Dating Safety and XOXY

Current Dating Environment

Current dating environment: Approximately 105 million unmarried people based on the U.S. Census!

Current world: Advances in technology have led to a breakdown in meaningful communication. The majority of the dating population interacts through the use of texting and online dating portals.

Current communication channel anonymity provides veils for both fraudulent and criminal activity.

Technology and Dating: The NEED for XOXY Increased Exposure. A few years ago 2-3 people was the average

number of individuals one might meet for a real date. Today, that average is over 2-3 a week! (Cyber Date stage)

Decreased Human Interaction creates the “Cyber Dating” phase of the dating cycle. Investments of time/emotions long before meeting.

Texting and email >>> Replace CallingSending pictures >>> Replace actual meetingFacebook/Chatting >>> Replace social gatheringsVideo chat >>> Replaces the need to “actually” visit people  

“Dating Screen vs. the Dating Scene” Lack of personal interaction has increased the ability to deceive! Technology has crippled our communication instincts.

Catfishing and Dating Scams

“Catfishing” a term coined for the deceptive practice of creating a fictitious persona to “hook or lure in a date”!

Through online dating profiles, the culprit or “catfisher” utilizes a fake profile, fake photos and fake biographical information, in order to create a romantic connection for exploitation.

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center reports that Americans have been scammed out of approximately $85,000,000 in 2014 due to “catfishing” and similar crimes of deception.

Casual Dating Consequences The increase in dating “hook-up” apps has resulted in a

HUGE increase in sexually transmitted diseases. Dating “apps” have led to increased health risks. In Rhode

Island alone, syphilis has increased by seventy nine percent (79%), HIV by thirty three percent (33%) and gonorrhea by thirty percent (30%) from 2013 to 2014.

FACT: Casual dating with a large and diverse population has resulted in a rapid increase in STD transmission.

Why XOXY? “As a mother and an insurance/risk management

professional for over 20 years, safety and security are always in my daily thoughts. It’s a very different dating world today as most couples are no longer introduced through friends or a relative. While discussing escalating crimes committed against women during a visit to my daughter’s college campus, I decided to create XOXY. My hope, is that some level of assurance can be provided to our sons, daughters, friends and families creating a more safe and secure dating environment.”  Jo Lynn Clemens-XOXY CEO/Founder
