Colin here for Suave.ly. Thanks for the questions and feedback - we'll take it into consideration (with a grain of salt since as you say, as a married man for 17 some years, you're not in the market).

We've found most people find it natural since meeting through friends & acquaintances is the top way to meet offline. We are targeting people in their 20s, though.

Cheers!

(Just to be clear - you guys didn't come across as creepy in person in the live feed - the "company" did).

I'm not married - but you're right I'm almost certainly not the right market :-)

However - I chucked a link to your site at a couple of friends who are in their late teens (F), early twenties (M), and early thirties (F) who I know don't read my twitter stream. I obvious didn't prime them with my opinion :-)

The responses were "Kinda douchy" (teen F), "Is it a dogging site?" (20s M) and "Looks like something for blokes who want sex" (30's F).

None of them went past your home page.

It's a small sample I know - but it may mean that you're not sending the message that you want to send via your copy and images.

Haha, definitely enjoyed the comments from your friends. We'll run through some more A/B testing with copy + images after this feedback, so thank you!

Our conversion rate is decent right now, but it can always get better :)

Hey - please listen to reality rather than me if you're converting well :-)

You might have two diverse market segments too I guess..
