Free Online Dating Service : Are There Disadvantages And Are They Free?

When you are looking for a dating site, the obvious comparison is between paid sites and a free online dating service. Here is some straight talk about disadvantages.

The answer to the question about whether or not there are disadvantages in using a free online dating service site depends on who is doing the answering. If someone that favors a paid site responds to the questions about site quality, you can be certain that the answer will include some of the following factors. You can also be sure that some of the statements and characteristics ascribed to the free dating service sites are either incorrect or can be perceived as advantages rather than disadvantages. In order to rate the free sites, here are some of the common negative factors that are noted.

The numbers

The paid sites’ spokespersons state that you should use a paid site rather than a free online dating service because the free sites are smaller with fewer profiles posted on the site to select from. That may be true in the very early stages of a free site, simply because it takes time for momentum of members to build, no matter which type of site is considered. That statement is still modified by the initial advertising budget available to the web site. If it is identical, neither type of site has an advantage. If one budget for advertising is larger, it will likely provide more and better results, dependent upon whether or not the advertising budget is effectively used.

Geographical distribution

The statement has been made that it is harder to find a person to date who is close to the location of the searcher in a smaller area. Of course, that can be true of paid or unpaid sites. In a small data base, it may be skewed in either the direction of positive information or that of few hits to provide a dating opportunity. Again, the payment of a membership fee does not guarantee that you will find results in an area of interest any more than does a free online dating service.

Web site security

Once again, paid site proponents state that the quality of the programming on the paid site is superior to that on a free online dating service site. However, although a larger budget may mean you have the option of paying a higher price for a programmer, the web site security is not guaranteed by more money. The quality of the programmer and the attention given by the web site owner to correct procedures to ensure handling sensitive information makes the difference between a good web site and a poor web site. Designing and building the web site and maintaining the accuracy and interest of the web site can be done through a budget in either the paid or free website.

Advertising

With a free online dating service, you are dependent upon the advertising revenue you can drum up for the free internet service in order to be able to continue providing the service for members. Without membership you don’t have advertisers and without advertisers you don’t have as many members. The only difference with the paid sites is that there is more than one revenue source.

There’s only one resource where you can find real information on a free dating service. Free Online Dating Service or Online Dating Service is that location. Check it out for free dating opportunities at zero cost now.

The Penn Experiment

Many cringe when scientists victimize animals for medical experiments. However, many African American men from Tuskegee, Ala. to Philadelphia have found themselves the victims of “good science” since the early 1900s, some with deadly consequences.

According to Tuskegee.edu, “For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 Black men in the late stages of syphilis. Informed that they were being treated for ‘bad blood,’ their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from the autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death.”

Twenty-eight men died directly from syphilis because of the Tuskegee Experiment, with 100 more dying of syphilis-related complications.

Despite the tragic results of the syphilis study in Alabama, the scientific experimentation on Black males continued, as the University of Pennsylvania found more human guinea pigs at Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia.

In 1964 Edward “Butch” Anthony entered “the Burg” on drug charges and began participating in scientific experiments, like many of his cellmates, to earn much-needed cash. Inmates participating in the tests could earn hundreds of dollars a month as opposed to the 25 cents a day given for regular prison jobs.

“I signed myself away as a guinea pig, a lab rat. But they told us the tests were safe, we didn’t have nothing to worry about. They paid good money, but we wouldn’t have done them if we were told they were dangerous,” said Anthony who now goes by the first name Yusef.

According to The Daily Pennsylvanian, Yusef Anthony participated in the Penn-conducted Johnson & Johnson bubble bath test. An inmate peeled off patches of his skin and sprayed chemicals on his open wounds. Pus-filled blisters began to form overnight and his dark brown skin turned “strawberry” red.

After several excruciating days, doctors took him off the study and paid him a “whopping” $37. “I was paranoid, I thought everybody was plotting and whispering about me. I laid in my cell and hallucinated, I don’t know if it was days or weeks. I thought I went to hell,” Anthony recalled.

The Penn medical tests at Holmesburg Prison lasted from 1951 to 1974.

Hundreds of the victims of the Penn experiments attempted to sue the city and Dr. Albert Kligman, who conducted the study, but judges threw out the case because the statute of limitations had expired.

“Some of the studies led to the development of anti-wrinkle cream Retin-A and have made Penn and Kligman millions,” according to Jessica Sidman of The Daily Pennsylvanian.

