A better approach to online dating?

So some of you, it seems, want a little more out of Match.com than the standard two subpar dates leading to the slightly awkward sex on the third date and then never hearing from the person again. Some of you were shocked when you clicked on the PLAY box on Nerve.com and received emails from every perv in a three-state region. And Craiglist? Well, if you're looking for dates on Craigslist, you totally deserve having some drunk idiot take a dump in your kitchen sink.

On the other hand, perhaps you don't like 7,000 questions or the slightly Go-Go-Jesus vibe that Eharmony has.

Well, fret not, my monkeys. The folks at LTR (that means Long Term Relationship, so if you're just looking to get laid, please revise your stories accordingly) are trying to build a better dating site. And, on top of that, they're asking for your involvement in the beginning.

Here's what they say about themselves: Our goal is to fix online dating. We want to make the safest, most effective site for people to find each other and live happily ever after. LTR.com will be revolutionary because it will be focused on results, not on retaining you as a member. Our site will be free and will have no advertisements. We’re busy developing new technology that works holistically to find the right person for you.

They're even soliciting stories. So if you're the sort who has a few gruesome dating stories, but are too lazy to start your own blog, it's totally the place to go. So check it out.
