Why we are Often Attracted to the Wrong People

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:38:33 -0400

What attracts us to people we know will inevitability hurt us? If you were to consider that fact that the current divorce rate in America is more than 50%, it’s clear that women and men are frustrated with the opposite gender. This trend is pushing people into re-arranging their priorities thus remaining single for longer and delaying marriage. In simple terms, both men and women are playing it safe opting to stay safe and single rather than trapped and sorry. Even though many men wonder why women are attracted to bad boys, the ladies cannot understand why it is that there’s simply not enough nice guys to go around. It’s the women who hold the reputation over men for dating bad boys and playing with fire, although men really are equally to blame for dating bitchy girls. Why is it that loads of guys who are dating beautiful, thoughtful and sweet girls continue to cheat and walk all over their girlfriends?

Anxiety-Proof Dating Tips For Timid Guys

Sun, 03 Jul 2011 03:03:31 -0400

Some men are naturally gifted when it comes to talking to women. Although most men need to fine-tune their dating skills. Let's weigh in on some advice from the dating experts as to how men can start pushing the right buttons and attract the ladies! Guys wondering how to ask a woman out on a date and get her to say yes should see the movie The Social Network. It's a somewhat half-fiction film about Mark Zuckerberg, the genius behind the number one social networking site on the planet, Facebook. In the opening scene are some good examples of how a man should not talk to the female species: speaking in rapid-fire fashion while jumping from one topic to the next, 90 percent of the time talking about himself, while his confused date struggles to keep pace. All her efforts to understand what was going on were met with a defensive and acerbic comment. He's a jerk and when she dumps him in the end, telling him, going out with you is like dating a Stairmaster, we heave a sigh of relief. **End Summary** Topics: dating tips]]> shy guys]]> men]]> online dating]]> meet women]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author: Matt Fuller writes about a variety of topics that relate to free online dating sites , relationships advice, online dating sites Australia , social media issues and dating options for men and women.

How Online Dating Plays Cupid Between Strangers

Sun, 03 Jul 2011 02:40:43 -0400

There used to be plenty of stigma attached to online dating, but current numbers don’t lie: More people are now beginning to accept (and use!) online dating sites as a legitimate matchmaking tool. The Internet has made inroads into practically every facet of human life, but nowhere is its application more mind boggling, and yes, questioned and stigmatized than in helping people find love. Estimated to be worth $4 billion, online dating is a robust and fast growing industry. As of 2009, there were approximately 1,400 online dating sites in North America alone. When it comes to playing Cupid between strangers on opposite sides of the globe who would otherwise not meet each other if it were not for the Internet, it appears that existing online dating platforms have only scratched the surface. Various technologies continue to emerge to improve the way people meet potential mates online. It used to be that online dating sites mainly relied on users’ personal information and interests in matching couples, today, there are such things as mathematical algorithms and facial recognition, video dating, and virtual dating (blends online dating with online gaming). **End Summary** Topics: online dating]]> free dating sites]]> singles dating]]> chat]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author: Matt Fuller writes about a number of topics that relate to singles online dating services, social networking, dating sites in Australia and social media.

Dating-Terminators: Uncool Habits That Spoil a Good Date

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 07:01:57 -0400

Sometimes, what could otherwise be an enjoyable evening with someone gets ruined because the other person has annoying habits that just go against the rules of proper dating etiquette and social manners. How would you like to date a woman whose eyes look like a raccoon’s? If you think Avril Lavigne’s trademark eye makeup is sexy, maybe it is, but on someone you’re dating? In broad daylight? I wouldn’t touch a girl wearing that much eye makeup with a ten foot pole. And while we’re on the subject of annoying things, I thought about some of the annoying habits people make while on a date. The one above is one, and the following make up the rest. 1. Being late. Being late at acting awards is quite cool, but you’re no Angelina Jolie and I’m no Brad Pitt and we’re not vying for any awards. In my book there’s nothing more annoying than your date showing up late. You're looking to get off to a great start right at the get-go so don't be late, you'll be fighting an uphill battle before the date even begins. Show some respect, please. 2. Blabbering. **End Summary** Topics: bad dating]]> dating ideas]]> singles dating]]> tips]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author: Matt Fuller is a contributing author for various sites relating to free online dating, singles advice, dating websites , advice for couples and free online dating sites reviews.

New York City isn't only about sex and the city of fantasy. It's a diverse world class city ripe for entertainment, excitement, and nature loving excursions perfect for falling in love. Living in the city that never sleeps means living life in a fast-paced lane. Sometimes it seems that life passes by so quickly we do not even have the chance to live it the way we wanted it.

Just stop for a moment and think a while for yourself, for your happiness and for your future. Honestly who would want to spend their golden days living alone, bitter and regretting every second of the day of not having that time to chase after LOVE. No one right? Certainly not you.

Blind Dating: Is This a Forgotten Courting Ritual?

