Christian Mingle body count

Most of you are familiar with the heavy-hitter dating apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble. Some of you might not be familiar with the niche players like Christian Mingle. After looking into them for approximately 2 minutes I realized the app tailored for Christians is part of a portfolio of dating apps. Spark Networks (CM’s parent company) owns SilverSingles (for 50+ years olds), JDate (for Jewish singles), and, my personal favorite… “Attractive World”.

Apparently Attractive World members decide if people can join their community based on appearance. Truly unhinged stuff.

But back to Christian Mingle.

A meaningful data point for some Christians when finding a romantic partner is whether or not someone has been romantically intimate before marriage. This is an important part of the Christian religion, but obviously, not everyone does this. What if, to make things a bit easier when searching for partners on CM, they showed a user's body count?

For those who might be unfamiliar, body count is slang for the number of sexual partners you’ve had.

Of course, verifying this information is basically impossible. However, if people were willing to be honest this would be an insane feature for Christian Mingle or any other dating app.
