Friday’s Conversation Topics
News that you might have missed this past week that makes for great conversations…
Even if this is just my idea of things to talk about.
I mean, it’s hard to figure some people out so you have to just keep talking until they open up.
But what you say is just as important as how you say it, so speak clearly and carefully.
And start with some fun conversation topics like:
- The Big Internet Names Sued For Privacy Violations. Now, I know as well as you do that in this free-styling-information-sharing-world the most important identity is our own. The question is “How much of ourselves do we sign over to social networking sites, email services, etc.?” Do you think this lawsuit filed this week has merit? You’ll notice I’m not using any names here, I’ll let the article speak for itself. Certainly a must read for all of us, if only for enlightenment.
- 3 Child Shootings in 1 Week in Western Washington State. I don’t know what I’m scared of more, the access children have to guns or the fact that they’re so many guns apparently just lying around. Something has to be done and if it means the mother and her boyfriend spend 5 years in jail than so be it. That’ll make for great encouragement for parents to lock up their weapons, or at the very least, if you’re a convicted felon, don’t have any guns at all.
- This is so gross all I’m going to say is that it’s so gross. — Then there’s just stupid.
- Why she wants to get out of her bra. No, not because of you, dude, because 8 out of 10 women say they never fit well. Dammit. With bonus pics of young woman in various bras and panties. Ok, it’s worth a look at the article at least.
- You can’t make this stuff up!” 30 minutes later plumber gets kingsnake out of toilet. Clorox Greenworks failed this test… LOL
Have a great weekend!
A Surprise: Personal Ad Headline of the Day
A Treasure Inside
That is, if they’re not trying to kill me. S.
But I digress. Surprises are great.
Everyone loves unwrapping that big box, peeking under the lid slowly so not to ruin the moment.
And finding that true, loving treasure inside.
People can be that treasure, you just have to get past the wrapping, which may be attractive to some but not others. Take that thought with you this weekend (at eharmony.com, maybe?).
For your personal ad headline today give this a shot at the title:
“I’m an early Christmas present!”
Have a great day!
HowAboutWe.com – Is It Good Enough For You?
I recently reviewed the dating service “HowAboutWe.com” and I have to say that I am a little impressed with this fairly new dating service (about 18 months old) but I have some very deep reservations as well. Let’s dig in:
WHAT THEY SAY: Now online dating is all about getting offline. Just say “How about we…” and post the dates you want to go on.
WHAT I FOUND: I can’t really be certain if HowAboutWe.com is just another fad in the online dating world or if they really have something unique to bring to the dating experience.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND: Easy to join, a few minutes worth of “must answer” questions before you get a good look. Low membership costs but without paying you’ll never be certain what you’re getting here. Straight, same sex and even something for couples (!?) available.
Read the complete review here.

Getting There: Personal Ad Headline of the Day
A Happier Life
There is no where so lonely as the path we walk alone. But being alone is often not a choice.
believe me, I’ve spoken to and advised enough people who feel they have nowhere to turn to find the love they seek.
No friends, no companions, no future for love.
And it’s heart-wrenching. But honestly, life doesn’t have to be so desperate.
We have choices to make and decisions to live by. Lose that weight, get some exercise, do something for yourself that isn’t selfish such as volunteering somewhere for an hour a week.
When you get involved people will get involved with you, usually to a happy life.
For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“Like you, I am seeking a happier life.”
Have a great day!
Go Out For A Walk In The Sun: Personal Ad Headline of the Day
Happily Ever After
Someone is your “better half”. You might not believe it now, or have a totally different picture in your mind as to what that person is like, but I am here to clarify things: They are waiting for you to make your move!
Now I’m not talking about the so-called “Power of positive thinking” stuff that appears every few years in one form or another as the latest “Personal perfection technique” bull-crap.
I’m talking about the real knot you feel as you pass someone by on the street and you know, at that moment, that if you had a second chance, if you stopped them, smiled and said a simple hello, that you’d have a “Happily ever after” occurring right now in your life.
The next time you have that feeling, pull a stick of gum out of your pocket and say to the person “I have a small gift for you”.
You life just might make that ending yet!
For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“I think I saw you in the ‘Happily ever after’ of my life”.
Have a great day!
Everybody Else Is Doing It: Personal Ad Headline of the Day
Enjoy today!
I know, not a fair question. And we’re not kids anymore either, are we?
I don’t know why but I feel so non-energized on Mondays. Holidays never come at the right times or often enough, am I right?
Sure, too many questions to start a day like today, I know… forgive me?
Dammit. Did it again.
Ok, enough of this dribble, try this for your personal ad headline today:
“We can get together soon, just need to know a little bit more about you.”
Have a great day!
My “Monday Anthem”
Springing Forward
Don’t forget: tonight (or rather Sunday morning) the clocks move ahead one hour.
Do it now, don’t pay the price tomorrow.
Cheers!
Life is a Bus Ride: Personal Ad Headline of the Day
Take life for a ride.
Try this out and be ready to explain it as best you can when you’re asked:
“Life is a bus ride, hop on!”
Have a great day!
Taking Charge: Personal Ad Headline of the Day
Be strong. Take charge.
It’s true. Except for those “A Types” that need to be the alpha in charge, we like to be directed with a strong hand, taking the opportunities of making mistakes off our shoulders.
Of course, letting someone else decide the direction when you’re supposed to be the captain of your own ship often has dire and unexpected consequences.
You need to be the leader, not the follower, to win at love. Be decisive, don’t take the person you’d otherwise never be with be the one you say you love, because when it’s not true, when the other person so under-classes you, your life will explode.
I’m certain we all either have had this happen to us or know someone that has gone through this type of “disaster relationship”.
Be strong. Take charge. It’s YOUR FUTURE at risk, first and foremost.
For your personal ad headline give this a try:
“I think we’d make a great couple, once we get to know each other!”
Have a great day!
Merry-Go-Round: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Your first, second and third date plans?
It’s important to not get overwhelmed, stories of women receiving hundreds of replies to their profile isn’t unheard of.
And for the men? Well, let’s say that a great profile and several photos make all the difference in getting a response at all.
Online dating isn’t really all that slanted towards women, they just happen to get more attention from other men because a lot of guys, well, they’re thinking quantity over quality.
A woman “sees” the date potential, a man thinks with his penis.
Yes, blunt, but true.
If you really want to be successful with online dating decide what your true goal is and find the dating service that wants to meet that goal. You’ll be disappointed a lot less and probably hve a much better time with the people you do meet.
For the headline of your online personal ad give this a try:
“Dinner at a nice place for our third date, let’s meet for coffee to plan it out.”
Have a great day!
