One-nighters are great, 365 are better
A unique dating website for gay men launches

 

Such are the cheeky but very real sentiments of the new gay-owned-and-operated PartnerForLife, a unique Web site designed to gay men find and keep a life partner.  Currently in beta mode, the site will go live on January 14, 2008.

“We’re not about hooking up, “ laughs PartnerForLife founder and long-time gay matchmaker Dale Bullock. “We’re about matching up.”

Key components of the PartnerForLife site are its explicit profiles -- the secret to matchmaking success according to Bullock.  PartnerForLife offers the most comprehensive in-depth profiles in the industry: a system developed by a team of gay specialists including a professional matchmaker, a sexologist, a therapist, a software developer and a statistician.  The PartnerForLife system addresses nine aspects of gay men’s live with in-depth questions that coever every aspect of a modern gay man’s life.

Research has shown that individuals often answer questions as they would like to be, rather than as who they really are.  The PartnerForLife structure makes sure that answers given on the site will always give a true reflection of the person profiled, as well as the people to whom he is matched. Filling out a basic profile takes only 15 minutes; after that, PartnerForLife members can answer more questions and complete or updated their profiles at any time. 

One unique aspect of Partner for Life is that the site is designed for how gay men meet in the real world.  To support their members finding a life partner, Partner for Life offers analyses of other dating sites – such as Gay.com – to help members present themselves and meet successfully anyplace online.  Partner for Life also provides a regionally-specific newsletter that offers dating tips, profiles of organizations where they can meet other, a comprehensive events calendar, and special discount offers from Partner for Life partner businesses.  Finally, Partner for Life offers the largest online library of information dedicated to helping gay men foster successful relationships… and members can even ask private questions of Partner for Life’s team of relationship experts.

“PartnerForLife has been created by gay men for gay men who are interested in having long-term relationships,” said Bullock. “With PartnerForLife.com we have a point of view, and we’re very upfront about it. If you’re looking for sex online, there are lots of places to go. But, if you really want to find that one perfect man for the long haul, click on PartnerForLife.” He pauses for a moment and smiles: “Sex is good…but love is better.” partnerforlife.com
