I have recently been seeing and spammed with ads regarding starting my own online dating website. It is an interesting concept, but with so many sites out there what could I do to stand out from the crowd? Do I really want to take on that much more responsibility? If I started one, would I just run it, or would I be like the hair club guy and not just be the president of it, but be a client, too?

For those who are interested, here are a few links about the topic:

Not technically an online dating website, but people have been known to ‘hook up’ through social networking sites. Google now offers a way to add social networking to your own website:

Google Friend Connect

And, lastly, there are companies that provide the tools you need to start your own site – you just pay them a monthly fee and use the tools to design what you want. The link below is to just one example of such a business.

NOTE: By posting the above links, I am in no way endorsing any of the companies, products, or services listed. I am also not encouraging anyone to start his or her own online dating website. As with any purchase or the start of any business, I highly recommend careful planning and investigation before making any financial investment or taking any legal risk.

Today’s Question: If you were to start your own online dating website, what would it be like? How much would you charge, what features would your website have, and would your site be a general online dating website or a niche site? If a niche site, please state the niche. Lastly, would you just own/operate it, or would you use it, too?
