A recent survey carried out by makefriendsonline.com found that men are far more excited about seeing a woman at the other end of a webcam than a lady.
When the site asked its members if they’d like a Video Chat option, 75% of men were eager to try it out, while only 44% of women liked the idea.
Could this be anything to do with how a man’s fantasy and imagination wanders I ask?
A survey carried out by Topdates, a UK based internet dating service, has found that out of 3000 people who took part in a questionnaire all about interaction with dating sites, that a whopping 83% have been on a dating site at some point!
It then found that a third of those registering finding a long-term relationship and a quarter still going strong. And just to throw in a happy ending, six per cent got married.
A spokesman for Topdates, who undertook the survey, said: “Internet dating is becoming more and more popular in our fast moving world but it’s a sad state of affairs when people say they are too busy to go out and socialising. However, it can be a great way to meet people online and you can search for people who are into similar things to you or who live nearby.”
Founded by a being called ‘Koda’, Astro-Dating.com is one of those sites you are told about and have to see it to believe it!
Like most dating sites you can search by overall compatibility, friendship, romance, sex or money, and according to the site, members are listed in order of their astrological compatibility. SO, it goes for the scientific approach of finding someone suitable through a score system named The Astro-Grid® (patent pending).
Click a score and a personalised astrological interpretation appears describing the area of compatibility being compared. Another button lets you print out an 8-12 page, personalized compatibility report between yourself and any other member.
So what do you get for joining Koda and his gang:
• Details on compatibility with celebrities
• 12 page compatibility reports
• Chat rooms with ‘private windows’
• Astro-Mail
• Community get togethers (probably held somewhere around Waco)
Membership is free up until December 2010 … bonus, but you will probably need to go through some sort of ceremony with a goat!
Speed dating seems to be taking off in a big way. Emerging a few years back many of us expected it to be one of those ‘fads’ that die out by Christmas!
From a man who’s now been to 4 speed dating events in the UK, I have formulated a very good strategy to ensure success at every event. Below you will see my quick guide to getting lucky at seed dating:
Don’t get battered!
Drunk people do and say stooped things. A couple of drinks calm the nerves but they also bring out the truth. The last thing you want to do is give to much away about you or your feelings about them, good or bad!
Choose the right event & location
There are loads of companies, individuals and organisations running these events now – it’s easy money, so why not. Just make sure you research the company and the sort of people it attracts to its events. Nothing worse than a pikie looking girl telling you she has 200 piercings and you can only see 2! Location is also key, if you want a classy choice go to the classy areas, and pay a little more if needs be!
Operating in 23 cities across the UK, Slow Dating is one of the biggest speed dating companies in the UK and they clearly have bags of experience.
At a typical event you will meet a minimum of 15-20 people your age, wishing to meet someone for a relationship. From what I can tell most of their events sell out very quickly, so they must be good. You get 4 minutes with each person (more time thn the average event - hence the name), and after each you make your notes bout them.
After the event you use their website to get back in touch with someone you perhaps fancied – simple.
Generally an event will start at 7.30pm and finish between 9.45 and 10pm, and cost £20 or £25 for all your evening’s entertainment.
Here are the locations they operate in. Check out the site to see when the next event is coming to your area.
