match.com bronskied by True.com DD-cup sandwich.
As I posted last week, True has recently upped the ante in the online dating wars. And, as is apparent above, they've also upped the melon sizes (Take Your Pick!), while easing back on the bikini shots. Meanwhile, match.com trots out a "find someone special in 6 months" guarantee (yeah, good luck with that.), complete with lame little cut-paper figures. However, judging by True's latest truly desperate come-ons, I'm guessing that about 347 of those "11 million" singles are men.

I used to work for True's CEO at a previous gig, and I can vouch for his love of boobage. They say in business it's important to go with what you love. I must say I find True's ads strangely fascinating -- kind of like the Nancy Grace show. Word.
I think it's more like 347 of them are WOMEN,and the rest of the 11 mil are men. The only time you'll get someone looking like that is if you pay for it. Let's face it, if you look like that, you really don't need to be on a single's site
J'ever notice that about half the women trotted out for the eHarmony TV spots have tits as big as their head? I don't think this is a new development.
I love the line "Fresh Singles". Can you find them in the vegetable aisle too? Are the not-so-fresh singles (of which I am one) stale and moldy?
Back when I was single, there was no such thing as internet dating, speed dating, or 'text sex'.
You had to actually go up to a woman in a bar and TALK TO HER.
It was terrifying.
These young people today, they don't know they're born...
Along with Match and True, discrimating connoisseurs know that Mate1.com also appreciates the click-through power of a well-filled bikini.
Here's one of their finer pieces of work --

Sadly, even Match can stumble in the cleavage "arms race". Perhaps the summer intern or CEO's son got his hands on this ill-conceived blunder --

Pursuing another angle, WealthyMen.com is touting its "party girls" for the man who has everything --

Meanwhile, eHarmony, Yahoo!, PerfectMatch and the rest continue with their middle-of-the-road work. Fully-clothed couples with relationship platitudes define this "safe" advertising --

More of this merriment in the adverlicio.us online dating ad archive. Don't bother asking for True ads -- I used to have a lot of them before their lawyers took me to task ;-)
TRUE.COM IS A SCAM. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU AFTER YOU CANCEL. I WAS CHARGED $50 AFTER I CANCELED THE 7 DAY TRIAL!!! I TRIED TO GET THE MONEY BACK, BUT THEY SAID THAT B/C I LOGGED IN ONCE AFTER I CANCELED, THAT WAS AN AUTHORIZATION TO CHARGE ME IN FULL!!! MY LOGIN WAS NEVER INACTIVE. I ONLY LOGGED IN TO CHECK MY STATUS! TRUE.COM IS A SCAM!!!
In order to not be charged that renewal, you must call in to speak to a rep. I thought I could just cancel online, which I did. After I was charged another $50 for this crap, I called. I was told if I went futhur than the cancellation page, I would have read they require a phone call. Furthur than the cancellation page? What for, I cancelled. True.com sends winks to people they think you like. The matches they sent me weren't even remotely close. I was looking for slender white women, they're sending me Aunt Jemima. B/S!!! They said they'd give me 2 free months without charge. I don't think so. Stay away from it. I could go on and on.
Go to ArchieLoper at blogspot.com
to see my posting about True.com
a relly low-lfe company.
I started signing up for the True.com "free" membership and after getting some basic info from you, ONLY THEN did you find that to go any further, you had to give them a credit card number. I couldn't help notice, that even without posting a picture, I was getting immediate winks from hot girls that in real person would skip my white haired image. Thus, I think they automatically generate a lot of initial winks and messages to get the new user to sign up. Even though I stopped filling out the form and closed the screen, they had my email and started sending me messages from ladies in my area. As a specialist in anti-corruption investigations, you get cautious about an aggressive marketer like this, and I wouldn't trust their ethics. The comment about the hidden $50 charges seems right in line. I question the legitimacy of their member counts also. vj
I signed up for a free trial 24 hours ago, and just cancelled 5 minutes ago. Why? Because I wasted about an hour filling out the profile and stated that I prefer a man with dark hair, never married and no children. Who did I get "winks" from? Blonde, divorced men with children. Bullshit. Plus, their so-called personality test wasn't even close.
