Internet dating is truly an amazing phenomenon. At the present time, Internet dating sites in the U.S. are getting over 60 millionunique visitors a month. There are now many hundreds of dating sites on the Web. Why such tremendous growth in this business? Simply because it’s an easy, efficient way to meet members of the opposite sex. Anyway, it certainly has to beat the old-style singles services, bar scenes, etc.

However, before you get too involved in Internet dating - a world of its own - take ten minutes to read this article. I have a few suggestions for you that may save you a lot of frustration. I also have some important warnings to keep you out of trouble.

There are now two major types of online dating sites, the so-called megasites, like AmericanSingles.com, Match.com, and eHarmony.com, and then there are the specialized sites.

These megasites cater to everyone, young and old, nationwide, and have many thousands of members. On the other hand, the specialized sites focus on narrower niche markets - like thirty-plus singles, Jewish singles, Christian singles, black singles, senior singles, etc. It’s really just a matter of preference whether to join the huge megasites or a small niche site, or both. One thing they all have in common is that they will charge you a membership fee - soon after your “free” sign-up.

You probably know how these sites all work. To get started, you complete a profile (some call it an “essay” but please don’t write an essay) about yourself and your interests, etc., and then you upload your absurdly-flattering photo of yourself. Then you wait for some fish to bite the hook, or else you can play the role of the fish yourself and send emails to members you pick who you think look and sound interesting.

The sites almost invariably let you “search” for members who meet your specifications regarding age, education, location, religion, and other factors.

Women rule in online dating. Reportedly, women who send out emails to men get upwards of 96% responses. Men who email women get only about 20% responses. However, it’s important to realize that cyberspace can be much more dangerous territory for women than for men. First, men tend to lie more than women, particularly about their marital status. A man may completely misrepresent himself on a dating site, even to the point of uploading a picture of somebody else. Women rarely do that sort of thing. (Women do, however, tend to post pictures of their younger thinner selves, which is much more forgivable.) A man may oftentimes describe himself simply in terms he thinks women want to hear - lying about his education, profession, age, the works, even about the fact he has three kids who are teenagers.

Why do men do this when, very likely, the truth will sooner or later be found out? The answer is, many men who use dating sites are not necessarily looking for long-term relationships.

But the worst danger to a woman is to get involved with a man who’s violent or unbalanced, and yes, there are some of those out there, too. Thus, ladies, it’s extremely important to avoid giving men you correspond with through dating sites any information which will enable them to identify you until you are sure who you’re dealing with. Though you may not be aware of it, you can now be identified via the Internet very quickly by someone who knows very little about you - maybe as little as your first and last names. And you can certainly be identified by your telephone number.

Conversely, it is very important that you insist that the man does identify himself. He should not resist giving you his full name and address. If he does resist, something is probably wrong - like he’s already married. Once you have his name and address you can run a quick online background check on him for only about $50, using a service like Intelius. This will include a criminal records search and also give you some idea of his economic status because it will tell you if he owns a house and if so what its value is.

Unfortunately, it probably won’t tell you if he’s married or divorced, or if it does, its geographic coverage will be limited to only be a few states, like Florida and Texas, that make this type of information easily available through databases.

However, if you haven’t done so already, you can download our free ebook, Marriage & Divorce Records, USA (MarriageDivorceUSA.com). This ebook provides URL’s and government phone numbers for nearly all counties and states in the USA. Using it, you can check his marital status out reasonably thoroughly (though never with 100% certainty, since someone can get married or divorced anywhere).

Assuming you meet someone on the Internet you find interesting, you’ll probably agree to a date. Always make it in a public place where there are other people around. A cocktail lounge is good, or a restaurant. (Not a bagel shop early in the morning, please. I often sit next to online daters at 8:30 A.M. in the bagel shop I go to, and I hate it. Pick somewhere there’s reasonable privacy.)

I used to wonder why dating sites almost never offer their members background checks. So I called up a couple and asked. They both said the same thing, because they’re afraid it would “alarm” their members. They’re afraid of giving the impression that there’s something to fear from online dating. Of course, from a woman’s standpoint especially, there really is something to fear. What if the person you’re agreeing to meet and possibly enter into a relationship with is a convicted felon? So, again, I recommend you seriously consider doing an online background check before the first date. (Our first report in our Web Search Guides series covers the topic of online background checks in detail.)

Internet Dating Tips

- Men need to be very cautious in emailing women on dating sites. Why? The reason is that they may inadvertently enter into a conversation with a minor, even to the point of arranging a date, and this can result in very serious consequences you don’t even want to think about.

