A new study from the US suggests that the more people think their partner is capable of change, and perceive that they are trying to improve, the more secure and happy they will feel in their relationships. The study showed that if you don’t believe that your partner is capable of changing his or her fundamental characteristics, even when he or she is working hard to try to improve your relationship, you can actually end up discounting any effort they do make.
Many dating sites make a big thing of “compatibility” – that is, how well suited, or otherwise, one person is to another. In fact, it’s an idea that’s absolutely central to the way several sites operate, not allowing you to even register unless you have completed some kind of “compatibility questionnaire”. But this raises some interesting questions – how useful are such measures, and are they really the way to judge whether someone is a potential partner or not? What happened to relying on good, old-fashioned “chemistry”?
As far as we know, Tfor2.com is the only dating site out there that operates on a PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) basis, rather than subscriptions. This offers our members a number of significant advantages, which we explain fully on the site (see Why Join? on our main page) as well as on a previous Blog post. One of these advantages – more subtle than some, but still very real and reassuring to members – is the fact that the system all but eliminates certain types of “scam”, designed to extract your hard-earned cash from you.

It’s well known that biological evolution plays a big part in how men and women react and relate with each other today. In fact, if you want your relationship to be a success, there are worse things you can do than take lessons from how we behaved 5,000 years ago. By adapting how we behaved then, to how we should behave now, you can make a real difference to your chances of long-term success in the mating game. Here, for example, are five tips for men*, based on the behaviour of their ancestors.
You may have suspected that physical contact plays a big part in human relationships, but – according to recent research by a Swedish team – it seems to play a bigger part than most of us thought. As it turns out, touch is so important that it can make us take a more favourable view of someone who has touched us even slightly – even if we don’t remember the incident. In fact, the research shows that touching is such a powerful influence that even watching someone being touched can cause the same reaction as if we were touched ourselves.

There are a lot of dating websites out there. And, although they are all free to join, most of them charge members for using features such as sending or replying to emails. The amount they charge, of course, varies from site to site, but almost all of them have one thing in common – they use the idea of a subscription as the basis of their payment model . Now, though, there are signs that things are changing – one or two more progressive and value-conscious sites are taking a different approach.
Although Tfor2.com is new on the dating site scene, it’s already attracting positive reviews. And one reviewing site that has given a particularly favourable assessment is www.thedatingsiteguide.co.uk – which has placed us a flattering fifth in its list of online dating chart-toppers.

There’s lots of dating websites out there apart from Tfor2.com. And most are completely honest in the way that they deal with their members. Others aren’t quite so honest. These sites, not to put too fine a point on things, get up to tricks, in an attempt to squeeze the hard-earned out of the public. Which sites are they? Well, no names, no packdrill – suffice it to say that there’s quite a few of them around, though none of the sites we’ve mentioned in our previous blog entries are, as far as we’re aware, on the list.
So, what tricks do they get up to? Ah, now that’s a different story – we’re quite happy to mention these! There’s quite a few of these “techniques” – the following three are just the most common.
We ended the previous blog entry with the observation that niche sites tend to have small memberships. Which is true. Or, at least, it used to be true. Today, there’s a growing number of niche sites which claim – legitimately – to have very large memberships. And if you’re thinking that there’s a contradiction here (how can a site which, by definition, is designed for a relatively small number of people have a very large membership?), you’re right, there is. But there’s a simple answer. And it’s called White Label Dating.
In some ways, perhaps, it’s a little odd to be blogging about our competition. After all, to do so merely draws attention to them – something of a marketing no-no, you’d think. On the other hand, though, pretending they don’t exist won’t make them go away, and we wouldn’t want them to. After all, as in any other marketplace, competition is generally a good thing, keeping Tfor2.com on its toes and ensuring high standards by giving you a choice. Besides, it’s a better-than-evens bet that you’re familiar with many – or even most – of the other dating sites out there, so we’re hardly giving away any state secrets.
