Prince or Poser? How to ID an Authentic Profile

9 Sept 2008

We’ve all met that certain someone. You know the guy or gal who just seemed absolutely perfect for us…maybe too perfect. Fact is, when you have the security of a phone between you and that someone special, some daters might be tempted to embellish or outright exaggerate their appearance, personality, lifestyle or career.

Now, some people actually do see themselves differently than what they physically and emotionally portray in person. Other folks just can’t resist the temptation to work in a little white lie here and there. When it comes to making the call between fact and fiction, there are some tell-tale signs to help you read between the lines of a phone chat profile .

The Perfect Specimen : The voice recording for this would-be date might sound something like “I’m a 6”1, 190 pound, blond hair, blue-eyed male with an athletic build seeking woman of the same. I don’t have any problem finding a date . In fact, I get hit on just about every day. It’s exhausting. I’m looking for my soul mate who will appreciate me for me.” Ok gals, who is this guy? He’s actually shared nothing with you. And without a picture to back up his Brad Pitt description, you’ve got to be left wondering. Plus, any chat profile recording that spends this much time highlighting his attributes is a red flag that he may be just a little narcissistic.

Great Job, Great Life : This recording is likely to blow you away. You’ll hardly believe your luck in finding this tempting tidbit. Not only is he the CEO of his own firm, but on weekends, he’s just dying to jet-off to Paris for some fine French fare with a lucky lady. Ok, it’s unlikely any profile would paint such an over-the-top picture of a would-be date’s life, but do be skeptical of careers and lifestyles that sound like an except from Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous. Until you chat with this date , and get a feel for the authenticity of his profile, take this one with a large grain of salt.

You Should Be So Lucky : Her profile might allude to her Playboy measurements, Nigella Lawson-like flare in the kitchen and her passion for all your favourite sports. You might even feel like you’ve just met your dream girl . Problem is…she’s probably just a figment of her own imagination. Uhm, yeah, ‘cause how many guys wouldn’t want to date this gal? Here’s the deal: she may actually believe she’s this goddess of a woman. However, the reality might not measure up to the fantasy she’s created.

What They Say, What They Mean : The profile of this dater might emphasize their need for a serious, long-term relationship . But in the next breath will outline their hectic BlackBerry dictated schedule. If you read between the lines on this one, this workaholic or social bee may think they’re looking for a long time love , but what their profile is actually communicating is the need to fit their date into an already crammed life. In other words, this date may have all the best intentions in the world, but a long-term relationship just isn’t in the cards. Make sure you chalk this one up to a casual date opportunity .

Finding the One : The profile of this dater will talk about meeting “ the one .” Now, this alone isn’t a red flag. But, if this dater elaborates about who the one is, right down to their supermodel looks and Mother Theresa demeanor, you may realize living up to their ideal of the “perfect match” is far from realistic. In reality, this would-be date needs to tune into reality before he/she could ever get turned on by you.

Minding Your P’s & Q’s on Chat

2 Sept 2008

Make sure you listen as much as you talk. Resist the temptation to spill any dirty details about your ex. Don’t dive into dinner until both your meals have been served. Pretty simple, huh? That’s because these everyday examples of real-world dating etiquette are so common they’re like breathing for most of us. But how does dating etiquette translate into making the right impression when you record a phone chat message? Check out our top tips below…

Cheat Sheet : Feeling a little nervous about leaving your inaugural voice recording ? Relieve the pressure with a handy cheat sheet. Simply jot down some easy-to-remember notes to help avoid any awkward silences.

The Basic 411 : Your message should capture the basics. Share details like your general build (slim, couple of extra pounds); hair colour; the kind of relationship you want (casual dating, relationship intimate encounter etc.) and work in a little quip that captures your best features (e.g. your sense of humour).

Wants, Needs & More : Go ahead, talk about what you want. In general terms. Share some basic information about yourself, but hold back on divulging any deep dark secrets. This might be a good time to share your top three “must have” relationship or dating criteria . For example, if a pet is a potential deal-breaker, now might be a good time to work it into the conversation.

