There is an online dating site for everyone: the pot-lovers, the cat-lovers, the God-lovers … and now there’s one for the self-lovers. Thank goodness! Now beautiful people who simply cannot be bothered with the disgusting, hideous trolls who use typical dating sites have their own niche site. BeautifulPeople.com is “an exclusively beautiful community,” described as “an elite online club, where every member works the door.”
Here’s how it works: everyone is welcome to sign up to become a member, but once you have submitted your picture, the beautiful …

How to Look Good on Web Cam

Whether you have a long-distance boyfriend or you’re just into kinky tech stuff (we are!!), video chatting can put a fun spark in your relationship. It’s fun! It feels like The Jetsons! Who doesn’t want to try it!? So you do … and then see your pale face, dark-circled eyes, frizzy hair, and distorted voice and vow to never do it again.
But have no fear. You just need to set the scene!
First, the camera angle is everything. Put the camera in the wrong spot and you could …

Getting a Professional Profile Picture: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Who doesn’t have a million profiles? Every time you do anything – from reviewing a restaurant to applying for a job – you’re invited to create a user profile and upload a picture. That little thumbnail is what represents you to the virtual world, so it better be good. Should you call in the professionals?
Estee Lauder seems to think so. The brand is now hosting events where their pros give you a complimentary makeup application, take your photo, and help you post it online. They call it “putting …

Anyone ready to enter the world of blind internet dating has a plethora of sites to choose from. But if you choose to avoid one of the more obscure niche sites, there’s a good chance you’re going to go with one of the heavy hitters: Match or eHarmony. Both have frequent TV ads and both seem legit … so, how to choose?
According to experienced online daters, “Match.com is for booty calls and eHarmony is for those looking for love.” Hmmmm. Well, if that were true, it would probably make your …

Are You Ready to Make a Sex Tape?

In the past few years, it seems every famous B-lister has had a sex tape “leak” on the internet. And just like watching Food Network makes you want to become a top chef, seeing enough grainy shots of a celebrity bow-chicka-wow-wow can be enough to make you say, “Hey! I could do that!” But you need to have a serious conversation with yourself before you start picking your porn name.
First, watch some real porn, preferably with a partner around. You need to be comfortable with the whole watching-people-have-sex-on-camera …

What to Write on a Girl’s Facebook Wall to Make Her Want You

I’m sure there are a lot of legitimate uses for the Facebook Wall, but in my book the only one that matters starts with “getting” and ends with “some.” You can pretend otherwise, but when a guy writes on a girl’s Wall, it’s usually because he’s trying to get something wet. Unfortunately, most guys just don’t know what to say. Well, they know what they want to say, but since “Nice pic, wanna f*ck?” is not socially acceptable, they need to know how to say something that implies that, but …

Take Your Texting to the Next Level

It’s always so exciting when you meet a new guy and exchange numbers. He’ll usually text you the same night, just saying it was good to have met you, and you’re in the cab, feeling quite euphoric. You text back, he responds the next morning, and so on and so forth. All week at work, you get a little grin when your phone goes off with another flirty text from him.
But by the next weekend, you might still be grounded in Text City, when you really want to …
