#1 Reason Why Singles Use Online Dating Sites

The Truth About Why We Date Online

Look at Yourself First
When people end up at online dating sites looking for love, there are certain things we know, but we don’t want to admit to ourselves. That’s the biggest problem, though. You see, before we can even think about finding love online we need to do one thing first. So before you can start putting your heart on your sleeve for all to see, take some much needed advice… Be honest with yourself. Without this basic avenue of honesty, how can we expect to be honest with anyone else?

The fear of what others will think plays a big factor in what we tell ourselves. Fear of rejection, fear of happiness, fear of success-you name it, it shapes our honesty-or dishonesty-with ourselves. So, the first thing to do is man up (sorry girls) and talk about things with our inner selves and find out where we are in life and inside our minds. We all have out skeletons in our closets, but if we expect to get ahead in anything, we must confront those skeletons. That means maybe bringing up some things that we don’t want to.

Rules of the Road & Online Dating Part 1: 3 Email Etiquette Rules for Women

For the next few weeks, maybe a few months-I don’t know really, it depends on how many I can fit into one post-I don’t want it to be unorganized, that’s for sure. We’ll go over one subject at a time. I am going to do a series on the rules of online dating. Most will probably be some form of common sense, but as with many people, common sense needs to be reiterated over and over again-especially when it comes to the subject of dating. That said, this is just a reminder that there is a proper way to behave. Online dating is not a free for all, after all. So, buckle down, read up and enjoy the Rules of the Road & Online Dating-and put it to use!

When online dating first began, the rules were-there were no rules. Now, in the world of privacy conflicting with Net Neutrality, the rules for online dating have changed just as drastically-there actually are some these days. And what’s more, there are rules for every different aspect of the online dating scene. Rules for profiles, rules for safety, rules for chatting and talking, and most of all, rules for meeting for the first time. Lets take a look at some of the most important and basic rules of emailing when online dating.

What?!?! You Gave Me What Virus? How to Stay Safe Online

Just Because you Are Invisible Doesn’t mean You are Safe…Yet

virusalert
Hi Everyone!It’s so nice to finally be back. Had to take somewhat of an impromptu vacation. I got this huge virus and lost about three years worth of work in a matter of hours. Then I got sick again (a little medical mishap-nothing to worry about anymore) but I am back-and here to stay for good. With that said, let me reiterate a few things before I go on with today’s post.

First of all, anything I have ever written about is the truth. Plain and simple. If I wrote it here, it has either happened to me, or to someone I know. Which is why I try to use what has happened to me as a learning experience, no matter what it is. And I hope that my words can help at least one person in this vast sea of daters, as unfortunately, online daters are targeted much more than anyone else when it comes to scams and the like. That said, I hope to use my words to keep us all safe-and warned-of the dangers we can all face online and off.

So, if you are here reading something and it catches your eye and starts you thinking about someone you know, maybe you or a friend, who is going through what I write about, just know that you (or your friend) are not alone. Know that there is at least one other person in this world who has been there, done that-and I lived to tell the tale.

3 Tips For Increasing Online Dating Profile Views

Do You Want More Hits On Your Profile? Heed These Secrets

k0072965
There is such a thing as a “Too Perfect Profile”
Ok, the main thing with online dating is finding someone, the whole point of being on the site, right? Right. So lets say, for example, you are on the site and you are doing all the right things, and are following all the tips you know of to meet the right person. The problem is, no one is trying to contact you. How are you supposed to “follow the rules’ of meeting someone, when there has been no one to talk to? You can’t exactly take someone out for a first date if you can’t even get one person to have a chat with you online, can you? No, you can’t.

Well, the problem may still be your profile. I know, I know, you followed all the directions and heeded all of the tips to a “T”. Believe it or not, even though someone might have a great profile and fit the bill of those who might want to meet them, there are still some things that could be wrong with the profiles which may be keeping love away.

The Setting & Scene
Imagine this scene for a minute (true story-I swear it): You are at the bar, when you see the finest looking woman you have ever laid eyes on, just a few seats down from you. You are thinking of all those tips your friends have told you about what you should say to a woman, you know, like a pick up line. And, kind of like trying to figure out what to say on a first date, the thoughts and possibilities are endless. Of course, you don’t want to say the wring things, right? You definitely don’t want to scare her off. The goal in this moment is to get her to laugh, or even a smile will do. Because, believe it or not, if you can get a woman to smile at something you say, you’re in. Done deal.
Whisper3
So, you think real hard and real quick and you come up with one of those pick up lines that sound good, one of the ones your best friend claims works every time for him. You walk over to her and you actually get close enough to say it directly in her ear… Then you pause for effect, and it happens. She responds in a way that catches you off guard.

