The one-on-one aspect is huge. Our startup is trying to facilitate these kinds of informational coffee meetings:

Treatings: www.treatin.gs

We think there's something special about dating sites as compared to, say, Facebook or LinkedIn: everyone who has signed up has implicitly opted in to the possibility of being contacted by strangers to possibly meet up offline (though they aren't guaranteeing anything). Knowing that people have opted in like this makes most people more comfortable reaching out to strangers.

"Treatings account created! We are currently beta testing in New York City and will notify you when we open elsewhere."

I'm based in Portland, ME but am often in NYC. I presume there is no simple way to use the site yet for me?

not yet - we'll be in touch with you in the next month or so about it opening everywhere. thanks!
why was this downvoted?
Because it seems if one guy says "I like to wipe my ass" within 5 seconds on this site there will be a start-up to facilitate ass wiping.
Domain available? Firefox can't find the server at www.asswip.es.
