Hump Day’s Motivational Picture
Today we get ready for life to take us on it’s wild spring ride.
Get your engines started!
Get started by guessing who this is… yes, it’s Katy Perry, with make-up on, not as seen in Katy Perry’s twitter wakeup picture (that’s hidden elsewhere on this blog).
Get your engines started!
Karma and Love: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Karma and Love
Today is a “new romance for you” day. I want you to be prepared because someone you meet today, or “spy with your little eye” is going to be the next major love of your life.
You will see him or her and say to them “I really like that ***(outfit, shirt, shoes, something they did), can we go out and have a coffee later (after work, at break, at a specific time)?”
It is that simple to meet the next major love of your life. Taking matters in your own hands, karma brought the person near you, it’s up to you to take these nexr steps I’ve just told you about.
Do it!
The thing about love is that very rarely is it “scripted” into our lives. We have to go and get love, not wait for love to drop into our lives with a big “love” sign attached to their foreheads.
For today’s headline I offer this to you:
“If it feels like love, then it is! Your turn to take the next step!”
Have a great day!
Change: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Change of life.
Do you remember how big computer monitors used to be? Or is your computer desk bowing over with that 24″ deep monitor still?
What about TV’s? Remember that they used to take up half the living room and that “book cases” that held a TV were way too deep to hold any books unless you hid 2 extra rows of books behind the row you actually saw?
So many things change in such a radical way. Maybe William Shatner has it right and “Star Trek” really did change the world. Someone has to be responsible, right?
My point is that we never know from one moment to the next where we’ll be. We can guess and many of these guesses are from well educated points of view. But sometimes we just don’t know what is next and we take a gamble with each next step into the future.
My idea for today’s headline suggestion for you is this:
“Life is full of change. I have two dimes and a nickle for your quarter!”
Have a great day!
Dating Russian Women
There has been a segment that get’s a lot of attention, then it fades away. Then it rebounds with a lot of life. This is, of course, so-called “Russian Mail Order Brides”.
You don’t actually mail a woman over to live with you, but you can browse through online galleries and start a long-distance relationship with one or more ladies, then later plan to visit with them on a guided tour.
To get you started, here are some very nice looking Russian women seeking love.

Self-Promotion: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Do you play shy?
Who is the person that does the promotion of “you”?
I mean, do you speak well of yourself or do you have your friends promote you to others so you can ask someone for a date?
Do you play these school yard games of “Who do you like?” and have friends ask around to see if you have a chance with someone before you ask them for a date?
If you look back at your last few dates who set you up more, your friends? Or did you have the nerve to ask for the date yourself more often?
We’re lucky that we can still play the school yard games of who likes you, we just use technology instead of the grapevine now.
Almost every dating service I have reviewed in the past few years offers hints and clues and results of who has visited your profile page, winked or smiled at you (or sent some type of introduction note) and more. These “intro games” can fast-track you into dates but only, and I mean ONLY if you offer up enough self-promotion that will make someone really like you.
Your headline, your picture and how you write your profile, even answering the multiple choice questions in your profile all come down to how well you can promote yourself to someone you haven’t met yet.
Consider self-promotion the next time you visit your own profile page and take ahard look at what you’ve written and answered so far.
Today’s headline of the day is one I rather like and I think will work for many people:
“I have never done ‘shy’, what about you?”
Have a great day!
Preference Editing: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Sunday
Have you had your rest for today? Will you be bsuy with chores, catching up on the things you left for today from the previous week?
STOP!
You already lost an hour of sleep, do you need to lose an hour of possible online dating success too?
Of course you don’t.
Today is the “edit your profile day” and your dating chore for today is to edit the portion of your dating profile that decsribes the type of person you want to meet.
Maybe you’ve been too descriptive, too picky, too anal in limiting the type of person you want in your life.
Or maybe you’ve been to general, casting such a wide net that this section of your profile reads like a telephone book.
It’s hard to find the right balance in the search for the type of person you’d like to meet. Avoid specifics like long hair, steady employment, height and weight. Choose to be general but not too unspecific. Use the advanced member search of the dating service you use for your guide, read the questions they use to refine their results and answer those questions as your preferred match.
This will get you more results and the opportunity to meet many more people, and maybe someone very special.
For your headline today I suggest you post this:
“Read mine and I’ll read yours!”
Have a great day!
CORRELATING PRIVATE AFFINITIES
Is Microsoft entering the online dating industry?
According to this patent that was filed in 2009 and recently discovered, Microsoft is seeking to patent a “private affinities” dating service of the type Microsoft describes would be a system where you would be a member of the service and describe your most private likes and dislikes, i.e. you really liked wearing velvet (as opposed to the description in the patent of two comic book lovers) but wouldn’t normally expose that part of your personality online but in this dating service scenario revealing this “like” would only be shown to others that shared the same “like” of wearing velvet.
Now, I can see this being a premium ad-on to the popular MSN Messenger service, or maybe a stand-alone service. Time will tell. So far Microsoft is quiet about their plans on this “Private afffinity” dating service, but the future will reveal all.
