$4000? Why did you put this link up ? lol.  I don’t think we understand male sexuality as well as we think we do. Saying men like sex, doesn’t quite seem to be enough, when you are spending that much money on a piece of plastic!!

RE: Evan @5
Evan, as your site is about dating and not business, I will limit my discussion of my point. In summar,y my feeling is that the better OKCupid is/becomes relative to Match.com the more OKCupid will canabilize Match.com paying customers>Thus a zero sum game for the new Match.com/OKCupid org. But if OKCupid customers have one less free site to go to, the more they will tend to go to Match.com & start paying.
 
That’s my bet anyway. We shall see. I promise to admit I called it wrong if within 2 yrs OKCupid is still around /still free/still OK. Put it in your tickle file.

What is more likely: A business spending $$$ for the purposes of (i) acquiring a competitor in order to give  free to people that which you are selling; or (ii) reducing and/or eliminating a significant competitor to the service (mediocre) which you are providing in order to maintain or increase price level. Hmmm. Think. Think.
