Of Dating Sites and Online Community Websites...

Why do you think dating sites don't have a list of a member's network of friends unlike Friendster and MySpace?

Thanks!

Hi Roy!

Forgive me but I'm not much familiar with dating sites and online community webs. Though I know that they are, I haven't really used them.

Now, why don't we have a friends' network in dating sites? Not really sure and I never really thought that was necessary. I do have a theory though, make it a generalization.

Check the website of friendster, myspace, et al, they both say that their website is about getting you connected to the online community. It's more of getting you acquianted to the cyber life by letting you meet other people and get linked up with those known by those you know. In other words, they are online community websites. That is what their born to do-- show how members of the website are connected to each other.

Dating sites are, primarily, for single people (but nowadays, its no longer restricted to single people) looking for interesting people to go out on dates with and other agenda that exist. All dating sites are like this. They wouldn't show you how a member is connected to other members as those viewng the profile would have a negative impression that he has hooked up with a lot of people from the site.

Hope I gave a logical explanation.

Thanks for asking!
