New Year’s Resolution: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Chaos Theory

Chaos Theory

Friday: The Last Day of the Year

Will you be making the world a better place today?

Now, I don’t plan on going weird on you, or beg for money for the starving and uneducated masses of children in the world.

But carry this thought with you today, even as you plan out your New Year’s resolutions; that is, if there is something about you that is broken and needs fixing.

Every one of us has the power to make a positive influence on someone else’s life and there are times when this is a better thing to do, and as a bonus, it carries with it points for self-improvement too.

So when someone asks you what your New Year’s resolution is, say to them “I’m going to make the world a better place”.
Examples of this would be:
- Holding a door open for a stranger
- Helping an elderly man or woman to cross the street, hold an elavator for them
- Being friendly and cordial in long lineups at the cashier when getting groceries or any other lineup

Small changes can bring big results, just as in “Chaos Theory”.

For your headline today stand out from the crowd and post as your healine:
“I hope to make the world a better place”.

Have a great day!

Fun Dates: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Pasta dinner for two.

Pasta dinner for two.

Wednesday

Fun is defined by the person that is having it.

For instance, if you’re with someone and you know that a roller-coaster is fun, so you convince the other person to go on the roller-coaster too, but they don’t have fun, right there we have two differing ideas of what fun it. The person that had fun on the ride is certainly in a different place after the ride and the person that didn’t think the roller-coaster ride was fun, well, there in an entirely different place too, aren’t they?

Fun is simply a word that is associated with what YOU like and not necessarily someone else. This is a straight fact that can make your “date location decision” a whole lot harder.

The basics of a fun first date are:
- You must communicate with each other as a natural part of the date (the opposite would be being at a movie theater watching a movie, in the dark, where talking if frowned upon).
- Should be interactive between the two of you. Examples would be bowling, cooking class, mini-golf, etc. Going to a Red Cross CPR class is not a good first date, but maybe an activity 6 weeks down the road of the dating relationship.
Remember: communication and activity.

For today’s fun dating ad headline suggestion I suggest this:
“I would love to learn to cook Italian food. Are you with me?”

Have a great day!

Promises: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Sunday

Welcome to Boxing Day!

Time to get those limited specials, stand in line for hours to get some refurbished shit that wasn’t available 48 hours earlier.

So sad…

Such is our consumerism that we are like sheep led to the slaughter with promises of the lowest prices ever and the self-created crown hysteria. Ugh.

On another topic: Are you leading a stereotypical life and not even knowing it?

For instance, if you googled “painter of apartments” because that is your job, does the description that finds it’s way to the top of the search results accurately reflect your professional life, and even your life beyond your painter skills?

It may take a few clicks to find what you are as others may search for you, before sending you that first message, so be prepared.

Research into what people may find out about you, your job, where you live. All of this information is out there. You need to be prepared for the questions that might follow concerning what you write in your profile.

And for your dating ad headline today use this:
“Staying in today, want to go bargain shopping on Monday?”

Have a great day!

Santa Gifts: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Cheating Santa out of his...

Cheating Santa out of his...

Wednesday

We are now moving into the “Merry all ye gentlemen” period of crap that grabs a hold of people and relentlessly shakes the shit out of their wallets and scratches the hell out of the magnetic strips on their credit cards.

Now, I’m not going to declare myself immune to the temptations of the celebration. I’ve been known to wander aimlessly through the malls, without a gift idea between my ears, and walk out several thousand dollars poorer. Ce la vie.

I hope you stick to your gift buying list better than I, or at least only gave out your gift lift to others and did not accept any lists in return. “Sorry, honey, I couldn’t find your list so I got you this box of jelly filled donuts…. You’re welcome…. Stop throwing things at me! Save the donuts for later!”

And if you have no one to give a great gift to, then take the money and start a savings account for a great vacation for two. Then when you’ve saved enough money for two tickets, go yourself if you’re still single. Just go for twice as long! Or take that great person you met a Perfectmatch.com and have the time of your life. (I will leave the choice on what to do to you.)

The list of people who aren’t great and don’t deserve a gift can be short (if you’re happy) and long if you’re seeking Christmas (pissed off) revenge. I will not start or end your list, but I will say “Don’t leave out milk and cookies for Santa. He’s not coming.”

And since we are now covering a wide range of topics that include buying gifts, not giving great gifts, saving money for a hedonist vacation and, finally, cheating Santa out of his standard reward, let’s complete this massacre of a post with this headline that will dramatically increase the replies you get to your online profile:
“Do you want me to put a good word in for you with Santa? We’re buddies.”

Have a great day!

Original: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Hidden behind these walls is...

Hidden behind these walls is...

Sunday

Yesterday it snowed enough that today I’m going to feel real guilty about not shoveling the driveway later… it seems like just last Sunday I had this same issue, that is, the guilt about shoveling or not shoveling… any other type of guilt just (… hehehe…) doesn’t exist. Ugh.

If that makes any sense at all you’re just not hung over enough…. Or I am too much.

Sundays I generally designate as the “redo your profile day” and today isn’t any different.

Editing your profile gives a fresh coat of paint on your profile and always leads, hopefully, to more people stopping by to read what you’ve written about yourself and the type of person you’d like to meet.

It is amazing how many guys write the things they think women want to read and, like bad pickup lines, they’re shunned like an overdue credit card bill.

You don’t have to be totally original, just a bit more sincere, guys,to raise the number of replies you’ll be getting.

So go with “redo your profile day” and be ready for a lot more emails sent to your profile.

While you’re at it, maybe you’d like to use this as your headline too:
“I am THE ONE ready to meet YOU.”
Have a great day!

Gifts: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Santa Robert

Saturday

I don’t know about you but today is when I finish off my Christmas gift shopping.

Whether I’m ordering gift baskets to be delivered to family members far away or I’m hitting the malls in search for the “perfect gift” for all of my special someones, today is the day my shopping is done.

I hope.

If you’re like me, with all the “man toys” that can be owned, then you’re also a hard person to find a suitable gift for. So I have a rule, no “self-shopping” in December. It’s very tempting to add stuff to your personal toy collection but just add it to a list that your family can, maybe, choose a gift for you from. There’s always January to buy what I find that I suddenly need and sometimes the “need” wears off before the New Year even arrives. If I find that I really do “need” something I found while gift shopping then I try to hold off, as I said, until January. And if I make it into the month I try to again exercise some restraint and not buy anything for myself until the new Year’s first credit card bills come in.

That is the part that often scares the hell out of me, the bills.

I’m sure the thought of some high credit cards bills might scare you too…. but recent surveys have said that even more people this year than during Christmas 2009 are buying gifts with cash and not credit. Good for you people. I envy you. I’ll be buying more than you…LOL

So anyways…. It’s seriously time to find a date for the holidays, and more importantly, New Year’s Eve.

If you work hard at meeting some nice people then you’re going to be able to get two dates from today to the 20th, which leaves open (or not) the possibility of a Christmas Day Dinner, or a night-time date for New Year’s Eve. Or both.

The game is straight poker and I’ve dealt you 4 kings. Only one hand can beat you, bet it all!

As you’re waiting to see if you’ve won the jackpot, change your dating profile headline to this:
“While I have my hand out…”

Have a great day!
