i have met a number of dates on Craigslist and MYSPACE. They are free.

guess how many i met on the sites that charge? 0.

dating is fantasy, just like any other product in adult. the payoff is that the consumer gets a month of believing that they "could" meet someone.

i'm not bashing dating proggies, just giving you an opinion from someone who knows how to play the game.

i think that the playing field in the dating community has been established and that you guys are offering a great VOD software for producers that you should focus on.

dating traffic is not the volume that adult porn traffic is by a long shot either.


just my honest opinion.
Exactly, some of the older first dating sties still have real profiles. But you cant sell someone something that is fake. They will pay iniaially and not rebill.
