Clever_Cat asked:
I’m a regular in the Singles and Dating section on here as well as the Marriage and Divorce section, and I am constantly apppalled at what I see. There are so many young girls on there that feel a man has every right to control them. What do you think our society is doing to perpetuate this? And does everyone else see it as a big a problem as I do?

Just wanted to know if you Ferras fans have any idea of knowing other singles from Ferras, asides from “Hollywood’s Not America″?
p.s. My question didn′t fall in the entertainment/music category, so I just had to put it under “travel & leisure”.

David Touri asked:
Whether you are gay, bisexual or bi-curious, finding that perfect date can be a daunting task, especially if you are stepping out for the first time. How should you dress? Where should you go? What should you say or not to say? One thing is for sure, remember to be yourself and be relaxed. Below are a series of gay dating tips aimed at helping you make that date a real success.
The top gay dating tips:
Location, location, location! Choosing a meeting place is extremely important. Agree to meet at a place that is neutral, not too far from your dwellings and be familiar with the area. You would want to also choose a place that is not too noisy or rowdy, more like a quiet bar where you can both communicate and be heard effectively.
Concentrate my dear! Dating can always be extremely tense and nerve racking, especially if you are the quiet or shy type. One point to remember is to listen carefully to what your date has to say, this will enable you to relate and connect more easily.
A little bit of give and take: Share the conversation, ask as many questions as you like, feel free to talk about yourself, but also be courteous and listen to what the other person has to say.
What was in the past is better left in the past: Do not dwell in the past and absolutely refrain from mentioning your past relationships and negative experiences. Remember, every first date is a new beginning and should be treated like one. So, feel confident and be optimistic, stick to the present and the future. Show your date that his time is now and that you have no left over baggage.
Radiate: Show your inner glow and be positive. There is nothing like a positive and optimistic person. It shows a good level of confidence, which is definitely attractive in many people’s eyes. Bury your negative thoughts and think positive.
To hump or not to hump? It has been proven time and time again that one night stands or “hi how are you, let’s have sex” encounters do not last the test of time or more than 24 hours for that matter. If that is what you are seeking, fine, but just play it SAFE, otherwise you may want to concentrate further on the conversation and leave sex for another time. This will show that you are genuinely interested in your date and wish to take matters further.
Easy come, easy go: There is no need to rush the situation. Take your time, give yourself and the other person time to breath and discover how you truly feel about each other. It is not advisable to become too serious too quickly at an early stage in the dating process. This might easily scare off the other person who may not feel ready for a relationship or commitment.
Honesty shall set you free: There is no point in beating around the bush. Be true to yourself and your feelings towards this person. If you feel you are not getting the attention you deserve, let yourself be heard. If your interest is not reciprocated, direct your attention on somebody that will appreciated it. Like wise, if you grow dissatisfied or lose interest in the person, let it be known.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T: One of the most important gay dating tips is to treat the other person with the same level of respect as you feel you deserve. There is no point in wasting time and playing games, return their phone calls and speak to them. If you are not interested, have the decency of letting the person know rather than taking them on a roller coaster ride of uncertainty.
Meeting someone new is never easy, let alone dating them. We hope these gay dating tips have given you a valuable insight into etiquettes involved with dating. We wish you the very best of luck and hope that you keep these gay dating tips in mind.

Brett Smith asked:
Silverchair’s Daniel Johns has done it. A young David Bowie perfected it. Adam Ant overdid it. The whole make-up thing, that is. Rock stars have always strutted and preened.
But peacocking – as it’s been dubbed by Mystery, the controversial host of the US reality TV show The Pick Up Artist – is spreading to the mere mortals in the male population.
Mystery, who has bright red lips tattooed on his neck, heavy black kohl, flouncy white shirts and old-style aviation goggles, explains his look as a way of seducing and ultimately, sleeping with the women he dates.
On his show, Mystery schools bookish, date-less blokes in the art of picking up – starting with dyeing their hair and dressing them in fur jackets and floppy Great Gatsby hats.
The Queer Eye for the Straight Guy team gave a light spit and polish – usually involving a bottle of moisturiser – to men who were looking either to impress on a first date or revive a flagging relationship. Mystery, on the other hand, is all about helping his protégés bed women on the first date.
‘It’s a mating jungle out there’ is his message, and the only way to win is to don plumage brighter and crazier than all the others.
But does it really work? Not surprisingly, peacocking has its fair share of critics,
“If you′re not congruent with your look, what you wear will signal insecurity and a need for attention/validation, which will make women avoid you like the plague,” says one male blogger on Seductionlair.com.
“Nothing’s worse than getting a girl and then having her wonder why you have so many articles of female clothing in your closet,” he adds.
Amy, a 24-year-old flight attendant, said that while a peacock might be the first man to catch her eye at a party – and she wouldn’t rule out sleeping with one – ultimately the idea of fighting over the bathroom mirror or her make-up bag didn’t turn her on.
Xanthe, a 29-year-old chef, said: “My first serious date wore black nail polish, eyeliner and a Mohawk. He was masculine in every other way, but it was the combination of his muscular body and deep sexy voice with those feminine touches that made him irresistible to me. Now when I date someone I do wonder if they’re the kind of guy I can picture myself walking down the aisle with. Or pushing a baby stroller without worrying about chipping their nail polish.”
So go for it guys. If you’re a rock star, a Peter Pan, or if you’re just after a casual date or a one-night stand, then feather up. But if it’s a lasting relationship you’re after, hold off on the eye shadow and leave the lip gloss to the girls.

