The Advantages of Comparison Engine Websites By Lior Coolman

Online dating websites offer singles a whole new world of flirting fun and dating delights, where the name of the game is choice. Yes, more than anything else, online dating offers choice. And not just access to a huge choice of singles, but also a wide range of online dating sites. There is nothing stopping you from signing up to more than one site. There’s so many sites out there, offering so much, why restrict yourself to just one.

However, because there are so many sites out there, it’s not always easy to figure out the advantage of one over another. Also, if you are not familiar with online dating sites, you might not be aware of all of the features that are on offer and may not have the time to figure it all out.

Well, with comparison engine sites, you don’t have to worry about figuring out all those things because they do the work for you. Comparison engine websites are researched and designed by online dating experts. Their aim is to make it easy for you to see in a flash the features and advantages of various online dating websites.

Take the comparison engine site, The 10 Best Dating Sites (http://www.top10bestdatingsites/) as an example. This site focuses on 10 online dating sites: Match.com (http://www.match.com/), Chemistry, eHarmony, Perfect Match, Love and Seek, Zoosk, Spark, Senior People Meet, Friend Finder and Single Parent Meet. An easy to read chart gives key information such as the type of user base, the search criteria, the key audience and the number of users.

By viewing this chart, you can see in an instant that Match.com is the biggest site and has the most diverse user base with more than 25 million members. You can also see that if you are looking for a committed relationship, then Chemistry is possibly the best site for you or if you are Christian, then Love and Seek would probably work better for you. The site also comes with a selection of articles on online dating that will most certainly answer all your online dating questions.

Another comparison engine site is Dateseeker (www.dateseeker.net/dating-sites.html). This site also uses a detailed chart to help you see in a glance all the features of various sites. This site focuses on Match.com, eHarmony, Perfect Match and Lava Life.

Firstly the sites rates (out of 5) the ease of use, popularity, profiles, features and date probability of each site. It also tells you which kind of relationship they site caters for, be it heterosexual, gay or lesbian, a long-term committed relationship or a fleeting affair. It tells you what part of the world the site serves, be it local or international. Finally, it gives you the gender, age, ethnic and income profile that the site targets. Easy viewing in a flash that helps you make that all important choice.

Introducing Bridget Midway, Author of Erotic Romance Novels

Follow her characters as they explore the world of sexual command and scorching sensual pleasures.

In Corporate Seduction, the hero, Winston Biggers, is vice president of Mergers and Acquisitions for Crystal Industries. He’s a man that wants more, more out of his job and more out of his relationship. At work, he’s looking to get promoted. In his personal life, he wants a woman who’s not so compliant…or so he thinks. Maybelline Davenport also wants to move up at work and wonders why her newly-acquired college degree hasn’t help launch her career status. She also wonders if the strong alpha males she reads about in her erotic romance novels actually exist in real life. While waiting for her big break at work, she takes her best friend’s advice and starts working at an exclusive BDSM club called The Oh Club. There she encounters an unexpected client.

In Corporate Desires, Edna “Madame Z” Zulma, who ran The Oh Club, has just been released from prison. Without a dime to her name, she moves back in with her mother, who still treats her as that unruly teenager she last knew her as being. While Edna struggles with her former identity and her new life, she finds a job working for a travel/vacation rental agency where she has even more problems. Her first problem is that her new boss was a former client of her at The Oh Club, and he wants her to resume her dominating duties. Her other problem is that the office manager, Burton McCutcheon, is someone she’s attracted to, but is afraid to start anything with him since they work together. Burton, however, is not only intrigued by Edna, he also has a desire to explore a new BDSM lifestyle and hopes Edna is willing to be his submissive.

And in Corporate Needs, Maybelline’s best friend, Princess Watkins, has a new job working as a Dominatrix for Maybelline this time at her new place, a BDSM bed-and-breakfast. Lately Princess feels like she’s going through the motions at work and thinks her life would be better off if she just lived a “vanilla” lifestyle. When a new Dom, Erik Hendrix, starts working there and threatens to take a higher ranking job, Princess realizes her passion for the Lifestyle and offers him some competition.

Surviving a Long Distance Relationship by Allison Schleck

There are many times in life where you are in a fantastic relationship, almost too good to be true, and then the distance divides you. Most couples are unable to bypass the trenches of long distance relationships because they are extremely difficult. However, if your heart is in the right place, then you and your partner can survive a long distance relationship. It takes patience and hard work to make this relationship bloom, but when it does, then spring will never break.

Long distance relationships are worth the heartbreak because when you return to see each other again, you have to realize that not just any couple can live months without seeing each other and still have an amazing connection. The most important rule to live by when in a long distance relationship is making the time to always communicate with your partner. You will have to use all of your resources to keep the love flowing along. Speak on the phone, through video chats, text messages, instant messenger and through good old snail mail. Writing letters to each other are a great physical reminder that your loved one is thinking of you and taking the time out to write to you.

