Online dating. The sizzle and fizzle.
Kevin Kokoska, a friend of “trysweettalk” offered to do a guest post for this week’s dating blog. I love what he’s written. It’s a refreshingly insightful and honest male perspective about maturity, self-reflection, accountability and class. Women and men can learn from it. Thanks Kevin for contributing your work, as well as your wonderful point of view. A first date, a hug, a second date, an awkwardness, a week of mutually uninspired text messages, silence. This is where it usually ends,… read more →
A dating blog about bunnies, eggs and Gloria Steinem.
As a copywriter, the months leading up to Easter are spent creating ads that target children. As such, with the exception of much-loved breaks I get from crafting dating profiles, I’ve been immersed in bunnies and eggs – not to mention more pastel than anyone outside of a nursery should have to see. So, to achieve a comfortable balance, I’ve written a dating blog with my own unique take on the Easter. As with all my dating blogs, you don’t… read more →
Online dating with Rush, Rick and contraceptives.
I write ads. I write dating profiles based on ad techniques. I also write the only dating blog about men, women and marketing. My blogs are often inspired by stories that move me. For instance, it’s bad enough that Rush Limbaugh called a woman a slut, but I’m shocked that he’s allowed to call some poor woman “wife” on a daily basis. As such, I thought I’d do a blog about men, women and words that cross a line. However, before I… read more →

There’s now a complete array of dating sites on the net, from the naughty to the religious. In fact, it seems that dating sites cater to every aspect of human society these days, and one… read more →
Breaking Bad Season 4 and online dating profiles.
The other day I went onto Facebook and looked at the news feed. The first item was a quote by Rumi posted by a friend of mine, ““What you seek is seeking you.” Just below was a post by another friend. It read, “Be one with the universe and you’ll never be alone.” The next post, from another friend, also had something to do with gratitude or love or visualization or manifestation or some such presumably meaningful quote. Finally, I… read more →
Kate Houston on NPR’s Marketplace.
Why would NPR’s Marketplace be interested in online dating? Because it’s all about marketing yourself. Kate Houston talks about how ad techniques are what you need to stand out and compete online. Please note: prices and levels of service have changed since this broadcast. http://www.onlineprofilewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/Marketplace-Morning-Report-04_50-for-November-23-2010.mp3
I love a good rant, but on a #dating profile?
Seeing a rant on a dating profile is wrong in the same way that Denis Leary writing Hallmark greetings would be wrong. The two don’t fit. Believe me, I too think that women with doggie strollers, men with fake tans, and serial daters are great feed for a rabid ranter but save it for friends or blogs. Dating profiles are for attracting suitors. Rants, while hilarious, are not the new sweet nothings.
