April 11, 2007 - PRLog -- Everyone knows about internet dating - you’re never quite sure how genuine the photo/profile is until after you meet.  Introduction agencies can be expensive.  Bar-hopping is no fun when you’re alone. Then there’s phone-chat, speed dating, dinner dating, blind dates, books on pickup techniques etc the list goes on and on and just when you thought you’ve heard it all, along comes FunKards - touted as the world’s first business card for your fun life.

How many times have you seen someone you’d like to meet but didn’t do anything about it?  Cute little blond chatting with a group of friends or tall dark and handsome leaning on the bar would probably love to meet you – but of course do nothing about it and you’ll never know!  

Okay, so there are few things in life more awkward or embarrassing than approaching a stranger in public in order to meet.  First there’s the dreaded “long walk” over to where they are sitting; usually with a group of friends.  Once there you have to interrupt using your best pick-up-line (if there is such a thing as a best pick-up-line), let them know you’re interested, then try to exchange personal contact details often in a dark and noisy environment. If the person is single and available, you’re in luck, if not there’s always the “long walk” back to where you were sitting; hoping your embarrassment isn’t as obvious to everyone else as it is to you.  This “long walk” is tough for the bravest of men; little wonder it’s seldom attempted by women; so what’s the answer?  

The creators of FunKards claim all this is about to change thanks to one of those simple ideas you wonder why no one has thought of before.  In order to meet people and get dates it’s no longer necessary to go to special places, study dating techniques, learn pickup-lines or spend time and money making virtual love in cyberspace.  All you have to know is how to hand a business card to someone – there’s no need to say or do anything else – it’s just that simple.

Using the every day business card as the basis of their concept, the creators simply replaced all personal and contact details normally found on business cards with a single id number, then linked the cards to the internet.  So once you hand someone your FunKard they log on to the FunKards website and access your photo/profile.  If they like what they see they can send you a message, to which you can reply, without the need to exchange any personal contact details, just like internet dating; only better because you already know what the person looks like - so no nasty surprises.  

Because FunKards are linked to the internet they work anywhere in the world you happen to be.  So whether you are in a noisy bar in Sydney, on the beach in Hawaii, at the theatre in London, walking down the Champs-Elysees in beautiful Paris or just out doing groceries, if you see someone interesting, hand them a FunKard - at best, you’ll get lucky; at worst – well, actually there is no “at worst” because even if you don’t get lucky, no one will know you’ve been rejected and no one will have any of your personal contact details.

Finally, for those who feel handing a FunKard to a stranger in public isn’t for them, picture this:  You are in a crowded bar.  You see someone you would like to meet sitting with a group of friends - you (a) do nothing, because the situation is too intimidating (b) approach, interrupt and use your best pickup-line, or (c) walk past and hand him/her a FunKard (or better still ask a waiter or a friend to take a FunKard over with a drink, then simply sit back and wait to be contacted).  Based on the law of averages, if you hand out enough FunKards, you will get lucky!
