I was laid off from my jobs 4 months ago working at General Electric for 24 years. I was deeply depressed at first and still am. I just want to have a stable source of income but it seems like in the year 2009 it doesn't look like thats going to happen. I am thinking of going into sales, cold calling used to be my gig before I did manual labor for GE.

It my perception thatmatch.com has a greater number of personals at least for the United States. Also, now Dr. Phil is getting involved with Match.com, I think match.com would win the online date service poll.

It's not a great approach, but under these (wildly inaccurate) assumptions there's some merit to Markus' claim, at least in terms of member activity.

Simply put I do not think that they see a free site of the "quality" of PofF as serious competition (if seen as competition at all). Anyone have a pulse for how well Date.ca fairs in Canada? Life is good. PlentyofFish is a Great success story (congrats Markus!) but I doubt that Yahoo Personals, Match and other major players lose sleep about PofF.

I still doubt the validity of these stats, as just like Alexa complete must get their stats from people with an installed toolbar. Sites can easily sway these numbers by promoting that toolbar to their users, and in turn boost their ranks. Please correct me if I'm wrong... Good for you Markus!
