Communication | Why Did You Create An Online Dating Profile ? I created an online dating profile to meet new people and to jump-start my dating life. I moved to a new city after college and prior to posting online, I struggled to find men that I was interested in dating. As is the case for many young professionals, there's scant opportunity to meet the right person unless you have a vast social network, so my profile was meant to expand my search wider and include people I wouldn't meet in my everyday travels between work at a very small company, the gym, and my grad school classes. The internet provided an efficient &convenient way.

This book is a must have if you are even thinking about online dating. Covering every detail of online dating from safety, to summarizing the major online services, to special niche websites, this book is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about online dating.
There is a chapter for the most widely available online dating services. Every service has its own chapter. A comprehensive, objective review of each dating service is given. This review covers company background, legal actions, screen shots, pro's and con's of using the service, fees, and more. This handbook of online dating services should be required reading for everyone looking into dating services on the internet.
Another topic that the author delves into is online safety. Although you may be anonymous online, there are still safety issues that need to be considered. This book gives you a good baseline on how to protect your personal safety and privacy.
Finally, there is a list of niche websites that have very specialized dating services. For instance, there is mention of an online dating service for individuals with disabilities. The websites are given and there is some general information listed so that you can make an informed decision.
Overall, this is truly a comprehensive guide to online dating. It is worth a place in everyone's library.

Chemistry and Numbers " The Online Dating Guide" was a joy to read, it talks about why a person would create an online dating profile to begin with. Pointing out the significance as being networking opportunities. This is not only an interesting factor, but very true. Online Dating sites give you the opportunity to meet people that you otherwise would not have any access to meeting. Chemistry and Numbers also includes a lot of information about the online dating scene.
The Online Dating Guide explains about picking and choosing criteria, along with the choice of certain characteristics that you are looking for. Chemistry and Numbers closes the book with names of Online Dating websites, and explains about each one giving you quick facts, which are good for those people who are interested in online dating but are not sure where to begin, so you can choose which site you would like to join.
One of my favorite parts of the book was the "Tips for Online Dating" section, that included things such as not being discouraged, how to consider looking for multiple singles, considering your profile as a resume, and so many more tips that can be beneficial and help you with Online Dating. Chemistry and Numbers Online dating Guide also talks about the importance of staying safe while online dating.
I would recommend Chemistry and Number "The Online Dating Guide" to anyone who is interested in Online Dating, the book gives you information on a variety of online dating topics and will help answer some or all of the questions you may have. This book also provides great tips to ensure that you have an enjoyable and safe time while Online Dating.

A Great Find December 11, 2006

Chemistry and Numbers: The Online Dating Guide is a breath of fresh air! With some of the other online dating guides I've read, I wanted to fall asleep before I even got off the first page.
Chemistry and Numbers helped me see the benefits that do exist in online dating. Although I'd always worried about the safety of online dating, Chemistry and Numbers gave me some very practical and useful tips for having a great time while staying safe.
In addition to safety tips, I also found the information on various online dating agencies to be very helpful. This part of the book helped me figure out which agnecy would likely help me the most. Since everybody is different, I needed some clarification on which agency would give me the best shot at finding a date online.
I would absolutely recommend this book to someone who is interested in finding an online dating service or even striking out on your own. You will find tons of valuable information to help you get started on the right foot.
Excellent Online Dating guide... December 12, 2006

Steve Monas has come up with one of the finest online dating guides I have ever seen in this offering. It has an extremely comprehensive overview of all (most at least) of the online dating sites. He takes you step by step through the registration process with screenshots - impressive for any newcomer, or old hand even...
Online dating has become big business. Perhaps the main reason can be summed up in a quote from Steve's book: "You meet people online that you normally don't meet on the streets." And it's safe too, when you know what you're doing. And if you don't know what you're doing, get Steve Monas' book! It doesn't have an abundance of text - mainly "how to" screenshots. But I feel that definitely adds to this book's charm.
The Essential Guide For Every Singleton! December 10, 2006

Online dating has been one of the major growth industries of the past few years. Fewer and fewer people are going out to meet potential partners. Instead, they can browse through website after website looking for their perfect match. However, the problem is knowing where to begin. There are hundreds of sites to choose from and no real way of finding out which one? Or is there?
Steve Monas's book "Chemistry and Numbers: The Online Dating Guide" solves every problem you may ever have with online dating by taking you through everything you need to know step by step in language even a complete idiot can understand. He offers great advice on every aspect of online dating from what to expect, to the type of photo to upload, to how to register your profile on the various sites. It is the definitive guide to online dating and is an absolute must have for anyone even contemplating entering the Internet dating arena.
Monas begins the book with the essential `need to knows' of online dating. He provides comprehensive pointers that cover safety, which is always good to know. Without letting on too much about the book, you have to read it because it includes things that you may not even think of before speaking to potential dates. I guess it is mainly common sense, but I have to say I did not think of half of the tips he gives. Other areas he covers are tips regarding what to expect and how to choose a photo. To make the most out of an online dating subscription you HAVE to read this, otherwise it will be money down the drain. One thing I love about these sections is that Monas makes you feel like a human. He refutes the image of Internet daters as freaks that can't date through normal means. He acknowledges the fact that some of us do not have the time to go out and meet people in bars and points out that dating sites' success rates are higher than singles who choose to meet others in that way. He makes us feel normal, which is always reassuring as well as the truth!
Monas's book is well worth a read for the millions of us who lack the time to date by conventional and accepted means. Dating websites save us time and money, but so will this book. I highly recommend this book because I cannot find fault with it in any way, shape or form. It offers an insight that no other publication does and is the essential companion to 21st Century dating. The question is, can you afford not to purchase it?
