Your body stature is important to your well being
Wednesday, January 9th, 2013
Why is body stature important to one’s welfare you may very well ask?
A great comedian Peter Sellers once said that the portrayal of characters in his movies would always start from the ‘walk’. This would imply that one’s stature may tell a lot about one’s personality. I have my own ideas regarding this and will explain the importance of why it’s important to have a good stature.
If you observe people carefully, their walk and the way they stand can say a lot about the type of person he/she is. It can effectively describe the persons demure and whether they are soft or aggressive in personality. We can see how Peter Sellers used the walk to define his characters that he would play. If you were sad, the walk would reflect this and you will likely take small and slower steps with a crouched stature. If you were happy, the same body would spring to life and you will likely stand strong in stature with quick, swift movements of your body.
One point to bear in mind when you read self-help books is that trying to change yourself for the better may not be all that effective. Without the genuine interest to change or the desire for the new you, then it would turn into failure. Your body will reflect this and it will be something that others will be able to detect and appear a little bit fake. Your spoken thoughts and words will be in conflict with the movements of your body. This is probably where body language have been effectively used by people to read people’s inner thoughts outside of what they say or do.
To better yourself in both mind and body, you should use your body as a barometer. If you wanted to improve a particular trait in yourself, look to your body movement, posture and stature and see if it has made any difference. You will probably need to work a bit harder or change certain aspects of your training to harmonize and bring balance to the two. Next time, you are looking to self-improve, look at your body and stature and see what this is telling you.

5 things you need to know about your date to get you off to a flying start
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013
1. Establish trust
There is no point in pursuing a relationship if you cannot be honest with the other person. This is why it’s vitally important to be as truthful as possible on your dating profile. You don’t need to resort to those techniques if you think outside the box and look into how creative you can be. Look at our many previous blog posts on this subject. At this stage you also want your guard up and men can learn from the women on instinctual matters. Observing your dating partner and listening to your inner voice can tell you a lot about your partner and whether they are hiding something that will be important to you. The funny thing about relationships are that what one thinks looks bad on the dating partner is in fact not an issue at all, so please keep this in mind.
2. Listens to you
Pay attention whether your partner is really listening to you. This is important as you can expect to spend more time with this person. Remember your time is just as important as theirs and it’s possible that some people are quiet and will allow the other person to speak more. If you do fall into this category, look for your partner to pause for a moment and to ask you a question.
3. Things in common
Generally its a good idea for you and your dating partner to have some things in common but it doesn’t have to be exactly this way. Don’t feel afraid if their interests are far removed from your own because the common thread that bonds people together are usually more deeper than this. The qualities of trust, ability to listen, empathy for the other person and an affection for each other are the ingredients for a good long-term relationship.
4. Be attracted to each other
Naturally attraction plays an important part in a relationship, without this there will be no cohesion or interest in pursuing the date beyond the first meeting. However, don’t base your relationship entirely on looks alone since the personality and character of your date will determine how you both get along.
5. Do they make you feel good
If you listen to your inner voice, you may have a nice feeling inside of you. This would be a good indicator that you are both on common ground and there is a good chance of success in this new pairing.
This is not the complete list to look for when you are dating for the first time but they are important points to keep in mind during your first date. Send us some of your own thoughts and ideas on this valuable topic and tell us how first time daters can benefit.

The trick is to be around people to get more dates
Monday, January 7th, 2013
I came upon a single friend recently and he said to me that a recent change in his work has got him away from his desk job and into a new role where he is going out to meetings. He also said that he was really surprised by the number of people he was meeting and was enjoying the many people that he met through these meeting. In addition he said with a smirk on his face, that he also came across many single women. Meeting new people had struck a new chord with him and he genuinely seemed to enjoy his new role and as a result he also felt that his chances of finding that elusive partner had increased significantly.
It occurred to me that many people have various jobs that entails much or little contact with other people. If you did a statistical calculation of which kind of folks get many dates, I bet it would be the group who invite more new people into their lives through their jobs, hobbies etc. It then occurred to me that going out to events simply to find dates is in fact the wrong thing to do. The best possible way to get dates is to get yourself in front of new people whenever the opportunity arises. I took my friends information to heart and realized he was absolutely right.
There is a popular website called meetup.com that has groups on every kind of interest that you can think of. As I was interested in entrepreneurship and technology, a simple search in my local area where I lived churned out 30 or so meetings happening in the next week. I then joined and rsvp to some of these upcoming meetings. After having attended a few of these meetings, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of single people I had met in the events. I am pretty certain that just by attending these events or any events that hosts people, you will very likely find people who are also single. Remember this is very different to having an agenda of going out to find a single partner. These events are much more natural and approaching people is far easier than in single events where there is an agenda on the plate.
My advice to single folks out there…do not go to single events designed to hookup singles but go to events that interests you. In this way you are much more likely to approach other folks without an agenda and you are far more likely to come across many singles that will be to your own liking.

Ideas for getting your personality across in online dating - YouTube Video
Sunday, January 6th, 2013
Getting your personality across from your online dating profile can be a challenging task. Your photos and description may give you a good idea of what your personality is like but nothing can beat a video.
In the early 80s video dating was a huge phenomenon and many dating companies would take video interviews of people to add to their large portfolio list. They would show other members potential dates including their video interview for a cost. This continued for a while and was hugely popular but it quickly faded as quickly as it came. There were a number of reasons for this and this included the length of time it would take to sit through the videos. The other main reason for its demise was due to the matchmaking company not being able to select the right people for each other. Matchmaking is one of the hardest things to do because as explained in previous blog compatibility figures in online dating sites, it is very difficult to match people together because of the complex nature of human beings.
One important aspect that video dating was missing was conveying the personality of the individual in it’s own comfortable setting. There is something to be said that a picture is like a thousand words and the same can be said for videos. However the essential missing point is what the picture or video shows to the viewer. Here, we will show you how to create the perfect video that is sure to bring out the best in your personality. If you reflect back to the time when you had the most fun, you would surely mention an activity or fun thing that you have always loved and enjoyed doing. This should be the starting point of your personality video that you are going to make and put onto your dating profile.
Firstly, pick out one of your favorite topics that you can talk about and demonstrate without too much trouble. If you don’t have someone to record, then put your digital camera on a tripod and record your video this way. It’s much simpler than you think. Make sure there is sufficient light for the video and that its easy for viewers to see without squinting. Run a few tests before doing the actual video or do several videos and edit them online using the popular Microsoft video editing tool. The video doesn’t have to be aimed at your face or the whole body, it can point to the table where you are doing some activity. The important thing is that your voice is clearly heard or you are providing the right instructions in the video overlay. Add music to the video to make it interesting but this is optional.

The next part of the task is to upload your video and adding a link to your dating profile. Uploading a video to YouTube is a simple task. Once the video has been finalized which will be usually in mp4 format, you can simply go to YouTube.com, setup an account if you have none and you will be ready to upload your video. Give it a title and short description and you are done. Once you have uploaded you will have access to a shared link (below the video) which you copy and and paste into your dating profile. On the dating profile of your dating site, go to the section where you can describe more about yourself or hobbies and add a brief description along with the link to the YouTube video.
Thats it! You are now a unique member which will make your dating profile stand out from the crowd and will have curious members opening up your video. Don’t worry about creating the perfect video since you are not running for the Oscars, you are just trying to convey the best in your personality through this homemade video. This is a valuable piece of information which static online dating profiles cannot do just by itself.
