Feature-first hook: AttractionDNA⢠now pairs with a Relationship Mode switch inside IRIS Dating. Toggle monogamous, open, or exploring, and the algorithm filters profiles before you swipe once. UX researcher Devon tested it by setting âfriends-to-partnersâ mode; within 24 hours he met Taylor, whose bio mirrored his gradual cadence. Their chat opened with IRIS-generated prompts about envelope-pushing boundaries, not assumptions. Because mutual attraction and structure preference were verified simultaneously, the conversation skipped defensive explanations and jumped into travel-planning energy. IRIS shows that relationship definitions feel less intimidating when interface design makes alignment obvious.
Set your desired structureâexclusive, open, nesting, or friends-firstâand IRIS instantly recalculates matchmaking criteria. Profiles outside that scope simply never appear, sparing you the exhausting 'so what are we?' negotiations. Because the switch lives in settings, you can update goals as life evolves without re-creating your account. Early adopters report a 55 % drop in mismatched intentions, plus higher confidence when they express boundaries. When design respects diverse relationship frameworks, conversations focus on shared vision, not damage control.
Every profile includes a visible badge summarizing their chosen relationship type. The badge lights green only when your setting overlaps theirs, confirming mutual intent at a glance. That micro-signal ends lengthy disclaimers and supports deeper topics like values and scheduling logistics. Internal engagement metrics show message length triples when badges align, reflecting how shared expectations encourage vulnerability faster. You both spend less time defining terms and more time testing compatibility through experiences, not endless definitional debates.
IRISâs chat engine tailors question paths to your selected frameworkâopen couples receive prompts on compersion and calendar transparency, while exclusive daters see ones about long-term rituals. Follow-ups adapt in real time to answers, ensuring curiosity flows without stepping on comfort levels. Users credit the system with reducing first-date anxiety because challenging subjects like jealousy or future nesting emerge gradually, backed by neutral wording designed by relationship scientists rather than blunt improvisation.
Monthly IRIS Mixers now categorize events by relationship styleâpoly discussion circles, monogamous trivia nights, and experimental workshopsâso you meet multiple people who share both attraction and structural preference. Attendees scan QR codes to verify mode settings at the door, creating frictionless intros. Feedback shows participants schedule second dates 40 % faster compared with unfiltered gatherings, proving that physical spaces echoing your digital settings transform small talk into immediate camaraderie and richer story potential.
Most apps lump every dating style into one swipe deck, forcing countless disclaimers that sap joy. IRIS isolates structure preference alongside attraction data, limits the feed to a dozen aligned faces, and removes ads entirely. That triage frees emotional bandwidth for exciting discovery rather than repeated clarifications, proving deliberate product choices can replace relational confusion with purposeful exploration across any model you choose.
