Has Facebook Caused You To Change Your Dating Patterns?
Do you have an entry on your love bucket list of a wish for your date to ‘friend you Facebook’ and to change Facebook relationship status to “in a relationship”? Is your social dating life and relationship life on your love bucket list?

Here’s a Facebook Relationship Status Post and Comments about Facebook and Dating (images and names removed)
Post: Is FACEBOOK a friend or foe in the early stages of a relationship (and why), how can FACEBOOK be used for a higher good? When to "friend" someone you met organically or on a dating site, when to change your relationship status, using Facebook as a background check, stalking a past relationship or even spying on a current date.
Comment 1 facebook can be a very slippery slope when part of romantic relationships in many ways…
Comment 2 one of the biggest deficits I see is it circumvents actual conversations and can result in a lot of projection and assumptions
Comment 3 I see nothing wrong with looking at a past or present’s Facebook page. That’s just curiosity. I see a big problem with creating a fake profile and acting in an obsessive manner. A slippery slope indeed.

Comment 4 I really hate the relationship status feature….I have hidden mine for now ….waiting for the divorce to happen and plan to fix it in the middle of the night when no one is up LOL! I will never use that feature again. so much on Face Book isn’t real I would hate to use it for any real measure against any future relationship I may have. I try to keep things fun on here, after all, my kid is a "friend" and that helps me tow the line!

Comment 5 name – good observations. It can be wonderful as a way to connect initially and ongoing but no way is it, for me, as good as or ato replacement for direct connection voice to voice or especially in person.
Comment 6 Auto correct thinks "ato" is a word lol.
Comment 7 Just a side note….one thing my ex did do when Yoville (Facebook app) was popular. He did go to my fake "pad" and leave a box of chocolates…..It was nice to know he was thinking about me (then again, he could have been stalking!)

Comment 8 I’ve toyed with the idea of telling anyone I’m dating "I will not friend you on facebook, nor will I text back and forth on any "relationship" subject". I might friend them once the relationship is well established, but not in the beginning… too much potential drama.
Comment 9 I think it is an excellent platform to launch relationships and from then on it’s not about FACEBOOK at all. It’s fun and that’s all it is….but it does turn us into snoops sometimes.

Comment 11 Plus, my facebook profile is my home… lots and lots of personal information there (including exposure to my children). I’m very selective about who I friend. I also think it can be too much info, too soon when just starting to learn about someone. Best to let some of the life details unfold more gradually…

Comment 13 Foe when comments with others appear inappropriate…or when there is never a recognition given to a partner, yet the person is definitely on FACEBOOK. It can certainly be used for the higher good when there is still an occasional endearing acknowledgment of your partner….if not just to let people know that your partner is actually important to you.

Comment 15 If you use your privacy options and blocking option correctly non one will be able to spy on anyone.

Comment 16 I think too many people want to "e-maintain" vs. engage. I’m with name, if you want to get to know me, man up and do so in the real world..

Comment 17 Any "drama" that happens is caused by issues that need to be dealt with anyway – facebook just reveals them faster and more blatantly. Better to shine the light on it all I say. You have to really be ready for an intimate relationship though.

Comment 18 However, some people don’t deal as well with that bright light but need more baby steps and softer lighting for facing those demons, name. Doesn’t mean they aren’t ready, they just aren’t ready for THAT much exposure so quickly.

Comment 22 It is what it us. FACEBOOK is here to stay. What I find interesting is married couples who don’t friend with the spouse. I always thought that was not cool. Having privacy is one thing, but privacy from your primary partner when the rest of the world is allowed to see doesn’t make sense. The spy factor is a bit invasive but then it does allow you to see your potential partner and vice versa being their true selves! If they can’t be trusted, or IF YOU can’t be trusted, it’s gonna reveal itself one way or the other. Why not here?

