A Teched-Out Valentine’s Day
Posted: 02/14/2012 by Singlefied in Dating, International Dating, Online Dating, TechnologyTags: ask miss singlefied, dating apps, dating in china, easy girls, singlefiedyue, weixin
Happy Valentine’s Day guys! Yay, another day reminding you that you’re single whether you like it or not. I am currently in Beijing working on a couple dating-related (and some just for fun) projects. The dating scene here is borderline absurd where men outnumber women 3:1 but expats know China to be a notorious easy lay. Who knew such a conservative culture on the outside would hide so much promiscuity underneath. Trust me, I could write a whole book on it (and I will). And if you’re a guy not getting enough ass in the US, you should come to China. But don’t expect “Me love you long time.” It’ll be more like, “Me love you tonight or until I find out you’re dirt ass poor.”
OK, back to Valentine’s Day. The topic of dating has become the most popular thing in China with hundreds of dating shows, matchmaking services, and online dating sites popping up by the second. In the past, people traditionally met by being introduced by family or co-workers. Now, young Chinese adults have taken on more non-traditional approaches to dating. One of which is through the most downloaded app in China called Weixin, available for Android and Apple.
This free app is available in English and Chinese and after downloading it for only 2 days, I’ve already decided that it is perfect for the single and bored. So the basic functions are:
- SMS anyone in your phonebook without using up your text message allowance
- Send instant audio messages (way better than voicemail)
- Send bulk messages
- Search for friends
- Find people within a 1000m radius through an advanced geo-location service
But here’s some of the kinky stuff you can do:
- Strike up a conversation with any of the strangers you find through the geo-location search. Everyone has a profile pic and a brief intro so you can weed out the uglies.
- The “Shake” (摇一摇)function asks you to shake your phone and if other people (strangers or friends) happen to shake their phone at the same time, you’re instantly connected and can initiate a conversation with each other. I was at a dinner where someone told me that her brother in Australia found his current girlfriend through this function. Apparently, Weixin has reached more than 100 million shakes a day, meaning over 100 million strangers are connecting daily.
- My favorite is the “Drift Bottle” function, which can be really quirky and naughty. You have two selections: 1) You write/record a message and “throw” it out into the cybersea, or 2) You pick up a random message and respond to the stranger if you choose to. It may seem innocent enough but last night while using this function, I thought I was in the middle of some weird cyber porno. I “threw” out the audio message “I love cake!” and got several replies along the lines of “Is it as yummy as you?” “I’ll eat it if it’s on you,” and the most forward, “I want to eat you.” Now I’m dating all 3 guys. (haha, j/k)
So there are 50 million Weixin users with the majority being between 22-30. It helps if you know Chinese but many of the users are non-Chinese and/or know English. But that may also be because I’m using it in China. How about you guys try it in the states and tell me who you find?
And just a word of caution from my friend PK: people always look better as a thumbnail. Make sure you ask for more pics before you meet up with these randos.

