Australias First 3d Virtual Chat Rooms Launched

2008-08-08T01:41:00.000-07:00

A local Queensland online marketing expert has compiled a Web site that singles can market themselves using the 3d chat rooms. The 3D Rooms, found at Ticket4one.com already provides more than 20000.00 listings.

Rod Davies said he compiled the site after seeing thousands of singles using services that don’t grow with users needs in today’s modern market. "Because I spent years online chatting to people, I realized the potential of this vast network for helping singles jump-start in a user friendly 3D enviroment and broaden their social aspects in a medium with which they've become quite comfortable," Davies said

The site, described as "impressive" by Kevin Jewel, a brand manager for get found in Google. Provides not only 3D virtual worlds, but directs singles to numerous flash chat rooms. Direct email system, compatibility scoring and singles events at which they can post singles events they wish to attend or events they are organizing for free. "Ticket4one offers one-stop shopping for singles," said the site's creator, Rod Davies, a 10 yr veteran of the online dating industry.

"It's a very well done and comprehensive site," said Brad Hauck, special consultant at Promotesem.com. The site is designed to offer greater breadth and scope than similar 3d virtual chat sites, Hauck said. "Unlike other chat sites, Ticket4one doesn't advertise all over the users, in fact no advertising is seen anywhere in any chat room," he said. Hauck noted that the frequently updated site is also the only one to provide a comprehensive 100% human edited anti-spam control.

Davies explained that from the comfort of their own homes, singles can, for example, post their profile to thousands of people across the 3d virtual chat rooms, thus vastly expanding the number of singles to which their real life profiles are exposed. "They can also search for other singles around the world, as well as create their own personal chat rooms and choose who they want to let in and keep out,"

Better ONline Dating Communication

2008-04-07T22:56:00.000-07:00

If your looking to find true love online, there are numerous aspects of online dating you need to know and understand first. Below are a few things to know before you delve into online dating:

Tips For Building Your Online Dating Profile

Tip #1
Improve Your Matches by Being Clear About what your looking for

The first step in increasing others interests in you is to be clear about what you are looking for and write that into your profile.

Be clear in your profile about what you are looking for in order to weed out others. If you only want to date local men who are within 3 years of your age then you should clearly state:
I'm interested only in communicating with 22-28 year old men who live within 20 miles of Phoenix, Arizona."

Tip #2:
Use the Subject Header as a Filter

If you cant think of anything to say in your profile header then use it as a filter like:

interested only in 22-28 year old men

Tip #3:
State What Action You Want Interested People to Take

There are so many options to take when contacting a member of the opposite sex online eg. kisses ,IM ,emails etc. So be specific about the type of action you will respond to. like..

"If you're interested in communicating, send me a kiss and I'll send an email your way."

When Communicating Via Email or Chat

Tip #4:
Be Respectful

It's amazing what people will say to each other when they feel protected from harm behind a computer screen.

When you're communicating with someone via email or chat keep in mind that there is a real person on the other end with real feelings. Be respectful with the words you use.

In addition, if you are no longer interested in communicating with the person, don't just "fall off the face of the earth". Send them a short and respectful note that you are pursuing some other matches and wish them the best of luck. It is the respectable thing to do.

Tip #5:
For Conversation Ideas, Closely Reread the Person's Profile

One of the keys to good communication is talking about something that interests the other person. You can get amazing clues to their interests by carefully rereading every aspect of that person's profile and by closely analyzing the background of any pictures they have posted.

For example, if someone says in their profile "I love to travel" then that is your cue to ask questions like "what's the most fascinating place you've ever traveled to?"

By showing an interest in the other person's interests you are improving the communication that the two of you share

Dating sites VS social networking

2008-03-13T22:04:00.000-07:00

Ok so we all recognize and understand the importance of social networking sites like myspace and youtube but are they taking the dating sites on or merely creating more confusion for online dating participants.

We asked Rod Davies and Expert in online dating trends what his thoughts were. " I have been on myspace for a few years now and studied other users activities closely. Its funny but I honestly believe the ratio of business users on myspace by far outnumbers any profile that even looks like its real.

The evidence is clear for all to see. myspace is constantly re-engineering their entire platform to keep spammers and FAKE USERS from stealing traffic?

When I first joined myspace you could actually send thousands of friends request without having to fill in a security code. Now they only let you send 10.