KV Chaudhary asked:
The Internet is full of online dating services and joining one is not really that hard. The hard part is once you’ve joined actually getting dates. This can become difficult for men in particular so in this article we want to talk about online dating tips that they should know.
First of all, be prepared to do a little bit of waiting. Joining an online dating service does not guarantee that you will immediately get dates. Because of all the contacts that women receive t takes them a while to filter through all the inquiries. For this reason, you need to practice patience if you have not heard back from someone that you are interested in.
You should approach more than one woman and be proactive when doing it. The chances of you getting a response are less if you concentrate on one woman only.
Another thing to do is locate women you are interested in that have common interests of you. This does not mean eliminating everyone who is not exactly what you want. But it is a good idea to try to come up with interests that are similar to yours.
Is important that you create a unique profile. This starts with creating an interesting username. Then list things you have actually done and are interested in that a prospective woman might be attracted to. Your goal is to become memorable, because a woman can look at many different profiles and you want yours to stand out.
You will hear this over and over, but it’s extremely important that you are honest with what you put in your profile. It is not worth risking your reputation down the road to get a date quicker now. Lying is always a bad idea because of some things you will have to go back and correct eventually.
Plus, do you want to feel positive that what you’re reading about a woman in her profile is truthful? I would imagine that you do, therefore, it only makes sense that you return the favor and be honest on yours. Once you do start going out on dates, ou want to be able to relax and be yourself knowing that the person is going out with you because of what you truthfully said about yourself.
This is a few important online dating tips that all men should practice. You have to get in the game, but if you take the time to properly set yourself up at the first it benefit you in the long run.

Mr Online Dating asked:
Dating for single parents….If you are a single parent you will be able to relate to this informative and helpful article. You will also come away with some new ideas and possibilities regarding romance. Singles parents find themselves in situations which limit them from options that couples or singles without children enjoy.
If you have only just recently become single, you may be unsure where to start. We have conducted some research in order to assist mums and dads and get them on track.
At such a crucial new beginning for single parents, one of the most important support structures you will need to count on will be friends and family. You will know who you can and cant depend on. Your closest friends and family are there to let you know that there is immediate support, and that you are not alone at this difficult time. Be sure to ask for help.
In this day and age, the internet is also another avenue where single parents can turn to. Online dating sites and chat rooms are a non threatening way to meet new friends. Many online dating sites cater for specific groups and communities. The internet will soon show you there are many thousands of other single parents in the same situation as yourself, which will make you feel less isolated.
Meeting other people soon after becoming single may not suit everyone. Take time for yourself. The healing process with any loss can only progress with some time to yourself. If finding time for yourself seems easier said than done, utilize your friends and support network to even help with baby sitting from time to time. Small breaks give you time for self recovery. Think of it as re charging. This is crucial if you are to become accustomed to your new set of circumstances.
It is very important to have routine and structure for yourself and your children. Try not to let your children lounge around the house all day. Get them involved in the community. This is a great way for single parents to get amongst other people which can always open doors. Sports and team activities are a fabulous way to keep your children involved and happy. A happy child makes for a happy household. Depending on your Childs age, sport and recreation group outings and holidays for the children are usually available doing summer. check with your local council or school in locating a sport and recreation organization.
Once you have established some routine for the children, you will find time to create alittle routine for yourself. Reading is a very calming way to take some time out. Set your children some fun projects to complete. They may find enjoyment in craft and drawing activities. Or building a model or piecing together a puzzle is a good way to occupy them.
If you succeed in mastering a solid routine, you will be much closer to claiming part of your life back.
There will come a time in most single parents lives that will see them wanting to re enter the singles and dating scene. Setting up routine and structure as mentioned above, will allow the possibility of romance. Many singles these days are turning to internet dating. In fact over 2 million Australians visit online dating sites every month. With time starved single parents looking for love, you can be assured that there will be plenty of singles in the same boat as you. Join a chat room. You don’t even have to participate to start with, you can just sit on the side line until your ready to start chatting.