Exclusive Invite to Test Out New Singles Site: Sparkology.com

How many posts have I written about online dating? A million? And what are all these sites turning into? A virtual whorehouse of unemployed perverts lookin’ to pokey pokey. I’m all for online brothels (it’s efficient and clean!) but there comes a point when having meaningless sex is just…meaningless. My friend Dave recently told me that he believes sites like OkCupid and Match are taking the mystery out of dating. In his own words, “I can fuck a different girl every night of the week, but that’s because I can’t have a real conversation with any of them.”
So, if you’re still in your manslut stages, go the traditional online dating route. But if your penis has a taste for finer things, continue reading. I recently was approached by the founder of Sparkology.com. Keep in mind, I get bombarded with emails from these dating website startups that want me to review their site. Most of them I politely ignore but Sparkology really caught my attention. The site is not a dating site, it’s an online dating community for high-quality singles. There are four selling points for me in particular:
1) Men have to pay per message. This eliminates all of you trying to copy-and-paste mass messages, and it makes you really evaluate if you’re interested or not now that a dollar value is associated with it. On the flip side, because girls know that you paid to message us, it makes us actually want to read your message. Not to mention that it is totally flattering.
2) Invite-only. That’s pretty self-explanatory. Anytime you have an invite-only service, it creates a more exclusive environment and people tend to be more picky with whom they invite.
3) One-page profiles. I hate the nonsense of personality questions and other redundant profile topics. All the extra stuff should be left to in-person interactions. The whole goal is to date offline…right? I honestly don’t need to know how you would react if you saw a cat get hit by a truck.
4) They don’t want you to stay too long. Most sites offer long term incentives hoping you’d keep renewing your membership. That defeats the whole purpose of dating! Sparkology focuses on the short term and makes sure you get the most out of their service as soon as you join. They employ market-driven behavioral algorithms; meaning they analyze your real actions and interactions to learn who are the best candidates for you (like how Pandora finds you great music).
Sparkology is now exclusively inviting Singlefied readers to participate in the beta website, and after it is out of beta, you all get one month free. I am unable to publicly post the code, but if you’re interested in checking it out, contact me or tweet me @SinglefiedYue and I will email you the code! I just finished my profile yesterday and I gotta say, I dig the layout so far. Looking forward to all of your feedback on the site. ***There are no more codes to hand out as Beta phase is over. However, you can go through Singlefied’s special link to sign up for Sparkology and your application will be pushed to the front of the (VERY LONG) line!

CouchSurfing.org: More Like Bed Surfing
Posted: 08/17/2011 by Singlefied in Dating, Online Dating, Pick-Up StrategiesTags: couch surfer, couchsurfing.org, dating advice, dating questions, dating tips, hooking up with couch surfer, how to meet foreign girls, nontraditional online dating, singlefeed, singlefied, singlefiedyue, singlefield, yue xu dating coach
A couple days ago, I was meeting up with some friends at my local bar. One of the guys showed up with this hot young thing: long shiny hair, long luscious lashes, and long shapely legs. Plus, she was sweet and easy going, drinking beers like it was nobody’s business. I was proud and bewildered at the same time. “How do you two know each other?” I asked. “CouchSurfing.org,” they replied in unison. Apparently, she was on vacation from California and applied to be a couch surfer at his place in NYC. A hot girl who requests to go home with you? I’m sold.
What is CouchSurfing.org? It’s a non-profit organization that helps people find places to crash when they’re traveling; it also facilitates cultural immersion in foreign countries. Their vision statement: “A world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with the people and places they encounter.” It’s set up like a social networking site where there are Hosts and Couch Surfers. As a Couch Surfer, you can apply to Hosts who are available in the places you’re traveling to. As a Host, you profile your living situation and conditions and choose which Couch Surfers you’d like to host. Totally free for everyone involved.
Why should you use it? Besides all the connecting-with-people-from-different-cultures-resulting-in-lasting-friendships fluff, it’s a great way to meet new hotties:
As a Host: You get to meet babes in “vacation mode.” Studies show that people have more sex on vacations because they’re more carefree and horny when removed from their stale home environment. These girls are not only staying with you, they’re looking to you to show them a good time. There’s nothing sexier than a man taking charge and showing us his world. And the best part? Now you have someone to visit in another state or country (given that you were a good Host). *Disclaimer: I’m not saying you should expect to get sexy time with every hot couch surfer you host, but I am saying that the probability of hooking up is much higher than meeting a random at a bar.
As a Couch Surfer: You get to meet a chick you wouldn’t normally meet on vacation, and if she doesn’t float your boat, she can introduce you to the other hotties in her network. You can then invite all of them to visit you(r pants) next time they’re in town. Awww, what a nice guy you are.
So what happened to my guy friend who brought the long-legged hotness to the bar? Nothing. But it’s OK, because he just hooked up with his Ukrainian couch surfer. Ласкаво просимо в наше ліжко! (WTF does that mean?)
In the words of my friend KD, “happy crotchsurfing!”
Make sure you’re in top shape for your hot couch surfer! Singlefied.com recommends The Flex Belt, the only FDA-approved device proven to tighten, tone and strengthen your abs without crunches.
Miss Singlefied Does Online Dating: PROS and CONS
Posted: 08/05/2011 by Singlefied in Dating, Online DatingTags: dating advice, dating tips, improve online dating success, miss singlefied, online dating advice, online dating tips, singlefeed, singlefied, singlefiedyue, singlefield, yue xu dating coach
I spent the last couple of weeks escaping the NY heat in beautiful Los Angeles. During my time there, I decided to do a little online dating myself, since I keep blogging about it. I mean, I spend a lot of time evaluating people’s profiles, drafting messages, and hearing success/horror stories from girlfriends. But, it has been since 2003 that I actually did online dating myself. Some good ol’ ethnographic research was overdue!
Let me just say this: I think online dating is great for practice and for having a little casual fun. However, I advise everyone to view it as a “layover” to a real relationship. Here are some pros and cons:
PROS:
– It’s efficient so you don’t have to waste time at bars and clubs sorting through the “bad lemons.”
– It’s great practice (some of my clients go on 5 dates/week just to hone in their skills).
– All the cool kids are doing it. There’s no longer a stigma attached to online dating. It seems that everyone is on some site these days.
– It can be fun. Going “shopping” for a potential mate while buying toilet paper online is fucking awesome. That shit never happens offline.
CONS:
– It breeds “serial daters.” Online dating is addictive and once people start going on multiple dates, they get addicted to that idea.
– It makes you think there’s always something better. “What if I haven’t gone through all 600 matches and the best woman for me is the 589th match? I cant settle for match #56.”
– It makes you more insecure. Women are bombarded with emails and most guys don’t get the response they want. You guys have a better chance talking to a pretty girl in person (at a bar) than getting a response from her online.
– It doesn’t make people want to settle down. Online dating is like high school. The Freshman class is always changing so there’s always “fresh meat.”
– It takes the mystery out of organic dating. Before you meet someone in person, you already know so much about them that you’ve already formed your own opinion and judgment.
– It makes you overlook people you should be dating. The most important thing in a profile is the picture. Online daters tend to message the ones that are most attractive, not necessarily the ones that are in their league. In an offline situation, a man is able to evaluate whether a woman is approachable or not. He is also able to see his competition of men who are also talking to her. But in an online situation, it creates a fake atmosphere where people think everyone is on an even playing field. This is why a lot of men do not get the response they want!
– The curse of the buffet. Too many options doesn’t necessarily mean its a good thing. Many people get overwhelmed and confused by their abundance of choices. Eventually, the profiles start blending together and it’s hard to decipher who you really want to pursue.
So with that said, I want to introduce you to some winners I met (GUYS, IT’S REALLY NOT THAT HARD TO STAND OUT. YOUR COMPETITION SUCKS ASS):