Dirty Talk : Unless you’re after an intimate encounter or prefer a ride on the wild side , it’s probably best to keep your frilly little verbal nothings safely stored in your subconscious. We’re all for spicing things up, but early phone chat etiquette reveals it best to keep dirty talk to a minimum.

Me, Myself & I : Remember the goal is to learn more about your would-be date . If you feel like you’re revealing too much or that your voice recording could lead to more of a monologue than a dialogue, refer to that handy cheat sheet.

Mumblers & Low Talkers : How frustrating would it be to get a message from a would-be date that you need an interpreter to dissect? Even if you’re the next hottest thing , a hard-to-understand recording will take the sizzle out of the spicy you instantly. Remember to speak clearly and calmly. Take the time to review your recording .

All Talk, No Action : You’re probably thinking—“I’m making a voice recording where’s the action in that?” Here’s the deal: instead of talking about how laid back your lifestyle is or waxing poetic about your passion for running…work in a quick story that makes this point. For example, you could talk about your Saturday morning newspaper & coffee routine. Or share all the details about your latest race.

Connect with Live 1-on-1 Chat

Connect with Live 1-on-1 Chat

Want to get in on the action of a 1-on-1 live chat phone chat? Really, it’s high-time you discovered what you’ve been missing. First let’s ease your mind about a few key details. Throughout the chat, you’ll remain anonymous. The 1-on-1 chat is your chance to participate in a safe, private forum where you remain, at all times, in complete control of the situation.

The best part is you can instantly interact with other members who are hanging out in the chat room. Here’s how it works… When you enter the live chat, you’ll be asked to record a greeting. Keep it simple, keep it short. Make sure to let the other folks in the room know a thing or two about you. Now that you’re in the chat room, you can listen to greetings from other members.

Really, it’s the quickest way to make a connection. Not only do you have the chance to listen to other folks’ greetings, but you can instantly respond to their message. Now, if you’re just not into someone in the room, no worries! Just skip past their message. But it you do hear someone or something you like, work up the courage, send them a message. And if you’re really hitting it off, you can even hook-up for a private 1-on-1 rendezvous.

It all feels so natural. It’s just like being on the phone with a friend. Except now it’s you, the phone and few other people hanging out. Remember, your privacy is always protected. You never have to worry about your phone number being revealed. You make the call on whether you want to accept or decline any messages. Someone really getting under your skin? Block them from sending future messages to you.

Need to check out an email? Pick up another call? Yep, you can do that too. You can put a live QuestChat on hold for up to five minutes without disconnecting from the live 1-on-1 chat. Don’t worry about missing any of the action either. Any messages you receive, while away on your five minute hiatus, will be waiting for you.

Make it a Message to Remember

Personal Profiles: Make it a Message to Remember

At some time in our lives, we’ve all had stage fright. Making that first call, or leaving your first online chat voice message, can take you right back to that moment. It’s time to warm-up those cold feet! Really, it’s so much easier (and fun!) to leave a chat message than to present in front of a zillion people. For one thing, you can always re-record your greeting. Hey, not too many things in life come with an instant replay!

First things first, think of your voice message as personal marketing 101 . There are a lot of other daters vying for your potential date’s attention. That means your message has to separate you from the crowd. What makes you unique and desirable? Did your potential match say anything in his/her profile that caught your attention? If you can, without sounding too practiced, include this personal tidbit from their message in your voice recording. That way, you start to form a connection…even before you have a 1-on-1 conversation .

Do avoid the rambling foot-in-mouth-message. Be confident and precise. Got a mini-list of must-have dating criteria ? This might be a good time to discreetly work a couple of these points into your message. Be honest, clear and direct about who you are, gently suggesting what you might be after. Whatever you do, don’t forget who you’re talking to…a potential date .

With that in mind, put any talk about an ex on ice. That goes double for details about a past relationship, lovers or even the spat you had last night with your mother/sister/brother. Remember, this is your first introduction to this date , make sure you leave the right impression. On that note, consider inserting a little “teasin’ & pleasin” into your message . Reveal something about yourself that shows the cute, funny, quirky, adventurous (you fill in the blank!) side of ou.

Don’t forget the closer: invite him/her to contact you . It can be as simple as, “Interested in learning more? Get in touch.”; “Hey, I’d love to hear from you.”; “Leave me a message and we can connect for a chat.” How you say it is completely up to you, but the final invite just may put all the pieces together for you.

