Gayla — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 00:54:33 +0000

The Post-Divorce Dating Club (PDDC) launched today for divorced, separated or people who have been in a long term committed relationship. PDDC combines both online dating with offline Miixzee’s, seminars, coaching, matchmaking, and post-divorce resources and services to help build a comprehensive support network around individuals looking to move past their divorce. The PDDC was founded by Lee Block, a divorced mom of two, after she discovered the difficulty divorcees encountered when seeking out quality dating partners.

What Does the Length of Your Ring Finger Say About You? About Your Partner?

Gayla — Tue, 31 May 2011 17:53:37 +0000

Years ago, I read of several studies on finger length and personality traits. Several researchers shared their findings that found connections between different finger lengths, aggressive, hostile behavior, fertility, risk of heart attack, and much more.

The folks at Chemistry.com have taken a keen interest in these studies and as a result are including questions about finger size and length in the Chemistry.com Personality Test.

What Does the Term “Cougar” Mean to You?

Gayla — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:23:39 +0000

In a poll conducted by PerfectMatch.com with a poll audience of both men and women, the term “cougar” returned the following results:

69.23% – A woman over 40 who dates younger men
9.18% – Any attractive woman over 40
7.94% – Any attractive woman over 50
13.65% – A Mountain lion?

I never dreamed I would become a woman of 40 that could look at the world through choice glasses. Technology, coupled with The Urban Dictionary, Text Speak and iPad Autocorrect errors – it’s hard to say just how many terms single folks of any age will end up with.

Which would you rather be? A Cougar or a MILF? Or is there some other term I might have missed?

Some of the dating sites I mention or list on Date1411 are not a reflection of my personal preferences – I am committed to presenting the best of the best to my readers – so for those of you who wish to find a Cougar or MILF to date or hookup with — we recommend:

Beautiful Baby Dating Service – For People Who Want Beautiful Babies

Gayla — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:15:57 +0000

The controversial dating website www.BeautifulPeople.com, known for only allowing beautiful people on its site, recently, launched a virtual sperm and egg bank for anyone who wants to have beautiful babies.

Interestingly, the new service appropriately titled ‘Beautiful Baby Service’ is not just available for the members but is also an open invitation for anyone who wishes to have a beautiful baby.

About starting yet another controversial trend on their website, site’s managing director, Greg Hodge, said in a statement:

“Every parent would like their child to be blessed with many fine attributes, attractiveness being one of the most sought after. For a site with members who resemble Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Angelina Jolie you can imagine the demand."

Hodge went on to add, "There are no financial benefits for us in doing so – we are simply responding to a demand for attractive donors.”

Founder defends the launch of new service
Some people might have not liked the idea of creating virtual sperm and egg bank for people who wants to have beautiful babies.

Interestingly, the new service appropriately titled ‘Beautiful Baby Service’ is not just available for the members but is also an open invitation for anyone who wishes to have a beautiful baby.

However, BeautifulPeople.com founder, Robert Hintz, does not agree as he believes that this new service will allow “even ugly people” to bring beautiful babies into the world and there’s nothing wrong with that.

“Initially, we hesitated to widen the offering to non-beautiful people. But everyone — including ugly people — would like to bring good-looking children into the world, and we can’t be selfish with our attractive gene pool,” said Hintz.

Trend ethically wrong and potentially dangerous for the society?
The founder of exclusive dating website for beautiful people, Robert Hintz, might not agree that his company is starting an ugly trend.

The critics and watchdog groups, are busy, disapproving the new trend started by the controversial dating site and are calling the new service ethically wrong.

According to Dr. David King of the watchdog group Human Genetics Alert, “It’s the symptom of a very dangerous tendency in our society, a eugenic tendency I think. I think the outcome, if we allow that to go forward; will be very dangerous for our society."

However, a cultural anthropologist, Jean Smith, believes that there’s nothing wrong with the new service.

"BeautifulPeople.com is doing what people are doing anyway, which is securing what they believe to be the highest level of genetic material they can, to ensure the best chance of success for their offspring.

"This service makes it easier for those who subscribe to the same ideal of beauty as those of ‘Beautiful People’ to find donors whom they perceive to supply appropriate genetic material."

