(Waldorf speaks to Kate X Messer, in a special to 365gay.com)
… Current CEO Waldorf is “very hopeful that this will work just as well in the gay community. I think that anyone who says that they’re interested in a serious relationship,” he says, “will benefit from [our] deep compatibility matching.”
“As people start using Compatible Partners,” says Waldorf, “We’ll be increasing our knowledge about same-sex relationships and the nuances of how they are similar to and different from opposite-sex relationships. We’ll use those insights to improve the site and add new features to benefit users.”
“The bad feelings that may have existed in the past – from the gay community to eHarmony – I hope, over time, will dissipate,” says Waldorf. “I realize that we’re starting from a position that not everyone thinks highly of us. And I hope people will judge us based on the service that we offer. I believe that we are going to enter this market with the same commitment and credibility around offering individuals a high-quality way to find long-term relationships. And how we got here, to me, is just not relevant.”