Chat Line Mobile Dating

Chat Line Mobile Dating - But I Forgot the *#$@*!^ Number!

If you want to call your local Quest chat line number and don't have the digits handy, or are not by your PC, you're in still in luck. All you need is your smart phone/PDA like a Razr, Blackberry, iPhone, or regular Web enabled cell phone. And nowadays, who doesn't have a cell?

First, you can search from your cell, search for www.questchat.com following by a forward slash then your city name, e.g. /toronto, /atlanta, /newyorkcity, etc. So the URL will look like

• questchat.com/toronto
  
• questchat.com/atlanta
  
• questchat.com/newyorkcity
  
• queschat.com/houston
  
• questchat.com/dallas
  
• questchat.com/miami
  
• queschat.com/losangeles
  
• queschat.com/seattle
  
• questchat.com/lasvegas
  
• questchat.com/washingtondc
  
• etc.
  

and you'll instantly access the local chat line number in your city, town, and neighborhood. Best of all, you should be able to highlight the local chat line number displayed on your PDA browser and click it - It will automatically dial the local chat line telephone number.

Similarly, if you Google "chat line" or your city with, e.g. "chat line vancouver", "chat line san diego", "chat line detroit", "chat line raleigh", etc., from your iPhone or Blackberry, or cell, chances are you will see the Quest home page Web site on the first page of search results or near the top of search results on your cell phone.

Finally, you can also call the chat line system locator number free at 1.888.257.5757 and the local chat line number from your calling area will be given to you. Quest chat line is available in over 250 cities across the United States and Canada, so you should be able to find your local chat line number. If there isn't a local number from your area you can call 1.900.484.2525 from any city in the USA, or 1.900.548.4444 from any city in Canada.

The chat line Web site displayed on your mobile phone is automatically truncated by the browser software compared to the version displayed on the web site from your desktop/laptop. It works well enough, but Quest will be launching a specially designed micro chat line site / mobile chat line site just for the busting mobile market.

Stay tuned!

Chat line and Online Dating Criteria

Ethnicity and Dating

As much as people, and many dating sites and social networking companies, like to think that collectively, we are mature, hip, sophisticated adults living in a post-modern society where race, ethnicity, religion, and skin color are really not THAT important when it comes to meeting new people, making friends, dating, romance, sex, marriage, and socializing in general. Yet, when it comes to dating over the phone or a Web site there are so many criteria when we create our personal profiles or to funnel our searches and personal choices for meeting that special someone.

Especially when relationship types lead to dating, sex, personal relationships, and/or marriage, the choices appear to be framed upon, for lack of a better term, "if then" rules. For example, some Caucasians might have a rule "If I'm white guy, then I want to hookup with a white girl", or "If I'm an Indian girl, then I want to meet an Indian guy".

If religion is an determining factor in dating, sex, romance and/or marriage then it might look be "If I'm a Muslim, then I should marry a Muslim" or "If I'm a Jew, then I should marry a Jew". Ethnicity and nationality are very common criteria too, e.g. "If I'm Russian, then I want to date other Russians", "If I'm Italian, then I was to date/have sex/marry an Italian", and so forth. Sometimes these rules may exist on a non-physical level.

For example, some people might think, believe, and/or feel that a stronger comparability and personality match is better based on everything from profession/training, e.g. "If I'm an engineer then I want to date another engineer", "If I'm a musician then I want to marry another musician", to star signs, "If I'm a Leo, then I want to marry a Leo", and so forth. We certainly have these rules with age range and sexuality, but the number of "if then" rules seem limitless, so keep counting!

But whether these silly "if then" rules hold water or not, it is difficult to deny they exist and the power they exert over choices when it comes to meeting new people for romance, dating, sex, and marriage. They appear to be part, small or large, of our identity. Are these "if then" rules explicitly or implicitly learned from our environment, schooling, from our parents, culture, and traditions? Who is to say, but what many chat lines and web online dating firms do is recognize the importance of choice when it comes to finding and meeting new people for dating, romance, sex, relationships, and/or marriage.