You also used to be able to send unlimited comments to friends without having to fill in those silly security codes.

And now every time you hit a link on someone’s profile you are re-directed to a myspace page warning you about people (phishing your profile).

So naturally when I see all these items changing in the world of social networking, I can’t help but think of the type of people that need to be controlled to this extent.

Personally, I think a lot of social networking sites are full of time wasters just wanting to plug their own business. And that’s fine if your into that kind of thing. But when your actually looking for real life people that actually want to meet new friends and socialize Dating sites are around 90% more successful."

Ticket4one is gaining pace with the trends of dating sites and social networking all rolled into one. WHY? Because Ticket4one.com's profile approval process is 100% human edited. Weeding out those fake profiles.

Feel free to leave your comment and let us know your thoughts on the subject

What Users Say are the best tips for Dating

2008-02-20T23:59:00.001-08:00

We Recently asked users what they thought were the best dating tips they knew and the response was great.

This is the top ten list of tips (not in any specific order)

#1 by crkian

I haven't been out dating for so long.
Be yourself is a must though

#2 by gmoney

radical honesty. Be honest at all expenses.... if she can handle real honesty (not brutal honesty) but radical honesty then it will be all good. To many people send out a representative of themselves out on a date. This means they are not their real self. Be you and practice radical honesty!!!

#3 by acousticguitarist

don't try and be over amorous on the first date

#4 by rileycentral

Do something you both are relaxed and make sure if its an early date that you meet somewhere. It sucks when you feel like you are trapped and can't leave. This is going way back for me though, I got married in 2002

#5 by wozog

Here is my first advice. When your on the date you will probably go to a shopping area, just to look around. Keep your ears open and see if she is interested in anything. For example, you see her pick up a perfume and tries it on and she likes it. Remember which one she liked. After you go somewhere else, tell her you have to go to the bathroom. Run to the store and buy it. Now this is the hard part. All woman have purses. They love their purse and never let it out of their site. You have to somehow put the perfume into her purse. I suggest in the movie theater where it is very dark. After the date is over. She will go home and maybe that night or the next day she will find that wonderful surprise. She will HAVE to give you a call. That gift got you, a second call, showed your not cheap, showed your romantic, and most likely got you a second date. You know she will tell her girlfriends and her girlfriends will LOVE you which is another plus. Doing this will not make you look creepy, it works! Woman love this kind of stuff.

#6 by Kiwipulse
Don't try to make your partner drunk..

#7 by Anok
Hmmm, From a gal's perspective as to what we want on a date....

I haven't dated in some time now....but.....let's see. Don't puke on her shoes (I think it's relatively OK for a gal to puke on his shoes, but like I said, it's been a while), and, what else...

Oh yeah, there will be no giving of the Christmas "goose" early, got it? Chicks don't dig that.

Other than that, let the gal go into the mosh pit first, giver first crack at the bastard who did goose her (then thoroughly pummel him, thats chivalry), let her buy her own beers....and don't piss off anyone in her circle of friends. They are likely to be larger and meaner than you.

Yup, thats about it.

#8 by kdawg68
don't go out with a loaded weapon.

#9 by kdawg68
Well, I think I've learned today that no matter how tempting it is, you should probably avoid dressing up like Lion-O of the Thundercats if you are trying to impress a woman on a date.

(sorry folks but this next one was just too funny not to add)

#10 by aningeniousname
1/When on a date be interested in her and try not to go on about your wife.
2/Never pay for the date as women find his offensive.
3/Tell her before the date starts the level of intimacy she will be allowed to achieve afterwards, this should stop any embarrassing moments.
4/Women enjoy football immensely so try to steer the conversation towards this topic she will be impressed by our thoughtfulness.
5/Don't bother dressing up for your date, women like a project and she will see your lack of style and basic hygiene as an interesting challenge

Online Dating Women to Men Ratios

2008-01-18T01:06:00.000-08:00

One of the facts of online dating is that there are more men than women online. For example, Match.com recently told ABC News that 59% of their subscribers are men and 41% are women. However Ticket4one.com Has also released that they have atleast 70% women and 30% men

The high male/female ratio of online dating is not the fault of the online dating services, but it reflects the unfortunate realities of the real world. Over a decade ago I recall reading a New York Times article that stated that there were approximately 6 single men in their twenties for every five single women.

