from 350Driver ................would be rather easy, question is what kind of turn out will you get with limited resources? answer, very little.... Anyone can do this but enough sites out there that get "hits" daily and lots of them.
Many sites have a search feature that will allow you to put in state and city of where you are from and/or targeting. This is nothing new.
Dash8,
I get nothing from the onLine services in my area. Either there are no subscribers or my parameters are unmatchable. I hesitate dumbing too much money into the onLine process considering the risk on return. Using the local meet markets one can drop $50 to $100 in a night or weekend (cover charges, minimum drink requirements, highly inflated prices, male etiquette traditions, song and dance entertaining, and after hours restaurant review time) without results. I continually hear [from women] "nothing is free'" which is true for men.
Most women who are in the job market make more money than I do. I know statistics reflect a 60% exchange rate between men and womens income. However, these rates are figured at the top level income brackets. The truth is that very many women are self employed, work for other women business owners or work in high paying professions with male entry barriers. They make considerably more than the statistical averages; averages which include women who are stay at home married types that serve to lower the statistical figures influencing national averages [used, by the way, to negotiate even higher womens wages].
I find, in very many cases, it is a game to drain a male ego, deplete his finances and discourage his sexual drive. If any of you find this type of mentality existing in onLine services I would really like to know. Because I will not even attempt to risk my self esteem on a wild go nowhere adventure.
I am encouraged with those examples of happy matches resulting in life affirming and creative encounters. But I am unsure what the ratio is to those who are discouraged. One last thing, I find women [more so than men] will only trade up. If they attribute any type of subordinate traits in a male counterpart it is an instant cause for rejection.
We have a 60% failure rate in U.S. marriages which indicates a failure in expectations, tradition, or a significant change in our basic social structure that requires, in any case, major academic studies to determine a new and correct modus operandi. I am part French and in France the expectation is toward two marriages in a life time. I will not go further into detail but it shows that each country has a set value of tradition that serves mutual expectations. Maybe we need better defined traditions.
Thank You
350Driver,
There is a
brick and mortar service in my local area that is very expensive. They boast a high percentage satisfaction rate which they can not substantiate with hard numbers or client reviews. They are not affiliated with any other organization [church, social group, industry group, etc] and offer no guarantee other than secret discretion to their clienteles. I managed to get one of the secretaries to admit she has gone on several dates with many of their clients. It is completely legal, however, it sounded to me very much like high end prostitution.
I have no problem with prostitution other than it seems to be a breading ground for other disruptive social influences. If two industrial engineers can put together a successful service, my interest is in determining the odds of success using the financial backing and notoriety of a social organization as a promotional source; such as a specific church affiliation, an industry target market [scientific, medical, aviation, etc.] or a specific age bracket.
This would entail a targeted market approach, considerable industry contacts and survey results from potential clients. This would be very much time intensive and not something I would attempt on a whim or without backing. If there is interest, however, we might be able to put together a mission statement to present to a list of investors.
Just an idea.
