Do you think Habbo is slowly become a dating site?

[MKR&*42]

Hmm, a thread I saw earlier made me wonder about this...

Do you think that Habbo is slowly, but surely, becoming a dating site? Not like.. meet up irl date, but people who want to date people online or... go on cam with them (needs no explanation.)

I mean, look at the Habbo advert;

"Check in and find your perfect match today!"

You also have the options to give people roses and a thread is showing a future update for Habbo where you can 'blow kisses'.

Tbh, I think Sulake are trying to 'grip' more people in via dating - I disagree with it completely, it's becoming too much of a kids game... but sustaining the element of dating? Good logic sulake The advert is completely mis-leading and encouraging people to be "noobs" and go to dating rooms saying "G0 0n cam with me" or "add me on fb - (username here)"

The roses.. I think are ok, they're quite neat as well - but blowing a kiss seems a bit weird (especially if you look at how the update is meant to look.. it just looks like the Habbo is breaking their arm) - I wouldn't be surprised if this became like the sims and you had an option to "WOOHOO" at this rate -_-

But yeah, do you think it is becoming a dating site?

small answer: no.

relationships and discovering the opposite (or same) sex are a part of growing up. habbo is mainly made up of people of the age when they are experimenting and discovering, so these things happen but habbo don't really encourage it that much.

Not at all really. If people want to date on line, they can. Not everyone is like that - and I really don't think everyone will be at any time.

I don't class the ''oh look this is my second e-gf this week who i found in sexy singles'' as dating tbh. That's why, to me, it'll never be a dating site.

Habbo is a roleplay site, full of children trying to live life online.

So relationships will happen, they aren't real and must of time they are just to do some experimenting and see what cyber 'love/sex' is like on impulse.

So no it isn't a dating site, and never will be.

[Succubus]

No not really, Habbo hasusuallybeen like this.
Its also arole playsite so to be honest not really!

[karter]

I only see 2 dating rooms in the room with most visitors thing.

And both of them are singles nightclubs, not really dating rooms

Your opinion of a "noob" may somewhat vary to other's views and opinions. Now, the idea of "dating", is, as said above merely part of growing up. However I do agree that the idea of blowing a kiss it's quite frankly ******* wierd.

You could say that Habbo is becoming something similar to a dating site. Every time I log on, all I get is "asl".

Here's a conversation I had the other day,

Random Girl: I really like you. Do you want to go out with me???
Me: I don't even know you so why would I go out with you?
Random Girl: Cause I love you
Me: How could you love me if you don't even know me
Random Girl: I just do
So what do you say???
Me: Got to go now, bye.
