Wording your online dating profile correctly - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Article Subject: Wording your online dating profile correctly
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
We usually talk about the subject of being honest in your online profile for various reasons.
Apart from the fact that when you do meet your dating partner that you come across as honest and trustworthy, there is also another implication to keeping it above honest. This is because most dating sites try to match you according to what you put in your dating profile and if you put something which is a complete departure from who you are, you are likely to be matched with unsuitable suitors.
This can put you off right away and you come away having achieved nothing.
Although, I am not saying that the dating system or algorithm of the dating site can perfectly match you with your ideal partner but in most cases it can provide you with a realistic group of results that you can work with. You may feel that ‘you are a catch’ when it comes to dating, but you must be realistic with other people’s expectations of you too.
For more information on being an online dating superstar, do a search in our Jumpdates blog for things like ‘clothes’, ‘mannerism’, ‘etiquette’, etc.
attractiveness is more than just simple looks, it's about how you present yourself to others

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 19 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Friday, March 4th, 2011
Article Subject: 19. Understand dating websites located through search engines
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Previously we discussed the use of Google’s dynamic features to exploit more of the keywords and give us other keywords and phrases that we may not have thought of.
Assuming that you are now quite competent in the affairs of the browsers and search engines, we will now explore the nitty gritty of dating websites and in particular those websites that will be of interest to you.
Unfortunately, the internet has made many of us less patient with information and we now need information at the tip of our finger tips or else we become agitated. The same is true of when we go and visit new websites and we find ourselves scanning the pages very rapidly in order to assess the usefulness of that site for our needs.
Good web designers are keen to understand this and they can make ‘play’ of some of the visuals and presentation of the data on a web page and grab our attention. This may give us a false sense of security since we have no idea what can lie under the ‘hood’ of the dating site and it is up to us to figure this out.
attractive web page designs can be misleading as we don't know yet what lies underneath

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 16 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Article Subject: 16. Using Google’s dynamic keyword suggestions
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
So we have learnt that variations of keywords can produce search engine results (SERPs) that can be more targeted towards your needs, however, remember that at the end of the day the keywords and phrases are only as good as the search engine itself.
Search engine are fallible just like we humans, after all they try to produce results in a ‘humanistic’ way. The areas where the problems can arise is in words or phrases that have an ambiguous meaning. However, Google in particular has been smart in that department where it actually produces a list of different results each with it’s own meaning and presumably, if you clicked on it, the next instance it would know what your intention was for that word.
This kind of learning power has made the search engine even more powerful and useful to our daily lives, cutting away the effort required to reach our end goal. Try it out and ‘observe’ the behavior of the search engines and see how much it actually ‘remembers’ from what you typed in previously and how it presents the data to you.
ambiguous words are handled reasonably well by search engines these days

5 Fundamental Truths of Online Dating - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Friday, February 25th, 2011
Article Subject: 5 Fundamental Truths of Online Dating
Article Link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cristen-conger/online-dating-facts_b_823816.html
Article Rating: 3.0 (out of 5)
Website: none
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Some good points on this post by Cristen Conger who is a staff writer for HowStuffWorks.com and talks about the few important points about online dating.
Her first point ‘It Works’ which she is saying that 10 million adult American couples met online in 2010 seems a little bit exaggerated and was based on a survey conducted by Stanford University on 4,002 adults. This small pool of adults is not sufficient enough to give a good representation of the facts that account for the dating habits of the entire American population.
I particularly agree on her fourth point which states “Beware the Hyperpersonal Effect” which means in other words not to get too carried away with someone you just met online and start ‘fantasizing about a blissful future together’. This could lead you to a big disappointment in the first person meeting but I would go far as to say that it could potentially put you off from online dating altogether.
She concludes nicely with the final point “Disappointment Happens a Lot” and is to be expected, so the advise is that online dating is only the first step in the dating process and it still has to go through the ‘real world’ dating process of meeting somebody, hanging out and hoping for the best. My advise is to filter through as many people that meet your criteria in the online dating site and start establishing an ‘online dating relationship’ with them until you are comfortable in meeting up with some of them.
