How to create the perfect online dating site profile to attract and find your perfect match
Posted on
It might appear to be a tiresome or boring formality, but an online dating profile is important. It sets the tone for how potential romantic matches see you and perceive you. By the way, there is no right or wrong profile pic for Internet Dating.
If you are a woman and your profile picture is in a skimpy bikini, you are going to be perceived as possibly flirtatious and sexy and probably get a corresponding response. If you are a woman wearing a business suit, sitting behind a desk, you are going to be perceived as serious and corporate, perhaps a bit more formal. If you are a guy and you are not wearing a shirt, you are giving out a certain message. If you are a man in front of a private jet, you are also giving out a certain message!
If you want to do the bikini thing, go for it. That may well be the image you want to put out there, and that is fine. Young people do totally different profile pics to older people. We would suggest though that you put a profile pi

When it’s finally time to go ahead and contact someone for the first time, what is the best approach? Consider the following guidelines while still adding your personal style.
Not too long. Not too short.
Some people opt for a simple ‘Hello, how are you?’ and leave it at that, whilst others choose to narrate their whole life story with a full medical history, which is probably not a good idea!
Our advice is to strike a happy medium. If you’re hoping for a reply, and that’s what it’s all about, we suggest at least 3 or 4 meaningful sentences, with a question or two to show interest.
Make it personal
People want to feel special – that you absolutely had to write to them because of their compelling profile. Include something that shows you’ve read their profile – for example:

Posted on
Research-based suggestions to identify the best prospects in the crowd. For those considering online dating, here are five simple tips to follow in order to maximise your chances of procuring a successful match.
“Successful” here means meeting someone with whom you can have a sustained and meaningful relationship. The suggestions are drawn from a paper by Finkel et al (2012):

Let’s have a look at Online dating rules: tips for success in the digital age
Posted on
The rules of dating have changed. Unlike the pre-digital age when the biggest worry was whether a date would call or not, we now have to worry about what dirty laundry our prospective partners will uncover when they inevitably do some digital sleuthing into our online lives. And even once we land the partner and are in a relationship, there are a plethora of digital do’s and don’ts that we should all be aware of.
Today, I share three social media tips for when you’re in the early stages of dating someone, and three tips for when you’re in a relationship.
Before you send that new partner a friend request…

Here are 10 ways on how to catch out a catfish
Posted on
Catfishing is a type of deceptive activity where a person creates a sock puppet social networking presence, or fake identity on a social network account, for attention seeking, bullying or as a romance scam.
A “catfish” is someone pretending to be someone they are not on the internet. A catfish usually targets a victim or has someone they are pretending for. Usually people intend catfishing as a romance scam on dating websites or seeking online relationships.
People use fake profile pictures, names, and often genders. Catfishers create fake profiles to trick people into thinking they are someone else. Usually, the fabricated life displayed is the one they wish was their own, making it easy to act as if it is really them.
There are now catfishing shows that are produced to solve the mysteries of individuals online relationships. Victims tend to get suspicious when their online partner refuses to meet in person or via web cam.
