I read about an online dating site this week where men pay to buy a date with a gal. It’s like ebay for love???? However they’re not wanting to be identified with prostitution?????? Good luck with that…

It is good to see people getting creative about their wedding fotos, rather than same old, same old. I found these during the week, really fun. You can check them all out @ Funny Wedding Photo Session

I understand that if a couple likes each other then the more contact they have with each other the more those feelings will grow, both positive & negative. Familiarity breeds contempt but also concern & love. However it appears that a new study has identified that office romances are not the done thing anymore? These studies do seem to yield results that the researchers want so I am not going to put too much trust in this one either.

I read over the holidays about a recent study that appeared to confirm that people are more attracted to others when they are uncertain of their attraction was reciprocal. This of course then confirms that in the relationship game you may need to be willing to play to experience success. Although my disclaimer is that authenticity will deliver an authentic match, so it may be a fine balance between playing games & being true to yourself?

I have been involved in the online dating industry for over 5 years due to my online matchmaking startup. I have felt quite disappointed in all the tricks & subterfuges that are used by most sites to make money. I determined a long time ago that probably the reason for this is that most sites are founded & run by men. If you’ll permit me to generalize, men usually have different perspectives about finding a mate. And unfortunately their focus is usually on making money rather than seeing people find great matches which to most of these sites means loss of membership & therefore revenue. In the last couple of years we are seeing more women founding sites & female CEOs so hopefully they can turn things around somewhat in this industry. Because if I continue with the generalization, women have a higher priority & instinct for finding mates. And believe it or not offering a great service does not equate to an either/or situation i.e., money or great matching service but can actually bring balance into an industry that is totally out of whack & does not have a great reputation!
