I love (er.. lust) the name. Any reason why you're not collecting email addresses? Having an email list you can blast out to on launch day will help you reach critical mass quicker, avoiding the chicken and egg issue all together.

#12"Secret email"?
Is meant to be a "cheating" dating site or regular?

hi, i'm the founder of this site and am actually quite curious what you mean by this. do you think the feminine design will scare men away? or do you think the name will scare women away?
It will aways be harder to attract/keep women on a dating site than it will be to attract/keep men. That is why almost ALL advertising for dating sites on TV is targeted at women, IMO. Further, if you start with a domain like inlu.st, you are eliminating the % of women that actually care about long term relationships over one night stands. That is a very large %. Just my opinion. I have no data for you.
Ah yes. I'm not particularly going after LTR-seekers right now. Of course, this might change in time, and I suspect the name might have to change in that case.

#14I prognosticate that inlu.st will have an easy time attracting at least one of the two sexes as users. Now, which one will that be? Hmmm..

It sounds a lot like Craigslist's "casual encounters". Which was successful enough, but still.

#15So, what makes this site stand apart from its competitors?
Re: Inlu.st - new dating startup
#16is this an application? what is this?
To get to the (pre-) application, you have to click on "InLust" at the top left. It admittedly took me a few moments to discover this, it wasn't very obvious.

#18When I see something like this, I have to ask:
Whats different about inlu.st and match.com/chemistry.com/$datingSite?
And how are you going to attract users (especially female users, because the men go where the females go)? There is really nothing sadder than an empty dating site.

This may be a very profitable if targeted on gay audience. Nice layout, some extra features and boom, lots of users...

definitely not a cheating site. 'secret' was just supposed to mean i'm not gonna give it away.
