Are you Cheating if you use a Dating Assistant?

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

I saw a great article on a new company called VirtualDatingAssistants.com that for about $500 will set you up with one of the “Secret Agents” that will do all of the preliminary online dating stuff and then get back to you when they have set up some “real ” dates for you.

Some people think this is like a virtual dating coach but its more insidious than that, these people aren’t trying to coach you and help you navigate and get the most out of the service, they are setting you up with a real person that will impersonate “you” and go through all of the preliminary online dating formalities for you, like set up your account, ping and converse with the type of girls that you say that you like. Break the ice / flirt then set up a realĀ  date and brief you on all the BS that they have been spewing on your behalf so that, I presume, you don’t have to go through all the time wasting “getting to know someone” before you nail them! My favorite part would be when you are getting your debrief from your “agent” before meeting the person for the first time. I hope they keep careful notes of all the BS and your back story. I ‘d hate to get confused and lie about being a Doctor when my agent was telling everyone that i was a race car driver!

Online dating for the truly wealthy and lazy!
