Why is Jaded Lovers so awesome?
Well, we like to think of Jaded Lovers as the response to every company that you’ve ever felt scammed by.
Now, you may find that a little overly dramatic, or romantic, but we don’t.
Jaded Lovers will never make a claim it can’t back up.
Want to know why we won’t match you based on some personality ratio algorithm? Because we don't think we can - at least in such a way that would be legitimate. In fact, we don't think any website can. (And we're not the only ones who think this. Check out this opinion piece by researchers at Northwestern University and UCLA and published in the New York Times on February 11, 2012, in which they argue based on research done by themselves, their colleagues, and others that the matching algorithms used on other dating sites are fundamentally flawed.)
We feel that matching algorithms inherently cannot work.
Our opinion is that, first of all, in order for us to offer a matching algorithm that would have even a chance of approaching relevancy, we’d have to ask people hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of questions, if not more that, and very few people would actually take the time to answer all of them. Of course, there are some other websites that ask a lot of questions of their members, but we’ve never heard of anyone actually taking the time to answer all of them. And, if you don’t have an answer to every question – from every single member - you don’t have enough information to even try to use an algorithm that’s going start to match people. So, from a practical standpoint, we don’t think it’s realistic. Secondly, no mathematical algorithm is going to be able to take into account real life activity. After all, you can say in a survey that you always treat everyone the way you’d want to be treated, but when you’re actually in the situation in real life, sometimes you don’t do everything exactly as you wish you might have. And we think everyone agrees that real life is more revealing than the responses you give on a survey. So, again, speaking practically, if you agree that real life is more revealing than a survey, which we think everyone does, then why would you to try to sell someone on the idea that you have some wonderful survey? You’re promoting something that everyone already agrees is really not all that relevant. Besides that, it’s been well-documented that people lie on such surveys anyway. So, the idea that a website is going to market itself by saying it has some magical matching algorithm? Frankly, our opinion is that it’s a marketing ploy.
So, if what you’re looking for is a site which will match you with people based on some mathematical algorithm, and you think that will work for you, this is probably not the site for you.
We think it’s a little more complicated than that.
Our goal is to create the coolest place online where people hang out and find others on their own. We don’t to try to tell you who you should be interested in meeting. You know that better than any dating site does.
We consider Jaded Lovers to be a traditional dating site, in that you have a profile and you search for other profiles (although we don’t exclude anyone, which other traditional dating sites have either done in the past or continue to do).
We also consider membership at Jaded Lovers to be a privilege, and – with the exception of a brief, free, trial period which we offer to all new members – ours are paid membership periods, because we think that’s the best way to ensure that our members take their membership seriously (and actually log into their account to check their messages).
Since Jaded Lovers has no fictional profiles, we didn’t have 50,000 “members” the day after launch. For this reason, you might not find a whole lot of other members in your area yet. Critics will correctly argue that a dating site is only as good as its membership base; but, when you’re building a community of actual people, it takes awhile.
If you suspect that a profile you encounter on Jaded Lovers is being run by a spammer or someone who is not who they claim to be, we urge you to notify us of that profile. We’ll look into it, and remove that profile if we determine it to be indeed operated by a spammer. Please note, however, that often a person will join more than one dating site at the same time, and write the exact same profile content in each of their online dating profiles across the board. So, the mere fact that you might be able to find the exact same profile content on another dating site does not necessarily prove that a person who uses that content is a spammer or otherwise up to no good. On the other hand, though, if you see that that person uses the same profile content while claiming to be in one city on one dating site and in another city on another dating site, or on one dating site posts one profile photo and on another dating site posts a photo which can’t possibly be of that same person, those are definite red flags. Notify us, and we’ll take care of it.
Now, wipe off that frown and come on in!
This is only fair to members. A trial membership is
a Free 45-day membership which allows you to check out everything.
