Hi Radarians,
Runsgirl.com is a social network to flirt, hook-up, mingle, socialize, share adventures, or chat with fun people.
I couldn’t let that popular domain name you all know go to waste, so I had to create a social network site with it and hopefully, I can tackle Badoo in Nigeria or get acquired in near future 
. So far, the community is increasing day by day.
I like the move to snap up a “popular” domain, but I’m 100% certain I wouldn’t want to join a social network called “Runs Girl”. More so if I were a girl. 
Another Ashley Madison waiting to happen?
Is this what drives developers around here these days? Sorry to burst your bubble but acquisitions are not mindless. What books have you been reading? 
is this code for “find a prostitute”?
God’s speed mate. Your reg/homepage made me close my browser
I want to say this nicely but … you built yet another social networking site with no obvious unique angle because you had a cool domain name … and you hope to be acquired.
Sweet. Good luck.
not “prostitutes” but to mingle with girls and taking the cost of the mingling into consideration, let’s not be too quick to use the “P” word
it seems you guys under-estimate how many randy people we have in Lagos, i won’t be surprised if he has members, getting acquired that i don’t know about.
This is so strange but I think you may have a business here.
Don’t bullshit anyone about some social network services. The world has enough of those already. Just come clean about what you about.
Rather get a network of aristo girls sign up with a pseudonym. Get about 100 girls, then sell access to them. Make the access expensive…about N25,000 a month. (Cheap boys are not allowed, and that will attract “classier” girls.) Of course, be sure you have the best classiest girls at the other side, that are nice. That will help your reputation. Everyone will spread your word as having good “services”.
Build a good product, and deliver a super customer experience. Spread your network to BBM and whatsapp groups.
This makes you a sorta internet pimp. Is this legal? I don’t know. I’ll never get myself to do this, but you bought runsgirls.com so…
Pimping is good business anywhere. Another problem you’ll have is intermediation. Men who will just stick to one girl and never resubscribe.
But as long as you keep listing more runs girls, and men staying as men, you’ll be able to keep the lights on and not need care about badoo acquisition.
And the perks with this kind of business is similar to the perks of being a pimp if you know what I mean.
But in all, good luck.
P.S.: Runsgirls.com is a very cool domain. Nigeria has a lot of hypocrites. Tap into that weakness, build your service in that form. I see you spread to cities, partnering with hoteliers.
EDIT.: Question about safety of girls is similar to what airbnb safety issues. You don’t know if your host or guest is a rapist, serial killer or some dangerous person.
So in this case, you don’t know if the aristo girl is a thief or the men client is some ritualist.
Tackle that with the following:
Meet up will only be done at partner hotels. Not private residences.
Social networks integration. Of course private until required. Have adequate information on all parties involved.
Reports, recommendations, comments on profiles.
Forget the all self righteousness. Forget a social network. The big fish that needs to be attacked is https://adultwork.com
I once mentioned it on Radar that getting a verified and community reviewed prostitute online is an untapped space in Nigeria. Imagine the flexibility of your Pastor to be able to browse for verified and reviewed prostitutes that won’t land him on Linda Ikeji from the safe haven of the church office. Figure out the rest.
Dude, if you are on ground in Naija, thats the best niche for the domain. Just my 2 cents.
Oh before the feminist unleash, a prostitute can be either male or female and prostitution is legal in Nigeria!
I couldn’t have said it better, sell what the domain says.
Actually you do have a point but there comes the danger also, I don’t think Prostitution in Lagos in legal, e-Prostitution that’s a grey area, another issue is you need to vet clients, because God forbid one of your “girls” was killed by a ritualist that brings issues on your platform especially if you cannot identify the client. But the issue is which client is going to register with his real name and information, However you can try the option of debiting 1 Naira on customer’s card (If taking this route, you need to follow some specification like not storing the full pan card and others), that way you can identify them via their card, that’s how most porn sites do it.
Look at escort service websites and see how they do it.
Then comes the important part, you need to keep customer information completely secured.
You guys have said it all. Is OP able to execute though? The current state of the domain (plus the mindset he has already reflected here) leaves me in doubt.
Tola na bad boy oh.
This wont scale as punters may want to use the service maybe once a year and the Aristo girls may not be available every time.
The best type of people to provide these services are not your usual road side hookers as they will usually come with a lot of baggage. Your target service providers should be the very intelligent Lawyer by day and Kinky Dominatrix by night. The reason why she wants to be a Dominatrix by night should be only her business.
Forget about customer service, payments, security and also those other preambles as your business should focus on linking punters to service providers. Most punters wont want their personal details on the website or any other similar websites.
So you will make your money from VAS such as service provider verification, messaging, featured listings and the rest. Your loyalty should be with the punters as they are the demand side and without them your service providers wont come to your platform. Also, don’t be suprised that your service providers will belong to loads of other websites similar to yours to maximise their profit and may even have their own website too trying to drive the punters away from your website.
All you need is to advise the girls to use common sense. Prostitution is the oldest game out there and these service providers already know how to smell danger from a mile ahead. For example, if you are using a private number then you are trouble. Also all serious service providers use Chaperones or Security which is usually the pimp. If they are independent providers (which you should promote - “Girl Power”), they use their friends in the game with them. Security is none of your business as your job is to link two consenting adults together. What they do after that is their business.
The big picture here is 1-2-1 Webcaming and that’s where the millions of dollars awaits you. All these Italian and Malaysian men with the Naija babe fetishes will be queuing at your door. In return, what the service provider on your platform needs to do is to go to work in the morning, put their kids to bed at night, then display thier talents on an international stage and smile to the bank without stepping out of the house.
Another niche could be all these Oyinbo girls arriving in Naija disguised as Airline Stewardess currently servicing only the big boys may want to diversify their portfolio and come to you to maximise their fully expensed short trip to Naija.
I really do hope that you or someone with balls out there tackles this space as it has great potentials and its all about ground work and solid execution. Why cant it be me? I actually started researching it and the Mrs started shopping around for divorce lawyers 
it’s interesting how much indepth information you know about this field, something you are not telling us 
?
more like “come and rent h*es here dot com” 
the name sounds way toooo direct, well, maybe only Pros will see it and quickly join to do business in there.
Can’t somebody be a polymath again? 
Yes I do know quite a lot because in my role as Oga Agbero I have to keep our Sex business profitable and competitive because it makes us loads of Money. What else do you want to know?
