Suzanne Wentley

The Short Version: Online daters understand that their first impression — and often their decision to connect with someone — has almost everything to do with that person’s profile picture. If they aren’t attractive, it may not matter how much you have in common; there's a good chance you'll overlook them.

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews

Pets are important to a lot of people -- just look at the numbers. Approximately, 66% of U.S. households own a pet, pet owners are often seen as more attractive, and 1 out of every 3 pet owners would break up with someone who didn't like their dog.

Approximately, 50% of the people in the U.S. are 40 years old or older, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. That's half of the population, but often these men and women feel devalued as they get older, especially in terms of dating. It's true that dating in your 40s and...

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews

We do a lot of things in life that could be considered bad ideas. We order another drink when we should go home and get some sleep. We skip going to the gym and binge watch something on Netflix or Disney+ instead. We spend our paycheck on clothes and sweets rather than putting it in a high-interest savings account. From an objective standpoint, it's easy to see that these are bad ideas that won't pay off in the...

Car dating sites can get you on the fast track to a date with some hot stuff in hot wheels. My first car was a black 1998 Mustang.
