The Cost Plus Items of Dating
Life around a new woman in your life is just more costly. The fact is inevitable, even though it is seldom discussed in polite company. Men are all over the concept of picking up the tab when dating. A couple of times a week is not too bad. But when they move in, the couple of times a week is still expected, on top of the other expenses of someone else in the house. Seems like the only people to save money when a woman moves in with a guy is the woman. Somehow, guys just do not have a good way of getting them to pick up their share of the costs. Some of these are beyond the experience of someone who has never been on the sugar daddy side of male female relationship before. Here are a few that you might not have considered:
1. Increased Toilet Paper
I am not sure why, but women seem to go through a mess of toilet paper. Guys seldom go through a roll a week. Women average a couple of days per. You can fully expect your tissue consumption to increase three fold when a woman lands on your doorstep. They use toilet paper for just about any thing you can imagine. Besides the usual stuff, it is also handy for removing makeup, cleaning powder off the vanity, removing nail polish, cleaning up spilled nail polish, the list goes on.
2. Britta filters
Ladies Magazines and every diet book ever written says that drinking lots of water is the secret to losing weight and staying healthy, and women literally drink that up! That means that you are going to go through a lot more, very expensive, water filters. And if you do not use a water filter, you will by buying cases of water.
3. Skin Cream
Find out what kind of lotions that she uses and stock some in your bathroom. This is a fine touch that telegraphs "I love you" to her, and nothing melts a woman's heart than considerate actions. On top of this, you should also keep a large bottle of skin moisturizer on hand, preferably something that she uses as well. Besides the obvious benefit of her loving you for the gesture, the moisturizer cream can double as a massage oil. Gotta love that!
4. Ice Cream Sandwiches
It could be just the lady that I am hooked up with, but I now have to buy that food item weekly!
5. Ice Wines
Most guys have never bought a dessert wine in their lives, but when you’re dating a woman, expect to pick one of these little, expensive bottles of sugar juice whenever you have a dinner party. BTW - what kind of dessert wine goes with ice cream sandwiches?
6. Tampons
Accept it. She’ll appreciate it, and it’s only slightly embarrassing at the drug store.
7. Candles
They aren’t expensive, but they are great at setting a romantic mood. If you’re lucky, you’ll go through these fast. Much better than getting frisky by the light of your oven.
8. Frozen Yoghurt
Here is something that you will just have to become accustomed to when a women is around. It is called Probiotics Yoghurt. Probiotics is a friendly bacteria that is important to your overall health. Women eat it for other reasons. The main one is that hit helps tremendously if they are prone to yeast infections and/or bladder infections. Either way, most women eat it, and of course you will be expected to as well. So here is my secret on this little item. Find "Activia Probiotics 'Desert' Yoghurt" – it comes in several flavors. And do not mix it up with the regular "Activia Probiotics Yoghurt". That little item 'desert' in the label makes all the differenct to me. The desert stuff does not in any way taste like yoghurt. In fact it almost tastes like pudding to me. In any event, buy this stuff. You will like it, and your girlfriend will reap the rewards as well. And if her female parts remain in good shape because of it, then you will get a lot warmer reaction to any advances that you make, and much more frequently.
9. Sex Aids
It’s always great when you and your lady go into the adult store for some items for the bedroom. However, they are super expensive! Avoid the stuff made of plastic from China. Get silicone for best quality.
10. Give Her Some Space
Clean out a drawer for her and give her some closet space as well. Some turf on your turf for her spare unmentionables, slippers, and toothbrush will bring you huge rewards. So spend some time and make her some room! You'll be glad you did.
11. Internet Bandwidth
If your woman is anything like my woman, there will be a lot more cat videos being watched on your computer. That translates into bandwidth you have to buy. To be fair, some of the cat videos are kind of funny.
12. Doodads, Candles and Frilly Things
The title says it all. You get the picture. They will slowly make over your digs to be more female friendly. They cannot help it, it is just the way they are built!
13. Birthdays, Anniversary, Valentines, Christmas
It seems like every month has some sort of holiday or anniversary that you have to observe. That means buying presents, cards, wrapping paper, chocolates, and cakes. Of course, you’ll probably get a nice present in return, later that night.
And be prepared to cede a lot of territory in the process.
If you do not have someone special in your life and are looking, you might want to check out this online dating link for sites you can join.

