Yes, Making People Think They Might Get Laid Is Still Big Business
from the bow-chicka-bow-bow dept
As standard online dating services see their growth slowing, dating sites that seek to cut out the dating and go straight to the sex are enjoying booming business. But the sites sound more like smoke and mirrors rather than the sexual playground many users envision. Women are outnumbered as much as 11-to-1, and many of the same pitfalls await users as on less sexually-oriented sites: people lying about themselves, using photos that aren't their own and so on. Still, one site has seen its traffic increase 67% over the last year, while Match.com, the most popular traditional dating site, has had flat traffic. The "alluring con", as one user calls it, appears to be working -- but it really isn't too surprising that people are still paying money when they think they might get some action.

Re: Prostitution?
Because you're not paying for it.. Kind of the difference between buying a trophy and winning it, I would think.
I have a couple of buddies who have "enjoyed" adultfriendfinder.. I think they'd all recoil at the idea of hiring a prostitute.
To me the web hookup sites are akin to going to a bar and picking up drunks, not getting hookers.

Auction Site
Turn everyone into a prostitute. Isn't the web all about empowerment of the little guy (or gal)?
Why should skanky crack hoes have all the fun, all those desperate housewives could make some cash with their free time.
Wait, don't tell anyone until I get my patent filed...

The more traditional sites have a rock solid marke
Quite frankly, if you can't get laid using Craiglist - free - or sleazing on down to the local tap with a clean shirt on you might as well bag it anyways, give it up, get you a hobby maybe, collect stamps, whatever, maybe if you're a broad you can collect porcelin poodles or plates, or porcelin plates with poodles on them, poodle-themed porcelin plates.
Probably you can get these on eBay.
Though the more traditional sites are static they have a rock solid market and always will - they're not going out of business anytime soon. There are people who want to find stability and decency and I wish every damn one of them good luck, hope you find you a sweetie.

No Subject Given
Most of the guys on online sites are complete social retards. These guys couldn't get a blowjob from a crackwhore if they were covered in $100 bills. That's the way it will always be. 80% of the male members will get zip, the other 20% will be cherry picking the best females and leaving the fatties for these social inept morons.

Re: Fat chicks
You'd be amazed at the variety of things that turn people on... There are a lot of people (male and female) who only go after people with their preferred physical traits; but physical beauty tends to be less important to women (stereotypically), and some find larger guys/girls actively *attractive*.
Which, unfortunately for you, shows your unfortunate ignorance on the subject. (If you're insulted, look up "ignorance" in a dictionary - there's nothing wrong with it, especially if you are sparked to pay more attention and learn)...
Another example - Many guys fit a particular stereotype and prefer women with large breasts. However, there is a signifiant number of guys (of whom I am one) that subscribe to the theory that 'anything more than a handful is a waste'. We cringe when women get their breasts implanted...
All this to say that your statement is, as I said, rather ignorant. Those who are trying to get laid and aren't should clean up, be themselves, and maybe find a different place to interact with people who want to meet *real* people.
