Gift Giving: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
SaturdayThis is it, the last weekend before Christmas. Have you completed all of your shopping? I know that I’ll be finishing up tomorrow, online. No mall crowds for me, just a few clicks and a credit card and luxury chocolates and tshirts will be mailed to friends and relatives in time for Christmas morning.
Gift giving is certainly one of those high-stress activities. Give the wrong gift and send the wrong message. Ouch!
Of course, give the right gift and you’re a hero. I hope you’ve been paying attention to your partner, they’ve been giving you clues all month. I will be giving earrings to my wife and luxury chocolates to relatives and funny tshirts to the kids. Simple.
If you’re still looking for that special someone, then you’ll need a headline for your profile, and in the spirit of the season I offer you this headline to use today:
“No wrapping required!”
Have a great day!
Friday’s Conversation Topics
This week’s best news stories that are great to talk about is what you’re about to read, because if you have nothing to say you’re nothing but a flower stuck on the wall… get it “wall flower”?
Sure, not my best “Joke of the Day” but it get’s all the marks it’s due by the effort put behind it. Or something… thanks to Craig Ferguson for making all of this possible. It’s true what they say, it wasn’t Al Gore that created the Internet, it was Craig Ferguson!
And on to this week’s best conversational news stories:
- Porn for Kinect. It had to happen, right? After all, it’s the porn industry that has made the biggest “enhancements” to the WWW as we know it. Voice chat (live and with bots), video (recorded and streamed live), hell, even USB plugin attachments that touch you (gently and in the places you most want) too. Kinect sex just makes sense, doesn’t it? Well? Direct CNET quote “The demo shows that the Kinect is suitable for fairly well controlled hand gestures and that those gestures can be incorporated into a sex game. Without being too graphic, it’s clear that the game makers imagine that players will be using the Kinect to interact directly with women (for now) in the game.” Read the full article and see the game video here.
- “Tron: Legacy” finally comes to the big screens (a maybe a lot of small screens too) today. I won’t be going to see this movie and I won’t be watching it at home unless it comes as 2D. I’m just not ready to be entertained that much by a 3D movie…
- $450.00 for a Christmas tree? Sure, if you have money to burn (yes, even in this economy there are people that still make money) and enjoy the season more than most (again, because you have money to burn). Ho ho ho.
- The wedding proposal… guy’s, the bar has gotten very high this year. Film creator comments “For the whole romantic story, check out my blog post: http://ceaserphotography.com/blog/archives/192 The Proposal is a short film I created to propose to my longtime love, Sara. Filmed and edited like a movie trailer, the proposal was shown in a real movie theater at the Red River Theater http://www.redrivertheatres.org in Concord New Hampshire on 12/12/10 at 4pm. Dear friends and family snuck into the theater after the lights went down and were present when the trailer debuted. Music credit: “Yours Alone” by Nicholas Kirk and William Wilkerson.

Winter Weather: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Tuesday
Thanks to all that offered their support as I dug myself out of a mountain of snow, your cheery thoughts kept my toes warm for several seconds… (watching too much Craig Ferguson, eh?!)
But seriously, I am glad that this is over. For now. I certainly feel for the hundreds stranded on a highway in Ontario and the countless numbers of people dragging their asses after a white-knuckle episode of driving to (and later from) work. Egads!
So anyways, I do have a point here, it’s enjoy the weather when you can because if we’re lucky it won’t last long! But there will be more tomorrow.
Which also leads us to today’s profile headline suggestion, so consider this:
“There will be snow, who will keep you warm?”
Have a great day!
Wiki Dating?
Julian Assange at OKCupid.com?
I bet he’s seeing a lot of hits now… even with the “false name” and very interesting profile he had posted…
Read the Village Voice interview with OKcupid.com here and there’s even a link to check out Julian Assange’s profile (a little stale with the last recorded login date of December 2009 at the time of this disclosure, but nonetheless).
Photo note: This photo, which appears on OKCupid, is credited to Martina Haris and was placed in the public domain on the instruction of Julian Assange.
People at play: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
People at play
Sign up or Log in… more and more websites are asking you to sign up or log in to see personalized content, even so much as sharing your information across many web sites. (We don’t do that here, too much!)
The big giant is, of course, Facebook which has it’s fingers in hundreds of other websites for friend recommendations and such. It’s a nice feature, without a doubt, because it does keep you connected with your social circle. But unless you know how much sharing of your information you are really doing, you might want to logout or turn off the sharing features until you’re more comfortable with all of this.
We are constantly being barraged with messages to buy things and having these sales pitches customized without your complete consent may not be the best thing in the world (online), don’t you agree? And here’s a tip if you’re searching for a job: do a search for yourself and see what comes up. A future employer will likely do the same thing so you want to see what they’ll find.
You might also want to do a “Super logout” at Facebook, if your page is very personal or has content you particularily wouldn’t want an employer reading about you. The “Super logout” is simply deactivating your account. This does not delete your account and you can re-activate it at a later time, but this technique stops people from seeing anything about you on Facebook which is what you’d want. Click on “Account” and “Account settings” and choose “Deactivate account” and you’re done.
Many online dating services also allow you to put your dating profile into a “hidden” state, which is great if you’ve found a few dates and don’t want to be seen as still looking for more, so one click to hide your profile and another click to be available again.
As far as your online dating profile the amount of information about you made available depends on the service and how they are set up as far as the required information and the optional information is displayed. But just because the question is asked don’t think you absolutely have to provide an answer. Many dating services have an “Ask me later” option for some questions, so feel free to use it as you will.
My headline suggestion for you today is this:
“Please ask me anything, this could be the start of something great!”
Have a great day!
