These days, it isn’t uncommon for people to find their perfect match online. But just because you’re putting yourself out there and looking for love on the internet doesn’t mean you’ll get results easily. Instead, implementing the right strategies can help ensure you’ll successfully find love.
Start by Choosing the Right Dating App for Your Location
With so many dating websites and apps available, selecting the one you’ll use can quickly become a tedious process. One way to figure out which app is right for you is by considering the type of people who are already on a particular platform. And you also want to be sure you’ll be able to connect with people who are local, rather than in faraway places because you’ll eventually want to meet in person if things go well.
With the right app, you can view local girls: meetville.com/catalog/us/woman who are nearby, making it easier to connect for an in-person date when you’re ready to take your relationship to the next level.
Don’t Be Afraid to Make the First Move
Another way to increase the odds of finding love online is by releasing any fear you might have, especially when it comes to making the first move. If you’re constantly waiting for other people to send the first message, you might not get the results you want.
So, if you see someone who seems nice while looking through your potential matches on a dating app, and it appears that you have some things in common, go ahead and send them a friendly message to start a conversation.
Be Authentic
No one likes dealing with fake people. Unfortunately, a lot of people lie about themselves in an attempt to look great on a dating app. Just keep in mind that the truth will ultimately come out, and it won’t look good when your partner finds out that you were dishonest at the start of your relationship.
When setting up your profile, be honest about what you’re looking for in a partner, and be honest about who you are. Use photos that accurately portray what you look like (avoid the use of filters!), and be authentic during your one-on-one conversations too.
Have Fun!
Looking for love shouldn’t be a chore; instead, it should be an opportunity to connect with amazing people. You never know what will happen!
Something very interesting happens in New York City every morning. Thousands of affluent professionals, many of whom are wealthy executives, ride their bicycles to work. Despite the fact that they could easily afford to drive a Bentley, they actuallychoose to ride a bike. What exactly is going on here?
Well, daily commuting in New York City can be challenging, tiresome, and even dangerous in some situations. The fact is, many wise business people have realized that riding a bike is the most reliable and efficient way to get to work. You can search for the best commuter bikes recommended by Pedallers
Cycling vs Other Commuting Methods
There are so many factors that make almost every form of transportation a hassle in NYC. However, after a brief comparison of the perils involved with each, you’ll find that cycling is generally the most reliable and preferable, particularly in scenarios that involve typical commuting distances of less than 5 miles. Here’s a rundown of cycling versus other commuting methods:
Bike vs Personal Vehicle – If you choose to drive your own car, then you have to contend with the absurdly crowded traffic, inflated NYC gas prices, and extreme parking difficulty in many places. Cycling might seem physically difficult, but many commuters have started using electric bicycles like these EMOJO bikes to reduce or eliminate the burden of pedaling. So, in a way, it’s sort of like a one-person, slow-moving automobile that can go more places than a vehicle can.
Bike vs Public Transportation – If you opt for public transportation, you have to deal with unexpected delays, crowding, a complete lack of privacy and the possibility of sitting next to an odorous derelict, violent criminal, or anyone else that fate happens to throw your way. You don’t have to share your bike with other passengers and conform to routes & schedules.
Bike vs Taxi or Rideshare Cab – Taxi cabs and rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are options, but then you’re dependent on the timely arrival of the driver, and even if they pick you up on time, you could still wind up stuck in traffic in the back of a cab or Uber long enough to make you late for work.
Ultimately, the best way to get around New York City is to use an electric bike. For traveling longer distances, use a rideshare app to get within biking distance.
Electric Bike + Rideshare is the Formula
Taking an electric bike with you in an Uber or Lyft ensures that you’ll never be completely stuck in traffic jams because you can always hop out and bike the rest of the way. An electric bike also makes it easier to get from one stop or station to another if you choose to go the public transportation route, so it’s a compatible accessory to every form of commuting. Of course, make sure you choose a rideshare driver who has a bike rack.
