Editor’s Comments:
It is all about you. Match.com is the only online dating services I know that hands over 100% freedom to your hands. You have all the control. You may define these super rich features and fine tune it to suit your need easily. No sweats.

But the real appeal of Match.com is in its member’s quality that tends to be college-educated & professionals with most of the members are residents of large cities and its suburbs.

Profile Set Up:
Match.com offers 3 optional profiles:
Basic profile – you can finish it within few minutes. All you have to do is fill your personal information such as your name, age, address, and other personal information

While setting up basic profile will takes you few minutes, setting up physical attraction profile and personality profile may take you about an hour to finish. Although this process is little bit length, I appreciate the effort Match.com make to provide more accurate compatibility match for you. The questions were thought provoking and worth your time.

The physical attraction profile and personality profile make this site apart from other typical dating sites. The physical attraction profile enables you to search by typing exactly physical attributes or personality types.

Within dating profile you have option to share one or both of your profile such as personality and physical attraction. Don’t worry about it; you can change your preference at any time if you change your mind.

Special Features:
Match.com‘s list of special features stand out and greater than any online dating sites reviewed.
1. Keyword Search.
Are you looking for a lady in her twenty who concocts her recipes as gracefully as she dances Chinese kung fu? Or looking for a successful business women who also a green peace activist? Type the keyword and Match.com will search all the profile and return the result that matches your keyword. It’s like having Google search engine handy just for your profile searching.

2. An amazing part comes when you send emails to your prospect profiles, Match.com show you a list of likeable profiles. Hmmm…Why do I feel like I had been there before? If you’d been in Amazon browsing for books, it gives you another list of similar books you just browsed. I feel it is interesting how Match.com giving us more alternatives.

3. Another special feature that drew my attention is Match.com includes video clips and voice greeting to personalize your profile. Fun flirting feature somehow makes me feel addicted to wink and blow tens of kisses to some attractive profiles.

4. Speed Dating

Dislike:
Match.com is perfect as an online dating service site. Match.com’s service covered beyond the basic features and I don’t have any complain to this site except for this site is filled up with too many ads and paid services. You have to dig deeper to your pocket to use it even though you are a paying member.

Do I recommend it?
Yes. I would. I personally like Yahoo.Personal better but I can’t ignore Match.com’s super duper compatibility tool. It’s more powerful than any other online dating sites.

Synovate Surveys: Global finding on Online Dating

A current study released by research firm Synovate on global perception on online dating reveals some interesting findings.

Over 4,000 people surveyed from 8 countries (United States, Brazil, France, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Romania and South Africa) almost 50% said using online dating to find their dream date is a waste of time and the reason for not joining and using online dating was safety issue.

These facts are a lesson for top big dog online dating services. If they want to survive and compete with over 1000 online dating services, they must be able to find solution.

Synovate findings are as below:
49% believe online dating is a great way to meet new people and 48% people believe it is a complete waste of time.

25% believe photo profile is the most important part to initiate contact , 39% focus on your profile essay or description and 32% look for same hobbies or interest

77% people surveyed believe that most people lie in their online dating profile.

33% people refuse to use online dating services pinpoint safety concern as number one reason for avoiding meeting people online.

As to the safety concern, I think True.com is the only online dating that provides and checks criminal background and marital status of their members but unfortunately their services only available to United States.

But I believe other major online dating services would soon follow True.com to protect their members in answering online the safety issue.

TOP TEN BENEFITS TO ONLINE DATING

Read below top ten benefits you should know and have no doubt to start your new love life by subscribing to any online dating services. There is no reason you should be single that long.

1. Easy on your pocket.
Compare to traditional dating scene, for one night dating, you will have to spend your hard earned money for taxi, food, drink, movies, and present. If you are lucky with your lady, you will get laid. If you can’t impress her, gone your money. With the same amount of money you should be able to get at least 4 – 6 months membership at most popular online dating services

2. Convenient.
Online dating services are online 24 hours per day. It means you can log on any time at your most convenient time. We are all busy guys. I don’t know about you. But I don’t want to squeeze another 2 hours time to my schedule searching high and low in local bars just to find one girl if with same 2 hours time spent I could connect with several potential matches in my pajamas, sipping coffee and do not have to worry about my look. It’s really save my time, my energy and less stressful.

