Dating Profile Headline of the Day: Comedy Headlines

Huge Local Discounts in Over 150 Cities!

Huge Local Discounts in Over 150 Cities!

Comedy equals 99% timing + 1% material.
And if you’re going for real laughs lessen the material.

Yes, there are rules to life, dating and even love… I know you’re surprised. “Rules to love?” you ask incredulously, “tell me you’re lying, please!”

I understand your bewilderment, after all those months (years?!) of dating and when you finally walk down the aisle you’re going to need to need to learn a whole new rulebook, it just isn’t fair is it?

That’s one reason I believe the marriage rate has gone down so much over the past two generations. All of these under-achievers living together, too worried about not passing the final exam so they don’t even attempt taking the walk down the aisle to get passed the next rulebook they’ll need.

Hahaha…

Then we have those that haven’t given up, they’re just waiting for the right time to get back into the dating market. Like it’s a stock exchange or something. And based on recent history the stock market is a lot more dangerous than hanging your hopes on a partner for life these days.

One last shot and then it’s time to choose, kids. For your headline of your personal ad try this today:
“I’m glad you found my profile, I read yours already. Did that pet thing really happen?”

And if that isn’t to your taste I hope I at least have inspired you to write your own comedy headline.

Have a great day!

Normal: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

I like to think that “some” of the small things in life actually give us an open window into our own future.

As your life (spins) into a free-falling state and you’re grabbing onto any small thing that can “return normal” for you, normalcy will return to your life and, by using the right guides, control over your life becomes second nature.

What we percieve to be normal (each in our own unique way) can only be our normal. The main people-varient to normal is whether others see normal the same way we do. And this brings with it plenty of room to guess and get things wrong about other people.

Hopefully they’re not making the same mistakes about us too. And this leads us to today’s personal ad headline that I strongly suggest you use for the next couple of days.

Your next date should be with someone that accepts your invitation with the time that they’re available and having brunch with you is already in mind. Good stuff!

None of that awkwardness surrounding the question you’d otherwise be dying to ask “Do you want to go out for a meal with the?” and fretting for the answer minutes, maybe even days later, because your profile headline has done most of the work for you, in advance.

Post this headline and watch the messages you receive plough into your inbox:
“When is the best time to invite you to a Sunday brunch?”

Have a great day!

Dating Safety Rules: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Keep an eye on your drink!

Keep an eye on your drink!

Sunday

There has been a lot of noise over the past two weeks with Match.com deciding to check member profiles against a national (USA) sex offender registry.

While I do agree with any additional safety feature that any online service can offer as a way to better protect their members, I think that ultimately the safety of the person is the responsibility of the person.

Think of it this way, if you buy something online and use your credit card, a host of information now has to be secured by the merchant company to be able to not only process your order but also to maintain that personal information you had to agree to provide to complete the order.
You assume that the company will protect your information, use it only with your consent, and store it safely.
Ultimately, however, it is up to you to watch where you make a purchase and see that the online shop uses very good security of a provable service. And even the product you buy you might have done a little bit of research into.

With online dating not only should you use caution when selecting a dating service to use (that’s why we have reviewed more than 500 for you) you should do some simple search engine searches (google him/her) and maybe even check out their profile on social networking sites.

Finding out this type of information should be a basic part of your online dating adventure but remember, doing these steps to check out someone’s background is up to you. I suggest you do them, just to be a little more certain of your personal safety.

You may even want to open an account at “Net Detective” so you can run even more background and criminal checks against someone you might be interested in dating and know a little more about them without having to ask those uncomfortable questions.

And the biggest rule of dating online is this:
Tell a friend where and when you are going and when you will be returning and who you are going to meet. It would be best for you to have a friend “follow you” in a type of undercover security role.
Limit the meeting to a very public place in daylight and set a predetermined time for this date to end.
Never lose sight of your drinks and food. If you have an emergency trip to the bathroom, and you’ve left your food or drink on the table, when you return just order something different saying the food doesn’t agree with your stomach, or something similar.
And call someone when you get home safely. And if at any time you feel uncomfortable, make up an excuse and leave. And call your “security person” that you are headed home before then end of the date.
These rules should cover you for your first three dates, at a minimum.

