GirlsAskGuys is a digital community closing the gap between genders by bringing them together to help each other. Girls and guys of varied backgrounds discuss a wide array of lifestyle issues ranging from dating and relationships to fashion and health, by sharing their experiences and opinions to help the opposite sex understand their own [1] Since its inception, GirlsAskGuys has been featured on several outlets including Forbes,[2] Huffington Post,[3] Mashable,[4] Business Journal. Killerstartups,[5] CrunchBase,[6] KSDK,[7] and St. Louis Post-Dispatch.[8]

There are three additional versions of GirlsAskGuys in other languages: KizlarSoruyor.com, a Turkish version launched in 2011; EllasSaben.com, a Spanish version launched in 2014, and then, most recently, in 2015 ElasSabem.com was created, a Portuguese version for Brazil. In September 2013, the company raised $1 Million in its first funding round to grow its presence in Latin America.[1]

Overview

GirlsAskGuys community is like an experienced, trusted and anonymous best friend of the opposite sex, where users feel safe and comfortable asking for feedback and opinions, no matter if it is personal, embarrassing or just something they’re curious about. The two main features are able to ask questions to get opinions from people from the opposite sex and share "myTakes", a way to share experiences without having to ask a question.

Upon subscription and through site participation members earn Xper Points, which later can be redeemed for gift certificates or other exclusive features. Xper Points also allow members to advance levels, called Xper Levels, which is an indicator of member activity and experience.[9]

Top users are awarded Editor status where they can create articles, as myTakes, with rich media embedded to give power users an advanced way to help the opposite sex.