3. Faster.
How many times you should meet someone in traditional dating scene before you know she is your potential matches? In online dating all you have to do is perform quick search and pick one, two or more than two at your heart content from thousand potential matches in front of you…sorry, in front of your monitor.

Send flirt to express your interest, IM-her, and send email to her and see the little spark you start could ignite fire. If she interests, you will get respond almost immediately.

4. Safety.
Yes. It is safe. You won’t date a girl from hell who will haunt you back or gold digger who won’t leave you alone, will you? With online dating, you can prevent it.

Most online dating provides service to make you remain anonymous. You don’t have to expose your actual name, address, telephone and other personal information and you even could block a certain members from contacting you.

As to online dating safety, I must say: when something is going wrong use your gut to judge not you DICK!

5. Bigger chance to meet your dream date.

10. Ending online dating is less complicated.

How Important is your look in the eyes of your women

I always wonder how important is my look in the eyes of women who I dated.. Do they consider the physical attraction as the main factor in building a long romantic life? Or does any other factors why women date guys ? And what reasons they marry us?

On my 4 days trip to Bali, I heard an interesting interactive surveys from local radio on the look matter. Although the survey is not supported by scientific proof but I personally found that survey did give us a little clue.

There are several questions asked during that interactive survey to 25 local single females living in Denpasar. I don’t remember exactly how many questions had been asked but I managed to take some notes.

Does it necessary for male to be good looking or handsome ?
25 females answered YES. And I noticed that 21 females also remarked that these male have and MUST be good looking if they were actors, salesman, consultant, insurance broker, doctor, or lawyer. You don’t have to be good looking if you were gardener, plumber, a labor worker. If your job requires you to see many people and your success depends on how well you interact with people, you are absolutely must have a good looking.

If you have to choose, which male will you choose as your spouse: handsome male versus financially secured male.
100% local singles answered financial secured male. Dig deeper into this answer these females reason that good looking husband does not give them a feeling of being loved completely. They felt insecure since the handsome husband will easily find another women and less loyal to them. They preferred financially fit over good looking. Good news for us.

But don’t jump into any conclusion yet. They also stressed out that they prefer dating handsome -John over average-Joe. What does it mean? I don’t understand, really. It’s pity the interviewer did not make them to elaborate this issue.

At the end of the survey they make conclusion of what they called the most ideal husband to be.
1. Decent look husband with stable job yields 45%
2. Not so good-looking husband but with financial wealthy stands 37%
3. Handsome husband picked by 18% females

So what this survey tells us? Women tend to choose financial-healthy husband but prefer to date handsome stud to boost their ego? Hmmm….I can’t answer it. It seems to me that women are really from Venus.

Tips to Pick the best Online Dating Service

Literally there are hundred of online dating services out there and every one of them is claiming to be better than others. They are all striving to help you find your best dates but which one is a genuine winner? It won’t be difficult to decide which dating services will suit your need if you follow below guides.

1. Know what you want.
Most online dating services today are more focus on one or two types of service and this is what you must pay attention to. If you are looking for a serious long term relationship then you may want to try eHarmony.com, Chemistry.com, or PerfectMatch.com.

If you are not sure but will let your relationship to grow to new horizon; the best choice is looking for online dating services that not only focus on casual dating but also provide different or multi-relationship type services like YahooPersonal.com, AmericanSingles.com, or Match.com.

Knowing exactly what you want will save your time, money and prevent you from nasty surprises once you find out that the online dating service you just join does not keep up to your hope.

2. Payment.
Set your budget.You are not only investing your time, it costs you some money too. Decide how often you are going to log-on and use their services. It doesn’t make sense to spend $20-$30/month if you are only log-on to check mail once a week. In this case you may choose Lavalife.com for their payment structure allows you to pay base on any initial communication your make. It will cost you less than monthly subscription.

3. Membership.
You have to choose online dating services with huge membership database. As to the membership database, the more is the better. It will double your chance to find more potential dates.

But be careful, most online dating is reluctant to expose their actual quantity of their membership. To prove their actual quantity, sign in as a free user and do a quick search to see how many prospects turn out in your area. If less than 10% you may suspect they mark it up. Another way to find out is check and see how many members are online at that moment. If they tell you they have 500,000 members and only 100 members are online. It is a sign.

Another thing to consider is paying-member vs. non-paying members ratio. Once again, most online dating services will force you to be their paying-member in order to be able to communicate and use their services. It’s annoying to send several emails to potential dates to find out they could not even read you emails since they are non-paying members.

4. Special Features.
You are not looking for basic features like matchmaking search tool, IM, in-site email service, or flirts. They are so standard. Every online dating service provides it. Instead, look for more special features. For instances, do their offer help in writing successful profile? If they provide comprehensive compatibility test, it’s a big plus. Can you use video / voice messaging to personalize your profile?

5. Privacy Issue.
Check to see if they support a firm policy on your safety and privacy issue. Do they practice spam? If the only thing they care about is your money - then do not even think twice. Cross it from your list. If safety is your consent, you will find True.com answer to your worry.

6. Read Reviews for better reference.
You don’t have to spend hours to find out which online dating service that suit your need. The easiest way is read user’s experience.

Top Ten Profile No - No in Online Dating

TOP 1: Whining

Negative attitude repels faster than lightning especially in internet dating. Stop whining about your ex. You may have experienced a terrible relationship in the past but it’s already a history. Rather than complaining about your unlucky love life, you’d better turn a new leaf.

It’s not fair to her; she is not your scum bag. Don’t throw all your anger and hate on your profile. Doing that will not only chase all your potential dates miles away, you will almost hear she say: NEXT? And bye- bye Mr. Sorrow. She had clicked away and jumped to see other profiles.

TOP 2: Sound Desperate

If you’re a 30 years old virgin, keep it for yourself. Don’t make it sounds that you have to get laid tonight or you will die virgin. If you don’t have a social life, don’t mention it.
You’ll make them believe you are a complete desperate loser.

Highlighted the positives and let the real you shines through your profile and you’ll be one step closer to win her heart

TOP 3: Bragging

Oke, you have 3 mansions, own summer house and drive fancy car. But mention your income, and your entire asset & property doesn’t serve you right. Instead of finding your dream date, you will attract gold diggers and date from hell around you.

TOP 4: Using Jargon

If you are doctor or computer nerd – using technical jargon will create confusion. Not everyone understands what you are talking about. Unless you are looking some in your profession, it’s advisable you use plain English to reach wider prospects.

TOP 5: Lie

Like building house over sand foundation – dishonesty will eventually be caught sooner or later. Telling her you stand 6 foot, weight 140 pounds and single will punch you badly in your face once she finds out that you are actually only 5’5 “ weighing 240 pounds with 3 daughters.

This kind of relationship will never work out. Do yourself a favor telling the truth and you will save your time and stay away from big headache.

TOP 6: No Photo Profile

She likes to talk to real person and see who she is talking to. Posting your profile without photo will send her the wrong message that you must be hiding something. This is confirmed by the fact that profile with photos get10 times more clicks than profiles with no photo.

TOP 7: Incomplete Profile

Incomplete profile not only a turn off to her – it will also make online dating service matching system work less effective. In finding your closest matches – most online dating services using their computerized data that you put when you are creating and setting up your profile. This problem will cause you to receive unfit random matches.

TOP 8: Generic profile

If you create the same old generic profile – your profile will sink and hit bottom between other thousand profiles. It’s the same old boring: Hi, I’m Joe and Jack profile that gone unnoticed. You should be different and stand out in front of the pack

TOP 9: Use swear words and rude

Never ever use it. If you wish to use it --- go and use it at the other place. Don’t use it in your profile, personal ad, conversation or your email contact. It’s generally perceived as rude, offensive and turns her off.

TOP 10: Sexual Innuendo

Your true intention will be frowned upon. Are you looking for one night quick release? You came to the wrong place. Most singles are genuine in seeking partner. Unless you are in adult dating sites – don’t use it.

Top Online Dating Sites - December 2006

I was checking to ComScore yesterday to see what is the online dating trend for year 2007, and how the top dog players in this industry is doing.

Based on the report – the top dating site rankings are relatively unchanged. However, in general, member activity increased. These sites noted about 13% increase in visitors and visits (activity) since the week of December 10, 2006.

Could it be the holiday season that made us in a sentimental mood to be with someone we love? I believe these top players like Yahoo Personal and Match.com will still keep capturing more increase during the season of love – valentine in American.