Bercle George asked:
People have taken to free online dating services like a duck takes to water…because it is effective…or, at least, it can be effective. Women are, in general, terrified of meeting a man that she has been chatting with on line. All they have heard about are the scary stuffs that can happen…and, I must say, they have a right to be extremely careful. That is not only wise but necessary. So what is a nice guy to do? You are not a pervert, a sexual predator, or a weirdo. You are just a nice guy looking for ‘the′ girl that may be right for you
Here are some dating tips for guys. I hope you find these tips helpful.
First, you must be patient. Do not press her fto give her personal information like her real name or where she lives. Keep your conversations as light and fun as you can until she feels comfortable talking with you online. Do not try to rush her into meeting in person. She will think you are desperate or a pervert– remember patience is virtue and it is important in adult online dating.
Secondly, be extremely honest about your physical appearance and job. A good relationship has never been, and will never be, developed on lies and deceit. Gradually, she will find out the truth anyway and there you are back at square one.
An image really is worth a thousand words. Post many pictures of yourself as you can. The ones that mirror your everyday activities and make them full body shots, not just head shots. If you were dating a girl in the real world she would not just see your head. This strategy makes your online dating realistic and women love it very much– realistic.
Once the discussion has been opened about meeting in person for the first time, suggest that you meet in a very public area, during daylight hours and that she bring a friend with her. After all, you have nothing to hide or keep. You have told her the truth about yourself and she has already seen a lot of pictures of you. The only thing unaccomplished is to make her feel safe meeting you.
Adult online dating can be very effective for you in finding a person that you can have an intimate relationship when you make it more honest and of course realistic. In fact, there are lots of success wedding stories through meeting people online. So, why not try free online dating services for yourself?

Scott Patterson asked:
After talking to a woman and getting to know her on the phone, it’s time to set up your first date. But what actions should you take on the first date which can ensure future dates.
By now, you’re probably wondering what you should say and where to take her. Perhaps, you might even entertain the thought of how to get her back to your place for a more intimate encounter.
In the next few paragraphs I’ll show you a few tips that′ll help you have an awesome first date.
Tip #1- Remove all expectations and worries
Probably the biggest problem which guys face on their first date is getting too worked up about being perfect. While it’s important to make a good impression, you shouldn’t put too much emphasis on say or doing the right thing.
An easy way to do this is to remove all expectations about any outcome. If it goes badly, then the only thing you’ve wasted is a little time and money. But if you have a great time, then you might find a great woman to take on future dates.
Tip #2- Limit your time
One big mistake that many guys make is to plan out this extravagant event for the first date. When you first meet a woman, you’re using the time to qualify her as someone who might want to date in the future. The best way to do this is to meet her for coffee or a drink. That way, you haven′t wasted too much of your resources on a woman who’s not worth dating.
Tip #3- Be in control and plan out the date
Women are attracted to guys who are in control of their lives and make decisions. If you take the initiative and plan out your event, then you’ll come across as more attractive. In addition, by telling her where you’re going, you will be able to go to a place of your choosing and limit your time like I described in tip #2.
Tip #4- Have fun and flirt
The secret to having a great date is to build rapport and attraction. When you’re out with her, this should be your first concern. If there is not attraction between the two of you, the date will go nowhere. So it’s important to have a little fun and flirt with her.
This basically means that you look for every opportunity to tease her and bring sexual innuendo into the conversation. One of the best pieces of advice I′ve heard is from David DeAngelo of ‘Double Your Dating’. He simply states you should treat all women your dating as a bratty little sister. If you can trip her up and tease her this way, you’ll come across as more attractive.
Tip #5- Know when to break the rules
The previous four rules aren’t set in stone. For instance, if the date is going well and you think you might end up sleeping with her that night, then you should forget about limiting your time. Just use these tips as you see fit and break them when they conflict with something that’s working for you.
If you pay attention to these five tips, you’ll end up having a lot more fun and excitement on your first dates. As a result, you’ll discover it’ll be a lot easier to build attraction and rapport with every women you date.
