Paid Dating Sites Review - www.gk2gk.com - Part 8
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Conclusion
The look and feel of the site is good but not that overly appealing. A combination of orange and blue colors gives a bright feeling to the whole site.
Registration is easy and hassle free with five steps and is typical of information asked by other dating sites.
Login and customizing is easy as you can edit your profile and add your own photos. Photo uploading is easy and you simply upload them from your computer.
One can also see the forums, blogs, videos, polls & surveys.
Messaging is nothing to write home about for the free members and you only send and receive messages or winks if you are a subscribed member. There are no gifts and other things like smiley, hugs, slaps etc can be sent.
Browsing and searching is easy but most of the features are restricted only for subscribed members only.
Member base is good but there isn’t any traffic ranking report available for the site which positions the site as having very little traffic and hence activity on the site.
To get a better response from the site and a healthier sign up, there are some work needed to improve some of the features including the messaging.
-The End-

Shocking Online Dating Statistics - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The theme appears to be ‘online dating statistics’ today for no apparent reason.
Here the post goes into length to bring us actual figures related to dating and I must warn the reader to keep in mind the real statistics and facts about this data. Firstly, it is very difficult to gauge real data unless we take a good representative samples from the online daters and assume that everyone of them had told the truth.
This data has apparently been compiled by OnlineSchool but when searching in Google, I couldn’t locate any body that handles statistical data in online dating. Maybe, you the reader can find something.
In summary the data compares the age group of daters and how members tend to lie about their age, height and weight and income as reported in my last post. One interesting fact was that 1 in 3 women who meet men online engage in sex in their first encounter. This probably explains why men and women rush to have their first meeting following their online conversation, maybe?
In any case, I would take the facts and figures with a grain of salt.
online dating statistics needs to come from reliable sources to be believable

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Here is another interesting article on the statistics of online dating.
As you know, online dating is booming judging by the recent takeover of OkCupid by Match.com and the boost in Match.com earnings from subscribers. In short, we are nowhere near saturation point and more people are looking online to find their partner.
The age group that go to these sites typically range from 18 all the way to 55+ with the biggest proportion in the 18-34 age bracket (almost 50%).
Although looks can play a big part in finding your partner, the article says that 86% women and 67% men prefer personality over looks which puts men in very much favor of finding their partner.
The three biggest fibs that are repeated in peoples online profiles are age, weight and income, which comes as no surprise.
there is more to the person than just looks

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This post has been created by ariomness who conducted a poll for online dating users trying to gauge the level of activity that users go through messaging before having a meeting with their date.
The poll has three parts:
1. How many messages do you exchange on average with people that contact you or contacted by?
Answer 4-5 messages as the top answer
2. How many messages would you exchange before meeting someone?
Answer 3-5 messages as top answer
3. How many messages did you exchange before meeting someone?
Answer 3-4 messages as top answer
Hmm, not sure what to make of this poll but the number count suggests that people are willing to move to the meeting stage fairly rapidly following initial communication. It goes against the previous advice of my last post where a successful outcome in online dating occurs over a longer time period.
It would seem people are living busy and fast lives but my understanding is that if you are prepared to spend a lifetime together surely the initial phase of a relationship is just as important. It’s possible that we are missing out on a deeper level by skimming on the surface and moving from one profile to another and dating profiles can be far removed from the ‘real’ person behind their profile.
is it possible that in dating we are missing out on people by moving too fast?

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Here is another good post on a happy success story where a couple met through an online dating site and some helpful tips for the user.
The couple like so many of us were skeptics and didn’t believe in soul mates or love at first site until they met each other.
One simple trend that I see every time I read about success stories is that both couple went slowly into the relationship. There have been cases where couples clicked right away and were immediately swept away and those cases tend to be rare and normally end up in a broken relationship.
Their tips to successful online dating includes the following;
- Remain anonymous until you feel comfortable
- Get to know each other as much as possible before a meeting
- Never share your financial information
- Meet in a public place
