GREATBOYFRIENDS.COM –- WHERE SMART PEOPLE GO TO SET UP THEIR FRIENDS
How It Works
GreatBoyfriends.com is the new frank, fun, creep-free way to set your friend up with a great catch who's been given a good friend's seal of approval. A unique referral-based dating service (think: Friendster…with privileges), GreatBoyfriends.com takes the ick-factor out of online dating (no married men here, thank you!) by offering access to preapproved potential suitors through entertaining, candid profiles written by a great pal -- or better yet, an ex -- who knows him (and his quirks) best.
It’s Frank.
Profiles on GreatBoyfriends.com tell it like it is. Unlike other dating sites that simply list statistics, our profiles ditch the pickup lines and get down to what you really want to know about a date based on a description written by an ex, close friend, coworker, or sibling who knows them -- and their weaknesses -- best.
It’s Fun.
Because the site lets friends and family act as third-party endorsers for potential dates (personal publicists, if you will), we make it fun for both the matchmaker and the date seeker. Witty recommendations list all the juicy details from key date traits (humor, loyalty, honesty) and smarts and hobbies to fun 411 (if they'd prefer to have Halle Berry or Albert Einstein over for dinner; if they've got Depeche Mode or Spice Girls loaded on their iPod, and if his Great Dane will get along with her tiny Maltese). But don't fret, darling: there are plenty of pictures of these desirable singles as well.
It’s Safe.
GreatBoyfriends has revolutionized the way smart singles find nice matches online. The fact is you cannot list yourself on our site (and yes, every single recommendation is checked by our staff to see if it is real and true. If they can't verify that it is, the recommendation is rejected). You can trust us to set up your friends and know that no jerks -- married or single -- or other undesirables will slip through the cracks.
