Dating and Relationship tips advices & articles

So you decided to talk to the Scanner at the bar and found he’s a really nice guy. You two have been seeing each other for six months, a year, two years or however long. You one day decide that he is the one for you. You want to spend the rest of your life with him but aren’t sure how to broach the subject. After all, we all know men are afraid of commitment and the woman has to wait for him to pop the question otherwise you are going to scare him off, right? WRONG.

That is a myth and the truth is he decided he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you LONG before the thought or even the twinkle of the thought ever entered your mind. You two have been together how long? He’s committed to you. Don’t question that in the least. What he is afraid of, and I alluded to this in Part 2, is losing his identity.

Right now you both have your own apartments. Granted, you are probably spending most of your time at one place or the other but you both have your own space. That is what he is afraid of loosing. Think about this for a minute and you will understand. What happens when a couple gets married or they decide to live together? The woman will usually decorate the home. This is fine. Men tend to have a terrible decorating sense anyway. However, the home is decorated based on what the woman likes.

Say the guy has a favorite chair. It’s not ratty and torn or stained; it’s a nice chair but doesn’t go with the decor the woman has decided on. I know, the woman asked if the guy likes this or that or the other. (Ok think back to Part 1 of the series) He says that what ever she picks is fine. He wants her to be happy so he lets her decorate how she wants. He knows his Goth style won’t go with her country tastes and knows she will be miserable with the dark colors and pictures he has. So he lets her do her thing. His chair is relegated to the basement or another room in the house that no one goes in or it’s trashed all together. Anything he had out for decoration is stored away. He’s lost his identity.

A good friend once gave me a bit of advice. He said the key to a long and happy marriage is a garage. I had to have him explain it to me. His point was the garage is the man’s space. It’s where he can go to do his thing. He keeps it the way he wants, be it messy or clean. It’s his space, his identity. He’s still at home and readily available if his wife needs anything but he has a place to call his own. It can be a room, basement workshop, or anything that is large enough to do what he likes. In my friends case it was his garage. He liked to work on cars. It made a lot of sense.

Men need to keep their identity. Ladies think about how you would feel if he decided that the house was going to be Goth. Dark walls, dark pictures, all the Gothic decor you can think of. Would you loose your identity in that house? Of course the best thing would be to come to an agreement on the style. He may not like country and she might not like contemporary but somewhere in the middle there is something that is acceptable. If that agreement can’t be made the man will normally defer to the woman and let her do her thing within reason. Again, this is because he wants her to be happy. Let him have his own space though. He needs to have some place that is his. Some place he can get away to and do the things he likes to do. If not, then he may find other places to go that are away from the home or he will stay home and quickly develop animosity.

Now the topic of sex; Sex to an average man is far more than just the pleasure. To him it is the ultimate way to show how much you love and care about each other. I heard a mother tell her daughter once that even if she didn’t want to have sex, if he wanted it to give it to him. This to the average man is wrong. Sure we enjoy having sex to have sex. Most people do, but it is more often a way to show how much we love them.

However, there is a paradox. We like to have sex often. Long dry spells tend to get us edgy and make us wonder if you really care about us anymore. I would hazard a guess that when relationships end because the man cheated, it’s because he felt she didn’t care about or need him anymore. He needs to feel he is loved and is important. Reaching out and touching him is important. Snuggle with him, put your arms around him, lying in bed reach out and put your hand on him, run your fingers through his hair, just let him know he is important to you. Trust me, if you do that he will not stray and you will find the affection is returned.

Do little things for him. Greet him at the door in a sexy lace outfit, iron his shirts, make his favorite cookies or dinner, make him laugh. He’ll probably do the same. Well, he probably won’t wear your sexy lace outfit but he will do things for you in kind. They say you should treat others, as you would like to be treated. It’s very sound advice especially if you want a long, committed relationship.

It’s difficult for many of us to see how responsible non-monogamy can save a relationship; fears and misconceptions about this emotionally touchy subject can interfere with understanding how it can be beneficial. Although non-monogamy is not for everyone and is not always appropriate, below is a comparison of monogamy and responsible non-monogamy. Note: cheating, lying, unsafe sex, and promiscuity are not part of responsible non-monogamy. Complete and radical honesty with your partner is, and that seems to be what’s most threatening and challenging to many of us.

