Video: What's Your Favorite Body Part

Ah, do I have to choose?  I love it all!  If I had to pick,  I guess I would say a nice, round butt is the most appealing.

I have very mixed feelings about posting this video.   Dating videos should really be off-limits.  EVERYBODY pretty much looks like an ass in a dating video - it's unavoidable.   Also, this video is pretty much everywhere on the internets.  However, I believe this is educational on two levels - first, as the woman who created this video is now very much aware, you should not post a video to a dating site that makes you come off as bat-shit insane.  The fact that she actually went ahead and posted it is only further evidence of her dementia.  Secondly, for the men - look at her; she's young and beautiful; if you had never seen this video, you would have signed up to go out in a New York minute.  And how long into the date would it have taken before you realized you were in deep, deep trouble?  All I'm saying is, be careful out there - try and read between the lines as much as possible.  Otherwise, you might end up on a date with this.

Article: The Pros and Cons of Online Dating

So you tried the bars and got a couple of whiskey-fueled makeout sessions. You tried being set up by mutual friends and got some new Facebook friends. You tried dating at work and are now updating your résumé. Time to try the internet. But first, consider this:
Pro: Dating’s fun! Or at least, it should be.
Con: Only it’s not. It’s fraught with uncertainty, crossed lines, sexual mishaps, unrealistic expectations, and broken dreams. Sowwy.
Pro: Online dating has been around long enough now that you can match your site up with what you’re shopping for. Marriage? Try eHarmony. Slightly serious hook-up? Try Match. Good times with a sprinkling of WTF? OK Cupid’s your poison. Looking to shut your mom up? I think JDate is that way. Black and wanna meet black people? You’re gonna want Black Planet. White and wanna meet black people? Afroromance is for you. Gold diggers, I haven’t forgotten about you — check out Wealthy Men. You’re welcome.
Con: You have to make a profile. Hope you’re naturally gifted at summing up your entire life in a few adjectives separated by commas, because that’s what we’re looking at here. Don’t make it too long or everyone will know you have nothing better to do than talk about your likes and dislikes on a Saturday night. Don’t make it too short or they won’t get to see the real you. You want to make it witty, because everyone loves a sense of humor, but not like you’re trying to be witty, because no one likes wink-nudge girl. And you want to be specific, because we’re looking for someone who really GETS you, you know? But not too specific because most people don’t love 18th-century colonial architecture AND Maya Angelou. I mean, people say they do, but not really.

Article: The Best Questions to Ask on a First Date

Link to article here.  OkTrends once again datamines their customers to come up with some interesting conclusions.  For example, if you'd like to know if someone is likely to have sex on the first date, the best indicator is their answer to the question "do you like the taste of beer."  Men and women who answer "yes" to this question are 60% more likely to have sex on the first date.
