NY TIMES -- July 2 -- Spark Networks, the owner of JDate, runs 32 dating sites. In the first quarter of 2009, JDate’s sites accounted for $7.6m of the company’s $12m revenue. JDate is the oldest of the company’s services, which partly explains its success. Ron James’s marriage of 13 years ended so he joined JDate. In 18 months, he e-mailed 500 to 600 women and dated 40 to 50. “Internet dating in the 21st century is a hard process,” he said. Over that year and a half there were women he met who lied about their age, posted photos that were 10 years old, misrepresented their jobs and pretended to be more successful than they were. “A lot of the photos didn’t look like them,” he said. “I learned to watch out for sunglasses.” FULL ARTICLE @ NY TIMES