“For 25 years, Holmesburg was a department of human experimentation for private-or public-sector entities who wanted something to be tested,” said author Allen Hornblum.

According to Hornblum, many of the prisoners were illiterate, but forced to sign waivers, and exposed to infectious diseases, radioactive isotopes, psychotropic drugs and other dangerous chemicals for skin-related research.

Kligman, now 91, refuses to do interviews but the University of Pennsylvania acknowledges the tests took place but states that those type of experiments were commonplace in that era.

However, with the help of Hornblum, Anthony recently published a book through Penn State Press entitled, Sentenced to Science that recounts his horrific experience at the Holmesburg State Prison from 1964 to 1966.

Over 40 years later, Anthony still feels the effects of his experience at Holmesburg. At age 64 he must visit a doctor at least once a month, his hands sometimes swell to the size of boxing gloves, and his size 10 feet sometimes struggle to fit a size 14 shoe; just a small reminder of his contributions to science and medical advancements.

Relationship Rescue

There was a time when the family was the backbone of the Black community. The single parent household was unheard of, and Black men cherished their women as if she was a queen. However, in recent years, the traditional Black family has become a distant memory, because of fathers who are missing in action, and a generation that does not value the family dynamic.

On July 2, the Essence Festival empowerment seminars presented a program entitled, “Reawakening the Spirit,” dedicated to uplifting African Americans and strengthening relationships and marriages in the Black community.

Hosted by Reverend Marcia L. Dyson, the seminar began with an inspirational Sunday worship service, which included performances by the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church Choir and an inspiring message by Reverend Dr. Renita Weems.

Weems’ message began by addressing the issue of sexism in the Black church. She said, “Women can fry fish and prepare Sunday dinners but they cannot serve in the pulpit at many churches.”

Despite the fact that contributions made by women often go overlooked in many Black churches, she said wisdom is an attribute of a goddess and the wisdom that the grandmothers of the community possessed is missing in today’s society.

“Women don’t want to be old enough to be mothers and grandmothers, and the lessons that were taught to us at an early age are not being taught to the next generation,” Weems said.

She said that 70 percent of Black children are born to unwed mothers, and 60 percent of Black marriages end in divorce. Women must stand in the tradition of Sojourner Truth and other icons of Black history, and protect the children, Weems urged.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California said she was once that statistic, as a single mother on welfare while attending Mills College in Oakland. However, she was so inspired by Shirley Chisholm’s bid for the United States presidency in 1972, that she decided the only way to contribute to the community is to become involved in the decision-making process.

The highlight of the empowerment seminar was Mo’Nique’s list of 20 things that people should not do in relationships.

Mo’Nique’s journey to a happy marriage included an abusive first marriage and infidelity on her part in her second marriage.

“Lying in a relationship leads to cheating and manipulating,” Mo’Nique said. In order for one to have a happy marriage, couples need to be honest about their feelings toward other people, that way you will know your mate much better, and not worry about what the other is thinking or doing because being honest leads to an open marriage.

The comedian said it is unrealistic to think your spouse will never commit adultery, but if one does, it is imperative that they protect themselves and not bring deadly diseases back into our homes.

Mo’Nique next addressed the issue of marriage in the Black community. She said that far too many women only focus on a man’s bank account when considering marriage, instead of focusing on love.

She said, “A garbage man might treat their woman right, and a millionaire might be abusive.”

According to her, women need strong men, who tell their women they have their back throughout all of life’s difficulties. The comedian informed the crowd that men need to be treated like kings and women their queens.

Iyanla Vanzant warned women that they keep getting into relationships with people who take, but never give anything back. Vanzant informed Black men that they should surrender their life to God and realize that women have their back. She also warned women to stop complaining about their men, because when you complain you give birth to even more problems.

Vanzant said, “Far too many times, we look to others to solve our relationship problems when in actuality when we are in trouble all we need to do is lift our eyes to the heavens with the expectation that help is going to come.”

Justin Boots: Past, Present, Future

Any product that’s been around for nearly 150 years has to be pretty good. Justin Boots, Ivory Soap, and light bulbs all were counted as new developments in 1879. How many of those products do you use today? Countless makers of cowboy boots have come and gone over the years, but Justin Boots is one company that has stayed the course. Quite an accomplishment for any manufacturer.

