Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Fernando Ardenghi blog site has an unusual angle to the dating industry world and would encourage you to check it out. The article here attempts to debunk dating methods used by dating companies over their proprietary match making technology. Although he doesn’t specially mention why he has listed them as ‘debunked’ his other blog postings does shed more light into the practices of the dating companies to acquire members through clever marketing practice.
In several articles he has gone under the hood of Plentyoffish.com which is one of the largest online free dating sites and has researched (quite well) the methods used to generate money.
In addition to debunking the myths of online dating from the prospective of the company, he does also elaborate the methods that should be employed to keep the industry healthy going forward into the coming years.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This post gives you advise on to how to behave and what to do when you are meeting someone for the first time through online dating.
For first-timers who are new to online dating the first date can be a bit nerve-racking and the post suggest not to look at the whole affair with too much scrutiny. This is good advise and just be yourself and enjoy the moment.
The problem is that some of us lack in confidence and we can also be insecure and the emotional thought of the upcoming event can defeat us and make us feel uncomfortable. What we need to do is build confidence and which can be done through mind conditioning as the article suggests.
The bottom line is that to have a great first date, just be yourself and try to enjoy the moment in time. Don’t try to predict the outcome of the date, you are in the company of another person and talk about things you like to talk about.
meeting someone on a date for the first time can be easy and enjoyable

Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato - Online Dating Site Zoosk’s 2010 Sales Up 250 Percent To $90 Million

Article Subject: Online Dating Site Zoosk’s 2010 Sales Up 250 Percent To $90 Million
Article Link: http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/08/online-dating-site-zoosks-2010-sales-up-250-percent-to-90-million/

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Wow, this story has really grabbed the attention of many people who had mixed feelings and thoughts about the whole zoosk story.
There seems to be plenty of negative comments about the zoosk site in particular how most people thought there many fake profiles and utterly useless to online daters. Several people in their hasty comparison had good things to say about OKCupid.com which was recently acquired by IAC who also happen to own the match.com site.
I think Zoosk is one of those mysterious hypes that come onto the online scene and grabs the attention of the internet audience. The company realizing this formulates a strategy of making money the quickest way possible and continues to feed on the hype making everyone in the company better off than the average Joe on the streets!

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The content of this post is not that newsworthy but the description of the expert can be somewhat useful to some of our users.
Basically Julie Spira has been in the online dating industry since 1994 when she first put up her dating profile. I would be curious to find out which dating site (if any) she had her dating profile. It’s possible it may have been posted in USENET, which is long before the Blogosphere came into existence and the concept of online dating was just an afterthought.
The primary aim of the post is to promote her upcoming show “Ask the Cyber-Dating Expert Show” which will air live at 2pm/EST on Feb. 12th, 2011 and can be heard at CyberDatingExpert.com.
In addition to appearing in many TV shows, Julie Spira has also written various books on Cyber Dating.

Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato - Double Dating: The Best First Date – Top Tips

double dating can be beneficial to first time daters

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Double dating is often overlooked by many as a great way to get to know another person without feeling anxious or nervous about the date. The fact that you have a known couple with you makes the task easier as the article mentions.
However, keep in mind that during double dating, the 4th person may feel uncomfortable knowing that he/she has to contend with three people as opposed to one. This is not usually a problem because the couple are often thought of being in their own group and eases any tension that may arise between the two interested people.
Sometimes having a third person in a meeting/date can also be beneficial particularly if the person is somewhat friendly, at ease with people and has a good sense of humor.
Definitely go on double dates but try to understand the other person’s perspective as to how he/she will feel in the company of many people.
