User Reviews For The Online Meat Market
from the been-there-done-that dept
Consumer reviews, like the ones found on Amazon, have proven to be a useful way for users to find and get opinions on books, DVDs, and electronics. So it's no surprise that several companies want to extend the idea to potential dates. On these sites, which mainly seem to target women, users can point out which men on internet dating sites are actually married, or whose pictures don't resemble the uglier reality. One problem is that these sites seem mainly focused on attacking people, as opposed to talking them up (seems there's some selection bias at work here, good matches are more likely to stay together after dates). Maybe a site should borrow from the Epinions model, in which reviewers get paid if their recommendations lead to a connection -- "BravesFan1254 was a great kisser, would have worked out if I hadn't left for law school".

Leading to more lies
Then the women (wanting to get paid) can lie for the men who are already so pathetic they have to lie to get a date.
News Flash...most men lie, especially if it will make it easier to get laid. Women lie just as much about their appearance and age.
If you're that concerned with your dates looks, try a bar...you can look before you buy.

Re: Leading to more lies
try the grocery store...a man who cooks (or at least pretends to so he can get laid) should always be able to meet a nice woman looking at produce...lol

who would give up a good one?
That's the reason a review for this market seems to be mostly attacks. Women don't brag about the good ones for fear another woman may snag him. Men are too busy moving along to the next one to write a review.

No Subject Given
And then:
The reason the sites that cater to women are focused on attacking people is because most women are judgmental bitches – especially when some guy has failed to pamper them, and cater to them, in the way in which they feel entitled.
As Dani has demonstrated.
