Outbound links in directory site hurts ranking and SEO?

Hi, I put up a dating directory http://crazydating.com does it hurt my ranking and SEO indexing since I have all the outbound links? If it does how do I fix it? Thanks!

Having outbound links in your directory will not hurt site rankings and SEO — IF Google thinks your directory is high quality.

Not so much has having links, but Google seems to dislike directories that lists everything automatically without human review. Google seems to prefer — meaning give good rankings and traffic — to directories that are concerned with the quality of their directory and not lists everyone that submits to them

In terms of outbound links, Google guidelines recommend keeping links of a page to 100 or less

Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).
