/non-date to go out on a day shopping with you just to help you out.
Maybe it's a stereotype, but it seems based on fact that a lot more girls enjoy shopping for clothes than guys do and have a better eye for guys' clothes than guys themselves.
Lot's of services with stylists (who are mostly women) picking for clothes for guys & sending them to you in a pack are popping up, like The Cloakroom: https://thecloakroom.nl/en/
The only difference with this is that the guy and girl go out shopping in a city together.
But I also find it curious that the idea draws so many strong reactions - positive & negative. I think the name has an impact.
Interested to hear more thoughts from people.

There are some 3rd party sites offering it for download, we didn't give them permission to, but they are there. If you just do a search for 'Party with a local app apk' you will find them.
