Social decision making is what the breakup vote team calls it, and though it seems like an odd concept, there is a some life lesson psychology behind the whole thing;
“I found that all the dating advice I got from friends and family was extremely biased. They were obviously going to lean in my favor, especially in a tough situation like a breakup. Which meant, to me, I wasn’t getting the best advice” says breakupvote.com founder, Andrew Pennington.
Thus breakupvote.com was born, the blog allows users to submit small posts to the front page of the site, describing their relationship woes. Other users then submit votes in a simple stay together or break up fashion, by clicking a whole or broken heart vote button.
“The idea of breakupvote.com is to supplement the decision making process, give people in tough relationship situations an idea of what the masses think the best thing to do would be. The public has experienced, in most cases, the exact same situation users of our site are in, and would be happy to provides some insight” says Pennington.
The blog is already starting to build a sense of community, as many users have already opened up with requests for advice, while others seem to be eager to provide experience based tips for love trouble. Some users have even ventured to say that boyfriends that like to play video games have a special gene.
As people begin to take to the web for every little detail of their life, social decisions making blogs like breakupvote.com will stand out. They re-create that personal aspect of group communication that tends to be left behind with mass adoption of electronic communication.
So next time you find yourself a little blue, you might want to ask your mom for advice, or you may want to use a site like breakupvote.com, and ask the entire world. It may not be everyone, but now it is an option.
