First dates and serial killers. An online dating tip every man needs to know.

I read a number of online dating profiles for men today on Plenty of Fish. There’s a section that let’s you throw ideas around for a first date. A lot of the dating profiles talked about meeting for coffee. However, a good number suggested activities like heading out on a scenic motorcycle ride or a hike on some nearby mountain. On one hand, I think it’s commendable for a guy to think of something other than the typical coffee interview. On the… read more

Today’s tip for writing your online dating profile. Dec.5, 2013.

I like to post the excerpt of a random dating profile and then critique it. I choose profiles that have fairly common mistakes to prevent you from making them too. I found today’s excerpt on okCupid. I’ve noticed that profiles on free sites tend to be less savvy than those on paid sites. Yet, free or not, you’re online and you’re goal is to be attractive. So, while a free site might not cost you, a bad profile can cost… read more

Online dating profiles: tips from Taylor Swift’s head.

A lot of people make fun of Taylor Swift. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey implied she was boy-hungry at the 2013 Golden Globes. Conversely, Chelsea Handler poked (so to speak) fun at her presumed virginity. Personally, if I were a 23-year old woman making $57 million a year, these meanies could screw themselves. That said, the other day I saw a video of Swift headbanging while wearing a lavender swing dress. I admit, it was mesmerizing, but I was still appalled.… read more

How Angie’s leg made it into in a dating blog.

I write ads. I write online dating profiles. I also write the only blog about men, women and marketing. The biggest news at this year’s Academy Awards was not that a black and white film won Best Picture for the first time in nearly 80 years. Nor was it that Octavia Spencer received a tear-inducing standing ovation, or that 82-year old Christopher Plummer was finally recognized.  None of those made the news quite in the same way that Angelina’s leg… read more

Online dating and a blog about blues, Obama and the Great Depression

I write ads. I write dating profiles. I also write the only dating blog about men, women and ads. Blues has been a theme of late. First, I’ve noticed people with a seasonal soupcon of February blues. Second, we’ve been serenaded by blues of presidential proportions thanks to Obama himself (can he be more dreamy, sigh). As such, this week’s dating blog is all about smiles turned upside down. Enjoy it, if you can. 10 Chick flicks that make men… read more

Online dating blog. Pants on fire edition.

I write ads. I write dating profiles. I then bring their related topics together in this one surprisingly cohesive blog. To do so, I read a lot of articles and then share the news. I’m like Dan Rather but in that “not quite Dan Rather’s idea of news” kind of way. It’s delicate. Basically this is the only blog about single men, single women and advertising. A recent article in Huffington Post reported that Rick Santorum (pictured here in a… read more

Booty calls, vampires and online dating.

The only dating blog about men, women and advertising. I’ve heard of leg men, breast men and men who love booty. I’ve heard of women who’ll swoon over 6-pack abs and rock solid buns. Now, though, I’ve think I’ve heard it all. Apparently, there’s a new way to evaluate a potential lover and it’s by looking at their cell. Some things go well together. Mystery books and rainy days. Politicians and sex scandals. Wine and 7 UP (don’t judge me!).… read more

Dating advice from a copywriter, a screenwriter and other unlikely sources.

Welcome to the only dating blog about men, women and marketing. As an ad writer and marketing expert who’s transferred her significant talents (my blog, my spin) to writing online dating profiles, I’m always collecting interesting relationship advice and ads. I know, I know… “ads”, right? How do profile writing and advertising end up in one dating blog? Advertising is all about relationships. Its job is to create relationships between consumers and products. The ad techniques that go into great advertising… read more

Online dating for sports lovers.

In case you notice that this is not my typical blogging style, it’s because it’s a paid-for blog. That said, it’s been written by a friend of mine who runs an honest business. In addition, I’ve personally checked out the sites mentioned. If you’re sport crazy, or even a gym fanatic then why not consider fitness dating? Singles who love sport can meet other sport-minded men and woman on sport dating sites. There are so many sport dating sites to… read more

A word about SOPA, undies and ads.

The only dating blog about men, women and marketing (of course!).     For now, there’s information to share. As such, today I’ll share both the advice to men and the advice to women that I’ve uncovered – specifically  underwear news (note how cleverly I used, “uncovered”). Given that my profile writing service (dating profiles, LinkedIn bios) is a resounding success thanks to my years in advertising (longest plug ever), I’ll also show examples of great ads.   Advice to men  … read more
