Creative activities give you more of a polished look to your personality
1. Arts
I know many of you especially women will instantly use the Arts token to figure out how cultured your dating partner is. If he shows no interest, you can likely count your dating partner to enjoy the simple pleasures in life and has yet to gravitate towards an appreciation for fine arts. However, don’t dismiss your partner based on his lack of interest in arts, maybe he has an interest in history and a trek to a history museum might spark off his creative side. Get a good book on Arts from your nearest book-seller and just browse through it at your leisure. It will help you get an appreciation of the famous arts and artists of our time and why they were famous. It could spark an interest in you where you will develop an affinity for some style of arts.

2. Cooking
Here is a real test of a man’s independence and prowess. A man who can cook is almost an instant turn on for many women. This shows a man of not only a sensitive side and a cultured interest in cuisine but also shows that he has creative depth. Now days, not all women can cook and this puts you in par as men who also cannot cook. It doesn’t take much effort to learn to cook, start off with simple dishes and expand from there. It is better if you are health conscious as this will help you to design the dishes you want to eat. Eating in can be a fun experience for both you and your dating partner.
3. Writing
It’s a sad fact that both men and women do not pursue writing aside from the work they do. Although there are avid readers in our age, there are a very few writers. Writing helps you to think and articulate better and also gives you much better grasp of concepts. You will be surprised how easily you can write once you practice on a regular basis. It doesn’t have to be a routine thing, just once or twice a day per week for half an hour or so will open up this creative side inside of you.

Datehookup and Ease of Navigation - Free Dating Service Review - Part 3
The measure of any good dating site would be the results and effectively the number of dates that it can get you. These are qualitative figures and something that can only be done by users who have used all the free dating sites seriously such as Datehookup, Jumpdates, Plentyoffish and others. Although the numbers game is important to dating sites ie. the user base, it’s important to know that serious users are more picky about their dates. All the elements of a good dating profile, along with good photos, technical support of the website, and a pool of users that are attracted to the site for genuine reasons will play an important part in acquiring the right dates for you.
If you are on the lookout for a quick way to flirt and date, Datehookup would be the way to go, but who is to say that long-term relationships doesn’t start that way?
Datehookup and Ease of Navigation - Free Dating Service Review - Part 2
The other features of Datehookup included the Mutual Match, this is very similar to the feature found in Mingle2. The idea behind this system is that you go through pictures that you like and label them as ‘No’, ‘Maybe’ or ‘Yes’. Each time you select an answer, you will be presented with another photo. If there is a mutual match, meaning that the other person also mutually matched you, then an email goes out to tell you this. This could be the ice-breaker needed to get favorable responses from other members on the site. It so happens that when you go to many of these dating sites that the messages you send to all those profiles that you liked, ends up in a black hole. The mutual match is a way to get you more results.
Navigation is an important feature of any dating site, let alone any website on the internet. It can mean the difference between a frustrated user or a user that moves through the site with relative ease without ever having to worry about navigation. Let me tell you, that when a user starts thinking about navigation on your website, then the website effectively has failed. What it should do is take the user seamlessly through the site without having to worry about all these silly little things. An analogy would be to drive a car and when you drive it and find yourself not paying attention to the things that can annoy you such as the ride quality, instrumentation access, ease of driving then you know you have a good car. The point is that all websites should take you through the steps that YOU want to go through and not be hampered by the technical hiccups of navigation, confusing visuals etc. Fortunately, Datehookup excels in this area.
Datehookup and Ease of Navigation - Free Dating Service Review
Datehookup.com has been one of the earliest free dating websites started around the same time as plentyoffish.com and jumpdates.com. The website has not changed much in the way of layout and design and has remained pretty much the same since it started all those years ago. This is unusual considering that web sites go through an evolutionary process of updates and redesign to keep abreast of technology etc. However, if you look at craigslist.org, this site has not changed for almost two decades and is still going strong. One of the reasons, why it may have kept the same look and style is that it probably does not feel the necessity to change. If it does the job of bringing singles together, why change?
Datehookup and Ease of Navigation - Free Dating Sites Review
The first impressions of Datehookup.com is that the site is pretty static and you know where everything is. This is true once you have registered to the site and start searching for other members on the site. The site does not deviate away from its intended core structure or purpose so that users will be able to find everything fairly rapidly and quickly. A good test to see how dating sites perform is to do a search for potential dates and see how long it would take you to message them. I was able to send messages to about five other potential members within a few minutes.
