I plan to attend the Shanghai conference with one other employee from our company, Online Buddies, Inc. We operate the websites www.manhunt.net and www.manhunt.jp, which are dating websites for gay men in the U. S. and internationally. Our Japanese website has been very slow to catch on (compared with elsewhere), as Japan is very culturally conservative in dealing with gay men. For instance, the Tokyo gay pride parade might have 5,000 participants while the parade in Sao Paolo, Brazil will have 2 million. From what I hear, China's attitude toward gay men is closer to Japan's than to Brazil's, but we're attending the conference to learn more about China and its opportunities for us, and we're prepared to take a long term view.

Asian market is a very fast growing one and especially in the sphere of Dating and Networking. Besides, their interests are starting to vary and people become more tolerant and progressive.

That means that very soon gay Dating Sites may be popular there and probably it's evident that it's time to go out ot Asian market and offer new service to be the first and to win the audience.

Hey Jonathan

You should consider marketing in South Africa. Cape Town is being promoted worldwide as a gay paradise. There is a very large gay community in South Africa. I have two gay friends.

Anyway I can help open some doors for you if you are interested. Please checkout my LinkedIn profile here:

You can contact me privately if you want to take the discussion further.

Sincerely
Ramon