With the custom of monogamy, you own each other, sort of like how you own property. Your partner is yours and if they even look at someone else the wrong way anger and jealousy are common.

With responsible non-monogamy, a couple accepts that owning the rights to each other isn’t love, but possessiveness. What about the possibility of one of them falling in love with someone else and abandoning the other? This can happen in any relationship because you don’t need to sleep with someone to fall in love with them. Furthermore, it seems that when two people are destined to meet and fall in love they will, regardless of whether or not they are single or involved.

With the custom of a traditional commitment and monogamy, falling in love with someone means that fantasies (such as “together forever” and “you are mine for the rest of my life” and “grow old together”) become expectations, and when they aren’t met it results in disappointment, heartache, anger, and even divorce.

A responsibly non-monogamous couple tends to accept their relationship as it is rather than how they want it to be or how it’s “supposed to be.” They realize that if their relationship fades or their partner falls in love with someone else, that’s the way it was likely destined to be. If your relationship ends, wouldn’t you rather accept that there is a more appropriate match out there instead of pretending that your existing connection is “the one” forever?

With the custom of monogamy, when someone cheats it is kept secret. Because monogamy and honesty are often assumed in relationships, both the cheater and the person being cheated on are at risk for contracting STDs. According to statistics, over 50% of men and women in “committed” relationships cheat on their partners. Is assumed monogamy realistic or safe?

With responsible non-monogamy, because there are no sexual secrets, a couple is more likely to discuss and practice safe sex.

With the custom of monogamy, based on the above statistics, the illusion of monogamy is much more important to many people than honesty.

Responsibly non-monogamous couples, on the other hand, place more value on radical honesty because truthfulness brings them closer together. In light of this, responsible non-monogamy could potentially reduce the divorce rate and introduce a deeper level of honesty in relationships.

With the custom of monogamy, it’s common to blame an ex-partner and their affair for the reason why the relationship didn’t last. It’s interesting to note that the policy of strict monogamy is never blamed in these situations, yet many who cheat appear better suited for non-monogamy. Truth be told, some people (both men and women) feel like caged animals in long-term monogamous relationships.

With the custom of monogamy, the topic of exclusive intimacy often is not discussed, but is usually expected. Is this always realistic or even reasonable, especially when you know the person has strayed in previous relationships or sense he or she isn’t the kind of person who would be happy being sexually exclusive with one person for the rest of his or her life?

That brings us to related topics: Can we honestly expect sexual passion to last decades in all relationships? Also, what happens if one partner loses interest in sex or if one reveals, years later, that he or she really doesn’t like sex and wants to avoid it? Masturbation is not a good long-term substitute for sexual intimacy.

With the custom of monogamy, you are supposed to be attracted to your partner and only your partner. If you have desires for or fantasies about someone else, even if you don’t act on them, they are kept secret. This form of dishonesty can drive a wedge between couples.

With responsible non-monogamy, the couple acknowledges that we are all human and an attraction to someone else, especially during a long-term monogamous relationship, is natural.

A responsibly non-monogamous couple puts their commitment to each other and their relationship first so an attraction to someone else is less of a threat. It is natural to feel insecure or jealous if your partner is attracted to someone else, and it’s going to happen whether you’re monogamous or not, but when a couple is open and honest with each other about the subject it’s a lot less likely to cause a problem.

What about children, you ask? Some responsibly non- monogamous and progressive couples create a “commitment contract,” where financial arrangements and planning covering possible scenarios (together for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, etc.) are agreed upon prior to marriage and before children are conceived. A new concept? Hardly. Ancient Egyptians had 5 and 10 year marriage contracts. If mutually agreed upon, they would renew. Although it’s not easy to address the subject like you would a business matter, it’s much tougher to do so later in divorce court. If two people are unwilling to confront or unable to agree on these issues before marriage it’s a red flag for their longevity as a couple.

With the custom of monogamy, sex is love, and if your partner has sex with someone else, they’ve betrayed you emotionally and it must mean they don’t love you anymore.

