Online Dating 101 - Online Dating Basics

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By Kevin Koger Online Dating 101by Kevin Koger Feeling like theres something thats just not quite there yet in how youre going about this whole online dating thing? Dont feel bad, chances are youre one of the many people whore still pretty new to this gig. Heck, internet dating has only been around for about eight years, so obviously no one out there can claim to have all the answers. But hey, seeing that we’ve been perfecting the art of matching people up online all eight of those years, wed like to share a little of what weve learned about how to make the best of your online experience. Who knows, one of these pointers might be just what youve been missing in perfecting your own online dating adventures. Therefore, without further ramblings, here are the: TOP 10 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL ONLINE DATING SAY CHEESE!Look your best and submit a great photo of yourself for your profile photo. A good picture really is worth a thousand words, and research shows that you are nearly 10 times more likely to be noticed if you post a photo to your profile. And, the same stats hold true when you contact someone youve noticed on the site. If you dont have a photo, dont be surprised if the responses arent too quick in coming back. Now, dont get mad a start making accusations about all the shallow people out there. While it may be true that some people place too much emphasis on physical appearances, the bottom line is it does make a difference when two people are meeting and making initial evaluations of their interest in each other. And, its also a trust thing. It is always going to be much easier to interact with a face than with a blank box. FRESH IS GOODChange your profile picture and greeting occasionally, add photos to your photo album, and login regularlythis will not only get you noticed, but it will help others get a more varied and up-to-date idea of what constitutes the real you. When something interesting happens in your life, tell us about it in your profile greeting. This is a great way to let your online friends in on what it might be like to actually spend time with you. Thats the main goal of online dating isnt it, to find people youd finally like to meet and spend time with face-to-face? Anyways, its always more fun to hear about a crazy experience youve just had than to read the same old descriptions of you and your cat that have been on your profile for months now. As for photo albums, this is the icing on the cake. Not only do these photos round out and confirm the physical picture your friends are forming of you, but they also go a long way in helping others really see what makes you you. The head and shoulders shot of you in your profile photo is nice and all, but when they see you hanging 10, running with your Chihuahua, or shoving a big fat piece of cheesecake in your mouth now theyre getting to know you. I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MEHave fun describing yourself without making excuses about why you’re on the site or who convinced you to finally go online. Tell us what makes you unique. Believe it or not, being an online dater no longer places you on the fringes of society or even in the minority. Online dating has grown up and moved into the mainstream, and so you can now happily assume that the face-saving qualifiers of past times online are now obsolete. And, more importantly, just realize that they dont help your cause when meeting others online. One more thing try to be original. Yes, Im sure you really do like the outdoors and want to meet someone who looks good in a tux and in jeans, but so does everyone else! Tell us some things about yourself that wouldnt necessarily come out in an elevator conversation with your tax accountant. For example, what are you passionate about? What would you do if no longer had to work for a living? Whats your favorite flavor of gelato? Do you secretly wish everyday was sampling day at the grocery store? now it getting interesting! HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICYDon’t be fooled thinking telling fibs will impress that special someone enough to get relationship started… it will turn them off! Be your best self. When you really stop and think about it, what do you think your new friends reaction is going to be if when you meet for the first time its obvious youre not the person they thought they were going to be meeting? Oh .. hi. I see that youve been dishonest with me from the get-go here, but hey, Im still thinking weve got a great shot at having an open, trusting relationship for the long-term Obviously not. Theyre going to be hurt, and disappointed. And, your relationship is unlikely to get past the wave goodbye as your friend gets back in their car to go home. IT’S NICE TO BE NICEOkay, so you get a little grouchy once in a whiledont we all? However, people like nice people. Please be considerate and polite it will make this whole online thing so much more enjoyable for all of us! Theres an interesting social phenomenon researchers have discovered in online interactions. Theyve found people often change their standards of politeness and diplomacy when a conversation is happening online, versus face-to-face. Dont believe it? You might be surprised if you were to go back and look at some of the things youve said. Look at some messages youve sent, and then consider saying the exact same words in a face-to-face or a telephone conversation. Sound a little rough? Dont feel too bad, it happens to the best of us, just try to keep this in mind the next time youre typing out an email or instant message. One more thingplease dont ignore people. A quick thanks, but no thanks note is so much better than no reply at all. In fact, next time youre replying to a message on the site, check out the new Thanks but No Thanks template. Its a quick way to nicely let someone know youre not interested in corresponding. YOU CAN PICK YOUR FRIENDS Invite your friends along! Create Activity Groups, go on group dates, try Express Dating, enjoy travel events, and just enjoy the net together. After all, instant messaging alone isnt enough to build solid relationships. Group dating and group events simply make a lot of sense for online dating. Not only does it make those first dates less stressful, it often makes them more fun, and it definitely makes first meetings a much safer proposition. Have you ever tried Activity Groups? Theyre a great way to meet people with common interests in a safe, fun group setting. You can join a group thats already been created, or you can create your own and invite all your friends to join and their friends and their friends you get the point. BREAK OUTA THAT SHELLDont be afraid to make the first contact. Online dating makes it easy for all you shy ones out there to break the ice, because you get to do all the initial getting to know each other from the comfort and safety of your own computer. To start, just send a Flirt or a quick email message saying Hiand do it often! You might be surprised how many of our great members suffer from lack of attention from their online peers. Not only might you find someone with whom youre very interested in maintaining contact, but youll probably be making someones day. EXPAND YOUR HORIZONSIf your first internet efforts havent turned up the perfect one, dont despair. Hundreds of new people sign up every day on the site, so just come back to see Whos New. You may also want to consider expanding your searchesdont be too intent on sticking to your itemized checklist for eternal mates. You might also want to try some different searches from time to time. Because there are about a million different things you might find attractive in another person, its nice to mix up the criteria youre searching on once in a while. For example, you can search by their Occupation, any Keyword or combination of keywords you can think of, and many others. UH OH THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE FUN!Dont be afraid to have some fun along your path to relationship happiness! Enjoy getting to know people and understand that many happy relationships and even marriages start with a good ol friendship. And, dont rush it! Youve heard animals can sense fear? Well, we humans can be pretty perceptive as well (except for that one guy who just cant take a hint). So, dont think others cant sense when youre frustrated, dejected, conceited, holier than thou, fed up, etc. etc. Put a smile on, and enjoy the ride, because even if the first few people you meet arent Mr./Mrs. Right, it doesnt mean you cant have some fun in good conversations with them. You may also need to be a little bit patient as you head off into the brave new world of online dating. Not all marriages are love at first site, and even if yours is, it may take a lot of looking before you site that special someone. And so, once again enjoy the ride! USE YOUR NOODLEYa know, that gray matter between your ears? That’s your noodle. Use it!