What Do College Students Want
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not completely around the bend or anything like that, but please stop telling me to enjoy being single because “one day” I might find myself with a wife, children and an expensive apartment, being single is not what I want to be for the rest of my life. I have been single for all my life, single is my closest companion, I have had more relationship problem's than relationships, I want to have a real relationship with someone other than my pet rat, college dating can by trying at best. Why does it seem like everyone else is successful in relationships but me, Losing in love has become a habit that is getting harder and harder to break.
I once asked someone close to me (no not my pet monkey), but rather a college friend how they do it, I explained to her that when I go to get togethers, the other girls seem to have no problem approaching the guys, but no matter who I take a shine to, I am constantly outmaneuvered by other women who walk away with the trophy. Her answer was to ask me if I would let someone elbow me out of line at the bank. I replied I would kick them and tell then to get in line and wait their turn like everyone else. She said excellent, the next time some babe tries to steal your man toy just push her aside, grab the guy and make him yours. Maybe I should have asked my gold fish.
College guys are a complete mystery to me, I'm a smart attractive coed but they act like I am a wart on their butts sometimes. The ones I do go out with are only interested in sexual stimulation, for most college guys you have to put our or get the hell out, so I'd rather get out.
But its not just me that has problems, there are some college boys that have the same problem with college girls. It seems if you won't go to bed with them they want nothing to do with you, its too bad because most people have more to offer than just sex. The guys tell me that many of the coeds want them have sex with them off the get go and if they want to wait a bit she spreads rumors that they're gay. Most of these poor unfortunates are great guys that respect women and don't just think of them as an easy piece, why can't these women see that these men will not accept this sort of treatment.
However there might be a silver lining to this cloud, several of the men and women have decided to signup to some of the better online college dating sites. They have heard some amazing stories from other college students who met their dream date on one of the college dating sites. They said the people on these sites don't care don't care if you work out or not and they are into more activities than just sex, sex, sex, they're really nice people, and college students like us. They have a life plan that includes more than just getting through the current semester. They are interested in finding that certain person and one day settling down. My best friend met his future wife on an online college dating site, I was surprised because it happened so quickly, that they were an item before I knew he was going to join an online dating site.
My friends have been so successful that I have decided to try it for myself. My friends told me about this site they found that lists and ranks a bunch of online dating sites, and they have an entire page on just college dating sites. This is where they started and they recommend it to everyone. Who knows maybe I'll finally find someone who is caring and decent. If you are in college or looking to date someone who is in college why don't you follow this link:

Sex and The Great Outdoors
Even if you are not an outdoorsy kind of person, if you are dating over the course of a summer, you are likely to find yourself and your date communing with good old mother nature at some point. Even if roughing it means a cottage with a deck and boathouse rather than a tent on a backpacking trail, you will likely find many romantic moments as you enjoy the invigorating lift that being out in the country gives you. All the fresh air and sunsets are likely to boost your libido significantly, and get yourself and your partner in a sensual state of mind. The nights will also add their share of enjoyment as you sneak down to the water to skinny-dip under the full moon and the wash of stars in the milky-way. Likely all of these activities will result in 'sex in the wild'. There is however an element of health risk involved, so you should not just do the 'down and dirty' without being prepared. Big city living means that you do not have some of the natural resistance to bacteria that your cave dwelling ancestors did, so you must be more prepared than they were able to be.
Problem: Dirty Sex (And Not “Good” Dirty, Either)
You have to remember that when you’re camping, you’re going to get dirty. All those nature hikes and long walks will cover you in dirt. Normal outdoor activities like starting a fire, cooking over a campfire, cutting wood, and just the smoke and bug sprays leaves you a much less desirable person to be around from an intimacy point of view. No matter how amorous you might feel, the Hollywood movie version of an idyllic and loving camping trip or nature walk are unlikely to happen unless you take care of basic sanitation necessities. So there are a few recommendations. Wash up thoroughly before bedtime. When roughing it in the bush, take a container of 'wet wipes' with you to help keep yourself sanitary in your nether regions.
Solution: Wash As Much As Possible
There are ways around this pitfall, of course. Most parks have access to shower facilities, but sometimes these are overloaded, or sometimes you may not be close enough to avail ourselves of them. Go during off-peak hours when you’ll have some privacy – waiting until all the kids in the park are in bed is the perfect time to go. Sneak in there together, and get dirty after you’ve got clean. An added bonus is that the sound of the shower will mask most modest sex noises, and will provide easy clean-up when you’ve finished. Be prepared for some quizzical and accusing looks if there are people waiting for the shower when the two of you exit. Odds are you’ll still be in post-coital bliss, so you won’t mind much.