Responsibly non-monogamous couples realize that while love can be expressed through sex, sex in itself with a secondary partner (if okay with all involved–including the primary partner) does not have to diminish the love already established with the primary partner, nor does it put the primary relationship at risk, if the primary connection is solid. Something real cannot be threatened. This idea is similar to having one best friend and many good friends; you don’t expect your best friend to fulfill everything for you that many friends do.

With the custom of monogamy, often it’s “No cheating or else!”

Responsibly non-monogamous couples realize that giving such an ultimatum is about as effective as telling your teenager never to drink alcohol. It’s more effective to discuss the issue and to have a “no punishment policy” for your kids if they call you for a ride to avoid driving drunk or to avoid riding with someone who is drinking and driving. Similarly, such a policy for responsible non-monogamy will encourage honesty and can strengthen the commitment.

Lastly and most importantly, if we cheat, even if no one finds out, negative karma is incurred and we set ourselves up for a similar situation to “happen to” us in the future. Whatever action we take will, in time, come back to us, so even though radical honesty in relationships may be difficult it is often the best policy. The eyes of truth are always watching us.

”CHANCE FOR LOVE” MEMBERS DATABASE REVIEW
“Chance of Love” database has about 540 women from Kazan and Nikolaev city. The size of women database is not impressive from first point of view but thousands women profiles doesn’t always mean quality.

If you retrieved women address or telephone number an it is incorrect, they prompt to give you a replacement address of another russian woman free of charge.

Hot Russian Women Profiles With Free E-mail Addresses

MEMBERS PROFILE QUALITY REVIEW
Ladies profiles are accurate and provide main information about woman (eyes color, height, interests, religion and so on). All profiles listed at “Chance of Love” web site have quality photo(-s) and it makes them more attractive. Every woman profile has English knowledge level from 0 to 5. It helps to understand what kind of English you might expect from this woman and how long it will take to get reply from her.

Generally women profiles are well looking but sometimes photos broke design. But in general all profiles are accurate, maybe a little more information about ladies goals and interests could be provided. So we give 7 of 10 here to “Chance of Love” dating service for ladies profiles quality.

”CHANCE FOR LOVE” DESIGN & USABILITY REVIEW
Site navigation is very easy and all links are logical and placed in visible site area. When browsing you see all needed buttons and forms to make action you wanted to do.

Site design is also accurate and well looking and doesn’t bother users. The main disadvantage is a small text size on the site. Your eyes might get tired after browsing ladies profiles and reading about them. And another one disadvantage we didn’t like when doing “Chance for Love” review is that women profiles opening in new window. But we could not say that this is a disadvantage because for some of you it could be useful.

We give 8 of 10 for design and usability for “Chance for Love” dating service.

FEATURES REVIEW
“Chance for Love” dating service doesn’t have modern features like online chat rooms, instant messenger, blogs or forum. But we doubt that these features would work here at this dating site and probably this is a reason why they don’t integrate these services to their site.

But “Chance for Love” has other more important and more requested features on their site. Beside of ordering russian woman email addresses you can buy phone conference talk, send gifts and flowers, publish your personal ad in catalog & newspapers, also “Chance for Love” can help you in organizing your trip to Russia.

This service gets 7 of 10 from us here because they have main features in which usually interested males seeking russian women addresses.

CHANCE FOR LOVE FREE ACCESS LEVEL REVIEW
Free member zone at “Chance for Love” is quite big and you have a lot of areas to visit without paying single cent. For example you can browse russian women profiles, read dating related news, study dating articles and newsletters archive. “Chance for Love” also has success stories section where you can review “Chance for Love” ex-users testimonials.

Free section is enough large but it has nothing common with direct communication with members. So we rate free members zone as 6 of 10 here.

Register to get russian women with email addresses

PAID MEMBER ZONE REVIEW LEVEL
„Chance for Love“ offers 3 types of membership: Trial, Silver and Gold Membership.

As a Trial membership owner you will be able to browse russian ladies profiles, send unlimited amount of first introduction letters and receive one reply. Without big money investment, almost for FREE, you will be able to find the woman who will be interested in you. After her positive reply you need to upgrade your membership status to continue your correspondence. Trial membership is not totally free - it costs $5. Sure not a big money but in fact you could not test this service absolutely for free. We hold this as a small disadvantage but we appreciate „Chance for Love“ care about their women personal information like phone numbers and mailing addreses.

Silver membership allows you unlimited monthly e-mail exchanging with 1 or 2 women and regular address and phone number of any two ladies. Cost of the „Silver“ membership is $45.

Golden membership is available for a period of 1 month also. As a Golden member you will be allowed to retrieve up to 5 addresses and phone numbers of any lady. Cost of the „Silver“ membership is $55.

Any russian women addresses you don’t use in a month roll over to the next if you instantly extend your membership with us.

As a bonus „Chance for Love“ dating service allows you to exchange with an unlimited amount of letters with any ladies with no extra charges. Also they provide translation services if you need them in your correspondence with russian lady.

Here is no recurring billing at „Chance for Love“ if don‘t check this box when registering. It‘s one of the biggest advantages we like when reviewing dating sites. It means that when your membership will expire, your credit card will not be charged again. If you want to extend your membership you must do it by paying a membership fee again.

What we really don‘t like after reviewing „Chance for Love“ paid members zone is limited amount of addresses you may request as a member. 2 or 5 women address for $45-55 is too small amount for these money. Let‘s calculate: for $50 you purchase ability to exchange emails (avg. market cost about $20 per month) + 2 addresses for left $25 or 5 adresses for $30 (purchasing Gold membership). So it means that you pay from $6 to $12.5 per russian woman address. In our opinion „Chance for Love“ could improve their payments plans by allowing members to buy more women addresses for the same price (up to 10 for Gold Members and 5 for Silver members) or allow members to buy standard subscription at $19.99 with ability just to correspond with russian women without buying their address.

So we give 7 out of 10 points for paid zone for „Chance for Love“ because their payments plans are not optimal as we think.

PRICE/QUALITY RATIO
Generally we do like the quality of provided service and seems that users are also happy with their success here. But as we previously said the cost of the service could more flexible because at these rates it a bit overvalued at our point of view.

So we give „Chance for Love“ 8 of 10 points for their price-quality ratio but it could even 9 of 10 if they would chance their pricing strategy.

CONCLUSION OF „CHANCE FOR LOVE“ SERVICE REVIEW
Respectable dating service where you can order russian women addresses and even obtain some addresses for free. Service has all needed features to make your online dating more effective. Women database consist mainly of women living in Kazan & Nikolaev cities, also women database is not large but there is no fake on non-interested women profiles like on some other russian dating sites. Main disadvantage is higher membership price but includes 2-5 women address.

If you want to combine online correspondence with russian women but thinking about possibility of women address buying – “Chance for Love” could be one of the best solution for your online dating adventure.

Myspace.com is an online social-networking service that lets people set up a profile where they can share photos, music and chare their interests with other people. The main you should know about My Space that’s not a dating service. It’s a social network with dating section inside which we will review here.

ABOUT MY SPACE MEMBERS DATABASE
Currently My Space is one of the largest online communities with over 50 millions members database. Members database is international but main part consist of USA/Canada members. The main plus here is a database size and versatility of members interests, but the biggest disadvantage is that size is not always a quality. There are still of lot of dead profiles and the overall amount of members interested in dating is a much lower than 50 millions. And one more disadvantage too much teens which are under 18 years of age.

We give 7 of 10 here for My Space.

ABOUT MY SPACE PROFILE QUALITY
Well honestly we don’t like. It’s more like old fashioned homepage with some basic profile information and photos which are not moderated by My Space staff. Photos often broke profile page design and the most annoying thing that My Space allow their members to change my space profile layouts. In result browsing process is very tiredness. Profiles layouts and colors changing as trees when you driving a car. Profile music which member set for its profile just kills your mind and ability to attract attention to profile information reading. Also photos usually are home made and their quality is very low. We give 5 of 10 here.

EASY TO USE AND NAVIGATION
We definitely can say that My Space is easy to use. All needed action are open to your eyes and you should not browse help section to understand how does it work. But honestly saying there are no difficult to use features on My Space.

My Space worth 9 of 10 here.

FREE ACCESS LEVEL
Site is totally free without any hidden costs. Sure there is some services like layout services for My Space providers but only you decide to pay or not to pay for that service.

We give 10 of 10 for totally free service.

MY SPACE PRICE/QUALITY
It’s difficult to compare because it’s free service but we didn’t like the quality here. Yes, it’s better that Plent Of Fish for example but it’s still on the the same level and just confirm theory that free service could not be a quality service.

