Will WooMe Woo Thee Towards Online Dating?

No thanks, Fembot.

Online-dating sites, while fun and successful for those in the know, can be very daunting to your average, not-so-computer-savvy individual. Getting lost in the sea of PC-murdering spam and creepy come-hithers when looking for a date online is quite simple when you don’t have a clue what to do.

What gives, internet?

Bridging the gap between the informal, formal and humorous is WooMe, an intuitive way to meet people online in a more interactive fashion.

The premise is simple: WooMe throws users right into the deep-end first, meeting one person via webcam a minute – yes, a minute. A rapid-fire chat session with each person is done with keywords picked by the user; ask them about their likes and dislikes through their default subjects to see if you’re compatible with them. After five one-minute sessions you can choose to contact the user of your interest for a dollar – yes, a dollar.

WooMe is speed-dating at its finest – but it’s not limited to flash-in-the-pan romances, either. Users can utilize WooMe’s webcam system to meet friends, travel buddies and whatnot. Seeing that it’s a beta I would recommend using it now before all the slimeballs catch on, solicit minors, get involved in a scandal that plays out on national television and ruins the fun for us well-adjusted adventurous types.

As of today WooMe works only on Pacific Time. So if you’re on the east coast (or in any other time-zone for that matter) plan on reworking your schedule to give it a proper try.

    Interesting and could be cool. As someone who thinks traditional dating sites are growing lame, a fun and fresh take to meeting people that uses the advances in webcam tech is appealing.

  • Kathy says:

    Looks to me like just a silly gimmick and having webcams and speed dating makes it too casual, waste your time and doesn’t offer any advantage over the old dating sites like match.com.
    I personally prefer sites like Eharmony and SantaMatch where they filter out the non-compatible people for you. SantaMatch is my favorite, mainly because there is no monthly fees and it uses a really accurate matching system in my experience.

  • Samantha says:

    I agree. I wouldn’t sign up to a dating site just to meet guys that I can meet at my local bar. If I sign up for anything, I want to know if we have anything in common. I tried dating sites where you get emails from men who are 30 years older than you. What’s the point?

  • charles says:

    It’s a simplest way to find the true friends of your life. We don’t have a lot of time in our current life schedule. The life schedule is very busy, so being this busy life style we have a very easy way for fun & friends & dating, all on the Internet, sign up to a dating site just to meet guys at suitable place.