Problem: Privacy
Tents are just not good at blocking sound. When you have sex at night, especially if one of you is a screamer, be prepared for anything from amusing looks or accusing looks from the campsites around you. In the worst case you may get a visit from the park authorities (and hopefully not in the middle of the act).
Solution: Really Long-g-g Nature Hikes
This is likely the least embarrassing and most satisfying solution. It is really a sort of an intimate commune with nature. But first, you need to think about safety. First, watch out for wildlife – especially lions and tigers and bears – OH MY! – just kidding, but there are some animals that you have to consider depending on your region. Many areas have bears, but in the mountain regions, there are some cats that may cause concern. Most other meat eaters tend to shy away from people, but if you are in the deep south, you can run into reptiles that are not so pleasant. Nothing dampens the libido more than running for your life. Second, do not go on a long sex trek at night. Better to do it during the day, when wildlife is less prevalent, and you can see clearly as you run for you life if some scary animal shows up. Third, bring a pad or blanket to lay on so you can avoid getting dirt and bugs on you while you do the dirty. You should also let your camping buddies know where you are going in case you do not come back. That way, if you are too exhausted after repeated sex and cannot make it back to the campsite, they can send the park rangers out for you.
So this summer, enjoy copious, carefree, camping coitus carefully!

Will I Ever Get Lucky
Hi my name is Skippy, and no I'm not a kangaroo! I was just a sex crazed guy looking for a little lovin. I was always hoping someone would take a chance on me. Hmm – sounds like a country song. Lol. Lol. Just kidding. So there I was, 27 and still haven’t had any. Thats right I said virgin, and I felt like I was the only one left in the world. It seems virgins are a dying breed these days. I told people I was saving myself for that special one. Its funny how losers always say they're saving themselves. For what? The end of the world? I once told a coworker that I was a virgin by choice. He laughed and said ”Thats like a homely person saying I'm pretty on the inside”. I kept saying that if something doesn’t change soon I might consider a sex change. Maybe then I could give it away. God I was horny (did I say that out loud)? Sometimes I felt so alienated from society. Everyone seems to be in a big hurry to go nowhere. No one ever noticed me. So almost every night, it was just me, my friend Lurch (god what horrible name) and my faithful dog Bobo.
Late one night my friend and I walked home from the neighborhood hotel. As we walked we were met by a couple of bullies shouting profanities at us. My friend said you guys better back off because were the members of a club, (ya the losers club). One of them responded, “Probably the hair club for men. Get em”. As we ran for our lives dodging beer caps and hard boiled eggs we decided to take a stand, but luck for once was on our side. It seems they had gone in the other direction. Lurch said it was lucky for them they went the other way or I don't know what I would have done (probably pissed your pants). Lurch tried to start a club for virgin males but no one wanted to join, guess his campaign slogan “Proud To Be A Virgin”, scared them of.
As we sat on my front porch one night watching the women parade by, seems that's all we ever did was watch, wondering how to make our lives more exciting, it came to me. I explained to my friend that I know someone who is involved in one of those online sites and he met some great gals maybe we should give it a try.
Well we couldn't be happier,things couldn't be better for the both of us. We have met some wonderful caring women and, well I never kiss and tell, but the woman of my dreams, and I owe it all to a buddy who gave me this great link to check out. So if your tired of being alone and want to share your life’s experiences with someone then the link below can help you.

Will I Ever Find Someone
As I took a slow walk along the creek behind my house one sunny Sunday last year, I was looking in awe at the ravaged scenery, and the shrubs that some people would argue are flowers, and smelling the water in the creek (that I’m am sure comes from the sewers), when a bird shit on my head. I thought “oh well” just another ordinary day. As I walked along, I came across a friend of mine that I will call Stinky and please don't ask why I call him that, I think the name speaks for itself. As we walked, I mentioned to him that a bird had done its business on the top of my head, and he replied “where is that tree you were walking under, its good luck”. If I had thought for one minute that it was good luck I would have found some dog dirt and rolled around in it, (as you may have figured Stinky really doesn’t have much of a life, but then again, were two of a kind).
