2. 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.
3. 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 Calling
Sending pictures >>> Replace actual meeting
Facebook/Chatting >>> Replace social gatherings
Video 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.
4. 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.
5. Casual Dating Consequences

thirty percent (30%) from 2013 to 2014.
FACT: Casual dating with a large and diverse

7. 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.”
