Are the compatibility figures in online dating sites a myth or a fact?
Friday, April 27th, 2012
We have reported in earlier posts about the big deal that many dating sites make regarding the algorithms that they employ to find your best matches. Although, we at Jumpdates feel that these can be useful aids to some online daters to find compatible matches, we do not think that they are the ‘holy grail’ to your compatible match.
We have covered many posts on the innate nature of human beings when it comes to relationships, marriage, gender differences and the many unique qualities that make all of us different. In addition to the complexity of each individual, add the unique relationship of the two individuals on top of this and we end up with an exceptionally intricate ‘union’ that cannot be determined through quantitative analysis alone.

We also know that human beings also have an innate ability to change within, so how does that ‘impact’ the relationship. Most likely, it will throw a curveball in the entire relationship in the eyes of your partner and the relationship will need adapting to. There are just too many factors for online dating sites to claim they have a perfect system with regards to compatibility, it’s just not possible.
What dating sites can work towards instead, is to promote and ‘open’ the eyes of members to greater possibilities. Provide them with the necessary tools for them to locate the partner they are looking for and let them decide what will work for them. Dating sites by all means will always provide an excellent platform to engage many singletons together to find their meaningful relationship and this will continue to grow for years to come. However, we should all be realistic to how far we can really pair up couples since this communion can only be really understood by the couples themselves.

Essential gender criterias in the dating game - part 2

essential-gender-criterias-in-the-dating-game-part-1
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.

Long Distance Relationship Works on Free Dating Websites… How to find its love?
Monday, April 16th, 2012
Singles always face the dilemma at the start of any relationship that it is true love or just an attraction which is common when you see beauty. Free dating websites gives you an opportunity to create long distance relationships and it becomes harder to know the person when you only talk over the phone or do online chat to stay connected.
Here are few tips to check that the relationship you are is in fact love or something else:
1. At the initial stage when free dating website is the only channel of communication you need to go through the messages to find that are they online for you or a messaging template which is common when singles contact at first. Look for something similar to what you have in your profile like interests or in the about me section.
2. If you have moved to the next level of communication and use mobile phones or text messages to stay connected, few things would help you find the depth of your relationship like how often you talk or share messages. This does not mean that you spend hours on the phone daily or send messages every hour. Even a single phone call a week is okay. Also try to find out that the one you find on free dating websites also call you rather than only you making the effort to show your interest in keeping the relationship going strong.
Free dating websites and technology has made communication affordable and instant in forming long distance relationship. Share your view on long distance relationships in our comments section.

Why too much thinking can be damaging on free dating websites
Thursday, April 12th, 2012
If one was to sum up the time we spend in thinking before we do anything it wouldn’t be too surprising if in some cases we find that more people actually dwell on the thinking rather than on the doing. We have come across many types of people who also fall into that category where they think for a very brief time but tend to always end up doing more. People who spend a lot of time thinking before taking any action can have a particularly deleterious effect on free dating websites.
Here is the reasoning…
Let’s say that you have a set of criterias for the types of people you want to date on the free dating site, depending on those criterias, they could be construed as very selective or nit-picking and hence the number of profiles that comes across that meets your criteria could be very few. So what happens? You have a limited number of people that you are able to locate on the dating website to communicate with. What this does, is that it limits your potential for many other dates that you have overlooked with your very selective choices. You end up thinking too much about the end date.
The right way to go about hand picking profiles from the free dating websites is to keep your options open and not to think too much at first of the outcome of the date or the dating profile features etc. Essentially you want to move into top gear and go into action mode and try to go for matches that you would have considered half-heartedly before. After all, how can you possibly tell if the dating profile is exactly to your liking simply by looking at a few pictures and a few words about that person. You may find that you have a fantastic time with someone that you would have dismissed as a date for various reasons or another.
The true way of getting about on free dating websites is to go with the flow, become more active and do less thinking, life should be about surprises and relationships thrive on this.
