One-Option Meetup App

The lonely and computer-addicted are beset by too many choices when they go to change their ways and venture out into meatspace. Find a meetup group, try a new or old hobby, take a class of some sort, plan a party...?

This website solves this problem by giving you *just one choice*. You put in some basic information: city (for location-matching), interests (check a few of a list of checkboxes), vetting info (credit check or invitation required), and commitment to pay a reasonable, discounted fee for the evening's activity. Then you click the magic button on the site. An hour later (once enough other people have signed up too), the site then recommends a single event, starting at a normal after- work time, that you could do.

The site is run by a for-profit company, which makes money by getting a referral bonus from the places it recommends.

The likelihood of fun is increased by the site/company playing host/matchmaker and trying to put people together into interesting and compatible groups.
