Play It Safe CEO, Cheryl Rios She's single and looking to (safely) mingle. |
"After 17 years of marriage I found myself single and several people mentioned using online dating services, but the first thing I thought of was, How do I know I can trust who is on there?" After speaking to hundreds of online daters, Cheryl Rios says there was a clear direction of common complaints, ”Men complained that women were older and heavier in person than what their photos portrayed and women have found that a lot of the men they meet online are married.”
It's one thing to fudge about your weight by 5-10 pounds or say you are an inch taller than you are, but did you know that a study shows that 33% of men who create profiles on dating websites are married!? WTF!
Cheryl Rios is a woman who is all about problem-solving so she decided to build a better mousetrap. She's calling it Play

I asked Cheryl if she was utilizing her own services, because let's face it, that's the first question every man reading this post is wondering... "I didn’t build it for me. I built it for everyone to know they have a safe place to find a match," she laughs. "What am I looking for? I suppose Prince Charming." Duh.
