Weaknesses

- Lack of profile verification leads to trust issues: 'I met someone in person and they weren’t who they said they were'
- Limited customization options: 'No way to filter by interests beyond basic categories'

Opportunities

- Introduce location-aware event discovery (e.g., 'Meetups near you this weekend') to drive real-world connections
