Matthew Lawrence claims he matched with Rumer Willis on Raya after his divorce from Cheryl Burke. Matthew swears he was only on the app for 3 weeks and dubbed himself 'Father of Dragons.'
I hadn't expected to strike gold so swiftly. There on my phone was a picture of one of the world's best-known and best-looking comic actors – Owen Wilson , no less – blond hair gleaming, cheeky smile just as appealing as it is on any film poster.
I was in my mid-40s, solvent and with a reasonably glamorous job in PR, commuting between the Cotswolds and London. If I had to do so, I'd give myself a seven or eight out of ten. Highly datable, I thought to myself smugly, and the first place I intended to land was Raya, the sunlit grass-is-greener uplands of every middle-class divorcee.
The majority of men were dauntingly good-looking, except for those who were clearly super-wealthy and/or successful, says Anna Boyd Once on Raya, it works like any other dating app, via an algorithm, where professions, preferences and interests are taken into account. The profiles of other members pop up for you to like and then reciprocate. Or not.
I paid for the basic membership – £19.99 a month – where you can only view around 25 members at a time. If I liked someone, they also had to like me in order for us to match and vice versa. Then, ideally, we'd make contact. This happened a few times, but it was nothing more than an ego boost , because what was I supposed to do next?