Our biggest problem is communicating with women. Stinky can usually mouth a few comments, then he has to go away. I’m a little more relaxed since I work with quite a few women anyway. I can usually start a conversation with them before I start to sweat and have my confidence escape me, then I have to politely excuse myself.
Stinky feels that women's standards are too high when it comes to dating, however, I beg to differ. I really don't believe for a minute the women suggesting that he have a shower before picking her up is considered “high slandered”. Stinky might be the least washed fellow I know, but he is one of the nicest (nicest not brightest). However, he will often come up with intelligent idea's that make more sense then not, but I'm not sure about this one. “We will join a Dating Site” he yelled out. I said before sometimes he comes up with good idea's but this wasn't one of those times. He proceeded to explain that a friend at work suggested the idea(nice friend). “Is this the same friend that leaves deodorant and body wash in your locker”? I asked. “It sure is! He's a very thoughtful person,” (ya right). Stinky said “My friend met a wonderful women on a dating site,” (what women?? the guy he's talking about is gay!) “Why would your gay friend use a dating site to meet women?” I asked, “I think your getting in over your head”. In the end, and after weeks of hiding from Stinky and his crazy idea, I finally decided to give in just to keep the peace.
As I tried to sleep that night, all I could think about was the last date I had, which, to me, had been a dismal failure. I’m sure the woman I'll call (“never full”), hadn’t eaten in a week prior to our date and she must have thought I had a big trust fund or something! After she had swallowed several hors d'Ĺ“uvres, as well as several other side dishes, expensive wine and a double order of lobster, I checked the balance on my credit card, then to my horror she suggested we order desert! “Desert!?” I quickly reminded her that this was not an all you can eat buffet, she then jumped up called me things I've never heard before and stormed to the door. Like the desperate person I am, I ran after her and asked if she would like to get together with me again, at which time she slugged me with her hand bag (I guess that meant no!). So I went back to the table and sat alone looking at the bill she had racked up and wondered if I would be able to get some overtime at work next week to pay for it.
I started to have a lot of doubts about joining a dating site, but since my best friend had his heart set on it (and knowing he would do anything for me), I decided to go through with it. It turned out to be the best thing we had ever done. Stinky and I both joined a Dating Site, and it wasn’t long before we had responses from some beautiful ladies. We were both very worried and excited to think that we might no longer have to make love to our hand. Stinky asked me “what should I do to get ready?”I said “just get in the shower, turn that water on, use that bar of soap (you only had it for whole year) and wash your worries down the drain”, (as well as the dirt and body odor of course).We double dated that evening to lean on each other, and we had a mind blowing time. We ate, had some drinks, and danced the night away. Stinky yanked me aside and that he was going to end up marrying his date because she was so perfect for him. I gave him a bear hug, and said “follow your heart,” and he did. She seemed to take to him as well, surprisingly!
Well I don't call him Stinky anymore, (no one does now that he has learned basic hygiene). He is and always will be, my best friend. Devon is still with the soul mate that he met on that dating site. This was several years ago and after dating for several months, they got hitched. They had one child and are expecting another any time now. As for myself, it took a little longer, but I finally found my life partner, and we are expecting our first child soon. Life is fantastic and it keeps getting better!
Its true what they say, there's someone for everyone. All you have to do is look in the right place and you'll find them. In many cases, it takes a nudge from someone who cares about you to get you going in the right direction . Life is too short and precious to spend it alone, wondering what your life would be like if you had done something to find that special person. So if you are interested in making a positive move for the future then take my advice, and get off your ass and make the first move.
Hey, if Stinky and I can do it, so can you! There are so many dating sites out there that you might think you'll never find the right one, but I'll give you a tip, this is the link that Stinky and I went to to find the best sites to join and in our opinion its the best place to find dating sites. So if you are tired of being alone and want someone to share your life and love with well just follow this link, you'll be glad you did.

How Men Can Have Better Sex without Drugs
There is just so much crap on the internet about having better sex with drugs. I suppose Viagra and cialis and “dick pills” have their place if you really have a problem, but in most cases, there is not really a physical issue at all. Sometimes it is just bad health habits that lead up to a form of impotency. Your regular MD will just give you drugs because that is what they are conditioned to do. You may want to look at the following as a viable alternative.
No gym, no expense, and you can even do it during meetings at work!

