Valentine’s Day Ideas

Sue — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:25:22 +0000

Are you wondering what men and women really want for Valentine’s Day? Dr. Phil has the answer!

While eating lunch today I watched a bit of the Dr Phil show. He said he was going to reveal the answers from a poll he had run on his website.

What did women want for Valentine’s Day? 65% said they wanted a romantic evening planned by their man. This was followed by jewelry at 15%.

The number one choice for men was sex. 86% of men who answered the poll said this is what they wanted compared to only 6% of women. An 80% difference! Only 13% of men said they wanted a romantic evening.

Dr. Phil ended that segment by saying, “what we think is romantic is not what women think is romantic.” How true!

High End MatchMaker in Vancouver, BC

Sue — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 17:15:36 +0000

If you were a multi-millionaire looking for the perfect wife, what would you do? One such man hired Janis Spindel, a New York based matchmaker, to find her for him. With fees starting at $100,000 this matchmaker isn’t for everyone!

In late June Spindel and her assistants were in Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA to interview women to see if any were a potential match for her client. After posting ads in the local media hundreds of women showed up and paid the $25 fee (which included a copy of Spindel’s book) to take a chance at finding love.

Hmm… it sure sounds a lot like Cinderella. I wonder if they had to try on a glass shoe.

Eliminating Dating Fraud

Sue — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 10:05:00 +0000

SateDate.com and DatingHeadShots.com have created an alliance in an effort to promote safe dating online. Some states are pushing online dating sites to verify their member’s identity in an effort to prevent fraud.

While I see the benefits to a verification or background check, there are also a couple of disadvantages.

Individuals could include a line in their profiles stating that they have been verified by SafeDate, along with any link proving this fact. But how many individuals are going to take responsibility and do that?
If a dating site required a verification of identity for each member, then the system would work better as frauds (hopefully) would be denied access.

Whether the dating sites will integrate the ‘SafeDate’ verification stamp of approval into their sites or use their own system is another question.

Dating Safety: Is your date who they say they are?

Sue — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 15:57:39 +0000

Do we really know if the person we’re dating is who they say they are? If you’re wondering…

DatingSafe.com offers two types of background checks of people in the United States. This fee-based service can find: age, addresses, aliases, criminal records etc.

But the report generated may not be error free and they recommend having it independently verfied. Just read their FAQ.

Please note – I haven’t tried this service and therefore can’t recommend it.

If you’ve ever been frustrated, in pain, or just plain having a bad day… the song Dream Big performed by Ryan Shupe & The Rubber Band is for you. It’s also being featured in promotions for NBC ‘Three Wishes’show hosted by Amy Grant.

Here is part of the chorus:

When you dream, dream big

As big as the ocean blue

When you dream it might come true

When you dream, dream big

Watch the Dream Big video

Plus it’s a reminder to never settle for less than you deserve. Why bother dreaming small when you just might make that big dream happen?!
