Man Kicked Off Dating Site For Being Too Successful
from the can't-commit dept
How do online dating sites define success? If they match up two people successfully in a long-term relationship, they lose two customers. However, it appears that some aren't so thrilled about "serial daters" either. One site has kicked off one subscriber for using the site too much. Apparently, he got himself over 100 dates via the system, but the women started complaining that he was afraid of commitment. It's not exactly clear how the dating site should be at all responsible for the guy's ability to commit or not -- but they decided they'd had enough of him, and sent him packing. He doesn't sound too worried though, as it's likely some other dating site will be more than happy to take his business.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

makes sense
Now unrelated to what I just said: if they don't actually post that as a policy (as opposed to a marketing position) then I suppose he would have a bait-and-switch claim. But he doesn't sound too upset, and anyway, they could just give him a refund.