Quest is no different. When you call Quest chat line you can choose the minimum age and maximum age of female profiles, male profiles, and couple profiles in your local area that may interest you. For example, you can listen to females interested in dating in Toronto who are of 19 - 24 years old, female profiles in interested in love and relationships in New York City who are 22 - 29 years old, males in interested in intimate encounters in Los Angeles who are 24 - 32 years old, married females interested in discrete encounters in Houston who are 23 - 42 years old, males interested in love and relationships in Miami who are 33 - 44 years old, single women interested in fantasies and fetishes in Vancouver who are 35 - 45 years old, males in a relationship interested in discrete erotic encounters in Detroit who are 29 - 39 years old, swingers interested in fantasies in Manhattan who are 34 - 44 years old, and so on.

If you're a Latina Women, Latino Men you might check out Axxess Latino for Spanish/Hispanic women and men. If you African-American, you might slide into MetroVibe Chat line for Black Women, Black Men. If you're a gay man or bisexual/bicurious you might check out Hardline Chat. So whether your criteria is based on ethnicity, sexuality, age, and of course geography, you can find on these sites the widest possible representation of single women and men including Indian Women, Indian Men, Hispanic Women, Hispanic Men, Japanese Women, Japanese Men, Chinese Women, Chinese Men, Italian Women, Italian Men, French Women, French Men, Polish Women, Polish Men, Ukrainian Women, Ukrainian Men, Russian Women, Russian Men, and so forth.

Quest members also represent all sexual orientations including straight single women, straight single men, couples, swingers, single lesbians, lesbian couples, bisexual women, bisexual couples, bi-curious women, bisexual men, bi-curious men, gay men, gay couples, married couples, swingers, and so forth.

Quest chat line has tens of thousands of both single adult women and men ranging from various ages, interests, lifestyles, backgrounds, and personalities. There are 18+ teen female singles and male singles, middle aged professionals, executives, seniors, couples, and of course, thousands of young adults.

So there you have it!

Chat Lines for Sexual Encounters

Quest Nation: Chat Lines for Sexual Encounters

13 June 2008

In addition to the groups Love and Steady Relationships, and Casual Dating and Get togethers, Quest Chat has three chat communities that are possibly the most fun, exciting, and wild for members. These groups are Intimate Encounters, Fantasies and Fetishes, and Couples and Swingers.

Intimate Encounters: Intimate encounters is subdivided into two chat groups: (a) Singles Seeking Intimate Encounters, and (b) Attached Seeking Discrete Encounters. The first group is perhaps the most popular for single women and single men looking for sexual partners and erotic play. Here, members describe what type of sexual relationship they are looking for. Usually it is casual and friendly with no-strings attached, e.g. a "sex-buddy".

Sometimes members are looking for one-night stands or a sex partner for the long-weekend. Sometimes, people are looking for a longer-term sexual partner. Sometimes, people are looking for a "quickie" or "afternoon delight" sex break when things are slow on a Wednesday afternoon in the office. When you call and listen to ads in the Quest system, there are wide variety of relationships you pick from. The second chat group "Attached Seeking Discrete Encounters" is just like the previous group with the exception that members are already in a relationship or are married, but still seeking an extra sexual tryst on the side. This chat group is #3 on the phone menu.

Fantasies and Fetishes: Fantasies and Fetishes is sub-divided into two categories: (a) Erotic Conversations, and (b) Domination and Submission.

The first group, Erotic Conversations is for both women and men who enjoy erotic conversations and sharing sexual fantasies over the phone with real people just like themselves. Arguably this chat group is the best for those looking for a convenient and quick sexual release without much time to spare. The group is also perfect for those who enjoy having secret erotic fantasies about their neighbor's wife, friend's 18+ teenage daughter, wife's sister, officer co-worker or secretary, Hollywood actress like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, or Jessica Alba, female singer like Beyonce, fashion super model like Heidi Klum, or Daria Werbowy, celebrity stars like Paris Hilton or Lindsy Lohan, or Adult Film Stars like Jenna Jameson, Sunrise Adams, and Devon. Maybe you have an eye for a female politician, senator, congresswoman, politicians wife, or girlfriend.

