Vampire Romance -- Why do Women Love them?

Vampire Romance -- Why do Women Love them?

Vampires are creepy, I mean they suck your blood, turning you into the creature of the night, but why are they so sexy or romantic.  Is it the fear or the thrill of the Vampires life, creeping around society, always up at night or sleeping during the day?  Could the Vampire be attractive because of the Bad Boy portrayal?  Maybe it is the way that Hollywood portrays these characters in most recent movies/series: "Twilight" and "True Blood".  You have to admit they are using characters that are very easy on the eyes making it easier to see a Vampire as a seductive creature.

AskMen.com released a top 10 list of Reasons Why Women Love Vampires and they also give advice for the single guy which I thought was interesting (you should read the article just for that  www.askmen.com).  See the list below starting with #10:

10.  Vampires are Loners:  Most guys run with the pack as they party on the weekends with friends, watch football, etc... Vampires are portrayed as loners.  They are usually out doing their own thing; therefore, they have all the time in the world for the women in their life.  

9.    Vampires require no Commitment during the day:  Even though women enjoy having their man around it does not always mean 24/7.  Therefore, Vampires give women a chance to spend some time with their girlfriends without feeling guilty.

8.    Vampires Dress Well:  It appears that Vampires are very well dressed and handsome.  They always have the best looking clothes and their hair is perfectly in place.  

7.    Vampires Love Necking:  Women do like Sex but better yet they like to fool around including necking.  Vampires don't really want sex but are willing to play the games.  They know how to start off tender and soft and then get a little rough!

6.    Vampires are Moody:   I guess we women like a little drama in our relationships.  It appears that it keeps things fresh and exciting.  Vampires are portrayed as moody men and that is why we like them.  (OK!)

5.     Vampires are Persuasive:  Vampires are smooth and soft-spoken.  They are suave and have a calming demeanor.  It appears that we women get off to this!

4.     Vampires Search Forever to Find Her:  Women love the romantic angle of a soul mate where two people were destined to meet, fall in love and be together forever.  It is even better knowing that the Vampire has been searching for centuries for just that right one.

3.     Vampires are Romantic:  Vampires know how to romance a women as the setting is always dark and mysterious.  As Vampires know how to pull all the tricks to make the setting perfect.

2.     Vampires are Powerful:  Vampires not only show a physical power but a mental one as well. It appears that women just love this one and I guess it could be because you just can't kill a vamp.

1.     Vampires are the Ultimate Bad Boys:  A Vampire is the Bad Boy for sure.  He is answers to no one, lives by his own rules, wears nice clothes, and hated by millions.  Lets face it, it is the boy your mother warned you about.

Some of this I agree with and others I don't.  I do agree with the last two as I guess that is what is so attractive about the Vampire; however, number 5 & 6 I do question. Either way, the most recent Vampire movies have given women more reasons to watch even if it is for that seductive moment!

Fake Profile Pictures on Dating Sites

Online Dating Profile Pictures -- Are they Fake?

Did the thought ever cross your mind that the picture you are viewing really is not the person you are about to meet? Over 80% of online daters have suspected that the profile images being used online are fakes and over a third have actually discovered that a person's identity does not match that of their online persona.

Yes, there are people out there that are using fake pictures and lying about their age, job or marital status.

For those of us who are wondering is this the real thing and how do I check it out? There is now a website called www.checkedprofile.com that is the first online photo verification system aimed at everyone who uses online dating web sites and social media. It is FREE for women (very cool) and $1.99 for men for the basic package.

Founder Ben Way states, "Up until now, people have been able to hide behind online identities and claim to be someone they are not. Just as we wouldn't accept this in the real world, we shouldn't have to accept this online. I want social networks and dating sites to give their users the option of having their identity verified, this will reduce the risk to their users; I have been horrified by some of the stories out there, and it's one of the reasons why I made the service free to women."

How does it work?

1. You upload the profile picture that you would like to be verified

2. The site gives you a unique code

3. Take another picture of yourself holding the unique code (akin to holding up a copy of today's newspaper)

4. One of CheckedProfile.com's experts immediately check that both images are the same person

5. If successful, you are given a unique stamp which you can upload onto any website (not just dating specific, e.g. Facebook, Twitter etc.)
