Strange how you can search for 'Men' or 'Women', but not both at the same time...

I have found a Chinese Man 3km from where I live.

I wonder if he's into watersports?

Looks like it's china owned,which explain why somuch users.

Facebook going to pay $20bn for this too ?

It's huge in Asia, especially China. Everyone in China is on it.

Kakao talk is pretty big also, that one is mainly Koreans. Has also 100+million users and Kakao is expected to go IPO next year.

Then there is Line, also mainly in Asia, also 300+ Million users and Viber has close to 300 million as well.

Companies like Line actually make 100s of millions in revenue, because all the kids buy stickers/emoticons.

Sorry, I'm a WeChat newbie. I did not realize that searching for members nearby was solely to facilitate spontaneous liaisons of a sexual nature. A kind of grindr for straight, gay - and bi-curious

Kewl, roll on summer!
