Flirtbucks.com: The New Currency for Singles

Houston: Six years ago, Christopher Muniz met the woman of his dreams on I-10 inbound when he passed his business card to her while traveling 70 miles per hour. Today, the 32 year-old graphic designer is engaged to marry the same woman and is an ardent advocate for love at first sight, not to mention life in the fast lane. In fact, this chance meeting helped inspire the recent launch of his new business called flirtbucks.com.

Muniz said, “When I was younger and single, I was always thinking about clever ways to meet women who caught my eye. It’s not really a good idea to use business cards to meet people because that’s a little too much information to give a complete stranger. So, www.flirtbucks.com delivers the chance to let a stranger know you are interested in them without giving away too much personal data. Designed on a cross-pollinated platform of old and new dating strategies, it’s a hybrid aggregate of blind dating, love-at-first-sight, speed dating and MySpace… a digital flirtation grounded in the real world.”

He said, “The value of Flirtbucks, which are black plastic cards sized slightly smaller than credit cards, is driven by first impressions and backed by the connectivity of the Internet.”

“Let’s say your eyes connect with a stranger across a crowded cafe but you’re in a luncheon meeting with business associates. You want to meet that person but the circumstances are impossible. With a flirtbuck in hand, you can discreetly pass it to your person of interest on your way out the door. If they are so inclined they can view you and your profile at flirtbucks.com by entering the Key Code on the back of the buck. Then, they have the option of contacting you through email, MySpace, or phone, depending on what you put in your profile. There’s no pressure, no intimidation and no obligation.”

Muniz sees flirtbucks working in lots of venues where socializing is not easy, such as loud crowded clubs, movie theaters, concerts, and even the supermarket. He said, “This is a fun little product that works for everyone; men, women, college students and teens. They also make the perfect gift for your shy single friends.”

Observing the phenomenal growth of online dating services, flirtbucks banks on the adage that “what you see is what you get.” Muniz said no matter how much you connect with someone in cyberspace, that relationship isn’t really real until you actually meet in person.

Sold online in packages of 4 for $4.99, flirtbucks may well be the calling card of love for the digital age. No pen? No paper? No opportunity? flirtbucks.com helps keep the spark alive until you can get to a computer. Recently launched online, flirtbucks.com currently features a free promotion to attract dating digerati as well as a blog to share stories about how people are using flirtbucks.
