According to a recent survey conducted by Woome.com, nearly 3 out of 4 single online adults(1) (72 percent) find flirting online more difficult than in person, citing the inability to observe body language, gauge chemistry and assess physical appearance as major contributing factors.
61 percent of single adults say looks are most likely to attract them to someone within the first minute of an introduction.
Only 17 percent said they thought sense of humor was most important and an even lower nine percent said they value intelligence most. And ironically, less than one in three single adults (31 percent) who have an online profile(2) regularly update the picture on their social network or online dating site profile(s).
I would think the fact that people don’t update their image as often could lead to a great hesitation in contacting those you might normally be interested in. Sometimes you have to wonder if the photo is new, old, how old and if it’s even them.
While online dating can be a wonderful avenue to meeting love interests - you really do have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince(ss) whatever the case may be.

AshleyMadison.com, the world’s largest infidelity dating service announced that their membership base has doubled in just one year. The website went from 1 million members to an impressive sickening 2 million members!
To celebrate this milestone, Ashley Madison has offered their 2 millionth member, Hillary08, 2 million free credits cheating attempts. This massive and wide-spread growth means that attached men and women can easily connect with other like-minded whoring adults in their local area, making Ashley Madison the #1 site for extra-marital affairs.
“Infidelity isn’t on the rise, it’s just shifting from the office to online,” said Noel Biderman, Avid Dating Life Inc. President and CEO.
Well that sure is a big relief. It’s nice to know there aren’t more sluts in the world then there were before.

So, okay. He broke your heart. He’s been manipulative. He’s made a fool out of you. Yes. Go dump his sorry ass. We fully support you!
But here’s an idea. Why don’t you top it off by sending him a gift that’s carefully wrapped and bearing a tag that says “Good riddance!”? What would you give just to see his face when he opens it and sees this shirt?
Mr. Liar, one of the Little Losers from David & Goliath.
On second thought, why bother? I reckon he’s not worth the dollars you’ll spend on the said gift. All 24 of them. LOL.

New “Gossip Girl” Michelle Trachtenberg spoke with Michael Yo and Hyla from “Yo on E!” about her new gig, rumors of dating Chace Crawford, her thoughts on friends Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson and joking about dating co-star Blake Lively.
I still think Chase and Carrie Underwood made a much cuter couple, but if these two are looking for immediate gratification of a close relationship and can’t deal with long distance relationships - this is probably a good move for these two.
Does distance play a roll in who you date or not? Would you abandoned the one you love to be with the one you can be with?

Having a friend tell you that you have this sad air around you that’s so thick that he can stand being around you is no picnic. Hearing you rant and vent about a loss or betrayal has become a constant dread. Discerning a negative and lonely aura coming from you has turned into an appalling attribute. Your countenance reflects a defeated individual, seemingly foolish and pathetic. Harsh but true.
Though you can find poetry in a broken heart, it, sometimes, isn’t healthy to dwell on them. It’s true that you’re allowed to mourn for your loss but to go at it constantly and consistently? Do you really have to tell everyone that your loss has hardened your heart? That an intelligent showing of coping is to express it in poetic alliterations? That being alone and going into a dating hiatus is an act of strength and independence? Will you truly and I mean truly find the answers to your burning questions?
Dear, you will fall in love again one way or the other.

The network will produce one-hour episodes. Nationwide casting for the series already under way. Untitled Cougar Project is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television, and Mike Fleiss serves as executive producer.
Should place an interesting new twist on dating and reality shows. And here I’d thought we were running out of possibilities.
If you’re an ultra-smart singleton and good at taking tests, a new website could be the answer.
The social networking site directed towards highly intelligent people with a knack for deciphering complex visual patterns, which started in Denmark, has now expanded to Canada and the United States.
Potential candidates have to pass an online test to prove they have an IQ of 115 or higher. The score places them in the top 15 percent of the population for intelligence, said Copenhagen-based Trine Jensen, the founder of IntelligentPeople.com.