- From a woman’s standpoint, the big question is, Is he telling me the truth? Especially regarding his marital status. Here are a few indications he’s married: he fails to provide a photo (so his wife or one of her friends won’t spot it online); he won’t provide a home address or phone number, or only his cell number; he is never available on weekends or Saturday night, only during the business day. But although a man you’re exchanging emails with should not hesitate to provide some personal information to you, you should never give out your full name, address or phone number until you’re certain he’s on the level.

- Most Web dating sites allow you to block emails from people you find obnoxious. Visit haltabuse.org for assistance in dealing with someone who harrasses you. If you’ve got a really serious situation, try cyberlawenforcement.org.

- You should recognize that it’s easy to lift somebody’s photo from a dating site. So the photo you submit could conceivably turn up anywhere. It’s pretty unlikely anyone will lift it; but even so, it’s not impossible.

- Almost 85% of women embellish the photos they use online, so, men, don’t be too amazed if she doesn’t look like you expect. Be decent.

- Seven out of ten Internet dating participants are men. Unfortunately, a large percentage of these are married and are just looking for affairs or maybe cybersex. On the other hand a significant proportion of the women online are not looking for relationships, either. They’re running online scams, trying to extract money from lonely men. For both men and women an excellent rule for online dating is: Never send money to anybody unless you’re buying something.

- Most of the major online dating sites allow you to easily check out someone’s search activity by viewing their profile. You can also check to see exactly who has looked at your profile.

Experts agree on the following guidelines when you’re doing Internet dating: (1) Be very cautious about people who start telling you their problems right away; (2) Watch out for minors who are posing as adults; (3) Never give out information about your personal finances - like how much money you make, whether you own a home, etc.; (4) Never give your home address/phone number out right away and don’t have the other person meet you for a first date at your home; (5) Don’t send anyone money: (6) Don’t take rejections personally - just move on. And if you need to reject someone yourself, do it tactfully (”I’ve decided to get back with my boyfriend,” etc.); (7) Try to find out all you can about someone before agreeing to a first date; the Internet can help.

Poker is a part of online gambling. There are a lot of online casinos that cater to the needs of the poker players. This is no different from physically visiting the casinos. The US government has imposed a ban on online casinos from collecting deposits.

The reason for this, is that the money made is not taxable. In spite of this ban, online poker has become quite popular. They also have attractive sign up offers and other promotional bonuses.

You can also earn poker bonus codes when you make your first deposit. These are most often referred to as poker deposit codes. After your first deposit, you can also earn bonuses for all other future deposits.

This amount can be used to gamble online. If you win the game, the money is yours. However, there are sites where you have to deposit money to get full use of their bonus codes. In such cases you can use a prepaid Visa card.

A prepaid Visa card is available in most local department stores. They come in denominations of $25, $50 and $100. These cards are like credit cards and have to be activated before you use them.

However, these prepaid Visa cards are not re-loadable like general credit cards. The department stores will activate the card for you once it is paid for. You can use it immediately. Once you spend the money on the card, it can be disposed of.

You can use either real money or play money, to play a game of poker online. However, if you are playing with play money, you will never be able to cash it out. Deposit codes or bonus codes are signup incentives that are offered to players.

The online poker rooms will usually offer a code to the players as a bonus. They can use it when playing for real money through the website. You can use the sign up codes with your first deposit although it is contingent upon the deposit amount.

There are also reload bonus codes availabloe from some sites which can give you extra cash on future deposits. These codes are usually offered by different poker rooms in different amounts.

Apart from this, there are also different types of poker bonus codes out there. This varies from intial deposits, freerolls, and player rewards points. The deposit bonus is actually a bonus that is offered when you make your first deposit with the site.

The software used for online Poker is safe and secure. The site maintains the confidentiality of the players. They are very regular in their payouts.

Terry Gibbs in his SaleHoo Sucks website has stated that SaleHoo is a scam. He says this with no suitable evidence. And he does this to quite obviously profiteer from people who are searching for reviews of SaleHoo as he advertises his own website immediately after his review.

Through the use of a large banner advertisement on his salehoo sucks review site, Terry is actually promoting his own product through writing a defamatory and biased review of his competitor salehoo.

The comments function on terry’s forum on his salehoo sucks site are not functional and have never been functional (at least not for a large number of months). This is further evidence that the so called forum on terry’s site is probably a fake.

Terry’s claim is that SaleHoo is a scam because another product produced by the SaleHoo owners, Auction Inspector, is an inferior product to his own Auction Revolution product. That’s just his opinion here. And even if it was inferior, that doesn’t make it a scam by any means.

The reader of this article should also be aware that none of the AuctionXFactor product, produced by SaleHoo was plagiarized, or paraphrased from any of Terry Gibb’s works. Yet Terry made it look as though that was the case.

