What are the gender differences in the thinking behind this new modern world we live in especially in the areas of dating, relationships and marriage. We know that women are just as capable as men to take on high-flying jobs and to excel in it if they so wish. There are some truths when a high caliber woman chooses to date a younger man and this can happen often. However, if money and power are the primary requirements to acquiring a potential mate then one could say that it goes against the grains of traditional thinking that all relationships are built on ‘love’ and not materialistic stuff. Perhaps many of us take ‘love’ for granted and nowadays with so many places to visit, dine and buy toys, the financial
requirements of a relationship takes more precedence. The internet and the TV is a big window to so many possibilities and opens the way to an active and materialistic life but often require much financial backing. There is a balance but that is also addressed with many offerings of zero down and no payment required till next year. If we are not too careful we at the mercy of digging a financial hole that we cannot get out of and no ‘love’ in the world can get us out of this sticky situation. When you rejoice the whole world rejoices together and when you cry, you cry alone. Maybe there is a lot to be said for a relationship built on strong finance.

Essential gender criterias in the dating game - part 1
I once dated a woman who found it odd that younger men were unwilling to date her and consider her as a long term dating partner or marriage. This came as a surprise to me since I always understood this rule to be of general acceptance ie. older men are more likely to date younger women than vice versa. However, it begs the question as to why this is the case and are there changing trends?
There are multitude of reasons why one gender in general tend to swing the power in their favor when it comes to dating and the marriage game. This perhaps may have to do with the evolution of men and women over time where they needed to co-exist together for survival and procreation. Men simply through their physique have extraordinary powers of strengths and agility and this will not change with time. One has to observe the Olympics to see the differential in times for speed, agility and strengths in all sports activities when comparing the two genders. This gift made men the aggressors of their own race and they were primarily hunters and protectors of their society. It seemed befitting that in the early years of man’s evolution the women would play a vital and integral part to the society by cooking, bearing children and maintaining a home.
This was the ‘organic’ growth of mankind where very few questions were raised towards the gender differences and equality did not set in until a more ‘civilized’ race was born. Although the strengths of women were well understood in society but with the advent of the industrial era skilled workers in the form of men and women changed and even created controversy over the traditional roles of women. Rightly so, women wanted equal rights in certain areas such as pay for the same job functions as men. Another apparent change that was happening due to the working women were their roles at home. Many women at that time courageously worked outside for a living as well as diligently attending to the needs of the home. This may have sparked the thinking behind many of the women’s movements in the last century.
Although one can see the changes in the gender roles both at home and at work, this was not the catalyst for the movements. It was a movement against the male dominated society where they exercised old rules based on tradition and not adapting fast enough to keep up with the changing times. This may be partly due to the ignorance of many or the desire to change or a fear of those changes. However, one cannot look at the macroscopic scale of the changes since there were perfectly contented couples and families that lived a harmonious life together. This clearly shows that the movements are always a result of a few who feel that many are ‘suppressed’ and need waking up.
Here lies another important question, “if a man and a woman are happy and living their lives in a contented manner, does anyone have a right to come into their lives and say it could be any different or better”. Who is to say that a native South American villager living deep in the hearts of the Amazon jungle will be enthralled with receiving an iPod. The point is, the constant outside influence by marketeers, sales people, bombastic tv commercials and the internet are all influencing us in many ways than one. It is up to the individual on how to assimilate this information and use it effectively and most importantly correctly and apply it to their own lives. Intelligent people will take all the information around them with a pinch of salt but keep their focus on the important things in life such as the family, future health and prospects etc.

Lessons to be learnt from free dating sites
Free dating sites had a good start in the year into 2012 but there’s still a bigger hill to climb. With so many contenders in this market the race is on to get up in the rankings and make their site more attractive and appealing to more users than ever before.
It has been said that the growing online dating community is projected to grow by another few percentage in this year alone. Although that figure may seem small but if you take into consideration the numbers involved, a few percentage can really have a big impact in the overall figures. Free dating sites will witness a boost in their registrations as a result of this increase and a majority who rely on Adsense will see an increase in their earnings.
The question is how to weather the highs and lows that can happen as a result of the traffic flow that comes to the dating sites including seasonal adjustments. It is not surprising that some websites opt for what is called the freemium model. What this entails is that the site in addition to offering most of the features free, also encourages users to sign up to a more ’sticky’ site that will yield them better results. For example, if you sign up for the fremium section which is effectively a paid section, you can expect to get more hits as a result of the additional ‘impressions’ your profiles will receive from other members. This maybe a good thing whereas the user can save quite a bit of money over the fully paid dating sites such as match.com or eharmony.com.
At the end of the day, there should be guarantee that users money has been well spent and they are getting the best value for money. It is a quantitative issue in that we cannot fully appreciate the results prior to taking out a subscription, for example, we know what we are going to get when we buy something off the shelf of a superstore.
Fortunately free dating sites do not fall prey to this as much as the fully paid subscriptions sites but one can argue that their model will not succeed for any length of time if there were more success stories than bad ones from the end-users. However, free dating sites have one good thing going for them and that is, what else do you have to lose, apart from a few minutes of your time in filling your profile and sending out messages. The results could be as good compared to other dating sites but without any monies involved in the transaction.

Where You Want to go Matchmaking Sites or Free Dating Websites…Choice is yours
There are plenty of matchmaking sites that claims to have a scientific method of doing matchmaking for online singles looking for their soul mate. Dr. Benjamin Karney – psychology professor from the University of California and other fellow professors did not find any thing scientific in these matchmaking algorithms.
The team of professors found that they failed to prove that the algorithm they used is scientific and did not give enough evidence to support their claim. This is where the freedom to search for your matches on free dating websites has advantage as it puts the power directly in the hands of online singles.
Free dating websites such as Jumpdates does not force online singles saying that these are the only perfect matches for you. There is no harm in sending what the algorithm considers as matches but, these matching algorithms need to be back up by enough good reasons and not by bold claims. The team of researchers from California University raised serious doubts on some of the claims made by major sites like eHarmony and others. We on the other hand at Jumpdates - free dating websites have quick pieces of advice for our fellow singles to start sending a short description as to why someone is your best match along with your matched profile which would be a great help for other online singles and shed new light to our critics.