Love Bucket: Filling The Love Bucket Before Valentine’s Day

Love Bucket: Filling The Love Bucket Before Valentine’s Day Is A Smart Move!
Happy New Year 2012 seems like a distant memory now that we are bombarded with Valentine’s Day which is less than 40 days away. The Christmas cards have been replaced by Valentine’s hearts, cards, and chocolates.
The easiest way to fill the love bucket, whether you are filling a woman’s love bucket is to shine up the Recognition Ring of Desire. There are 7 Rings of Desire®” of “The Love Bucket®”
Spencer Tracy may be right, but so is Gerald Eakdale when it comes to recognition. She their recognition quotes.
“It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn’t, and when it does, we may well reject it.” – Spencer Tracy
“Recognition is the greatest motivator.” -Gerard C. Eakedale
Since the love bucket blog focuses on men filling women’s love buckets, I tend to agree with Mary Kay Ash and William James.
“There are two things people want more than sex and money… recognition and praise.” -Mary Kay Ash
“What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise – although the philosophers generally call it ‘recognition’!”
-William James
Often the word appreciation is used interchangeably with recognition. This is a huge hunger, a huge desire.
"There is more
hunger for LOVE
and APPRECIATION
in this world
than for bread."
~Mother Teresa

You’ll begin to see LOVE BUCKET showing up in stores (below with candles, buckets, aprons) and online (above). Images that say love bucket in the headline that don’t have a love bucket (did you “The Love Bucket®” is a registered trademark?) and handmade buckets with hearts.

The Recognition Ring of Desire of “The Love Bucket®” needs to be shined up on a regular basis. It needs attention. Do you give the right kind of attention to you loved one?
I’ve switched the word motivation with recognition in Zig’s quote to illustrate the point about giving regular recognition to fill the love bucket.
“People often say that recognition doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily." -Zig Ziglar
Thank you for filling the The Love Bucket® before Valentines, on Valentine’s Day and every day.

Love Bucket: In a Relationship, Relationship Status = Love
Friday, December 30th, 2011 Posted in 7 Rings of Desire, Dating, Mating, Relating, Love Bucket, Masterman, Mastermen, Romance | No Comments »Love Bucket: In a Relationship, Relationship Status = Love
Hearts, dates, and the relationship status, “in a relationship” on facebook is one of the life events that gets everybody talking. And even more so when it is the guy to posts this photo and adds it to his facebook timeline live event. That fills her love bucket! A proclamation of love is him claiming her as his.
A proclamation of love is him claiming her as his. He recognizes her and shines up the Love Bucket’s Recognition Ring of Desire with his public proclamation of love.
Here’s what the friends say as he takes this bold move in a public form (some men would never publicly state their love for a woman)

Christine McLeod They say "you just KNOW" and that was absolutely true with my husband JP – we met through a friend, spent a day skiing our hearts out and by that night I just "knew" I had found my soulmate.

Love Bucket: Marriage Proposal with Internet Memes
Thursday, December 22nd, 2011 Posted in Dating, Mating, Relating, Love Bucket, Love Dynamics, Masterman, Mastermen | No Comments »Love Bucket: Marriage Proposal with Internet Memes
Meme Proposal | Tim * Audrey from Crazy Monkey Studio on Vimeo.
Tim used the Love Actually style flip cards sprinkled with perfect beats and pauses of classic Internet memes (complete with the requisite cat with big eyes). Tim was nervous and flipped the cards outside the window.
Tim got his friends to document the whole proposal as he flipped placards to show Audrey his true intentions. “Will you marry me?”
Audrey said YES!
And since the Love Actually scene has Christmas music we’re adding it for your viewing pleasure:
May your Christmas and your love life be filled with every blessing and happiness.

Love Bucket: Male Sexual Exclusivity Linked to Higher IQ
Monday, December 19th, 2011 Posted in Dating, Mating, Relating, SEX | No Comments »Love Bucket: Male Sexual Exclusivity Linked to Higher IQ
Research-proven signs you are smarter than average:
You’re a guy who does not sleep around. You’re smart and know that filling the love bucket of one gal helps you achieve more of YOUR potential.
Sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds.
Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, men who identified with exclusive sex partners had higher IQs.
This applied to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. Kanazawa did not find that higher or lower intelligence predicted sexual exclusivity in women. This makes sense, because having one partner has always been advantageous to women, even thousands of years ago, meaning exclusivity is not a "new" preference.
The reasoning is that sexual exclusivity in men goes against what would be expected given humans’ evolutionary past. In other words, none of these traits would have benefited our early human ancestors, but higher intelligence may be associated with them.
"The adoption of some evolutionarily novel ideas makes some sense in terms of moving the species forward," said George Washington University leadership professor James Bailey, who was not involved in the study. "It also makes perfect sense that more intelligent people — people with, sort of, more intellectual firepower — are likely to be the ones to do that."

Now, go from Dating to Cultivating and pay attention to the in between dynamics like the Sexual Dynamics! It is all about filling the love bucket!
