Fewer Matches on Free Dating Websites… Turn Off for Online Singles
Monday, April 16th, 2012
Researchers have found that online singles looking for matches on free dating websites always look for a bigger pool of matches or profiles even when they are searching local singles for weekend dates. The obvious reason behind this is a bigger pool of profiles provide single to select the best profile which suits them at that time.
Fewer Matches on Free Dating Websites… Turn Off for Online Singles
But, the question is how many profiles are enough to turn them on and how many turn off their interest in free dating websites. Researchers found that when online singles search for their matches and get only four or less profiles generated by their search criteria they tend to be less active on that site.
On the other hand if their search returns more than 20 online profiles then it seems to be good and they becomes more active on that site. This could be because more profiles create more impact on single psyche and they want to connect with more singles to at least few responses as possible.
We at Jumpdates also believe that more profiles will get your matches more likely to convert to actual real dates.

Perception of Beauty or Looks in Online Dating Sites
Wednesday, April 4th, 2012
Most of the dating sites today have a selection where you can assign a grading with regards to your looks or beauty. This can be a tricky choice for many and in particular for females since the choice you make can determine your entire personality. For example, whether you come across as arrogant, boastful or just modest.
perception-of-beauty-or-looks-in-online-dating-sites
Take the case of Samantha Brick an UK columnist who today created a backlash amongst the public when she declared that she could not help herself for being beautiful. It is one thing to know that you are beautiful but another to openly declare this to everyone. What is surprising is that she did not anticipate the hate emails for her post and she goes on to say that this just goes to prove her point. Unfortunately she has failed to realize that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. This means that the trued judges of your beauty are the people who see you and not yourself. Maybe she should go and see the new Snow White movie.
The repercussions of her article in certain ways reflect people’s opinion on this subject and almost resembles other sensitive subjects such as racism and discrimination. It is like a personal opinion that you keep to yourself in case of offending others.
How can we learn from this and apply to our online dating profile. To be shrewd in this matter and despite the fact that dating sites do allow you to specify a grading regarding your looks, it is better to be modest. Even if many of your friends and relatives think of you as stunning looking, you should opt for something like ‘good looking’ if there is another choice for ‘very good looking’. Let’s assume that a woman selected the ‘very good looking’ option, now the point is that men who come to look at their profile may consider this woman to be very good looking indeed but then they can also assume this person to be too presumptuous. There is a tendency for others to be more attracted to someone else when they are modest about themselves. There is nothing more sexy than a beautiful woman who glows with a warmth and a radiant smile and effectively looking outside of herself.
For the case of men when it comes to grading their looks on their dating profile, the situation is starkly different. If a man was to put down ‘very good looking’ on their dating profile, it is somewhat of less importance than a woman because it is understood that men are permitted to have some room for showing off and having an air of arrogance. In fact, it would be more amusing to many women rather than a hotly contested topic.
I would be curious to know what would happen if a man were to put up a blog saying that he was very good looking. I am pretty certain that this person would not receive the same level of interest as Samantha Black did today.

Online Dating Singles Downfall – The Inside Scoop
Friday, February 24th, 2012
Online dating has become an integral part of singles scouring the internet these days. These singles keep looking for the best online matches to succeed in their dating quest and they keep hovering from one free dating sites to another. Although there is nothing wrong in doing this, the real problem starts when even after trying several dating sites they are still single and they pin the blame on dating sites for not making it happen. Well in rare cases this maybe true, but after screening thousand of profiles and spotting messaging trends Mayur Vyas, Content Manager of Jumpdates.com found that majority of online singles do not fill 20% of their information in their online dating profile. It’s like trying to make a jet fly without any jet fuel. An impossible task!
Online Dating Singles Downfall – The Inside Scoop
Take a step back and think about relationships between a man and a woman. It’s impossible for a relationship to succeed if both of the people within the relationship do not try to understand each other and work things out. It is an ever unfolding relationship between two persons that bonds them together. In the same token, the lack of information that one presents oneself on their dating profile, will lead to people skipping over the profile no matter how attractive you may look.
There are common errors that online singles make from the word go that results in the downfall of their important dating mission.
1. Not filling the complete information while creating the online dating profile
This is the most common mistake made by online singles. You need to make sure that your online dating profile speaks for you. Profiles with limited or incomplete information send a negative message about yourself, either you do not have any thing to say or you do not want to disclose information that may speak badly about yourself. Why would someone be interested in a profile which just have the basic info of age and photo?

2. When online singles become broadcasters
Yes, it’s true. It has been observed that singles tend to send a series of similar messages to almost every profile they like. According to them it saves them time and they can reach many online singles. But, unfortunately they don’t understand that every profile is different from one another and sending customized messages could earn more replies in the long run.
3. Don’t be a spammer
Messages like
“Hello, I am James Joe am 57 years old hope you don’t mind my age is just a number i have one friend, his name is Fred he just get me through this online dating right now i am here looking for a long term relationship that can lead to marriage and i will have the woman as my soul mate then i read your profile and i am interested in it”.
This may sound fine but if you analyze the world “Hello” at the beginning, it can raise questions like is it only me that he is referring to? As this appears to be a generalized message and makes other users feel that they could be one of many the gent has sent the message to. It makes you feel less important in the eyes of the messenger.
4. Don’t Wait, Make your Own Success Story
Waiting for other online singles to find you and send you the introduction message is never going to work if every think like this. It could be a never ending wait. If you are serious then you should give enough time to your online profile every week for finding the best match for you and sending messages according to their profiles. Sending personalize messages increases your chances of getting replies more often. A good tip is say to yourself that you will go through 10 online dating profiles each day or a week and send out 20 messages averaging 2 to each profile. Remember that bigger things can happen by taking smaller steps.

Again, there are no excuses for having spelt something incorrectly, because even as we type, the applications are so smart that they will underline the culprit word and even offer you suggestions. As for grammar, this can be a difficult thing to master, particularly if you have never really paid attention to this and you know very well your weaknesses in this area.
