I’m excited to hear that you seem to be exploring the launch of a different kind of dating club.

Is the type still a secret? I’ve always felt that dating clubs were too much of a “big-box” operation. I love the Don Quixote-esque, black-market-like thrills they offer, but how well does that really work as a business? An ex-boyfriend of a woman I’ve known for years is now the owner of a major adult-entertainment group. Apparently, by breaking the industry down into dozens of specialized businesses and bringing them together under one umbrella, he managed to “uncover latent demand itself.” I heard his story the other day and was unexpectedly moved by a life filled with sweat, tears, wisdom, and laughter. (Though he still wouldn’t marry her, haha.) Could the “specialization” approach that worked for the service-oriented adult-entertainment industry be unsuitable for dating clubs, which are essentially a matchmaking business?
