Disabled Passions Offers Free Online Dating, Chat & Social Networking for the Disabled Community
(OPENPRESS) November 2, 2006 -- Disabled Passions is a place where people dealing with all types of disabilities can relax and be themselves, without having to deal with other people's anxiety about their disability. Since the word 'disabled' can refer to so many things, the site provides a large number of 'disabled interest groups', allowing members to join and meet others dealing with similar issues. Examples of some of the 50 different types of disability groups within the site include: Diabetes, Back Problems, Depression, Burn Survivor, MS, OCD, Cancer, Amutee, Spinal Cord Injury, Crohn's Disease and Wheelchair User.
Disabled Passions members can take advantage of a wide variety of online tools to interact with others, including disability chat (text, audio & webcam), disability forums, email, smooches, blogs and instant messaging. The most recent addition to the site allows Disabled Passions members to begin their own blog, posting on a daily or weekly basis about anything and everything they would like. As members begin to blog about specific disabilities, it should give others a better idea of what people really have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Aside from groups related to specific disabilities, there are also groups spelling out the type of relationship people are looking for, whether that be on a more platonic level, like Seeking Emotional Support, or on a more romantic level, like Seeking Romance or Seeking Something Hot.
Basically, the idea behind the site is that it should be easier to break the ice if you can feel more relaxed about presenting yourself openly and honestly, and if you know other people on the site are more likely to understand what you deal with on a daily basis. And by giving people an easy way to find others dealing with the same types of issues, hopefully it will encourage new friendships to form.

Popular Online Dating Site Explores the Importance of Politics and Social Issues in Today’s Dating Landscape
OkCupid, the completely free website that offers a quizzical view on online dating, today announced the results of an “Election 2006” quiz designed to explore how important political and social issues factor into the current dating landscape. The quiz, available at http://www.okcupid.com/politics, was taken by more than 8,000 people and included light-hearted and serious questions that cut to the heart of how strongly people feel about social and political issues and whether they want their partners to share their convictions.
When asked which issue is the most important for a significant other to agree on, 36.5 percent chose abortion, 21.4 percent said the war in Iraq, 19.3 picked the environment, 12.7 percent answered George Bush’s IQ, and 10.1 percent said taxes.
When it comes to sexual performance, 82.6 percent of respondents said that Democrats are better in bed, with only 17.4% siding for Republicans.
On the topic of marriage between political parties, 71.9 percent said they would rather have an affair with a Republican, but marry a Democrat, while only 28.1 percent said they would want to have an affair with a Democrat, but marry a Republican.
“Today’s online daters are fun and passionate people who are looking to be intellectually, emotionally and sexually stimulated, not just matched based on height, favorite song and whether they like picnics,” said Sam Yagan, chief executive officer and co-founder of OkCupid.com. “The enormous response to the ‘Election Day’ quiz provides a view into the serious and not so serious side of today’s singles and offers interesting insight into the issues that are not only important to them, but important to share in a relationship.”
For more results from the Election Day quiz and other socially-relevant quizzes available at OkCupid.com, please contact Amanda Sina Griffith or Dawn Sullivan at 781-684-0770.

Atheist Passions Offers Free Online Dating for Atheist and Agnostic Singles
(OPENPRESS) November 1, 2006 -- A common saying is that there are two things you do not discuss in polite company, religion and politics. The reasoning behind this phrase is clear. People have vastly different viewpoints in these areas, and discussion of these topics can quickly lead to strong disagreement. Atheist Passions provides an oasis of sanity for freethinkers, where they can enjoy online dating and social networking without having to screen out people who believe in invisible magical beings.
Interestingly, there are a number of different categories of people within Atheist Passions, representative of the different ways people define their spirituality, or lack thereof. While the site as a whole tends to attract like-minded people, it provides a number of different non-religious groups where members can find others who define themselves in a similar fashion, for example, Atheist, Agnostic, Freethinker, Ex-Christian, Humanist, Securalist and Being Wormfood Isn't Scary.
One of the trickiest aspects to online dating is determining just how compatible two people might be. While chemistry is practically impossible to predict, it is pretty clear that the more information two people share about themselves, the more likely they are to be able to decide their level of interest in one another. To further the goal of determining compatibility, Atheist Passions provides a number of ways for members to interact with one another, including photo personals, godless chat, non-religious forums, instant messaging, as well as a new online blogging system. The new blog option allows members to create a daily or weekly blog, where they can elaborate on their beliefs regarding religion, politics, and anything else on their minds.
Basically, the idea behind Atheist Passions is that it should easier to break the ice with someone who shares similar beliefs, whether they be in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or in the fact that with regards to God, Who Really Knows? No One!.

