But done right, it can also increase feelings of closeness and affection and strengthen the bond between two people. This "soul gazing" and other exercises to keep love alive went on display last month in New York City and in San Francisco, with the help of Scientific American editor in chief Mariette DiChristina and Robert Epstein, a longtime psychology researcher who is also a contributing editor to Scientific American Mind.

According to a study published in the April 2009 issue of the journal Genetics, a team of scientists from the United States and Australia discovered that at the genetic level, some males and females are more compatible than others, and that this compatibility plays an important role in mate selection, mating outcomes, and future reproductive behaviors.

The settlement is the result of a complaint New Jersey resident Eric McKinley filed against the online matchmaker in 2005. McKinley, 46, said he was shocked when he tried to sign up for the dating site but couldn't get past the first screen because there was no option for men seeking men.
"It's very frustrating and it's very humiliating to think that other people can do it and I can't," he said. "And the only reason I can't is because I'm a gay man. That's very hurtful."
Neither the company nor its founder, Neil Clark Warren, acknowledged any liability. Under the settlement, eHarmony will pay New Jersey state division $50,000 to cover administrative costs and will pay McKinley $5,000.
McKinley called the settlement "fabulous" and said he was happy with the outcome. He's considering signing up for the new site once it launches.
Pasadena, Calif.-based eHarmony said it plans to launch its new service, called Compatible Partners, on March 31.
The site will be free for the first 10,000 users who register within a year of its launch. After that, pricing for the new site will be equal to that of eHarmony.
"With the launch of the Compatible Partners site, our policy is to welcome all single individuals who are genuinely seeking long-term relationships," said Antone Johnson, eHarmony's vice president of legal affairs.
Theodore B. Olson, an attorney for eHarmony, said that even though the company believed McKinley's complaint was "an unfair characterization of our business," it choose to settle because of the unpredictable nature of litigation.
"eHarmony looks forward to moving beyond this legal dispute, which has been a burden for the company, and continuing to advance its business model of serving individuals by helping them find successful, long-term relationships," Olson said.
The popular online matchmaker has been sued before for discrimination.
Last year, a Northern California woman sued the online dating service. She also alleged discrimination against gays, lesbians and bisexuals.
In 2005, a San Francisco man filed a similar complaint to McKinley's, but the state determined no discrimination laws were violated.
Another California man sued eHarmony in 2005 for refusing to help him find a date. The company said there was one good reason for that: He was still married. That case was dropped on the eve of trial.]]> decline to state Romance Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:06:40 -0800 http://dating.blameitonlove.com/read.php?7,4551,4551#msg-4551 http://dating.blameitonlove.com/read.php?7,4551,4551#msg-4551 Personality researchers have long known that people who report they have certain personality traits are also more (or less) likely to be satisfied with their romantic partners. Someone who says she is often anxious or moody, for example, is more likely than her less neurotic counterpart to be dissatisfied with her significant other.

Traditional machismo is the stereotypical masculine personification of a Mexican-American man as controlling, sexist and violent, correlated with antisocial behavior, aggressive masculinity and wishful thinking as a coping style. These men tend to have more difficulty expressing emotion. However, traditional machismo did not correlate with dominance as hypothesized. Caballerismo is a positive image of a man as the family provider who respects and cares for his family. It depicts Mexican-American men as chivalrous, nurturing and noble. These men rated higher on the social connectedness scale, saying they felt value in their family relationships and were in touch with their feelings, and the feelings of others. They also displayed more practical ways of solving their problems.

Can you guide me through the process?

(Tech Support): Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

(Customer): Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

(Tech Support): The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

(Customer): Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

(Tech Support): What programs are running ?

(Customer): Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

(Tech Support): No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?

(Customer): I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

(Tech Support): With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.

(Customer): Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

(Tech Support): Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

(Customer): Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not run on external components." What should I do?

(Tech Support): Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

(Customer): So, what should I do?

(Tech Support): Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

(Customer): Okay, done.

(Tech Support): Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

(Customer): Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

(Tech Support): Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

(Customer): Thank you, Universe!]]> eeek Romance Sun, 03 Feb 2008 16:34:16 -0800 http://dating.blameitonlove.com/read.php?7,226,226#msg-226 http://dating.blameitonlove.com/read.php?7,226,226#msg-226
