LoopyLove Online Dating
I've written about online dating sites before. These sites fascinate me. On the one hand, these sites use technology, and data mining, in ways that have interested me for a long time. They collect a huge amount of information about people, then pick some criteria to allow matchups, and then...they get feedback about how things pan out. The question is: how can one use that feedback effectively to build a model of human attraction?
See that? That kind of dispassionate analysis is the reason I've always had so much trouble meeting fun people! Why can't I just say that online dating sites are about gettin' some?
LoopyLove takes the opposite view: they think that meeting people online can be fun! My brother uses LoopyLove in the UK and really loves that site. Registration and use of the site is free, but LoopyLove is a sophisticated operation that allows everything you'd expect in a third-generation dating site: online profiles, posting pictures, e-mail integration, etc. But, in addition to these basics, the site features free online chat. The chat rooms are quite lively and interesting without being salacious. For example, my brother was chatting with one woman who was Welsh and called herself "mini-CZ-J" throughout the conversation. She knew that my brother is American and figured that all American men are hot for Catherine Zeta-Jones (this is mostly true!)
My favorite feature of the site, though, is the "picture feedback" allowed. This converts the site into a kind of mini hotornot.com, but with dating. It goes without saying that the negative picture feedback is the funniest, but the positive feedback can be very touching. The site seems to be filled with good-humored Brits who aren't afraid to say what they think. Americans are few and far between, which is probably a point in the site's favor.
If you are looking to find love in the UK, then I recommend this site.
