Image via WikipediaOkay, so I meet this guy on Yahoo! Personals and he’s kind of cute. He’s a big guy, you know… which I tend to gravitate towards, because 1) I don’t like skinny guys. 2) I like guys who are at least my size or bigger, or somehow make me feel smaller.

Happy Easter to everyone who’s celebrating this holiday!
I wish I can dish out some tips on “Easter” dates but I’m afraid I don’t have any. Funny, I just remembered asking my mum a couple of days ago on whether people get married during the lenten season, more specifically on a Good Friday, Black Saturday or an Easter Sunday. All she told me was that it simply wasn’t done. Curious thought, wouldn’t you say? Perhaps someone can tell me more about this bit — answer my question, if you may.

When looking for love online, eight out of 10 people lie about their appearance by making themselves an inch or so taller or trimming a few pounds, according to a survey of Internet daters.
Over half of the men questioned, or 52.6 percent, made themselves taller while 39 percent of women claimed greater height.

When it came to age, 24.3 percent of the men were untruthful, compared with 13.1 percent of the women.

Has the internet created a platform whereby the expectations of singles are reaching far beyond obtainable?
Are people expecting to meet someone that looks like Brad Pitt or Jessica Simpson, has a bank account that could make Bill Gates anticipate losing his position on the list of the wealthiest, has the work ethics of Ward Cleaver and the parenting skills of Ozzy Nelson?
Are people expecting to find “the dream” lurking behind the next clicked profile that’s just been added to an online dating site?
Well, it’s not going to happen!
I’m not saying that people should “settle” exactly, but they shouldn’t anticipate anything …read more