Now, if you consider all of the exposure of high-profile sex scandals covered in today's media including Julie Couillard and former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier, FIA President Max Mosley who was videotaped in a London UK sex dungeon, or former US President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, it is fairly easy to understand how public events, ideas, and sex scandals can sometimes seed ideas into the sexual imaginations of both women and men who want to sexualize and role-play a fantasy scenarios over the telephone in safe, private, and discrete environment.

The second sub-group, Domination and Submission, is for people interested in BSDM, domination and submission, bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, verbal humiliation, erotic spanking, tickling, love bites, rough sex, waxing, foot fetishes, leather fetishes, dirty talk, phone sex, cyber-sex, exhibitionism, voyeurism, cuckoldry, and other intimate sexual tastes with like-minded consenting adult women and men in their local area. Here, members post a profile to the group and connect with other single women, men, and couples. This chat group is #4 on the Quest chat line phone menu.

Couples and Swingers: Couples and Swingers is, as you guessed, for couples and swingers interested in hooking up with other couples and swingers. If you and your wife or husband, female or male partner, or girlfriend and boyfriend like to watch, enjoy having sex with other couples and swingers, or are interested in exhibitionism, voyeurism, soft swinging or soft swap, full swap, group sex, and cuckolding call Quest Chat today and submit a free profile to the couples and swingers group. This chat group is #5 on the phone menu.

Creating Your Virtual Blackbook

Quest Nation: Creating Your Virtual Blackbook

9 June 2008

Everyone needs a simple, yet functional, way to contact their friends n’ family. In your everyday life that could mean an email contact list or even a physical address book. Well, good news, some chat phone line services offer their very own customized address book.

After you’ve set-up your mail box, recorded your voice greeting and begun exploring the various membership areas, you’ll probably want to personalize your space. At Quest Chat , your Black Book helps you do all of these things and more. Think of it as your one-stop matchmaking tool! It helps you keep track of any member(s) that catches your fancy.

Below, you’ll find a list of some of the features of the Quest Chat Black Book…

• Custom Category : Imagine you’re totally into the Casual Dates & Get Togethers group. Without a Black Book, every time you call into the chat phone line, you have to select this group and the preferred age range for daters within it. But when you select this group as a custom category , you can skip several steps, jumping right into your favourite ads. Best of all, every time you go into your Black Book, you’ll get the scoop on any new ads that have been recorded since you last dialed in.
  

• Winks : Think you can’t flirt on the phone? Think again! Your Black Book gives you the option of sending winks …delectable flirty phrases to other members. It’s one of the best (and easiest) ways to express interest and break the ice. Find out if anyone has winked at you by selecting #2 in your Black Book. Heard a wink that caught your attention? Simply press #2 to respond. Heck, you can even learn more about your particular admirer when you select the #5. Or get the ball rolling, by selecting the #6, and send your own wink.
  

• Friend’s List : You have the option of creating a friend’s list in your Black Book. These are the folks you’re most interested in getting to know. After you’ve heard a recording you’re interested in, follow the prompts to include that person in your Black Book. The next time you get into the chat phone lines , go into your Black Book, and select #3. Instantly, you’ll discover which of your friends are currently on the system.
  

• Private Notes : Chances are you’ll probably want to take a note or two on a potential date. With your Black Book, it’s as easy as selecting the #7 after you’ve heard a specific member’s ad. Remember, these private notes are for your ears only. They will not be shared with other members.

Play Matchmaker with Your Membership Group

Quest Nation: Play Matchmaker with Your Membership Group

5 June 2008

You’re feeling comfortable with chat phone lines and are ready to make the next move into dating. Now, it’s time to think about who and what you want in a date.

Are you seeking a long-term, lasting relationship? Maybe you’re fresh to the dating scene, after a hiatus, and want something more casual and fun. Perhaps you’re feeling a little more sexually adventurous, like our fave Sex in the City femme fatale Samantha, and want to indulge a particular itch.

Whatever you’re after, prepare to be spoiled for choice at Quest Chat. Once you figure out who you want, browse through one or more of the following categories: Love & Steady Relationships; Casual Dates & Get Togethers; Intimate Encounters; The Wild Side and/or Couples & Swingers.

