Book Review: The Five Love Languages
Published on November 22, 2009
I approach “self-help” books with a great deal of skepticism. Half the time, these books seem do little more than point out the obvious. Other times they seem to reveal so much but when the advice is applied to the real-world, we have a rude awakening realizing that the “great” advice isn’t easy to apply […]
Keep readingHow To Dress To Attract Men (At a Bar)
Published on November 20, 2009
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 […]
Keep readingDoes Your Dating Profile Photo Say What You Think It Does?
Published on November 19, 2009
A few weeks ago I had mentioned that a study had shown that your appearance in a photo reveals a lot about you. Later I discussed why picking the right photo for your dating profile, even without this study to prove it, is very important. Newsweek covers this same study in far greater detail in […]
Keep readingOnline Dating Photos: Tips to Help Improve Success
Published on November 11, 2009
Recently I was contacted by a reader who requested that I look over her profile because she felt like she wasn’t having an appropriate amount of success. She seemed primarily concerned that she may have written it poorly. Well, I took a look and I thought her text was actually quite good. She described herself […]
Keep readingIf I Am Shy, Should I Mention It In My Online Dating Profile?
Published on November 10, 2009
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 […]
Keep readingWhat Is the Price of eHarmony Subscriptions?
Published on November 7, 2009
How much does it cost to join eHarmony? eHarmony’s subscription pricing and cost are listed below with promotional codes (coupons) you can use below that. eHarmony is reluctant to give out this information until you’re an official member…and since becoming a member involves a very long personality profile test, I wanted to list them here. […]
Keep readingGetting a Professionally Written Online Dating Profile
Published on November 5, 2009
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 […]

Published on November 3, 2009
What Can You Tell From a Dating Profile Photo? Single Parent Gossip has an interesting article that discusses how we can detect personality traits just by viewing a picture of someone. The implication here is that if you’ve ever looked at a person’s online dating photos and suspected you would (or wouldn’t!) get along with […]

Published on October 31, 2009
A quick note on these ideas: as I cover in my dating guide, the first date should be used to get to know each other better so there should be as little distraction as possible. Many of the suggested dates below would not make a good first date in most situations. Find a Great Restaurant […]
Keep readingThe Worst Dating Site In The World
Published on October 26, 2009
While researching other dating sites, I stumbled upon PoorMatch.com. At first glance I thought I must be reading something wrong…but then I realized it was a big online dating parody. A really, really funny parody at that (we’re talking The Onion kind of funny). If you’re frustrated due to online dating, check out Poor Match […]
Keep readingChemistry.com Is Looking For A Few Good Men
Published on October 25, 2009
Apparently Chemistry.com has been running promotions to increase the number of women using their site. I would assume this is because the ratio of women to men using the dating service needed improved. Well, it looks as if they were a little too successful. Now they have a much higher female to male ratio and […]
Keep reading10 Dating Profile Headings for Software Engineers
Published on October 24, 2009
I’ve been thinking about doing some online dating profile heading testing (that’s a mouthful!). I’m hoping to share the results here as I currently have a theory that weird or hard to understand headings may work as well as any other. At any rate, while thinking of a good profile heading to test out I […]
