In the vast and competitive universe of dating apps and social networks, finding authentic connections is becoming increasingly difficult. But one truth repeats itself over and over again: the strongest relationships are born when we share genuine interests. At Xder, we don’t just create chance encounters; we facilitate deep connections based on real and meaningful affinities.
It’s not about matching by age or location, or even superficial tastes. It’s about connecting with people who share your values, passions, and ways of seeing the world. That’s why at Xder, we’ve designed an experience centered on shared interests as the core of human connection.
Why Does Connecting Through Interests Work?
Research confirms that the most lasting relationships often emerge between people who share values, personal goals, or deep passions. This emotional foundation allows for richer conversations, greater empathy, and a natural sense of familiarity from the very first interaction.
Xder is built on this premise: compatibility goes far beyond the visual or the casual. Here, the heart of connection beats to the rhythm of your passions.
Key Benefits of Connecting Through Interests:
Natural conversations: You already have common topics before you even start interacting.
Higher engagement: People tend to get involved more quickly when they’re talking about something they’re passionate about.
Less initial friction: Breaking the ice is easier and less forced.
Stronger relationships: Sharing interests strengthens trust and emotional cohesion.
The Xder Interest Finder: Your Gateway to Authentic Connections
Geographic proximity plays a key role in forming real and practical relationships. At Xder, the central tool is the Interest Finder, a powerful engine that helps you discover like-minded people based on your passions. It’s not just a simple list of hobbies—it’s an affinity system that organizes profiles according to their real interests, enabling precise and personalized searches.
How does it work?
The Interest Finder is designed to be intuitive and efficient:
- Enter keywords like #hiking, #urbanPhotography, #bookClub, or even combinations like #vinyl #Madrid.
- Use advanced filters to find people nearby or with specific interests.
- Receive suggestions based on your profile and recent activity.
This system not only helps you find new people but also allows you to explore communities and spaces where you can join conversations that truly matter to you.
As Revista Merca2.0 points out, “platforms that enable meaningful growth for brands achieve a seamless connection with receptive audiences” — and the same is true with Xder.
How to Meet Users by Interests on Xder
Once you’ve found people who share your interests, the platform offers several ways to interact with them:
1. Interest-Based Profile Highlight
Each user has a clear and visible section on their profile where they can showcase their main interests. This not only makes it easier to identify affinities but also invites conversations without needing to ask “What do you do in your free time?”
2. Direct Chat Based on Matches
When two users share common interests, they can connect directly through private chat—without intermediaries or mandatory groups. It’s a fast, safe, and direct way to start interacting.
3. Interest-Based Events and Activities
Xder is planning to soon integrate a local events feature, where users can discover activities related to their interests: workshops, concerts, themed walks, book clubs, exhibitions, and more. This functionality will make moving from digital conversation to real-life meetings easier than ever.
Proximity + Interests: A Winning Formula
Smart geolocation allows you to filter users who not only share your interests but also live nearby. This makes Xder a powerful tool both for making new friends and for building romantic relationships with people in your city or neighborhood.
For example:
- A user in Barcelona interested in graphic design can meet another designer who lives just three streets away.
- A jazz lover in Santiago can connect with someone who attends the same music venue every week.
This mix of interest and proximity not only increases the chances of continuity in the relationship but also reduces practical barriers to meeting in person.
Groups Are Useful… But Not Mandatory
Although Xder offers interest groups inspired by Telegram dynamics, these are additional options—not the only path to connection. You can use them to expand your network, meet more people, and participate in enriching discussions, but they’re not required to find an authentic connection.
Advantages of groups:
- Space for group interactions and playful dynamics
- Ability to lead communities and create collaborative content
- Access to community-coordinated events
But we also recognize that not all users want to participate in groups. Some prefer direct contact, while others just want to chat with someone who shares their love for cinema or photography. That’s why, on Xder, groups are one option among many—not a requirement to connect.
I’m not a fan of groups, but I love that I can find people with the same interests without having to join one. It’s like Xder already knows what kind of person I’m looking for.” – Sergio, Madrid.