Cowboy boots basically come in two distinct styles—those made for work use and those made more for fashion purposes and good looks. If you are looking for a high-quality, durable, well-made boot that protects your feet during dirty or dangerous work, then Justin Boots has an entire line made specifically for you. If you are trying to find a pair of cowboy boots that are attractive and fashionable then you can find those with Justin Boots, too.

Cowboy boots were first designed to be practical, with a sturdy design to protect your feet from predators and the elements, yet allow for comfort while working. High quality leather allowed feet to breathe, preventing blisters and other problems. The heel functioned as a safety feature, to keep a cowboy’s foot from slipping through the stirrup while riding on the ranch or the trails. Today, those same features are present—but, there’s a twist. No longer are these features exclusively work-related. Exotic leathers still allow feet to breathe, but now create interesting styles. Those same heels intended for safety now make a fashion statement, for both men and women.

Baseball, apple pie, and cowboy boots all are traditional symbols of true all-American style. Whether found on the plains or on the city streets, Justin Boots fit perfectly and reflect that image. Keeping up with the latest industry technologies for boot design and manufacturing has helped the company stand out against the competition. Overall, the boots have changed little over time. The consistently excellent quality offered by Justin Boots is a tradition in itself at this point.

Some would say that cowboy boots are one of the hottest footwear trends today; however, if you look more closely at history, you’d have a hard time finding a span during the past 100 years when they were not considered cool. Justin Boots has been and still is a big part of that style, in the past, in the present, and in the future. This is no passing fad. Justin Boots let the workmanship and craftsmanship speak for itself, no other boots have made such a footprint, and they are going to keep kicking for a long time.

Longevity for a company especially within the last 100 years is a testament to the dedication and quality of the products Justin Boots offers. Great business decisions, not compromising because of a bottom line figure, and extreme focus on the consumer’s wishes have kept this company ahead of its competition. Want to sell boots to people? You better know what the people want and what the people like, because this is what they are going to buy, and this is what Justin Boots does so well.

What You Need To Know To Get A Girlfriend

It is not a secret that men find it harder to get a girlfriend than it is for women to get a boyfriend that they like. Maybe one reason is because men find it harder to put what they really feel into words whether with the same sex or the opposite.

There are some steps to be followed for a man to get a girlfriend successfully. Unless, there is a woman who will come a man’s way with the declaration of love for him; the man must learn the steps on how to get a girlfriend that he likes.

Men, young and old alike lack courage to speak with the opposite sex, most especially when a man thinks that he found the woman of his dreams in that certain woman. It will be very impossible to get a girlfriend for a man who will never be able to muster his courage to talk to a woman.

Everything will have to start with communication and there is no other way to communicate without talking, unless, of course, the man is mute! It is not really a big deal, muster that courage and talk to the lady you have your eyes on and you will see that it is not such a big deal. You will surely feel comfortable talking once you started to pick on a conversation with a lady.

A man’s fashion style is one essential thing for any man to get the attention of the opposite sex. It must be maintained at all times, as well as proper hygiene. Confidence and courage is important to start the first conversation with a woman but without the elements of style in a man before the attempt to talk, it will surely be unsuccessful.

Showing efforts on how you look and present yourself to the opposite sex is a successful part on how to get a girlfriend. One way to see that your breath smells good before approaching a girl to talk is by licking the back of your hand and smelling it. The smell you can sniff from the lick on your hand is most probably how your breath smells. Of course, this is important to avoid getting a woman get turned off with the way you smell.

The final part on how to get a girlfriend will be the approach that you will be using. Sometimes, due to the nerve-wracking idea of getting a woman or a lady to talk to you, man gets to charge the opposite sex with pick-up lines that result to a negative impression. This must be avoided to start the attraction process of getting an opposite sex interested with a man. Cheesy lines do not work on women.

Impressions that are made the first time last, remember? Get a good shot at the only chance you get for building the impression you want by being natural. Be sensitive with the body language the woman is showing. Let her react to you by smiling; when you see a lady smiling, then, that is your signal, move on and go further in trying to win her interest in you!

Love Advice

Everybody wants to do their best when it comes to love. Why? Because anyone who messes up on this aspect of any man or woman’s life will result to a lot of pains and hurts, which can be life-damaging. This is the reason that everybody always tries to look for the right rules on love and falling in love from love advice available from the internet, magazines and love ‘experts’.