Match.com Celebrates 15 Years of Romantic Introductions

Gayla — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:44:02 +0000

This week, Match.com is celebrating 15 years of helping singles find love online with survey results confirming their position as a leader in the industry.

Match.com recently completed a study of 11,000 people over a five year period, which concluded that one in six marriages took place between people who met through an online dating site. That comes out to 17% of couples who married during this period.

The Chadwick Martin Bailey study on online dating trends looked at three areas: Marriage, Online Dating, and a General Survey.

“The world has changed,” said Greg Blatt, CEO of Match.com. “We get married older, we work longer hours, we move around more, we’re generally busier. These changes have put pressure on the way we traditionally have met our significant others. Luckily, with these changes has come an increasing openness to doing new things. Online dating has grown so much in part as a response to these societal changes, having become the third most important way we meet our significant others, even though it didn’t even exist 15 years ago.”

Match.com launched on April 21, 1995. The original membership was only $9.95/month. Currently a one-month membership to Match runs $34.99. According to Match, more than 20,000 singles register on their site in the U.S. every single day.

The Match Online Dating survey conducted by Chadwick Martin Bailey shows a definite shift where more singles are meeting their spouses online than at bars, social clubs, and churches or places of worship.

The Match study also revealed that members have gone on twice as many dates as members of other online dating sites.

Match launched Match Mobile last year and recently added an Android application to their service offerings.

Today, everyone knows someone who has met a romantic interest online. Do you?

In fact, I met my love of over a year online – my mother and stepfather met online and have been married for 10 years. I know it can happen, because I’ve seen it and lived it!

Ashley Madison Launches in The Outback

Gayla — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 13:49:07 +0000

The online dating service that outraged America has opened for business in Australia and apparently the women are relishing the temptation.

Weeks into a "soft opening" with no publicity or advertising, Australian women have adopted the Ashley Madison agency motto – "life is short, have an affair" – with an enthusiasm founder Noel Biderman says he’s not seen before.

With the official launch of an Australian version of his online dating service for married or attached men and women, Biderman – defended his controversial venture.

"Marriage is looked at as this institution that never changes but that’s just nonsense," the married father of two said.

"It’s really only fairly recently that you chose your partner or married for love and one of the consequences of that is this rapid and high divorce rate we’ve seen throughout the world.

"Ultimately, the institution is always going to keep evolving and when something is not in our DNA, and monogamy is surely not in our DNA, then you can’t help but wonder if it’s on its last legs.

"I wouldn’t have 5.5 million members if I wasn’t doing something right."

"Rather than take a look at themselves in the mirror and wonder what’s gone wrong in their relationship that would lead a partner to stray, people have fired off emails accusing me of being responsible for the breakdown of their relationship.”

Biderman said 40,000 Australians so far had joined the agency, which he started in Canada in 2001, fusing the two most popular children’s names at the time to come up with AshleyMadison.com.

Membership is expected to grow to more than one million once a provocative television, billboard and online advertising campaign kicks off, he said.

The agency is free to join and works much like other dating services.

Users buy packages of "credits" for between $49 and $249 that enable them to interact with other users by way of a virtual wink, smile or rose.

Biderman said men and women joined for different reasons.

"I think ultimately for men it’s about sex, this is about an absence of sex in their lives or sex being too ‘vanilla’ and they’re looking for different flavors," he said.

"I think with women it’s a bit more complicated, to be honest with you.

Some women were looking for the "lifestyle benefits" that might accompany the mistress status, while others wanted to continue being objects of desire, Biderman said.

"They’re not being brought flowers anymore and they’re not being paid attention to so they’re looking to rekindle that feeling," he said.

Biderman maintains the odd taste of illicit romance need not be the deal breaker it’s made out to be.

"People who are happy in a monogamous marriage, that’s incredible," he said.

"I’m just suggesting that the world over it seems to be that tens and tens of millions of people are not happy, at least when it comes to their sex lives.

"They’re not necessarily willing to leave their partners, they’re just looking for something on the side and maybe there’s nothing wrong with that."
