Casual Dating Sites are more and more popular. People are easier to flirt online then in a real life. Speed dating and casual sites are growing in attendance and activity.
For example, OnlineBootyCall, the world’s number one destination for casual online dating, today announced that it has proudly reached a momentous milestone: three million members and counting. From its inception in 2003, the site has experienced phenomenal growth, adding both thousands of new registered users and making more than 40,000 bootycall connections daily. In fact, in just a six-week period, from January 1st through Valentine’s Day weekend, the site has experienced a 38% year-over-year growth.
From today’s television lineup to our favorite magazines, it is clear that people’s dating patterns have changed. More and more people are interested in casual, fun dating rather than getting involved with someone too quickly. In addition, with the average person spending an average of 32.7 hours a week online (IDC), it is not surprising that more and more singles are trying to find a date online. In fact, U.S. online dating revenues are estimated to reach $1.32 billion in 2009, up from $1.18 billion in 2008 (eMarketer/Piper Jaffray).
“One online dating sector that is growing exponentially is the group of people interested in casual dating,” said Moses Brown, founder and president of OnlineBootyCall.com. “We understand that not everyone is looking for a serious relationship and our numbers don’t lie. Our three million member milestone demonstrates that millions of singles in the U.S. and abroad are turning to OnlineBootyCall.com to put the fun back into dating.”
In the past decade, the concept of a bootycall has thoroughly changed. From being a slang term in the 1990s, bootycalls have made their way into popular culture and people’s lives. Traditionally, people have used the telephone to place bootycalls, but over the last ten years, the rise in popularity of using IM, chat, text message or e-mail and OnlineBootyCall.com has made it even easier to connect with like-minded singles.
Since the site launched in 2003, more than 75 million bootycall connections have been made. OnlineBootyCall.com’s three million members come together on the site to communicate and date in a casual, light hearted and fun way where they’re in the driver’s seat. The site aims at taking the complexity out of dating and was created as a tongue-in-cheek response to stuffy dating sites that promise perfect matches but rarely deliver.
