Disney Magic: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

“I’m going to Disney-land!” is one of my all-time favorite cheers when things go very well for me.

This includes winning $5.00 on a twenty-dollar lottery ticket. Sure, the rewards may not be great but using my example at least I didn’t lose the whole $20.00.

We are all capable of finding real joy in the smallest of details but when we’re down the great aspects of our life are often clouded over, out of focus and not realized for what they are.

And that is sad.

Love your life, look for the joy and you will find it, him, her.

For your personal ad headline today give this one a try:
“Life is everything it’s cracked up to be!”

Have a great day!

You’ll Love These!: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

“These are the ones you’ll love!”

I think I’ve heard this term about 30 times this past week and not once has it had anything to do with dating… not even swinger services have used this tagline.

But waffles, shoes, pants, etc., sure… all good. (*sob*) I guess.

I like to think that dating does offer you choice. Redhead or blonde. Big shoulders or more mature.

“Go big or go home because these are the ones you’re going to love!”

I hated to be told what to do and when it’s pushing what I consider to be a dime-store novelty or a hoax medicinal product, watch out for my retribution (or at least several harsh words to the person next in line).

For your personal ad headline today try this:
“Nothing freaky, just looking for true love.”

Have a great day!

OKCupid and Dating Members Info: Dating in the News

Privacy Study: Top U.S. Websites Share Visitor Personal Data WSJ Blogs – By Julia Angwin
NOTE: This post has been updated to include clarifications that were made to the original study. A study released Tuesday shows that 45% of the top 185 U.S. websites transmit identifying details about their visitors to at least four outside websites. The data transmitted was primarily a “username” – which is the name a person uses to log into a website – or a user ID assigned by the website to a user. It was usually transmitted through referrers – which is information about the web page transmitted automatically. Online date website OKCupid In some cases, the data went much further: the study found for instance that the online dating website OKCupid sent the gender, age, zip code, relationship status and ‘drug use frequency’ to two companies that sell personal data in auctions, BlueKai and Lotame. Lotame also received data about ‘relationship status’ and ‘drug use frequency.’

The Republican Debate vs Eharmony: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Political debates are like dating

Political debates are like dating

Let’s imagine your date is similar to the Republican debate (untelevised version).

The debaters are three or four people that want to convince you the opportunity to choose them over the others so they can run for the highest job in the land. They all have websites, eharmony members have profile pages.

Now imagine that these are 4 guys (or ladies) that you’ve met on a dating service, maybe eharmony.com.

Instead of the debate they have to go through the guided communication steps, answering a lot of questions, adding their own values and experiences to convince you to vote for them, before they find out who you are and you have the final pick on which one you will personally contact, communicate with and possibly go on a date.

The only real difference in this comparison is that for the political debate at some point you have to pick just one, with the dating comparison you can still date all of them.

The politicos are going to twist the truth, browbeat the other people in the debate and really undermine confidence in the whole effort, whereas with eharmony.com these people won’t know there are a few competing for the privilege of a date being the prize.

The politicians might be in the same party but they don’t share the same views on many topics, and are hard to follow along with, breaking a single political force into a splintered group of political views.

Eharmony.com guided communication allows you to set the tone and balance the guided communication and provide like-minded answers that will confirm your compatibility, at least online.

Ultimately you’ll have to make a choice that will affect your life, one more than the other. I just wish I could tell which is the more important one for you to make. Time will tell. Also, in 4 years you’ll have to again choose between different debaters and with eharmony hopefully for you within 4 years you’ll have a ring on your finger (guys, just work at being great and engagement material and get her the ring!).

For your dating profile headline today give this one a shot:
“Miss the televised debate and just pick me!”

Have a great day!
