Why You Should be Picky When Dating Online

Posted by:

You’re being too picky.

Those are words that well-meaning friends have said to one another for thousands of years. And for thousands of years it was often reasonable advice. But today, with availability of online dating, it’s quite possible that you’re not being picky enough.

I’m prompted to write this because of a video I saw by a woman named Amy Webb. Amy used data to improve her online dating life and she’s now written a book called Data, A ...

My Online Dating Success Story, Continued

Posted by:

Posted by:

I was reviewing some of my old articles from when I first started this site back in 2007 and decided to bring up some of the “forgotten” articles.

In this case I wanted to talk about a belief that many people hold true that can hurt their online dating experience: limiting themselves to dating a single person at a time.

Why Do Men Ignore What I Require in My Dating Profile?

Posted by:

Why do men ignore what a woman lists as her requirements for the men in her online dating profile? The woman doesn’t even need to have an unreasonable list of things she’s looking for.

Simple things such as required religion or height or age are often ignored entirely by some of the contacting men.

You say you’re looking for a 20-something college ...
