If you're too busy for online dating, aren't you too busy for dating in general? Seems like a vanishingly small market - people willing to pay $75 for a date, but unwilling to take the time to look on match.com. But I'm usually wrong about this sort of thing, so carry on!
It'd be a false dichotomy if you said "people who are too busy to date are too busy for falling in love" or something similar. People are busy and online dating eats up more time than any other type of application, including social networking.
Matchmaking is already going on and successful relationships have been established that way, we just make it more affordable and transparent. Linx Dating charges $30,000 for 11 dates spread out over 2 years, and they charge $500 just for the screening process.
Online dating has a higher frequency of use than social networking sites. It requires more time than you'd think if you haven't tried it before.
Just wanted to say you're doing an A+ job of responding to people's concerns here in the thread. People usually suck at this, too, but you've really got your shit down. Which, to me, demonstrates that you've been working the product over and over in your head, i.e., the opposite of what everybody else in this space is doing.
Because you're absolutely right. Fuck the Match.coms. Fuck the click click click click model. I'm not 16. I have neither the time nor the inclination.
Thank you. I think some people's concerns are valid. There's a quote that I really like: "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." - Eli Wiesel
In other words, we'd rather have people pissed off or uncertain about something than to not care at all.

Hey man,

I think I focused on the headline too much. Democratizing personalized matchmaking is interesting. I look forward to watching this play out.
