TangoWire is a network of more than 70 online dating communities. Each community targets “both general and specialized areas of interests.”  They make a big point of saying that they will never share or sell your private information and you will receive no spam.

It says that the membership is free and with membership you can send and receive email, create a profile, and “smile” at other members, put from the way it’s worded here, it sounds as if you do have to pay to become a “premium” member at some point. Why do they do the tricky wording? 

If you give U.S. Military Singles a try, let me know how it goes. And remember to avoid these  online dating mistakes – when you do reply, focus on personality-based comments, not looks. Research shows you are more likely to get a response that way. Good luck!

Online Dating For US Military Singles

Anna David, a relationship expert, who partnered with AXE for their recent Sensitive City Study, has advice for guys who, unlike Bay’s new beau, haven’t quite hit the man-stage yet.

*Approach – Trying to get the girl by following the old dating playbook is only a numbers game. Throwing out lines until you find someone who responds will only get you your last choice.  If you want to get the right girl, you need to really focus on her. 
 

*Attitude – If you take a girl to a party, don’t abandon her and expect her to fend for herself.  Introduce her around proudly.  Get her a drink.  But don’t feel like you have to babysit her, either.
 

*Action – Make small gestures to show her that you care — whether it’s sending a sweet text or grabbing a bag of cherries from the corner store because you know how much your girl likes them.

It’s really very simple, guys. Take some time to connect and soon your girl will be bragging about her new man, too.

How To Act Like A Man

The Wing Girl Method founder Marni Kinrys created her dating coaching company to help men improve their skills and find success in dating.  Men are always trying to help men find women, but it is so much more helpful to get dating advice from a woman!  I recently conducted an interview with Marni to find out more about The Wing Girl Method…

Q:  Tell me a little more about the services that The Wing Girl Method provides…

A:  The Wing Girl Method is the first and currently the only female run and operated company to be involved in the Seduction Community.  What we do is we offer men a blunt and honest female perspective on how to attract and keep women.  Essentially we strip men of their core beliefs about women and themselves, make tweaks and turn these men into more attractive versions of themselves. A lot of men have never learned to master their social skills with women and we find that by providing them with information and insight on what women want they are able to build confidence and finally attract the women they want.  These guys typically labelled as “the friend” or “just the nice guy” finally have options!

Q:  What is the most common mistake that men are making when they are trying to meet women?

A:  The most common mistake men make is forgetting about themselves as soon as an attractive, awesome woman comes along.  They throw their self respect and belief of self worth out the window.  Suddenly this women who they nothing about becomes more worthy then them and put up on a huge pedestal.  Men forget that women are just humans and not magical creatures whose wants and desires should be placed above their own.

Q:  Tell me a little about signs that women give to men that men are missing…

A:  Contributing to the conversation not just nodding her head and giving one word answers, body language turned towards a man, not covering up her body, hair flips, lip gloss application, eye contact…

One thing to look out for is a woman who is overly comfortable with you and is being overly touchy or grabbing you. Most likely she is simply enjoying you and not into you.

Q:  What is the best way for a guy to let a girl know that he is interested?

A:  By being present, listening to her and telling her he is interested. Go after what you want. Be proud of it but if rejection strikes be okay with it.  Smile and exit and then go find another wonderful girl who wants your attention!

Check out The Wing Girl Method website to get tons more tips, get in touch with Marni, attend a seminar, or sign up for a coaching experience.  If you have been struggling in the dating scene, maybe it’s time to get a little extra help from an expert…

Secret Dating Tips For Men From an Expert

*Promote Yourself. Sometimes it’s hard to highlight your strengths without feeling like you are bragging. If you find yourself in this situation ask a friend to help you write your profile. She won’t have the same trouble singing your praises. Building you up, that’s the kind of thing that good friends come by naturally.

*Eschew the generic descriptive words. Avoid words like “nice,” “fun,” or interests that are too simply described. For example, if you like sports, be specific. Tell about the latest Century biking event you took part in or the time you camped your way up the Pacific Coast.

