Match.com
The founder of Match.com lost his girlfriend to a man she met on Match.com. It may seem like another one of the darkly funny facts – but when his girlfriend left him for a man she met on his site, Gary Kremen didn’t even break a sweat. According to Match.com founder, Kremen knew his project was successful when his own girlfriend left him for another man through Match.com. Source: Funny Facts

I did not know anything about the story behind the site.
But it’s a clever thing to find the good part from any bad situation!
I love this idea. Sometimes it’s a life savior…
Happy WW, dear Sandee! All the best in Summer! Hugs and joy!❤️😘
It’s a very popular site. Not for me though. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs, Suzana. 🙂
I think these sites serve a purpose BUT I’m not sure I would be brave enough to use them…..although there’s no “foolproof/guaranteed” match up in the world I suppose. I met my husband on a blind date!
Hugs, Pam
There are no guarantees with anything for sure. If I were single I would not go online to find a mate. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to handsome Teddy. 🙂
That is absolutely hilarious, but poor guy… or maybe it was a good thing and she ended up with a turkey!
I think it was a good thing. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Yup, sadly, it happens.
More than we know. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Well isn’t that interesting. A strange way to measure his success but if it worked for him why not. I wonder if he used his site to find himself a new girlfriend.
I don’t know, but I found this most sad. Happy day and rest of the week, Ann. A hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. 🙂
The internet has changed humans forever and not always in a positive way.
You’re right about that. For all the good there tons of negative. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Sorry, I didn’t understand… thank you for sharing and for hosting. And your Part at MosaicMonday ❤️
Greetings by Heidrun
It’s a dating site and the owner lost his girlfriend because she used his site to find a new boyfriend. 🙂
I wouldn’t ever feel comfortable using an online dating site and I pray that I never, ever have to! Interesting factoid and outlook by the founder.
If I were single I would not sign up either. Not for me. Happy day and rest of the week, Cathy. Hugs. 🙂
Interesting fact about the founder and his girlfriend. But if he didn’t even break a sweat when she left… maybe it’s for the best for all involved.
It was for the best for both of them. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Betty. 🙂
That’s a harsh proof of concept but he didn’t even break a sweat? No wonder she left! I know online dating apps are popular and I know a couple, married about 15 years with three children who met using one, but I don’t know if it would be for me.
I can see it that way too. If I were single I would not sign up. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Believe it or not, our Mom met our Dad online!
I know it can happen. Good for you. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That’s a really strange turn of events!
It sure was. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Guess the weren’t a good “Match,” LOL!
Not at all. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
That is an interesting fact. I am thankful I have never needed to use that site. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
I’ve never used it either and if I were single I would either. Happy day and rest of the week, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
What a profound example of making lemonade from what life throws one’s way. Thank you, Sandee.
Sometimes, perhaps, the things that seem negative in life work out for one’s good. Great presentation, Sandee. Thank you, dear friend.
And a wonderful Wordless Wednesday to you. Much love and hugs.
I hear you. Some awful things turn out to be blessings. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
Thank you dear friend. Peace to you.
Oh dear I’m older than dirt I know for a fact I would not have found love via dating apps.
Hugs cecilia
You and I are on the same page. Not for me. Love and hugs to you and Kit and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Irony at its finest. 🙂
Amen to that. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
I suppose they must not have been matched very well.
Not one bit. You’re right about that. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Well I read somewhere that a third of the folks using those sites are married. It’s sad, but if this guy didn’t flinch he was probably surfing the site as well as his girlfriend. 🤣😎🙃
I’ve heard this too. I just wouldn’t do this if I were single. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Now that’s irony, isn’t it LOL
It sure is. Sad, but they way things go with some. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
Sadly, this speaks volumes about the lack of commitment in our society. Why was she dating Kremen and scrolling on Match.com at the same time. She has proven that she can’t be trusted in a relationship. If she will cheat on you when dating, she will certainly cheat on you in marriage. Run brother, run!!!
You’re right about that. No surprise he didn’t much care. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Wow, just wow.
I thought so too. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂
I love you my Only. Your Loving Husband.
I love you my Forever. 🙂
We heard many stories like that, Sandee, interesting how that matches on dating sites😹🙈Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and your sweet kitties too🐾😽💞
I hear you. I don’t think I would do an online dating site if I were single. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. Double Pawkisses to Peachy and Faye. 🙂
Interesting Fact, Glad to know 🙂
Thanks a lot for hosting.
It’s sad, but he didn’t seem to mind losing his girlfriend. 🙂
How ironic! 😆 I see his point, though. Thanks for hosting the WW link party, Sandee. Happy Wednesday to you! 🤗
I found this most interesting. Happy day and rest of the week, Debbie. 🙂
I’ve long envied the ability of many entrepreneurs to do that: just pick themselves up from a failure, analyze the situation, and move on.
