Best Travel Dating Site for singles
This is a paid post by a friend of mine in the UK. I rarely sell my blog space, but I’ve worked with him previously and I know that he offers a good product with integrity. Online dating covers many genres these days, and most of those dating sites have been reviewed and discussed on blogs, forums and advertisements. One dating site genre which has not yet been discussed in great details is the travel dating site! There have always… read more →
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 →
An online dating blog about hoodies, Geraldo and hope.
I write ads. I write dating profiles. I also write a blog that incorporates both. I once had a cat who would hide his face and assume that, because he couldn’t see you, you couldn’t see him. Given that my little guy’s intellect was designed for his needs, I didn’t expect the kind of critical thinking that I might expect from ohhhh…say…an attorney, author and award-winning journalist like… oh, I don’t know – Geraldo Rivera. Yet, this well-educated, globe-trotting reporter… read more →
Feeling pressure on Valentine’s Day? You should be so lucky.
The only dating blog about men, women and avertising. As an ad writer turned online dating profile writer, I’m in a position to see Valentine’s Day from a broad perspective. As such I’ve learned that Valentine’s Day is, without a doubt, most loved by advertisers. Florists, chocolate makers, lingerie stores, restaurants, even strawberry growers (seriously, I saw organic ones on sale today at Whole Foods as part of their in-store Valentine’s Day promotions) – all wholeheartedly embrace this special day.… 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.
