Website Matches Women With Baby Daddies, Not Husbands
22.05.12
According to a recent article on ABC News , Modamily’s founder, Ivan Fatovic, makes this sweeping generalization as well: “If [love and marriage] don’t happen, people end up marrying someone they’re not crazy about and get divorced in a few years,” he said. “In two out of three divorces, a child is involved. When a child is introduced, the mom and dad don’t get along and are fighting with each other. My thinking is that we can find two people that put the child first.”
I have trouble unpacking a lot of this: All couples don’t get along once a child is brought into the family? Two strangers who meet online will do a better job of putting their child first?
Maybe I’m overreacting. Maybe it does make sense to trust Fatovic, his generalizations and his website. I mean, he’s 36 and has a background as a Hollywood agent and in finance. This is starting to make more and more sense.
While the site is new, they are offering the first three months for free, but then members will pay $50 a month. The site does little matching, nothing as elaborate as eHarmony’s pages of personality questions. Basically, Modamily users will “shop” for partners just as we peruse Amazon for gifts and Zappos for shoes. Users who find a “match” receive no guidance; there’s no help once the two would-be parents are linked, other than a suggestion that one hire a lawyer to negotiate a contract in regards to finances, obligations and the like (just those little nagging issues).
