This dating app checks the male-female ratio at local bars

The ritual of hitting bars and hooking up at New York nightclubs is getting increasingly high tech.

A new dating app called Weepo allows users to check the male-to-female ratio at a given bar or club before heading out, instead of finding out the hard way after shelling out for a car ride and a cover charge.

Once a venue with a favorable ratio is found, the app allows users to swipe through the profiles of others who are headed there, too, Tinder-style.

After swiping right on each other, a given pair of club hoppers can chat on Weepo as they head to a venue and progress through the velvet ropes, say co-founders Roy Lugasi and Hod Gerlitz.

The big idea, however, is mainly to cut short the prolonged chats that have long plagued other dating apps — ending, too often, with no date at all.

“With all those other apps, you have to go through a conversation where it takes two or three days to meet up,” Lugasi told The Post. “With this app, you’re practically guaranteed to meet somebody tonight.”

After launching four months ago, the app has amassed more than 50,000 users, with 80 percent of them in New York City, its founders say. There are also smaller Weepo communities in Las Vegas and Miami.

“A lot of girls are going to the more high-end clubs” like Tao, No. 8 and Marquee, which typically require stiff drink prices and steep covers, according to Gerlitz.

Young guys, meanwhile, gravitate toward no-cover bars — particularly those with cheaper drinks.

“People who are going out want to get f–ked up and have a good time, and they want to meet you,” Jesse De Leon,26, says. “This app just makes the process a lot easier.”