Whether you want to just quietly mingle amongst the throngs of comedian wanna-be's, or you want to draw people in by posting witty comments within the 'Funny Forums', this is the site for you.
Seriously though, a sense of humor can be very important in a relationship, and in some cases, it can be a big part of what leads to a couple falling in love. Funny Passions is dedicated to helping bring together people who share a belief that a sense of humor is critical to the development of a friendship, or a relationship. Since the term 'sense of humor' can cover a broad range, Funny Passions has created a large number of 'funny groups', where people can define what they find funny, and what their individual sense of humor is like. A few of the groups on the site are Amateur Comedian, British Humor, Camp, Dry Sense of Humor, Political Humor, Sarcastic, Slapstick, Twisted and Life of the Party.

Funny Passions is completely free, and it provides all the features of a mainstream dating site, with photo personals, chat, blogs, email, forums, and more.

Native American Passions Offers Free Online Dating & Social Networking for Native American Singles
(OPENPRESS) November 5, 2006 -- While many of the largest online dating and social networking sites allow members to define themselves as 'Native American', very few go any further than that. In contrast, Native American Passions has been designed specifically for the Native American community with a focus on helping members find others who share a similar background and/or heritage.
Native American Passions has created a large number of groups, where members can browse by Tribe and/or Tribal Affiliation. Examples of just a few of the over 40 different Native American Tribes represented are Apache, Blackfoot, Cherokee, Choctaw, Hopi, Iroquois, Navajo, Shawnee and Sioux.
Aside from defining specific Tribes, Native American Passions also has groups where members can define themselves as full blooded Native American, part Native American, not Native, but interested. and Native blood in me...somewhere.
Whether the goal is to find existing friends, make new friends, or to explore romance, Native American Passions offers opportunities for members to interact with one another online. Aside from chatting, emailing and sending instant messages to other members, the site also allows members to create their own personal blogs, where they can post about Native issues, Native American culture, or really anything and everything on their minds. A Native American forum area also allows members a more communal posting environment, where members can ask questions, add polls and comment on existing topics of interest.
Basically, the idea behind the site is that it should be easier to break the ice, if you share something in common with most of the people on the site, whether that be a specific Tribal background, or just that fact that you both love a good pow-wow.

Trek Passions Offers Free Online Dating for the Sci Fi Community
(OPENPRESS) October 31, 2006 -- As a central location for Sci Fi singles, Trek Passions, provides a place for people to mingle in a fun environment. The idea behind the site is that it might be easier to break the ice if you are on a site where you know you share the same interests as everyone else, whether that be Sci Fi conventions, roleplaying games or just the excitement of the Sci Fi genre.
Aside from all the basics provided by most online dating sites, Trek Passions allows members to join specific Sci Fi interest groups. Groups are varied, with a large number focused on specific science fiction authors, like Asimov, Clarke and Heinlein. Aside from authors, there are also groups set up with a focus on specific science fiction movies, like Star Wars, The Matrix and Alien. Since Science Fiction covers so much territory, Trek Passions allows members to define themselves as Trekkies, Trekkers or Browncoats.
Trek Passions is both a site for hardcore Sci Fi fans, as well as those with just a casual interest in the genre. For example, Trek Passions is the only online dating site to promote members who speak Klingon. Most members are more mainstream though, basically just fans of science fiction looking for sci fi chat with others about their favorite television shows, like Star Trek, the X-Files, SG1, Dr. Who, Firefly or Battlestar Galactica.
The most recent addition to Trek Passions is a new blogging option, allowing members to begin their own personal Sci Fi blog. While an active forum is already in place on the site, the blogging option will give members a way to post their thoughts in their own journal.
Whether someone is approaching Pon Farr or looking for their Imzadi, Trek Passions hopes to make it a little easier for members to make new friends and/or maybe even find a little romance. Grok?

