Do you have woman email you back with that stuff? I played a bit around with it and I must say it's a bit simple (from an AI standpoint; try negating statements), but it does work well enough. @DaveR: True, but my point was that even if a site gets 10.000 new members per month you will end up with only a couple of them near your city and an even smaller number that you might be interested in. Online Dating is something I would try if I were single, but in my opinion the odds are not any better or worse than meeting somebody at a coffee-shop. It's certainly worth trying, though, as you never know... Good luck with your site! @Dave: Does it actually work on “real” profiles? Do you have woman email you back with that stuff?

My site has just started and we deliberately did not put up rogue profiles, or profiles of people that were just visitors. Slowly, but surely, profiles are starting to be uploaded and more and more people are registering for the newsletter, waiting to see how it goes. Dating sites need to add a bit of a 'personal touch' rather than just be clever bits of software AND you must be able to cancel your subscription immediately.

LMAO! A couple of 1000 people from each US state and you would be rich, in fact 2000 members from ANY state @ $10/month wouldn't be too bad! :-) James.
