I really like the idea as well! From what I know the site didn't go anywhere because the minimum advertising commitment for dating websites is in the thousands. So I think he dropped the idea.

But definitely it could work for someone with some marketing skills and/or cash to burn. It's something that can be built in a weekend as well. Feel free to reach out to me and I can try to help point you in the right direction if you're interested in pursuing it.

Yeah, I think it would be very difficult to make this work as a standalone service, but I think it could be potentially be very successful as an internal feature of OKC or a similar site. It would be valuable to me to find out what the women that I am interested in think of my profile, especially the ones that don't respond to me. I would pay to get some decent feedback on myself. One of the problems is that I see my own profile in complete isolation. Actually, what I should do is go look at the profiles of other men to find out what the competition is like, but I'm not going to do that. But there are probably lots of women who would give me feedback on my profile if I paid them even $1.
