MDRB Holdings Inc. today announced the launch of SingleCity.com and SingleCity e-Date, the newest online dating community for singles of all ages.

MDRB Holdings Inc. today announced the launch of SingleCity.com and SingleCity e-Date, the newest online dating community for singles of all ages. “SingleCity will be more than just an internet dating site.” said Maria DeVito, President of MDRB. “Why should a singles site be only about dating? Romance is great, but so is friendship and the opportunity to interact socially with other single people. At SingleCity you have options – and many different ways to meet people for romance, friendship or networking opportunities.”

At SingleCity, participants can meet through a typical online dating connection, attend a speed dating party, join a sporting team, attend a specialty class, get away on a fabulous excursion, or even attend a virtual speed dating party. The website is leading the way in virtual dating, a constantly growing alternative to traditional dating.

Focus groups conducted by MDRB have confirmed something that has been resonating as the defining choices in this relatively new genre of dating; men prefer meeting people on the internet, while women prefer one-on-one interaction at a party or structured dating event. With this in mind, SingleCity e-Date provides both conveniences to its members through its pre-arranged virtual speed dating parties. SingleCity members join in on this interactive dating game by reserving a spot at the party they wish to attend, and then logging into the party from a computer anywhere in the world.

“SingleCity e-Date is a unique way for people introduce themselves to others.” explains Roy Bavaro, Vice President of MDRB. “At these events you chat one-on-one and have up to 20 virtual dates in one session. During the session, participants have private and secure chats with each other for 5 minutes, while at the same time, viewing your “dates” profile and photo. At the conclusion of each date, participants privately select whether they have an interest of romance, friendship or networking, or none. And a minute later, you're onto your next date. It slashes the amount of time it generally takes for people to meet through an internet connection. In 5 minutes (or less) you will know if you want to pursue that introduction.”

SingleCity e-Date is just one of the many features of SingleCity, offering its members more and more ways to expand both their social and professional circle of friends. SingleCity e-Date parties are only offered to premium members of SingleCity. Premium memberships to SingleCity are $15.95 per month, and entitle members to participate in all virtual speed dating events, enjoy all other online dating activities, receive discounts to other live events and discounts to other functions and promotions from SingleCity partners.
