Dating profiles and silent nights.

I once went on a blind date with a man who I was told would be perfect for me.  According to friends, he was handsome, intelligent and sociable. We even shared several interests from advertising to art. I met said handsome, intelligent, sociable and perfect man in a bar.

It’s called “See You at the Top” and it’s written by my hero, Zig Ziglar, who died last week at the age of 86. Zig was an author, a… read more

Online dating and the biggest mistake men make.

As an online dating profile writer, I’m privy to what men and women are looking for in a partner.  I’ve noticed that men, more often than women, tend to be the most unrealistic when it comes to selecting a match. As such, a lot of men feel that online dating is a bust. Truthfully, a lot of factors affect success when online dating – everything from who’s online when you are to the ratio of men and women in your… read more

“The” tip to writing your online dating profile.