So only 7 of 10 here because there is really some rooms for improvement.

FEATURES
Well features.. We review only dating section of My Space and speaking about it the only feature we found it’s layout change. But we think it’s more embarrassing than creative. So we give only 5 of 10 here.

CONCLUSION OF MY SPACE REVIEW
My Space is a large social network and if you looking for friends and chatting it’s a place where you can try your chances. But their strategy to give members full control of their profiles can really hurt them. Maybe it’s quite interesting to visit different templates when you’re young but if you’re older it is not so funny sometimes. Normal service for those who don’t want pay for dating service but the quality is still low.

WHAT WE DON’T LIKE IN “CITY OF BRIDES” DATING AGENCY
All information on one page. Sure this is good you have all in front of your eyes but we think this is unnecessary because customer is a bit overloaded with information provided on one page.

Advertising. Too much advertising on site, especially at the bottom of the site. It is not visible without scrolling but when looking at the bottom of the page it confuses.

Photos in new windows. When you click on the photo in bride photo album new photo will be opened in a new window. This is not comfortable at least for us.

CONCLUSION OF “CITY OF BRIDES” REVIEW

MEMBERS’ DATABASE AT BLACK PLANET
Members’ database in the March of 2006 conceded of 18 millions black singles living in United States of America interested in dating other black singles. In usual practice dating sites wrote overvalued members amount on the home page to make their sites more interested to potential customers. Black Planet active members database amount is about 3.000.000 and all others 17 millions are just some time ago registered users. But even three millions active black singles at one dating site is great choice for those who is interested in black singles dating.

When we did search to find black women with NY are in age 25-29 search engine at Black Planet showed as 2534 profiles. Good result for one state and small age range.

REAL BLACK SINGLES. NO SCAMMERS.
From the first look seem that mainly people who joined Black Planet are really interested in dating and don’t hesitate to show their photos. There are a lot of amateur photos of black both men and women. We did not find offensive photo with nude body pictures and this is the first sign of pre-moderation and good support work.

BLACK PLANET IS EASY TO NAVIGATE
Site is quite easy to navigate and browse. Design looks really great and professionally created. When you feel tired of dating black singles you may go to other section of site in one click. Black Planet is something like mix between standard dating site and social network where you can dating online, read news and articles, share your thoughts in forum and find a job.

1 month - $19.95 (renewal $19.95)

Renewal means that after subscribed period is over you’ll pay renewal charge every month.

Best payment plan in our opinion is 3 or 6 month period subscription. 1 month is too short period of time and if you are serious about dating Latin singles at Black Planet you’ll spend at least 2 month there and this will cost you minimum $39.90. It’s better to take 3 month for $34.95 if you plan to date on this site about 3-5 month. If you plan to use this site longer recommended plan for is $49.95 plus $9.95 for every next month.

CONCLUSION OF BLACK PLANET REVIEW
If you are want to dating black singles and you’re living in United States of America Black Planet network is right for you.

Main registration form is easy to fill out and quite professional done. We don’t that it will take more than 5 minutes to get access to MiGente services. The only restriction is that MiGente.com is not directed to children under the age of 13 – and that’s good. After registration you get access to MiGente services: community, jobs and Amor.

Second step should be completed in dating section of MiGente. Registration takes 4 quick steps where you should enter information about you and person want to dating. All forms are easy to fill and registration process is not boring like on other dating sites.

MEMBERS’ DATABASE AT MIGENTE
Members’ database in the March of 2006 conceded of 3.5 millions Latin singles interested in dating within US area. Sometimes dating sites wrote overvalued members amount to make their sites more interested to potential customers. In MiGente case in our opinion the true members database of real members is about 5000-7000 active site members and all others are just registered users.

Large Friends Navigation Review
LargeFriends.com has the same structure as MillionaireMatch. And sure it has some similar disadvantages. But for big beautiful singles this design and structure is more appropriate than for rich singles. Site design is a bit old-fashioned and needs some improvement.

Millionaire Match Navigation Review
Site navigation could be better. If site declare itself like dating site for rich singles its design and services should on the certain level. We were not really impressed when reviewing MillionaireMatch.com. Site design is old-fashioned and boring.

