Dating Websites..Use Your Brain

People don't realize that the reason why dating web sites are so successful is because its all about psychology, playing with the mind. If someone tells you a certain site is successful at getting people married you automatically assume that it is true and that you will also find success because others have done so. Women especially are guilty for falling for this. My friend got married using Match.com so I will find marriage too is the thought of most women. The sites begin by asking you a series of questions and they use your answers to connect you with people who have answered the same or have similar answers as yours. After you answer the questions you will then receive pictures and profiles of men with similar interests and lifestyles as yours. Because the majority of people who use these sites lie, a person chosen for you may not be all he says he is. Women immediately start planning in their heads how their lives are going to end up if they meet the person of their dreams and that dream usually include marriage, children and a white picket fence. Just from a picture a woman will start planning their wedding just because the site says people they have chosen for you is good for you. If a million people join a site the chances of people meeting and getting married is high but how many is the question that people should ask. If you are placed in a room with 500,000 people the chances of you meeting someone with similar interests is high but it may only be 2 out of the 500,000 that will honestly be good for you. Because the site says these men are your match a person will get it in their head that this is true and immediately seek a relationship based on what a computer randomly chose for you.

We live in a time where people are tired of going to bars or are tired of leaving find love up to chance. Dating websites are convenient but you have to remember its a business and a business will use everything possible to sell you something and in this case its the chance of finding love.

If you are going to use the internet to meet a mate don't take it too seriously. If you decide to meet someone don't start planning your wedding on the first date. Meet someone have fun and choose wisely. Don't rush into anything because a computer, an inanimate object, chose a man/woman for you because chances are the person you are meeting really isn't who they say they are. Remember sites like Match.com are put together by psychologists so use your brain and not your heart when choosing a mate on a dating website.

The Best Portable Washing Machine

If you live in an apartment or have a college student who could have their own portable washing machine in their dorm The Haier Portable Washing Machine is the way to go. I have had my Haier washing machine for two years and I have never had a problem with it. Its small but very powerful, easy to conect to the sink, and easy to store. Because it is a small washer the amount of clothes you can wash is limited but I am able to wash a family of five clothes weekly with 2-3 loads. The machine can cost from 199.00 to 269.00 depending on the size. If you purchase it from Walmart you can buy an additional warranty for 20.00. Can you wash comforters in the machine? The answer is yes. A twin size flat comforter will wash in the machine but anything larger will not wash. I also purchased the Haier Portable Dryer and it is good but it could take up to an hour to dry the clothes. If you're not in a rush these two are a perfect combination.

It use to cost me over 50.00 a week to wash and dry my clothes in a laundrymat.No longer do I have to go outside and wash my clothes with other strangers who use the same machine. God only knows what people have whom you share the same machine with and I can honestly say my public service bill only went up 40.00 (electric and water together) since I purchased both products which means I saved myself 160.00 a month on washing and drying my clothes which is a bargain. Just think in most apartments you dont have to pay for water. Also you can purchase a dryer vent if you dont have an outside vent for an additional 11.00 - 31.00 if your town is strict on dryer usage.

If you purchase this product you cannot go wrong.

What is the Purpose of Robert Herjavec on Shark Tank?

Shark Tank is a show on ABC where entrepreneurs go to get money from millionaire and billionaire potential investors. The investors on the show are Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks, Daymond John of FUBU,  Kevin O'Leary, Barbara Concoron , Robert Herjavec and Lori Greiner of QVC.

Robert Herjavec is the meakest of all the sharks. If he was a real shark he would be a Nurse Shark which eats algae unlike the other sharks who are there to invest. Robert was on the Canadian version of the show called Dragon's Den along with Kevin O'Leary.  He sits on the end along with the other sharks and barely invests. If he invests its usually along with another shark or for a very high percentage. The only time I saw him invest foolishly was with this college girl for soap she invented in her college dorm. There was no way this was going to become a multimillion idea but Robert invested because he had the hots for this blonde head college student. The whole time she spoke he grinned from ear to ear like a teenage in love and the next thing I heard was "I will invest" and I was in shock. Obviously he is rich from barely spending a dime because he is the cheapest shark on the show. It makes me think he is just a rich man with nothing else to do. Although he doesnt usually invest he is the shark with the most to say which is annoying. Robert is usually the first one of the sharks to question the entrepreneurs and sometimes his questions are so stupid that you wish the entrepreneurs would say "if your not going to invest please stop with the questions." because that is what I think everytime I see his face on my 55 inch tv screen. A couple of shows ago after a couple was speaking Robert began with his endless questioning about how the couple met and how cute they looked together and finally...finally...the heavens opened and Mark Cuban asked him in not too many words why does he ask those questions that have nothing to do with why they are there. "A BOLDER ROLLING DOWN HILL CANNOT BE STOPPED" are one of his many meaningless words of wisdom. "ITS HARD TO STOP A BOLDER". Please shut up Robert. Go home with your young wife and children and leave investing to the real investers that really want to be there.