*Cast a wide net.  Okay, I heard that one from Daisy, of Daisy in Love fame last night. (No I am not embarrassed that I watch that show. A girl needs an escape after all….). Avoid pointing out what you are not interested in. It makes you sound negative and high maintenance. It won’t take long to figure a guy isn’t for you, but if you start with that, you run the risk of turning off the kind of guy you might be interested in.

*Don’t be a blabbermouth. I’m not advocating dishonesty, but you don’t have to tell your life story right off the bat. Here’s where I disagree with Cosmo – they suggest it’s okay to tell a “white lie.” I say why bother? It will all come out in the end and you will end up looking like a liar or an idiot. Be honest, but don’t embrace “brutal honesty.”

*Chose your photo carefully. Men like to see at least one full-length photo. Photos of you relaxed and having fun are a plus. No photos with other men, not even if it’s a family member.

Good luck.

Five Online Dating Tips

Here’s what she had to say……

During the first date, don’t talk too much about your cat, or the fact that you live alone. You don’t want to sound like some kind of cat-lady weirdo.

Don’t talk too much about previous relationships, because that makes you sound like you are thinking too much about your old boyfriend/girlfriend.

Don’t say anything about your body in a bad way. Don’t say, “Oh I hate the way my butt is shaped.” It makes it seem like you don’t like yourself.

When you’ve been dating someone a long time, try not to yell too much.

On the first date, don’t ask right away for a kiss. Wait for a good time to kiss them.

To sum it up, don’t tell it all on the first date, present yourself with confidence, be polite, and don’t rush.

More Dating Advice From Sarah

I sat down to write tonight and my girl, Sarah, had some questions for me about what I write here, at Dating Dames. I told her that I write about relationship information or dating stuff, celebrity couples, how to be a more confident woman, how to get over a bad breakup, that kind of thing. 

She said, “I know some dating tips for guys.” What followed was some really common sense stuff that smart adults don’t always “get.”  I think she’s a pretty smart kid. 

Here is her advice:

*Never tell a woman that she is ugly. 

*Never tell a woman that she is old or she might kick you. 

*Never pick an action movie if you go to the movies, unless she likes action movies.

*Never say a girl punches or throws a ball like a girl. She IS a girl. Duh.

Basically treat the one you care about with respect.  Appreciate the differences between the two of you. Be courteous.  Or you may get kicked.

 Any additional advice, ladies?  Or guys – do you have anything to add?  I’m all ears/eyes.

Sarah’s Dating Advice For Guys

Another thing is that I am certain that there are more than five points in which you should consider before entertaining his advances but I’m only limiting my list into these points for now.

Disapprobation at home
It may not be the case for some individuals but here in my country, it’s widely practiced that the person you do choose to date or enter into a relationship with is or should be someone whom you’re family will approve of. It may be in terms of want of a connection or general character disposition, this person should possess traits that the family should approve of. Plainly, he should not just get along with your family but also should be the sort that your family will entrust you to without fear or resentment.

Clarity of his intentions
Cynical as it appears, one should really stop and think, ask the appropriate questions, to determine his true intentions. Is he courting you because you’re the one or just a maybe? Is his interest relative to convenience? Does he show signs of sound judgment? Is there a history of repetitive behaviour doesn’t sit well with you? More importantly, you shouldn’t find yourself in the position of trying to convince yourself that his intentions are in sync with your expectations.

Depth of his affection
As quite normal for most newly formed attractions, singling you out from the rest of the other female genders will have its certain appeal. You will hear words that will solidify your own belief in his affections toward you. Time can indeed tell — no matter how much of a cliché that may sound — if his feelings goes far beyond the physical. Are you willing to get involved, surrender your heart, at an undetermined depth of affection? Will you be able to survive the occurrence of a change of heart? Or are you ready to bare all, render yourself vulnerable, to a half-baked relationship?

