Internet Dating Safety Tips for Men
by Chloe
When you think about internet dating safety, you likely think of it in terms of what is safe for a woman; who she should talk to, what information she should give out, etc. Safety is just as important for men as it is for women. In fact, as 70% of the members of internet dating websites are men, it may be even more important for men than it is for women. They simply have to go about it a little differently.

by Amie
Your one photo is the key to your success in online dating. Sometimes, the only thing women will look at to make a decision about you is your picture.

The One I Met In The Mall (and he looked nothing like his pictures)
by Amie
Feeling somewhat self conscious, I usually disliked "searching around" for the face from the photo on that first date. Guys would tip me off that they would be wearing jeans ...as if that would make them stand out in a crowd. Come on! Fine dining here requires a jacket and your hottest pair of freshly pressed jeans. Besides, I trusted that my date will be the spitting image of his picture (or better) so it didn't matter what colour his shirt was or if he was carrying a collapsible umbrella.
