| Sometimes
it's hard to be a (Kiwi) Woman... Here's a worrying statistic for
young, single Kiwi women. Did you know that due
to the massive exodus of young Kiwi men from New
Zealand over the last 25 years (sometimes called
'the brain drain'), there are now over
20,000 more females than males in the 30
to 39 age group in New Zealand?
That's great news for single Kiwi males in that
age group but terrible news for thirtysomething
Kiwi women looking for an eligible Kiwi
bachelor... As the classic Country song
immortalised a second time by The Blues
Brothers goes, "sometimes it's hard to
be a woman..."
But there's no need to despair, ladies. There is
very good news and there is still hope for
meeting 'Mr. Right', right here in New Zealand.
It's surprisingly easy, quick and it doesn't cost
a cent!
Males still outnumber females more than 2 to 1 in
the thirtysomething age group at NZFriendFinder.com Now that
helps to even the scales a bit for we Kiwi women,
eh?
Better still, at NZFriendFinder it's FREE to Post Your Profile and
introduce yourself to all those eligible Kiwi men
out there. And it's FREE to connect with interesting people.
Says NZFriendFinder
spokeswoman Julie Fairley, "More and
more intelligent, educated single New Zealand
women are discovering that using a free online
friendship service like NZFriendFinder really
does make good sense. Whereas a few years ago
couples who met online might have joked that they
would have to tell their friends and relatives
that they met at a bar or a nightclub, these days
the coin has flipped the other way. Meeting
through a popular free online service like
NZFriendFinder is now considered to be the
smarter and more respectable option. Most of us
knows some great couples who met that way.
Bar-hopping is the less respectable-sounding way
to meet potential partners now. Not to mention
that meeting a stranger in a bar or a nightclub
is a more potentially dangerous way for a single
woman to meet new people. The fact is, New
Zealand women these days have important careers
and busy lifestyles. For these smart, successful
(and paradoxically still single) women, a
free, professional service like NZFriendFinder really
is a godsend. It's a New Zealand service whose
time has come, and I'm proud to be a part of it."
Internet dating is achieving wild popularity
amongst net-wise singles here in New Zealand and
worldwide. And for good reason. Placing a personal ad is free,
requires little effort and quickly yields
numerous responses. Ladies, prepare to be deluged
with potential suitors! Guys-remember there's
20,000 more single ladies here in NZ than there
are single guys. Either way, male or female, you
can't lose by placing a free anonymous Profile at
NZFriendFinder.
There
are literally millions of singles seeking
partners via the Net. If you are able to travel
the planet freely in search of your soulmate, you
may choose to conduct a global search. You may
also spend MONTHS reading all those ads! Or, you
can restrict your search to your hometown and
meet someone in person sooner. Do you want to
meet a tall dark and handsome doctor in Remuera,
Auckland New Zealand? PlugIn your Preferences and start perusing those
photos! Too restrictive and you limit your
options. Thirty-five year old, Jamaican
astronauts in Queenstown are difficult to locate,
full stop. Perhaps you'll find a thirtysomething
Olympic bobsledteam member there instead. It
doesn't hurt to look!
One
advantage to Registering with NZFriendFinder is the opportunity to learn
much about a person before meeting face-to-face.
How do they present themselves in writing? Is he
articulate, interesting, charming, knowledgeable
and courteous? Does she sound as lovely as she
looks? Deep, intimate and lasting friendships may
be formed when mind-to-mind, heart-to-heart and
soul-to-soul connections are established before
meeting in person.
If a
man e-mails you volumes of heartfelt prose and
poetry everyday for two or three months, chances
are he's interested in more than a casual affair.
He may also be unemployed with too much
unproductive time on his hands, or be afraid of
making a more concrete connection. Ask questions
and trust your intuition. Written exchange also
allows you to 'look before you leap' into the
physical realm and may limit the possibility of
proceeding with haste when lust overwhelms
rational thought.
Pictures
are worth a thousand words. Add a Photo and/or a voice sample
and get noticed! Many members use the 'photos only'
option to search, and your ad may be overlooked
by Mr. or Ms. Right if your picture is not on
file. You may upload a photo, or mail it in for
scanning. Either option is free. He'll want to
know what you look like, and better that he finds
out sooner than later that you truly are as
gorgeous as you say. If she's a mountain-biking,
rock-climbing, ski-racing athlete looking for
same, she won't waste your time and encourage
disappointment when she sees you are a member of
the 'high-cholesterol
eat-three-large-pizzas-a-day' gourmet club. You
WILL attract the lady who wants to join your club
though! Be proud of who you are and show
yourself!
Sounds
easy, right? It is, but there are a few things to
consider before rushing off to place your ad.
Demographic polls indicate that men significantly
outnumber women online. Men's ads should be
written to stand out amongst the competition and
get attention! Women's ads must specify qualities
and attributes sought, or risk generating more
mail than there is time in a day to read, let
alone time to respond to. Read 'How to Write
Effective Personal Ads and Email' for men and for women to get responses and meet
the person of your dreams sooner.
