What's more important than your photo in your online dating profile?

According to recent research regarding online dating, your profile pic is not the most important element of your online bio. A review of 4000 studies suggests that you might want to put a little more effort into your screen name, as it is just as important as the photo itself. If you're looking to craft an attractive screen name, consider these findings based on a review of 4000 studies:

  • Avoid using names that include words that might have negative associations like "little" or "bug".
  • Consider the gender of the person you're trying to attract. Men tend to be drawn to names that imply physical attractiveness (e.g. cute) and women are drawn to names that suggest intelligence.
  • When crafting your headline message, keep it brief and avoid complex language. Readers are more likely to be drawn to words that are easy to remember and pronounce.

Swinging Advice from the Cast of Playboy TV's "Swing" Part 1

expert advice Jul 20, 2015

This post is brought to you by Desire Resorts.

As the host of PlayboyTV’s Swing, I have the unique and humbling experience of working with couples who are willing to share the most intimate details of their relationships. The cast of the show is comprised of couples from all corners of the country who take a non-traditional approach to happily ever after: they identify as Swingers who open their relationships up to consensual extramarital sexual encounters. Though couples who swing face their regular share of challenges (every marriage is hard work!), many believe that the communication and openness required to navigate the Lifestyle deepens their connection, intensifies intimacy and leads to a lasting erotic connection. Swinging certainly isn’t for everyone, but almost everyone is intrigued by this alternative arrangement and I receive hundreds of questions related to the lifestyle every year. Since the cast of PlayboyTV’s Swing is comprised of experienced...

How can you improve communication with your partner (and others) in the lifestyle?

Nikki and Daniel (pictured left): Use swinger vocabulary to explore ideas, but don't try to conform your relationship to that vocabulary. Explore the lifestyle at your own pace and according to the values you hold in your relationship.

Swinger Vocabulary includes the full spectrum of "Swapping", from Soft, Girl/Girl Only to Full, Completely Open.

In almost all instances of asking someone what they consider Completely Open, I hear everything from “totally open” as long as they are under the same roof to solo play dates (with or without specific rules governing those solo play dates).

Using those terms as goals or check marks or specific milestones to achieve is the sure way to undervalue the unique dynamics of your relationship.

Additionally, many swinger (or monogamish) vocabulary terms may be controversial in certain circles. In some circles,...
