"Choros takes the cognitive burden off of planning and matches people based on personality compatibility, not just common interests. Try it out! It’s a unique way to meet people."
John

"It’s a much more tailored experience. I meet new people while still running into some of the same dudes I enjoyed hanging with before. There is a personal touch. Go for it. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll have stuff to do and cool people to hang out with."
"There's nothing like this for guys. Choros gets to know you right off the bat, and gets to know you more as you attend events and provide feedback. It saves time and frustration by offering highly-curated opportunities for friendship and socializing."

"Making friends in your late 30s, early 40s can be awkward. Choros bridges that gap for me and made it surprisingly easy when you do put in some effort to attend activities. Come to an event and give it a shot. Like anything worth doing, you need to step outside your comfort zone and just show up. Be yourself, meet others who are very much like you, and see what happens. There’s absolutely nothing to lose if you’re looking to make new friends. "
"The best part so far has been meeting new and interesting people I probably wouldn't have crossed paths with otherwise. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to meet new people, share experiences and build friendships."

Mclean, 37

"The best part has been the ease of activities being coordinated, combined with the interesting people I’ve met so far. The smaller group setting is really ideal for getting to know one another best."

“Joining Choros transformed my life from having only a couple social connections to feeling like an important part of a great community. There's so many fun activities on the app that I can count on it to fill my calendar without the effort of trying to get plans to make it out of a group chat.”

"Modern male friendship is like a hostage negotiation where both parties pretend they don’t care if it fails…Now finally there's an app that recognizes this is exactly the kind of thing guys (self included) fumble IRL over and over again…. It’s not just the activities, it’s the work that goes into each set-up. Like someone kept asking, 'What would make this feel less like a forced playdate and more like a real, mutual choosing?' You can feel the care in the app and it comes through in the initiations and follow-ups. It’s like Emma (the concierge) herself is rooting for you, saying, “Hey, it’s okay to want closeness. Let’s build it, one goofy group hike at a time."

"I moved to Northern VA (with my wife and son) with bold hopes but no guarantees of building a new community of friends. Choros helped to make that process easier than I could have imagined. It took all of the friction and anxiety out of the process of meeting people with similar hopes and interests. Now, Choros has not only helped me to build comfort in the community, but it's my go-to as I continue to meet, have fun, and grow with amazing guys.”