There may be some sensible advice for those people who are in love, however, the realistic views must be considered by those involved in a relationship. Not every advice is suitable for everyone’s love relationships. There are certain differences involved in the outcome, especially because the people involved in each relationship are different and unique from one another.

The main reason that humans have the need to be in a relationship is for them to be appreciated, and this is not a remote situation. Everybody needs someone and seeking for love advice to have that someone to stay with you is not a remote idea. Getting to know what will suit you and your relationship is essential to be able to know the appropriateness of the advice that you will follow.

First of all, people seeking for advice regarding their relationships must identify the main reason why they need it. Most of these people do not realize that their partner and their relationship are actually well, but they are searching for their personal happiness alone, finding problems in the area of their relationship that does not cater to their needs for happiness. There are particulars for the requirements of each individual, and not being able to get these requirements cause dissatisfaction for a partner.

The only love advice that will be applicable for any love relationships between a man and a woman is that both parties need to have the ‘unconditional love’. This kind of love is suggestive that there are no conditions set for both the man and the woman to be happy while in the relationship. There is an understanding that will grow between them as well as the respect for the individuality of each other’s differences.

There are things that may not make us so giddy with happiness out of what the partner is habitually used to and yet the happiness from being with the person is maintained. This kind of love does not only focus on the personal preference of a partner, but the stretching of patience and understanding will be learned until both will be able to reach the total happiness that one can bring the other.

There is really no perfect love but working on making the relationship work because of love for a partner is certainly enough reason to develop the relationship to have the unconditional and satisfying love. Remember, when in a relationship, it is a partnership and not of service for one part alone. Both partners need to identify their differences and work on having the unconditional love before both can have a blissful relationship together.

However, without one partner’s cooperation, it can be hard to have the equal benefit of the kind of love with patience, understanding and respect that the unconditional love has. Reality on getting a love that is 100% perfect is hard; you have to work on it with understanding and respect for your partner.

How To Score With Women

Getting a woman’s attention is different from getting her impressed. Moreover, men do need to knock women off their feet if they really want to go further than the first date or the second one. As women are from Venus, as many said, men will have a hard time knowing how to conquer their woman completely. First step is the understanding the needs and wants of the women generally.

As we all know, women is by far clean and tidy compared to a man. Surely, a man must present himself smelling clean and looking fresh to any woman that he desires, especially the woman you are dating. A slob will not go as far as her doorstep only. However, if you show in her doorstep with a cleanly scrubbed skin and crispy-clean clothes on, you might get a cheek-to cheek action with her. It is also clear that women have morphed into very independent beings.

They also the privacy they hate to be intruded, communicate with her through a very subtle way to confirm your visit or a date planned, so they will not feel left hanging on the date plans you had with her. Surely, with a courteous communication and a clean man showing for the date, you surely will score high with women you choose to date.

Make sure that you know who are in the home of your date. Some women live with their friends in an apartment, some young ladies, with their families. Not every women can be living alone, keep that in mind. To score with women, the people around her daily must have good impressions about you, whether they are her friends or her family.

Make sure not to come and pick your date from her home empty handed, especially with other housemates. Be punctual and have proper clothes on when you are meeting your date. Be consistent with these qualities and you will surely knock any woman right off her feet! Positive comments coming from the woman’s family and friends will surely give more encouragements for her to keep on going out with a man like you. You will gain your ally automatically when you get on the right foot with her family members and friends.

Of course, the important part will be the date you prepare for your woman. Whether your date may be a young woman or a mature woman already, you can score with women by planning for your date well. Be creative and give your woman the time of her life. Be sure to mind your manners and etiquettes when you are out with her. When you understand this and maintain these qualities of a date, your woman will always be looking forward to your next surprise or date. You can also be very comfortable with the next dates when you know that you scored well with her on your dates. Getting on the right side of things from the start can lead simple dates to a more serious relationship.

The Truth About Seduction

Seduction has been in question for its real purpose. Even if it is done in the most subtle way or even the most obvious reason, seducing an opposite sex is to have sex with the seduced prey. This is the art of getting sexual satisfaction for many, both males and females.

The sexual desire for some is very strong and the way for the satisfaction of this sexual desire is seducing a partner to copulate with the seducer. Even if the goal is just to have sex, there are still certain rules or strategy that needs to be learned to get your sexual prey surrender.

