Pot of Chili: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Big pot of chili.

Big pot of chili.

Friday

I think my favorite food would have to be a lasagna rich with fresh sauce, ricotta cheese and a mixture of mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar cheeses, applied in a logical order and with a little bit of spice, maybe dried chili peppers added to the mix.

I do make this treat myself once every few months. Although I could easily eat lasagna several times a week, when made to please my palate, my waist wouldn’t appreciate it and I’d never want to overdue it and then hate eating lasagna, like what happened with chili.

I used to make a big pot of chili a couple of times a month. This would leave me with five or six meals worth of chili to spread over the next couple of work weeks (a few bowls frozen, of course) but after a couple years of this menu I tired of having chili and now haven’t made or eaten chili for several years.

I think that your favorite meal helps to define you as a person. Think about it, when your favorite meal is available at a restaurant it’s usually what’s ordered, at least for me anyways. And if it’s not made in a satisfactory way then the restaurant loses a lot of it’s “cache” for being a place to go and eat.

And when you start to withdraw from going to certain places to eat you define not only the direction of your own tastes but the options of menu choices that your dining companion has as well.

I usually get to choose where we go out to eat and it’s not only what is available on the menu but how dependable the meal is from visit to visit. The restaurant is great as long as the meal is great but if the cook has an off moment, and I suffer a not-great-meal, then my return visit will be far in the future.

I tell you all of this because I want to remind you that not only do our choices affect ourselves but they can have far reaching implications as well.

Maybe the cook loses his job, maybe the restaurant closes. Maybe my dining companion tires of my restaurant choices and I end up dining alone.

The implications of choice are mind-boggling, to say the least.

Life offers a lot more than lasagna and chili choices. For my part of it, and yours, online dating offers an entire buffet of choices and options.

I encourage you to try more than any single dating service at a time. Having an active profile on two or three dating services at a time is quite normal, even encouraged. This will help you to not only get used to how online dating works but increase your chances of finding great dates too.

Just don’t use the same user/member name and password combination, and try to use different photos in your profile too. Keep your profile headlines original too, maybe variations of this headline theme will work well for you:
“My favorite food is lasagna, what is yours?”

Have a great day!

Thursday

Congrats to all involved in a job well done. 33 miners saved after 69 days trapped 2,300 feet under the surface.

I won’t even to attempt to describe what has gone through their minds and the personal demons they fought to maintain hope and sanity. I’ll wait for the book or movie, or both.

Where I live mining and forestry support a big part of the local economy and this rescue event has changed a lot of talk around the dinner table in recent weeks, for a lot of my friends, certainly.

OK, enough slobbering on.

The point of this blog is to offer you a decent option, or example, to post as your online dating profile headline. Your headline and picture are the first things that someone browsing the personal ads, or reviewing search results, will see and if you want to beat all the competition for attention (go ahead and search for your profile, you’ll see what I mean) you need to stand out.

Loudly and with humor.

With Halloween around the corner feel free to get dressed up and (while avoiding the mask or facial makeup, you can include those complete costume photos in your profile photo album) take a few shots and pick one to be your primary photo. Not too many guys or gals are doing this yet so you’ll be ahead of the competition and just might score a Halloween party date early.

And for your headline try this today:
“Costume: check. Party: check. Party partner: Just one message away.”

Have a great day!

While I personally don’t ride a bike, I do have a certain amount of respect for those that do, reducing their “carbon footprint” and caring for the environment… yes, all that crap.

But, I’d still rather be driving my car and having this type of cyclist behind me won’t change my mind any time soon.

What do you think?

For 33 miners hope brings rescue.

For 33 miners hope brings rescue.

Wednesday

What can be said today other than “God bless the 33″, the Chilean miners (and one man from Bolivia) trapped for 69 days, finally being rescued.

I stayed up as long as I could, eyes fixed to my television and computer’s live feed of the rescue happening thousands of miles away.

Hope was held by families, miners and all that heard of this story and hope will continue to bring the last of the men to the surface, more than 2300 feet from where they were trapped underground.

Hope drove this rescue operation and hope drives your dating adventure. A new life will be realized by all, as hope touches all of our lives.

Today, share hope, and post this as your dating profile headline:
“Share with me your hope for the future.”

Have a great day!

Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Be the winner you were meant to be!

Be the winner you were meant to be!

Tuesday

Risk. What it’s called when you’re gambling with other people’s money.

Avoidable. What it’s called when thinking about gambling with your own money.

Life is full of challenges but it’s the winners that write the rules of the game.

You want to be a winner, right?

This is what you do… decide to stop playing games and begin to validate your own moods and feelings. Once you can live more honestly with yourself then everyone else understands that you’re the one in charge, at least in charge of your own life.

Now, I can’t tell you exactly the steps you’ll need to get to this point but I can suggest that you can start here and find your own way. Because life is an adventure but the adventure only begins when you are the one leading the march.

When using online dating your adventure begins when you complete the sign up form and the heat turns up when you’ve completed your profile and start getting replies to your profile.

