How Does Match.com Work?

Posted by:

In this three-part series, I’m going to discuss in detail Match.com, eHarmony, and finally I will compare these services to determine which is the “better” of the two. In this article, I’ll be describing Match.com from the ground up.

Does Match.com Work?

I won’t spend too much time on this question mostly because I’m biased: I met my wife using Match.com. I understand if you’re having reservations about giving the service a try (I had the same reservations myself). But ...

The Right Way to Encourage Contact in Your Dating Profile

Posted by:

I’ve looked at my fair share of online dating profiles and I wanted to talk about one of the bad habits I see in many profiles: the plea for contact. There are many examples of this; some good examples but honestly most of the time when I see someone trying to encourage communication it isn’t done in a good way. Here are some of the more common ways people will attempt this:

  • If you decide to contact me, I’m very flattered.
  • Please ...

Step-by-Step Online Dating Profile Creation Guide

Posted by:

Writing your online dating profile can be a tricky thing. You may want to build yours using other dating profile examples. This is understandable: many of us feel fine discussing ourselves in conversation but put us in front of a computer screen with a few text boxes to fill and we freeze up. This can lead to some of us relying on dating profile examples as the basis for our profile…which doesn’t always work that well.

My Boyfriend Has Kept His Online Dating Profile Active

Posted by:

Strangely enough, this situation seems to happen more often than I would expect: after finding a serious relationship some men still keep their online dating profile active. The explanations for this are pretty weak but these men always make the argument that there’s some good reason to keep their profile active.

If you’re a woman who has found herself in this situation, I think you have a problem on your hands. It may not mean he’s cheating but I do think ...

My Dating Profile Gets Lots of Views But I Get No Emails

Posted by:

Does your profile get a lot of attention but you’re not getting any contacts from other online daters?

I wanted to discuss a few possibilities on why this can happen. One major assumption I’ll be making is that you have a good profile photo. As I’ll discuss later in this article, a good photo is often the most important part of your profile, especially for women. However, since the problem being discussed includes the fact that the profile is receiving ...

How To Dress To Attract Men (At a Bar)

Posted by:

Recently in the Telegraph there was an article that discussed how women should dress at the bar to meet the most men. They’re findings suggest that a woman should reveal 40% of her skin to meet the most men. Revealing too little leads to far less contact from men (up to 40% less). However, revealing much more than this leads also leads to less contact, although the article doesn’t reveal by how much.

A couple of ...

If I Am Shy, Should I Mention It In My Online Dating Profile?

Posted by:

This is a question shy men often ask due to the dilemma of wanting to be as honest as possible when dating online but, at the same time, not wanting to hurt their chances with women who may reject a man who mentions this trait. I believe the answer to this question really depends on the severity of the shyness. Due to this, I’ll discuss different degrees of shyness and then give my opinion on what should be included in ...

Getting a Professionally Written Online Dating Profile

Posted by:

Writing a profile that stands out is a difficult task for most of us. When asked to describe ourselves, it turns out most of us sound exactly the same. Whether we’re easy-going or fun-loving, whether we love going out or love cuddling up for a movie in, whether we hate playing games or love the outdoors…putting any of this in our profiles make us sound, well, like everyone else. Sounding like everyone else isn’t the worst thing in the world. ...

Funny Dating Profiles

Posted by:

First a warning: this article does not tell you how to create a funny dating profile. It explains why trying too hard to create a funny profile is a bad idea. There are many things that should be a part of your profile (which I cover in my online dating guide) but being funny, especially artificially so, is not one of them. I know this isn’t what most men want to hear, trust me. I ...

Improve Profile Views with your Heading

Posted by:

We all have had to plug in some title on our dating profiles and everyone knows it is more difficult than it looks. I never held a bland profile heading against someone because I went through the same impossible task of summing myself up in one sentence. While I don’t see the profile heading as making or breaking a profile, it can do wonders to direct others to or away from your profile.

This directing people to or from your profile ...

Worth A Thousand Words? How about $150?

Posted by:

Recently, when a friend needed photos for his online dating profile, it was a good opportunity for my wife (who is a professional photographer) to get some portrait shots while helping a friend at the same time. The shoot went well and our friend genuinely liked the photos and had them up on his profile very quickly. A few weeks later, I mentioned that perhaps she could offer this service in addition to her other photography services. Interested to see ...
