2 Successful Career Women Write Book About How They Found Their Husbands Through Online Dating

Karin Anderson and Beth Roberts are 2 successful career women who were able to find husbands through online dating. Anderson and Roberts have collaborated to write a book about how they were able to achieve success in the world of online dating. Details about the book can be found below in the snippet from today's press release:

"'FINDING YOUR MATE ONLINE: NO FEAR, NO EMBARRASSMENT, JUST LOVE!' is a new book written by two successful career women who found their husbands online.

When they were in their late 30's, authors Karin Anderson and Beth Roberts decided, 'I'm tired of dating. I want to meet my mate and create a future together... now!' They studied the world of online dating, and actively researched the most effective way to meet the men of their dreams. Their success resulted in this step-by-step, how-to guide for achieving success in the complex world of online dating, whether you are new to online dating or have tried it for years.

Make no mistake, unlike other online dating books, FINDING YOUR MATE ONLINE is not about dating; it's about finding your mate. Designed for the more visual sex, this book is a picture-oriented how-to guide, with images on every page to illustrate what you're learning. To accommodate women in all stages of online dating, the book is divided into three sections:

a) BEGINNER -- 'Getting Online & Posting Your Ad,'

b) INTERMEDIATE -- 'Screening Your Replies and Having Fun Dating,' and

c) ADVANCED -- 'Finding & Marrying Your Mate.'


Author Karin Anderson, a successful Hollywood script coordinator, credits meeting the man of her dreams to the list she created describing what she wanted in a mate. This quirky list included a desire to meet a man who grew up with sisters (John has two) and a man who loves to read (John visits bookstores around the world for his job as a music tour manager). Karin's wish list developed into the ABOUT HIM list that she encourages all readers to fill out to meet the mate of their dreams.

Author Beth Roberts, an executive vice president at NBC Universal was, like many women, mortified at the thought of posting an ad, and spent years as an online dating voyeur. Having analyzed hundreds of ads by the time she posted her own at age 40, Beth created an honest and revealing statement about herself, and the idea for the list, ABOUT THE ADS, was born. Beth met with 5 men, all of them classic 'great guys.' The fifth man, Warren, is now her husband."

Some US States Are Considering Laws Related To Online Dating Website and Background Checks

Remember the story about Dr. Robert Wells being sued by True.com for concealing his sex offending past? Well, now some US states are considering laws that could help protect the online dating world from predators like Wells. The new laws would require online dating websites to either conduct background checks on all members, or inform website visitors and members that no background checks are performed.

The news laws, if enacted, would surely mean less profits for the owners of online dating sites in the short term, but in the long term the increased security might translate to increased membership rolls.

Results of An OasisOfLove.com Online Dating Survey

The online dating website OasisOfLove.com has released the results of a fascinating and informative survey related to online dating. Below you'll find a snippet from a recent press release:

"www.oasisoflove.com is taking the initiative of surveying actual users to find out what they really think, and hence take necessary action for improved experience.

In a recent survey, 200 female users ages 18 to 57 were asked the same question:

'There are hundreds of thousands of men out there looking, yet women claim they can't find a man. Would you say online dating is working for you?'

The following are some of their responses, straight from the horse's mouth:

1. 'many women use dating services as a chatting network. A lot of people are too scared to actually meet people off the internet...'

2. 'women can't find men because most men near my age are looking for a young 20-30 year old hard body barbie!'

3.'Women claim they can't find a man among those many many men because women have standards that maybe those men don't fit into'

4. 'there is alot of pressure out there to 'Hook Up' right away, and that's not what i am looking for.'

5. 'I delete the smokers pretty quickly ( how can he care about me if he doesn't care about himself enough to not pollute his body and others around him? ).'

6. 'I'm very hesitant meeting people off the internet because of rape and murder'

7. 'I know several people that have met and gotten married. So, it's possible. It's just one way to try to find someone. I haven't had any luck, but it's still better quality than I've found in the clubs.'

8. 'I have more trust in people in person than on the internet. I don't even know if I'm talking to who they say they are...'

These are pretty profound responses. The message is loud and clear, most women dating online are happy to chat, but highly sceptical when it comes to meeting in person. The problem can be summarized in one word - fear. Women are afraid to meet in person.

But what is the source of this paralysing fear women have? The answer is simple - the media gives heavy coverage to online relationships that end badly, while almost zero attention is paid to the successful ones. So in a woman's mind, online dating must be bad if all she keeps hearing about it are the bad stories.

Here are suggestions to men:

1. Stop with the lies and embellished personal worth. If you build an online relationship on deceit, eventually she'd find out the real you, and you'd be back to square one.

2. A picture is worth a thousand words. Have dozens of pictures of yourself taken in different places. Show your full body, not just head shots. Food for thought, if you're dating someone in real life, does she just get to see your head region or your whole body?

3. Cool your heels. Do not rush into wanting to meet. That scares women to death. It raises a red flag that you may be desperate, or worse, a predator. Instead, try to pursue true friendship first for a long while. She needs to gain your trust first and foremost.

4. When the discussion about meeting has begun, ask her to come with a friend if she so chooses. Suggest a meeting in daylight, and in a very public place. This gives her more confidence about her safety.

5. Beware of time-wasters. You are barking up the wrong tree if you're not diligent enough to separate the serious women from those merely online to chat and tease. The chatters are mostly time-wasters who use their time on a dating site as a pastime activity.

The bottomline is, if online dating is to progress beyond just a medium of message exchange, to actually meeting in person, men must control their urge to meet after just a brief online acquaintance. A woman's confidence in a man hinges on trust, without which dating online is a mere waste of time."

New Online Dating Website for Shy Singles (and It's Free!)

Are you shy?

Have you ever met someone who seemed like a perfect match for you, but then your shyness prevented you from making contact? Do you have mild shyness, moderate shyness, extreme shyness, situational shyness, Asperger's Syndrome, Social Anxiety Disorder, or Social Phobia?

Well, a new online dating website might just be the perfect fix for your shyness woes. The site is ShyPassions.com and it's a "100% free dating site." Here's a snippet from a press release issued today:

"Meeting new people can be difficult, especially when you are shy. While extroverts may lock eyes, smile, and walk over to introduce themselves when they are interested, introverts will often do the exact opposite. Rather than locking eyes, shy people can find themselves looking down or looking away, even though they may be interested. Shyness can look coy and cute from the outside, but it can sometimes be terribly difficult for the person dealing with it.

Online dating has grown substantially over the last 5+ years, and more and more people are embracing it as a means to meet new people for friendship and of course, romance. For people dealing with shyness however, online dating can still cause some anxiety. Sending an email to a stranger, and risking rejection, may be easier than walking up and saying hello, but it can still be difficult for many people.

Shy Passions is a new online dating site designed specifically for shy singles, regardless of their level of shyness: mild shyness, moderate shyness, extreme shyness, situational shyness, Asperger's Syndrome, Social Anxiety Disorder, or Social Phobia.

The idea behind the site is that it should be easier to take that first step, and say hello to someone, if you know that everyone on the site considers themselves to be at least a little shy too. Sending an email to someone isn't quite as scary when everyone is in the same boat.

Members are encouraged to define their shyness within the 'groups' section, so that other members have a sense of who they are chatting/emailing with. The 'groups' section was added as a way for people to find others who might be dealing with some of the same 'shyness' issues. After all, someone who is mildly shy may not understand what someone dealing with panic attacks and / or social phobia is going through.

Whether someone is looking for new friends, or something more, Shy Passions is designed to help shy singles take that first step."