How is this possible? Aren't there an approximately equal number of boy and girl babies born each year? The biggest contributor to the skewed ratio is serial polygamy. A man in his twenties marries a woman in her twenties, then in his thirties he divorces her and marries another woman in her twenties, then in his forties he marries another women in her twenties. This happens. I have a friend who's in his fifties and his current wife is in her twenties.

There is also parallel polygamy. I woman I know, when she was in her twenties, knew a guy who had two girlfriends at the same time (neither, of course, knew of the other one's existence). And at the same time he was also hitting on her, trying to bring his harem up to three!

What's going on in the real world is reflected in the virtual world of online dating. In fact, it's skewed worse than in the real world, because online dating sites attract a much greater percentage of people who have trouble finding dates. So not only will there be more men, there will be more undesirable (for whatever reasons) members of both sexes.

Men who use online dating services will initially try to contact the few women they are interested in. But because the desirable women receive more emails than they can respond to, male subscribers eventually figure out that they have to send out massive numbers of emails because the response rate is so low. So we wind up in the situation we're in now. Female subscribers to online dating services receive more emails than they can respond to, and male subscribers send out large numbers of emails and rarely get a response.

Women actually complain about this, but I think they are in a far better situation than men. If you are a man, how do you fix the problem? The answer is that you need to move to Manhattan. There are more single women in Manhattan than men. If you do searches in Ticket4one.com for Manhattan, you will find about 50% more female profiles than male profiles. The opposite of the ratio for the rest of the United States.

Living in Manhattan and using Ticket4one.com, I've been quite happy with how many women respond to my emails. And being a nerdy IT professional, I'm not a high priority catch for most women. They'd rather be going out with the good looking athletic men. You also get to meet women of a caliber you'd never find in Phoenix, Arizona, like graduates of Harvard and Yale law schools.

Online Dating is B.S

2008-01-15T22:54:00.000-08:00

It's true. With 80 million people searching for love online the chances of actually finding someone worth dating are 1 in 100 million.

Approx 70% of all visitors are already married and just looking for a bit of side action.

Another 20% are either scammers or not what their pictures say they are.

Through in a few idiots and time wasters and what are you left with? A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF REAL ONLINE DATING ENTHUSIASTS.

So how are you going to find them? Most of our articles will show you some tips on how to avoid the wrong types of people but now I am going to show you a very quick way to attract the right ones.

Most sites now are allowing you to have a friends list. And this is one of the major sources of keeping it real. Start adding people to your friends list and keep doing it. Accept invites as well. The majority of people on a dating site will find your profile easier if your in someone’s friends list.

Everyone wants a huge friends list but only genuine singles write proper emails and comments. Avoid the profiles that send you picture comments repetitively and nothing else. They are just creating links for one of their own websites.

REMEBER REAL PEOPLE SEND REAL MESSAGES

Start your friends list right now and watch as the amount of new people visit your profile immediately.

Spot The Scammers

2008-01-07T23:20:00.000-08:00

I have written to Thousands of people online over the years. One thing I have defiantly learnt is how to pick the fakes from the real people. And now your going to have my secrets to use totally free.

Here are some of my tips.

Tip # 1 Read the profile.
Sounds simple but its not. I mean really look at the writing, study it. Is it written properly? And I don't mean little speling errors. I mean was it carefully written? Does it tell you much about the person? Or was it just thrown together quick or sound like they copied it right out of a magazine?

Nigerian scammers are online and preying on innocent people, fortunately not all of them are smart. Generally you will see a "god fearing" statements written somewhere in their profile. (It’s a warning sign only)

Tip # 2 The Profile Picture
Where is he/she pics from? If it looks too good to be true (it could be)

Tip #3 Nickname Tricks.
Luckily enough there are massive amounts of singles online who are honest and more then happy to share information. Go To www.google.com and do a search for the Nickname. And do many... Searches like "Nickname scammer" or "Nickname" or "Hate Nickname".

You may be lucky and someone has written about there experiences with your new love in the past.

Tip # 3 Get video.
Everyone has access to a webcam. If they can post a pic of themselves. Then it is possible. NEVER NEVER NEVER Believe someone that does not show themselves via webcam first. They are hiding something I promise.

Now that you have a bit of advice for online dating there is just one more thing to remember..... Regardless of your current situation you are unique and special in this world, even if you don’t feel it right now you are. SO PLEASE NEVER SEND MONEY TO ANYONE FOR ANYTHING. YOU’RE TOO GOOD TO BE PLAYED FOR A FOOL.