MillionaireMatch.com Review Summary
Millionaire Match is unique dating site where you can dating rich men or women. But unfortunately people who use this service can lie about their real status and rich men at Millionaire Matc could be ashman in real life. That’s the problem. You can’t be sure that you are talking and dating rich single when speaking by IM or e-mail. Anyway it is worth to try this dating service where you could really can dating someone with big annual income. But be careful when dating millionaire online.

Meetic dating site is a leader of european dating market. Every day about 2 millions singles from Europe visit this site. With over than 5 millions members database it really worth to be called a leader. Meetic has local sites in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Portugal and Asia.

Profile Setup Review
Profile registration process is quite simple and takes about 10-15 minutes. Profile setup consist of 6 steps: general info page (where you have to enter email and name), foto upload, personal info, appereance, lifestyle and person ad description (50-2000 characters). The process is simple in most fields you will have drop down menus with possible answers. The the thing we did not like it’s small text. But it is not a big disadvantage.

Site Navigation Review
Meetic is a large site but it does not have a lot of places to browse. There is nothing special excluding standart search feature, chat(for paid members) and photo zap. Meetic has a lot of fields inside with your profile stats and if you like analyze your popularity by number at Meetic you’ll get a chance to practice.

Site navigation is easy-to-understand but looks like site is not optimized for slow internet connections and computers. It has a lot of graphic elements. Also we have to say that interface design in our opionion is colourless. Text size is small and it is doing site navigation non-comfortable for your eyes.

Search form is very detailed. Using Meetic search form you have a lot of option to find your perfect date. Search results layout is normal but photo previews are small and some of them are not with good quality.

Meetic Photo Zap features allows you to view 70 members photos and choose those who you like. It looks like an album and it is proper to use if you like just browsing profiles and choose them without using search option. Remember that using search option at dating site you can miss your ideal date just by missing one year when choose age range or you can miss in eyes color…

One useful Meetic using is “I want to see” filter. You can use this filter to see personal ads from your area only and exclude all others.

The Meetshake is the meetic software that will enable you to find your soulmate. You can access it from the members’ home page (bottom left), via the top menu, or via “my search” in your profile. The meetshake generates the list of members who match your search criteria and, if you have a Pass (available only for paid subscribers), it also creates the list of members whose search criteria match your own profile.

Free Members Zone Review
Meetic as all dating service in our days allows free registration and standrart free member package: free members database browsing. As a regular member of Meetic you can work on your profile success rate by uploading photos and adding more information about yourself. All other important site features are only for paid subcribers. Women can use service for free

Paid Pembers Zone Review
Paid members receive main Meetic feature: ability to contact members using mailing system and online chat (usualy full of people). The full list of paid Meetic services:

- Email other members
- Chat to other singles online
- Search with Meetshake
- Surf the ad-free version of meetic
- Premium customer service

Membership Cost and Payment Procedure Review
Meetic offers 2 kinds paid subcriptions. You could pay monthly fee for being Meetic paid member and you will get unlimited access to all site features. Or you can buy “krediz bundle” - and you can benefit from all of meetic’s services at your own pace without taking out full subscription. Here is paid features price list in krediz*:

View profiles - 2 krediz
View photos - 5 krediz
Use the filters - 5 krediz
Read email messages - 50 krediz
Send email messages - 50 krediz
Chat to singles online - 50 krediz
*Krediz are valid for one month after the date of purchase

Here are the krediz cost:

4000 krediz -> USD 49.99
8000 krediz -> USD 75.99
12000 krediz -> USD 99.99

Monthly subscription prices:

1 month: $37.90/ month
3 month: $77.70 ($25.90/month)
12 month: $154.80 ($12.90/month )

First of all think twice before buying krediz in bulk. Try to imagine how fast they will be over. In example you’ll browse a site and view 25 profiles. Take calculator and calculate: view profiles 2*25 + view photos 5*25 + use filter 5=105 krediz only for profile browsing. If you will buy 4000 krediz for $49.99 25 profile browsing will cost you $1.31! Too much just for browsing even without e-mail reading.

We think that 3 month subcription is best payment option for Meetic service. You’ll get unlimited access and would not think about krediz limit. $77.70