7 Suggestions for Choosing a College When the College Chooses You

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By J.K. Dennis How do I choose a college that is right for me? This is the question that Im asked at least once a week. And frankly, it isnt easy trying to explain to students (and their parents) one very basic fact of the college admissions process: You dont choose the college. The college chooses you. Here is a very simple way you can look at this complicated process. You and a crowd of high school graduates are standing on one side of a big field. Each one of you desperately wants to go to a good college. On the other side of the field are all the colleges and universities that exist in the country. After assessing your qualifications (merit), you send applications to all of the schools that you wish to attend. The admissions officer at those schools sends you a letter of acceptance or rejection. Out of your acceptances, you pick one college and walk across that field and through the doors of that particular institution. For different reasons, different students will go to different colleges and some will not go at all. Did you make the choice or did someone make it for you? Usually, the college makes the choice for you. You get to choose from those schools that actually choose you. For the most part, the people who work in college admissions are gatekeepers. They can accept or reject your application at will. If necessary, they can come up with some pretty convincing evidence to support their decisions: high or low entrance exam scores, excellent or poor grades, outstanding or terrible writing samples, or an abundance or lack of extracurricular activities. Based on such criteria, it seems as if everybody in that big open field is getting a fair shot based on merit. But this only disguises some of the built in advantages that go to you if you are a student who has the right background. The reality is that most students just dont have the right background. Supposedly, the good news about higher education is that it is egalitarian. Regardless of your background, there is a college on the other side of that field that fits you–all the way from the community college with its open door admissions policy to the elite university with its not-so-open door admissions policy. It seems as if that great tracking system you thought you escaped in high school tracks you right into college and your place in society. So are you going to choose or be chosen? With very few exceptions, most of you will be chosen. It hurts me to say that because it suggests that there is something terribly twisted about our entire educational system. Maybe, it is. Maybe, it isnt. Until the verdict comes in, heres what I suggest you do: Suggestion #1 Know that the college admissions process is a game mostly decided by people who must make assumptions about you, your abilities, and your potential. Suggestion #2 Know that most colleges cannot afford to be overly selective or theyd go out of business. Suggestion #3 Know that your determination and your ideas can lead you to success, in spite of your background. Suggestion #4 Know that going to an elite college doesnt necessarily mean you will get a good education and a high-status career. Suggestion #5 Know that going to a community college doesnt necessarily mean you will get a bad education and a dead-end job. Suggestion #6 Know that you are always much more than where you go to college and the amount of tuition you are able to pay. Suggestion #7 Not only should you know thisyou have to believe it. J.K.

