The result of last weeks poll is that 66% of you would rather go out with someone shy and quiet rather than someone loud and outgoing. So being the life and soul of the party might get you plenty of attention and friendships but it won't help you in the dating game. Being quiet and mysterious it seems is far more appealing to the opposite sex. So if you're the loud outgoing type try dumbing down a bit and see what happens!
Congratulations to JPD who won the best comment last week for her observations on dilating pupils!

According to last weeks poll the feature most attracitve to our members is the eyes - 41% of you voted that eyes were the no. 1 feature with Smile coming in 2nd with 21% and the face at 18%.

The eyes, of course, are said to be the windows of the soul, and with good reason. Look into them and you'll soon know if attraction is mutual. Eye contact lasts longer and the eyes are more aflame if you find someone attractive. The reason pupils dilate is because of adrenilin which is caused by either excitment or fear! Better hope it's the former:-)

A psychologist called Neisser found that when shown two pictures of the same woman, with the pupils artificially dilated in one picture, people rated the doctored version of the woman as more attractive - without being able to say why. So, if your heart jumps into your mouth when you spot someone you fancy, smile in the knowledge that the adrenaline making you weak at the knees is also helping you look your best.

While trawling through the numerous sites about online Dating, I came across an article about how successful online dating really is. It is estimated that online dating is responsible for 120,000 weddings a year! And 20 million people use dating sites every month.

According to the article the more honest and open you are in your profile and communication on the site the more chance there is of the relationship being a success. Also the longer couples communicate through a site before meeting the better the first encounter is.

So there you have it, perfect fairy tale endings - I'm delighted that MaybeFriends.com is playing its part in contributing to the 120,000 weddings a year.
