Why did we create Dating Idol?
There are hundreds of popular social networking and dating websites. But its hard to believe those websites have never made any of their Members famous. We had only one question in our mind "Do you really have to be on TV or a popular magazine to be famous?" And the answer was "Dating Idol, the only democratic competition where the members decide who's best based on your personality traits. That means members have the real voice - because our patent-pending judging system eliminates cheaters. Thus, Members get a fair shot to be a winner. The bottom line is, if you're really the Idol Date, the members & your friends will drive you to the top."

So that's why we created Dating Idol. Our mission is to provide a platform for members to showcase themselves and be famous in the entire country and also enable members to meet other members with similar interests. Join us and make some history!

How does the ranking engine work?
The ranking or judging is done via two patent pending algorithms that serve up our voting system. Our algorithm makes sure that every contestant gets the same exposure and no one is left out. Even if you have joined the contest little late in the month, our rating algorithm automatically boosts your exposure so that you are on-par with others.

Our members who judge can filter the contestants only by Gender and not by age, thus giving everyone the equal opportunity to compete against each other. All of the Votes from all of the users are taken together and the ranking engine bubbles up the top contestant to the top!
