Ashley Madison – for flings.

Salad Match – for Lusty Lettuce Lovers

Tall Friends – things are looking up

It’s difficult to get a real sense of the actual person. You mostly get their version of them, sort of like a highlight reel.

And with people sometimes carefully crafting their response or reply, its not always easy to know what kind of personality they have, or what they’re really like.

The first date can be tough. Both parties are still getting comfortable with each other and there’s an awkwardness in the air.

Besides the usual things you don’t want to do (like talking about yourself too much) there are 10 things to avoid in conversation to help your date go smoother.

1. “I’ve watched this movie with my ex.”

2. “My ex and I use to come here all of the time.”

3. On the phone (if you are a man): “I will be home by 10 mom”

4. “Can I have a doggy bag to take with me” (when you are in a restaurant)

5. “My dad/mom wants me to be home by nine.”

6. “Come and meet my parents.”

7. “I have never felt better since taking Prozac.”

8. “I have had 10 lovers; how many have you had?”

9. “I only split with my boyfriend/girlfriend last week.”

10. “Do you mind getting the bill? I am broke” (if you are a man).

We’ve put together a list of some of the best ones we’ve seen…

10) Feel free to interact with me. All my shots are current!

9) You must be over 5’10” to read this profile.

8) I bathe every day!

7) Is this thing like eBay?

6) Shopping for Guys – And They Said There Was No Such Store!

5) Since light travels faster than sound, is that why some people appear bright until they speak?

4) I’m like poop. The older I get the easier I am to pick up!

3) Coffee, Chocolate, and Men – some things are just better rich.

2) I believe in dragons, good men, and other fantasy creatures.

1) Willing to lie about how we met!

Some quick online dating tips on red flags to watch for…

Ever wonder just how accurate some of the matchmaking sites are? Is it a placebo effect or can the dating websites really align the stars for you?

Relationships are typically based on two things; compatibility and attraction, with most giving those two factors a different priority, but some might have other motives.

It sort of seems odd that answering about 100 questions can provide enough insight to suggest the right one, but I suppose its possible with the right questions, maybe?

There’s a lot of dating sites out there beyond the ones you might already be familiar with. Most people know of sites like Match, eHarmony, and Plenty of Fish, but when not try something different to open your possibilities?

Full Story

It’s actually a site which works with other dating sites, like Match, eHarmony, PlentyofFish, OKCupid, and others.

It’s called Weopia, at it provides virtual dating to let online daters get to know each other better. When we first read about it, we were blown away by the idea.

Weopia works like this; when you’ve met someone that interests you, you invite them on a virtual date. They say it allows you to get to know someone better, in less time, and those that use virtual dating are usually more happy with their new mate, and twice as likely to have a second date.

Sounds like a great way to find someone you might be compatible with.

Here’s a video showing what it’s like inside Weopia…

Considerations include things like whether the person is smiling, holding a pet, flirting with the camera and more. One of the surprising results of the study was that women who take photos using what’s referred to as the “Myspace angle” – a self-photo taken at an overly-flattering and enhancing angle—is very successful for female users.

Online Dating Photos

And while younger men that posted shirtless photos faired well, that response level dropped as the age increased. Another interesting point made was that women who posted photos with a pet didn’t receive a lot of response, but guys that did were to get almost as many as those with shirtless photos.
