Inventor of world’s first dating app shares VERY naughty details of his raunchy love life

He's a self-confessed 'geek', but that hasn't stopped Andrew Conru enjoying pleasures of the flesh

How successful a woman's dating profile is all comes down to the pictures

He's got a doctorate in mechanical engineering, admits to being a geek and looks more like a librarian than a love god.

But that hasn't stopped Andrew Konru, founder of one of the world's earliest dating sites, from enjoying an extremely exciting sex life.

Now the 48-year-old naughty nerd has shared frank details of a life spent at the erotic intersection of technology and sex.

“I’ve had more than one [threesome]” .

“I’ve been fortunate a lot in having a full life. I’m comfortable in all kinds of sexual experiences.”

Konru was studying for a PhD at Stanford University when he launched a primitive page called Web Personals, which is often regarded as the first dating site in the world.

It pioneered the style of showing one come-hither picture along with a page of text.

“That’s what you see on all the dating sites today, except Tinder,” said Conru. “They went the complete opposite way with only one photo.”

He then launched a site called FriendFinder, which eventually morphed into the sex-focused hook-up site AdultFriendFinder, which was in the news last year when information about millions of its users was.

This led to him being dubbed "the engineer of love", although he's also described as .

But despite his wealth and obvious dating expertise, Konru has still not managed to find a wife.

“I’m still single, which is the irony of all this,” he continued.

"I’ve always been low key in my profile. I don’t say 'I’m the owner of the company.'

"Even when I go on other dating sites, I’m not a bragger.

"I hope they’ll like me for who I am, not the monetary side of things."

There is some debate about whether Konru started the first dating website, or whether this accolade goes to Gary Kremen, founder of Match.com.

Konru claimed that he pipped his friend and competitor to the post, but only by a few months.
