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.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
A rather interesting discussion on a forum board where users have been asked to write about their experiences of online dating.
Having read through the replies, it would seem that many people not only have mixed success on the dating sites but they are still adamant and slightly fearful of some of these dating sites. I guess to some degree, it is the same emotional feeling one gets when some think about the prospect of finding that ‘right’ someone in their daily lives.
Although we hear a great deal about how all these dating sites out there are have changed everyones lives by making connections, marriages, lasting relationships and finding true love, a majority of us can still be doubtful as to its effectiveness. I would put this down to a very human thing and for whatever reasons all of us still have anxieties, hangups, insecurities that needs to be crossed to make us believe that it can work for us.
We may need to renew our faith in ourselves to find success in dating

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The title of this article is not fitting to the content of this article. It should be more like “How to create the perfect profile to attract the must-have men out there”. Nevertheless, the article does make several good points especially to people who want to improve their chances in the online dating world.
It focuses initially on the female profiles where the needs of a woman may come often come across differently than the online profile suggests. The writer recommends to be honest and use creative ways to express yourself instead of rambling on about what you want in the other partner. For example, talk about action items such as “planning a bicycle trip, writing a book and redecorating my living room.” Also, “I’m a good friend and a good listener and right now I have a friend going out of town and I’m dog-sitting for her poodle,” Action items are what men usually look for and if woman want a man who is wealthy and ambitious, they should reflect some of that in their nature.
For men, an ideal profile would be more verbiage since women like to know that the man has more substance.
Ironically, the message seems to be that women should write more bullet points whereas men should put more verbiage against their profile.
writing online dating profiles can be different for men and women