Goth Passions Offers Free Online Dating & Social Networking for Gothic Singles
(OPENPRESS) November 6, 2006 -- Individuality take courage. When most of society revolves around what is 'popular', it is the unique person who can stand up for themselves and express their individuality...despite the pressure to do otherwise. As a central location for gothic singles, Goth Passions has been designed to give people who identify as goth a place to freely express their interests.
While some of the popular large dating sites might have some gothic members, it can be tedious to try and find those people who really share an interest in all things gothic. Rather than finding themselves as the oddity in a mainstream community, Goth Passions members are surrounded by others who 'get it'. The site has been designed to make it easy for members to find others who share their interests, via a large number of 'Gothic Groups'. Examples of just a few of the groups listed within the site are Goth Literature, Gothic Architecture, Horror, Industrial Music, Raves, Black Magic, Vampires, Mysticism and the Occult.
Despite a focus on such a specific community of people, Goth Passions provides all the features of the larger online dating & social networking sites, including photo personals, email, gothic chat, instant messaging, forums, blogs and more. Many members use the tools available to them to make new friends, while others seems to have more romantic goals in mind. To help members find others seeking the same thing, there are 'relationship groups' in place as well, including Looking For a Fun Fling, Looking For Friends, Looking to Date, No Strings Attached, Seeking LTR (Long Term Relationship), Seeking Something Casual and Seeking Something HOT.
Some members take advantage of the email, smooches, instant messaging and chat features to directly contact people they are interested in, while other members focus on building out a unique description within their profile page & posting within the forums. The new blogging system allows members to begin their own personal gothic blog, where they can post about anything and everything on their minds.
Basically, the idea behind the site is that it should be easier to break the ice on a site where you are surrounded by people who share something in common, whether it be an interest in gothic fiction, or an obsession with vampires and the occult.

PAYING NOTHING FOR LOVE
MONEY may not buy you love, but until a recent push by free dating site OkCupid, it always took a little cash to hunt for romance on the Internet.
Founded by three young Harvard pals, including Sam Yagan who launched Spark Notes and peer-to-peer music phenomenon eDonkey, OkCupid aims to revolutionize online dating through a very simple premise.
OkCupid is free, unlike market leaders Match.com and eHarmony.
This is a fairly unprecedented concept in the half-billion-dollar online dating industry, which is the third most lucrative Internet business after, of course, porn and gambling.
"Online dating is just about the last bastion of paid content on the Web," Yagan said. "What we're trying to do is take down the $500 million online dating industry."
EHarmony charges users a $60 per month subscription fee, while Match.com charges $20 per month, according to Online Dating Magazine.
OkCupid is a perfect example of the Web 2.0 revolution, which seeks to place maximum power with individual users and capitalize from targeted Web ads.
Sites such as YouTube, Digg and MySpace, which like The Post is owned by News Corp., are all examples of this new user-centric model of Internet commerce.
Yagan, who said he likes to "push the envelope of technology and business," aims to blow apart the industry's existing subscription-based business model.
In the last year, OkCupid's user base has skyrocketed - the site now boasts some 400,000 active users, Yagin said. Match.com has an estimated 1.2 million users, while eHarmony has about 1 million.
OkCupid's rapidly growing base of users sends 1 million e-mails and 4 million instant messages to each other per month, he said, adding that the site's traffic now stands at 3 million page views per day.
Yagan said OkCupid makes money from display advertising funneled through Google's AdSense program. He declined to say how much revenue the site makes annually. He would only say that the number is in "the seven digits."
Despite being "enormously outspent" on advertising by the subscription sites like eHarmony, whose ubiquitous founder Dr. Neil Clark Warren has become a staple of late night cable TV advertising, OkCupid has "a grassroots fan base that links to us and gives us incredibly high 'organic' placement in search results," Yagin said.
This is the essence of viral marketing.
A simple Google search reveals that OKCupid is the No. 1 result for the term "free dating" as well as for "free online dating."

