Ashley Madison claims a disappointing Mother's Day prompted women to sign up for the dating site.
A seriously bad Mother's Day has prompted a whopping 52,684 moms to cheat? That's what a dating site for affairs, Ashley Madison, says. According to FOX Business, the site reported a 321 percent increase in traffic following Mother's Day, presumably to take advantage of the site's one-day special for free messaging. On an average day, 3,000 women sign up for Ashley Madison, so needless to say, that over-50,000 stat is a huge jump—also up 60% from last Mother's Day when the same offer was on the table.

In bizarre survey news, a recent poll just revealed that Coldplay and Lady Gaga fans are among the least likely to have sex on the first date. According to NME.com, the survey was conducted by Tastebuds.fm, a dating site that matches people up based on their music preferences.
Looking for your soul mate? A new dating site findyourfacemate.com suggests you look in the mirror.
Some people look like their dogs, but even stranger? People who look like their significant others. It's one of those things you sometimes don't notice at first, until you do and then it's all you can think about. Well, turns out, those lookalike couples might be on to something: the secret to relationship success.
Would you use a dating site that's partially a parody?
For the most part, there are two strategies with online dating: it's either a number's game or a matter of niche. But is it possible to be too niche? For instance, Impersonals.net is in many ways a homage to traditional dating sites, but it's also a parody. While its features and first-person accounts are funny, will people tuse a site that makes a joke of the whole dating experience?
They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But is it a good idea to choose a date by the books he or she reads? Apparently, someone thinks so. The new dating site—Alikewise.com—launched in July and pairs people according to their taste in books. Sure, it sounds good on paper, but I'm not convinced.
The worst fashion crimes this year according to single online daters—are you guilty?

Dating sites see success catering to the beautiful—and the ugly.
Should you stick to singles who are as attractive as you for dating success? Some dating websites think so. A couple who met on an ugly person's dating site recently got married. We wonder: are ugly and beautiful dating sites a good or bad idea?
There are a few things to keep in mind when online dating: 1) A picture says a thousand words, 2) if you're looking for something very specific, go for a niche site and 3) know thyself. A new dating site has the latter two facets covered in spades (with a little of the first thrown in for grins). A place called TheUglyBugBall has surfaced in the UK, a place known for its abject honesty. The dating site is BeautifulPeople.com's opposite, in that it's for people who realize they're unattractive.
Per dating site OKCupid, BlackBerry and Droid owners have less sex than iPhone users do.
The good folks at OK Cupid (the dating site) did a study correlating which mobile device their users upload photos from. They then cross-referenced that data (those data, if you will) with personality tests such as the "Slut Test" and realized that iPhone users have more sex partners than users of the BlackBerry or the Android.
