Online Dating Sites: Guess Who Drives These Services Today

Technology has been a part of my life today. I can't live without the internet, honestly. I will go crazy. I have relied my personal sanity on it. My blogs, they keep me alive. Facebook makes me connected to my friends and my mom. However, there's just one more thing that I haven't relied on it -- my lovelife.

If there's a quizzical look on your face right now, then let me erase those creases on your forehead. I am speaking about online dating sites. Teenagers on online dating sites? Unlikely, I guess. They prefer interacting with their peers. Twenty somethings on online dating websites? Sure, for some who can't get a boyfriend or girlfriend. Thirties on online dating websites? Possible, since this is the settling down age. But do you know the group of people who currently drives the online dating scene?

Hold on tight. They're the baby boomers. Yes, your grandmom or grandpop search for that spark like you search for your homework in google. I want to believe that they do their searches on the best dating sites there is. Traditional as this age group appear to be, their outlook towards dating has broaden, making them adapt to the same technology that their grandchildren are using. Instead of the conventional chess games and three-feet walks, they have turned to primary pictures and personality profiles.

In fact, Match.com, an online dating site, have seen an eighty-nine percent increase in their clients for the last five years. The largest contributor of this increase can be attributed to the 50-65 age group. For more information about the online dating services of this company, you can look up Match.com review. Reviews of other best online dating services can be seen on Consumer-Rankings.com.

I can't imagine my mom meeting somebody halfway across the globe online. Though she is free since she has been widowed for eight years now, I am not sure of how will I be able to handle it if she joins one.

The Magic of Falling in Love with A Reader

So, I was torn between doing my critical article review for my Economics class, working online and blogging earlier. School assignment triumphed, blogging won the second place. Side hustling is for later. Congralute me, loves? Tumblr photo credit But before that, this sneaky article entitled,  Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With caught my attention and while reading, I can't help but feel kilig for my boyfriend because he got a reader as a girlfriend. Haha. See, I like reading. I love reading way back in elementary. Dad got me a basket-full of books when he goes home (from working over the sea). The only thing that I have regretted is reading Sweet Valley Kids because it has poisoned my mind in finding true love and first kisses when I was just ten or eleven freaking years old. When I have kids, love story books should be out of their shelves. Real novels only, soon-to-be-babies. I am not claiming that I am this notorious r

In Case of Housemate Disputes, Smile

Happy isn't really a word to describe my day today. Today is like one of those bad hair days, made heavier by bitter longings and ended by irritating conversations. Back then, having a bad day in school is tolerable since I know total peace and quiet is waiting for me when I go home. My home scenario: Play with my dogs. Hug my mom. And eat a home-cooked dinner. Now that I am older and working, I have nothing to pour my days’ negativities on to but the internet. I am lucky if everything is smooth-sailing in the apartment. However, apartment life with fellow young professionals isn’t glam. It isn’t about house parties and beer anymore. You saw unwashed dishes on the sink this morning. You have gone home from work, yet they’re still there. Tomorrow morning, those unclean utensils are the first ones to greet you good morning while you brush your teeth. Nevertheless, smile. It’s a Saturday and your sleeping hours are extended. Finally, a 12-hour sleep, but, knock knock. Oh,

Weekly Wishes { Week 4 | May 2014 }

I am such a sucker for lists and goals that my brain does the forward trick, making me think of soooo many things at one time, making my body dead tired to do anything. Lol. Or maybe that is just my slacker excuse for being such a lazy ass. Now, I am going to tell you all about my failed goal tracker systems.  FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 1 - Wordpress Daily Tracker Blog Anyway, I did a temporary blog on my goals. I called it, "How Did The Dame Do Today?" . I was only active for three months there. Hah. I had a following though. Wordpress can really get you readers. Makes me think of migrating my personal blog in there. But again, I am toooo lazy to do it and I am quite afraid I might lose some posts. It's an abandoned blog now. Oh, well. FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 2 - Monthly Goals Last month , I started this monthly goals. Complete with typography if I may say. It went well for... a day? Yeah, just with the goal-setting part. What a shame. The poster
