On the eve of St. Valentine’s Day I’ve decide to dedicate this blog to the business of love .I’m not talking ”MeLoveYouLongTimeTenDolla”.That’s what Asian prostitutes say . Incidentally, when I was younger I used to wear a jumper that said that, until someone’s mother old me what it meant.
Internet dating is big business these days and apparently not the preserve of weirdoes and phsiopaths .Really ? though I hear you ask. According to Hitwise a market research firm, online dating is extremely popular and here to stay. In fact online dating at times, can accounts for 1% of internet usage. Extremely popular are niche sites that focus on religion, ethnicity, or special interests. My favourite, that I came across this morning was doglover.biz which promises to ” help dog loving sole mates find each other”. Ok evidently there are some weirdoes out there.
Internet dating has been a massive financial success. There are thousands of new sites going live every day. With thousands signing over their cold hard cash in search of Mr/Mrs Right. There are many free online services out there .Apparently your better investing the cash ,to save time weeding out the college students with too much spare time making fake accounts ,purporting to be hopelessly romantic, millionaires, who like foreign travel, read the times and like cuddles. Online dating is relatively inexpensive with sign up charges at around 30 euro for the year. Most sites over a browse before you buy policy. This means you can peruse the quality of their stock before signing up. It’s all just so romantic.
But we shop online, study online talk to our friends why not meet your future husband online. Are we being old fashioned to turn up our noses at the 4Billion dollar industry? I’ve already been to the wedding of a couple who meet on line. Ohhh, I can hear the sharp intake of breath from across the web as you realise I associate with cyber daters. Well do know what, take your nickers out of a bunch Granny, they are totally normally, not suffering from any form of social ineptitude and the wedding was a serious party. People thought social networking sites was the preserve of geeks and cyber freaks when they first hit the internetweb, and sure look were all on them now. I’m turning down an ever increasing number of friend requests from relatives and friends parents ever day. Thank fully I haven’t had to sit down my parents for that awkward chat where I have to explain that we just can’t be Facebook friends.
Ok well I leave you with some ideas for profile headers if any of you feel like giving the move machine that is cyber dating a whirl and making some dating profiles ….
1. You must be over 6″ to read my profile
2. Coffee, Chocolate and Men – some things are just better rich
4. Willing to lie about how we met!
5. I bathe Every Day !
Please let me know if any of you give it a go and report back.
