FrugalDate – Washington DC – Free Movie

Posted by Frugal Dater On February - 26 - 2010

MoviesOne of the most popular postings last year was the listings of all the free movies available around the country.  Although most cities haven’t released their schedule of free movies yet  (or if they’re even going to be able to do it again this year) we have found a series of free movies being put on by the National Geographic Society in Washington DC. Now since it’s being put on by National Geographic these won’t be films that you would usually see in major theaters but rather documentaries that are a little more insightful.

Top 10 out of the blue text messages

Posted by Frugal Dater On February - 16 - 2010

Just because Valentines day has come and past doesn’t mean that you should put away your cupid’s arrow.

The simple fact is that girls love compliments, for what ever reason. And compliments out of the blue can be a great way to build up some extra brownie points that you might just need later on.

Without you am just I’m simply blue

You’re Disqualified

Posted by Frugal Dater On February - 13 - 2010

sadEver notice in the game of online dating you just go long enough until you can find something that is a dealbreaker on your list?

Another thing to remember is to take 5 seconds to look at dating from the opposite sex’s perspective.

Experience of a Guy:
At the beginning you wrote long emails about how much you liked her pictures and profile, and how you’d be a great match. You’ve written an email and gotten a reply, so you write another message or two and then all the sudden – *poof* everything stops. You’ve hit some kind of disqualifier in your last message. What could it be?

Well there’s a good chance that you’ll never know because once the messages stop – they’re not likely to start again. Unless she was talking to multiple people at once and all the sudden you just suddenly became attractive again after someone else disqualified themselves.

Now there’s a set of qualifiers from a guy’s perspective as well – and a lot of times they start with the pictures:

If you’re not a single parent and there’s multiple pictures of kids then you’re 2 seater sports car isn’t going to fit family fun outings (Next)
The main profile pic has a close up shot of their favorite pet (or there’s solo pet shots) then there’s some lingering issues there
You can spot the crazy eyes right from her profile pic (don’t scoff – it’s a real thing).

Here’s a Quick Way to Get Your Email Responses Up

Posted by Frugal Dater On February - 10 - 2010

Guys, If you’ve ever seen a girl’s email box from an online dating site, it’s usually filled with … we’ll put it this way it’s usually filled.

It doesn’t even matter if she has a picture or not she’s getting responses and most are going to look something like this..

How did I take that snapshot? I simply made a fake account on one of the dating sites didn’t upload any picture and boom the mail just started flowing in. The thing about it is girls don’t even have to try and they’ll get their choice.
