Furthermore, it has been shown that people develop higher standards on dating websites due to a perceived increase of offering. Both guys and gals look for a match on average &quot;25% hotter than they are themselves&quot;. <br /> <br /> I&#039;d like to highlight that dating is very much like entrepreneurship: if you are a quality person (in shape both physically and mentally) offering value (mainly good emotions) to people around you, more people get attracted to you. To succeed at online dating, you need to convey that value both through pics and texts. And that&#039;s when most people fail. They have crappy pics, and can&#039;t think of something else to say besides &quot;hi, how are you?&quot; <br /> <br /> Value providing = people responding.</div>

I&#039;m thinking it matches people based on visual symmetry and relative attractiveness. If your a 7 it matches you up with 6-7-8s. Visual symmetry is easily measured whereas personality is much more complex.

<div class="bbWrapper">Went out to do some filming today for my biz (some YT/IG content)<br /> <br /> Had a person told me to **** off and several other people saying hi / thanks etc (I&#039;m doing a positive thing for the community)<br /> <br /> Kinda funny, my experience in the world has led me to believe there are tons of cruel evil people everywhere, someone called the Police on me and had 2 cars show up &amp; 3 people with guns, not that I mind the cops doing their job as they are obliged to, but I think its quite sad people resort to just omg call the cops on someone. I do get the benefit of free marketing as Police show up (awesome content &amp; cool pictures) but geez louise!<br /> <br /> I put a ton of smiles on dozens of strangers faces today and was thanked and told I&#039;m doing a great thing, whenever I go out filming MJ is always with me in the form of TMF Audibook on my Iphone which makes it even more fun and drives me to keep going. <br /> <br /> Not to cause a ruckus, which I do enjoy doing, I&#039;ll always flip my camera away from cop encounters not to rile them up, but its old to be harassed by the local police force, whilst I request assistance from them (some of my filming content is related to break ins around my area) We have homeless people breaking into people&#039;s cars and whatnot. <br /> <br /> Maybe I&#039;ll go have a chat with the chief or something, but yeh... old miserable Karens these days, It&#039;s always old white women that have a problem with everything. Fun little rant, enjoy your day!</div>

To me, the greatest advantage is the diversity: it is not only a ski station, but also a small city, highly internationally driven (meaning, it&#039;s not really local anymore) and close to many things: Greece, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, you have three airports in the area (Sofia, Nis, Skopje, maybe Thessalonik), you can easily go to Kosovo to drink the best coffee in the world; to Serbia for the cheapest meat in Europe; to Bosnia for the best ice-cream ever! The Balkans are truly amazing, there is a densed number of different cultures, foods, languages. We shouldn&#039;t forget that the area is the crib of our civilization (Greek philosophy and democracy).<br /> <br /> About the snow, global warming is a worldwide problem, but it just means that you&#039;ll be able to ski less during the year.<br /> <br /> There aren&#039;t many downsides, except maybe for the fact that the area is at the heart of important political and security issues, but I do not believe this creates significant direct problems for inhabitants, more for politicians.</div>
