'Four pronged method' Must have got it from the book of lame metaphors. Calls into mind: Snare, trap, net, bait, barb, hook. But seriously, haven't people got anything better to do?

Four pronged method .! I can think of three receptacles for prong's but I'm struggling to add the fourth unless of course they are referring to some sort of double vanal spitroast type of engagement in which case I'm disgusted ..

Facebook will weasel its way into every corner of life given time and there are other too like CP at it as well. It/they will become an ever bigger monstrosity than it/they already is/are. The age of the megacorp is coming and they will control so much...government too, as the sheeple will just charge of the cliff edge like lemmings in their never-ending quest to have all things on a little screen glued to their face.

Facebook brings dating service to Thailand in Asia first

By ASINA PORNWASIN’ 
THE NATION

 

Sharp

 

FACEBOOK yesterday officially launched its dating service in Thailand as the first market in Asia and second in the world for the new offering.
 

 Facebook Dating is available to users of the social network who are aged at least 18.

 

 Nathan Sharp, product manager of Facebook Dating and product lead for people discovery, said that this feature is a result of the company’s mission to make Facebook the single best place to start a relationship online.

 

“Facebook Dating is a dedicated feature within the Facebook app, specially designed to give people full control of their experience looking for a meaningful relationship”, he said.

 

 “People will be able to match with others based on their preferences and interests, through a dedicated dating profile inside the main Facebook app.

 

“Dating profile associates with a Facebook profile, including just a name and age, and is separated from the user’s Facebook profile.”

 

Sharp said that the dating service is designed for meaningful relationships rather than short-term unions and the feature is an opt-in that allows people to decide to use it, rather than it being by default.

 

Moreover, it is in the Facebook app - not a separate app - but only non-friends (on Facebook) and friends of friends can see a user’s dating profile, which is separate profile from the Facebook profile. 

 

Location selection is required since privacy is a key concern.

 

“Facebook Dating’s messenger is of a different type to Facebook Messenger. It allows only text and emoji icon to be sent. 

 

“Photos, files, and links cannot be sent via the dating messenger,” said Sharp.

 

He added that Facebook Dating is the new place to first establish a relationship. It was launched first in Colombia.

The feature will also facilitate people to have dating experiences through Event & Group as well.

 

In Thailand, around 52 million people use Facebook every month, and these people are potential users of the dating services.

 

“Facebook Discovery is designed to be the very best place for people meet the first time while Facebook Dating is designed to be the very best place for people’s relationships,” Sharp said. 

 

In the United States, one-third of marriages started as relationships online.

A trait to be admired....

Just what I need...14000 fbook friends...Hi honey I'm home..

First question, is it free?

 

Next if it uses names and ages from actual facebook profiles, then what if a married guy is searching for a gik, girlfriend with benefits or just a short time encounter? All those who know him have to do is go into the facebook dating, search for the name and all will be revealed. This also applies to cheating wives and girlfriends.

 

I think soon the family courts will be overwhelmed with divorce cases and maybe even murders when spouses catch their partners having affairs using this service.

 

Better off to stay with Thai Friendly, much more discrete.
