Introduction
Why ProSocial?
Let me introduce myself! My name is Alex Lang. I have lived in Arlington Heights for the past 10 years and I recently created ProSocial because I care deeply about friendship and community.
I decided to try ProSocial with this Facebook group because almost every time I was explaining the concept of ProSocial, inevitably someone would say, "This is perfect for the AH Moms Facebook Group. There are always moms posting on there, asking to get together with other moms in the area."
​​
Clearly, there are a number of moms who desire more opportunities for friendship in their lives. The question you might be asking is why should you use ProSocial rather than simply responding to a random post on Facebook?
​
ProSocial's algorithm groups you with people with whom you're likely to have a lot in common so that you form a deeper connection. In fact, our first trial with Fitness 19, Arlington Heights, produced excellent results.
​​
My goal is to help you find friendships that will enhance your life. When you signup for ProSocial, not only will you have the opportunity to create amazing friendships for yourself, but you'll also be helping other people find friendships because your feedback will help shape the way we develop the application.
The App
What is ProSocial?
ProSocial is an application that is designed to help people find friendships. Rather than swiping through profiles, ProSocial matches users is through a social psychology theory developed by experts in the social sciences. The algorithm matches people in groups of 4-6 and sends them out to socialize in real life. The best part is that ProSocial is 100% FREE.
