Offpeek.net Online Dating Site Debuts for Singles Who Work Graveyard and Other Non-traditional Shifts
CHICAGO, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Singles who work day jobs know that it is difficult enough to meet that special someone. For those who work the second or third shift, however, meeting potential mates poses a real logistical challenge.
That is exactly why Pierre D. Hall launched Offpeek.net (http://www.offpeek.net/). The name is a play on words, evolving from the "off shift," or off-peak hours. Hall said he changed "peak" to "peek" to encourage singles to take a peek at the site "and see what they've been missing."
Visitors to the site can do just that - search or browse with no obligation whatsoever. Paid members, or subscribers, are able to send and receive emails, chat with other members online and use the private photo gallery.
Hall says he learned about the need for such a service from experience. "I've been working night shifts since 1993," he said, "and I find it difficult to keep a good relationship with people who don't work the same shifts."
Over the years, Hall has worked many shift configurations, including swing shifts/rotating shifts, 12-hour shifts lasting from 6 pm to 6 am, weekend nights and overnight truck-driver's stints lasting 14-16 hours. "Those who have not worked these non-traditional shifts before don't understand the habits or attitudes of people who do," he said. "Some of us like the night shift, but if you meet someone you like who works a different shift, as in a 9-to-5 job, it's difficult to see each other daily."
So Hall designed Offpeek.net to cater more to the workers who "keep things rolling at night when most are asleep," such as police officers, firefighters, hospital staff, guards and others who work non-traditional shifts.
Member profiles feature information basic to most dating sites, including age, gender and geographic location. Optional information is encouraged to help find that perfect match, including ethnicity, religion, children and habits.
Hall said most off-peak workers are looking for a companion or love, just as 9-to-5'ers are. "Let's face it," he said, "if you find someone and click, it makes anyone's hard day - or night - at work better."
Currently, membership is free for women and $1 a month for men. Registration can be completed in just three steps, and the site accepts PayPal for payment.
Male subscribers can earn free time on the site by referring friends. For every different friend who signs up and pays, the referring subscriber will receive half the time the new member paid for, limited to the initial payment.
