AFF is part of an umbrella organization called FriendFinderNetworks, which you will find at http://ffn.com/ http://ffn.com/ Over there, you will see that the same company runs a number of age/gender/ethnicity specific networks (GayFF, AsianFF) and even a Christian dating site called "BigChurch.com" Also, the nerve.com personals section is run by fastcupid.com, which is also owned by FFN. I think that perhaps a large part of the "ew" factor in this (and many other) threads come from the idea that enough money to warrant an IPO can come from such 'seedy' business as facilitating one-night stands, but in my mind it is quite questionable whether the vast majority of the income comes from the one-night-stand part of their business. In fact, I am willing to bet that it is not. It seems plausible to me that the number of people who simply are not meeting a partner that meets their criteria is on par with the number of people who require one night stands.
