Live Your Life, Let Love Follow Says Lifeknot
Online Partnering Not Just for Singles Anymore.
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) April 19, 2005 -- Finding friends with whom we share interests and
passions is as important as finding a significant other. This is the philosophy
of LIFEKNOT, an activity partnering website that welcomes those already in
relationships. Rather than chasing love, lifeknot proposes that their users live
their life, meet people that share their interests and, as a bonus for singles,
let love follow.
“Focusing on shared activities provides advantages over
traditional online dating sites,” states Matt Muro, founder of lifeknot (www.lifeknot.com), still a
completely free service attracting new members. “The emphasis with our approach
isn’t on personality traits and dating so much as it is helping people meet new
friends to share activities they enjoy.”
Placing emphasis on shared
activities rather than shared personality traits lessens the vulnerability
people feel when posting a profile online. lifeknot activity profiles permit
people to show a side of themselves that isn’t conveyed through traditional
personality profiles alone. As a result, people feel more comfortable contacting
each other; activities shared serve as icebreakers and provide the reassurance
that interests are other than skin deep.
The benefit for singles using a
service that includes those in relationships is that it creates a larger network
of people from which singles can meet new loves via new friends and activities.
The advantage for those in relationships is that they have a large pool of
people from which they can choose activity partners for pastimes they might not
share with their significant other.
lifeknot currently lists over 500
activities across 38 categories. Users frequently suggest additional categories
and activities as they seek people that share their interests and
passions--passions that are as diverse as sled dog racing, short films, sushi,
scrabble, sci-fi and surfing–to name a few. lifeknot makes it as easy as a
mouse-click to compare activities with other users. The same feature may also be
used to compare such things as favorite bands, books, movies and tv
shows.
In Muro’s own words, “We really want people to just have fun
sharing their interests. If love follows we’re happy to have helped.”
