Online dating is great an all, but it just takes so much time. Too bad someone can’t do it for you.
Well, gentlemen, that someone has come along in the form of Virtual Dating Assistants, the first and only company designed to allow busy male professionals to fully outsource their online dating.
Set to debut tomorrow at $480 per month, the company's virtual dating assistants will use "advanced internet dating techniques and strategies to create online dating profiles, interact with women and set up dates with them," for all those with more money than time.
Each customer gets 40 hours a month of hard labor from the company and Virtual Dating Assistants guarantees at least two dates per month, or your money back.
As it turns out, sites like match.com and plentyofish.com have really massive numbers of women signed up and Virtual Dating Assistants will troll around those and other popular dating sites, looking for love for its clients.
Mark Anderson, the co-founder of Virtual Dating Assistants, used to be an on-the-go kind of guy, working as a pharmaceutical sales executive and staying in more than 100 hotel rooms a year.
Looking for a special woman on online dating sites was taking up far too much of his free time, so he tried having his already-in-place virtual assistant handle his online dating accounts. It worked. With some tweaking, he scheduled 79 first dates in a year. One of them led to marriage.
Fast forward three years, and Anderson and co-founder Scott Valdez have hand-picked a team of virtual assistants that they often refer to as their "007" Dating Assistants because of the "suave and sophisticated nature of their undercover interactions."
“The system our 007 Dating Assistants use to interact with these women is the result of working meticulously to test, analyze and make improvements to an array of profiles, messages and overall strategies designed to gain interest, build comfort, flip attraction switches, and ultimately make our client the prize,” Anderson said.

I've been reading a lot about these folks. To me tho, it seems like hiring a pickup artist rather than a matchmaker.
Got something to say?