Other Perks of Commuting on a Bike
By now, you should be thoroughly convinced that riding a bike to work is the smartest move in many scenarios, especially for people who live within a few-mile radius of their job. As an added benefit, it’s also great for the environment and it’s better for your health than sitting stagnant in a vehicle, train, or bus. Even if you choose to ride an electric bike, you still have the option of pedaling when you want to, so your bike can also be used as a tool for exercise. Additionally, studies have proven that boosting blood flow raises alertness and improves cognitive performance, so you’ll arrive at your job feeling ready to tackle the day after a morning bike ride.

Let’s talk about you being a blogger and building your own account like a pro. In a few seconds, you’re going to know five secret tricks of growing your account on social networking service like Instagram. Look through other instagram fitness models to get your inspiration to become a fitness pro and create a modern Instagram feed.
How to Create a Professional Account
How to grow a fitness page if you have no idea how to do that at a professional level? First of all, the staple of the whole process of building a popular page is content and a camera. Well created content and high-quality pictures are going to attract new followers faster. Check whether your phone camera is enough to create that content.
It is not obligatory to buy a new professional camera if your smartphone’s camera is good. But remember, it is better to post a quality image than post just for posting. Since you know the content and you have a nice camera, start working on your page. Here are a few tips to remember.

Pick a recognizable and memorable name. You can use your real name or create something unique from the words related to healthy living.
Pick colors and filters you are going to use for each of your photographs. All pictures should be edited in the same style. Pick one filter or one color for all of them.
Post in a good time. It is very important to pick the right time to upload a photo. It is quite hard to find the right time with a brand-new page. But in a week or two, you will be able to define it by scrolling the statistics on your page. For this, change the settings for a business account. Then, look through the statistics to see when exactly your subscribers are active online. This is when you should upload a new picture. Upload regularly.
Learn how to pose in photos. Have you ever noticed how professional models pose in their photographs? They pose to enhance the abs, hips, legs, and arms. So, before posting a picture, learn how to pose. Add video workouts and share healthy recipes on your page as well. Don’t post just a photograph. Add a description. Write a few words at least.
And of course, don’t forget to make your page a public account instead of a private one. Check it in the settings.
That’s all for the basics of running a fitness page like a pro. Do you know some other tips?
Last week, The Moinian Group announced that Sky — New York City’s most luxurious rental building and the country’s largest in a single tower — is the only residential building in the city to offer room delivery service exclusively for tenants. Residents can order healthy food, nutritious drinks and alcoholic beverages to their units via the tenants-only “Life Time Health” mobile app, which offers quick delivery services from the building’s in-house LifeCafe.
The Moinian Group is the first real estate development company in New York City to answer renters’ demand for healthier and faster food delivery via their innovative room service offering. “We provide residents with a five-star amenity that other buildings have yet to offer their tenants,” said Mitchell Moinian, SVP of The Moinian Group. “The primary advantage of this service is that it allows tenants the ease, privacy and convenience of ordering within Sky, an advantage they don’t have if they order takeout from a restaurant.”
Natasha Vardi, SVP of Residential Properties at The Moinian Group, added: “Tenants are pleasantly surprised when they encounter this service because it is so unique and unusual for a residential building to provide. Typically, people order from a local restaurant and hope that it comes within a reasonable span of time.” But with the mobile app, Sky guarantees delivery from its LifeCafe in about 20 minutes. “In New York, such a short delivery time is unheard of,” noted Vardi.
The healthy food delivery options include breakfast, lunch and dinner options like salads and sandwiches. Tenants can also order delicious fruit smoothies, shakes, wine and beer.
“I’m so passionate about all things chocolate that I can think of nothing better than having the opportunity to share my knowledge and its history,” said Torres. For this venture, Jacques partnered with Eddy Van Belle, chocolate aficionado and founder of four other Choco-Story museums around the world, from Belgium to Uxmal. Of the partnership Torres added: “Creating an immersive experience in New York that would reflect our love of chocolate was our mutual goal.”
Museum visitors can download the Choco-Story phone app, which allows them to discover four virtual 3D animations during the visit of the museum by scanning one of the posters with their phone.
Choco-Story New York is located at 350 Hudson Street and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Tickets are available for purchase at www.mrchocolate.com/museum.
