urCoterie

Hello, friend.

My name is Jerry Alex Corona and I’d like to welcome you to urCoterie.

What is urCoterie?

urCoterie is a platform that helps you find and connect with people who share your interests, values, goals, and other commonalities.

I’ve come to realize that we all have groups of friends that we hang out with depending on the situation. For example, we have:

• Friends
• Work friends
• School friends
• Childhood friends
• Drinking friends
• Family friends
• etc.

We also have things in common with some friends that we don’t have in common with other friends. Sometimes I’d like to go do certain things with some friends but can’t because I know they won’t enjoy it. We’ll both just be uncomfortable (because I’ll know they’re not having as much fun as me). And vice versa.

I’ve also noticed that the best friendships and relationships are stronger depending on the similarities. Let’s look at three examples:

1. A match made in heaven. A couple that have been dating for a bit. They’re both avid readers who enjoy curling up on the couch with a good book. They always agree on what movie to watch and what food to order. They understand each other’s need for quiet time and respect each other’s boundaries.
2. An unlikely duo. Two friends that have known each other since high school. Despite their different personalities, they have remained close over the years. One of them is a bookworm who loves to immerse himself in fantasy worlds while the other one is a party animal who likes to stay at the bar ’til last call. 
3. A perfect pair. Two friends that love gaming for hours. They have the same taste in games and always play as a team. They know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and complement each other’s skills. They also share a passion for pizza and always order their favorite toppings. They have a blast every time they hang out.

This is an oversimplification, but can you see how the more things we have in common with our friends, the more we are inclined to comprehend and have more fun with one another?

Why join urCoterie?

This was how the idea of urCoterie began. I want to be able to connect people across the world through interests, values, goals, and other commonalities. For example, you can find and chat with people who:

• Love the same books, movies, music, or games as you
• Share the same hobbies, passions, or skills as you
• Have the same beliefs, opinions, or values as you
• Pursue the same dreams, ambitions, or goals as you
• etc.

I’d like for us to connect without geographical borders, race, sexual orientations, religions, and other biases. Let’s not let those things get in the way of potentially strong and long-lasting friendships.

Let’s get to know one another for who we are, not for our appearance, possessions, location, nor identity.

I will continuously be upgrading and updating this platform to improve it. Please message me for any recommendations that you’d like. I’m working on an algorithm to match people based on shared interests.

Again, thank you and I hope urCoterie helps you find your next coterie.
