Second, in the mainstream world, say Apple was to introduce a song sharing platform, cost $29.95 per month, but you can only share with people in your own city or town. (Similar to dating, in that the number of members in your own region is much more important then the number of members system wide).

Would Apple launch the service with zero members, charge full price, and then let the fallout occur when for the first few months you might be the only member in your region? Nope, they would develop the site and member base through incentives or what not to existing clientelle from their other products, and then launch the site only when there is enough of a user base to provide the members with real value.

Is Datetronix doing anything like this? Who knows. Like virtually all of the other dating sites pushed on GFY, the details provided don't go any further than 'but isn't it pretty".
