BadOnlineDates.com combines online dating and social networking

By

baddates.gifDesigned to serve as an alternative for those who are tired of filling out generic forms with the cookie cutter answers of who they are and who they are looking for, BadOnlineDates.com is new site which goes right to heart of the matter by encouraging people to communicate by sharing personal experiences. Official launch is on October 18, 2007

It is built upon the foundation that our experiences are powerful reflections of not only who we are but how we interface with others….key in the never-ending quest for finding Mr. or Ms. Right. It is a safe place for people to learn, laugh, grow and, through sharing personal experiences, know, what they do and do not want in a partner.

“I am so excited with the overwhelming response to BadOnlineDates.com but not surprised. Dating is the one topic that everyone can relate to regardless of race, religion, nationality, economics or even sexual orientation,” said Kelton, who conceived the idea for BadOnlineDates.com while writing her reality-based dating and mating book Don’t Use My Sweater Like A Towel.

ViewDate.com – world’s first online speed dating service

By

viewdate.gif ViewDate.com is the the world’s first website to offer online speed dating services. It allows users to see and speak to each other in real time over the Internet, and a full-fledged profile, search and messaging system lets them keep in touch between events.

This new site is currently invitation-only. It is also equipped with a special filtering technology prevents the “meat market” effect where some women are inundated with countless unwanted messages, and an advanced network architecture ensures that the video stream is smooth and uninterrupted.

Connie Jinq, ViewDate’s founder, started ViewDate after hearing feedback from frustrated friends who had tried traditional speed dates and online dating. Both seemed promising, but fundamentally flawed. She realized that these flaws could make meaningful relationships difficult to foster.

“ViewDate is the world’s first website to offer online speed dating services. More importantly, the team at ViewDate has innovated
and worked hard to ensure that we’re not only the first, but far and away the best,” said Jing.

WealthyMen.com: online dating site for gold diggers

By

wealthymen.gifWealthyMen.com is a new online dating site that appears to be designed specifically for gold digging women and guys who can’t score a date despite being rich. I like to believe this is the online reincarnation of the shallow reality TV show Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?

Qualifications? Well, all interested men should make at least a hundred grand a year to become a member. Too bad, you can’t fake it because they use various patented methods of verifying the income, profession, and photographs of their subscribers.

On the other hand, women of all income levels can easily sign up and get a chance to date these rich guys. Just like ordinary dating sites, members need to create seductive profiles and members can communicate on-site and through e-mails.
