how to pick up women the right way…

Al parecer la empresa Penthouse habría iniciado las negociaciones para adquirir AdultFriendFinder, uno de los servicios de contactos adultos más conocidos, populares y exitosos de la red. Se comenta que el importe a pagar rondaría entre los 500 y 10…

However, they don’t send out fake teaser emails from the website, like most of their competitors. I joined Fling and didn’t post a pic, got 8 women interested in me 24 hours..and I wrote nothing..how fake. The AFF people just create fake profiles using porn stars etc. Goggle buy dating profiles and people are selling them, if you want to create your own dating site.

According to the CDC, there are over 65 million Americans currently
living with an STD, 19 million new STD infections each year, one in three
sexually active men and women living with Herpes, and about 50% of all
sexually active Americans affected by HPV. How many of these people get the virus from the people they find at AdultFriendFinder.com? We don’t know, but there should be so many.

Maybe sites like AdultFriendFinder.com are helping pozgroup.com to acquire $ 1 billion.

Second, most of the posters in this thread (with the exception of a few, including Markus, who was and I hope continues to be a very successful participant in the AFF ecosystem) are basing their comments on this post alone without insight into the AFF’s business or benefit of industry context.

What I will share is the following:

1 – AFF is the result of the efforts of one man: The Professor. His quirky personality, technical genius (he’s got a PhD from Stanford engineering for gosh sakes) and intense entrepreneurial business focus and determination are perhaps the single-handed determinants for AFF’s success. He is surrounded by a great team. But, he with another team also would have been successful. Another team, without him, would not.

The motivation for sale and valuation for the event are reasonable and, in fact, this is an exceptional outcome, based on several factors and influences:

1 – People. The founder is unbelieveable with technology. Managing the hundreds of employees, thousands of affiliates, etc. however, requires patience, empathy and ambiguity: people skills he has more difficulty with. Why continue the stress, headaches and worry? When you expect everyone to think and perform at your level, you’re inevitably irritated and disappointed.

2 – Regulators and Industry – There are or could be a lot of government and law enforcement entities, State’s Attorney’s General, FTC, subpoena’s, office raids, Sheriffs, IRS, banking authorities (especially when your’e running hundreds of $Ks daily on AFF member’s personal credit cards for monthly gold membership fees), etc. that don’t understand AFF’s business and are at least curious and investigative.

3 – Monetization and Liquidity – So, let’s say you have a $300M revenue / $100M EBIDTA business in the adult industry. How do you translate that to a real $1B payday. IPO? No way. Sell to large Internet company? Sure, like NWS or GOOG are going to touch AFF with a 10 foot pole.

I say great work. He deserves it. I hope that The Professor finds peace and enjoyment, postprandial. If you meet him, don’t call him Andy.

I for one, am still in a Thanksgiving mood. Gobble, Gobble.
