i am! i was pleasantly unsurprised to see dating as number one! (read as "i thought it would be, and laughed when i saw it was"). the reason most dating sites fail is that people keep building the same site again and again but with different branding. i think the problem can be solved by completely changing the experience. that's what i'm staking my savings on anyway.

I've tried a few niche dating sites. I think a new dating site can work. However, you will always have the problem in the beginning of not having enough profiles.

For a dating site to be successful, you need to have lots of startup capital for marketing.
