Setting up a pseudo SA site/competitor and want some input from you guys.

Want to know what guys like and what they hate.

The more you play with it the better as after playing around with it myself for hours I miss things that should be changed.

Drop me a PM and I'll hook you up.

Guys that are good with WP and Buddypress that might like to tweak it would really be appreciated, but anyone's input is appreciated.

There are only alpha testers on this site.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Well, one could say it is currently in the alpha stage of development...

It's coming along though.

What is an "SA site"?

SA = Seeking Arrangement, probably.

Yes, that's the angle in a way.

To differentiate I'm going with a traditional "provider" angle so it's not quite so in your face about the "arrangement". Basically well off guys that are looking for more traditional girls.

I mean what well off guy wants some feminist whale of a harpy?

None that has choices. And any guy with resources has choices.

The plan is to market it along these lines. ie-Not feminist friendly.

Will also have an affiliate program that pays pretty well, including recurring, to get the site out there in front of people.

The site is fairly functional at the moment. Need to change out logos and such and do some tuning but it is getting there.

Are you using a pre-made script with changes or new from the ground up? I can beta test it if you like.

I've been working on 2 dating sites and I've written the code from the ground up and it is about 60% done but now I'm wondering if I should just buy an existing script and super customize it for better results. The sites will be basic dating sites targeting small niches (1 is a specific country, 1 is for a certain religion) not SA.

Pre made as a test of concept. Assuming it takes off I will likely get a custom solution built.

Sent you a PM.

You wouldn't by any chance using the Sweet Date template from Theme Forest for your website would you? I'm asking cause a buddy of mine and two are trying to build a dating site of our own and your template looks pretty simllar to ours. I'm in the process of doing some WP teaking - hope I'll be able to ask you for some tips.