Online Dating: The Facts

2008-01-05T23:07:00.000-08:00

In a recent study, it was found that 2 out of every 5 single people between the ages of 24 and 50 use, or have used, Online Dating services.

Imagine That !

Think about walking into a room where there are 100 strangers and finding out that 20 of them use the same mechanic that you do. The odds are mind boggling.

They would easily confess to using the same mechanic but they won’t confess to using an Online Dating service.

Why? There still seems to be some stigma attached to Online Dating no matter how effective and rewarding it has become. Yet, it thrives and it would be a pretty safe bet that if all 100 strangers are single and between the ages of 24 and 50 that 20 of them do use, or have used, Online Dating services.

Another fact is that only about 5% of people who use Online Dating services actually establish a relationship with someone they first make contact with.

OK, think about another room full of 100 strangers only this time they all are of the opposite sex and eligible. If you walked into that room in the real world, how many would you be attracted to? Maybe 10 if you are really lucky, right? Internet dating is no different so don’t expect miracles.

Only 10% of people who join Online Dating sites actually get any replies and that is a truly sad fact.

The reason is that 90% don’t bother to write an interesting profile or upload pictures of themselves.

That’s a lot like fishing without baiting the hook. I wonder what they expected. The 10% who do get noticed have posted upbeat profiles and pictures.

Last but not least is that paid sites are better than free sites. The reason is that they work.

On free sites there is absolutely NO screening process at all! The fee for joining a paid site is small as compared to going out for dinner or buying movie tickets and you meet a lot more people in a lot less time if you work at it.

Online Dating | Minimize Your Risk Factors

2008-01-04T18:58:00.000-08:00

As you probably accept by now, Online Dating is an efficient and fun way to meet new and interesting people. However, Online Dating can be risky business and you need to protect yourself.

Most people you meet on line are exactly who they say they are but there are the perverts and sexual predators so you should use some good judgment while getting to know the stranger you have just met.

Risk Management #1:
Don’t Give Out Any Personal Information until You Have Gotten to Know the Person.

Never give your real name, address or phone number until you are sure the person you are talking to is who they say they are. Perverts, sexual predators and just plain garden variety weirdoes come in both sexes, all ages and in all shapes and sizes.
It’s truly better to be safe than sorry.

Risk Management #2:
Take Your Time Getting to Know the Other Person.

You will see a picture sooner or later of him or her. Don’t be fooled by outward appearances. The real person is the one you need to get to know.

Honest and faithful are qualities that will last but beautiful and handsome will fade with time. You don’t have to spend 24/7 with a person to find out who they are. You do need to listen to what he or she is saying carefully.

Once you think you know this person well enough to exchange personal information, don’t stop there. The Internet is a wonderful place where you can learn just about anything and everything about anybody and in just a few minutes.

Risk Management #3:
Do your Homework!

Check them out. There is an old saying among journalists. “Your mother says she loves you but check it out.” That is good advice for Online Dating and for “real world” dating too. Don’t take everything the other person tells you at face value.

Online Dating Today

2008-01-03T17:44:00.000-08:00

Online Dating services expand daily. There are over 40 million Americans who are using them… they can’t all be wrong.

Online Dating is just plain fun! You meet people from all over the world and
it’s safe and easy. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for someone
close to home or from half way around the world, Online Dating offers all
those possibilities.

Millions of singles are right there at your fingertips ready for a conversation
with you. Hundreds of thousands of new people sign up every month.

The benefits are innumerable. Right now there are millions of active
members online just waiting to talk to someone like you.

You can quickly separate those who are looking for casual relationships
from those who are looking for long term relationships and choose the
people who share your own goals and interests.

before you ever say, “Hello”.

The features on most Online Dating sites are wonderful. You will have
access to thousands of profiles, photos and even audio and video clips. Some
services even match you up with others according to your profiles.

Dating has never been more fun, not to mention, less expensive. Yes, you
pay to join any dating service that is good.

The free ones don’t offer much. But the benefits of Online Dating are many
and certainly worth the small fee that you pay for so much fun and opportunity.

Your Profile is Your Asset

2008-01-02T23:12:00.000-08:00

Once you have chosen an Online Dating service, you will be required to write a profile. Writing your profile is usually one of the first things you do.It’s also one of the most crucial factors to your Online Dating success – you either land on a date, or stay single.

