How We Find Like-minded People to Do things With

Why Is It So Hard to Find People to Do Things With?

In a world more connected than ever, many still struggle to find genuine, like-minded friends to share experiences with. Studies from the American Psychological Association show that nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. report feelings of loneliness, a trend mirrored globally.

Whether it’s starting a new job, relocating, or recovering from personal challenges, millions face the same problem: they want real connection but don’t know where to begin.

Social Platforms Aren’t Solving the Problem

While social media and dating apps were designed to bring people closer, many users describe them as isolating, performative, or overwhelming. These platforms often fail to help people build authentic friendships rooted in shared interests.

As one former tech worker shared:

“After a round of layoffs, I found myself craving community again. But the platforms I turned to weren’t designed for people like me. They were either focused on dating or just didn’t lead anywhere real.”

That’s Why We Built Owting

Owting was created as a response to this gap, a platform designed to help people make meaningful, in-person connections. Instead of endless swiping or surface-level groups, Owting helps users:

🌟 Discover real-life activities and shared interests
🤝 Connect with both new and old friends
🎉 Plan things to do that feel natural, fun, and aligned with your energy

With roots in community, technology, and wellness, Owting empowers people to turn “we should hang out sometime” into real plans, whether it’s a hike, a museum visit, or just coffee in the park.

Join the Movement

Loneliness isn’t just a feeling, it’s a public health issue. We believe that connection is a basic need, and the tools to make it easier should exist.
