<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.themillionairesingle.com/advice.php" target="_blank">Online dating advice</a> : It never ceases to amaze me what number marriages press on while not the couple ever going out on a date. The actual fact is even in cases where the couple really do out press on dates, they are doing therefore at odd, intermittent frequencies that it nearly doesn&#8217;t count as dating.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I usually surprise then if married couples are aware that dating plays a crucial half in any wedding. Whereas your wife might not brazenly complain concerning not going out on dates, as a result of she doesn&#8217;t need to sound just like the &#8220;money waster&#8221;, she nevertheless needs you may take her out a lot of usually.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">you would like to come back to the belief, if you&#8217;ve got not already done therefore, that taking your wife out on regular dates is that the secret to strengthening your wedding.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">you&#8217;ll see going out as an obligation, however your wife has quite a special read on the full issue &#8211; she sees it as you being romantic, and that i tell you &#8211; girls are &#8220;suckers&#8221; for romantic guys. Particularly ones that apprehend what they&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Be romantic &#8211; be spontaneous. Take your wife on dates. Surprise her with formal dinners, flowers, stolen kisses. Where else does one suppose she would get to point out off that new dress she bought? For once does one not suppose that somebody else ought to shut down once her?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Your wife additionally equates dating with caring, concern and thought. What did you is doing after you 1st met her? Yep, after you were described as &#8220;charming&#8221; to her friends in a very hushed, giggle-filled voice? Cannot remember? Well, strive this: you really took her out on a date!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">perhaps you took her to the National Christmas tree on the grounds of the white house or even it absolutely was merely to dinner at the highest of the Empire state building, it doesn&#8217;t extremely matter &#8211; the purpose is that you simply took her out on a splendid date and once a moment she agreed to urge married to you and currently you are doing not take her out any longer!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Do not be like that. You must take your wife to dinner at her favourite restaurant, get her chocolates, write her love letters, or schedule a weekend trip to a location she loves. You are doing not ought to do one thing overly expensive &#8211; simply make sure that it&#8217;s heartfelt and tasteful.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you are doing these, can discover that your love for her can grow a lot of and a lot of because the years blow over &#8211; and she or he in flip will love you a lot of. Don’t stop dating your wife &#8211; don&#8217;t permit your relationship to lapse into the recent runt like such a lot of individuals around you. Continuously say &#8220;I love you&#8221; to your wife &#8211; it endears her to you and strengthens the bond and love you each share!</p>

<p>According to IBISWorld, a market research firm, and the United States Census Bureau, about 37 percent of people 50 and older are unmarried. And the divorce rate among the 50-plus demographic is high. With so many older Americans unattached, living independently into their later years, and increasingly comfortable using the Internet, they, too, are logging on for love.&#8221;</p>

<description><![CDATA[I have to hand it to OkCupid – sharing in this data for free is fun for those of us who like to look]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to hand it to OkCupid – sharing in this data for free is fun for those of us who like to look at colorful visualizations of weird and random data statistics.  And I have to hand it to their constituents for being willing to be part of these things that are starting to become my pastime.  (Thanks).  I also read a few about some of the things to be aware of for online dating.  I thought that there would be massive numbers of sites about how to successfully market yourself online dating.  I mean – they have so many things for other areas of marketing the self – resumes, cover letters, online job search forums, etc. – why not for something that involves something much more potentially permanent?  </p>
<p>One element of advice particularly peaked my interest.  It went something like this: Don’t Get Your Hopes Up.  Or, at least, that is how I translate it.  My approximation is that it is easy to fantasize about your potential lover, mate, love of your life, future perfect xyz, because of a series of texts, phone calls, pictures, or any of the above mentioned. And to do so to the point of creating some sort of super-human cureall to loneliness that you are about to meet.  As if that first meeting is the place to seal the deal, because everything else has been worked out already – I mean – scientifically-proven match!  What’s there to doubt?<!--more--></p>
<p>But before you get the ring out (and ladies, I am talking to you, too – bringing your own ring and hinting at first meet is not cool) consider this piece of advice found on a similar column: (cite) one writer posited that the internet is like a long bar (yes, like your neighborhood bar but longer).  More people to chat up.  The bottom line, while perhaps sometimes confused as ‘finding the one through chemical matching,’ is actually the same formula as it was pre-Internet Dating.  You meet people, strike up conversations, spend time together, talk more, and see what happens.  The logic behind Internet Dating is that you are given more options, and therefore, your likelihood of meeting someone you like, is increased.  I suppose that online dating companies do this whole ‘chemicized’ matching thing to whittle down what would otherwise be an impossibly long line of people waiting to talk to you.  </p>
