We're stoked at the unique opportunity our site is able to bring to the gaming community

Warren, OR (Vocus) August 17, 2010

In a successful relationship, the partners will have something in common: music, movies, politics, and now that studies are showing that gaming is one of the most universal hobbies for people in the US, the Internet is long overdue for a gamer dating site where gamers can find each other and fall in love. On Gamer Dating, couples are matched by shared criteria, primarily their favorite games.

“We're stoked at the unique opportunity our site is able to bring to the gaming community,” said Jim Palmer, founder and CEO of GamerDating. “In a period when there is a unique recognition of the importance and love of gaming and lack of gamer dating sites we're thrilled to be the first to offer such a service to gamers who have been looking so long for that like minded person to be with.”

For couples with only one gamer, the habit can be a point of contention. “Girlfriend Aggro,” (a play on the gamer term “aggro” meaning when you aggravate an enemy), is a well known and feared phenomenon in the gaming community, but it isn't exclusive to men. Female gamers report the same issues with their non-gaming partners, one saying on a GameSpot.com forum that their partner considered her habit as “time wasted”. With the third annual release of the US Nielsen “Active Gamer Benchmark”, the study found 62 percent of online gamers were women, signifying that the gap between the sexes has closed considerably.

Newly launched gamer dating website, GamerDating.com offers the first premium online matchmaking service exclusively for gamers. Users, for a $7 monthly subscription are offered access to gamer dating website news, forums, gaming news, dating advice, blogs and a search tool to find partners to take on a PlayDate, the site's connection tool which allows users to play their favorite games together, online. Why pay? The site argues that the small cost will eliminate fakes, scammers and wastes of time, ensuring the community is healthy and well meaning.

“Video gaming can be extremely beneficial for a couple's relationship because it promotes bonding and feeling close, helps refine a couples ability to problem solve together and, most importantly, encourages having fun and laughing with one another,” said Dr. Diana Kirschner, relationship expert and author of Love in 90 Days. “As a matter of fact, it is my experience that the couples that play together stay together!”

GamerDating.com is offering it's services free during it's testing and development phase that is running currently but for a limited time only.
