Dating sites are getting more and more culture specific, and this week's brand new girl + guy site offers a very specific service. Cute girls are paid to play video games. Gamer dudes pay to play with them.
GameCrush is already so popular, the server is currently down due to the incredible user response (more than 10,000 inquiries in five minutes). The question at hand is, would you pay a sexy girl gamer to play video game remotely with you?
Games with GameCrush PlayDates start at $6.60 for ten minutes. IGN breaks down how the service works:
"On GameCrush, guys are Players and girls are PlayDates. Players pay to play and PlayDates get paid to play. Guys can browse PlayDate profiles (there are currently around 1,200), view photos, and even chat with girls for free. Once you find a gal you fancy you send her a game invite and if she accepts you get six to ten minutes of one-on-one gaming time. PlayDates have the ability to block any guy they want for any reason. When the service launches, it will only support the Xbox 360 and a few casual games hosted on the GameCrush website, but there are plans to add PlayStation 3, Wii, and World of Warcraft support as soon as possible.
You must be 18 or over to create a GameCrush account -- it's being touted as the first social site for adult gamers. It's not an explicitly explicit service, but PlayDates set their gaming mood to either 'flirty' or 'dirty.' Signing up is free, but you must purchase credits in order to get your game on. For $8.25 you get 500 credits, which is enough for one game (400 credits) and a 100 credit tip at the end.
GameCrush says it modeled its pricing structure after the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar. In a bar, you're basically buying the opportunity to chat a girl up. GameCrush is hoping players will look at their service the same way."

Very clever idea for the prepubescent nerd core.
so #$%@ing lame
As soon as this comes back online, I want to try it once and see what my money gets me. Didn't think it would do so well on it's first day, but with the site crashing on the first day I was proved wrong.
