]]> Comment on Joining niche dating sites… and Twitter recruitment by Allan Wills http://blog.aymp.com/general-news/criteria-for-joining-a-uniform-dating-site/comment-page-1#comment-1410 Allan Wills Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:38:25 +0000 http://blog.aymp.com/?p=2511#comment-1410 Hi Josh, Thanks for commenting… Really good point, and even more valid coming from someone who is actually in uniform (i.e the target market). So (if I may ask), do you feel that a niche dating site should specify “EMT” or “swing shift hours” to really narrow down their proposition and get the right people to sign up instead of just “uniform” (which is really broad)? And a follow up question: how does a niche uniform dating site compare to a general dating site where you could state on your profile that you work irregular hours? Does a “uniform” spin mean more quality and understanding in your experience? Curious to know. Finally, how do you feel about their Twitter exchange with Chris? Instead of having a conversation along the lines of “Do you work irregular hours? Then this is the place for you” to see if he is right for the site, they were blatantly recruiting anyone and anyone who tweeted them? Does that give you confidence that they are living the creed? No right or wrong answers, just curious how things could be better. Appreciate your time. Thanks Allan Hi Josh,

I am a guy in uniform, a policeman and I have joined this and other such similar dating sites purely because of the fact that I work irregular hours - generally people who wear uniforms do. So it is not about a uniform fetish, it is about meeting and dating people who will understand your irregular work hours and, perhaps, find some cohesion through this irregularity.

(And, as you mentioned, it's seasonal.) Re: the Meet Play Love header - thanks for fresh eyes on that... may dabble in cursive writing again, just need to find time! Keep the comments coming...

On retrospect I wonder whether section headings should've been changed to match the 'Meet. Play. Love?' header rather than the other way around, because the script reminded me of the hand written comments in the red book. That kind of ties in with the previous comment, of photography over graphics - a more natural flairy script might make the page a little more lively or emotive than a standard font. Just an idea. :-) Hi Allan,
