(Online Dating Industry Journal) Online dating service Traveling Personals has started doing sexual predator checks on its members as a new feature to attract more users.
According to the service:
"As part of our continuing effort to help our members have a safe and fulfilling experience, TravelingPersonals.com has added the additional security of nationwide sexual predator checks on all new members. This is a new service added without any additional costs for our members. With this improvement, TravelingPersonals.com is now not only of the best values online but one of the safest in online dating. With totally free memberships for women and less than $3.50 a month for men, members can now enjoy all site services without any additional charges along with the security of sexual predator checks. While no background check database is perfect, this does offer another level of protection and discourages those who would abuse the use of a personals site."
Joe's Comments:
Good for them. They let you know up front that the process isn't perfect while creating better value for their members. It's a good move. Now if they'd only get rid of that annoying SitePal talking character on their home page!
Also, I'm curious as to if others think that allowing women for free and charging for men breaks California's anti-gender pricing discrimination laws?
