I suspect no one of those companies are designed to be profitable ever.
They have big losses because they sell below cost to gain traction.
All cloned companies seem like bubbles.

They are full (in excess) of phantom companies, shell companies.
And not only they have lots of phantom companies, shell companies. There is a very complicated and intriguing interlace of them. (very suspicious situation)

ONLY ONE ROAD TO ACHIEVE INNOVATIONS
The Online Dating Industry needs Innovations, but the innovations the Online Dating Industry needs will come from only one source: the latest discoveries in theories of romantic relationships development with commitment.

Only 3 major discoveries can help to revolutionize the online dating industry.

I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users. "Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
II) People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other system that learns your preferences are useless)
III) What is important in attracting people to one another may not be important in making couples happy.

Compatibility is all about a high level on personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating with commitment.

“AshleyMadison has paid people to write profiles, and they’ve allowed fake profiles to proliferate on their site,” said David Evans, an industry consultant who has contracted with Ashley Madison in the past and has tracked the business of online dating since 2002. “Tons of sites are guilty of that.

eHarmony 15th Anniversary, A BIG HOAX

eHarmony, is a 15 years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.

The normative Big5 model (a.k.a. Big Five, FFI, FFM, Five Factor Model, OCEAN model) to measure personality of daters had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to measure personality of daters. Now replaced by HEXACO test, a.k.a Big Six test. The BIG5 normative personality test is the biggest mistake Psychologists made since several years ago. The BIG5 is also known as the Five Factor Model theory of personality traits, a psychological model based on research by Paul Costa and Robert McCrae.

The Big Five normative test had been replaced by HEXACO or Big Six test.

eHarmony's 14th birthday
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2014/08/today-eharmonys-14th-birthday.html

The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY, but ...
the only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals (needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between prospective mates.)
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.

Please read: The 8 tips to innovate in the Online Dating Industry!
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/12/the-8-tips-to-innovate-in-online-dating.html
The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement", not 100% better, 100X better, really an INNOVATION.
The Online Dating Industry needs a very powerful algorithm like the "Teller Ulam design". In this case 100 times more powerful than actual matching algorithms.

NOT 100% better, 100 times better!

British users of dating website PlentyofFish (POF) warned their bank accounts are at risk of being hacked after website was targeted by criminals
Users could have had malicious spying software installed on computer.
It can track every keystroke whenever they access their bank accounts.
'Malware' is smuggled into computers by seemingly ordinary adverts.
'Banking Trojan' dubbed Tinba lays in wait for users to enter details.

http://www.inquisitr.com/2313244/ashley-madison-hack-update-new-87-page-report-shows-how-ashleymadison-com-gained-users-as-confessions-grow/

... AshleyMadison ..... was, in fact, running two businesses. The first is the well-known “extramarital dating site.” The second was collecting private information from customers seeking discretion and then selling it to the highest bidders. AshleyMadison sold its customers on discretion and privacy, then sold private consumer information for profit.

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/biz-monday/article31166975.html

This business model has made AshleyMadison a very large target under the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Under that act, unfair competition and unfair or deceptive acts or omissions are the two main types of violations. False or deceptive advertising or trade practices include making statements in connection with the sale of goods or services known to be untrue or misleading.

Hacking The Hookup App: Can We Save Online Dating With More Data?

http://www.ibtimes.com/hacking-hookup-app-can-we-save-online-dating-more-data-2054356

Please see Tinder and the Dawn of the “Dating Apocalypse”
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2015/08/article-tinder-and-dawn-of-dating.html

Social dating is vaporware. Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient. It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance. The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests". Innovations are not adding more bells and whistles to actual online dating sites.

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement", not 100% better, 100X better, really an INNOVATION.
The Online Dating Industry needs a very powerful algorithm like the "Teller Ulam design". In this case 100 times more powerful than actual matching algorithms.

LIFEPROJECT METHOD: 100X better than eHarmony, not 100% better, 100 times better!

Social dating is vaporware. Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient. It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance. The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests". Innovations are not adding more bells and whistles to actual online dating sites.
