INDEPENDENT -- Apr 20 -- Fans were stunned when they saw Tara Reid (American Pie) listed on Friendster. Hundreds of male admirers bombarded the site with dating requests. The 29-year-old beauty listed 'St Tropez, Sardinia and Aspen' as her ideal holiday destinations and 'acting, shopping and spending money' as her interests. A source said: "You'd think she'd have men queuing up, but it's obviously not the case." FULL ARTICLE @ INDEPENDENT ONLINE
Mark Brooks: I looked her up on Friendster. This is the actual profile picture. Alas, when I clicked on her profile, "Suspended User...Sorry, but the user you are trying to view has been suspended." Probably a fakester.
Once upon somebody said "You get what you pay for"
Many online dating / social networking sites are offering a free-service / free-membership but
if
a person DOES NOT pay or DOES NOT want to pay for the service it clearly MEANS
He or She are NOT INTERESTED in serious dating / networking.
A client MUST HAVE only one reason to pay a fee: this fee will work
- as a barrier to avoid free users, who could hurt other clients' feelings.
- as a barrier to avoid multiple / several profiles posting of the same person.
- as a barrier to avoid a fake profile invented by a felon / convict / other.
Online dating / social networking USERS will metamorphose to CLIENTS only if the service has enough quality (as actual Offline Chains, that instead of disappearing, have good health).