Important! The most important thing to remember is that “Honesty is the best policy” because it IS the best policy.

The object is to find someone who will really like (and maybe eventually love) the real you. It’s hard to write the truth about yourself and not what you hope others think of you but you must try. You need to be honest with yourself and honest about yourself. It’s the first step in meeting that special someone.

THE “someone” who will love you, quirks, imperfections and all but you don’t need to sell yourself short either.

Online Dating Mistakes to Avoid

2008-01-01T22:01:00.000-08:00

While you search the internet for that special lady…the one of your dreams…your soul-mate... the other half of yourself, you can do a lot of things right. Sadly, you can, also, do a lot of things wrong... things that will guarantee failure and a broken heart.

Out in the “real” world, being aggressive, demanding perfection and even little white lies are all ingredients for success. However, those same qualities are killers when you are dating online and off line, too, for that matter.

There is a big difference between being aggressive or confident and being too aggressive, over-confident, or just plain sleazy or slimy from a woman’s point of view. If you push too hard for a face-to-face, you will come across as too aggressive... maybe even, scary.

Try to remember that you are not trying to close a business deal and keep the relationship progressing at a slow but steady pace. Patience is the key.

Nobody is perfect. We are all flawed in some way or another... and that includes you, as well. If you expect the woman to be absolutely perfect and demand that, you will always be disappointed. Demanding perfectionism in your work is one thing.

Demanding perfectionism from a friend, co-worker or a lady you are interested in is not just fine. It won’t happen. Expect flaws and just deal with them. Decide the ones you can live with and those you can’t.

Little white lies and false fronts won’t work. Be honest from the beginning of a relationship. Write your profile. Make it interesting but don’t make false statements.

The truth will come out eventually anyway. If you say you are a lawyer who makes a million bucks a year and you are really an electrician that makes $75,000, you have set yourself up for failure.

Remember, don’t be too aggressive, expect to ever find perfection or put on a false front.

Online Flirting – A New Art Form

2007-06-11T19:26:00.000-07:00

Many of the same things work for online flirting that work for “brick and mortar” flirting and all relationships begin with successful flirting.

Flirting is an art that requires oozing confidence without being OTT. If you go too far, she will label you “slimy” If you don’t go far enough, she will label you “wimpy”.

So how do you achieve that point half way between slimy and wimpy and do it online without using eye contact or body language?

All you have is a computer an internet connection and membership in an online dating site, right?

1. Have fun! Be light-hearted, funny and entertaining. Make her eager to talk to you again. Flirting is playful.

2. Ooze confidence. Successful flirts have a positive outlook on life. You need to transmit the “feel good” factor. An optimistic attitude attracts females like honey attracts flies.

3. 3. Compliment her…and do it often and sincerely. Nothing opens doors like making her feel good about herself. She will want to spend more time with you and if she pays you a compliment say “thank you”. Do Not be self depreciating.

4. Listen…listen….listen. Pay attention to what she says and ask appropriate questions. Get her to open up and talk about herself. Make her feel like she is interesting and that you are interested in her. Works wonders!

5. Don’t be rude. Flirting does not include being sexually explicit nor taking offence if the lady isn’t responding to you. If she isn’t interested, take the hint and move on to the next prospect. If you get a lot of rejections, you should probably consider a different approach.

6. Send an email after you chat. This ranks right up there with sending a thank you note for a gift and it is vital to successful flirting.

Don’t try to go too fast. Flirting is the first step to a successful relationship.

Until the next time!

Online Dating Safety For Men

2007-01-07T23:06:00.000-08:00

Almost everything you read about online dating safety is directed at women but men need to be concerned as well.

Perverts, sexual predators and weirdoes come in both sexes, all sizes, and all ages…as do, liars and cheaters. So men need to stay on guard, too.

It is common knowledge not to readily give out personal information to strangers.

The reason for not doing so is as large as the number of strangers who want that information. If you come across a person who is giving out personal information and asking others to do the same, don’t do it.

You don’t know what they want to use it for….and you had better believe they want to use it for something. That “something” will not be for your benefit.

Men, also, need to guard their real names, addresses, phone numbers, and place of employment.

Do not give that information to anyone online until you are confident that they are who they say they are.

