Punkpassions has taken the gifts section to a whole new level and you can send smooches, hugs, bites, licks, sniff, slaps, and punches or pray to the person?

Other Features

I can say that this online dating website has almost all the features one expects for a site in this category including the IM, chat, video uploading facility. You can add other sites link which you are using so that this site user will find you in the other dating websites.

You can add your favorite videos, websites, friends and books into your favorite section. The website also shows the last posting that you did on their forum board. Messaging features of the site is well designed as you can send kisses, gifts, hugs etc.

Member Base

As I searched through various options I found that the site has a good member base. Most of them are from U.S and you will find persons of all age group in their 18′ to 80’s. It would seem that the members here are more serious about their dating.

Longevity

All I can say here, is that the dating site has a good member base and many of you who are searching for serious dates will probably find some good matches and youngsters and older people will be comfortable here.

Scores

Ranking Statistics

The site has a good member base but the total visitors of less than 2,390 compared to other dating sites suggest a low traffic rate to the site. The site only has three other referring sites and all three of them are sending more traffic to the site than through say search engines. This maybe due to the start-up mode that PunkPassions is in right now. The site enjoys web ranking of 729,402.

Conclusion

The look and feel of the website is good but you will find many Google as well as matrimonial advertisements on the site. The registration is easy but may take you a good few minutes as they contain unfamiliar items not common to dating sites . The photo uploading is easy from the computer but you can’t import them from other websites.

Browsing and searching is also a great feature of this website as there are many options which makes this a complete dating site.

Messaging includes all features which the users expect and can send mail, virtual gifts, kisses, hugs, bites and slaps also. IM is also available.

The member base is good and has people from all age groups and a majority of them are from U.S.

Punkpassions.com has many other feature which you don’t find in other dating websites like favorite books, forums, favorite websites etc.

My recommendations is that if you are searching for a date as well as do some entertaining social networking than PunkPassions.com maybe just right for you.

-The End-

Article Subject: Garage Sale for Kids (Creative Date Idea) - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Here is an interesting idea for a date.

The post suggests that you take your date to a garage sale with the sole purpose of buying inexpensive toys that you can donate to the local kids charity like “Toys for Tots”. The idea of the date is to create a “feel good’ mood.

My thoughts, although these kind of dates sounds like fun it can backfire, particularly if this is your first or second date and depends who would be driving this ie. the woman or the man. I can see some alarm bells going off in a man’s head as to suggest that a woman should take such a bold a step as making this kind of recommendation.

Any creative date of this nature will need to be thought of before hand and discussed with the each other to gauge the comfort level or discomfort level of doing any kind of activity. I am pretty sure that even when during the first date, there is almost always a debate and discussion of where to go on the first date even if its something like the movie, coffee, dinner etc.

I would get to know the person in advance before being creative in the dating activity and also recommend that women wait for the men to come up with the dates without sounding too sexist.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Here is a cynical view of someone who is not sure of the effectiveness of online dating.

I fail to see the argument how online daters go to many of the online dating sites because they are rejected by potential suitors in the real world. Considering the growth that online dating companies have witnessed in the last few years with no end in site, it simply means that it is one of the most effective platform people are turning toward to find their potential partners.

There have been many success stories of couples meeting online and the stigma once associated with online dating is now gone. Statistics have shown that today one in five couples here in US now meet through online.

I agree with the writers opinion that offline methods such as family, friend networks can open up the channel further to increase the chances of finding potential mates but online cannot be ignored because you will very likely have missed opportunities there. The trick to online dating is to open up yourself to the world of dating not just through online dating sites, but through forum, blogs, facebook and other areas of interest. A popular site for cyber-dating is through meetup.com.

open up your dating circle with sites like meetup
