Admin	The future is now! Posted : 29 Jul, 2015 12:56 PM Hi! I really am interested in the future of online dating and I believe it is in videos.

I wanted to take the link out because I just saw now that links are not allowed. Well I hope anyways no one is going to report it because if you watch the video, it's just me talking about why I believe the future of online dating is in video introductions. Post Reply
View Profile History	The future is now! Posted : 29 Jul, 2015 01:21 PM Most people are fed up with online dating. It's so easy to write anything and get away with lying about yourself. People are more able to spot a liar if they are required to make a video introduction instead of a paragraph "About me" which most don't like writing anyways. Also, because you cannot hear their voice, see their face or feel their energy, you cannot really get a feel if you would actually want to date that person in real life. So an online dating service that forces people to be honest and transparent will only attract serious people and repel fakes and scammers. The next step is a full body shot properly clothed in a doorway because all doorways are about the same size so the person won't be able to lie about their height. And with their arms at their sides they won't be able to take silly selfie shots or make silly faces and gang signs. People want to know who they will be dating. The details about their life is not as important as I know attraction is not a choice and it happens in real time. The thing is this would have to probably be a pay site if we cannot use YouTube for it which is free to upload and use their servers for the videos. But I wonder if any of you have heard of couch-surfing because that site is all about Christian values of being hospitable to traveling people so they don't have to pay for a hotel or hostel they would just crash on your couch for a night or two while they explore the city you live in. That website has a way of verifying where you live with a postcard sent to your address and this would make sure that there are only real people with real addresses signed up to the dating site and only one profile per person.

Here is a piece of the conversation It would anger those who on okcupid have invested so much in algorithms to figure out what works in this current model of a picture and a paragraph. [4:44:36 PM] Pietas: but what works is you must be really good looking or have a professional picture done [4:44:44 PM] Pietas: and you must have an amazing profile that is the truth about yourself [4:45:01 PM] Pietas: but what i want to do is a lot easier for regular looking people to make it [4:45:22 PM] Pietas: because there is no need for someone to be a celebrity looks or have 100 amazing interests [4:45:25 PM] Pietas: they can just be themselves Post Reply

Posted : 29 Jul, 2015 02:08 PM The site would not let outsiders to view the videos or pictures, only those who put a video, full body shot in doorway with arms down at their sides and was verified to actually exist at a real address could view this site. They will be unlisted videos on YouTube or private galleries. That way everyone who really is serious about a relationship and putting themselves out there will be in this community and no people who are looking to mess around with Photoshop. So the pay fee would only cover the cost of whatever mail costs is necessary to send postcards to them to verify their address and quite possibly that would be it because YouTube has a way of messaging so if they like the video they see they can contact the user through Google+ or Youtube. I do not own this idea but I am not looking to make money off it. I believe we must charge for it to work because it does cost money to send postcards to people but the site owners have no right to profit on it. That's why I love this particular site which is completely free. But it needs improvement. Post Reply
View Profile History	The future is now! Posted : 29 Jul, 2015 03:53 PM When I wrote the post, I did not have a picture up of myself standing in the doorway. Well now I do. It's not great. I had to take off address labels off that box in photoshop after I realized it was on there. Hey well you have to start somewhere. I was thinking if I waited to put a perfect professional photo up then that would intimidate people to join on through this movement. So start small and then work better over time. You could also take this picture in an open car door cafe door, any door would do to give everyone a real idea of your height and body shape. Of course we all had our surprises of meeting people offline who don't look a thing like they did in their pictures! So I am thinking that people would be required to upload a new video every few months to make sure. Post Reply

Posted : 29 Jul, 2015 03:58 PM Photoshop is ok as long as the person is not changing what they look like in it to stretch themselves to look taller, changing colors of their hair in the picture, what else? Oh yea, putting black circles over other people's faces. No one likes to see that. Post Reply
View Profile History	The future is now! Posted : 30 Jul, 2015 05:45 AM Hi pietasforyeshua! I did the same thing with links to 2 short clips I really like, before remembering the rules. I was so excited to share them. One I can really relate to because my husband was deaf all of his life. I wish blessings for you and the person you find to complete you. You'll find quite a slice of humanity here. Post Reply