Men, be wary of women who seem too financially needy. If they ask for money, in any of a dozen ways women can ask for money, cut the relationship off immediately. They are not looking for love or even friendship….they are looking for financial help.

If a woman gives you a contact number but you cannot ever reach her at that number, beware.

If you always have to page them or text them and have them call you back, this could be a sign that what they are telling you is not the complete truth.

A need to get married and insecurity are other signs men should be very wary of. If the woman is pushing too hard for a commitment you aren’t ready to make, it might be a good time to head for the nearest exit.

Until then....

Online Dating is NOT a Contest!

2006-12-14T22:24:00.000-08:00

Online dating is not a competition between competing males for the attention of a female. Grow up. Change your mind set from “winning” to “searching”. This isn’t high school.

You are all grown up and have been for quite some time, now. Your attitude is the most important asset you have. You should like yourself and not concentrate of all of the things that aren’t YOUR idea of the perfect guy…the one the all women want.

What is that women want, you ask?

That’s the age old question. Being of the female persuasion myself, I can tell you a few things women want and don’t want.

Women want a man to be confident... NOT an arrogant jerk.

There’s a big difference. You need to like yourself and not be self depreciating but you don’t need to come across like you believe that you are a gift to them from God and have just fallen from the sky. They don’t want you to think that THEY just fell from heaven and are some kind of perfect being, either.

They can’t live up to that expectation.

Women want a communicator. The “strong silent type” really isn’t appealing at all.

They think you probably don’t have an original thought in your head and you probably haven’t heard a word they said, either or that you just don’t care what they said or didn’t even hear what they said.

They want you to be interesting enough to want to know more about you and they want you to think that they are interesting enough to ask intelligent questions about what is important to them, too.

Women do NOT want to be a prize to be won. They don’t want to be a trophy.
They want to be the ONE woman that you want to be with.

Online Dating for Single Men

2006-12-03T00:14:00.000-08:00

No matter what your age, height, weight or physical appearance, there are thousands of women out there eager to meet you and eager for your company…whether short-term or long-term relationships are what you want.

If you have found yourself suddenly “on-the-market” again after a relationship has dissolved or are just too busy with your work to spend a lot of time looking for a lady to keep you company, online dating can open the door to the dating scene for you.

The good news is that all you need is a computer and an internet connection to get started.

The first thing to do is find an online dating site that fits your needs. There are the large sites that offer many extras like live video chat and even match you up with ladies using your profiles and, also, a lot of sites that cater to special interests like religious preferences, outdoor enthusiasts, gays, etc.

You need to choose one or two that will meet your needs. I don’t recommend the free sites. The paid sites have a money back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied and the investment is small. A whole month costs less than one dinner and movie date.

The next thing you need to do is write a killer, but honest, profile and upload a recent but flattering picture of yourself.

Now you are all set. Start contacting ladies whose profiles sound interesting to you and answer any lady who contacts you…and do so promptly…not, however, on holidays or weekends.

You don’t want to appear that desperate. Don’t give up after a month and think you will never find the right lady for you.

New people join online dating services daily and at least half of them are ladies many, of whom, will want to meet you.

Until the next time!

Successful dating comes from a combination of small steps that lead up to the dating relationship.

Based upon interviews with several happy couples who met online, here are what they advise to get the most out of your dating experience.

Move Past the Past
-------------------

Everyone has failures or mistakes from the past, be it a failed relationship, career choice, educational goal or whatever. To become successful, you need to learn from your past, value those difficult lessons but do not dwell on them. Instead, simply move forward and make better, more educated decisions.

Don’t Give Up Dreams
---------------------

You need to have dreams and aspirations. Be honest with yourself as to what you want out of life and what you want to give of your life. Allow your mind to dream and think big - -and keep at it, persevere. You may have to test different dating sites, date several people. So keep at your dreams, even when it becomes challenging.

You have a choice in life to accept many things in your life or change them. For example, if you feel inferior because you never completed college, go back and finish. Ditto with technology. Don’t understand emailing attachments, learn. Ditto with relationships. Forget about staying in abusive situations. Take charge, get help and change your environment.

Dating Online Profile Security

2006-06-13T01:01:00.000-07:00

Dating online is becoming more and more popular, with people from all over the world logging online to search for a soul mate in cyberspace. However, like all other businesses that are conducted online, hackers are always out there to track you down for your personal information. Here some sharp tips to protect yourself from any attempts of having your personal information stolen and abused online.