Here’s the first part of the description of the “service” in the patent application:
One or more computer storage media having a system embodied thereon including computer-executable instructions that, when executed, leverage a private affinity in order to facilitate or enrich relationships, the system comprising:a cryptography component that receives a profile associated with a user, the profile including a set of private affinities that describes the user and that are cryptographically protected from public inspection, wherein protected from public inspection is defined by a degree of authorization that exceeds a level of authorization required to access the underlying profile;a matching component that compares a private affinity from the set to a disparate affinity included in a disparate profile associated with a disparate user in order to identify a matching affinity that correlates with the private affinity; anda notification component that generates a message that indicates the matching affinity has been identified, the message including a request to publish to the disparate user revealed information included in the profile.
Read the patent filing here. Apple Quicktime plugin may be needed by your browser to view the documents drawings (rather odd, but still…) with a G5 tiff viewer installed. I couldn’t get any images to display in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari browsers, even after installing the plugin for each. Any recommendations or screenshots of the images by you would be greatly appreciated.
Clocks Spring Forward Tonight
On Sunday, March 13 at 2 a.m., most Americans and Canadians will move their clocks forward an hour as we transition from Standard Time to Daylight Time. Although it means a lost hour of sleep, it’s also a sign that the spring season is near.
So don’t sleep in, you’ve been warned!
Note: areas return to Standard Time at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November.
Online Dating Starter Kit: Match.com March Marathon
Match.com wants you to succeed in your dating adventure because when you’re happily dating the people you meet at Match.com, you become a believer in what online dating accomplishes for single people like you and at Match.com in particular.
Match.com has the technology and the experience (online since 1994) to make online dating work. But every “joiner” does not arrive at match.com with the same expectations. After all, we are all unique.
Online Dating Starter Kit
To help you get started with finding success with online dating (if you’re a first-timer or not having much success so far) there is an online presentation called “Online Dating Starter Kit” that is an online presentation and or as a downloadable pdf (from this link as well as on the match.com website) that takes you step-by-step through the online dating processes that will help you to create headlines and profile tips that will attract the type of person you seek.
You’ll need to sign in to this part of the Match.com website (maybe for the second time) but you can use your existing email and password, you don’t need to create a new account.
To find the FAQ and “Online Dating Starter Kit” you’ll need to head over to the “Help” section and search for “Online Dating Starter Kit”, then click on the answer link “What is the starter kit?”. I don’t know why such a goldmine of information is tucked away and hard to find, but there it is, now laid at your feet.
Remember, Match.com is the software, and no matter what, you are the result. You need to do your best to become an online dating success story and Match.com provides more opportunities than any other dating service to make that success happen, in my opinion.
Turmoil: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Who can you count on?
“I never wanted to hurt you… I only wanted the best for you, for your future, for your life.
If any advice I have offered to you so far has not worked out, or been in error, I am deeply sorry.
This has always been your life to live, not for me to live it for you.”
Have you been given this speech by a parent when you were in your youth? Love is the hardest thing to understand and offer when you don’t understand; or when your understanding is not on level with the issue at hand.
We all have it tough, life offers no easy choices, no easy paths to take; and even worse there are no guarentees that anyone you know will grasp the turmoil in your life and be able to offer you relevant advice to get you through these tumultuous times you find yourself in.
This is when it’s hard to believe that love is enough.
Love, when mixed with understanding, offers the opportunity for us to be a safe haven for our friends in distress. And if this can be reciprocated when we find ourselves in distress then you truly have a friend.
I have written all of this because it’s important to rediscover our boundaries and see if they can stretch with the new obstacles of life that confront us.
It isn’t always ourselves that find us being caught up in turmoil but we can be enveloped within it nonetheless. That’s what family and friendship really means.
I offer you this testament as a friend, one you may never meet in person but can communicate with through the advice offered here, and the more than 1,700 other posts in this simple blog.
Communication is our only hope of a fair future, for ourselves and those that we care about. And with all of this in our minds I offer this thoughtful headline for your profile headline today:
“Could you count on me in a moment of distress? Are you willing to find out?”
Have a great day!
ProfilePro: Match.com March Marathon
If you think of yourself as “less-than-perfect”, how well do you think you’d be able to write about yourself in a positive light?
Besides public speaking, one of the categories that is hardest to be talkative in is when you have to talk about yourself, share intimately your positives and minimalize your negatives and still come across as a nice, caring and loving person that someone else would want to meet.
Yes, describing yourself out loud is a very hard task for many people. Describing yourself to an anonymous and judgemental audiance can be “deer in the headlights” frightening.
This is where Match.com has you covered, they offer a professional writers service that can fine tune and offer some critical elements to your profile that will help others (people that have not yet met you) find a level of attraction in you by emphasizing your good qualities without being egotistic or self-involved beyond redemption and show you off in the best possible light. This is a great feature/service!
Match.com ProfilePro Feature
You do have to pay for this service and you’ll have an expert profile writer to review your existing profile, ask you some questions (if needed) and make the most of what you’ve told about yourself into a profile that becomes an interesting mini-bio about yourself that you would have written if only you knew how.
You don’t have to use the profile that is written for you but there isn’t a refund of the service cost if you decide not to. As well, you may be asked to have a better main profile picture of you made available for your updated profile and that could include Match.com suggesting professional photographer services to you, again at an additional fee.
Most people are anxious when they have to talk about themselves about their deepest desires and personality traits. It’s good to know that there is a professional waiting in the wings if you need help.
You don’t need to be a premium member (subscriber) to use this service, obviously you’ll receive the most attention and be able to communicate more with other members if you are a subscribing member of Match.com.
You can join here and receive a 7 day free trial premium membership today.