If you want to get a lot of replies to your profile start by posting this as your headline:
“A friend bet me I wouldn’t get any replies to my ad, will you help me win the bet?”

Have a great day!

Today’s Conversation Topics

A breath of fresh air

A breath of fresh air

At any time, in any place,
you might need to start a conversation.

Now, for a lot of people this isn’t a problem but if you’re like me having something to talk about takes work and effort. You need to be reading and paying attention to a lot of details. Or you need to know a lot about just a few things to be considered “knowledgeable” without being conceited or condescending towards others.

This post will give you a heads-up on a couple of current news stories that provide fodder for interesting conversations so you have something to say when the time comes for you to say something. So continue reading and feel free to use my comments about the stories as you see fit.

- Man stabbed when he doesn’t let his friends suck his blood. Well, really, he did let them suck his blood once so what’s his problem now? It is hard to find dependable friends these days isn’t it?

- Robot cars are among us. Google, the “Do no evil” mega-internet giant has been field testing robot cars for “unknown purposes” for a while now, on US streets. My fear is what happens if the robot cars decide to take over? Will Google’s unofficial motto be changed to “Yes we can”?

- Streaker arrested. Not just any nude runner, but the guy that tried to show off his gonads to President Obama for a cool $1 million dollars in prize money. Had I only known, either I’d have had my camera ready or tried to win the money myself…

Have a great day!

Dating: Stop watching from the audience.

Dating: Stop watching from the audience.

Monday

** To my Canadian friends, Happy Thanksgiving!

Unless your dating is error prone, like the Atlanta Braves’ second baseman Brooks Conrad, dropping the ball is usually a recoverable offense. An apology can go a long way and if you learn from your mistakes you won’t have to get traded to another city to (hopefully) live down your mistakes.

So keep your errors to a minimum.

Be respectful. Be funny. Be yourself. And if you can’t be all three, be the first two.

If you haven’t had much luck with online dating then I have a few suggestions that will help you turn your fortunes around:
- Edit your profile and do it now. Make it less wordy, cut out a lot of the insignificant stuff and limit yourself to discussing two or three things about yourself without too much detail, after all, you do need to save something for your first date, right?
- Update all your photos and make sure you’re the only person in any of them. Be sure to have as your primary picture a head and shoulders picture and remember to smile nicely.
- Exchange three or four messages, not more, before either talking on the phone or meeting for a coffee date. Overextending the time that you email, instant message and chat online before meeting means you’ll have more opportunities to mess things up and turn the person off.
- Change your headline every few days. You never know which one is going to strike the attraction of the person you’re destined to meet, so give destiny a helping hand by posting a new profile headline regularly.

Today this is my headline suggestion for you:
“Life is a game that I intend to win!”

Have a great day!

Look into the path of your future

Look into the path of your future

Sunday

If you’ve left the glorious fantasy of your life behind and you’re eyes have been opened to the trials and tribulations that are the human condition, then you’re not alone.

Life, as we all find out sooner or later, is not actually depicted properly in our favorite television shows.

Unless it’s a documentary of the poor and homeless, I’m sure you can agree with me that with this comparison, not matter what we’re up to, life is pretty good.

How does this translate in better dating you ask?

When you can accept the condition of your life you are at a place where you can then plan and define the next steps of your life, of the direction you will steer your life towards.

Being in this place allows for more understanding of others and an overall improved life experience as you include others into your life’s path.

That is when dating is improved.

For today, keeping what you read in mind, post this as your dating headline:
“I am ready to share my life with you.”

Have a great day!

Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2010

Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2010

Saturday

I am a believer in my own intellect.

I believe that I can dissect the facts and come to a reasonable conclusion.

Maybe “reasonable” is too disparate a word. Men of “reason” understand that reason is both a shield and a hammer.

Since the dawn of time reason has been used to defend any position men have found to be “reasonable” and attack any position they deem “unreasonable” in that they can deduce the facts but weighted to base their own means to an end using reason.

It is this systematic reasoning that allows both evil and good to seem to balance out but in truth the game is fixed.

The laws of the land are held by the men that can form reason and explain their means to an end based on a methodology that is not fair and often lawless.

Yesterday, Friday October 8, 2010, with the announcement of Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Peace Prize, based on his determination to rail his people against the “reason” of the machine that occupies the power structure of his homeland and forcing him into an unwarranted confinement, is an incredible example of the reason of man and the inherent evil that men are capable of with their interpretation of “reason”.

I ask that you do your part, as a person of reason and as a person that will stand up to the fight against the unreasonable that is in our world today and find a way to make a stand, just as Liu Xiaobo has made a stand of reason and is now punished beyond tears for his determination.

I call to you to repeat this post, to flood the internet with this message that we will not stand idly by, that we, also being people of reason and being able to discern real truth from the hammer of reason, will commit some small measure towards the freedom of Liu Xiaobo and the people that find his reason to be reasonable.

Today I ask that you post as your dating profile headline this simple sentence:
“I will stand with Liu Xiaobo, a man of reason.”

Have a great day!