You may not be able to be together physically but this does not mean that you cannot have a presence there with the person you love. Sending care packages are a great way to stay connected. Make sure you send gifts that are meaningful and that will give your loved one the feeling that you are right in their room when they open up the package. Sending something sweet will remind your partner how delectable you are, something silly will remind them of your great sense of humor, spraying your perfume or cologne will remind them of how they feel when you are in their arms and something romantic to remind them of how sensual you are.

Fighting is the easiest way to put distance between the two of you. The more you fight, the more damage you do to your relationship and sometimes you cannot not bridge that gap. There are a lot of feelings including anger and frustration so it takes a great deal of self restraint to remove yourself graciously from a situation that is doomed to end in a fight. Sometimes you cannot control the distance between you and your loved one. A month of fighting is less worse than three or four or even more. Try to see each other at least every two to three weeks. You can survive more months but your relationship will truly be put to the test.

When it is time to see each other again, it should be an emotional and romantic day full of happiness. Even with months of fighting, there will still be joy that this period of distance is over. It may take a couple of days or even weeks to truly get back into synch with your partner. The more time that you spend apart, the more time it will take to adjusting to life together and bringing that physical element back to life. You can survive the distance because it isn’t the distance that will break your love, it is the lack of effort put into your relationship, just like in any relationship, that will break your bond. There are plenty of long distance couples who are thousands of miles apart that have a stronger connection than couples that live close together and see each other on a daily basis.

Nigerian Dating Scams: Protect Your Heart and Wallet By Alexis Bonari

When we log on to a dating website, we all know there's a possibility that we're talking to a fraud. While most people on dating websites post legitimate pictures and biographies of themselves, others use trusting individuals for their own personal gain.

The Setup

Enter the Nigerian dating scam: most of us have probably received e-mails from accounts in foreign countries trying to convince us we've inherited millions of dollars. When the general public wised up to the bank fraud scam, many scammers from Nigeria and other countries switched their tactics.

The scammer will seek out a victim, male or female, and engage them in conversation. After only a few such conversations, the scammer will usually tell the target that they have fallen madly in love with them.

The Scam

For the next few days or weeks, the scammer will seek constant contact with their potential victim. As soon as they convince the victim that they are legitimately in love with them, the scammer will announce that they have encountered some sort of emergency in their native country. They will ask the "love of their life" to send money to help with the crises. Some more sophisticated scammers will even have a friend contact the victim posing as a doctor or government official.

The Consequences

Requests for money will continue until the person being scammed catches on that they're being taken. At that point, the scammer will simply disappear into cyberspace, never to be heard from again.

Every year, hundreds of people are losing thousands of dollars to scammers who play on their emotions. Don't become a statistic. Perhaps the best words of advice are, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is".

If You Want to Really Understand Men, You MUST Read This Book!

If you fit any of the four categories listed below, this book may just be the most useful book you can buy this year! It tells you exactly how to identify, find, and fascinate the man you want. It tells you how to get him to propose. Moreover, most importantly, it gives necessary information for keeping him in love with you and happy in marriage with you.

The book is called:

Alpha Male:
Who They Are, How They Think, What They Want,
How to Attract, Meet, Marry & Train One
By XX & XY

Who should read this book?

•Women who want to meet a great guy, marry him, and have a happy life with a good provider

•Women who have had bad experiences dating all the wrong guys, who want to know how to recognize these “bad news” guys and identify a great potential husband

•Women trapped in a relationship that appears to be going nowhere who need the tools to make a decision whether to continue, and if so, to get the marriage proposal they want

•Women already married to a man they love but don’t understand, who therefore drives them crazy, who want to learn the skills that will make their marriage happy again

Men who want to know what women really want (and what women know about them!) will want to read this book as well.

The female author, XX, was proposed to by an astounding number of men – an average of one per year – in the 22 years she dated prior to meeting her husband and co-author, XY. Yet she is only of average looks, average social status, and average financial opportunities. She did not set out to get “notches on the gun” when she dated men, but after she married, she realized, looking back, that there must have been something in her dating pattern that had triggered so many proposals.

XX realized, on analyzing it, that the patterns she adhered to nearly always led to marriage proposals. In addition, she realized that if it could happen to her, it could happen to any other woman. When other women used the rules in this book, their results were usually identical to hers.

Further, XX realized that there is a certain type of man who makes a terrific husband. Her own marriage to an Alpha Male was incredibly happy. Her co-author XY was a career Army officer for nearly 30 years, and subsequently Chief of Detectives for a large East Coast city. In both jobs, he commanded many young men. Their very lives depended on his knowing everything about them, what they wanted, and how to motivate them under extreme conditions. His knowledge brings the invaluable male perspective to this book.

The authors also interviewed hundreds of Alpha Males as well. What you will read here is solid strategies and tactics that actually work.

This new book can save marriages, create new marriages likely to be happy based on principles in this book, and teach a whole generation of readers how to identify, trap (yes, manipulation definitely comes into it!) and train the husband of their dreams – and then have a great marriage for a lifetime.

The book is light, fun, and readable. Yet the information is heavily field-tested, and it really does work.

The 222-page paperback is published by Perennial Press and is priced at $24.95. The book can be purchased on Amazon.com. To order, search for Alpha Male Who They Are by XX and XY or visit their websites at
