Online Dating Advice
I regularly review excerpts from random dating profiles (for anonymity). Pointing out dos and don’ts from real profiles can help you improve on your own personal branding.
Unexpected Dating Advice
The only dating blog about men, women and marketing. I read a lot of relationship articles giving advice to both men and women. Much of it as about as deep as Dr. Drew’s contribution to celebrity rehab. Still, it’s fun. So here’s your chance to “listen in” to what the other side is being told! Relationship and dating advice for men According to an article in Men’s Health Magazine, the older women get, the more frisky they become. So men,… read more →
10 Online dating safety tips every woman needs to know.
The following online dating safety guidelines are the result of conversations with members of my local police force. In addition, the guidelines were sent to another police officer to ensure that they’re accurate and responsible. Still, these are general guidelines and their focus is primarily on the process leading up to a meeting. Hence, these are not profile writing safety tips (such as – don’t divulge personal information that can be traced to you and jeopardize your privacy and security).… read more →
Online dating and the top 3 reasons why emails matter.
I was listening to a radio show the other day when the host gave some brilliant online dating advice. By brilliant I mean in that “Tommy Lee goes to College” kind of way. He suggested that women should just post pictures and not bother with anything else. In his view, men are visual so there’s no point in spending time on a profile and, above all, emails are pointless. In truth, my observation has been that men don’t like to… read more →
Real online dating tips or just real bad advice?
When I was young, I heard that crusty bread would make my hair curly. I loved curly hair. I loved it more than life and Tony Danza put together. Though I had a straight, dark mane I was convinced that a few French rolls a day would transform me into Farrah Fawcett. I also heard that mayonnaise would make it thick and shimmering. For weeks, I smelled like a picnic. To my dismay, my hair became progressively stringy, dull, and… read more →
Internet dating safety tips.
This is a paid for blog. However, the company behind the blog is credible (I’ve worked with the people previously). In addition, this is solid advice. Internet Dating is usually a safe way of meeting new people. But there are some basic rules that you should abide by when using dating sites. While these notes generally appeal to women, it can also be worth taking into consideration that men are just as much a target for fraud and other such… read more →
Online dating the red flag of ageism.
The other day, an acquaintance asked if I could critique the online dating profile he wrote because, for some reason, it was attracting older women. This man is in his mid-50’s so it’s understandable that he’d attract other boomers. However, he’s good looking and in shape so I was surprised that he’d actually attract women who were old enough to be unappealing to him. When I probed further, I was floored to discover that his idea of older women was… read more →
Online dating, free dinners, and ethics.
I just read about Jessica Sporty, a 23-year old woman who subscribed to match.com for the sole purpose of getting free dinners. This deceptive, childish and self-entitled behavior led to countless articles about her ethics. As you might expect, many people were horrified and outraged by her behavior. This article questions the legitimacy and logistics of the story. Of all the articles I read, it’s my favorite because it’s not as quick to comment as it is to question. I… read more →

Demi & Ashton. Can we stop calling it cougar dating?
The other day Joy Behar tweeted about the impending divorce between Demi Moore and Ashton Kushter. Her tweet made a glib reference to Kushter being “grounded” (as in – sent to his room). I replied to the tweet with an equally glib, “I think it’s called minors emancipation”. At the time, I thought I was being clever. I since regret the callousness and prejudice of my words. In effect, I was making snide commentary about their age difference, which has… read more →
Craft an online dating profile that singles you out.
I write ads. I also write online dating profiles using subtle, but effective ad techniques (check out my online dating profile samples and see for yourself). Here are excerpts from an article I wrote for Betty Confidential where I was asked to provide tips on how to write an online dating profile that works.
