Some Sage Advice and Tips About Online Dating

• Online dating's a great source of education and entertainment when you want to learn about people and maybe meet someone, so keep it fun.
  
  
• If you're going to want to meet the person, do so after a few e-mails plus phone calls, before fantasies and nerves build up.
  
  
• Watch out for the money factor. The majority of sites are free to put up a profile and browse, but you usually have to pay to contact someone you see.
  
  
• "Girls that are looking for someone 18 to 40 are usually not real, and are a cover for escort services or pay sites," Rhodes said.
  
  
• "People may lie in their profiles, about their height, age, et cetera, and some "men misrepresent the amount of hair they have by posting pictures with hats or the tops of their heads cut off," Burns said.
  
  
• "You have to be prepared for (dishonesty) and remember to be civil," Rhodes advises.

A New Big Beautiful Women (BBW) / Big Handsome Man (BHM) Matchmaking Website Goes Live

Overweight and looking for a date? Fed up with the poor selection of online dating websites for the BBW/BHM crowd? Well, a new site for overweight singles has debuted @ www.trulyplumptious.com. The site is new so there are only a handful of postings, but it looks like it has some potential. I detected a glitch in the site's linking structure when I tried to view someone's profile, but that's no big deal really, as most new sites have similar issues.

The Positive Side of Internet Dating: Lots of Folks Actually DO Have Great Success with Online Dating!

In a previous post, I talked about the new ABC documentary about the dark side of online dating in New York City (you can still catch the "Hooking Up" program every Thursday night @ 9:00pm.) That's the side of online dating that we all have nightmares about. But there is a very positive side to Internet dating, with lots of couples finding true love in cyberspace. eHarmony.com claims that at least 12,000 people have "tied the knot" as a result of meeting via the eHarmony site, and Match.com claims that they receive 200 emails/letters each month from couples who have either gotten engaged or married as a result of hooking-up on the Match.com website. Quite encouraging, don't you think? Click here to read about George and Erika Eloff, a happily married couple who met on eHarmony.

ABC news is airing a new documentary about the scary side of Internet dating in New York City. The 5 part series will begin on Thursday, and is described as:
