Dating site profiles... How to get them?

If someone was to start a dating site...
Where can you get profiles in it?
Can they be purchased?
The problem is... why would someone join a dating site that has no profiles... even if its free...?

Any suggestions?

We once started a dating site in Belgium/The Netherlands, first put in 30 fake profiles of some amateur looking women and then sent traffic to it (not that honest but it worked). After a few months our free datingsite had a couple of 100 of guy profiles and 10-20 real women profiles. @ that point we removed the fake ones and noticed no difference in new profile additions.

But thats how we did it, don't know what you had in mind

We build it as a part of some kind of Linklist.
So the traffic that came to the Linklist had the option to join the dating area

Any other ways, without putting fake profiles?

I would like to know any of your ideas because I plan on making a site too...

My first idea was give some paper ads on the street.

i think many of the profiles are bought from other companies, and they probably charge alot.


one way i thought of geting alot of people into a dating site is to offer a free chat board...city by city.

and then offer girls a free membership and charge the guys.

just a way to get it kickstarted, but if done right you coule probably wrap up alot of large cities.
