Periodically this blog receives comments pertaining to Date Raters, Don’t Date Him Girl and other reputation exposé and management sites where people can look up usernames on dating sites and find out where someone stands on the crazy/perfection scale. I’ve worked with a number of identity and reputation management startups over the years, and was [...]

We women understand that just the thought of February 14 has the power to inspire pure panic in most men. We get it — Valentine’s Day is the one 24-hour period when the likelihood of a potential misstep that negates all the work you’ve put in trying to think up “sensitive” questions to ask us and pretend you’re not a mouth breather increases exponentially.
Tiger Woods is a playa'

We’ve all heard a lot about Tiger Woods’ “transgressions” since the now-infamous accident and hospital visit around Thanksgiving. He recently announced his comeback to the tour, but in between, he was “rehabilitated” in a sex addiction clinic. I can’t help but put my two cents in.

It may not be standard fare, but consider adding a few buds for your best gal pals to your Valentine’s Day budget this year. Now, don’t get weird — it doesn’t have to be a gigantic vase of red roses. Tulips, carnations and other “friendly” flowers are totally acceptable and can tell someone you’re thinking about them without pissing off your significant other or being creepy. And if you order early from sites such as the aforementioned FTD, 1-800-FLOWERS and the like, you can probably even get some good deals on V-day bouquets that will reward you for your rampant generosity!
I saw a ridiculous article today (so ridiculous that it doesn’t deserve to get a link from this site). In the article, the writer was trying to make the argument that people don’t lie in their online dating profiles. That’s right – the whole buzz about people lying in their profiles is wrong because nobody flat-out lies in their profile.
The writer went on to describe these less-than-truthful profiles as being written by "people pleasers," the kind of folks who just want everyone to like them and thus try to be everything to everybody.
So in reality, these folks aren’t liars. They see themselves as taller, thinner, and generally better than their average selves.
When John describes himself as 5′9" when he’s really 5′7", it’s not a lie. John just really feels that he stands taller than the average guy who is 5′7". He FEELS 5′7" and that’s enough, right?
When Mary describes herself as "About Average" when she’s barely squeezing i …
It's an Email, Not a Metaphor

As you might have heard, there’s a whole lot of basketball going on right now – the NCAA Championships, to be exact. Everywhere I went last weekend, people were cheering at TV screens, discussing schools.
The fun thing about it is that everyone has their hopes for who will win, but they all know that it could go to anyone – probably some school that nobody expected. A game is capable of going any way, at any time. I find this refreshing; compare this to the Superbowl, where the outcome of just one game was tied to the hopes and dreams of New Orleans, the validation of the career of Archie Manning… It was a little ridiculous, really.
I find online dating – and maybe all dating – is the same way. When you look at an online dating site, there’s a vast pool of prospects. Sending emails and going on dates is a way of narrowing the brackets of potential matches; sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t. Eventually it will get narrowed down, but you’re meeting pe …
I'm Vague, Boring, and Forgettable

Usually, I’m all about telling people to look outside their box, to avoid being too picky. When searching for potential matches on a dating site, I often recommend looking for general common interests; you don’t have to match up perfectly. General, not specific, is the way to go when looking for someone else.
However, when constructing your own profile, being general, not specific, is the surest way to become utterly forgettable.
Here’s an example: “I like music. I like some of everything; I go in phases.” Okay, I am someone who has very broad tastes in music, so I sympathize with this instinct, I really do. Your tastes are varied! You’re so much more than a one-note music appreciator! The problem is, does saying “I like music” – like most of the population – really say anything about you at all? Rather than coming off as a connoisseur, you fade into the background – just another generic profile.
So we’ve established that you want to use specific examples in …

Afgelopen zaterdag stond er een artikel in de Gelderlander over een onderzoek wat gedaan was aan de Radboud Universiteit te Nijmegen over hoe het kan dat er maar weinig mannen boven de 40+ (speed) daten. Aangezien de doelgroep van be2 over het algemeen wat hoger ligt, vond het ik het wel interessant …
