single women 4 U! explores and reviews online singles web sites, dating web site, matchmaking services and personal ad web sites and what services they have to offer. We also look at the very serious issue of online singles safety and offer some tips on how to write an exciting, enticing and compelling online profile.
In today's busy and hectic lifestyles finding the time to do all the things we have to do is hard enough, but finding the time to do the things we enjoy and meet new people out side of your career or home is even more difficult, especially for those singles with children and/or very full-time professional careers. We all need someone in our lives at sometime, no matter how independent we may think we are, and singles web sites offer the convenience, safety and opportunity of seeking new people to meet, chat and click with from the comfort of your own home and at times that suits you, 24/7.
There is no doubting single life has its advantages, but in the same token having someone in your life to share your good times, someone to chat with over coffee, someone to celebrate your achievements, someone to offer unparalleled support and understanding during difficult times just doesn't compare to a lonely Saturday night at home cuddling a DVD cover and talking to your diminishing glass of Red.
The single women 4 U! information sections are written in plain, no-hype english, and are drawn from my own personal experiences and adventures as a single member of many of the singles web sites we have reviewed...
...and yes, I met the love of my life, my soulmate, my best friend on a singles site over 4 years ago, and our relationship is still growing in leaps and bounds as each love filled day passes by! :)
Why are online dating web sites
and Internet personal ads so popular?
Convenience and anonymity has to be the biggest advantages of singles web sites. If you have a computer and internet access you are well on your way to find Mr or Ms right. All the singles web sites we have reviewed have secure systems in place to ensure your privacy and to keep your anonymity until you are ready to take the next step. (Online Dating Safety)
Variety is the spice of online single life.
The variety of people that can be found on singles web sites is another great advantage. With the ever growing popularity and accessibility of singles sites YOU HAVE THE CHOICE of millions of singles from all walks of life, with all manner of interests that can be found locally, nationally and Internationally! No longer do you have the chilling choice of the 2 or 3 drooling drunks belching at the bar of your local club or pub, now the world is your oyster and you have the pick the most lustrous pearls!
How do I find my prize catch amongst the millions of salty sardines?
With millions of single people listed with online singles and personal ad web sites around the world, the advanced search technologies available on the singles web sites makes finding or browsing single profiles quick and easy. The singles site search engines allow you to specify the kind of person you are looking for and returns a result based on your search criteria. The search can be as basic as 'a breathing man anywhere in the world' to complex searches that allows you to specify a particular gender, age group, location, music and movie preferences, hobbies and interests, starsign, and even down to a persons favourite food!
What is a singles profile?
A singles profile or "profile" is a web page that contains basic information about a person, their hobbies and interests, what they are looking for in person and can include photo's. Photos can be visible or can be hidden (password protected) allowing the profile owner the option of only allowing certain people they approve to view the profile photo. Singles profiles are created via singles web site forms that are simple and easy to complete and can include as much or as little information as the person wants to publish in their profile.
Single profiles listed on dating and personal ad web sites allow you to find out a lot of general information about the person prior to contacting them via email or instant messaging. This general profile information goes a long way in helping you determine if the person has anything in common with you and if they possess any of the characteristics and qualities you are looking for in a person. Reading how and what a person includes in their profile provides a summary of the kind of person they are and the writing style gives an insight into the persons personality.
Photo's can be included in the single profiles to provide a basic idea of what the person looks like. Remember, looks are important but looks aren't everything, a person may look really attractive but if you have nothing in common with them you will find the email and instant messaging conversations very hard work. Meeting and getting to know new people should be fun, easy and flowing for both of you, so rather than waste your time on a "handbag" partner you would be far better spending your precious time looking for someone else, someone you feel you have a lot more in common with, unless of course you are simply looking for a very short term and meaningless relationship!