Ok so you have found your chat room, dating site, that matches your interest, introduce yourself with information that you know people cannot trace back to you, Leave things in a more general perspective. NEVER write your phone number, email address, real name, home address anywhere on the site where other members can see it. You only need to write your email address for the dating sites administrator to verify who you are but after that, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Wait until you have started chatting with someone whom you truly click with and have spoken to for a while.

Join the chat room regularly start to form friendships with the regular members there. Again keep your personal email address to yourself until you are certain you want to meet someone from there. Be honest, and be yourself – after all, being natural is what will endear you to a particular mate.

Once you have made up your mind to start emailing someone keep your correspondence limited until you get to know the person well enough to feel comfortable sharing your phone number and talking for the first time. If you need a good icebreaker, start off the chat by talking about the website or chat room where you met and any special interests that brought you two together.

If you are interested in a few online people, consider setting up a free e-mail account like hotmail or yahoo to share information with each other.

Avoid extremely large, public chat rooms. A lot of people visit these chat rooms to see what they can get away with. Try focusing on smaller, targeted websites or chat rooms that come from a reputable site you can trust.

If you decide to meet each other in person, choose a neutral, public place. You may even choose a town or city that’s not the same as the one where you live. Restaurants, parks, theaters and other public places where people gather often are a good place to start. Alternately, you could choose to attend a special event in your area together, perhaps a concert, festival or fair.

If you follow these tips, chances are you will have a great time with your online dating. Remember to be honest and be yourself! If you do, chances are that you will find that perfect special someone who enjoys you for who you are.

Dating sites review

Ticket4one dating sites review: Thinking about trying Online Dating but not really sure if it’s the right thing for you? I have been surfing the net for years wondering in and out of websites cruising for the right one and the right people. Finally I have found my wife to be and i am here to share with you my finest secrets on how to use Internet dating to its maximum and find your soul mate.
If your trying online dating or just about to take that exciting plunge into finding your souls companion online. Then you must read this free Dating info article first. I am going to save you years off your search and teach you how to avoid the thousands of annoying fake profiles currently online for free. THAT’S RIGHT FREE!
Ok so your tired of sitting at home waiting for Mr. or Mrs. right to walk in through your lounge room door and sweep you off your feet. And you have probably been wondering where people go to meet other singles that think about life the way you do. Night clubs are cool and full of a lot of singles, but its really hard to meet genuine heart felt people that have a dozen beers under their belt.
You are an amazing human being and you should wake up everyday and tell yourself that. There are literally millions of single people out there that are just dying inside for someone to just talk to. A lot of these singles have already joined the online dating scene and often log onto their favorite site to just say hi to people after a long day at work.
There are loads of websites on the market that offer everything. Some free, and others that are very expensive. So what’s the main difference between them? and how can you choose which ones are better suited to you? To be honest I believe I would be a member of at leaast 10 dating sites. And let me say that at least 9 of them are garbage. Some Great site Qualities to look for when trying online dating:
Opening of the site is professional
Members pics on front page
Choose a site that isn’t afraid to show how many members it has
Often a site with fewer numbers gives you greater chances to be noticed by others
Choose a site that you can join for free before you have to pay for sending emails.
Look for a description of what the site offers before joining; make sure it’s not a porn site.
Professional Dating sites are by order of the law, under strict guidelines in regards to your personal information are therefore prohibited from distributing any of your personal information onto second or third parties. As a rule of thumb its always good practice to read their terms of use and privacy policies first. If a site doesn’t have both of these DON’T JOIN. Normally you will find these tags at the bottom of the page.
Sitting at home or at work will not improve your chances of finding that someone special. If you were going to buy a car would you be more inclined to buy a car sitting in the back of someone’s garage not advertised, or do you think that you would more then likely buy a car from a car yard. You know the one with the red display flags hanging all over it. That’s right, you would definitely buy the car from the car yard cause it’s advertised. The same thing applies to your dating life.
Once you have joined a website don’t pay right away for email usage. Upload a picture if you can, it increases your chances of people emailing you. Search for other member’s profiles and send Virtual kisses first. Once you can see other members are interested in you and that they are roughly the type of people you want to get to know then upgrade for a paid membership and begin communicating.
Now you have all the tools needed for a successful online dating campaign. Before you read this article you were probably a bit apprehensive about joining a dating site but think about all the things you just learnt.
