Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This a post by Allyson Kenning who wrote a post about her Valentines day’s experience with an online dating site and her own personal views of the subject. I personally do not agree with some of her statements made which seems to be more in frustration with herself and is typical of most people who blame the system rather than looking more closely at themselves. Normally, I am not very critical of people’s views but on this occasion I needed to be so, readers can find some usefulness in the material.
Her first gripe was that she had received two messages from men who clearly couldn’t spell and one who wanted to know what she was doing ‘tonight’. Naturally this kind of communication will not come across well to a lady of good standing or most people for that matter.
She also recollects some of her bad experiences with men who weren’t quite up to the profile and were late in meeting her and on top of that lied about their age.
At the end of her post she decides to put up a disclaimer of all the men she does NOT want in her life and eventually abandons the whole online dating scene together to spend more time with her cat and wait for Prince Charming.
My Brief:
She clearly needs to take a good look at her negative personality because that would be the very thing that is standing in the way of good and bad men.
She makes a big fuss about the spelling errors in men’s communication. Personally in a message some abbreviations are allowed but then again she needs to look at her own post. The title of her post are all in CAPs which to most people seems like you are shouting.
She claims that she will wait for Prince Charming, but I am sorry to say, you have been looking for Prince Charming all this time. Why? because you do not make the effort to seek out the other men, you are reactive to the situation. If you did a search on the dating site for men, I am pretty sure you will find men who are not only stellar in their English but probably intellectual enough to give you a run for your money. But then again, why would they want someone who is negative in their outlook of life?
My conclusion, please perk yourself up and look at the real world which is your own self and then decide how you can improve and not the world changing for you. I find this piece of information helps me in my daily life a great deal.

The cynic’s guide to online dating - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
A rather quaint and amusing post on ‘reading between the fine print’ when it comes to reading women’s profile in the online dating sites.
Zack Taylor makes good points on specific items to watch out for so you don’t make the mistakes that he had come across when he was in the online dating scene. Here is a few that I have summarized for your interest.
1. Usernames
Look out for usernames that say something like SexyGrl48, HappyGwen etc. These are sure indicators of what they are not ie. sexy or happy.
2. Headshots
If they only show headshot, they are probably hiding something like their body weight or something else.
3. Ranting profiles
If a woman clearly stipulates ‘no guys that lie or cheat..’, they are likely to have come out of a bad relationship or relationships and will most likely take out their frustration on you.
4. Rebound guy
Avoid women who say they have recently broken up, unless you want to be the rebound guy.
The bottom line is try to read between the lines before raising your expectation.