A New Trend in An old Game

Mvd911311
Women are Human Too
Since when are men the only species allowed to have any kind of fun? For the longest time, centuries, even, men have been dating younger women and for the most part it is seen as an acceptable act. But for women, the act of an older woman dating a younger man is seen as… Well, um-dirty and downright wrong. In fact, in recent times, more and more older women have begun to date men, sometimes much younger than themselves. And the world has labeled these older woman as Cougars, for the analogy of them as predators feeding on the younger men who are supposed to be the prey. This makes it seem as if the world has not yet caught up with this trend, as most people do not like the fact older women do this. They see it as something more than what it really is. Well, I say it is time to put the world in its place because why should things be any different for women then they are for men?

Are You New to Online Dating? Don’t Fret-Here’s A Guide Just for You!

Online Dating Sites-Make Them Work for You
The online dating world today is a far cry from what it used to be. Where in the past only a few people had the nerve to try using one to push their love life to the limits, in today’s modern age, more than 20 million singles visit these dating sites-every month! But here’s the problem, most of the people using the sites do not know how to make them work to their advantage. And for those beginners who are just starting out who don’t know their way around a site, it can be murder on their luck-and their morale- trying to find someone. For these beginners, their success rates of finding love online are very low.
pe0063091
Why is this? Well, there are a few different reasons. The first being the quality of the site you have chosen to use. Some online dating sites really are better than the others in many respects in terms of traffic to the site, how easy or difficult it is to navigate the site, and the amount of real people with real profiles, and not just spammers signed up for the site’s services. All of these things will affect the way the site works for you.

She Knows What She's Doing to You!

I am probably going to get killed for writing this. This are some very powerful words I’ve got here. This is a seven part series on the most unknown secrets of women. And they are not just any secrets, either. They are the secrets about women that most of us women don’t want any man to ever know about.

The Secret of Some Relationships
The fact of the matter is, at some point in your dating life, you have been tested, and if you are dating someone right now, you are probably being tested as I write! We women have our ways of getting to know someone, and we also have the right to pick and choose who we want to date, just as men do and if we feel a test is needed, then we will go ahead and test you. The problem is, many times a man will fail this test because he has no idea he is being tested in the first place. And that is the whole point. If a man knows he is being tested, then he will pass with flying colors and us women will never really know the true you in certain situations. And that is a problem.

Women & The Married Man Syndrome: Why it Happens & What it Means

The Woman & the Married Man: Why Such a Strong Attraction?

ringfingeroncomputer
You Did It Again…
You fell for another married man. And for any woman who has not yet done so, you may never so count your blessings on that one. Because, let me tell you… The falling for the married man syndrome is hell. It is a hard situation to get out of once it happens. And, unfortunately, once it DOES happen the first time, it happens over and over again, even though we keep saying we have “learned our lesson this time around.” We never really do, right?

The Science & Psychology Behind It
Here’s the deal, a married man is a forbidden fruit and once a woman gets a taste of that fruit, it’s like a drug and she has to have more. Being with a married man sometimes can make a woman feel like she is living dangerously. She is doing something forbidden and many women get a rush off of that kind of feeling. It really is almost like a drug.

7 (Mostly) Unknown Secrets of Women Part 5: Sexy Women & The Difference Between Their Words & Their Actions

Of Course There’s a Difference-Never Believe What You Hear

I am probably going to get killed for writing this. This are some very powerful words I’ve got here. This is a seven part series on the most unknown secrets of women. And they are not just any secrets, either. They are the secrets about women that most of us women don’t want any man to ever know about.

So why am I posting them? Because I am loyal to my readers as my readers are loyal to me. It’s that simple. Respect for the people I say. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. So read on, follow the advice given here and go on to a successful life in dating. That is of course until you find the right one…

-Especially When Women Say It While Dating
I know I’ve said it in earlier posts, but this is probably the biggest secret of them all. While women may say many things, while they may be hurtful or loving, or anywhere in between, it is a good thing to keep in mind that women don’t always mean what they say.

One of the biggest things for men to know if they want to be successful with women from early on? Never listen to them. Well, no-that’s not entirely true. Of course you have to listen to them. But while you are listening to them watch them and what they do while they are talking to you. What are women doing while they are talking to you Just because women say something with their mouths does NOT mean they actually mean it. And the one true way to tell is you watch them say it with their bodies as well… and at the same time!

Body language is one of the most important aspects to a relationship. You don’t have to be a trained psychologist to know that, but it takes a hell of an intelligent man to remember it when faced with an in-depth conversation with the beautiful lady standing in front of him. The first reaction any man will have is to respond to what that woman is saying to him with her mouth. That’s because he is usually focused on something OTHER than what she is doing. He is not paying attention to her body language, rather he is most likely paying attention to the prettier parts, if you catch my meaning.

And please, guys, in no way am I hinting that men are dogs and only care about one thing-absolutely not. What I am saying, however, is this: While it is perfectly OK to watch whatever part of the women that makes you happy, you will get the most benefit from watching to see if the way she acts matches the way she speaks-and coincide with her words in particular.