College Dating
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not off my rocker or anything like that, but please stop telling me to enjoy being single because “one day” I might find myself with a wife, children and a condo, being single is beginning to wear on me. I have been single for all my life, single is my closest friend, I have had more than my fair share of relationship problems, I want to have a real relationship with someone other than my sex toys, college dating is very frustrating for me. Why does it appear like all my friends are in a committed relationship but me, Why can I not be successful at finding the love of my life?
I asked a close companion once (no not my pet monkey), but rather a college friend how they do it, I explained to him that when I go to meet people at parties, the other guys seem to have no problem approaching the women, but no matter who I take a shine to, I am constantly outmaneuvered by other men who walk away with the trophy. His answer was to question me if I would just let someone jump in front of me in line at the grocery store. I replied I would kick them and tell then to get in line and wait their turn like everyone else. He said good, the next time some creep tries to rob you of your women play thing just push him aside, walk up to the women buffet and grab your piece. Maybe I should have asked my cat.
I guess I do not get some college women, I'm a smart attractive young man but they act like I have two heads. The ones I do go out with are only interested in sexual stimulation, for many college women you have to shell out or get out, so I'd rather get out.
But its not just males that have problems, there are college girls who do not seem to play well with college guys. It seems if you won't get in the sack with them they think you are a pansy, its too bad because I have a lot to offer, other then sex. The girls tell me that a lot of the college guys expect them go to bed with them and if they want to wait a bit he trashes them to his friends. Most of these poor unfortunates are great girls that have respect for guys and don't just think of them as an easy lay, why can't these guys see that these women will not accept this sort of treatment.
There may be, however, a silver lining to this cloud, several of the guys and girls have decided to go online to some of the college dating sites they've heard about and sign up.. There have been some real success stories floating around about how guys and girls met their soul mates on these sites. They said the people on these sites don't care don't care if you work out or not and they're not just interested in a good time in bed, they're really nice people, and college students like us. They have a life plan that includes more than just getting through the current semester. They hope to meet the person of their dreams and settle down to a long future together. My best friend met his future wife on an online college dating site, I was surprised because it happened so quickly, that they were an item before I knew he was going to join an online dating site.
I have decided that I'm going to give it a try for myself. My friends have given me a 'college dating sites' link to try. They said that this is where they started to look for college dating sites to join, and they have nothing but good things to say about the way the site recommends and rates the various college dating sites. Hopefully I will be as successful as they were and find the person that I will spend the rest of my life with. If you are in college and or looking to find someone to help make your college experience a little better why don't you follow this link:

Can You Find True Love
As I walked down to the creek behind my house one sunny Sunday last year, I was looking at the half dead trees, and the weeds that some people believe to be flowers, and smelling the water in the creek (that I swear comes from the sewers), when a bird shit on my head. I thought “oh well” just another ordinary day. As I walked along, I bumped into a friend of mine that I will call Stinky and please don't ask why I call him that, I think it is obvious. As we walked, I related the bird incident, and he replied “take me to the tree that you were walking under, its good luck”. If I had thought for one minute that it was good luck I would have rolled in it, (as you may have figured Stinky really doesn’t have much of a life, but then again, neither do I).
Our biggest problem is chatting with the opposite sex. Stinky can usually mumble a couple of sentences, then he has to go away. I’m a little more outgoing since I work with a lot of women anyway. I can usually start a conversation with them before I start to sweat and have my confidence escape me, then I have to politely excuse myself.
Stinky feels that women have unreal expectations when it comes to dating, however, I beg to differ. I really don't believe for a minute the women suggesting that he have a shower before picking her up is classified as “high standard”. Stinky may not be the cleanest person I know, but he is one of the nicest (nicest not brightest). However, he does sometimes on occasion come up with pretty decent idea's that make more sense then not, but I'm not sure about this one. “We will join a Dating Site” he yelled out. I said before sometimes he comes up with good idea's but this wasn't one of those times. He proceeded to tell me that a friend at work gave him the idea(some friend). “Is this the same friend that leaves deodorant and body wash on your desk?” I asked. “It sure is! He's a very thoughtful person,” (ya right). Stinky said “My friend met a wonderful women on a dating site,” (what women?? the guy he's talking about is gay!) “Why would your gay friend use a dating site to meet women?” I asked, “I think your getting in over your head”. In the end, and after weeks of dodging Stinky and his crazy idea, I finally decided to give in just to make him happy.
As I tried to sleep that night, all I could think about was the last date I had, which had not ended under the best of circumstances. I’m sure the woman I'll call “hungry”, hadn’t eaten in a few days prior to our date and she must have thought I owned an oil well or something! After she had consumed several appetizers as well as several other side dishes, expensive wine and the main course which was a steak dinner, I checked the balance on my credit card, then to my horror she demanded we order desert! “Desert!?” I quickly reminded her that this was not an all you can eat dinner, she then jumped up called me things I've never heard before and stormed to the door. Like the desperate person I am, I ran after her and asked if she would like to get together with me again, at which time she assaulted me with her hand bag (I guess that meant no!). So I went back to the table and sat alone looking at the bill she had racked up and wondered if I would be able to get lots of overtime at work next week to pay for it.
I started to have a lot of doubts about joining a dating site, but since my best friend was very excited about it (and knowing he would do anything for me), I decided to go through with it. It turned out to be the best move that we had ever made. Stinky and I both joined a Dating Site, and it wasn’t long before we had responses from some lovely ladies. We were both very nervous and excited to think that we could finally stop using blow up dolls for companions. Stinky asked me “what should I do to get ready?”I said “just get in the shower, turn that water on, use that bar of soap (you can't take it with you) and scrub your worries away”, (as well as the dirt and body odor of course).We double dated that evening to lean on each other, and we had an amazing time. It was a standard dinner and dancing date, but it just went so well. Stinky took me aside and confided in me, that even though he had just met this women, he knew this was the one. I gave him a brotherly hug, and said “follow your heart,” and he did. She seemed to take to him as well, surprisingly!
Well I don't call him Stinky anymore, (no one does now that he has learned basic hygiene). He is above all, my best friend. Devon is still with his special woman that he met on that dating site. This almost a decade ago now and after dating for some time, they got hitched. They had one child and are expecting another any time now. As for me, it took a little longer, but I finally found the love of my life, and we are expecting our first child soon. Life is terrific and it keeps getting better!
Its true what they say, there's somebody for everyone. All you have to do is look in the right place and you'll find them. Some times it just takes someone who cares about you to push you in the right direction . Life is too short and precious to spend it alone, wondering what it would be like to have someone to share it with. So if you want to turn around your life then take my advice, and get off your ass and go for it.
Hey, if Stinky and I can do it, so can you! There are so many dating sites out there it is easy to get lost, or waste you time on insignificant ones, but I'll give you a tip, this is the link that Stinky and I went to to find the best sites to join and in our opinion its the ultimate starting point to find dating sites. So if you are tired of being alone and want someone to share your life and love with well just follow this link, it will be the best move you ever make.

Dating Online – Ins and Outs
Online Dating Survey Results:
The following is a summary of a study of about 100 or so urban dwellers in how they look for people to date. Dating Online may not result in you getting the person of your dreams, but it may be an interesting diversion from all those hard to believe Match.com and eHarmony.com commercial breaks that try to convince you about how lonely you are during the late winter/early spring/ mid summer blahs.
<bold>Some Dating Insights Gained:</bold>
1) It is not uncommon for members of the online dating community to be members on various sites at the same time. The attitude is that the more exposure you give yourself to other people, the more likely it is that you will find a match. Sort of like buying several lottery tickets instead of just one. These same people are likely to be dating several different people concurrently hoping to find the one who clicks. In any event, you would want to play the field until you find someone that you really bond with. After all, in real life, you are probably meeting a friend of a friend, or at least have had some opportunity to watch them interact with other people at your favorite watering hole. That tends to prescreen the people that you would actually go out with before you make any sort of commitment to one-on-one dating. In actual fact, in most conventional dating scenes, you are actually doing some multi-tasking on the pre-screening front before you ever interact in the first place. Because of the anonymous nature of online dating sites, you cannot prescreen people through friends before meeting them. One way dating sites try to mitigate that is via chat and anonymous email, but even so, once you meet in real life for the first time, it has more of the hallmarks of a blind date that any other dating situation that you have found yourself in. With this high tendency not to hit it off on the first actual date, the online dating community tends to interact with more people at the same time, and as a consequence, they are more tolerant of people playing the field during the initial relationship phases.
