CHICAGO NEWS: The New Face of Online Dating

Jay Lillie
When it comes to meeting a man or woman, attitude plays a very big role in how successful, or unsuccessful you are. If you have a positive attitude you´re more likely to attract women more easily than a guy with a negative attitude. Being positive and upbeat shows in nearly everything you do, as does being negative and glum. Women are much more likely to choose the positive, upbeat guys.

First, a positive attitude reflects confidence and self-respect. As we already discussed, confidence and self-respect are vital. A positive attitude also directly affects how other people feel when they´re around you. For example, have you ever had a friend or co-worker who was always down or pessimistic? If you have, did you notice that after a while his or her mood started making you feel down or uncomfortable or irritable? Chances are it´s happened to all of us. So remember, if for no other reason than to not be a dark cloud hanging over everyone´s head, try your best to be positive and have a good attitude.

But it goes much further than that. When you´re trying to make your best impression, being negative will not work. You have to feel good before you can make anyone else feel good. You have to radiate the same kinds of feelings you want to receive. If you´re not giving off those positive vibes we´ll pick up on it and most likely steer clear of you.

"TribeOfSingles.com", the new online dating community, celebrates its launch with an Improv Matchmaking Party at Improv Olympic Theater in Chicago. On Wednesday evening, September 23, 2009, from 7 to 10 p.m., single men and women over 21 will enjoy an hour of

improvised scenes about the humorous aspects of dating and seeking your great love match online and off.

IO's improvisers, lead by founder Charna Halpern, also will play

matchmaker for several lucky singles in the audience. These newly-matched couples will receive a glass of champagne and a chance to get to know each other during the launch party.

Tickets ($25 each) include two drinks, a gift of a 90-day free membership

in this singles club (valued at $141) plus a copy of the novel that spawned

this dating site.

That novel is TRIBE OF BLONDES, by Chicago-bred author, Hadley Finch.

It's Sex and the City meets First Wives Club who know The Secret. Author Hadley Finch is a real-life Carrie Bradshaw, writing about relationships based on her online dating adventures on three continents and 200 blind dates after her long marriage ended in divorce.

As Hadley met extraordinary men through the top dating sites, she quickly realized how she could upgrade the internet dating site features in her new site.

What makes "tribeofsingles.com" different from other dating sites?

It's the only ageless-timeless dating site where you don't publish your age, so there's no need to fiddle with that figure like on other sites. You must be at least 21 to join. No more blind dates, since you meet through video chats, TelePowWows with Love Guides and travel vacations.

No barriers on race, religion, or region in the world. A resilient optimistic spirit unites the tribe and fuels our passionate choices and personal triumphs. Special events like the Improv-Matchmaking Party at IO Chicago and IO L.A. later

this fall also will create a sense of belonging to a community in the Tribe Of Singles.

To purchase tickets to this kickoff party on 9-23-09, contact the IO Chicago Box Office at 773-880-0199 or order online at ioimprov.com
