The typical dating site is expected to have a larger number of men than women. This is almost always the case except for matchmaking sites such as eHarmony and Perfect Match. Is it because women are more likely to be seeking a serious relationship than men and therefore? I have no idea. But one dating site based in the UK appears to have the exact opposite problem: too many women and few men. More on Dating Site With More Women Than Men

New Niche Dating Site For Those Who Can't Have Sex Launches

The niche dating site thing continues. There is a dating site for anything (or any interest) you can think of and some things you can’t even imagine. One of The latest additions to the niche dating scene is a site for people who can’t or won’t go all the way.

This is not that “let’s just be friends” thing which in many cases simply means “I am not interested in sleeping with you”. Maybe platonic relationships still do exist after all.

Vanity. It's all vanity. Vanity of vanities. I am not a very religious person but I remember those words from Ecclesiastes (that's in the Bible for those who don't know) though not in that order (if my recall is right). The (online) dictionary defines vanity as "excessive pride in one's appearance, qualities, abilities, achievements, etc." There is a dating site lives up to that definition (at least the appearance part), BeautifulPeople.com, a dating site that claims to be for... you guessed it, beautiful people.

I am not sure whether it's about attention getting, free media publicity or both. But the site appears to get quite a bit of all that. It seems to have started when the site kicked out 5000 people in January of 2010 because they had put on some weight during the holiday season (see our post). Now the same site has been in the news again, having kicked out 30,000 people from the site:
