Dating profiles, what they say and what they mean

People write all kinds of things in their profiles because it's what they think others want to hear. (Keyword: think) Let's take a look at 7 of these generic lines and then define what they actually mean.

1. What you say: I'm just as comfortable in a little black dress (or tux) as I am in jeans and a T-shirt.

What you're trying to say: I can be ready for any occasion so you don't think I can't be your date to something important to you.

What we know you really mean: Honestly, I'd rather be in my oversized sweatpants on the couch most nights (hello, this is 2020 standard attire anyway), but I don't want you to think I'm a loser, so I'll tell you I'm just as comfortable in a tux. The reality? I don't think I've ever worn a tux, and if I have, I definitely didn't tie my own bow tie.

2. What you say: I love to laugh and have fun.

What you're trying to say: I'm easy-going, light-hearted, and I won't bring drama to the relationship.

What we know you really mean: I want you to think I'm normal and don't freak out when I'm losing my “Bachelor” pool or cry when I burn my toast every other third morning.

3. What you say: I'm not looking for a hookup.

What you're trying to say: I want you to know I'm looking for something serious.

What we know you really mean: I got burned in the past many, many times. I'd actually be up for a casual relationship if we're not the right fit for the long term, but I know that's not what you want to hear, so I'll go in the complete other direction…

Top 6 tips to improve your online dating game

 

So you decided to sign up to a dating platform after friends suggested this would be good for your love life? Since these outlets offer a convenient and often free registration procedure, surely it’s just a case of uploading your details and waiting for your inbox to be bombarded with messages? Actually, no. Nothing in life is ever that straightforward. Whether you’ve just joined Cupid dating site or have been into virtual matchmaking for a while, there are always ways to improve your dating game.

Make your biography compelling

What you need to keep in mind is how popular online dating has become. After taking out a membership you’ll find yourself in a highly competitive marketplace. You might find yourself drawn towards a particular site user, but any number of other singles will also be interested. Ensure your biography stands out. Don’t just list things – this isn’t a CV. Emphasise the exciting hobbies you have. Outline your character strengths. Instead of glib comments like ‘I’m a fun person,’ expand on your description. ‘I’m a fun person because I love sponsored abseiling.’

Ensure your profile photos stand out

The first thing anyone browsing your details will notice is your profile image. Don’t just upload a selfie. A degree of professionalism is required at this stage. You should always be smiling or alluring, and avoid distractions in the background. It would be preferable if this image was taken with a decent camera and of HD quality…

In online dating, don’t be the lazy guy

In online dating, I often see two competing factors:

1. People genuinely want to meet someone great (or at least they think they do).

2. People are lazy and don't take the time to do online dating well or at all.

This conversation happened to a client of mine (the woman in this exchange) yesterday on Bumble:

Her: Do you still drink iced coffee in the winter? (Note: His profile mentioned his love of iced coffee.)

Him: I do!

Her: I like the dedication! Any other anomalies I should know?

Him: I have an irrational hatred for odd numbers.

Her: Really? But your age is an odd number. Are you so excited to turn 40 then?

Him: I am!

Her: Is it coming up?

Him: Exactly 90 days March 21st.

Her: 90 days even!

Him: You're catching on.

Her: I'm a fast learner.

Him: I like that. You also happen to be very pretty.

Her: Thanks

Him: My pleasure.

Let's assess what happened here. She used his “message bait” mention of iced coffee to start a conversation. (Good job!) He answered but did not ask her a question back. She prodded again with a question. He answered but did not ask her a question back. Again, she asked a question. He answered but did not ask her a question back. Notice a trend? This person is not engaging in the conversation. He is simply answering questions but not trying to get to know her in return. Her profile has plenty of information in it (I should know I wrote it!), so all he had to do was read it and ask something relevant.

At this point, the conversation is over. There is…

Can AI Find You the Love of Your Life?

Well, outsourcing everything to technology is the thing these days and the Japanese government, faced with a steeply declining birthrate, is giving AI matchmaking a try:

Around half of the nation’s 47 prefectures offer matchmaking services and some of them have already introduced AI systems, according to the Cabinet Office.

The human-run matchmaking services often use standardized forms to list people’s interests and hobbies, and AI systems can perform more advanced analysis of this data.

“We are especially planning to offer subsidies to local governments operating or starting up matchmaking projects that use AI,” the official said.

AFP-JIJI, “We have a match! Japan taps AI to boost birth rate slump” at Japan Times (December 7, 2020)

Declining birthrate? Japan Times reports that “The number of children born last year was around 40 percent of the level in the mid-1970s, when Japan last had a fertility rate above 2.0, which is required to sustain the population. While the fertility rate inched up after hitting a low of 1.26 in 2005, it fell again from 2016 to 2018.” (June 4, 2020)

A birth rate that low means few young people are around to develop new ideas and support retiring seniors.

Singularity Hub, home of all things Singularity, thinks AI matchmaking is a great idea:

Several dating apps already use AI. OKCupid uses machine learning both to “connect people” and as a “community improvement tool.” Tinder uses AI to verify user…

Woman Explains Why You’re Doing Tinder All Wrong

Online dating can be divisive at best and a tricky minefield at worst, and that’s once you’ve managed to secure yourself a date. For some, attracting matches and engaging in some light-hearted conversation is but a pipe dream, and their bio could be to blame.

Your dating profile, inclusive of bio, is the only thing you can rely upon to sell yourself to potential suitors, and if you don’t make an immediate impression on women swiping their way through – sometimes surrounded by opinionated friends – then you can consider yourself confined to constant rejection.

But what exactly is it that you’re doing wrong? After all, you may feel your bio is perfect and sells you in the most accurate way. According to this Reddit thread, that may not necessarily be the case. Reddit user ‘inspowoah’ claims to come across “too many guys, attractive or not, with awful photos and/or equally bad bios.”

“I’m not saying my bio is the best or that my pictures are either. But at least you can see my face, and tell the profile belongs to me.”

“I totally understand if you don’t have many pictures, i only started taking pictures of my self recently, but it’s not hard to fix your hair, put on a smile, find some good lighting and finally take a photo.”

But even with your photos fixed and with no reference to your 2015 lads trip to Bali, what you write in your bio can also have a profound effect on whether you win a right swipe or not, at least, according to…

Are Modern People Actually Finding Love on Dating Sites?

The statistics regarding the increasing numbers of people using dating sites to find love are difficult to ignore. After all, it’s said that a third of all adults in Europe used dating sites to meet someone last year. Combined with the challenges of 2020, and it’s easy to see why that number might increase. But are people really finding love online? Here are some things that you should consider when looking for answers to this question.

A fast-changing world requires proven modern solutions

According to studies, people are spending more time at work, in commutes, and doing chores at home than ever before. Even college students are taking full-time jobs to help pay their way through what is supposed to be a fun time of their lives. Thus, there is less time to go around for all their interests. As a result, people have a fast-paced life and need a way to find love that can maintain the same pace as them. That’s the primary reason that people use online dating services – they’re fast and fit into your life any way that the user desires. People can easily find dates with an hour or two of searching and messaging. The ability to seek out the perfect partner online is amazing because it helps people that would otherwise have no chance to find romance. All in all, online dating services are a modern solution to a modern problem.

The dating site algorithm understands people even if you don’t

Another thing about online dating is that they are always on the cutting edge…

Does social media affect dating and relationships?

Social media has always been negative and positive on dating and relationships right from its inception. Have you ever been together with your partner while both of you aren’t making any verbal communication but busy on phones? It may probably be your daily routine for some hours. Are you the type who prefers to check your social media accounts to checking how your woman is faring? As of today, one-on-one interaction is becoming less important as couples have been attached to social media. If you prefer to send texts to your partner than having a one-on-one conversation or through calls, you should find out the positive and negative sides of social media on your relationship below. As myblackpartners users say, while some platforms can offer helpful resources, they can also lead to jealousy, mental health issues, and unrealistic expectations in relationships, so you should be very careful choosing an online dating site.

Study reveals this pick-up line will score you a date

A study carried out by the Canadian dating site Plenty of Fish has revealed which pick-up lines work the best in online dating. Check out the video to find out more!

Making the first move on a dating app or dating site is always a bit of a headache, whether you're on Tinder, Grindr or even Facebook Dating. Should you start with a compliment about their body? Try to find things you both have in common? Or foolishly choose the simple and traditional ‘Hi, how are you?’

That’s what the Canadian dating site Plenty of Fish wanted to find out with a survey they carried out with 1,100 former and now married members of the site, who met their other halves online.

Which pick-up line would you go for in online dating?

The first surprising observation from this study was that 39.63% of the women involved said that they were the ones who had made the first move, thus pushing the boat out about the classic misconceptions surrounding seduction techniques. But when it was the men who had initiated the conversation, they were rarely original.

So, the strategy that seemed to work the best according to the results of this study, that was picked up by Men’s Health, was to make a remark about a specific detail from the other person’s profile in order to spark interest. A technique which worked for 16.59% of the people in the survey.

Just behind this was the traditional ‘Hi, how are you?’ which against all odds, led 14.75% of participants to the aisle. Then came personal questions…

How to create an online dating profile that attracts 93% more matches

Dating has changed a lot since the outbreak of coronavirus, moving a lot more online than ever before. Psychologist Dr Amantha Imber explains how to increase your likelihood of finding success on dating apps through certain profile tweaks.

Single people have never been more reliant on online dating than they are now. Thanks to COVID-19, the days of walking into a crowded bar and easily meeting people seems like an eternity ago.

Wearing a mask and keeping 1.5m apart in potential meeting places doesn’t quite have the same appeal.

While creating an online dating profile that leads to more matches may seem like it just comes down to what you look like, there are several strategies you can use to boost your chances of finding a great partner.

Include at least three photos in your profile

According to Lucille McCart, the country lead for Bumble in Australia, users that have three to six photos get 93 percent more matches.

McCart explained on the How To Date podcast, “If you've just got your two best photos on there, even if you look absolutely fantastic, you're still not going to get as many matches because people are really looking to see a variation of different things.”

Selecting photos that show you doing things that you love is a great way to get variety.

Be deliberate with the photos you choose

In addition to having a range of photos, selecting the optimal ones matters a…

How to Protect Yourself When Dating in 2021

In 2021, it’s possible to find anyone online.This fact has transformed the landscape of dating in many ways. On the one hand, the risks have increased. On the other, there are more and more ways we can protect ourselves.

A full background check is time-consuming, costly, and unnecessary. If all you’re trying to do is confirm the information a potential partner has given, there are far less expensive and simpler ways to do so. We outline the steps to take in this article.

Search Google

This is the obvious first step. When someone wants to learn more about a person online, they’ll predictably turn to search engine no. 1. However, a simple search of the subject’s name will retrieve basic information that you already know, like their social media, 90% of the time. You’ll be clicking through results endlessly if you’re looking for a person with a common name. You need to add more than a name to your search. Start with a full name surrounded by quotation marks, e.g., “Theodor Duncan” and additional phrases like university, school, crimes, boyfriend, girlfriend, divorce, or debt. Ask for their email or phone number and add it to the search.

Be Realistic

We know, easier said than done. After all, we know how disappointing online dating can be. You might meet someone on the rebound, who is overly focused on appearance, or who has gone online only because a family member or friend encouraged them to. It might be the case this person isn’t emotionally ready…

5 Ways To Make A Long Distance Relationship Last If You Meet Online

Long-Distance Relationship Is Hard Work

Long-distance relationships come with their own unique set of challenges. There are many uncertainties involved you’ll often find yourself questioning, is the relationship worth it? Would it be better to date a random person in real life? What if it is a scam? What if the relationship isn’t what I’ve hoped for? Doubting the relationship and its integrity is something that will only damage the fragileness of your young couple.

Be Honest and Be Yourself

Everything that needs to last long requires trust and honesty. Both things go hand-in-hand you can’t expect only to give or take; it’s the same with business deals. Mutual understanding leads to long-lasting partnerships. The same is the case with long-distance relationships. Without being honest and open, there are little honeyed words can do to help with it.

Improve Your Communication Skills

Communicate more; long-distance relationships are fueled based on interactions. There is no other way of knowing or understanding your partner since there are no face-to-face interactions, nor are you a part of their day. This is why it is important to regularly ask questions like, “how was your day? Did you eat today?”.Simple good morning and good night messages can make an enormous difference as well.

Eight dating trends you can expect in 2021

socializing photoBlue-stalling: When two people are dating and acting like a couple, but one person in the partnership states they're unready for any sort of label or commitment (despite acting in a different manner).

Breadcrumbing: Leaving ‘breadcrumbs’ of interest – random noncommittal messages and notifications that seem to lead on forever, but don’t actually end up taking you anywhere worthwhile Breadcrumbing is all about piquing someone’s interest without the payoff of a date or a relationship.

Caspering: Being a friendly ghost – meaning yes, you ghost, but you offer an explanation beforehand. Caspering is all about being a nice human being with common decency. A novel idea.

Catfish: Someone who uses a fake identity to lure dates online.

Clearing: Clearing season happens in January. It’s when we’re so miserable thanks to Christmas being over, the cold weather, and general seasonal dreariness, that we will hook up with anyone just so we don’t feel completely unattractive. You might bang an ex, or give that creepy guy who you don’t really fancy a chance, or put up with truly awful sex just so you can feel human touch. It’s a tough time. Stay strong.

Cloutlighting: Cloutlighting is the combo of gaslighting and chasing social media clout. Someone will bait the person they’re dating on camera with the intention of getting them upset or angry, or making them look stupid, then share the video for everyone to laugh at.

Cockfishing: Also known as catcocking. When…

Why Does Finding True Love Seem So Difficult?

We come into this world with a predisposition to love and be loved. But then, why is finding true love so difficult when we're adults?

Do we lose our understanding of love along the way? Do the experiences of life gradually jade us to the possibility of authentic love?

Finding true love and a committed relationship that can stand tests of time is rare.

A lasting loving relationship must be grounded in respect, compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, fidelity, and safety. These are sustaining qualities of relationships, but rarely are we taught to look for them.

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6o7JIPUo1Y[/embed]

So, why does finding love seem so difficult?

We are taught, in general, to look for the superficial and fleeting qualities that foster attraction: Good looks, sex, money, and our desired lifestyle.

How can a person seek and find true love when the roadmap leads to these unsustainable quests?

Perhaps, the question isn’t so much, “Why is finding true love so difficult?” but, “Am I really seeking true love?”

If you're setting off on a road trip, it makes sense that you have a destination in mind. Even if you’re open to wandering a bit and taking in unexpected points of interest, your journey is dictated by your intended destination.

And so it is with the journey to love.

What is your definition of true love?

You can’t go looking for something that you wouldn’t recognize if it were…

Digital dating – how to find a lasting relationship online

How do you form a lasting connection through virtual dating?

“One thing that ends many potential connections before they’ve barely had a chance to get off the ground is a lack of eye contact via video. Digi-daters report that holding an electrically charged gaze is one of the best ways to gauge whether there’s chemistry during a call, yet so many people trip up here: they end up self-consciously checking themselves out on screen instead of their possible partner, anxiously spying on how their hair or face looks. It’s definitely worth practicing how best to use your “windows to the soul” while you’re using Windows! According to body language expert Adrianne Carter, nine seconds is the optimum time to hold sultry eye contact, before it becomes a staring competition!

“If you find someone who you have the hots for, don’t feel you have to play it too cool with them: a third of people say they find it really encouraging if a cyber date suggests another rendezvous before the current date has finished, and that it gives a good impression that their match isn’t afraid of lasting, loving connections. Taking the reins to arrange a date and time, and suggesting innovative themes or ideas like a virtual cocktail-making class, cooking in tandem or playing an online game all help let someone know you see them as “potentially something that could last” rather than “this is the last time you’ll hear from me!”.

10 Best Dating Sites & Apps in 2021 For People Over 40

professional couple photoWith so many different platforms to choose from, finding the best dating sites for over 40 singles is just as difficult as dating itself.

As you enter this stage in your life, it’s no longer safe to assume everyone you meet is single and looking for love. That’s why online dating can be the safest way to avoid any awkward encounters when you make a move on someone who’s happily married with children.

Whether you’re newly single or just looking to revamp for dating life, dating sites and apps have something for everyone.

Why is dating so hard in your 40s?

For people over 40, finding love or even finding a date can feel like walking through a maze blindfolded. Dating in your 40s is hard because, by this age, your life is more settled, and you have a routine and a lifestyle that you’re used to.

Doing new things in your 40s doesn’t come as easily as it did in your younger years. Dating can feel like a chore, and sometimes it seems like there’s no good singles left.

But that’s not true! You are a good single and there’s plenty more like you out there if you just know where to look. (Spoiler alert: we’re going to let you know where to look.)

Plus, you’re at an age where you know who you are, you’ve made all the mistakes in love in your 20s and 30s, and now you’re ready for and capable of a more meaningful connection than ever…

The Online Dating Survival Guide for 2021

Your on-again, off-again relationship has finally become permanently just a memory. And now that you’ve become accustomed to having dates on the weekend, you find yourself with no dates, no prospects and very little to do. Hanging with friends doesn’t sound too exciting, and you’re just not into the bar or singles scene. So, what should you do?

Your friends are encouraging you to try online dating, but you haven’t done it before and you’re just not sure how to go about it. Well, there are a lot of reasons people try online dating, and if you’re currently not attached to someone, it’s the perfect time to try. If you’re new to online dating, there are some things you should know – and some things to watch out for as you begin your journey.

Without realising it, people tell you a lot about themselves without even saying a word. It’s how they text or email, and what topics they bring up. For example, if you’re on a dating site or app and someone starts talking about sex, that’s a signal to say “adios” and move on to someone else. It’s just not appropriate to bring this up before you even meet, and if that’s what they’re looking for, have them look somewhere else.

The Advantages of Online Dating

Many dating sites have rating or scoring systems to see if you’re a match with someone. This is a good thing, and when you use one of these sites, you get to be choosy! Make sure you share common interests with the person and use the site’s scoring…

‘Playlisting’ is the COVID dating trend you need to know about

We’ve all heard of ‘ghosting’, ‘breadcrumbing’ and ‘cuffing’ but there’s a new pandemic dating trend around that singletons should probably know about.

While people are readjusting to meeting people online during the coronavirus pandemic, you may be finding it difficult to form any sort of meaningful connections with another person.

And with trends like ‘playlisting’ around, it’s no wonder.

Playlisting refers to a person who schedules multiple video dates for the same night, according to EliteSingles, who conducted a study of 1,090 singletons to find out about their dating habits amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study found that 11% of those singletons were actually aware of being playlisted while 31% said they have or would playlist a date.

While many people had never had an online date in their lives before, 48% now say they’d be up for jumping online for a virtual meetup.

Interestingly, it also asked singletons what they expect when they meet up for someone for a date.While it’s not clear in which country the study took place, 58% said they would flat-out refuse to date someone who didn’t wear a mask while 63% said they insist on wearing a mask on all dates. Lindsey Metselaar, dating expert and host of the We Met at Acme podcast, previously spoke with Yahoo Lifestyle about how to best navigate the dating game during social distancing and self-isolation.

Dating Site Takes On Social Media Dangers Of ‘Maskfishing’

The age of Coronavirus gave birth to more than just sickness, panic and lockdowns. The realities of dealing with Covid-19 presented scammers and cons new ways to plague innocent people.

Mask mandates aimed at keeping us all from spitting viruses all over each other hide our faces from each other. Those criminals and liars are now using those tools of both doctor sand bandits to hide their real identities and commit the new deception called “maskfishing.”

It’s the latest ugly dating trend, joining the likes of “ghosting” — similar to catfishing or the act of pretending to be someone else to manipulate of dupe a would-he romantic partner. The idea of maskfishing hides the originators face in an effort to trick someone into accepting a date or other romantic proposition. Its perpetrators look to pervert the medical practice of wearing protective face gear into a way of manipulating strangers.

To keep the individuals from pitching a masked face to the social media world, one online dating service is outlawing profile photos with masks to make sure users know what each other looks like. The app and dating program, AdultFriendFinder – the self-proclaimed “largest adult camming and casual dating site with over 100 million registered users worldwide” — put in placer…

Getting what you want from dating apps without overinvesting

Question: With COVID I find myself relying on dating apps more and more.

I'm serious about finding a relationship and make a lot of effort with matches, but don't find I get the same effort in return. Can you help?

Answer: Dear reader, you echo the voices of many folk who talk to me. They are putting themselves out there on dating apps and finding it difficult to meet people who are also looking for something serious.

COVID has definitely driven more people online — and given so many folk are now using dating apps, the way they are being used is also changing.

It was once a place for folk who were seriously looking for relationships, and it was also very stigmatised.

The apps are now ubiquitous and the stigma has fallen away.

As the user population swells (as with any online community) it can become a victim of its own success.

The quality of the pool is watered down as there are people who are looking for distraction, looking for validation, some ‘harmless' flirting, or simply sex or friends with benefits.

There is nothing wrong with any of this, it just makes the process of finding people looking for serious relationships a little trickier as there is more to wade through.

Hold lightly

The first thing I would recommend is to hold lightly. So many people grab onto contacts and want to start…

Educated Singles are seeking new exclusive online communities after COVID-19

COVID-19 has closed down social life as we knew it in many parts of the world. Educated Singles who traditionally work a lot want to spend their free time with like-minded individuals.

Swiping through thousands of photos in the search for the next date appeal to many people but not the well-educated singles. They are far more demanding.

The thrive for authenticity, quality and exclusiveness has led to a surge in members in The Educated Singles Club, which is very different from a tradition dating site. For many members of The Educated Singles Club finding a date is not the first priority. Instead, it can be finding other singles with common interests, views on life or similar profession or education. That unique approach opens the opportunity to become attracted to another person both intellectually and emotionally and not just physically but looking at a photo. Furthermore, the members have all the time they…

The One Thing Your Date Is Lowering Their Standards on This Year

At the onset of the pandemic, it seemed certain that quarantine would shift the way people date. In the early months, a rush of people joined dating apps and began taking part in virtual dates in lieu of meeting at a bar and grabbing drinks. But it's not just logistics that have changed—it's also priorities. Data from Match's Oct. 2020 annual survey found that many singles have new ideas about what's important in a potential partner. Most significantly, the study found that almost half of daters said that physical attraction is less important to them now than it was pre-pandemic. Read on to find out what's behind the shift, and if you need help on the apps, learn The One Word You Should Never Include in Your Online Dating Profile.

When seeking a partner for the end of the world, it makes sense that your priorities might evolve. According to the survey, about 45 percent of respondents said they are putting less emphasis on physical attraction than they were prior to the pandemic. Perhaps this is because more than half of participants (52 percent) said the pandemic prompted them to re-evaluate the things they had down as “musts” on their dating checklist. This led many users to be more open to different types of partners when scrolling through dating apps.

And more people than ever are looking for love, with 53 percent of respondents saying they got more serious about their search for a partner during the pandemic. That alone could have led many users to look past a…

5 Tips for using online dating to find a Catholic spouse

Are you hoping to find a spouse online? Don’t worry if you are — I’m not judging you. The internet is a powerful tool. Why not use it for something that matters? Finding someone to help you get to heaven through the sacrament of marriage is definitely something that matters. But, as with any tool, if you aren’t using it well, you may end up more frustrated and less married than when you started. So while you send messages and emojis and swipe left and right, here are some tips to keep in mind while looking for a Catholic spouse online. 

1 Meet up quickly

Don’t message for too long before meeting someone online in person. It is easy to build someone up in your head and create a false impression of them from messages or texts. If you are far away from each other, at least video chat as soon as possible to see what he or she is like as close to in person as you can get. You need to put the face and the hand gestures and the nervous tics to the name. The more you can get a sense of him or her in different situations, the better. 

2 Be upfront about your faith and morals

If you use a general dating app (one that’s not specifically Catholic), make it clear on your profile that your faith, and the morals coming from your faith, are important to you. For starters, it will save you from some dead end dates. And the more obvious it is that you are serious about what you believe, the higher your chances are of finding someone compatible. 

3 Do more work than…

o “If you would like to talk about your problems, then please feel free to do so.” – This is another pick-up line you can use right away. What most guys think is a pretty easy question is, “do you ever have any questions that you need to ask me?”

o “It doesn't matter what you look like” – Now, this is one of the most powerful words you can use in an online conversation, especially in a dating situation. If you're dealing with someone who is insecure, then you can give them a quick pick-up line such as, “I don't care what you look like, I just want to be with the most beautiful woman on the planet.”

So there you have it, five online dating pick up lines you can use today. Now you have a head start on finding the girl of your dreams and you'll have a great chance at getting her in no time at all!!

Don't be afraid to say, “I have to get to work,” even if you have to leave for a few hours. It's OK! It's a good sign to let your man know you're busy, but you still have to get work done.

Reasons Why Men Leave Beloved Partners

As a rule, a woman sincerely does not understand why a man found another one which is not even better than her. Of course, it’s hard to understand all this. But, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” And that’s for sure. Staying together is not an indicator of love, and leaving doesn’t mean the absence of feelings. It is impossible to love a person without loving yourself. Love for a man begins with self-love. When men feel that the woman is strong and independent, they will never leave her.

● Can You Love Another One Without Loving Yourself?

Each of us is born on earth with our needs. And the main ones are safety and love. Over time, additional ones are formed: a sense of self-significance, a need for a family, a manifestation of oneself and one’s abilities, respect, and recognition in the society. The main problem for most of us is that our basic needs were not met in childhood. Therefore, you go into European online dating to fill the “childhood deficit” and, of course, you expect from a partner — love, care, a sense of your significance, and value for them.

A woman will not be able to fall in love with a man if she is insecure. She will use him to satisfy her own needs if her unconscious mind is still dissatisfied with the amount of attention and love she got from her parents in early childhood. In such circumstances, a man becomes a tool for her moral

satisfaction. For women and men, true love is equally vital. Unfortunately, most people…

An Introvert’s Guide To Online Dating

14 years ago, when I was just a high school student, I first learnt what a crush means.

Feeling giddy at their presence, wanting to be near them, longing to talk to them, blushing and smiling at the mere thinking of them, were some of the nice moments indeed.

However, 2 years passed and I never could gather courage to confess to my crush, just because I was too scared and super introverted.

3 years after high school I found out what online dating is, and since texting was always easier for me than talking in real life, I found this method of initial dating to be quite easier.

I have been in and out of different dating apps for different lengths. The last time I installed Tinder was 2 years ago, where within 4 days, I found my current partner. So, I guess, from a shy introverted kid who couldn’t confess to their childhood crush, I have gained enough experience in Online dating to quickly find a good partner and to guide other introverts like me on what to do.

Anyways while all of this depend on you being at the right place at the right time, this guide will help you to be there to find the right person as well.

I remember how I was trying to make up my mind to install a dating app. I was not sure if that was the correct thing to do. “Am I going to get in trouble, am I going to get scammed, or am I doing an indecent thing?” I thought.

In reality, as long as you are over 18 and/or…

How To Protect Yourself On Dating Apps

“Unfortunately, people have to be a little bit more guarded and cautious in general when looking to dive into the online dating world,” Lysn psychologist Nancy Sokarno tells marie claire. Below, she shares the dangers that come with online dating, and how to properly protect yourself.

Things To Consider Before Online Dating

Personal Protection: “Online dating can sometimes create a virtual world where it might seem as though you know someone well, when in actual fact you may only be getting to know a curated version of a person,” says Sokarno. “Don’t ever rush to meet a person in real life, until you are sure you know who they are.”

Catfishing; Catfishing refers to a type of online fraud where a cybercriminal creates a false identity for the purpose of stealing from or exploiting the victim. “The persona you have met online could be a complete fabrication, be wary with details,” says Sokarno. “If something feels wrong about it, flag your concerns.”

Privacy: When it comes to information you choose to share via dating apps, consider whether you are sharing your details too quickly. “Think twice before sharing your full name, address details, images of yourself and never ever give out financial or banking details,”…

10 Tips for Finding the Perfect Love

Finding the perfect love is important not only for a happy life but also for a healthy life so, it’s worth spending time and energy doing so.

Here are 10 tips for finding the perfect love:

1. Meet a lot of available single people. Some people are lucky to find the right mate in school (high school sweetheart) or in college but if you haven’t found the right mate by the time you graduate, what do you do?

The answer is to meet as many single potential mates as possible:

When the coronavirus pandemic is over, go to dances for single people and sign up for activities that you like.  In the meantime, join online dating services.  Michael Rosenfeld from the department of Sociology at Stanford University and colleagues show that “meeting online has become the most popular way couples meet, eclipsing meeting through friends”.

Online dating can allow you to discover a variety of people, most of whom you would never have met otherwise and the more people you meet the higher your chances are that you will find the right person for you.

Unfortunately, studies show that people on the internet can misrepresent themselves.  To uncover the fake, ask to meet in person very rapidly in a safe public place.  If the person refuses or postpones the meeting several times, the person is probably not what he or she claims to be.

When you finally meet the person, pay attention to what your body is feeling: Are you right away feeling at ease and attracted to the person (best…

Short King Dating Aims to Connect Smaller Guys With People Who Appreciate Their Height

One of the worst-kept secrets of the online dating world is that people are more superficial online than they are in real life, and many, many shorter men have been promptly nexted when the dreaded topic of height comes up. What's a guy to do when passed off for something he has no control over?

After suffering years of rampant heightism, along with the insecurity and heartbreak that comes with it, shorter guys finally have a safe place to date: Short King Dating.

Short King Dating is brought to us by the same people behind the clothing company Ash & Erie, whose mission is to make clothes that flatter and complement the look of shorter men, and they've taken that same energy into dating, a sphere where the most flagrant anti-short sentiment thrives.

As co-founder Steven Mazur put it, “We want to make sure that shorter guys know that they do deserve the confidence that everybody else has. They deserve to be super confident in who they are, regardless of height, regardless of anything else that's really out of their control.”

The app works by being upfront about its intentions, noting that only men (sorry, short kings!) 5'8 and under are allowed on the app, as well as the people specifically seeking a shorter partner. No more height requirements, no more April Fool's jokes about height verification, and no more being ghosted the minute your match…

Why ‘slow-dating’ has women more interested in making connections

Forced to engage with their Bumble matches from a distance, people are finding creative ways to connect during the challenging times of a pandemic, taking their time to get to know each other better.

For Udita Pal, a 24-year old entrepreneur and dog mom from Bengaluru, dating during the lockdown has been surprisingly smooth. Amidst the gloom and doom of the pandemic, her matches have found delightfully creative ways to connect with her. “One Bumble match sent me paints and art supplies. We made art and then had it delivered to each other!” she says.

But the real change in dating atmosphere, more than creativity, is in conversations. With the lockdown confining people to their homes for months, Indian women have found that conversations with their online dating matches have really flowed. “We are having long conversations and deep diving into hobbies, taking our time to get to know each other better,” Udita went on to say.

Several women echo this sentiment, finding that their dating prospects – who were usually trigger-happy in pushing to meet up in person as soon as they matched – became a lot more invested in getting to know them without actually meeting. For some women, this “slow-dating” felt safer. For others, it cut out the awkwardness of going on a first date before really knowing someone.

Amrutha, a 38-year old recently-separated banking professional from Chennai, explains that though lockdown dating hasn’t really changed all…

Online daters take just 30 seconds to decide on connection

With virtual dating up by 36% during lockdown, it’s no surprise that single people are becoming more and more adept at spotting romantic potential via video call.

Digital daters can tell if there’s a spark after just 30 seconds, according to a new poll, which may be bad news if you’re somebody who people take a while to warm to.

People are embracing the “new dating normal” too, with six in ten people saying they’re enjoying chatting with people over video, according to research from Virgin Media.

One in four will continue to keep up virtual dating even after lockdown fully ends, to screen out non-starters in the search for romance.

It’s not just that initial connection that has been intensified by the coronavirus lockdown, either.

The average time spent on an online date is 60 minutes, compared to 86 minutes for an in-person date.

It’s cheaper too, as daters will save an average of £18 per date by opting to meet people online – and if you factor in travel, it probably equates to quite a lot more.

If you are somebody who takes a while to warm up in social situations, relationship expert, Alix Fox, has some tips to boost your confidence when online dating.

“While it can be hard to get yourself ready for a date in the same place that you’ve been working from home all day, showing your real-life surroundings on a video call gives a…

Does Online Dating Really Suck?

The question, Does online dating sucks? has been a hot topic ever since the Internet became a popular means of finding mates in the modern world. So is it true that online dating is a waste of time and money, or will it be one of your best investments?

Online dating is based on a concept which is basically that two or more people get together in a public place like a coffee shop or bar and then contact each other using various methods such as email, instant messaging, instant messenger, or phone calls. This is an extremely effective way of meeting a great partner in the real world, but some people question whether it is good for them personally. Some think that it could take forever before you can find someone to date. Is it really worth it when you can just go to bars and cafes and get the same results?

Online dating allows people to meet with their partners in public places without actually meeting them physically. This is the main reason why it has become so popular since it's free and it works very well. There are many reasons why people start looking for good partners online. Some may be looking for someone to date because they want to find true love and have a long-lasting relationship.

Others may be looking for someone to enjoy life and have a great relationship with. This is a good way of finding a partner if you don't have the opportunity to date in real life. The other reason why people use online dating is that they want to know if their partners are single and if they can trust them.

Online dating has gained popularity throughout the years, and there are a number of websites that offer online dating services. However, there are still some people who consider it to be a waste of time and money and some even argue that it is just a form of cheating. There are also those people who believe that there is nothing wrong with online dating.

Online dating is only recommended for people who have already found an ideal partner and have already established a strong relationship with their partners through personal interaction. If you do not have this sort of relationship yet, then it would be better if you just stick with offline dating.

Stop Ghosting and Date With More Empathy

If you’re looking for a quick and dirty exit to a romantic entanglement with someone you’re not too likely to run into again, ghosting can seem like a tempting, blissfully simple option. (Especially when social venues are closed, and online dating makes for countless relationship options that are easy to enter, and easier to exit.) But then, one day, you find yourself on the opposite end of the ghosting equation, lovelorn and wondering why people can’t just treat each other like goddamn human beings for once!

Point being, we could all probably stand to conduct our love lives with a little more empathy. In the third video in her series on modern love and infidelity, rempathy photoelationship and sex expert (and State of Affairs author) Esther Perel looks at “ghosting” and other new dating concepts that have cropped up to describe the hyper-connected-but-totally-disconnected way a lot of us go about dating these days.

“We’ve always rejected people but the intensity of communication that can precede the intensity of no communication has taken on a whole new proportion,” Perel explains. “What we have today is a state of unclear relationships in which I give just enough not to feel alone, but I don’t have to do any of the things that make me responsible and accountable to you.”

This state of affairs has created what Perel calls “interim states” where we keep each other at arm’s length in states of stable ambiguity, through methods like ghosting, as well as…

What Online Dating Statistics Tells You

When it comes to online dating statistics, there are a lot of websites out there that will spin any numbers in order to make any situation look good. I have tried to only provide the facts, but the information is available from other sources as well. The statistics have been collected from those sources including blog posts, online business publications, websites, and various other online research sources.

If you really want to know if online dating services are a good way to meet someone special, then all you need to do is check the online dating statistics to see what results they come up with. By knowing that the numbers show that there are millions of users looking for a date online, then it makes online dating services look very good indeed.

One thing that is quite interesting about online dating is that while many of the statistics show that a lot of people are taking advantage of the opportunity to find love through online dating services, there are also a lot of people that say that they are getting into online dating as a means of actually finding true love. Those are the people that will actually end up having to pay a fee to use the services in the first place.

As for the various different types of people who use these online dating services, they are actually those that are looking for a long term relationship, those that are looking for serious relationships, those that are looking for friendships, those that are looking for marriages, and those that are looking for a new family. When you are looking at the online dating statistics you will also get results for all the different types of people that you may be able to find in your area.

There are so many different areas that you can check for online dating statistics, but one of the most popular areas is the state that you live in because the statistics in that area can reflect the overall size of the market in that state. The statistics are much more accurate in an area that has many other people than in a small area where there are not many people.

Another area that will give you an idea of online dating stats is the city that you live in because this will determine if there are many people that are using online dating services in that area. It is interesting to look at the online dating statistics in cities where there is little to no population because you will get a lot of people on these sites. and it can make it hard to believe that there are so few people using these services in that area.

Icebreakers For Online Dating

Some of the best online dating icebreakers involve a bit of humor. One of the most popular icebreakers to use with online daters is in utilizing lighthearted jokes in reference to an embarrassing situation that someone might have posted on their online dating profile in the past. The internet has been a breeding ground for all types of hilarious situations where people are trying to impress other people by posting humorous comments and stories. It would be very easy to see how an online dating person can pick up on the humorous or even funny comments that another person is making and get a sense of humor which can then help them make an impression on another person they are interested in.

Some people like to try to use humor during icebreaker sessions with online daters because it tends to get them talking and can easily make the atmosphere more intimate. However, just because humor has the ability to break the ice doesn't mean that one must use it as often as possible. For instance, some daters find it funny to use some of their old jokes on each other. In this case, though, one should be careful not to be too offensive.

If you want to get a sense of humor out of dating, you can find online sources that provide a forum for people to share and discuss their experiences of dating through a variety of dating tips and dating advice. This is a great place to get some laughs, but you should only share the jokes on the advice of a professional. If you want to use humor when you are dating, you might want to look into one of these sites to learn some online dating tricks that you can put to good use.

There are many other online resources that can provide you with some very funny icebreakers. However, if you want to find the most humorous, or at least the funniest, icebreaker, you can simply make up your own. When you write down the things that you find most humorous and include a bit of humor into what you write, it will help you make an instant icebreaker out of what you have to say.

Humor can be used for the purpose of creating a conversation. Even though you might have a serious and logical conversation with the other person when using humorous icebreakers, it can still be quite entertaining for the other person to hear the conversation if it comes from you. Just be sure that your joke doesn't hurt anyone or that other person feels that they are being taken advantage of by you.

Using humor in your online dating conversations can create instant chemistry between you and the other people you are meeting. If you want to use humor to make a great dating experience, make sure that you take the time to do some research. This will allow you to come across as a genuine and understanding person and allow you to create an environment where you are the real person you want to be.

Online Dating Pros and Cons

Internet dating has become the norm in modern dating today, with more people beginning to use online dating services as a means of meeting other people. While there are plenty of dating sites and internet-dating sites where people can meet people of interest, it is important to understand the online dating pros and cons.

Dating on the internet provides many benefits for both men and women. With the cost of dating services being so cheap these days, it is possible to find someone who is just what you are looking for at a reasonable price. Of course, it is important to realize that the dating site you choose will also have its own set of cons.

Internet dating sites allow people to meet thousands of people at once. When you consider the number of different profiles online, you will see that some profiles will be less than half full, which means you may not have the chance to meet the right person. While this sounds bad for everyone, it is good to know that the number of people trying to meet someone is not going to be over-crowded.

It may be a good idea to take the time to search through the profiles of those who are interested in you before making your decision about where to meet them. There are many dating sites online that are designed specifically for people to date and make friends. Before deciding to use one of these sites, be sure you read the rules and requirements so that you can avoid any problems that may arise.

One of the main cons of online dating is that people can become obsessed when it comes to meeting someone. This can be extremely dangerous, especially for young people, who have lots of things to think about at a single moment. If you become too obsessed with finding a potential date, you will spend a lot of your time on the internet just waiting for the right person to approach you.

In general, online dating has many advantages and drawbacks. It is a great way to meet new friends, but people who aren't careful can end up doing something more serious than they bargained for. Make sure that you are using the dating site you choose carefully so you are guaranteed success. and that you don't run the risk of becoming a predator.

Writing a Successful Online Dating First Message

If you are going to take the next step towards meeting a future love partner through online dating, then it's important to make the most of every second that you spend on the internet. The first impression that you make is what will last. But when this first impression becomes reduced to a mere single word, it becomes even more magnified. If meeting someone for the first time in person, you usually have plenty of time to repair your image or redeem yourself.

Online dating often does not give people such opportunities. It is a simple fact that all too often when people make their initial approach, the message tends to be short, snappy, and straight-forward. This makes it hard to get a conversation going – but with the right mindset, it can be done.

The first thing that you need to do is to write down your thoughts, feelings, questions, and feelings as soon as possible. This way, you are able to get back into your head as soon as possible and put your thoughts to paper. It's important to remember that these messages will be seen by others, so you want to write something that will make them smile. The best advice is that you write down what you want to say and do the best that you can to express it. You might even have to take some time before you find the right words. However, once you do find them, your message should be perfect.

Make the message short and sweet. If you want to find that true love for you, then this is the message that you want to send. Remember, you don't want to appear desperate, so if your message seems as though you are, you won't win over that person. The last thing you want to do is to make a great first impression and leave your new love partner wondering if you are serious about meeting them.

Once you find the right words, make sure that they are short sentences that are easy to read. Avoid long and complicated words and complex sentences. Instead, use common words and phrases, especially those that can be easily understood by everyone. This will also help you communicate with your new date.

If you think that your first message was successful, be sure to write another one. You'll never know, someone may read it and decide to meet you, which would make a very happy ending to your online dating adventure. So write one more message and then find out!

These Are the Best Dating Apps for Men Over 40

If you’re a man over 40, chances are your dating life pre-dates the mainstream advent of dating apps. You probably started dating back when people met at bars or got set up on blind dates or just settled for their classmates or coworkers, got married in their 20s, had a couple kids by 35 and then got divorced. In fact, maybe you did exactly that and that’s why you’re now looking for dating-app advice.

Whether you’re a middle-aged guy returning to the dating game after a marriage-length hiatus or a proud “never married, no kids” type, chances are you can recall a time when dating didn’t require wifi, and you may be looking for some guidance when it comes to navigating the online dating space.

While college-aged millennials were the first to thrust dating apps into the mainstream in the early 2010s, the platforms have become increasingly popular among older singles as well in recent years. After all, the oldest members of the generation that first embraced dating apps a decade ago are approaching 40. Whether you’re an older guy who’s brand new to dating apps or an aging millennial (sorry) who suddenly feels too old for Tinder, you may be wondering which dating apps are best for you, a mature adult man.

So what do I, a 23-year-old woman, know about being a man over 40 on a dating app? While I might not know much about being you, I happen to know a lot about dating you. I know which apps I’m most likely to find you on, and, in…
