Celebrate National Lollipop Day with Singles365!

Singles365 — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:40:43 +0000

The Lollipop – an iconic image of the flirt; embodying the aesthetically pleasing and yet unobtainable pleasure associated with that of the tease! Tease being an age old flirting technique. With today being National Lollipop Day – what better way to celebrate than with a homage to the lollipop and to the tease…

Britney, Fergie, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian have all done it – they have all struck that classic lollipop pose! Dada and Lil Wayne have even dedicated songs to it! Why not get involved and strike your own lollipop pose! Upload it as your profile picture – a guareenteed attention grabber!

So what’s so fascinating about a piece of hard candy on a stick that one licks? Simple – it is not the object itself…but the suggestion and the body language behind it. It flirts and it teases! It takes a maximum of 4 minutes to decide whether we like someone. 55% of this is based on your potential flirt’s body language, 33% is from tone, speed and nuance of voice and a mere 7% is from what they are actually saying…

So how would you spend those crucial 4 minutes? How would you expect someone to impress you within those 4 minutes? Does the licking of a lollipop do it for you? Or are there other methods that really impress you?

Why do women love Edward Cullen?

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:37:57 +0000

With the new Twilight movie out at cinemas this Friday the wonder that is Edward Cullen will be blessing our screens once again! Hurrah!

Eclipse, the third of the series about Bella Swan (the ugly duckling) and her vampire boyfriend, filled the cinemas over the weekend with swooning, sighing and cheering women when it was previewed across the country. Thousands have read the books, millions love the movies and there are now more fans than ever fascinated with Edward Cullen. Why we hear you cry!

Edward…the most beautiful, chivalrous, un-attainable guy who’s also a little bit dangerous (he’s a vampire remember) is Bella’s protector (…he’s one of the good ones) and makes her feel like she’s the single most important being in the whole universe. Ah swoon…

Here are a few tips for the guys to increase your Cullenisity while on a date…

Be chivalrous

Open doors for your date (including car doors), take her jacket and pull out her chair for her. This shows respect for her and will earn you major brownie points.

Be modest

Do not exaggerate and speak modestly of your achievements. Women generally like confidence but not arrogance.

Be romantic

Surprise her with a small gift or flowers. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just thoughtful.

Listen to her

Look her in the eyes when she speaks to you and really listen to what she is saying.

Dress nicely

Show your date that you have made an effort for her. Think understated with a touch of class.

Only have eyes for her

If you make your woman feel like she is the only one in the room you are definitely on your way to being Cullenesque…and that can only be a very good thing.

Take this quiz to find out how similar to Edward you actually are.

Spring Style: seasonal fashion for the girls

Singles365 — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 08:22:11 +0000

Now that we’ve all stopped having to hide away under dozens of layers on heavy knitwear, it’s time to crack open our summer wardrobes or hit the High Street and start to flash a bit of flesh (a bit of fake tan may be required!).

Neutral Tones

Neutral colours are very much in for 2010. Think khaki, camel, and beige, but these colours don’t suit all skin colours so you could go for light grey instead.

Frills & Spills

To add a bit of extra interest to your outfit, go for frills, ruches & knotting, feathered skirts and dresses. Pair these with a neutral top for a balanced look.

Tear It Up

Ripped and torn denim is making a comeback, so it’s time to either ruin a perfectly good new pair of Levi’s or raid the attic for that genuine vintage look.

Spring Style: seasonal fashion for the boys

Singles365 — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 08:07:41 +0000

The sun’s starting to make more regular appearances so we can climb out from under all those layers of fleece and crack open our summer wardrobes to show off the great work we’ve been doing in the gym over the winter (you have been going to the gym haven’t you?!).

Suited & Booted

Invest in a good quality lightweight suit for when formal occasions come along. The only serious choice to stay cool, fashionable and smart all at the same time.

Get Ripped

Ripped and patched denim is making a comeback, so it’s time to either ruin a perfectly good new pair of Levi’s or raid the attic for that genuine vintage look.