The word scam should never be used without proper evidence and due thought. It is incredibly harmful to SaleHoo’s business, and yet there was poor evidence displayed by Terry Gibbs, other than obvious jealousy and resentment. It boils down to the fact that Terry is annoyed that SaleHoo is purchased by more people than who visit and purchase from him and he believes he has a better product. That in no way makes salehoo a scam.

The truth is SaleHoo is not a scam. I’ve logged into their members area and there are literally thousands of wholesale suppliers to choose from. And there are a lot of members who have been there long term who post on the forums and talk to each other about various things to do with buying and selling wholesale products.

Unfortuantely the internet has a very long memory for this type of thing. SaleHoo is certainly going to be adversely affected by Terry’s actions for a long time to come. People who search for salehoo in the search engines will find Terry’s biased and unfair review and will purchase from Terry instead without knowing the real truth.

SaleHoo has set up their own reply to let others know the truth, but like many sensationalist stories, people don’t really want to know what is actually true here.

The poker premiums that are made for first time players are designed to help them build a larger bankroll to get started with. A bigger bankroll simply gives the player the ability to play more hands and make more money for the house.

However, a match bonus is offered in the form of percentage for your deposits. You can easily receive a bonus of 100% percent of your total deposit. You can then cash these bonuses in to play in the live games.

It seems that there are over a million work at home opportunities out there these days. Entire magazines offer pages and pages of home based business ideas, and ways to make money while being your own boss. After all, there are so many pros to working at home, that it makes it attractive to just about anyone. The normal work at home ad normally capitializes on these pros, like no traffic, no hassles, you don’t have to spend as much money on gas, clothes etc etc. While all of this is true, sometimes what they forget to mention in these ads are some of the cons of working at home. This is where you need to sink your teeth into some unbiased, candid reviews of work at home opportunities before you take the leap into one of your own.

And it might be. It’s a great plan, and a wonderful lifestyle if you can stick to it. Oftentimes people that want to work from home, lack some of self discipline and time management skills necessary to do it well, or at all. They procrastinate, put off what needs to be done today until they finish that book, or that next cup of coffee. So, making money from home, can turn into going further into debt because you aren’t accomplishing your tasks! American Dream, or American Nighmare? Reading reviews about work at home opportunities from unbiased sources can often times help you steer clear of stumbling into your own self defeating prophecy. More importantly reading these reviews and being honest with yourself is what every responsible person would do before you \”quit your day job\”.

In a normal workday, one can rest assured that they will get up, fight traffic, make it into the office to have a set of prepared tasks for them to do. If, for some reason they are unable to accomplish them, they know that they will have a supervisor to answer to. Oftentimes this is enough to keep us all on the straight and narrow, to make sure we spend a minimal amount of time goofing off and a maximum amount of time completing the tasks provided to us. This structured set up is what we are pre-programmed to do since childhood, so straying too far from this, can sometimes spell disaster for the budding dreams of a home based worker, where none of this particular type of structure exists.

This is not to say that working at home can’t be an excellent, viable and lucrative opportunity for those that can handle it. There are a plethora of positives that one can wrap up in like a warm blanket on a winter day. For example, when you’re working at home you don’t have a nagging boss, you aren’t spending half of your paycheck on gas, parking, nice clothes. You’re alone, in your ‘fortress of solitude’, away from the world, and able to get work done. You can concentrate and your life is your own. Everyone works better when they’re alone, right?

Not necessarily. Sometimes the home based worker can feel isolated, they don’t have anyone to talk to, and are plagued with loneliness. Do your home work on flying solo in a home based business, and make sure you have enough resources available to your socially when decided to be your own boss. Making sure you take some time out to read reviews of the time consumption and social resources in available jobs can make all the difference sometimes in choosing the right opportunity for your lifestyle.

Working from home is great, providing that you’re working. One of the complaints about those new to the work at home or telecommuting industry is that they will often times find a million other things to do to substitute what they should be doing. They will get to work after they fold that laundry, or they’ll go to work after this episode of Oprah. This is the fastest way to get from the gravy train to the soup kitchen! However, there are many individuals who found ways to overcome this, and reading reviews prior to undertaking a new opportunity can arm you to be successful in combating common distractions.

Reading work at home forums, reviews and other materials will also help you select which opportunity is the \”right\” one for you. Knowing the social and economic expectations that each opportunity does or does not provide, and knowing your own limitations is what has made or broken those that marched before you. Learning from this experience is key to your success, and can help you avoid pit falls.

There is a lot to consider when you are thinking about leaving a \”normal job\” to work at home, but none so much as your health and well being. Make time to learn about how this type of change affected people emotionally and physically. Make sure that they had the time for their families that they opportunities claimed that they would, and that the reasons people in that industry were successful is because they are truly, just like \”you\”. Weigh in on working at home, so the scale doesn’t tip over in the wrong direction.