For the headline of your online dating profile, try this:
“I’m not crazy my mother had me tested.”

Have a great day!

Pickup Online: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Friday – In The Month of Love

Another weekend is upon us, cold, snowy and blowy. A great day to stay in and work on your dating profiles.

Consider this: I’m going to give you a place where you can meet hundreds of men (and women) and get dates. This doesn’t involve pickup lines and hanging out in the grocery store either.

This place allows you to easily introduce yourself exactly how you want to introduce yourself without forced conversations or the timer ticking on your pay-by-minute phone chat line.

I want you to join www.doyoudate.me and kick-start your dating efforts into high gear starting now. (here’s a secret to making the most of your free membership: Drop by the gift store once a day. You can earn bonus points and be able to send some really nice virtual gifts to someone that has caught yout attention. This is a great way to introduce yourself and it’sd available to free members.)

www.DoYouDate.me doesn’t use any headlines in their member dating profiles, so it’s easier for you to talk about yourself and save the witty headlines for different websites. If you need a headline for another dating service, try this one one for size:
“You can start or should I?”

Have a great day!

DoYouDate.me: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Sunday

I’m going to be the one that’s all wrapped up in a big, soft quilt, watchig football and dreaming of warmer climates.

It’s winter and I am cold! Ugh!

You probably have a day full of laundry and shopping to catch up on last week and prepare for the coming week. Good for you. It’s only through the efforts of keeping your life going that you’ll be able to earn enough money to pay the tax man what he wants and save a dollar a week for yourself to be used on some fantasy vacation at some point in your future.

Yes, it’s time for the winter blahs.

But it doesn’t have to be so. Onlin edating can be understood as a mission of hope. Hope to brighten your life, to make your everyday existence more interesting by introducing you to people you may hav eotherwise never met.

Sunday’s I often suggest that it’s time to rewrite your profile. Edit some sections of the “About Me” page and talk about your every day life in a positive way.

You can do it. And I suggest you do this now at DoYouDate.me, a dating service that allows you to send free introduction smiles and replies to emails you receive without payin for a membership.

And as you become a free member and complete your new profile consider using this as your profile headline:
“Having a wonderful time, wish you were here!”

Have a great day!

Pain-free: Dating Profile of the Day

2010's last pumpkin picture

2010's last pumpkin picture

Monday

I hope you had a good Halloween weekend.

I expect to hear soon from all the “candy conspiracy buffs” explaining loudly how the candy makers have us all by the balls, during a rather predictable “candy gifting” calendar and the lack of reasonable gifts under $20.00 for people you just don’t give a damn about any more.

That being said, I’d also like to offer a chocolaty thank you to all the kids that didn’t appear at my door last night so I now have a reasonable stash of mini candy bars for a while.

Next on the calendar is Thanksgiving, Black Friday and then, of course, Christmas. Of course don’t forget that winter will be mixed in which also means that next Sunday clocks fall back and we’ll get an hour of extra sleep on payment of sunset at 4:30 and earlier until the winter solstice on December 21. Now the extra hour sleep is one thing I like about fall.

Wow that’s a lot of info for one post (feel free to read a couple of times and maybe email to a friend or two too).

So let’s skip ahead to today’s dating profile headline:
“Do you know a pain-free way to get spirit-gum off the face?”

Have a great day!

Cupid’s Arrow: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Cupid never misses

Cupid never misses

Tuesday

While I was thinking about what to write for today’s headline I came across this interesting post at Gizmodo.com:
Quote
A new Firefox extension lets anyone sharing an open wireless network at your neighborhood café or workplace easily access your Facebook, Twitter and myriad other online accounts. It’s a terrifying tool designed to highlight a longstanding problem. Seattle programmer Eric Butler’s new Firesheep extension can show you a graphical list of the online accounts of everyone sharing an open wifi network with you. With one click on an icon, you’re instantly logged in as them.
End Quote [Read the complete article about "Firesheep" and why you should be concerned here]

Now, of course, this “someone logging into your personal facebook or gmail or other account” won’t affect everybody and might not even happen to you but it will certainly affect someone you know.

