Hey y’all! If you’re subscribed to my free monthly advice newsletter, then you probably saw that our photo hour is today and we still have a couple spots left. Please get in touch ASAP if you’d like to claim a seat! Since we’re planning on doing more of these events in more cities (stay tuned!), I wanted to show you guys …
Hey lovebirds! You know how I’m always harping at you to get cuter pictures uploaded to your dating profile? Well, you’re in luck if you’re in the Seattle area! My photographer Jennifer and I are finally co-hosting our first much-buzzed-about Snappy Hour event. Here’s one of my favorite pictures of myself that Jennifer took, and one of Jennifer’s favorite pictures of …
Hey lovebirds! I recently posted a video about the Cheerleader Effect, otherwise known as the idea that people look more attractive in group photos than single shots. I’m not a photo data scientist, and I don’t mean to debunk this study’s core findings—I’ve heard they’re real anecdotally, and I believe I’ve observed those effects in practice. But that doesn’t mean …
Hey lovebirds, hope you’ve had a great week! I wanted to share my first-ever piece on Medium, all about how much I dislike default text. There’s even some online dating relevancy in there: …straight guys, frustrated by low response rates from women, start to broaden their outreach by messaging a larger number of potentially less compatible women. This gets tedious, …
The Pew Internet & American Life Project is a mouthful. (And I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist a dorky post title!) They recently released a report about online dating and relationships—you can read an overview here, or the full report here. Surveys like this are always interesting, but they’re hardly comprehensive. After all, you can’t get the entire world to …
Hey folks, I hope you’ve had a fantastic week! I’ve had a quiet one, as you may have noticed. 🙂 I’ve been kinda heads-down doing some revamping on the site—some of the important pages like Safety and Tech Tips no longer appear in the main menu, but you can still access them via the new Free Resources page. As the …
I was just browsing my feedly this morning, checking out what was going on in the pockets of the world that I regularly read. And I came across something that’s HUGE, you guys. Simply massive. Creative Mornings is a wonderful series of free breakfast lectures that was started by design guru Swiss Miss. I’ve only attended one so far, because …
Ugh, I *hate* when life gets in the way of my normal communication and business patterns, ya know? Like when you’re trapped at a boring conference with lots of down time and no Wi-Fi. 🙂 I’ve been in recovery (aka sleeping a lot, idly web browsing while zonked out on painkillers, and Netflix binging in bed) for the past week …
I had such a great time recording episode 8 of The Heartographer Podcast, with my very special guest Matthew Baldwin! He’s sometimes better known as Defective Yeti, and he’s been a funny guy on the Internet since most of you guys knew what the word blog meant. (Myself included.) Matthew was good enough to make time to chat with me …
I stumbled upon this lovely Guardian piece about the all-too-common online dating phenomenon known as The Silence. After experiencing being ignored a couple of times, it kind of felt that this was just the way it was done. An unwritten code of accepted rudeness that you probably wouldn’t apply in other aspects of your life – unless you were a …
