found this story to be interesting. Shit, if Match.com and Yahoo personals were doing that then I'd be pretty damn pissed as well, if I were a paying customer for either.
Wonder if there are any gay dating, personals or cruising sites out there that are doing that also... :rolleyes:
anything is possible in this crazy world, but paying employees to go out on dates with customers doesn't seem financially feasible.
*beware - popups* http://www.findagaylover.com/ probably uses licensed content on their tour - i know their other sites do.

Will that have paid for itself? How many dates would your employees have to go on for it to create any noticeable effect on your revenue? Shitloads!
The fake profiles and emails, on the other hand... I bet there's no shortage of those on these sites hehe.
LOL! Oh man -- Thanks for the find...
This brings a smile to me because Match mysteriously dropped me from their affiliate program a few years back and didn't bother to tell me and I swear they were shaving commissions.
And Yahoo...They didn't want to accept me as an affiliate because I'm Gay and a Canadian.
Okay and the problem there is Robin? LOL j/kQuote:

On the other hand, its more than possible an employee from those companies went on a date after using their services themselves, i mean, who in the adult industry hasnt err.. Well thats enough of that i think ;)

Personally I think that it's more than possible that dating site employees pick up dates from the same place they work at. Retail store employees shop at their own stores all the time. etc...
However, I wouldn't put it past a company to try and pull such a stunt. Particularly if the would be hopeful was complaining that they never got a single date and were going to do a massive chargeback.
