Dating / matchmaking websites

I have gotten some to talk to me, it didn't go anywhere because the values differed to much or they lived to far away. I think the main thing that is posing a problem is that we live in a society where polygyny does not want to be done. Modernpolygamy.com seems to be really excellent at keeping spam fake accounts away. But this reveals the startling reality that there are so few women actually seeking polygyny. There needs to be a rise in popularity of polygyny for any of us to have a chance at finding someone.

Thank you! We try really hard to run a tight ship.

Regarding the numbers...to be open, we currently rank at #3 on the primary search terms, with the two other sites above us. This means 2-3x the amount of traffic is available.

We're making progress as far as aggregate traffic is concerned and advertise heavily to compensate. However, if anyone reading this with a vested interest in polygamy has a blog related to the subject, linking to us or to one of our blog articles would contribute to our mission.

If you believe we serve the niche and community the best, we would appreciate your help and will continue to run a tight ship.
 
Glad we could help! :)

Personally, I lean heavily toward being too verbose and with every version of our profile my wife says that I say too much.

The ideal is to pique someone's interest enough to contact you but not cover so much that it takes away from the initial conversation.

I have seen this successfully done in one mid-length paragraph, and also done in a 6 paragraph lengthy profile.

...likewise, I've seen both short and very long that have absolutely no hope. So more than length, it's riding that line that determines success.

I would recommend changing your profile settings to that you are seeking a couple and then browsing to see what other people are doing. You'll know a good profile when you see it and it should give you some ideas. ...just don't forget to change the setting back! :)

I have been thinking about how would polygyny be outreached and potentially put in the spot light. it seems now days blogs, reels and etc is what reaches people the most. now as far as grabbing everyone's attention probably the best route would be to use the tags grabbing all the attention on those polygamy reality tv shows. i have never watched any of them but i do know that in alot of my searching for polygyny related things on the internet.... those shows always take the limelight in my searches. I am guessing the shows may be a bit of a hot mess, but using blogs to grab the tags of those shows and redirect the enormous traffic they get to well written blogs on how polygny can be done in a good normal way for us normal masses would peak alot of interest and cause alot of "ahhh of course!" moments.

I will also say as far as the polygamy dating sites, i have come across multiple profiles that did state they came to seeking polygamy through watching those shows. whether we like it or not, those shows have put polygamy in the lime light a bit. so a well written blog highlighting the real benefits to us NON crazy hyped up reality show people.... like close bonds between wives and child birthing, chores of the house lightened by many hands. economic benefit to the whole household and etc would be a good thing!
 
Everybody has already thought about possibly of multi-person relationship, even if only for duration of one night. Problem is that people remove such relationships from serious consideration.

There is no woman on this planet at least 25 year old who didn't see man's polygynous nature. Yet, why is such blidness and refusal to see it except in morally negative sense of cheating?

Wait a minute. If I'm not mistaken, what you were replying to was about Modern Polygamy. If so, you never had a paid account, and haven't been on long enough for one to lapse if you had.

I would appreciate if you could clarify the site you are referring to as this reflects badly on us. While you may be able to claim that you don't get the response you had hoped for, in spite of the puppy, this is one claim that can not be made.

...not least because it's free to reply without a paid account so doing this kind of scam that another site may do would be pointless because you wouldn't need a paid account to carry on the conversation.

I had thought he was talking about sisterwives.com. It would be good to have that confirmed though.

No, sorry for the confusion. The comment was about sisterwives.com.

I do not see this problem on your site. As far as I can determine your site, Modern Polygamy, seems to be totally above board.

Keep up the good work!

I'm so sorry to hear how you were treated. I'm always amazed when I hear about women being treated like this. There are probably ten times more couples than single women who want to be the second wife. But I am encouraged when I hear of women like you that are truly looking for a couple/family. I hope things are going a lot better for you now and that your heart is no longer in a cage. God bless you.

Just my own personal experience. I was a paid member on sisterwives.com for a year and yes I do believe that they either use bots to get you interested in a paid plan (because once you sign up for free you must pay to speak to the women that show interest in you) or they might just use actual people that work for them with their own accounts (or fake accounts) that pretend to show interest in you, until you pay the membership that is. After I did not renew our membership and had deleted my account, I then began to get messages from women saying they where interested at about a rate of one every six days in my email box! I didn't even get that much attention when I was a paid member, lol, and they didn't even have an account to view to write me from. Very "fishy" IMO.

We had a paid account on sisterwives.com for a year. It was almost a complete waste of time. We did manage to meet a few real people, but fishing through all the fake accounts was a daunting task!

The changes that were touted have not been forthcoming so far and the prices are going up dramatically. Failing to see the value in renewal when the time comes.

You know what creeps me right the redacted out?

Based on my observations, vastly more couples are willing to consider a one time or occasional various playmates for whoopee time than would ever consider a plural marriage. So completely ass backwards as to be insane.
Getting some short term thrill is clearly so much better than marriage, commitment and love. Why didn't I see it earlier? I mean...there is so much less threat to ones security and that of the children if you just throw a stanger in the mix every now and then with some baby oil and whip cream or whatever rather than a friend, partner and help meet. Much better idea. Frickin genius.
 
At this point online dating in general, much less for polygamy, is entirely broken. I've yet to see an approach that fixes it. "Online dating, but for polygamy." isn't a winning formula.

And that's the least of our problems as marriage in general is dying society wide.

The whole marriage thing hasn't been good for a very long time. Whether people have the license or not isn't the issue, it's the commitment to the relationship; it's determining to stay together through all the challenges that come along and it's no different for any number of wives a man may have. To quote a very familiar passage; Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate (Matt. 19:6). If they have united in a relationship, that's it! They ought to stay together and not wreck it by separating.

In current society there is less risk in such behaviour.

What is worse is that bloody "poly" people in all of their various and disgustingly sundry configurations with any number of random couplings...they can raise children openly and generally without threat. Their degenerate shenanigans suit the cathedral and the direction of destroying family integrity and giving children firm foundations.

I agree wholeheartedly! I have abandoned my effort to maintain the site ... too much time and effort required. I am willing to consult for anyone who would like to embark on such a venture though.
 
Our creator is still the ultimate perfect matchmaker. Just sayin'.....

Of course using His services means choosing His will......it costs more then a few dollars.....but the results are worth it.

God is sometimes a very difficult matchmaker. He leads you to where He wants you to be and not always where you want to be.
