Have you ever thought online dating took to long? Apparently, you can now meet the “love of your life” in less than 3 minutes.

“People go through the long process of filling out profiles and sending e-mails, maybe for weeks or months, and within two seconds of seeing the other person they realized they had no chemistry,” co-founder Dan Abelon said. “We thought this would be a good solution.”

Speeddate.com members provide only a few key details, including their sex and age; the desired sex and age of their partner; and their ZIP code. After logging in, they click through a series of Web pages featuring people who meet their criteria, connected via live video. The service is now free, though there might be a subscription fee in the future.

After each three-minute session, people click a box to indicate whether they want to interact again. If both say yes, Speeddate.com allows them to correspond through the site.

The business idea and site seem like a good idea. The good thing: appearance will matter. This will give you the edge against other men on this “sight”. I say this because you can peacock in a good way, and enable those questions to follow. This will help you gain attraction, get the number and date.

If you know other online dating strategies though, you have nothing to fear. You can still use traditional online dating sites. They are highly effective, if you get the right site, and provide a great way to leverage your time better. Remember, the point of internet dating is not to talk and converse online for months on end. It’s to get the number and setup a meeting. It’s simply method to get numbers. (Look at David Deangelo’s Meeting Women Online for proven tactics for this)

With speeddate you can see what woman look like, instead of wasting your time on unattractive fat women who only take photos above their bust. (Dammit) There’s just not as much faking with email routines and airbrushing your photos. Get your conversational skills up, and go out in real life so you can then attract the few successful and ambitious women who have resorted to online dating because of their career and other time constraints.