Same here. He is still thriving. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
that is one way to look at ~ lol ~ oh well ~
Hugs and love to you from me and Ziggy ~ xo
It sure is. I think they were both better off without each other. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
I enjoy your weekly facts, Sandee. This one was ironic. I guess the Match guy knew where he could also easily find a “replacement” mate after losing his!
I am definitely a rule breaker fro “wordless wednesday” but someday I just might slip in a wordless post. ;D
I’m always a rule breaker. I think if the post is interesting it qualifies. Happy day and rest of the week, Pat. 🙂
Not something I have ever contemplated checking out, would not do it even if I were single now! Happily married now for almost 50 years
Thank you, Sandee, for the weekly linkup party. Happy #WW.
Thank you for linking back to EsmeSalon and Senior Salon.
My entries: #45+46
Hope you will join ES #WW https://esmesalon.com/wordlesswednesday/ NOW OPEN
I’m with you on this, but I found it ironic he lost his girlfriend on his own site. Sad. Happy WW and rest of the week. Thank you for all you do. 🙂
Fortunately I’ve never had to use a site like this and, I think, I’d be too scared to. How ironic about what happened though. Have a great Wednesday!
That makes two of us. It’s not something I would do. Have a great Wednesday too, Yvonne. 🙂
We guess if Kremen’s girlfriend joined, she couldn’t have been that happy in her relationship with him! Thanks for linking us up. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
It appears both weren’t happy. 🙂
Sandee, it’s showing that I added two links- 49 and 50. However, Both are the same. I must have double clicked.
Thank you for entertaining us this week!
Have a fun week.
All the best.
Debra @ Life Captured
I deleted the last one. It’s easy to do more than one link. You’re most welcome and thanks for playing along. I loved your post. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
wow! how ironic 💜love n hugs, Sandee
It is ironic. Happy day and rest of the week, Heidi. 🙂
That seems too good a story to be true! The irony of it all….:)
It really is true. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
He must have gotten something right! Thanks for hosting. You and Mr. Zane have a great rest of your week, scritches to the kitties from me.
Yes he’s still raking in the money. Love and hugs to you, my wonderful friend. 🙂
Whoa…I’ve heard of forgive and forget but that’s really taking it to a whole ‘nother level! As always, you find the most interesting tidbits on Wednesdays. Nicely done!
I thought this was sad. Both appeared to be unhappy. Love and hugs to you and scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
That’s very sad, but we like that he looked on the bright side. Happy Wednesday, Sandee. Thank you for hosting the Hop!
Sad yes, but for the best. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Guess he had to see it as a glass half full and proof of the pudding as they say, but that pudding thing, I don’t think I understand. lol I’ve never proofed pudding when making so maybe I’ve been doing things wrong. Love your site and your bits of info. 🙂
You made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that. Love that you’re playing along. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
At least he took it as proof his idea really worked.
Thanks for sharing this quirky fact, Sandee.
Always love the mix of humor and surprise on WW. 💛
It worked very well. I’m not thinking they had much of a relationship though. Happy day and rest of the week, Veronica. 🙂
What a terrific fact! Is sure made me laugh! Thanks for posting Marv’s Post and I hate to say it, Marv will cuddle, but ONLY on his terms. Otherwise he turns into a total fiend! All TEETH and CLAWS! Keep being AWESOME! Barb
I love you Marvelous Marv and I want to cuddle with you. 🙂
Its an Alanis Monnisette song
You lost me. Happy rest of the week. 🙂
Oh my. I guess she wasn’t the one!
She wasn’t the one for sure. Happy day and weekend, my friend. 🙂
OMG!!! How bizarre!!! Well, the moral of the story is, don’t create a dating app! MOL Thank mew so much for adding our links, we are slowly getting back up to speed after the internet glitch the other week! Wishing mew a supurr weekend! 😻🐾😻🐾😻
I hear you, but he’s made a lot of money with that app. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
Your broken heart image caught my attention – the writer in me starting spinning yarns about broken hearts, then I read your tidbit of info and said, Whoa, no way! I’m glad he didn’t miss a beat (I think) and knew his Match.com was a success…but, what a way to find out! Thanks for the trivia! Hope you all have a great week!
It’s still a very popular site. I don’t think they were that into each other. Have a great day and week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
haha Now that is a funny fact that happened. <3
It is and it’s sad too. I don’t think they were that into each other. 🙂
Wow! That’s a truly bittersweet success. Be well!
It is indeed. I don’t think either one cared much for each other. 🙂
