Adult Internet Dating – An Historically Significant Event Maybe?

by Jayde Johanssen

Why do people use Adult Dating sites? There are so many of them that they must be popular. If you browse through one, you’ll see they have millions and millions of members. The masses of people attracted to adult dating sites so massively outnumber regular dating sites, they make the regulars look like minority groups in a sexually focused world.

This popularity confounds me because adult dating sites are based on a concept of promiscuity. This behaviour does not reflect the real world. Society is much more conservative than the concept of “Adult Dating” So how did this part of the industry become so popular?

Clearly the dating site “profile” plays a big part in this. It gives us anonymity from the people we are communicating with, and the rest of the world, till we build a level of trust. As such, the exposure to rejection and pain associated with such rejection is much less on the internet than in real life. Ie. There is very little opportunity for public humiliation. But does this allow people to be more direct, courageous and honest about chasing their sexual desires? Is “under the cloak of darkness” a very real factor here?

If so, it will be interesting to see in coming years, whether the adult dating phenomena will have any impact on society. For example, will the new “honesty” skills we learn on these types of websites translate into “honesty” skills in social situations.

How will dating evolve? Will flirting and good manners gradually disappear, to be replaced by a more direct form of communication. A direct question followed by a direct answer, all based on a courage born from a loss of sensitivity to rejection.

Or will it go the other way? Will we lose our social skills, only being forthright when we have the cover of an “internet alias” or the like.

These questions while interesting, I’ll leave for the social historians to answer. I have many too many people to contact today. I’ve just joined a new site and there are millions of people I haven’t met yet.

Five Must-Have Dating Tips For Women

by Expert Online Dating Help

Society has taught women to wait for a man to approach them. So what if the guy does not make the first move? Should the woman should take the reigns into her own hands and approach him? The following dating tips for women may help to find men sooner than you think.

1. Take the risk – There are places that are totally risqu, and a woman might find it difficult to handle herself in social situations such as clubs because she was never a party girl in the past. Many dating tips for women will tell you that the clubs are the best places to meet men.

Take a risk and look for ads listing singles parties and casual gatherings. However, make sure to ask a friend to go with you because flying solo can be dangerous. You have a better chance to meet men (the decent sort) at a fun party when you’re with a girl friend than if you show up alone. If no girl friend is available, bring a guy friend. Your guy friend may know more dating tips for women than any of your girl friends anyway.

2. Don’t be too available – Making yourself too available for men will come across as being too desperate to date. It’s ironic that you have to make yourself somewhat unreachable to be desirable. Don’t wear your heat on your sleeve and leave something out when you’re talking to a guy for the first time. Instead of enumerating facts about you, ask him questions that will make him talk about his background.

3. Be interested – Other dating tips for women will tell you to “be interesting”, and I’m going to modify that tip by telling you to “be interested”. Have you ever heard the expression “give to receive”? This saying is particularly true in dating. Look at him directly when he’s talking and listen closely when he’s describing himself to you. There are elements in your conversation that you can file away for reference later. Take note of hints that tell you about his love life. Sometimes, men will talk the night away about themselves if you let them.

4. Try not to overanalyze his intentions ? Many men will show signs of friendliness, which are easily mistaken for flirting. Chivalry is not completely dead and many guys will still offer to drive you home even if they don’t have a romantic interest in you. Don’t mistake friendly chatter for flirting. Let the conversation flow, and don’t read too much into his actions unless he asks you outright on a real date.

5. Don’t sell yourself short ? This is the most useful among the dating tips for women that I am presenting here. Knowing your self worth will keep you from repeating all the dating mistakes that other women make. Know the true value of your attention and do not settle for men who don’t care about what you have to say. Some men are only about sex and it doesn’t matter much to them if the woman has a wonderful personality. These are the types you can easily and effectively avoid by increasing your self esteem.
