Perfectmatch.com and Superman Returns

Leave a Comment  

Superman Returns flew into theatres on 6/28/06, and so did Perfectmatch.com, the online dating service. By integrating itself with the 2006 Summer movie blockbusters, Superman Returns, starring Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth, and The Break-Up, with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, Perfectmatch.com will definitely earn further name recognition among the masses.

As we have seen in the past, Perfectmatch.com, which has over three million members worldwide, has a penchant (and a 10 million dollar yearly advertising budget) for teaming up with Hollywood to get the word out about it’s dating service. In addition to being mentioned in films like Must Love Dogs and Failure to Launch, Perfectmatch also recently signed a deal with the Lifetime cable network to appear in Lovespring International, a 13 week comedy series about a dysfunctional dating service. And no, Perfectmatch.com is not the dysfunctional service.

We found Perfectmatch.com an interesting dating service with a decent database and great search options. If you have used Perfectmatch.com, help other single Christians by sharing your thoughts.

Thirty-Something Singles Online Dating

1 Comment  

In the late 80’s Newsweek reported that thirty-something single women had at best, only a 20% chance of getting married. I can’t tell you how many of my single women friends got depressed over this prediction. Now, 20 years later Newsweek finally told singles and the world that the findings on thirty-something dating and marriage was inaccurate. Why? The older research was based in part on faulty conjectures on how many available thirty-something plus singles there are (50 million in the US alone) and how they meet each other.

Of course, anyone familar with online dating and singles demographics knew the Newsweek report was bogus. Yet, in all fairness Newsweek could not have possibly accounted for the rapid rise in online dating among singles over thirty because the mainstream Internet was not even around at the time of the original article.

Over Thirty Singles and Online Dating

To the surprise of many, while twenty-somethings make up the largest singles dating pool, more than half (54%) of all online dating occurs between singles who are over thirty years old. Since the online dating industry garnered over 500 million dollars in 2005, that means there’s a whole lot of dating going on between thirty-somethings, forty-somethings and fifty-somethings.

Not wanting to miss out on this booming niche market, many online dating services have have created separate dating sites catering to over thirty singles. The top-selling online dating services that Christian singles over 30 use are eHarmony Dating Service and  Christian Mingle because they have huge databases for over thirty daters.

Good Christian Dating Relationship Signs

7 Comments  

What are some signs of a good Christian dating relationship? What qualities would you look for in the “right one” for you as a Christian single? Generally, the following list of signs should be present in your Christian dating partner if you are considering a lifelong commitment in marriage.

Good Christian Dating Relationships

• Your dating interest (we assume he or she is a Christian) is growing more and more in love with Jesus. Just as important, he/she has not caused you to stumble sexually, but has also had a positive spiritual influence on you.

• He or she has a good sense of humor. Why is this important? Life is full of valleys and tribulations, but a good sense of humor will help keep things in perspective. People who can see humor in their circumstances generally have a cheerful outlook on life, which is very important to a successful relationship. Proverbs 17:22 states “A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”

• He or she respects your feelings, needs, interests and dreams. They are not “control freaks” or overly possessive, but give you the personal space to succeed by being your own person.

• He or she is able to converse and be vulnerable with you. This means being able to be intimate and communicate on the heart level. They can honestly share true feelings, whether they be positive or negative.

• Your guy or gal possesses good conflict resolution skills, and knows how to argue constructively.

• Your dating partner has loving relationships with their family members and friends. Watch how they treat those closest to them, beacause this is how they will most likely begin treating you.

• Your single friend is financially stable. This does not mean they need to be a millionaire, but they should be able to support themselves.

• Your dating partner is “over” their past dating relationship. If they are constantly bringing up the “ex”, you can assume this is not the case.

• They take care of themselves physically and emotionally.

• They have a good relationship with your parents and friends. Note: If your parents and closest Christian friends feel something is wrong with the dating relationship, proceed with great caution.

Of course, the above is not an exhaustive list of good signs to look for in your Christian dating relationship partner. If you can think of any other positive dating relationship qualities, please consider helping other singles by sharing your views.