Just select the group you prefer and then follow the simple phone prompts. The easy-to-use chat phone line helps you narrow down whether you want local dates; choose a specific area or gives you the chance to cast your net more widely to include all calling areas offered by the service.

Next, it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty. Choose the age range for your potential date…or not. You can skip this step and instead take the spontaneous route exploring all ads in your chosen membership group. Spice is definitely the variety of life. Remember, you can join one or all of the different groups.

Ready to check out some ads? It’s so simple! Just select the ad you want to listen to, and if a particular recording catches your fancy on Quest Chat, enjoy every last word of it by selecting the #1 to rewind the ad by 10 seconds. Get even more deets about a specific ad by selecting the #5 after you’ve listed to it. You’ll hear what city your potential date lives in; when they were last on the system and the age group they fall into.

Want to express your interest in a particular ad? Let the flirting begin! Select #6 to send a wink (more on this later…). And of course, if you’re really feeling the connection, select #2 to send your potential match a message. Next up: You’ll make many friends on the chat phone line which is precisely why you need your very own virtual Black Book.

Taking the Plunge into Phone Chat

Taking the Plunge into Phone Chat

Now that you know chat phone lines are right for you, what next? First things first, you’ll need to set-up your voice mail box. It’s as simple as getting a mail box number and password. Oh, and forget waiting, it’s instant. You’ll have both within seconds of picking up the phone.

Next, you’ll want to record your voice greeting. Before you get a bad case of stage fright, take a deep breath. You’ll have as many “takes” as you like to get it right. Plus, everything is totally anonymous and private. Does the mere thought of recording a voice greeting send shivers up your spine? Relax, make it easy on yourself: create a short script.

On Quest Chat, you can actually select an option that gives you 30 seconds to write out your script or greeting. Need more time? Just select the option again. Now, onto the greeting…

Believe it or not, smiling while you talk can make all the difference. Who knew? Speaking loudly and clearly is oh so important too. And consider standing up when you record the greeting. People who choose to stand, when recording a greeting, convey a more confident tone to their listener.

Yes, word to the mumblers and low-talkers in the audience, both can be a big phone chat turn-off. Likewise, background noise is also a big no-no. Now that you’re getting into the swing of things, share a couple of details about yourself. But nothing too personal. Simple facts like the colour of your hair, your height and a couple of infinitely charming details about your personality should do.

Most important? Relax, breathe and be yourself. Then listen to your ad. Once you’ve got a final cut, you’re ready for the next step…choosing the right phone chat group for you.

The Best Way to Find Your Next Date

Quest Nation: The Best Way to Find Your Next Date

2 June 2008

These days with so many different ways to meet your next date—from online dating to chat phone lines and even social networking—it can be tough to choose the medium that best suits you. Really, it’s a totally personal call. But there are some distinct advantages to meeting your next date by phone.

If you’re shy, or maybe just incredibly busy, or heck, even on a budget, hanging out in a bar may not be your best bet to find your next date. Let’s face it, it’s much easier after a tough day at work, to come home and hook-up with someone new from the comfort of your own place.

Still, that doesn’t rule out online dating. Again, it’s a totally viable option. Lots of people have successfully met their match online. But it may be hard to motivate yourself to get back into computer-mode from home especially if you just did the happy dance shutting down your computer at work.

Then again, maybe you’re just after an immediate connection that somehow feels more personal and authentic. There’s nothing quite like listening to the sound of someone else’s voice. You can learn a lot from their tone, the words they use, and even discover hints about their general attitude. All things that make it that much easier to choose your next date.

Without a doubt, that one-on-one voice connection is probably the biggest advantage to chat phone lines over online dating and social networks. That, plus the fact it’s entirely private allowing you to meet as many people as you like without revealing your identity. When you sign-up for a service like Quest Chat, you can easily and conveniently meet people in your own area. And it’s free to set-up your own profile, hang-out in audio chat rooms and listen to other people’s voice recordings and their personal profiles.

Not to mention, it’s almost like having a matchmaker; chat phone lines automatically filter daters you might be interested into groups like Love & Steady Relationships, Casual Dates & Get Togethers, Intimate Encounters, and other groups. It’s totally convenient and completely tailored to you.

Next up: taking the plunge…