Free Online Dating Sites Are Appropriate According to ChristiaNet Poll
Free online dating sites such as Christian singles, penpals, chat rooms and friendship networks are appropriate according to http://www.christianet.com/christiandating/.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 20, 2006 -- ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, asked readers, "Should Christians participate in online dating sites?" The majority of participants seemed to agree that free online dating sites are okay as long as caution is observed. One participant stated, "I believe you can. I met my husband online on ChristiaNet.com. It can be done in a Christian manner if you keep your standards in check." While many agree that it is okay for Christian singles to place a profile on a Christian site, some respondents felt that it is important to be certain that the site is Christian oriented. (http://www.christianet.com/christiandating/)
Out of 200 readers, there were 104, who felt that God can use a Christian dating site for the good of His children. Some people suggested using the opportunity on free online dating sites to witness to others about Jesus. Emphasis was placed on asking the Holy Spirit for discernment and guidance before getting involved with someone online. There were a substantial amount of people who felt that God chooses many different ways to bring Believers together. One of the key concerns was stated well by one respondent, "Yes, it is a good forum to meet people, but with prayer and caution; because everyone's agenda isn't always honorable."
Thirty-two of the readers answered "no" to the poll question and emphasized the importance of safety because many sites attract people who aren't honorable. One Believer wrote, "I would rather meet friends online for a brother/sister relationship." All Christian singles should measure their actions according to God's word. Those who are lonely should turn to God for comfort and pray for His will to be accomplished. One believer felt that "dating" is not Biblical.
Sixty-four of the participants were unsure about Christians becoming involved in online dating. A few remarks were by Believers who had bad experiences and felt discouraged. One believer stated, "If you do, it should be to look for other Christian singles." Each person should examine their motives and be careful not to become involved with others for the wrong reasons. Free online dating sites are usually honorable and are providing a way for Believers to come together for fellowship and friendship. For more information, visit: http://www.christianet.com/articles/

eRomance Launches Local Romance Guides
eRomance.com has launched a “Local” tab, which provides a local guide to romance in 40 major cities throughout the United States, Canada and the UK. The guides provide suggestions for date ideas and weekend road trips, and reviews of the most romantic restaurants, bars and lounges in each city.
(PRWEB) September 19, 2006 -- eRomance.com has launched a “Local” tab, which provides a local guide to romance in 40 major cities throughout the United States, Canada, and the UK. The guides provide suggestions for date ideas and weekend road trips, and reviews of the most romantic restaurants, bars, and lounges in each city.
Unlike popular venue search sites, eRomance has compiled lists of recommendations specific to romance and dating. Moreover, the lists are community interactive. Users can leave comments about venues, rate them, and recommend venues to the rest of the community. As such, the lists are fluid and take advantage of the social nature of eRomance.com. Over time, the community contributions will begin to shape the local guides and become a representation of local knowledge, from contributing members.
The local romance guides are a compliment to the current features on eRomance.com including free online dating, discussions, and articles about relationships and dating. The release of these guides mark a turning point for eRomance.com, which is nearing the completion of its Beta release program. “The concept of eRomance has always been to focus on romance, not just dating. Until now there has been very little to distinguish us between other dating sites but with the release of the local romance guides (and 2 other tabs coming soon), it will soon be apparent that eRomance is not just an online dating site. Rather, we want to cater to romance on a broader scale. Online dating, yes - but eRomance should be a place for people planning a date, considering their relationship, or looking for love – not just the latter of those three,” says Neal Cabage – the founder of eRomance.com.

Kissing is Acceptable While Dating According To ChristiaNet Poll
Free online dating, Christian singles, penpals, chat rooms and social networking are some of the Christian dating related articles just released by ChristiaNet, Inc.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) September 16, 2006 -- ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, asked its readers to respond to a survey on kissing while dating. Many of the participants agreed that it is acceptable but it should be disciplined. Christian dating should be governed by what God's word says about behavior. The couple should discuss guidelines early on in the relationship and make a commitment to not cross those boundaries. One of the participants said, "One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is self-control." It is important to realize that your body is not your own. It is God's temple and should be treated accordingly. (http://www.christianet.com/christiandating/)
Out of 271 respondents, 134 answered yes, that kissing is acceptable while dating. Seventy-one voted no, and 66 were unsure. Many of the respondents who felt that it was not acceptable made a point that it is a temptation and can lead to sin. One participant stated, "The Word of God says we should not make any provision for the flesh." Christian dating behavior should include decent and proper behavior. The world is watching and many could be won just by the Godly example of living a life honoring Him.
Comments of voters who were unsure felt that the commitment of the relationship should help to define whether kissing is acceptable behavior during Christian dating. However, many of the participants also emphasized the importance of not allowing the affection to get out of hand. The couple needs to be honest with each other and if they do not agree then they need to take time out and pray about whether they are right for each other.
Many people in our culture today have become desensitized to what is right and wrong. This has come about because of the shows we watch on television and what we witness others doing. A child of God must base their actions on what scripture says and not what society says. This is challenging in our world today but the Holy Spirit will give us the strength to not give in to the temptation if we are sincere about doing what is right. One respondent summed this up very nicely by saying, "Obedience and compliance to God's Word means everything." For more information, visit: http://www.christianet.com/articles/

