OK, I thought you should see this. It’s a flagrant example of the real problem with free dating sites and brand-new dating services.

This is a request made by a project developer through Elance.com, which provides outsourcing services for freelance programmers, web & logo designers, copywriters, illustrators and consultants.

Need 500 unique dating profiles included. English must be readable and understandable. Include age, interests, and what your looking for in a date. 3-8 sentences. Sample profile included.

Here’s that sample profile.

Looking for a casual date or a new friend to hang out with from time to time. Cuban female 22/5′6/Cute..wait… very cute. Im serious about meeting for some drinks or a date guys. Dont wanna make my ad long so email me and I’ll tell you a bit more about my self. If your looking for dating please dont be gay or married! Or married and gay LOL!!

Now why would a dating site developer want someone to create 500 fake singles profiles? Well, they want to ‘pad’ their database with fake profiles to make it look like there are a lot more singles active on the site than there really are.

The point is that you should stick with the tried and true services that don’t need to pull such stunts.

Good examples include those listed under my 5-Star Dating Services.
