Getting dog lovers to date someone who dislikes dogs appears to be a bit like asking someone who has a fear of heights to bungee jump off the Empire State Building! Why so? Well a recent poll conducted by the leading dog lovers dating site [http://www.doglover.biz] revealed that all of its members who voted would not date someone who didn't like dogs!
Small wonder then that over the past 3 months the site's popularity against all other sites increased by 130%* as more and more of the estimated 43 million single dog owners in America alone realised that they didn't have to wade through millions of members on the large dating sites to find people who liked dogs but could simply join [http://www.doglover.biz] for a fraction of the price of the "biggies" to find thousands of people who didn't just like dogs but loved them!
Derek Collinson, who founded this, the first dog lovers dating site way back in 2006, is delighted and in celebratory mood. And he has good reason to be since he is also celebrating falling head over heels in love with Angela whom he met on the site four months ago when as part of her psychology degree course she was researching dating sites and joined [http://www.doglover.biz] as part of her research. Needless to say Angela is a life long dog lover!
And this trend towards niche dating sites like [http://www.doglover.biz] is borne out by the latest US figures from Hitwise, which found that the top niche dating sites are steadily gaining market share whilst their big mainstream counterparts stagnate.
Derek Collinson said "I suspect that many people who have tried the big mainstream dating sites have been disappointed. In other words they have not found their soul mate despite a choice of millions of members and having completed their in depth personality profiles. I can see why people might think that having millions of members to choose from increases their chances of success but for many it can be a daunting task knowing who to choose from so many people resulting in them quite literally being spoilt for choice. For those people finding their soul mate can become a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
And whilst personality profiling is a useful aid to identifying compatible people it is not the be all and end all. My view is that someone's passion in life (whether that is for dogs, fishing, wine tasting or golf) says as much if not more about that person and their personality than an in depth personality test ever can. Therefore providing an online dating service specifically catering for them and their passion is far more likely to result in successful matches!
Obviously as evidenced by the growth of niche dating sites over the past two years many online dating singles share this view and that's why they are joining niche dating sites in ever increasing numbers instead of the big mainstream ones!"
By way of example Derek continues "Look take two people that are compatible - at least as far as personality goes but one is a dog lover and the other is not how can that possibly work? Looking after a dog is a big commitment both in terms of time and money and if one person doesn't have the passion they won't have the commitment and boom you have conflict in the relationship!
The fact is that any passion demands time and money (whether that is dogs, fishing, biking, wine tasting or golf) which the other person is bound to resent if they don't share that passion and are not prepared to try!
Love is after all about sharing and sharing a passion such as a love of dogs says much about their personalities - generally people who love dogs are loyal, fun loving, kind, sensitive, gentle, affectionate and tactile and it's these traits that probably caused them to become passionate about dogs in the first place since these are the traits commonly found in dogs.
So by providing an online dating service for dog lovers you end up with thousands of members with compatible personalities and a shared passion - the ultimate matchmaking environment!"
