F.Y.I. some really interesting information in there to read up on :)

Niche Dating sites will be huge ...

"Hitwise reported last week that online-dating sites accounted for fewer than 1 in 100 internet visits, a drop of 15 percent since this time last year."

"Online-dating sites raked in $473 million from American customers in 2004"

I bet this is low.

And there are more tools than ever for users with a common online-dating complaint: They're tired of seeing or hearing from the same old losers.

Hey there let me explain this, YOU are using the same online dating service. So chances are very good you are also a loser. Face it, if you could get a date in real life you wouldn't be looking for one online.

one of my brothers clients at his clinic, she put an ad on a dating site "tall handsome, built, likes the outdoors, blah blah, must make over a million dollars a year"

shes in the pharm biz.

she found the guy. think they are married now

I have a great idea for a niche dating site that will be an instant hit.. might actually develop it some day. As someone said here already, Niche dating sites will be MUCH BIGGER than they are right now.
