Markus has probably felt a drop recently in sponsors and advertising CPMs on his site because it is a niche audience and buyers like myself aren’t advertising on these types of sites anymore. We are buying up all kinds of remnant inventory from the portals for cheap that have high quality traffic. Markus recently launched a paid service feature on his site. I wonder if this is in response to Match launching a free service or if he is seeing a drop in revenue but maybe not traffic. There is a site like Facebook in Russia that now charges for the same type of service since they have access to over 20M users. If Facebook figures out a better way to monetize its users with micro payment services then it’ll be lights out. If Markus turned his site into a pay service then people will jump ship over night. I have seen it happen with a German free dating site before that went to a paid model and lost their business in months. My comment was that Markus definitely has a valuable property but that he needs to start comparing it to other dating sites and not a property like Facebook if he wants to get a fair valuation for what his business is worth.

“I would like to see Markus get acquired but I don’t think he has a good grasp of what his site is actually worth as he keeps comparing it to Facebook and other social network acquisitions. Trust me POF is far, far away from anything related to FB.”

How do you know how much POF is or isn’t worth? And what makes you think Facebook is worth more? Because you like the site better? In fact, Facebook clearly doesn’t know how much it is valued, because it was stated in an article that it was way overvalued for what it has to offer….in fact, it offers no value to its users, other than advertising. POF has a far greater value than facebook since there is a much greater and targeted purpose in the site (to find a date, plain and simple). In my opinion, POF has a far greater potential to make so much more money through paid subscriptions. Do you think Facebook members will ever pay for subscriptions? The reason why they won’t, is because there is no real value in Facebook.

I joined PlentyofFish.com because, to be perfectly honest, I’ve had my nose to the academic grind for the past six years, and am now, post-graduation, finally getting back into the swing of social life. I thought PlentyofFish.com, and internet dating in general, might provide a fun and easy way to meet new singles, and make, at the least, some new friends. This is what I observed.

In general, profiles were poorly constructed; most users in my age range (20-29) wrote an average of one paragraph (5-7 sentences) of self-description, and said descriptions were generally riddled with unattractive grammar errors (e.g., “hi my name is ____ i like too party and chil with my friends sound good? plz write”).

Of the few extended, more well-written profiles, most were arguably narcissistic, and subsequently as unappealing. In general, extended content offered insight only into users’ opinions of themselves (as opposed to specific likes, dislikes, experiences, etc.); proper grammar correlated with verbosity. Curiously, these profiles were generally accompanied by a primary photo in which the user was not smiling.

Regarding content, most profiles were strikingly similar, although this is likely a consequence of their general brevity. Most common likes included “going out,” and “having fun.” Most users expressed partiality to activities involving alcohol consumption. Most users were unsure of their reason for joining the site.

Younger users (30) were more likely to present a multidimensional self-characterization.

Many users, male and female, plainly state “no creepers,” etc. Many female users report receiving multitudes of sexually explicit and otherwise upsetting messages from male users, including photos of genitals and requests for sex. After numerous conversations with users, I can say with some confidence that male users with appropriate intentions may be greatly outnumbered by male users with inappropriate intentions.

In general, approximately 50-75% of users of both sexes appeared noticeably unhealthy. Female users most often presented photographs taken from a peculiar angle in which the user looks demurely up toward the camera held by the user above herself at arms length. The user’s forehead and eyes appear greatly enlarged. The resultant photo resembles a space alien or toddler. Male users seem to think a picture is a picture; a photo of their nostrils’ interior might as well “do the trick.”

The reviewer is pleased to note that s/he spoke with at least two superlative users over 30; however, the reviewer is 24, and does not feel inclined to date users older than 30.

Overall, with respect to users under 30, the site appears to be loaded with half-assed, often unappealing profiles written by individuals who a). would, honestly, rather be meeting people the old-fashioned way, b). seek mass adulation, and/or c). are already profoundly skeptical of online dating, none of which is conducive to establishing a single, worthwhile relationship via online dating. Thus, I cancelled my profile, and am now pursuing more traditional, actively social means of meeting friends and potential dates.

In conclusion, based on the sample observed, the reviewer cannot recommend PlentyofFish.com for users under 30 who seek serious relationships. The reviewer might suggest that young singles continue to do what they have always done: get off the computer, volunteer, go to a church, go dancing, build a network of like-minded people who will introduce you to other like-minded people, and meet Mr./Miss Right face-to-face, in a context that you will both remember with fondness.

EuropeanKiss.org is a totally free online dating community for single europeans in europe, canada and usa, which is secure, safe and fun with much more features than any dating site, paid or free.

We have introduced a community moderated system where upon registration, you must complete your profile and upload at least 1 photo and then wait for approval by users of the community, during which time you won’t be able to use the site. This is another security layer we have put into place which prevents incomplete profiles and spammers. We have setup a required number of votes and percentage to approve or reject profiles.

We also check IP address’s against a blacklist for spammers and have put into place the ability to report profile, messages and photo abuse.

Another feature we have introduced is “Certify that this user is Genuine”

If you have met a site member or you are sure for his/her existence and profile/photos, you can certify that this user is genuine. The number of users required to certify a user is set by the site administrator. After the required users have certified a user is genuine, a green check appears next to the user in every search result.

We have found many free dating sites are full of spammers and are poorly designed and want to change the way free dating sites are perceived.

The industry is a 0 sum game… Free sites take away from paid sites period. Industry traffic has been 1.25% of online traffic for the past few years, yet in the past 2 years POF and singlesnet have gone from nowhere to 40% of US dating traffic. Match.com has lost a lot of US subscribers year over year and so has American singles and yahoo personals and all the others. Those users aren’t going to ever pay again… As for revenues, non dating ads pay more than dating ads… So long term free sites won’t be advertising paid dating sites anyways.

“After our acquisition of Various, we became aware that Various and its subsidiaries had not collected VAT from subscribers in the European Union nor had Various remitted VAT to the tax jurisdictions requiring it. We have since registered with the tax authorities of the applicable jurisdictions and have begun collecting VAT from our subscribers in the European Union and remitting it as required.”

I would hold off on putting any cash down on this stock until they clear their debt and any misc. things from the Various acquisition. The IPO is also underwritten by Renaissance Capital, which is based in Moscow. Not exactly your typical Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs type companies but I can see that the adult nature of this transaction would keep the conservative companies out of the game for sure.

I’m only 12 and I just got told that my girlfriend kissed someone else while playing a game of dares and I just feel exposed and betrayed and I don’t know what to do. I know it was a dare and I’m sure she didn’t mean it but he was older and that just leaves me worried that he might come back and try get more than she bargained for and hurt her or something and I’m just worried sick. Please write back or email me with an answer to my dilemmas.