Nice People and Employees in Your Business Makes the Difference

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

By Lance Winslow It has often been said that quality of products and service is the key to business success and for the most part it is indeed fact. Now then many marketing consultants say that; Nice People is the icing on the cake. In fact this is also true. You cannot train people to be nice, you have to hire nice people. You cannot increase someones pay and expect their attitude to change over night, it will not happen that easy. You see there are nice people, pleasant people and just great down to Earth People; then there are manipulators, BSers, complainers and ugly people too. Find good people and pay them what they are worth so they stay with your company. Nice people and employees in your business will make the difference. As a former franchising founder, I always found that I could not seem to re-train hostile people to be nice people, no matter how hard I tried. You have to find nice people and train them to do the job and promote them and pay them fairly. This is not to say that you can have lousy products or service, that too must be tops. Often I ask a trick question of my franchisees crews; What is more important Quality or Service? Some times they will attempt to answer with one or the other and then rationalize their answer. The true answer is both and when you throw in nice people, well that really is a slamdunk. Consider all this in 2006. “Lance Winslow” - Online Think Tank forum board.

The Cure for Post Holiday Cravings

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By Chris Kelly With the start of 2006, it is finally time to begin your diet. But after an excess of holiday decadence, ask yourself: how did you handle your holiday cravings? My answer is always the same: this year will be different, but by the time I was confronted by that feast full of sugar laden goodies (a tradition in my family), I came out as stuffed as the turkey I should have eaten. But at least I am not alone. Research by the University of California found sweets, desserts, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages account for nearly 25 percent of all calories consumed by Americans, while fruits and vegetables made up only 10 percent. For many us, it seems that even once the holidays have gone, our cravings seem to linger. But before you consult a twelve step program, you might take a look at your diet. Research findings in the last four decades suggest nutrients found in unprocessed fruits and vegetables play a critical role in controlling addictive behavior. With fast food nearly everywhere you turn, these addictions can wreck havoc on your diet. But some experts say dramatic differences can be realized through proper vitamin supplementation. Read on to learn why you should take your vitamins. Food for thought: Throughout the development of the brain, nutrition plays a key role in behavior. Statistics suggest that high numbers of children stricken with ADHD and other behavioral disorders are deficient in essential fatty acids. In a study conducted at Purdue University researchers found that boys with low blood levels of Omega-3 fatty acids have a greater frequency of Attention Deficit Disorder ADHD. Studies also show that lower levels of essential fatty acids can result in problems with learning, behavior, temper, sleep, and immune function. In adults, imbalances in brain chemistry are a major factor in compulsive behaviors which lead to addiction. Why? Vitamin deficiency is always a concern with brain dysfunction, and the risk of deficiency increases as mental disorder increases. Says Dr. Janet Gilchrest, a nutritionist with the U.S.D.A. agricultural research service. According to Gilchrist, depression, stress, and addictionsuch as cravings you may experience for alcohol, drugs or food– are influenced by certain amino acids found in food. So while some foods set off hunger impulses in the brain. Others act to balance behavior she said. Cravings following a meal are affected by carbohydrates consumed with the protein. Carbohydrates stimulate the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for calming the brain. The more carbohydrates in a meal, the more lethargic you becomewhich explains the crash in energy you might experience after eating a candy bar. By contrast, the brain instantly perks up when fed protein rich meat and dairy products high in tyrosine, an amino acids which influences adrenaline. The importance of combining both is to provide a steady source of energy, while calming impulses which may cause addiction. But with most processed food devoid of essential