I have been doing online dating for 5 years and I know what works and what doesn’t.

Online dating vs. offline dating share similar characteristics and major differences:

Similarities:

1.    First impressions are based on looks
2.    Women are pursued, and men are the pursuers
3.    Humor can help build attraction
4.    The approach counts for 80% of future interaction
5.    It’s hard to maintain a relationship as they require a lot of work

Differences:

1.    The approach can be done in such a way that physical appearances play a much less important initial role
2.    History, interests, and characteristics can be studied before deciding to commit to interaction
3.    Women pursue men just as much as men pursue women
4.    Women are more open to interacting with you because of less peer pressure from friends and social norms don’t come into play
5.    Women on dating websites are there because they want to date! Women in bars and other settings are not necessarily there to date.

Finding love and interacting with the opposite sex is a difficult task.  Practice makes perfect, and most men don’t take the time it requires to master the social dynamic of interacting with women.  If you were devote every working hour to meeting, engaging, and closing women, instead of going to work and conducting business, you wouldn’t need help with dating.  Online dating can be the fast track method to meeting and picking up women you have been looking for.  However, there are differences from meeting women offline vs. online.  I know the five immediate steps you can take to start meeting and taking out women from online-dating websites.  Please fill out the form to the right if you are interested in learning more about how to successfully approach women online.

When it comes to comedy, sex matters.

According to a recent issue of Reader’s Digest, guys get a kick out of physical humor while women prefer verbal barbs. We knew that. The fun new info is that this is because we process our jollies in different ways.

In other words, our funny bones just aren’t located in the same spot. Reader’s Digest spoke to Regina Barreca, a professor of English literature and feminist theory at the University of Connecticut, who studies men and women and humor. She says the differences come down to three points:

• Women don’t like crude humor. “We don’t do eye-poking, head slamming humor. No woman has gone up to another woman and said, ‘Pull my finger.’”
• Women don’t tell jokes - they tell stories.
• Women don’t enjoy humor that makes fun of others’ physical shortcomings. By contrast, men make fun of just about everyone.

Some of these findings came from a recent study where men and women were shown the same cartoons, and the analytical portions of the women’s brains showed much more activity than the men’s brains.

Women over-thinking things while men take it at face value. The shocks just keep on coming!
