		<description>Yes, I agree, with the surge in Popularity of Social Networking sites, it&#039;s only a matter of time for the gradual decline of Sites like E-Harmony, etc. 

E-Harmony has &quot;tried&quot; to offer &quot;Protection&quot;  (ie  RealID).

However, asking an Internet Site to &quot;Protect you&quot; or &quot;Safety&quot; is just as LUDICROUS as saying the Home Owners Association in your Neighborhood is &quot;Supposed&quot; to protect you from Home Burglaries. 

JUST PLAIN NUTS! (What about a little bit of Individual Responsibility?!?!?). God forbid you get raped by a Guy you meet off E-Harmony, how is that E-Harmony&#039;s fault?!?!?!

Sites like Craigslist get 50MM visitors A MONTH, the fact that ONE Tragedy occurs is an absolutely PHENOMENAL Statistic. (IN THEIR FAVOR!). 

I GUARANTEE YOU your Local Bar, there are more Rapes, D.U.I&#039;s, etc. attributed to it, than ANY Online Website. (especially comparing %&#039;s).</description>

		<description>[...] The surging popularity of social networking sites offers alternative avenues for people to socialize, find a date and even, a love match. In some ways, these social networks are encroaching into online dating&#8217;s marketspace.

		<description>If the companies would lower the prices and make it more affordable they would not have to advertise.  Honesty and intergrity needs to be included with these companies.  They also need to keep people safe.</description>