nutrients, our cravings come as no surprise. A prime culprit: refined sugar. Researchers at the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego, California, reported that rats and mice raised on the rodent equivalent of junk food struggled to find their way around a maze, regularly binged and took longer to remember solutions to problems they had already solved. To quell your cravings, Gilchrist recommends complex carbs and proteins that digest slowly and are unlikely to cause a rapid spike in energy. A traditional example come turkey time, would be a several slices of turkey and a serving of cranberry sauce. By balancing a larger amount of protein with a smaller portion of carbs, the effect is a more gradual release of energy, as well as a prolonged feeling of fullness. Still, for most of us, it is difficult to get these nutrients from diet alone. But luckily dramatic improvements can be had simply from taking your vitamins. More so than any organ in the body, the brain adapts quickly to changes in nutrition said Dr. Gary Farr, author of Understanding the Body. Natural vitamins and minerals are fast becoming a primary treatment for behavioral disorders like addiction, depression, and chronic anxiety Paying attention to the foods necessary to receive complete balance would be a headache in itself. So to keep your cravings under control, here are a few recommendations to supplement your holiday day feast: 1. Phenylalanine: L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid, meaning it must be obtained through diet. L-phenylalanine increases mental alertness and inhibits appetite. Commonly used as an additive to treat alcohol and drug addiction, it has also been shown to cause sexual arousal in some users. L-phenylalanine can be obtained over the counter, and is safe to consume at levels between 500-1500 milligrams a day. 2. Tyrosine: A non essential amino acid, Tyrosine plays an important role in controlling metabolic rate, skin health, mental health, and growth rate. Commonly used as a treatment for depression, Tyrosine has been shown to increase mental alertness and performance. Also used as an appetite suppressant, Tyrosine is recommended at doses between 500-1000 milligrams a day. 3. Vitamin-B12: Good for your heart and your smile, Vitamin B12 is used as a remedy for both high blood pressure and depression. A study published in the journal of BMC Psychiatry measured vitamin B12 levels in 115 drug addicts with major depressive disorder. At the end of the study, participants were grouped according to treatment success. Those who improved the most had higher vitamin B12 levels. Vitamin B12 is best consumed between 1000-2000 milligrams per day. 4. Melatonin: Melatonin is a chemical produced by the brain to help regulate sleep cycles. In addition to being a remedy for insomnia, Melatonin has been reported strengthen the immune system, and reduce free radicals in the body. Melatonin is most effect taken in doses from 1-2 milligrams right before bed time.

Do You Really Need All Those Fancy Vitamins, Pills, Supplements and Drugs?

Monday, July 16th, 2007

By Lance Winslow Many folks go on ridiculous diets, take way too many supplements and partake is a plethora of prescription drugs. Do you really need all those fancy Vitamins, Pills, Supplements and Drugs? Some folks go and starve themselves for a diet and that is very bad for them. You see, I have this theory that whatever my body craves for, that is what I eat. So, if I feel like olives, I eat a small quarter coffee mug full of olives. If I feel like carrots or an apply, that is what I eat. It seems the body tells you what it wants, you just have to listen and educate yourself on all the best things to eat. GarlicOnionsAvacadosBlue berriesFruitnutsfishetc. Recently, I asked an online entrepreneur of such dietary products what they thought of the idea of eating what your body tells you it wants plus water and exercise? She replied; “Suppressing food cravings contributes to weight gain and health problems. The body experiences stress and then the liver sends glucose into the bloodstream, which is converted to fat and typically stored in fat cells if it’s not burned for fuel.” This might be attributed to why people gain so much weight, whether they eat or not. Humans need to eat healthy foods which are nutrient rich. And the nutrition expert I talked with said “Eventually, these products will change the bacterial composition of the gut so that they increasingly crave healthy foods.” So perhaps everyone needs to start exercising and start concentrating on a different plan to controlling their weight? I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007.
