Whoa! First off let me thank everyone for their critique of my idea. All I wanna do is to build something like Zoosk, E-Harmony, Match etc. on Second Life. I've been on SL long enough to realize you do find the 11-11 connection with some people here. Only problem is that many a time the 11-11 factor gets suppressed (but doesn't disappear) when face2face meetings take place or actual photos are exchanged. I do know that SL was built on ANONYMITY. While that may be just great for a MMO game, it does pose a problem in simulating a dating environment here on SL. For all you know that suave avatar you befriend on SL could in actuality be login while serving time in a prison. (Yes, access to PC is now a part of inmate rehab program). Zoosk and Match both charge $30/month (payable in 3 month lump-sum) while eHarmony charges much more. Needless to say all 3 are thriving businesses. Ergo, a market definitely exists for a Dating SIM that provides IM, eMail, dancing, great sex and charges only L$1,250 or $5US per month. Zoosk etc require verifiable photos of their members. Similarly, a photorealistic "classic" head would be a necessary and sufficient requirement on the SM SIM. One needn't drive a Lamborghini to go shop at Walmart. While some Bento heads can be true works of art, they are great tools for embellishing one's looks and are intended to attract MMO playmates. Go take a look at the member photos on Zoosk etc. There are just as many "plain Janes" in their collection as is the "gorgeous babes". There's a date-bait out there for everyone willing to shell out their Membership Dues! ?
