What if....

Post Reply New Topic

I heard there are some dating sites that charge on males only.

Just imagine the following: What if there was a dating site that prevent male users to initiate with female users?

That would force the females to do the initiation if they ever want to get some dates.

There would be benefits for both genders though: Females would no longer receive silly messages and just email the profiles they like, and males would no longer wasting time on emailing.

I wonder how attractive the concept would be for both genders though.

and if you think this is a sexist idea well, pof isn't less sexist:

I think you've got yourself a business venture, Boo!

Look up Dreamhost or names.co.uk promotions for web hosting and domains.

Hmm, what would you call this..
PeekAtBoo.Com?
LadiesFirst.Net?

Many guys would probably call it quits after just a week or two of not being able to send/receive any messages, and chicks that send them would assume the guy already owes them something like they're doing him some sort of huge favor by sending a lousy message.

Hmm ShopYourMan.com ? LadiesFirst.Net sounds good.

Think of it, we all know already how conventional dating sites work: Active men are more than women, men message women, women get overwhelmed by the load of messages and skip the uglies and only reply to the most good looking and best profiles.

So women are already in control in conventional dating sites and only the top men are making it, so why not saving time for both genders? With my concept, the women are no longer gonna waste time by filtering their inbox and many men would no longer waste time on sending messages hoping to get a single reply.

In both cases, only the top men would make it but in my concept it would save the time of those who don't often make it, instead they would invest their time in improving and crafting their profiles - that wouldn't be as time consuming as emailing well crafted custom messages though.

Some might think this concept would deprive men the power of choice while giving it fully to women but I think it might balance the power of choosing: Women on a such site would be less likely to develop a God's gift complex (since they're not getting infinite initiative attention there) and some might even get a blow to their ego once the hot male supermodels they messaged ignored them (since they are receiving too many messages) therefore they would humble their standards and go messaging non-supermodels, as result that would give the average good-looking more power of choice there than the regular dating site. The women would even feel more challenged to get the attention of some guys, making them wanting to revisit the site.

So that would make the portion of 'top men' larger there.

One downside with such website would be attracting spams to create fake female profile to fraud males there, it would require good moderation and verification to prevent that.

All in all, the marketing of this site would be promising women "Full power" and "Full dating control" (ie. Get in contact with the man YOU choose!! ! / with a picture of a powerful femme fatale aside) while in fact it's quite the contrary and would grant them less power of choosing than other sites - gawd, I am so twisted.

There already are a few, but as far as I know essentially noone uses them
