A quick update:

This is a courtesy email being sent in order to keep you up to date with all the exciting things that have taken place with Cupids X Factors in the past few weeks.

Firstly, we have pushed back the BETA launch for the site until June 1st, 2008. This was primarily to comply with the new law (Internet Dating Safety Act) that has passed in the state of New Jersey and is to be passed in the state of Florida. Already, Cupids X Factors has been highlighted in Online Dating Insider, Great Dating Service, Smart Money, Small Biz and the Wall Street Journal for our industry changing innovations.

Our pre-registration campaign began on March 1st, 2008. Events for the pre-registration are being scheduled in Florida, California and New York. These events will create awareness for our site leading up to the BETA launch (June 2008.) In order to expand the growth of our community more rapidly, we have established an incentive program that works in conjunction with a special referral system where members will be able to win prizes as incentive for additional referrals and early registration.

In addition, we have expanded our intellectual properties by applying for two more patents! This now brings us to a total of three patents pending allowing us to further increase our company’s value and we have begun writing a self titled book based on our X (10) Factors that will provide scientific proof to the importance each factor has within a long term relationship. Most recently, we have been syndicated with an investment group based out of Miami, FL.

There are many big things in progress right now for Cupids X Factors. However, bigger things are yet to come... we’ll keep you posted as things occur!

Cupidsxfactors.com launches its Pre-Registration.

The site will contain many unique features, which includes personal journals, emails, chat rooms, video chat, a potentials garden and, a never before seen, stackable search engine.

Cupids X Factors has been spotlighted on Smart Money, Small Biz, and The Wall Street Journal for their groundbreaking approach to matchmaking. The Cupids X Factors team is working its hardest to bring this cutting edge formula to the market. Founder and C.E.O. Ralph Castillo has smashed through the barriers by breaking out of the uniformity commonly found on bigger sites, which based there matches solely on personality and/or personal preferences.

All new members will be receiving a Free 30 Day Trial upon registration to ensure that everyone is given a chance to fully explore this innovative website. Also, after the beta launch date of June 1, 2008, all pre-registered members will have the opportunity to win prizes, the first place price being a Sony® Vaio® laptop computer.

VIII Factor: “Finance”

In this factor we have taken into consideration every possible range of income. The finance factor is part of 4 factors that brings us financial stability in our lives and relationships. Each of these factors: education, employment, finance, goals and plans, has a direct influence on the next. Improving in one area can lead to improvement in all (or most) of these factors.

The finance factor is the direct result and correlation of your Employment factor. Often times this is directly influenced by your Education factor (as a higher education will usually grant greater job opportunities.) This provides the opportunity for a higher income, which in turn will likely increase your Goals and Plans factor.

Finance is important in a relationship because it can create a solid foundation in which to build your new relationship. It is important to remember that money can never buy love; it merely lends a hand in creating a secure environment for your relationship to thrive.

To get people interested in your product or service, says Hanssens from UCLA, "you have to get creative." For example, Ralph Castillo, the founder of Cupids X Factors, a dating site based in Miami that will operate in both English and Spanish when it officially launches on Valentine's Day, devised his own formula for finding love online. His matching tool, which is patent pending, will link users based on 10 factors ranging from age and health to personality and finances, rather than personal preferences, as is a common matching platform used by some bigger sites. "Just because I like spaghetti [and another person] doesn't, doesn't mean we don't match," he says.

VII Factor: “Employment”

This factor is not based upon how much money you make or your employment status. It focuses on how much time you have available within your career to spend with your partner, family or yourself.

Having the extra time to spend with your partner is considered one of the most important factors necessary to build and maintain a successful long-term relationship. Spending quality time with your partner or your new family (if any children are involved) is a key element for any new relationship to become successful. Time spent with your partner will grant you improved communication, compatibility, friendship and many other factors that will create a bigger and stronger foundation in your relationship.

While a great career is important if not balanced properly it can hinder your relationship's success. It is important to remember that a career can be rewarding but if your relationship is neglected as a result you may need to re-evaluate how important your relationship is to you. Success in business comes with great rewards, but time spent with your mate can be equally rewarding. Your achievements will become magnified when they are shared with the one you love.

VI Factor: “Education”

Education is a very important factor as it is the framework for factors such as employment, finance, goals and plans. A higher education helps our chances in obtaining better employment and higher economic status Education makes many of our goals and plans more attainable. In this factor it is never too late to improve. There is no greater accomplishment than one that provides a better and more secure future.

There are many ways to obtain a degree in higher education. It is not necessary that both partners have the exact same credentials when it comes to education. Only that their goals and plans to succeed, both in life, and in their relationship are shared.

V Factor: “Status”

The status factor includes major life issues such as marital status, children, and other major lifetime accomplishments. Some people look for a partner that has children who live with them on a regular basis. For others, the thought of dealing with someone else's children is a huge detriment. It doesn't matter where you stand on this issue. Everyone deserves a second chance. Often times a person can grow and mature through negative events that happen in their lives.

It’s very important to have an open-minded policy when entering into a new relationship, as it will provide you with the opportunity to see things from a different perspective. Take the time get to know a person before writing the relationship off as a failure. It may only take one or two more conversations for you to realize this!

IV Factor: “Personality”

Our personalities are our “life index”; we can trace most of our traits by the way in which we were raised. People can usually determine how our values and principles were formed and what experiences in our lives lead us to where we are now. Personality is the one factor that defines a person best.

Within a relationship it is important to understand that we all have different personalities. Having a partner with a similar personality to yours doesn’t guarantee that your relationship will be successful. When different people come together and blend their individual personalities they create a new personality or “couple personality”. Ideally both partners contribute something unique to the relationship creating a dynamic that only those two individuals have.

Most of us enter a new relationship with an attitude of "not wanting to change or modify our way of being for another person," however, we expect the other person to do just that for us. This is when compromise should take center stage and play a big role in maintaining a healthy relationship. It is the fertilizer for the tree of love. If we use compromise as a tool of equality for each side it won’t take long before we start seeing great results. Great communication and excellent understanding are key elements to use this tool effectively.

Partners must be willing to see various situations and differences from an objective point of view. Overall "personality" is a factor of opposites. Everyone has both positive and negative qualities the trick is to create a balance together where there’s never too much good or too much bad but always just the right combination like in any good recipe.

III Factor: “Appearance”

Personal appearance is a factor that plays a big role in our lives, not only socially but also in any relationship as well; since our appearance is our personal billboard it provides others with the first (and sometimes only) impression about who we are. This reaction usually takes less within 10 seconds of meeting someone.

Personal appearance can be easily translated to “looking good.” Our perception of beauty is influenced directly by our own cultures and values. As such, it becomes nearly impossible to “gauge” beauty because every person has a different opinion of what beauty is. We rate appearance only through attributes that can be adequately measured such as: personal hygiene and grooming, wardrobe, youthfulness and self-image.

II Factor: “Health”

Health is a key factor in any long lasting relationship. Our health deteriorates as we age, that’s why it is important to maintain good healthy habits throughout our lives. However, it is important to note that there are many conditions that can develop regardless of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. All of these health attributes will contribute to the overall health factor number.

The physical health part of the health factor affects us in only a few other factors but it has the potential of affecting our mental health, creating a chain linking one with the other. Having good physical health gives you more time and energy to invest in a new relationship and depending on how much time and energy you invest in a new relationship determines whether it will be successful or not.


Mental health has the capacity to severely damage your relationship. It can especially affect the beginning of a new relationship. There are many mental conditions that can range from genetics inherited by parents, or circumstances that result in a change in the chemistry of the brain at a young age.