Others find the thrill of seduction for the chase than their conquest. Finding someone they want and pursuing that individual to surrender in a sexual activity with them fills them with excitement. Some also find the power of their attraction self-fulfilling by getting another person’s attention focused on them sexually.

The two different purposes on the act of seducing an opposite sex have two different personalities, as well. The ones who seduce for the chase are commonly the ones with very strong confidence and personality. On the other hand, the ones that seduce for the self-fulfillment of knowing that someone else appreciates their sexual prowess are usually with less self-confidence.

Sometimes, it is also very important to choose the right person to seduce. Instinct is a very important part on choosing a sexual partner. Seducing a prey needs to be applied in the right time and place, nevertheless, being in the wrong time and place with the knowledge of surrendering from the prey adds more arousal, challenge and excitement to the act of seducing.

It is important for the seducer to get hints of interests from the chosen prey. Body language is the best place to look for the clues. This is because some people may not be very verbal about their willingness to go to bed with the seducer. You must learn to look for the open gestures. You can get the biggest clue to the willingness of your chosen partner with the eyes. Gazing and getting long eye contacts suggest that your prize is all yours to take. Trust your instincts and go for the kill!

Flirting is similar with the act of seducing a partner. In flirting, we show our partner that we need to be wooed continuously to keep other interested people off limits. However, when flirting is applied in seduction, we are arousing a person’s interests and sexual desire, as well as showing that you both are into something.

When the contact is finally made, get the information on what kind of sex will likely take place. There is a need for self-disclosure for both to learn if they will make a good sex partner. Sustaining the attraction at this stage is very important; it might make or break the final reaping of your hard work in seducing and working your charms at your prey. In the end, the prey may even be the predator too when things are led to the right way.

My Battle: A Former Drug User, Comes Clean

I wasn’t always an addict. Let me put it another way. My addictive tendencies were not always in a state of actualization. I remember a childhood of experimentation, which eventually led to the first time I inhaled marijuana. My friends were from childhood in those days. We were a sorted group of “clowns and geniuses” that were neither popular or bored. Our restlessness brought us to new arenas of entertainment and excitement. By the time I had reached college and my childhood friends and I were preparing to ultimately split, we had experimented with hallucinogens, cocaine, and ecstasy.

When I reached college my drug use expanded. Other addictions increased as well. I became a porn addict and my addiction to sex, hidden underneath the false sense of short lived monogamous relationships, increased exponentially. By the time my senior year rolled around I felt like I was heading to a train wreck. Women in our circle of friends had long since ignored my advances, knowing full well I could never commit and my drug use had reached epic proportions. It was clear to all I needed a change.

Salvation in a Blink of An Eye

One day, after a night of long partying, I heard a knock on my fraternity room door. Without thinking I returned in an affirmative for the person to enter. I was surprised to see a childhood friend enter in. We had grown up together, he being a part of my high school friends that had introduced me to many narcotics. “I heard you had hit a rut,” he said. “What do you mean?” I answered, “Just look at me, I look great don’t I?” I finished with a smile. That day my friend brought me to detox center and later I started attending 12 Step programs. I struggled for a while, realizing that there was a beast inside of me, fearful that it was getting cornered. There were times where the beast would win and I would fall back to my former self abusive days, yet as time when on the beast became weaker and the real me, the inner me that had been buried deep inside began to surface.

My 12 Step meetings offered me a source of comfort and friendship. The Big Book of AA provided a rock to lean on. After a while I began to pray to G-d and ask forgiveness from those that I had hurt. The road was hard and still is hard. One of the hardest things is facing yourself…your true self. After all we come into this world with so much potential and then to waste it on momentary happiness is perhaps the most depressing part of being addicted. Our inner being is who we are, but it is the beast of addiction that consumes an addict. Forever fighting and forever battling, the addict can neither afford to rest nor to relax, because the moment there is any pause in one’s fortitude, the beast will win.

Giving Not Receiving

Now that I have checked my beast, I have realized that the best role I can play in this painful, yet at the same time beautiful world is to be that guy who walks through the door of another’s room, plucking them from the depths of addiction. In that sense I can be a giver and not a receiver.

Sammy Bickmen is a recent graduate who speaks often on drug and sex addiction in high schools and colleges. More information on Teen Addiction
