Deborah Pow is the founder of Height Difference, an online dating service that aims to help consumers find love regardless of their race, age, religion or national origin. She has created a very unique platform with the site and has become one of the fastest growing directories on line for people seeking others who fall within a similar age range, ethnicity or religion to them. The Age Difference website strives to bring unique and quality content to those seeking others with similar characteristics, seeking relationships outside of their own faith communities, or people seeking a partner of similar race, religion or nationality. Through the website, people are able to easily search profiles that best fit their criteria, view what other users have added to their profile and interact with those who are most likely to be a good match for them.
One of the key things that has set Height Difference apart from its competitors is the way that it encourages user input and interaction. This is most apparent in its “writers forum” and through the blog. In these venues, registered members can post questions, write articles, support each other and interact with the thousands of other members who are all searching for the same things. Many people have shared stories of how they first found their true partner through Height Difference and have since fallen in love with one another thanks to the site’s matchmaking system. Many have found love through the site’s dating service and have used it to find serious relationships, marriages or even get into a long term relationship with a person they met online.
Height Difference also emphasizes that finding a partner is not only about finding someone close to you but to also be open-minded and learn about other cultures, religions and lifestyles. This is part of its mission to help users better understand themselves and others. For instance, one member shared a story where after going on a date, the host asked them if they had ever been to Japan. One member responded that they had and was surprised and dismayed at how many people were rude and ignorant during their trip. Others have spoken about how being Asian has helped them grow as individuals while living their life as a couple.
