It seems the perception of Perl 6 as a long delayed update to Perl 5 is a serious problem for the languages. Perl 6 is not really the next version of Perl 5, it is more like another language.
Perl 5 is still under active development. The latest stable release was version 18.2, made in January. Perl 5 will continue to exist even when more people start using Perl 6. Also, Perl 6 is available and usable already.
I have learnt it, a bit, for amateur radio, where it is still used. There are lots of wee applications for it too, like showing status messages on a small electronic device using a single LED.
There have been times I have wished more people know it, for example for communicating with light accross a mountain valley, or communicating underwater.
I like the idea. It has the clever advantage of offering something of value before anyone else has signed up - funny videos. Maybe you should offer more videos before the signup page. Maybe even split the sign up fields between videos. Obviously this is a good candidate for testing.
One major thing I don't like though are the highly restrictive options for gender and orientation. In the case of a dating site, classifying gender does seem like a neccesary evil, but the options could at least allow more people to sign up. I would suggest, as one possibility, adding more options, such as none and other, and also making this a check box selection for people with more than one gender.
Additionally, why do you ask for orientation? You don't need to know this, and you fail to ask the necessary question of "which genders would you like to be matched with". These things are not the same. This section could also allow check box selection of desired matches.
I put up a leader board in the office yesterday for stair climbing times. I've got one other person interested and the competition has started already. :) Current best time is 44s for 8 floors.
