"it's like friendfeed for dating". People usually go on dating sites to get laid and/or find soulmates, I don't think need real time dating search will make that happen more efficiently.
- jrockway 17y agoIndeed. I read the profile in the screenshot, and he says he hates describing himself and then decries how people whose profiles he liked weren't actually like him. Well, yeah. If you don't provide any information about yourself, then you are not going to meet people that are like you. I am not sure how "real-time search" is going to solve this problem. (Incidentally, I have started the online dating thing, and I am shocked at how little some people say about themselves. "I like having fun". Wow, let me guess... you have two arms and two legs too!)
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoPeople usually go on dating sites to get laid and/or find soulmates I often wonder if this is why most dating sites struggle: most people who are trying to get laid feel they need to at least pretend they are looking for a mate(1) or else they come across as being too crass. This then leads to mismatch between the "I want to get laid soon" and the "I am looking for a long term mate" groups and both end up unsatisfied. It's for just this reason my gut tells me that OnlineBootyCall.com will succeed. (1) sometimes the unexpected happens and they converge: my wife and I met on Yahoo! Personals about 10 years ago when we were both just looking for a booty call :-)
