Online Dating Adventure: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Beginning your online dating adventure
Making the most of your online dating adventure is as simple as a few strategic clicks and an updated profile.
The first thing you need to do is start with a membership where the most people are. If you’re shooting fish, the bigger the barrel, the more plentiful the fish and the more opportunities to hit something! Our Top Ten list of recommended dating services should be your first click.
Profile questionaires range from the very basic to the very involved. You should allow yourtself plenty of time to complete the task before you, and remember: be as honest as you can and only answer the questions that you’d feel perfectly comfortable with a stranger knowing the answers.
You have a digital camera, or a webcam. Who doesn’t these days, right? Us eit to take a nice “head and shoulders” picture of yourself to upload to your profile. It’s very easy to do this, all dating services have easy to follow instructions for this step. If there is an extra section for a photo album it’s a good idea to upload a few pictures but unless you have the permission of others in the photo keep the images limited to ones of only yourself.
The “Search” and “Browse” features to find other members is one of the most used and least understood features of any dating service. You want to, at first, browse for people like yourself and read through a few profiles. It’s good to know the “competition” as well as see how others that have similarities to you write their own profiles.
Finally, have fun!
To get you started, here’s my suggestion for your first headline to post with your profile:
“I’m new here, any tips to get a date?”
Have a great day!

The Fart: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Friday
I don’t often discuss relationship issues. Not because I’m not a very good advice giver, more simply the reason is relationship advice is a very personal area and needs to be handled a little more delicately that just an open blog post or article that is written for general consumption.
That being said, there are topics that have mass appeal and can help a wider variety of people that if just shared with one. This is one of those articles.
Note: It used to be that hand holding was a big step in dating (sounds rather archaic these days), thren ti became when a couple had sex the relationship was cemented in exclusivity and direction.
These days, when traditional dating seems to have fallen by the way-side, the “hook-up” and the “hanging-out” have become the “dating scene” these days.
Hanging out with your friends is good but just hanging out and hooking up for sex is not a relationship builder. Although hooking up is not totally anonymous sex, it is an excercise in bodily pleasure without the issues of beginning or having a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
So this takes having sex totally out of the equation for when a man and a woman declare that they are “dating”. Sex has already happened, at least once, and now the relationship starts ahead of the curve with the expectations that are common and mormal when two poeple form a relationship.
I mention all of this because, with sex out of the dating equation, it’s become harder to know when a dating relationship has started as well as when this relationship has begun to enter “exclusive” and “formal” stages.
So I offer to you the “fart” as the new line in the sand as to when a relationship has become serious and exclusivity is on the way.
When men and women spend a lot of time together it’s normal for someone, at sometime, have an “explosive release of gas” from their bottom. The key here is whether the fart is disguised, hidden out of earshot of the other partner, or is is just observed as a “natural thing” with no further comment.
I once read somewhere that a study was done and it became evident that humans “release gas” anally on an average of 400 times a day. Now, not all farts are loud and distinguishable from other sounds, but a few are.
It’s how they are handled by each partner that now determines the state of the relationship.
If you are trying to hide your farts by leaving the room or waiting for a covering louder noise then your dating is still in what would be called the “honeymoon stage”.
If, however, you do not hide your fart and it is of such force that the fart cannot be explained as some other noise, and your partner is present in the same room, you can safely assume that you’re relationship is “maturing” and exclusivity is on the way.
Remember this and you’ll have one more secret to measure current and future relationships with.
Our dating profile headline of the day is:
“It’s hard to believe that I’m here and so are you!”
Have a great day!
Friday’s Conversation Topics
Another week, another few days of wackiness and newsworthy stories. It’s all about what I have and what you want this week. You’re going to want to talk about these news stories. Really! Read on.
- “I know the law”… and now this Spanish lady owns the sun. It’s amazing what the power of a notary public is and I have to wonder what Angeles Duran is going to charge us for using the sun. This is a great entrepreneurial job, don’t you think? Hmmm…
- It’s a good probability that your computer is already fingerprinted (that is, cataloged by each device’s unique combination of hardware, software and installed fonts) and you’re being tracked more intricately that ever before. David Norris’s company BlueCava has already fingerprinted 200 million internet devices and expects to have more than 1 billion devices fingerprinted and trackable for online advertisers by the end of 2011. It’s going to be very hard to use any internet-enabled device and not be followed online soon, if not already.
- Yes, I said he has a camera in the back of his head. Hey, everyone wants to be known as “the first” and academia being what it is these days, if you can’t impress one way, go farther than anyone else and make your mark with a camera in the back of your head. yes, this article includes a video to sate your curiosity and give you even more to talk about. “The thumb-sized camera is mounted on a titanium plate inserted inside the back of his head” Professor Wafaa Bilal said. Once the camera is broadcasting via a computer Professor Bilal carries with him you’ll be able to view the pictures at www.3rdi.me.
- In these hard times there’s always a story of a guy, somewhere, augmenting his income in a less-than-lawful way. Mr. Gumbs, while working at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, managed to order a few extra toner cartidges and (possibly but this has yet to be proven in court) sold them on some ink-black-market. Well, maybe a little more than a few, maybe more like $3.4 million dollars of excess (and still missing) toner purchased since 2004 that never made it into the hospital’s supply system. Of course, a lot of the ink didn’t even fit any of the printers that are in use at Sloan-Kettering. I guess this was a “great job” for a while…
Have a great week!
Bad First Date Experience: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Not what you expected?
I’ve been speaking with some lady friends about their experiences of first dates with men they’ve met onlne and guys, it’s not good.
The majority of stories centered on the fact that the guy was not as tall as stated in his ad. He was balding a lot more than in his picture. He was a lot heavier than shown in his profile.
Guys, the devil will out you, you’ve got to try harder to have an accurate profile of personal information and a very recent photo of yourself on your profile.
Dishonesty (even some little white lies) will turn what could have been a good first date experience into an immediate disaster. Do you really believe that “all will be forgiven” once your date sees you for the first time? Not gonna happen, my friend.
There isn’t a single lady out there that will not look at you with fdistrust when you shop up and are not “yourself”.
Be better than this, edit your profile and get with the honesty program. Your number of dates might go down but the dates you have will be a much risher experience.
Here’s your dating headline today, consider using this once you’ve edited your profile:
“I am not what the cat dragged in!”
Have a great day!

Living Care-free: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Wednesday
Life is full of an amazing amount of struggles, don’t you agree?
Now, I don’t mean the struggles of populations or societies, that is certainly beyond the scope of my expertize. I do mean the day-to-day struggles that each of us have to deal with and win or lose life goes on.
Sometimes it seems easier to avoid a problem and hope it goes away on it’s own rather than doing something about it. But avoidance isn’t living, it’s hiding.
We don’t want to hide from life do we?
In this most-open technological time it becomes even harder to not talk about ourselves and finding out intimate moments of other people’s lives too. Do you think Facebook relies on CNN for their news? Of course not, it’s you and me that makes Facebook interesting, posting the trivial, the mundane and the life-changing moments as we drag ourselves through one day and the next.
Obviously I’m pro-technology but I have to ask: is technology serving us well or are we over-complicating our lives?
The struggles that we face on an individual basis, are they just part of life or are we creating our own hardships?
With that question we’ll now get to the task at hand: your new dating profile question.
Today consider using this as your headline:
“I am care-free not careless.”
Have a great day!
