Social Networking Or Online Dating?

I checked out an online dating site called Punk Match this week. Like a few other sites such as Club Emo, it was pretty shocking to find the site dominated by college-aged members. Younger people usually aren’t the majority at other dating sites but we have seen a huge rise in these types of alt dating sites. It turns out that younger people are using the internet in much different ways than the older generations.

Hot Dates Or Fitness Dates?

I admit, Fitness Dates has to be my new favorite online dating site. The site has come up with an ingenious way for attractive people to meet up and get together without coming off as sleazy. After all, most of us first get attracted to a person because of physical appearance (the other traits are then what makes or breaks this attraction). However, a dating site named “Hotties Hooking Up” would probably draw in a pretty sleazy demographic.

Is Interracial Online Dating… Racist?

A friend made an interesting comment about dating interracial. She said that it seemed pretty racist to only want to date members of another race. It means excluding a race of people- even if it is your own. While this comment makes perfect sense, my friend has never actually been to any of the online interracial dating sites to see what they are all about. What I love about these sites is that they are more than just mixing black and white or brown and yellow or whatever combination you can think of.

Emo And Punk Dating Sites: More Than Hookups

I used to think that emo and punks just met up at concerts and thrift stores. Now, the internet is changing the way we meet people and making connections, especially when it comes to younger people. I checked out Club Emo this weekend and was pretty shocked by one thing that stood out: almost all the members were about college age. This is not typical of most online dating sites- people usually wait until they are tired of picking up people in bars before they turn to cyber space!

Reasons For Hefty Women To Start Online Dating

Even though the world still seems dominated by skinny chicks, there is someone out there for everyone. I was checking out Black BBW Singles and it showed me just that. The women there are, obviously, are all plus sized black women who are looking for all sorts of dating from one night stands to LTRs. It can be really difficult for a big beautiful woman to find a date offline but the reason isn’t because men aren’t looking (just take BlackBBWSingles as an example!).

HELP! I Live In The Boondocks!

Finding a hot date can be really hard, no matter where you live. But if you are one of those people out in the boondocks, you probably feel like you have exhausted all your options years ago. Even though regional dating sites like Local Match have lots of members, you will still find yourself with much fewer options in your general radius. Does that mean you will be doomed to travel for love? Not necessarily. I recommend local dating sites for a few reasons.

Pluses And Minuses Of Local Dating

This week, my online dating browsing took me to MeetLocals.com. The name seems pretty straight forward enough. Obviously, everyone wants to find not only the perfect partner, compatibility, and hot sparks- they also want to find that person within a 45 mile radius! I happen to live in a large city so my member search came up with a lot of results (lucky me!). When I typed in a random small town though, my options were much more limited.

What Does Casual Gay Sex Mean Today?

I remember when gay men would meet up in parks or public restrooms for discreet casual sex. Now, dating sites like Hot Gay Sex Dates are completely changing this and making it even more easy for gay men all over the world to get laid. But how casual is dating online really? After all, you are putting all your personal information up in a profile and get to carefully pick which sexy guy seems most compatible with you.

Sex Dating Vs Romance Dating

A guy at the sex dating site XXXMatch.com told me his chances of getting laid through the site weren’t that much better than those romance dating sites. He went on to say that he was definitely meeting lots of hot hookups it was just that sex is never a guarantee. Basically, no matter what type of dating you are into (with the exception of religious dating), there is a good chance of getting laid on the first or second date. So what is the difference between sex dating sites and other dating sites online?

What Do Women Want From Sex Dating?

Let’s face it: it is much easier for women to get laid than men. That is why it used to surprise me when I saw how many sexy women there are at sex dating sites like Rudester.com, which is basically for online hookups. So why are these gorgeous young women signing up? Obviously, they want to get laid just like the majority of all members there. However, these women don’t just want any hookup- they want a hot hookup.