You’ve been warned.

Now, as for today’s personal headline of the day, let’s go with something we know will get a reaction:
“Think of this headline as Cupid’s arrow from my heart to yours.”

Today’s online dating tip is for Match.com users: When you update your profile, headline or pictures there can be an up to 24 hour wait for your profile to be available to be seen by other members but your profile will be ranked higher in browse and search results giving you better opportunities for your profile to be seen. As well, if you’re a paid member your “unapproved status” will usually be quite a bit less, with your profile edits being approved in as little as a couple of hours.

Have a great day!

Match.com “Like at first sight” quiz

If you’re not a current member of Match.com then you’ve got to join and try the new tool “Like at first sight”.

“Like at first site” is a quiz that will help the matching system of Match personals to better understand you and the people you should be matched up with. Throughout this test you’re asked to select which ever you like the most out of a group of photos or audio samples.

It’s a fun 13 part quiz that starts off with asking you to select the photo of a celebrity (of the opposite sex for heterosexual members) that you like. You don’t get any names to go with the photos, but I don’t really think their name would make much of a difference. Then select a body type photo (step 2).

Then the shape of a face (female faces are shown for male members, vice versa for women members, step 3).

A variety of body parts (some naked!) is shown for step four, such as arms, hips, legs, lips, backs, smiles, etc.

Step five are hairstyles, step six is asking you to pick from different types of ways women dress (no naked option here, lol).

Which detail do you notice most about a woman is step 7 and step 8 photo is which do you find sexier than the others.

Listening to three different female voice files is step nine (this is optional, you can skip if you want) and the step ten question, is which type of women “do you gravitate to” by again selecting one photo from the group. Step 11 is selecting a photo of a woman that you “wish you gravitated to”.

Select a photo of an activity you think brings couples closer for step 12 and select a photo of what you consider a great date activity is in step 13 and finally answer the question “I like it when a woman orders” by selecting the photo represented.

At the end of the quiz you will be shown the profiles of four Match.com members (and up to 25 matches) that could be good matches for you.

This is a fun quiz that helps Match.com find members more suited to you and you’ll have fun taking the quiz too. Who knows, maybe there’s a real relationship waiting to be found at the conclusion of the test. You won’t know if you don’t that the “Like at first sight” quiz so start a free membership and take the quiz now at Match.com.

One thing I like about… eharmony.com

One thing I like about… eharmony.com is that they are still in the top ten of online dating services, almost from the first day when they came online 10 years ago.

eharmony.com has managed quite a few storms, not the least being called a religious fanatical dating service catering and dishing up a modified version of christian morals, then bending (almost breaking) under threat of lawsuit for excluding gay and lesbian members in the USA from the dating service.

But with more than 550 marriages daily between members, I can say with certainty that a l.ot ofpeople begand and ended their search for that someone special with eharmony.com.

The only question is, will you be next?

One thing I like about Perfectmatch.com

Perfectmatch.com

Perfectmatch.com

I have been a fan of Perfectmatch.com for a long time, just over 6 years. Perfectmatch.com has been featured in many tv shows and movies as the online dating destination of choice and it’s easy, I’m sure, to work with a company that has a great reputation for doing well what is says it can do.

It’s all about compatibility matching. Perfectmatch.com does that extremely well.

It could be because of their signature “Duet Analysis” system, that matches you with other members based on an unique srt of questions and answers and it could be because you are also available to search and browse members on your own, and choose your own compatible matches.

You have to be a paid member to send and reply to messages but sending |Icebreakers is free and it’s a great way to introduce yourself.

Whether the wallet is really tight this month or not, you need to give Perfectmatch.com a try.
