Online Dating

This is a sponsored post.
I just checked out the free dating site at DateHookup.com. I’ve talked before about internet dating (most recently about World Of DateCraft), so I was pretty interested in seeing what DateHookup had to offer.

DateHookup is a meeting and chatting site for singles, most notable because it’s actually free, not the unfortunately common free-to-browse-but-pay-to-message-anyone.

I know that I am in a very small minority here, but I don’t like the super-customizable profile pages. Give me normal black text on a white background, please. No blinky emotes, no songs, no flashy colors. (This is why I’m not cool enough for MySpace)

One weird thing is the “profiles I’ve viewed” bit at the bottom of a profile. Actually, I suppose it’s flattering to know who’s looked at your page, but a bit creepy that everyone on the site knows who you’ve veiwed.

The friendly, chatty forums did stand out in my mind, but I think DateHookup needs a hook… a focus on a region, an interest, a lifestyle, or an age group to really stand out.
