Online dating tips for women - Part 2 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Saturday, March 5th, 2011
Article Subject: Online dating tips for women - Part 2
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
In part 1 we discussed how the online dating scene can be somewhat a ’shock’ for some people especially women who have just started using this medium to find potential suitors.
Preparing yourself with some knowledge gleaned from here can help you stay on the right track without becoming too frustrated by the whole process of online dating. As mentioned previously, the accessibility of the online medium does open the doors to many people with many different backgrounds and personalities. Think of it this way, you are entering a night club where there are hardly any bouncers at the door and everyone is pretty much ‘good to go’ in this establishment of meeting like minded singles.
So you can imagine the types of people that can be found in the ‘bar’ from all age groups, orientations, religion, beliefs, sex gender, even some people with just a passing interest in dating can be found here.
It would be unfair to say there are no screening of any kind going on at the dating site ‘door’, some sites like Jumpdates.com do in fact screen all new members by hand, so only a good and serious crowd with real intentions stay on the site.
could online dating be compared to night clubs without the bouncers?

Online dating tips for women - Part 1- Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Article Subject: Online dating tips for women - Part 1
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Online dating has come a long way and offers the potential for singles to meet other singles online and creates a very accessible channel to meet people and much more so than the traditional way of meeting people such as bars, clubs etc.
The proliferation of many dating sites some 100% free and others a monthly paid service have come as a result of this insatiable demand, however, one needs to treat this entire online dating scene with some respect. In the same way that women are wary about meeting strangers at bars or single events, the same applies to the online scene. The online pool will consist of many types of people especially men and depending on the types of dating sites that you sign-up to, you may come across many men that are not suited or anywhere near to your liking.
Because of the ease at which people can throw up an online profile, it means you need to dig deeper than just the profile to ensure that your initial impression of this person is qualified and not over or under rated.
In part 2 we will look closer into how to spot signs that can tell you the difference between a good and a bad online dating profile.

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 26 (Conclusion) - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Saturday, March 5th, 2011
Article Subject: 26. Conclusion - Other resoureces to turn to for locating great dating websites.
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
We have covered the many ways of using the search engines especially Google to locate great free dating websites and to be observant in areas where it will save you a great deal of time and effort down the line.
The recommendations and suggestions noted in this series are by no means a complete set and you can turn to many other channels to refine your search and save you precious time. Some of these include going to the library and looking at ‘online dating’ related material on this subject and also don’t be shy about asking the clerk to help you.
As it just happens, the public library is taking an interest in this area by presenting useful seminars similar to this event I have reported earlier, Looking for love? Start at the public library.
Finally, don’t overlook the obvious, for example, your daily encounters with other people who can not only help you with referrals to quality dating sites but may even introduce you to singles who are in the same boat. Keep all your options open and most important of all, don’t give up too easily. Good Luck!
networking can open up doors to a world that you could not have contemplated
– The End –

Review of Paid Dating Site – Indiancupid.com - Part 2
Saturday, March 5th, 2011
The second step of the registration requires your basic details including your appearance like eye color, hair color, height, body type etc. you also need to give details about your lifestyle like smoking, drinking, marital status, occupation and about your background and cultural values.
I did not like that the site asks you questions about your father, mother, brothers, sisters and their marital status because this information may have been useful in a previous generation but now, it no longer applies.
The third and final step is to give information about your match followed by a confirmation email that contains your login details information.
Login & Customizing Profiles
It is disappointing to know that the site does not log you in automatically after sign up and you will need to go back to the site and login. Although not a big deal, these tiny details add to the whole users experience.
After you login you will see the user menu at the top which contains online members, mails, lists, search, my profile and settings.
Customization through the site is easy and you can edit your profile, my matches, personality, cupid tags interests and videos and you can also change your password and email notification settings.