Simply put, Mixer is a global private network for individuals working in art, fashion, film, music and other creative industries. Members must be invited to join the app-based social network, and in turn, they are able to showcase past and current projects while making one-to-one connections. Some of its current members include Rose McGowan, André Saraiva, Adrian Grenier, Lindsay Lohan, Cédric Hervet, Luke Pritchard, Adam Green, Zafar Rushdie and musicians from Major Lazor, St. Lucia, and Leon Bridges’ band.
The founders of Mixer come from very different backgrounds. Cody Simons graduated from Harvard with a degree in Statistics. Anis Bennaceur earned a Masters in Business from ESCP Europe, having worked in marketing at Tinder in France. Alex Carapetis is a drummer for both Wolfmother and Julian Casablancas + The Voidz; he has also toured with the likes of Ke$ha, Nine Inch Nails and Phoenix. Downtown had the pleasure of catching up with Cody, Anis and Alex for some Q&A about Mixer’s past, present and future.
Alex Carapetis: Anis and I met two years ago over a pre-show steak frites lunch while I was on tour in France with Julian Casablancas + The Voidz. Anis booked me for an after show DJ gig at Le Baron in Paris. He told me about how him and his business partner Cody Simons were at the beginnings of creating a platform / app. They expressed interest in bringing me in as the chief creative. It was actually quite a serendipitous moment as the three of us were all looking to create an app for creatives kind of like LinkedIn meets Soho House. Over those next few months we integrated our visions and began to shape the scope of Mixer.
Did any of you work together on a project prior to launching the app?
Anis Bennaceur: No. Although, Alex DJed at a party I threw in Paris. Does that count?
Sure. How did the decision come to make your social network app-based rather than a website?
Cody Simons: Since we were focused on artists connecting with other artists, we wanted something that would be quick and easy to connect rather than something heavy-handed. We are also working on a website.

What is it that you look for in new members? Is there criteria for someone to get an invite?
AB: I’m looking for interesting art, alternative music from whatever you can listen to on the radios these days. Mostly, I think, before approving someone on the network, “How would this person be a good addition to all this userbase that we already have?”
CS: We are generally looking for people who have devoted their career to their trade — not hobbyists.
AC: Creatives — people in fashion, film, music, art, influencers, movers and shakers
Are there any projects that have come about as a result of your app that you are especially proud of?
AB: We are seeing extensive daily use and interaction on Mixer. All internal collaborations and projects are generally confidential unless they’re announced on other social media.
Is there a region where most of your users are? Or are they truly all over the place?
CS: Right now, Mixer’s membership is mostly concentrated in Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. We are working on growing our membership in London, Berlin, and some of the other creative markets in the U.S. — Nashville, Austin, Atlanta, Seattle, etc.
AC: We’ve just introduced our jobs section, which is growing daily and features some brilliant workplace opportunities for creatives. A beautifully-practical way to post jobs and look for paying jobs in the creative and arts industry.
CS: We are focused on growing the membership and getting more jobs on the platform. We have some major updates we’ve been working on coming out in the next month — stay tuned.
When not busy with Mixer, how do you like to spend your free time?
AB: Reading, I’m a bookworm, and I love biographies. I’m currently reading Claude Grudet’s. It’s fascinating.
AC: Music + Travel + Love.
Do you have a favorite restaurant in New York?
AB: Epistrophy in Nolita, I always go for the hanger steak. And Blue Ribbon Sushi on Sullivan [Street], I go there every week — their popcorn shrimp tempura is a killer.
CS: We work in Nolita so we often go to Lovely Day and Tartinery for lunch
Any upcoming concerts or events you have tickets to?
AC: I play drums with Wolfmother and I’m currently in Australia opening up for Guns N’ Roses. Pretty sweet tickets.
AB: I just go to smaller and more intimate concerts. I missed Splashh’s concert last week because of the snowstorm. So I’ll definitely see them at the Mercury Lounge at the end of next month
CS: Lemon Twigs Feb. 21 at Bowery Ballroom — they’ve got a cool sound.
Finally, any last words for the kids?
AB: Don’t ever, ever, ever worry about what other people think of you.
AC: Have fun, stay safe, live with love, put time into following your ultimate desires daily. Follow your dreams. Be good to your mother.