Sat, 11 Jun 2011 23:14:25 -0400

Many people today feel that blind dating is something outdated and a thing of the pre-internet era. However, some people associate blind dating with singles online dating. Not only are the two concepts far different from each other, the method of dating delivery is very different as well. Blind dates are just that; they’re blind. They’re set up by friends and you don’t know what your date looks like until you actually meet face to face. Also, you have no idea about the person’s character, behavior, likes and dislikes unless you start talking. With singles online dating sites, you first meet online by e-mails then online messaging and finally through online chat rooms and even cam chat rooms. You get a chance to view each other’s pictures and even study each other’s profile. You can spend some time getting to know each other even just through the chats and asking each other pertinent questions. Finally, when you both think the time is ripe, you both agree to meet in a public place of your choosing. There’s nothing blind with this type of dating. Although dating sites have a tremendous advantage, don’t dismiss blind dating too soon. **End Summary** Topics: Blind dating]]> date]]> online dating]]> looking for romance]]> relationships]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author: Matt Fuller writes about several topics that relate to singles online dating , dating reviews, free dating sites social networking, singles chat sites , dating tips and advice for couples and relationships.

Why Do Most Men Fail At Online Dating?

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 23:16:32 -0400

Some guys are naturals when it comes to online dating and girls. But for most of us mere mortals, there is a technique and a process one must master in order to develop into a seasoned online dater. Looks and brains alone aren’t enough, in fact too much of a good thing can undermine one’s chances. Many men who, after perusing the chat rooms and online dating sites in search of a mate, end up with more misses than hits - in the majority of cases, mostly misses. Online rejection is one of the biggest issues would-be online daters face. Succeeding with online dating sites requires a little foresight, but most importantly, common sense. The girls have a huge choice of men from which to select, so if you don't stack up it's pretty much a case of 'easy come ease go." Dating isn’t supposed to be rocket science, and even if it were, men are wired in such a way that they would supposedly excel at it. There are two most likely reasons: men overestimate OR underestimate themselves. **End Summary** Topics: online dating men]]> singles]]> dating girls]]> improve dating success]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author.

Why Single Women in Their 30's Are Hot Property!

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:44:23 -0400

Older women tend to be more assertive and uninhibited in and outside of the bedroom -- qualities that make them male magnets. Many women fiercely guard their age, but there’s also a not-so-well-guarded secret that women in their 30's know about. 30 something year old women are just coming into their prime making them hot property. There's something extra sexy about a woman whose confident, experienced and knows where she's heading in life. According to a UK study a few years back where over 1,000 women aged 45-60 were quizzed about their sex and lifestyle, 34 is the average age that the women felt they were at their sexiest. And here’s more good news: Many men actually think women in their 30s are more attractive than those in their 20s. For these men, love and sex is a ‘confidence’ game, and the fact that older women tend to be more at ease with their sexuality and more successful career-wise, makes them ooze more confidence that men find irresistible. Women in their 30s are perceived to be more assertive. They recognize nonsense when they see it and won’t put up with it. **End Summary** Topics: dating single women]]> 30 year women]]> online dating]]> mature women]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author.

Dating In The 21st Century: Why 30 Is The New 20

Tue, 31 May 2011 23:48:49 -0400

There are a number of contributing factors as to why 30 has become the new 20 in today's hectic and modern environment. Today's singles face more challenging economic and social hurdles, all of which delay traditions like marriage and having families. If you are in your late 20s or early 30s and still single, try not to worry, you're in the company of a growing group of adult singles who are simply trying to get ahead in life before taking on commitments such as marriage. Compared to a few decades ago, the stigma attached to being single when one has passed the 25- to 30-year-old mark is crumbling away, and you are less likely to be judged simply because you haven’t walked down the aisle yet. Twenty years ago, the average age that people got married was early 20s, but back then, secure, well paying jobs were in abundance, and it was easier for those with only a high school diploma to be gainfully employed. Add cheap, government-subsidized housing and lower cost of living into the mix and you've got young couples with relatively fewer headaches in raising a family. **End Summary** Topics: women 30s]]> online dating]]> meet women online]]> 30 new 20]]> singles]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author.

Eligible outback Aussies entering the online dating scene are definitely good news for city-bred single women who might already be contemplating the prospect of spending their twilight years unattached.

Ex Facebook Engineer Launches Coupons Site - ThruSocial

His cleverly veiled deceit was soon uncovered and he was ordered to pay her. Millions of lonely hearts are using the Internet to look for love.