JDate Here I Come…
By Rachel Sarah
I've decided to give online dating a chance--with a Jewish twist. After a string of blind dates and set-ups, I think that my problem might be that I am not searching among my people, so to speak. Although because of my mixed background (Catholic mom and Jewish dad), I feel like a single mom searching for her tribe.
Since becoming a single mom and sending my daughter to a Jewish preschool, I've been rediscovering my Jewish roots. Logging onto JDate seems like a good way to intermingle my renewed Jewish identity with dating. Maybe a shared cultural background is just my ticket to true love?
So, I'm going to log onto JDate, the well-known online Jewish dating site. A nice, hot, manly Jewish man might be just the ticket. The first thing I do is read its "Mazel Tov" section, scrolling through the hundreds of couples who met here and got married. Could that be me one day? I am skeptical.
Still, I go ahead and post an ad:
"I'm a 33-year-old single mom seeking a man who avoids drama and braids challah," I write.
"I insist that the man in our lives is drama and drug-free, open and honest, responsible and very fond of children," I go on. "My five-year-old daughter will be firm that the man in our lives can hide matzah and sing Zum Gali Gali," a traditional Jewish campfire song.
Of course, I feel a little sneaky. Should I say outright that I'm the child of an interfaith family? Because my mom is not Jewish, many Jews don't really see me as a true Jew. (Of course, Reform Judaism, in which I was raised, considers a person to be Jewish if either of her parents was Jewish and the child was raised Jewish. I had my Bat Mitvah. I went to Jewish camps every summer for a decade.)
But what if some of these men don't really consider me Jewish? What if they see me as a fraud?
My first date is with Guy, a 44-year-old human resources consultant, never-married. He lives with his dog and his username on JDate is "Shining_Armor." He's looking for a woman who truly wants to love and be loved, he says.
I'm a sucker for a good writer, and Guy is no exception. "I believe in love at first sight, yet I am grounded enough to pay my bills on time," his profile says.
He asks: "Are you able to let go of your grasp on the past and get lost in love?"
You bet I am.
When I arrive to the bar, there's a short chunky man standing in the front. Sure, he has short brown hair and brown eyes like his photo, but his cheeks are fat. And his pants are too long.
"Rachel!" he says, offering me his hand.
I shake it heartily. I mean business. But he takes mine like a wet washcloth. Not a good sign.
Still, talking is effortless; he could be my long lost Jewish cousin from Long Island. There's no heat, but there is comfort. But chemistry is a funny thing; my knees do not buzz, my heart doesn't skip. He's a nice guy, like plenty of the nice guys I've met during the last few years of dating. Nice. But I want more than nice.
~~~~~~
Over the next few weeks, I line up a few more dates. On paper, Jewish men are usually the perfect match for me. But where's the spark? So far, none of these men leads to a second date.
"Why Jewish?" my best friend, also Jewish and a single mom, wants to know.
Good question.
The truth is: I've never been particularly attracted to Jewish men. It's that cousin-thing.
But over the past few years, I've observed the Jewish fathers of my daughter's friends at her preschool, day in and day out. There's no doubt about it: these guys are dependable, they bring home the bacon. They are also thoughtful and intellectually stimulating.
But how about the Jewish piece?
I'm still trying to figure out if JDate is the best place for me. Sure it's important to share a common background and interests, or at least it's helpful, but what about those things you can't put a label on--the ability to be kind and respectful and true? To be a good listener and have a balanced attitude toward life?
When this letter arrives, however, I think that maybe JDate wasn't such a bad idea.
I too am single and find myself bemoaning the difficulty of meeting single Jewish women. So, I'm writing to you. I could tell you many things about me, but for now, I'll include a description from a female friend:
"Tall, athletic, good-looking with extraordinary wit. Has a huge heart and a good soul, owns his own washing-machine (and home) and loves kids. Must learn to give himself a break once in a while. Don't let this one get away."
I won't let you go away.
