I really like this idea. I've had some girls that I'm friends with have some really bizarre experiences on dating sites. This one seems like a much safer route and doesn't require a long survey to match your compatibility. Seems fun also and not like the other sites where most people are looking for 'the one'. I wish them luck!

Now I'm really curious about this website.... any invites available anywhere?

Hello. I am Aur Saraf.

And I don't like this.

Why?

Because flirting is about communication. Perhaps it's the journalist's mistake, but it seems like communication plays secondary role here to a currency based trading system.

Is that a way to show value? "I answered more questions and logged in more, and I believe I'll win your heart, so here, I'm bidding 25 points on you, sweetie"? Even MORE competition? How objectified can a poor sweet lovely girl BE?

No.

I really don't think so.

I agree, dating sites suck. They are a badly implemented meat market.

I just think this amplifies the problems instead of fixing them.

The good dating site still isn't public.

We'll have to wait.

BTW an invite to prove me wring would be appreciated.

Do you think this is any better? :)

It doesn't matter how well you bid since love and attraction cannot be bought. Woman will pick who she finds attractive, not someone who outbids the other guy.

PS: Feminists will be all over this one.. I can just see it: "you mean, you're bidding on women?!"

Women can bid on men. Or women can bid on women. Or men can bid on men.