Button It!

Try pairing a button down collar with jeans or wear it under a blazer. Great for that “made an effort” smart-casual look without appearing too formal.

Fair-weather Friends: date ideas for sunny days

Singles365 — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 08:48:06 +0000

As the weather improves, this time of year presents all sorts of new possibilities so take the opportunity to get out in the fresh air and sunshine…

Go for a Picnic

For an intimate (and cheap) time, just pack up a bottle of wine and some sandwiches and head to the park. You can find as secluded a spot as you like, giving you plenty of time to chat with no interruptions. Just make sure you don’t set yourselves down in the middle of a Sunday league game of football!

Life’s a Beach!

OK, so it may not be warm enough to swim or sunbath just yet, but right now you’ll find seaside resorts a lot less crowded than in the middle of summer which leaves more space for sunny strolls on the beach, fish & chips on the promenade and losing a few pounds in the amusement arcades!

Plain Sailing

No, not a fortnight cruising the Med (that’s more of a summer date!). Just find your closest river or lake and hire a rowing boat or pedalo for a few hours to get away from the crowds. Avoid a canoe though (unless you’re particularly fond of the back of your date’s head!).

Full of Hot Air?

With nature blooming and the countryside coming to life, there’s no better time to take to the skies for an aerial view of your area. There are numerous companies offering trips ranging from a couple of hours to day-long excursions with prices to fit every pocket.

Spring Cleaning: spruce up your profile

Singles365 — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:22:20 +0000

Maybe it’s the flowers blooming, the birds singing, or just that vaguely familiar yellow circle reappearing in the sky(!), but whatever the reason, spring time just seems to bring out the best in people.

It’s also a time for change here at Singles365.com which means that there’s no better time to re-assess who you’re looking for and spring clean your profile.

Have a look at our simple ideas on how to easily freshen up your profile and we’re sure you’ll start to see even more messages come flooding in.

Upload a new photo

It’s always good to keep your main profile photo up to date so now’s the time to relegate that snap from your Christmas party and say hello with a bright-and-breezy springtime pic. If you’ve not got anything lying around then grab your camera and take a new one of you enjoying the sunshine.

Re-write your description

Even if it’s only a couple of weeks old, it’s worth starting your profile from scratch once in a while to give it a fresh feel and weed out any of those things you’ve said that might not be so important any more. Writing about yourself can also help you work out just what you’re looking for.

Update your profile regularly

People will often check your profile a few times before they get in touch so if you’re constantly updating your profile with interesting things about your life, they’ll not only realise that you use the site regularly, they’ll also know what a fascinating person you are too!

Quality Counts: new improved customer care

Singles365 — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 09:27:15 +0000

We know you want to be sure that you’re chatting to a genuine person on Singles365.com, not someone with ulterior motives. So we’ve introduced a series of measures which will allow us to ‘weed out’ 99% of non-genuine Members before you ever come into contact with them.

Take a look at our great new features…

Profile Checking

Every new profile that’s uploaded on Singles365.com will be checked to make sure it meets our exacting standards. If it doesn’t make the grade it won’t appear on the site and you won’t be bothered by it – that’s our guarantee to you. To ensure we maintain this quality going forward, we will also review any changes or edits to profiles too.

First Message Approval

It’s great to hear from someone new when they join the site, but we want to ensure that they’re sending out the right sort of messages. As a result we’re introducing First Message Approval, which means all new Members will have their first message checked by us – before it ever gets to you.

This will help us identify and prevent messages being used for inappropriate or misleading purposes.

Dictionary

Our new system allows us to check that the wording Members are using in their profiles, messages and diaries are appropriate for the site and do not intentionally offend other Members. This will aid us in preventing any strange or misleading activity taking place on the site, improving your online dating experience.

Our Customer Care and Moderation teams are working hard to help us track down, review and remove false and misleading profiles and inappropriate messaging from Singles365.com.
