It's total bullshit. Basically those rules apply to men and men only. A 21 yo can still send messages to 36 yo's but the men can't reply. The guy is only making the site worse, not better. Supposedly he wants to change the stigma that it's only a hookup site to something else. Guess what, the only reason that site is popular is because it's a free hookup site, plain and simple. And, why does he still show people that don't fit the 14 +/- in certain match results?
He has holes all over that site. Also, there is already a way to set age restrictions on contacting someone.
I'll say this. If anyone here is interested in starting a competitor site and can bring traffic and new members I would be very interested in working on such a project with you. I'll provide the code. I know what I think is wrong with that site (and others) and think I have a pretty good remedy to correct the problem with dating sites as they are constructed today. That's all I'm going to say about that right now though.
I also read that he will be removing any profiles of people that are married/not single. There are some pretty upset people on his "hidden" forum. Of course, any man that expresses any opinion that is negative about the new changes is labeled a "creepy old guy" by the women on the forums. That site is really in total disarray. It still has so much potential but I don't think he really cares, he's made a ton from it.
