Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Here is an interesting article which tries to grapple with the ongoing mystery of whether like attracts like and if two misfits are better suited to each in terms of personality.
Two new websites have sprung up to bring people together with similar tastes, the first Cupidtino.com which is a take on the Apple website but not affiliated with them tries to bring together fans of Apple products into the dating scene. As expected a majority of the member base are Apple employees. The idea originated when the founder said that his girlfriend was pestering him for paying more attention to his gadgets over her.
The second site Tastebuds.fm is for music lovers and the concept behind this site is to bring relationships together with common musical interests.
Although, I would agree that having similar tastes in music or electronic gadgets can reinforce the relationships, I do not feel that we should put such paramount importance to them. I believe the sites developed so far are just another angle in the marketing campaigns to entice new members to join. If you were to examine the conversations taking place between the members of the site, I would imagine that couples would pretty quickly exhaust all possibilities of the topics of conversation in gadgets and music!
Now lets see “What was your name again?
I have a lot to offer as a companion, as I am a very loving person that enjoy giving and receiving attention & affection. I am a honest and fair person. I love to laugh and I believe laughter is good for our souls! I’m looking for someone who is sweet & kind, I’m looking for a best friend & a lifetime partner. I like to travel & see new places or neat things. On a nice day you can usually find me working in the yard, planting flowers, landscaping, or doing something around my home. I enjoy music and will never pass up a slow dance with that special someone! Cooking is a favorite pastime of mine but I also enjoy dining out. Family is very important to me and I hope it is to you also..I am looking for someone who wants to be a team…2 is always better than 1! There are many other things I enjoy… fishing, camping, bike rides, quiet evenings, movies, cookouts, swimming, yard sales, and much more. I don’t have any children…however, not by choice. As I said …looking for love, not for looks. However, there must be an attraction for there to be a fire, being a kind person, I find, is attractive also. Any questions…just ask!
I am woman who has my faith as my foundation,my patience and giving self as the building blocks, and, as I have been told… a heart as big as Texas. I wish to love someone for the rest of my life. To wake up with him by my side, knowing that no matter what happens…I’ll be able to have his loving arms to come home to. To share everything with him.To talk to him about our own ideas, our dreams,the little things that make us laugh.. and the not so little things that we can’t help worrying about. I want to give him my love…a pure love -as a place that he can come to for acceptance or the simple comfort that silence brings when words left unspoken can still be understood. I want to grow old with him, to watch our life unfold, our dreams, one by one, to become our reality.I’m looking for someone who has a good sense of humor, is easy going, has a positive outlook, is open-minded and mature. I would describe myself as kind, thoughtful and compassionate. I was extremely shy when I was a little girl which I think has often resulted in some people mistakenly thinking I’m snobbish or aloof; now I’m just a little reserved until I get to know someone. I’m not a drama queen or a whiner. I like to laugh and I like to think my kids keep me young. I enjoy good books, movies and like to cook and bake. I enjoy nature and the outdoors but am not really athletic. I love music (pop and country, some stuff from other genres) and the arts in general. I tend to lead a fairly quiet life. I would prefer to snuggle on the couch with someone I care about than go to an amusement park (don’t really like crowds)