Online Dating: It’s a Science.

I’ve been getting lots of questions about online dating lately, which makes perfect sense. Summer is prime online dating season. For those of you who’ve been online dating for a while, I’m sure you’ve noticed that the “inventory” in the summer is a lot better than in the winter. So, I thought now would be a good time to give you a compilation of all the tools you’ll need to be a successful online dater. And of course, if you need personalized help such as reviewing your profile, message drafting, etc, you can check out the services I offer.
1) Your profile pic: it’s the most important thing. I recently saw a guy whose profile picture was him playing beer pong. Dude, unless he’s the beer pong world champ, I can guarantee you no girl would ever click on his profile.
2) Try a niche online dating site. Some of the bigger online dating sites are just a clusterfuck of random chicks who you have nothing in common with (except they have vaginas, and you like vaginas). If you’re looking for a better response rate, it’s time to find your target audience. My favorite is still HowAboutWe.
3) Personalized and targeted messaging. Did you know the majority of your competition sends out general messages, such as “Hey, wanna chat?” No girl wants to respond to that. That’s what Live Links is for, dumbass. Like any good ad, you’ll get the best response rate if your messaging is personalized and targeted.
4) Don’t get carried away. I call it “The Curse of the Buffet.” Looking at too many choices is not always a good thing. Know when you’re getting out of hand with your online “shopping” and serial dating.
Remember, the key to dating online is to take it offline. If you find yourself spending more time sifting through profiles and IM’ing until 5am, you might as well be jerking off to porn. Much better use of your time.