TOP 10 ranking dating sites in USA
1. YahooPersonal
2. Match
3. True
4. Spark Networks ( American Singles )
5. Mate1
6. Singlesnet
7. eHarmony
8. MSN Dating ( Match )
9. Zencon ( Black People Meet )
10. MarketRange ( Perfect Match )


TOP 10 ranking dating sites in Canada
1. NineMSN ( Lavalife )
2. Plentyoffish
3. Mate1
4. CanoeReseauContact
5. Spark Networks
6. Netclub.fr
7. YahooPersonals
8. Match
9. True
10. Love Happens

Yahoo personal is my big favorite for one reason: very…very user friendly. And for the sole of this reason I agree with Comscore to put YahooPersonal on TOP. But Yahoo Personal was beaten up by Lavalife in Canada. Could it be Lavalife’s payment structure won the hearts of the Canadian?

A Quiz: Are You a Chronic Bachelor?

Dude, take this small test to find out. It's easy. It takes about 5 minutes and all you have to do is answer YES or No. Sum it up and find the answer at the bottom of the test.


TEST 1:
Valentine Day: Yes or No

Before you answer it, read below survey held by social dating website TeamDating.com polling 500 married men and 500 single men ages 24-45 years old on valentine day.

Survey Result of 500 Married Men:
91% said it was their least favorite Holiday of their marriage due to the expectation of topping what they did the previous year.
97% said that they plan what they are going to do the weekend before
94% said that any money spent on this day is a waste of money
72% said they plan on giving a gift certificate
4% said they feel that valentine holiday is even intended for men

Survey Result of 500 Single Men:
99% said valentine day to them it’s just another day
97% said it was their least favorite day
93% ---- ( @#$% )
89% said they could not remember what they did last year
86% said they will go out and try to find single girls that are out as well

I left the 93% result blank on purpose to get your attention and here also comes our test no. 1 : Did you know valentine day always fell on Feb 14 every year?

Your answer is NO? Welcome. You’re felt into the group of most single men on the survey that answered NO and formed 93% of the survey.

TEST 2:
No women No Cry: Yes or No

You don’t have real female relationship. The only female relationship you have with is your mother and your sister. Your female colleague avoids you for whatsoever reason and your male colleague reluctant to talk you about women. Your best friends are too embarrassed to bring up that GIRL issue either.

TEST 3:
Lonely Is the Night: Yes or No

Your daily activities seem to be same day after day and colorless. Your day starts with: waking up late – grab some food – heading to office and hopefully you aren’t late – punch your card – daydreaming during your working hour – lunch break – working – and thank God. It’s already 17.00, time to go home – home at last – grab some stuff to munch – sit in front of your tube – jock off and that ends your day one circle. Next morning the same thing repeats itself.

TEST 4:
Desperado is My Middle Name: Yes or No

You own and talk to your favorite blow-up doll named Jennie. You even think that you’re not worth decent women in your life and jump into any available women introduced to you and even consider putting into a Russian mail-order bride.

TEST 5:
You Live in a Pig Sty: Yes or No

You don’t care about your personal hygiene. Don’t bathe for days. Table manner is history – you don’t even mind using hand to fetch your food without utensils. In company of friends you have no discretion when scratching your crotch (Itchy—scratch—scratch), or adjusting your underpants using both hands deliberately.

You laugh when your body gives out the loudest fart and joke around it shamelessly and you are totally lost your sense of etiquette

TEST 6:
You Know who Peter Noah or Asia Carrera: Yes or No

You are a regular patron to your local sex shop or adult video center since porn flicks has become your primary form entertainment. Every new flicks arrival will trigger you to party involves with bringing out your various collection of lotions, pump, and inflatable toys, vaginas molded from your favorite porn stars, blow job stimulators in form of sleeve or sheath. You are self-proclaimed Porn King.

TEST 7:
You are Gay: Yes or No

YOU are NOT? Come on. I know you’re. No. Yes. No. Yes. There’s nothing to be shame of. Just admit it. You won’t be less macho or less manly neither you won’t transform to a freak. So, are you? J

Oke—let’s cut that bull shit! Here’s the real question. People begin to think you are gay: Yes or No. The long absence of women in your life and there’s no sign you are interested in them may form an idea that you have swung to the other way.

TEST 8:
People begin bringing over their friends / relative all the time: Yes or No

Not only your mother set up an arrangement for you to see your long lost cousin, but almost all people you know seem too eager to be your matchmaker and start bringing over all her best friend or relative. This action should tick you and make you realize that you’ve been single too long.