2) Online Dating is much more superficial – pictures and videos are everything – without them you get almost no action, or attention. And you ladies need not worry, as long as you have a reasonably flattering shot of yourself having fun someplace, you will likely get responses from lots of men. This is a marketing exercise, not a life story exercise. If you are selling beauty products on television you do not explain each step of the research that lead to the product. Although you might mention the research, you tend to focus on the results, and the benefits. Market yourself in a positive and flattering manner. Whatever you do, do not post a picture of yourself that is taken with your web cam – the video quality sucks, and you can never show yourself in a socially fun situation with a web cam For women, since men do not read much, you have to be reasonably brief in what you say, but it also needs to be fun and engaging if you hope to have him read. Watch the movie “Must Love Dogs” for ideas in how to market yourself on an internet dating site. If you are a man – pay attention to the words as best you can – look for the “must not be” things that many women pre-qualify their profiles with, and do not annoy them if you are a “must not be” person. Women are generally strong communicators; hopefully having to read “likes long walks on the beach” for the umpteenth time will not make you lose your cookies. In any event, for both sexes, keep the profile text fun, factual and short. If you are lucky, you will find other people with similar interests and a complimentary sense of silliness. The anonymous chat and email services are there for your benefit and safety. Use them extensively before agreeing to meet in person for the first time. Do not be too verbose in you profile. Your profile is a short teaser ad that highlights your benefits to catch someone's eye. Do not pollute it with negative statements of past failures. You are trying to sell someone about who you are and where you want to go. You do not want to bore them with the history of your life, all your mistakes, and what you changed your mind about.
3) Men without strong advancement prospects, or God forbid, no jog at all will find it difficult making much headway on some specialty dating sites where people are focused on success. In their heads, women are looking for winners, not losers. On the other hand, if you can hook a woman physically or emotionally, they will often overlook the fact that you are stock shelves in a grocery store, as long as you are able to show her that you have solid future prospects. Keep your personal financial status out of the conversation if at all possible. If the person keeps insisting on focusing on that particular statistic, they just might be a gold digger
4) Full figured women are actually not at the disadvantage that they often think they are. As long as you do not have flab's of cellulite hanging several inches under your arms, you likely have a solid chance of getting the favorable attention of most men. If you are not wider than you are tall, then likely you have a pretty good chance of finding someone. Since most women will often post a younger, or more flattering photo of themselves, they will often attract men online. Coupled with shaving a few years off of their ages is also done with great regularity. Men will often lie about their income, but are usually quite truthful about their ages. Men are almost always athletic or average, and almost none admit to being overweight or obese.
5) Love does not actually happen online – love can only happen after you meet. You either totally connect and love someone, or you do not. It is the little interactions that result in a strong attraction that can lead to love, but that is often fillial love, not eros love. It takes chemistry between two individuals when they kiss, and have sex that leads to truly erotic, head over heals love. In the online dating world, from the time you first start to interact online to the time you meet in person is about two to four weeks. If you are too cautious, then the person will likely meet someone else in the meantime, and you will fail. Don't forget, if you are attracted to them, then others will be too, and since everyone on dating sites are trying to meet as many people as is reasonably possible, you are in a time limited competition to win their hearts.
6) There is still a social stigma associated with online dating. The real problem with online personals sites is that they have had a reputation in the past for being the hangouts of losers and predators. Nothing is further from the truth. Unfortunately, many people refuse to even try online dating because of these factors. The fact is that one in five relationships at the current time are people who met online.. You are likely more at risk in conventional dating as you are with online dating. Most people who meet and fall in love online do not broadcast how they met to the world at large, so all you hear about is the people who were not successful on dating sites. This leaves a bad negative impression of the online dating industry in the public eye. This tendency to be closed-mouthed is kind of silly because everyone knows that people who date to have met at some time, so why try to hide it.
7) The real power of dating sites is their ability to match people up who are in completely different social circles, and therefore would never have met through any conventional means. Since everyone on a dating site is there for the same reason, you will find it amazing how easy it is to talk to other people about your wants and needs in a relationship. These social dating sites are the ideal place for busy professionals or single parents. Who has the time to hang out in bars with a bunch of underage teens with forged identity? There is not enough hours in the day, so if you want to meet someone, then you should take your search online to make more productive use of your limited time. Online dating is the wave of the present and future if you want to find successful and interesting people. No matter if the forum is online dating or bar hopping, when it comes to finding the person of your dreams, you will likely have to kiss a few frogs along the way. So just get out into that real world or Internet marshland and get on with it.
