Miami, FL. (PRWEB) June 9, 2009
Virtual Dating Assistants LLC (http://www.virtualdatingassistants.com), the first and only company designed to allow busy male professionals to fully outsource their online dating, is set to make its market debut tomorrow, June the 10th. At a price of $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" on behalf of cash-rich, time-poor men worldwide that don't have time to do it themselves. The company will work approximately 40 hours per month for each customer and guarantees them a minimum of 2 dates per month (or their money back).
Virtual Dating Assistants plans to leverage the massive female membership pools available on popular internet dating sites such as PlentyofFish.com and Match.com to find dates for its clients. And as the result of a surge of business that the online dating industry has been experiencing since the beginning of the recession, the pools are bigger than ever. While there are many theories about potential causes for the online dating industry's bull market behavior, the most popular belief is that, during tough times, people of all income levels seek the comfort of another to help them weather the storm.
With respect to the idea of outsourcing online dating, the idea of using Virtual Assistants (VAs) for personal tasks is not by any means new. People like AJ Jacobs, editor-at-large at Esquire magazine, and Tim Ferriss, author of international bestseller "The 4-Hour Workweek," would probably tell you there are very few activities that cannot be outsourced for the sake of efficiency. Mr. Jacobs' VA has sent apology emails to his wife and read his son bedtime stories while Mr. Ferriss has actually paid teams of VAs located all over the world to set up 20 dates for him in 4 weeks.
Before Mark Anderson, the co-founder of Virtual Dating Assistants, discovered the potential of online dating almost three years ago, his on-the-go lifestyle as a pharmaceutical sales executive that stayed in over 100 hotel rooms annually had practically rendered his dating life extinct. Because online dating was consuming so much of his free time, he experimented with the idea of having his VA, who was already handling a wide range of tasks ranging from paying his bills online to sending emails and rescheduling meetings, manage his online dating accounts. He developed a systematic process that his VA could follow and, after some fine tuning, she was able to schedule 79 first dates with attractive women within a period of 12 months. One of these dates would lead to his current marriage.
Now, Mr. Anderson and co-founder Scott Valdez are overseeing a hand-picked team of VAs that they often refer to as their "007" Dating Assistants due the "suave and sophisticated nature of their undercover interactions." According to Mr. Anderson, "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".
The company says that one of its top objectives when arranging the dates is that no effort is required from the client side prior to the first date aside from reviewing the "pre-date executive briefing". When faced with criticism about the provision of a fully-outsourced solution to online dating that requires the company to interact online as the client, Mr. Valdez emphasizes that they "simply represent clients in their best light while using the most effective methods of self-expression and interaction found for online dating. We help them put their best foot forward but do not lie on their behalf or represent a substantially different personality."
