7 ways to get the most out of online dating

February 1, 2012 Posted by admin

Online dating has grown amazingly quickly in recent years, and it is now a billion-dollar industry, with 40 million users in the US alone. If you’re thinking about getting involved, here are a few tips:

1) Choose the right site

The biggest dating sites have millions of users, most of whom won’t share your interests. Specialised sites such as sportysingles.com bring together like-minded people, which makes things much easier. There are also useful niche sections on some mainstream websites such as eHarmony.

Paid sites can cost over £10 a month, but as an online-dating friend of mine says, ‘You get what you pay for’ with better compatibility-testing software and more people who are serious about meeting someone.

If you’re still not sure which to go for, there are several comparison sites with information and reviews.

2) Pick a good photo

When browsing through most dating sites, all you see is a photo and a brief caption. People need to click on this before they can see your full written profile. So, however little people claim to care about looks, having a good photo is important.

It should be a clear, in-focus, normal picture of your face and just your face – not you in your car, not you with your friends, not you drunk and especially not you in skimpy underwear, or with your T-shirt off flexing your muscles.

3) Write a good profile

Be clear what you’re after. If you’re looking for black relationships, say so. If you’ll only date a fellow Christian, put it in your profile. You don’t want time-wasting messages from people who aren’t your type. And they’ll be grateful that you saved their time too.

Talk about who you are and what makes you interesting or different. Saying ‘I like movies and socialising’ is completely pointless. Everyone does. Not many people like medieval re-enactment days and techno-jazz, so try those (or whatever you’re really interested in).

4) Contact people

Don’t be shy. No one will be offended at a nice, personal message, even if you’re really not their type. Personal is the key word – ask about things in their profile. Don’t send out thousands of identical messages, particularly if they begin with ‘Hey howz u?’ Also avoid cheesy chat-up lines and doggerel poetry: ‘If u like wot u see/get bk to me.’

5) Be honest

The person you’re talking to might be nervous about online dating and be hyper-sceptical about any extravagant claims. ‘I proved Goldbach’s Conjecture, played professional rugby and founded IBM,’ for example, won’t get you far. There’s no point in lying about yourself – you’ll have to meet in person at some point.

6) Go on a date

Don’t be nervous about arranging a meet-up, unless you ignored the previous tip and claimed to be Robert de Niro. You might find your date wasn’t quite what you were expecting, but it’s very unlikely they’ll be a complete weirdo. It’s best to take a few safety precautions anyway, so meet in a public place, tell a friend where you’re going and don’t give out your home phone number or address.

7) Have fun

You might not find someone in the first few months, but it doesn’t matter. Online dating is a great opportunity to meet people, and sites such as www.eharmony.co.uk are here to stay. Why rush it?

Arrogant Editors Exaggerate their Excellence – Earned Ego and Egalitarian Extremes

January 2, 2012 Posted by admin



Often editors will treat writers extremely badly, like they are on some sort of power trip. Now to be fair, one can only imagine the number of underwhelming writers or so-called authors that they have to deal with. Nevertheless, they come across as arrogant and rarely miss a chance to embellish their excellence. While attempting to be egalitarian and looking out for the reader or viewer, they generally make many errors themselves.

Some editors are extremely competent and excellent at what they do, but that is not always the case, many have egos that are completely unjustified, almost as if they think they know everything. For an author of experience and observation this is a little distracting, especially when the editors simply do not know what they are talking about. Isaac Asimov once discussed this problem, and he was right.

Editors are the number one reason that publications fail, books do not sell or trade journals go out of business. One editor once told me that a certain title, would not sell. Perhaps it wouldn’t and as I further pressed for more information listening to her complaints about an author who had turned in a book proposal, I learned a little bit about what the real problem here is.

She decided to go with a different author, one who was a shade bit better writer, but no experience in the field. I asked why and she said, because the title is what sells the book, and that she was in business to sell books. I then mentioned that I had a 4,000 book personal library and was getting rid of the books that read, which I did not find of any value. You see, I expressed my dismay that there are too many books of no substance out there. She said that she must sell books to stay in business and every book needs a good title and a hook.

Indeed, but then I thought, if she was so smart and so great and so wonderful, why didn’t she pick the book of the expert in the field and re-write the title, so the reader wouldn’t buy a book that was worthless, but had a great title? Surely, she is smart enough to think of a hook to sell a book? The reason that I think this is important is that as an Entrepreneur, I was always responsible for being the best, having the best marketing and satisfying the customer, but many book editors, just don’t get it.
