“速配”网站相亲 男女3分钟轮换聊天

北京8月5日电 美国旧金山一名女子登录一家“速配”网站,在24小时内轻松完成300次相亲约会。

在中国,网恋也帮了不少人的忙 据法新社5日报道,男女定时轮换交谈的“速配”聚会大约10年前开始流行,而互联网技术更使这种“速配”如虎添翼。美国主要“速配”网站SpeedDate.com和WooMe.com使用90秒和3分钟两种计时器,到规定时间便自动切断约会男女的网上视频聊天。如果双方一见钟情,过后可重新联络。 WooMe.com网站负责人说:“如果你遇到意中人,3分钟不够用;如果你不喜欢对方,30秒也嫌长。

“1分钟速配”的交友网站走红英国

在英国,单身男女一直都崇尚浪漫的交往,而近年来兴起的网络交友热潮则令无数单身网民为之倾倒。但实际上,由于骗子横行和对网络陌生人的不信任感,在传统网络交友模式下吃尽苦头的网民大有人在。不过,英国日前兴起的一个崇尚“1分钟速配”的交友网站WooMe.com将可能改变单身网民们的悲观情绪,从而引发新一轮的网络交友浪潮。
速配步骤1:免费注册成为会员,并提交详细资料由网站保管
速配步骤2:在“聊天室”中与其他会员进行仅为1分钟的视频交流
速配步骤3:有意者可以在征得对方同意后花1英镑向网站索取进一步的资料深入了解
英国人口统计机构的调查结果显示,10年前的英国有600万“单身贵族”。而今天,全英单身人群的数量已经达到1100万,几乎翻了一倍。还有预测指出,到了2017年,这个数目将飙升到1600万!而根据科研机构2007年最新的抽查结果,只有25%的单身网民对能够在网络上找到自己的真爱抱有信心。
1分钟视频定乾坤
WooMe.com网站由一群曾经饱受传统网络交友模式之苦的网民创立,他们中间既有大学生,又有金融工作者,还有来自NASA的工程师。据悉,WooMe.com网站的运作方式与此前时兴的一系列交友网站诸如Face-book和MySpace等完全不同。创办人之一的尼克拉斯·岑斯特罗姆表示,他们的网站信奉着“1分钟速配”的宗旨。素昧平生的男女们在免费注册成为会员后,其详细资料不会主动出现在网站页面中。会员们可以在不同的“聊天室”中进行网络视频交流,但交流的时间仅限1分钟,而每个聊天室的最大容纳量也不会超过10人。如果对方在1分钟内能够给另一方留下良好的印象,那么有意者就可以在征得对方同意后花1英镑向网站索取对方进一步的资料进行深入了解。
新模式既安全又省时
对此,网站的另一创办人克劳斯·胡莫解释称,这样的操作方式既保护网民的资料,又不耗费单身网民宝贵的时间。只有在1分钟的短暂时间中萌生出好感的双方才能真正开始进一步的交流,这也能使得交友成功率大幅上升。
目前,WooMe.com已经进行了一个多月的测试运行,取得了很好的效果。网站的一名管理人员说:“大部分注册的网民都非常认真,他们渴望在网上找到自己的爱人,但也有一些不法分子通过伪造资料来骗取信任。但我们的防护措施非常严密,我们会详细审查资料的真伪,并且在他们初次见面后进行跟进调查,确保万无一失。”
各大网站纷纷取经
尽管已经取得初步的成功,WooMe.com的创始人们却丝毫不敢松懈。由于这种别出心裁的交友模式受到广大单身网民的热捧,WooMe.com也引起了英国几大交友网站的注意,一场为了争夺单身网民的大战即将打响。
全英第3大交友网站Friends Reunited的经营主管盖尔·劳伦对WooMe.com的运作模式大为赞赏,并表示将顺应目前的形势,推出一系列全新的服务。她说:“就在我们为如何吸引会员而伤脑筋的时候,他们(WooMe.com)为我提供了最棒的点子。”而英国最具实力的交友网站DatingDirect的动作更快,就在WooMe.com推出后不久,DatingDirect便宣布将试行一种由视频和对话组成的网络交友模式。
成功案例1 斯托克尔斯
作为网站创始人之一斯蒂芬的妹妹,斯托克尔斯是WooMe.com最初的筹划者。现年23岁的她是圣地亚哥大学的学生,她曾在Face-book和MySpace交由网站上耗费了大量时间和精力。她将网络交友的最大弊端归结为:“人们无法直接地交流,这也使得人们在交友过程中存在着不信任和畏惧的思想,这种思想也将在很大程度上左右两个人感情的发展。”
在WooMe.com创立后,负责测试网站的斯托克尔斯也得到了回报。她在自己的设想下找到了真爱——一名来自曼彻斯特大学的英俊青年。
成功案例2 娜奥米
现年28岁的娜奥米是一位来自伦敦北部的单身女性,渴望爱情的她曾经多次加入不同的交友网站,但却一无所获。她叹息着说:“他们真的很糟糕。在见面前,每个人都用他们最好的照片、最有趣的言语来燃起我的希望;但见面后,他们开始变得很粗俗,既没有像之前一样的潇洒也没有那么风趣——这也许就是他们至今依然单身的最大原因。”
不过,在加入WooMe.com后,娜奥米与一名32岁的地产经纪人在1分钟的交流后交换了资料,并且已经开始进一步的约会。
