This week I updated the subscription options so that you can read Online Dating Insider via RSS or receive a daily email digest. Advertising system was upgraded as well.
I’ve been busy partnering with several companies to provide deeper consulting and advisory services. Online Dating Startup Bootcamp documentation has been updated – added several chapters for established dating sites.
Limbo is joining forces with Brightkite : Location-based services are realizing that there is power in partnerships.
Women’s sense of smell evolved to sniff out bad mates.
I like how Chemistry asks additional questions in these slick overlay windows. There is absolutely zero reason why dating sites shouldn’t update their questions from time to time. Problem is that most dating sites don’t know what questions to ask users.

“Women’s sense of smell evolved to sniff out bad mates. ”
The paper
“Cross-adaptation of a model human stress-related odour with fragrance chemicals and ethyl esters of axillary odorants: gender-specific effects”
at Flavour and Fragrance Journal / April 2009
only shows that women are less easily confused in their ability to detect body odor
and not
that they can select better compatible mates for a long term relationship with commitment.
Dr. Charles Wysocki (behavioral neuroscientist) and Dr. George Preti (organic chemist) exposed subjects to a potent elixir of armpit. Then they tried to mask those odors with a series of pleasant fragrances, supplied by a firm that supplies manufacturers of products that control or mask underarm odor. Sniffed alone, the underarm odors smelled equally strong to men and women. When fragrance was introduced, only 2 of 32 scents successfully blocked male underarm odor when women were doing the smelling; in contrast, 19 of 32 fragrances significantly reduced the strength of female underarm odor for men.
