Building a new social network is incredibly difficult, even for the largest of companies, and it’s next to impossible for the smaller ones. The only way to do it is to have a neat little quirk that draws people in and keeps them, such as Snapchat’s ephemeral messaging, or to cater to a specific group of people. A Chinese company by the name of Xianrou is trying to do the latter, and with a name that literally translates into Fresh Meat, I’m sure you can imagine what kind of people it wants to cater to. Xianrou is basically just a regular dating service, except its employees review everyone who applies for an account in order to make sure they’re attractive, that way you’ll never be disappointed when you secure a date through the service. However, the catch is that you have to be attractive as well in order to create an account.