Appeal of his profession
Hard to believe that I’m including this bit on the list but, yes, I am. With good reason. At face value, it may look superficial but I’d like to bring your attention to the fine print. For men, their professions form a great part of their life. Some even equate their person to their profession. And my main concern is if your built to be a partner to that. That’s what we, women, will be, right? Their partners in life. There some things in this life that will be difficult for us too understand and we can only be lucky if the man we end up with will take time to teach us what they do. Will his profession hold your interest long? Will you tolerate conversations and dates which will revolve around it? It’s true that if we find ourselves the subject of interest of a successful man of his profession, we’ll highly be flattered and attracted to him in some way. But to actually have that man become part of your life is a different thing. You have to consider your needs, too.

Subject of his eloquence
This is where the subject of I, You and Us will be talked about (pun intended). I reckon it’s quite important for you to notice how he speaks, with emphasis on the matter not just the manner. The latter is only important if you’re particular about it. The former will tell you just how much of yourself will be visible in the relationship and how much of himself. Will your thoughts truly matter? Will he pay attention to your accomplishments? Will he acknowledge your talents and just how much you add onto his life? Or will you forever be a groupie whom he expects undivided attention and adoration? And this is if he is indeed eloquent in the first place. A major part of your relationship will rely on effective communication, you see.

These are just my two cents. I just want to share these things in the hope that it will help other women in choosing the right partner. Like I said earlier, there may be more considerations that women should know about. Feel free to add your own thoughts on the matter.

How to Get the Man of Your Dreams

I’ll quote the scenario.

“I dated this cute girl. Everything started out well, but then she started talking and talking. It wasn’t so bad, but her voice was so loud! And that laugh! It put Fran Drescher to shame! I kept up a polite grin the whole time, then made up an excuse to go home right after dinner. You can’t imagine how relieved I was to finally drop that fake smile!

I was just wondering, could I have dealt with the situation better? How exactly do I deal with dates that are honestly… irritating!” — E.V.M.

(He didn’t want me to reveal his identity)

Do you see what I mean when I said that the situation being a dilemma? Gah.

A thought automatically popped into my head when I heard it — Don’t ask your date a question!

Er, seemed like a good idea, at first, but he quickly retorted, “but wouldn’t that open up pandora’s box even wider?! I won’t be able to control the conversation and she’ll keep talking and talking and TALKING!”

Sigh.

How do you deal with a date like that? Will you do what he did and just maintain a polite demeanour — silently praying to all the gods that the date would end sooner than later — then make up an excuse to go home?

Discuss.

What Would You Do: Dealing With A Loud Date

Women, I’ve observed, have the tendency to feel insecure when their men become less and less “actively involved” in the relationship. Personally, I do feel somewhat jealous of the things that take his attention away from me or the relationship.

The article clarified this occurence for me a bit and I’m quite relieved that there’s some sense to why men act the way they act at a certain period in the relationship.

“Usually, when a guy starts switching his attention away from the relationship to things like work or hobbies it is because he feels secure in his relationship. Most guys have the “if it’s not broken, then don’t fix it” attitude.” — 500secretsaboutmen.com

That should pacify us, women, don’t you agree? Now, instead of “worrying” about what’s wrong [we've already established that, sometimes, there's no problem at all] it’s more productive to just work on getting, at least, a considerable amount of his attention back.

Here are 10 suggestions:

1. First, you may want to spice up the relationship in the bedroom.
2. You may want to stop by the office just to say “Hi”.
3. Start dressing sexier.
4. You will also start wanting to be less available.
5. Another way to get his attention is teasing plainly.
6. Not only should you dress sexier, but also you should walk and talk with confidence.
7. Not only should you spice up the bedroom with a new routine, but you will also want to work on your foreplay.
8. Start doing things just for him.
9. What will really get his attention is if you backed off the whole baby or marriage conversation.
10. Bluntly, ask about the relationship.

Pretty straight forward, eh?

I’m curious, though. Do you guys think that these things will work? Or do they just provide an “easy fix”?

I suggest you head on over and read the post for a more extensive explanation on each point. I learned a thing or two by doing just that.