Facebook Faces off Against Search Giant Google

Thu, 26 May 2011 01:24:04 -0400

Facebook’s attempts to topple Google took on a more subversive note after the social networking giant was caught trying to spread bad press about its rival. Facebook, however, only succeeded at casting itself in a bad light and eliciting ridicule from the blogosphere. It didn’t help that Facebook itself is also guilty of the supposed transgression it is accusing Google of committing: sharing users’ information without their knowledge. Facebook went so far as to hire a top caliber PR firm to seed supposedly incriminating evidence against Google on the web. The plan failed because the PR firm revealed the deal to Google itself. Analysts are convinced that the privacy concerns Facebook is harping about is just the red herring. The real issue is that Facebook wants to push Google out of the picture so it can get its hands on the bulk of online advertising deals. Another reason why Facebook is hell bent on damaging Google’s credibility is Social Circle, Google’s own social networking service which uses user data collected by Facebook. Like Facebook, Social Circle lets Gmail users access their friends’ information and keep track of what they are up to. **End Summary** Topics: Google Facebook rivalry]]> Internet search technologies]]> dating applications]]> search technologies]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Matt Fuller is a contributing writer for a number of websites.

Single and Loving It Or Relationship From Hell?

Wed, 25 May 2011 22:13:18 -0400

Never be deceived into believing that marital life or even a companion is going to instantly provide joy and happiness, or might fill a lonesome emptiness within your heart. With any sort of completely new romance, when the honeymoon ends you'll probably determine that the quality of happiness isn't any greater compared to if you were single. Remaining single doesn't automatically need to represent some sort of transition period in between romantic relationships. At times women tend not to feel 'complete' except if they've got a person to call their 'other half'. The Television sequence Sex In The City demonstrates single existence in every one of its glorification. The popular TV series illustrates a genuine depiction about single living as well as its challenges, in particular how all those females didn't feel 'whole' without having love in their lives - aside from the feisty and liberated Samantha! The chronicle involved with singledom is a fascinating one. Whereby males were generally 'official bachelors', females were 'old housemaids', or even more deplorable, 'spinsters' - an expression which should be put in past times exactly where it should be. **End Summary** Topics: single life]]> online dating]]> singles dating]]> singles women]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author.

How Did Facebook Trump Myspace?

Tue, 24 May 2011 22:24:43 -0400

It wasn’t that long ago that Facebook and Myspace were direct competitors vying for your social time. How did Facebook not only steal the social networking crown but become so big it is now used by 1 in 13 people worldwide. Myspace Decline Myspace originally launched in 2003. By 2006 it was the largest Social Networking site on the planet, but by 2008 is was already in decline. There are several factors to consider with this fall. Myspace’s purchase by News Corp, or the three year US$900 million advertisement deal with Google which restricted the amount of non-advertised space on its pages and effectively limited the user web page redesign features. So what did Facebook do right while Myspace made crucial yet detrimental decisions? Site Design and Customization Part of Myspace’s initial appeal was the ability of the user to customize their page layout. Myspace had an original template, but more often than not, regular users discarded this template for backgrounds, fonts and colours that more accurately reflected them. It was a promising idea, and spoke to the user’s need to represent themself as an individual, but ultimately, it played a large part in users turning away from the site. **End Summary** Topics: Facebook and Myspace]]> online dating]]> social networking growth]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Matt Fuller provides article services relating to a number of topics ranging from online dating sites , social networking, dating apps, chat rooms and various other topics.

How to Avoid Those Dating Disasters

Tue, 24 May 2011 02:01:38 -0400

Some of us have been there and some of us have seen worse. First date disasters come in all sizes and shapes. Some are not our fault, really. Those disasters more often than not stem from our own mistakes or unpreparedness and could have usually been avoided. For those who encounter the “who the heck is this person, I gotta get out of here” category, the simple solution is to get out. Before the date, have a friend or sibling on standby with instructions to call you when you text to get out. That way, you can fake an ‘emergency’ and get out pronto. If you’re not into this kind of agreement, you can always tell your date straight to his face that this was all a bad mistake - but hey, most of us take the easy way out, so make sure you have a plan B ready, and a plan C for that matter. For those who encounter the “I’m being a jerk but, my date is really nice” category, there are just some things unavoidable like running into your ex in the same restaurant. **End Summary** Topics: first date disasters]]> dating manners]]> dating tips]]> advice]]> online dating]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Matt Fuller offers a variety of article services including topics relating to free dating websites and singles chat sites .

How To Celebrate Special Romantic Occasions

Anniversaries, birthdays, Valentines, a promotion, etc. It seems almost every month there is always an occasion to celebrate. Here are some tips to make those special occasions really “special.” Is there something you never did together or does she have a wish list? White water rafting perhaps? Riding a hot air balloon? Or take a vacation somewhere else? The key here is to ask her as subtly as you can without revealing anything. If your city provides dinner river or lake cruises, then this is a brilliant idea to spend quality one-on-one time alone! The romantic dinner cruise experience offers live cabaret, three course dinner blended with moving scenery creating the potential for a night of fun, laughs and romance. Remember dating as a teenager? Romance applies to any age. Go out to a drive-in movie (that is, if they still exist in your area). Imagine the popcorn and long kisses while confessing your deepest feelings and sharing magic moments under the stars. Cover your bed with your best colourful sheets and throw in some rose petals. **End Summary** Topics: romantic ideas]]> special occasions]]> dating advice]]> online dating]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author.