TEST 9:
Women are hard to understand; Yes or No

Being single too long makes you excessive picky and find faults in every woman for your unfortunate love life. Your awkward and shyness prevent you behave around them.


TEST 10:
You are in your late twenties, 30-something and, yes forties old of age: Yes or No

Hmm….No comments. You know what do.

Now sum up your answers. Each YES answer will yield 1 point and consult below:

1- 3 points
Time to start a new relationship.

4 – 6 points
You’ve been single too long, buddy.

7 – 9 points
You are a real chronic bachelor. Wake up, roll your sleeve up and dump all your sex toys. It’s time to go up and hunt real women

Perfect 10
Those 10 tests above are part of current research done by Dr. Slav itch over 100 single males in connection to dangerous brain stem disease which produces sex hormones. If your score hit perfect 10 then chances you will suffer BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is 72% by the time you reach 40 year of age. Please seek help


Note :
Just kidding. There’s no Dr. Slav itch or brain stem disease. I made it up.
Actually BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is a condition which enlargement of prostate blocks both neck of bladder and urethra. This causes discomfort and difficulty with urination including that it is hard to start and the flow will be obstructed. And BPH usually will affect almost all men by 40 and has nothing to do with your bachelorship.

Cant Find A Date ?

Come on--Wake Up. Smell the coffee. Groom and get yourself a date tonight. There's no reason you can't find a date.

I know get rejected SUCKS! But being single and lonely is worse.
And 'jack-off' can be awfully unsatisfying after awhile.

Let's break some myths’s spell that make you believe you can't find a date and find the fact that hidden behind it.

Here we go:

Myth 1
You must be Brad Pritt's clone in the face and build Jean Claude Van Damme's body, famous and super rich to get your dream date.

Fact:
While being look like Pritt, and rich may obviously draw a large pool of women but you too can have a wonderful date if you know how to treat her. Most women are looking for normal guy with normal job but posses an abnormal passion for them likes you.

Myth 2
Nice gentlemen always get laid

Fact:
Nothing’s wrong with being nice but women certainly are not having sex with you because you are intellectually stimulating. Women are hot because you are fun, romantic, naughty, and dangerous. You are right. It’s not a typo.
I did mean it. Naughty and a little bit dangerous – it excites her.


Myth 3
You are ugly, unattractive and fat like pig

Fact:
Study reveals that the size of your belly and your brain does nothing to do with your ability to find a date. Women are always fascinated and turned on by confidence and wit. No matter what you look like if you can show and demonstrate confidence you will get a hot date.


Myth 4
It’s difficult and time consuming to find a date! You have to search high and low and go to all strange and girly places to find women.

Fact:
In contrary; there are lots of places to start with: your local bookstores, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants or even gym. If you are busy and prefer to stay at home you may consider subscribing to online dating. It’s fun and convenience.

Myth 5
There is no more available women. All good pretty women are already taken.

Fact:
Come on. You must be kidding. Women outnumber us guys. I found 1000 potential dates once I held a trial search on Yahoo personal online dating service. The high number of single women on Yahoo Personal spoke the fact. They beat us black and blue in term of number.

Myth 6
You are too old.

Fact:
It’s absolutely wrong. Look around you. On street we usually may spot forty-something dude holding a teenage girl. Nay… he’s not her father. You just can tell if he is. Your 60 years old uncle just married a 35 years old nanny and he’s not rich. Nasty grandpa flirting with waitress and this bastard is showing it off.

Myth 7
Women are alien creature from planet Venus – we guys can hardly understand them.

Fact:
OK—you got the point there. We guys are soldiers from Mars armed with penis. We are totally different but this difference shall not make you stay away from women.

To understand them, jump and make your feet wet at online dating. Most primary online dating services like yahoo.personal and Match.com provide valuable tips and guide to make you succeed with women.


Myth 8
Women are selfish and difficult to satisfy. They only care about themselves and your money. They are ….

Fact:
Hmm. Stop blaming women over your unfortunate love life. There’s nothing wrong with women. I think you should consult a shrink ; )

Myth 9
Online dating is for desperate freak and loser

Fact:
I could give you more than 10 reasons why you should try online dating services but it’s another story . I can ensure you that you’re missing huge opportunity from a large pool of available women from online dating if you are skipping online dating as one of your method of find women.

Can't find a date? Sure, you can.