<p>So to be clear – because you are matched with someone does not mean it is your match, aka, the one, for those of you raised on the milk of romantic comedies.  It means that you are a lot less likely to find them completely replusive when you first meet them.  In other words – marginally more successful than going to a bar.  I mean, this is me speaking – I have not online dated, and my meeting was exceptionally random, so I have nothing against this random ‘sea’ out there.  And I see no reason to contemplate that the digital world is a better place to protect oneself against the terror of this open ocean of potential partners.<!--more--></p>
<p>In fact, I might go so far as to say that the ideas of ‘matching’ and ‘compatibility’ play a part in making people overly confident in the online dating scene.  Making for greater fantasizing, and potentially greater disappointment.  Don’t get me wrong, there is a great deal to be said for having many options out there, and getting yourself out there.  And if you can do that, in any way, shape or form, hats off to you, because it is in no way easy.  But also remember the words of Barry Schwartz in the Paradox of Choice:</p>
<p>The more options people have, the less easy (and pleasant) it is to make choices, and the less satisfied people are with the choices they make.  So be prepared to market harder and harder to convince those on the other side of the screen that you are relationship worthy, and be prepared for more than a little disappointment yourself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_6" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://onlinedatingstatistics4u.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/online-dating-statistics.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6" title="online-dating-statistics" src="http://onlinedatingstatistics4u.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/online-dating-statistics.jpg?w=300&#038;h=272" alt="Online Dating Statistics" width="300" height="272" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Online Dating Statistics</p></div>
<p><strong>How many people actually meet online? </strong>Are the Match.com commercials lying or do 1 in 5<br />
relationships start online? Is there a stigma against meeting someone online? Most of what we see<br />
in terms of advertising leads us down the wrong path. What I want to focus on is the truth behind<br />
the online dating claims. So together let’s get down to the nitty gritty and look at some online<br />
dating statistics from various research companies. Warning! This article will get quite technical<br />
at times because statistics are a mathematical science and without maintaining the science aspect<br />
all findings would just be held as opinions but these are online dating statistics not online<br />
dating opinions. At the end of each research document I will breakdown the data in a few easy to<br />
understand sentences.</p>
<p><strong>Match.com and Chadwick Martin Bailey 2009 – 2010 Studies: Recent Trends: Internet Dating</strong></p>
<p><strong>Research Study Overview &#38; Objectives:</strong><br />
In 2009 and 2010, Match.com engaged research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey to conduct three<br />
studies to provide insights into America’s dating behavior: a survey of recently married people<br />
(“Marriage Survey”), a survey of people who have used internet dating (“Web Based Dating Survey”),<br />
and a survey of single people and people in new committed relationships (“General Survey”).</p>
<p><strong>Key Findings:</strong></p>
<p>Marriage Survey<br />
-17% of couples married in the last 3 years, or 1 in 6, met each other on an internet dating site.<br />
-In the last year, more than twice as many marriages occurred between people who met on an online<br />
singles site than met in bars, at clubs and other social events combined.</p>
<p>General Survey<br />
-1 out of 5 single people have dated someone they met on an online dating site.<br />
-1 out of 5 people in a new committed relationship (including marriage) met their significant other<br />
on an online dating site.</p>
<p>How did you meet your current/ most recent spouse? (Recently Married Survey: N = 7000)<br />
From the years (respectfully) 2010 / Past 3 Years<br />
Met Spouse Via Web Based Dating Site 17% / 17%<br />
Through a friend/ family member 27% / 26%<br />
Through work/ school 38% / 36%<br />
Through church/ place of worship 4% / 4%<br />
Through bars/clubs/ other social events 8% / 11%<br />
Other 6% / 7%</p>
<p><strong>Methodology:</strong></p>
<p>For each of the three studies, data was collected through research via an online Consumer</p>
<p><strong>Research Panel:</strong></p>
<p>Marriage Survey: 7000 US adults age 18+, married within the past 5 years<br />
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='560' height='345' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/NGHnu22U4Ow?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span><br />
<strong>Match.com and Chadwick Martin Baily’s Breakdown</strong></p>
<p>From this information we can gather that Match.com isn’t lying, their commercials speak the truth.<br />
1 in 5 relationships start online. We also learn that 1 in 6 marriages begin from an online dating<br />
site. What’s interesting to note is that online dating is now mainstream. If 20% (1 in 5) of<br />
relationships start from an internet dating site then there is growth in an area that was once</p>
<p>taboo<br />
and in fact didn’t even exist 15 years ago. Although one can speculate that <a href="http://www.onlinedatingdvd.com/">online dating tips</a> will</p>
<p>gain more popularity the more people can be open about how they met their significant other without<br />
embarrassment.</p>
<p>So for all those worried about dating on the internet, there are plenty of people already doing it.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t<br />
be worried and get out there and start dating. The <a href="http://www.onlinedatingdvd.com/blog">online dating statistics</a> don&#8217;t lie.</p>
