Several months ago, I had posted the first two videos from Dentyne called The Single Life. I thought the videos were great and captured a lot of the real humor that happens behind-the-screens with online dating.
Well, somehow I lost track of these but a reader contacted me and let me know that the final two videos are up. Well, once again, I love the videos. There’s a lot of humor…and a lot of truth in them. Hope you enjoy them [...]

Dentyne (that’s right, the gum people) have created a new video series called The Single Life that is a funny look at online dating. In the first episode, included below, we are shown two singles creating their dating profiles and a lot of humor (and truth) are shown:

It seems to me that dating commercials in the UK are far superior to those in the US. Here in the States most of our commercials are either couples talking or black-and-white commercials of a single person sitting or laying and occasionally laughing (and I’m not sure what the point is to these commercials, to be honest). I get the feeling I’m not the only one because I am having a hard time even finding the US commercials online! [...]

Apparently, if you’re not finding enough dates all you need to do is learn some magic! At least according to this guy from the 80s (or maybe 90s?). I thought this video was pretty funny:

Just for fun, here’s a post over at GameSpy that supposes what things would look like if video game characters had dating profile. You’ll have to be familiar with video games to appreciate these but I found them pretty amusing. I particularly like Luigi’s response to “Do You Want Children”:
Apparently this idea is becoming popular as GamesRadar also has some video game dating profiles in the post If game characters used dating sites. They then opened the idea to their [...]

Funny or Die has a hilarious parody of speed dating. Not sure how they decided on Werner Herzog (whom I wasn’t familiar with) and Bjork but I thought it was great.

I found this image and thought it was great. I suppose many readers may not get this…but then again when World of Warcraft has millions of subscribers I guess more than a few will get it. This one may ring a little too true for some of us! Having an MMO background (played Everquest for years starting at its launch and it still has a warm place in my heart), I can totally understand this. Some of these games are [...]

While researching other dating sites, I stumbled upon PoorMatch.com. At first glance I thought I must be reading something wrong…but then I realized it was a big online dating parody. A really, really funny parody at that (we’re talking The Onion kind of funny). If you’re frustrated due to online dating, check out Poor Match for a few laughs to lighten the mood. Every page has great jokes, some that are harder to spot than others.
A few of my favorites [...]
