Tips for Successful Online Dating on SambalHot

 

If you are looking for romance on SambalHot, you have come to the right place. This page has good tips on getting the best dating experience on SambalHot.

Submit a Good Picture

No one should choose a partner, lover, best friend based on looks alone. However, since you are meeting online for the first time, it is comforting to know how each other looks like. For example, when you meet someone for the first time in the physical world, you see the other person immediately. So seeing a person when you meet him or her, is something everyone has gotten used to. Let's face it, if you go up to introduce yourself wearing a mask (unless it is a costume party), the other person is bound to run away.

So, let's make the first online meeting as comfortable as possible by making a photo available for viewing. Here're some recommendations on the photo you submit:

  1. One that shows you clearly. Avoid pictures that are too dark, or in which you are too small or too far back.
  2. It should be clear who you are in the photo. Avoid photos with multiple people ople unless you indicate clearly on the photo who you are using a image editing tool.
  3. Be yourself. A head shot is always good, but you can also get more interest if you use a photo that conveys your personality. For example, one of you doing something you enjoy, or one that shows an expression that is typically you.

We want to keep the site clean, fun and real. So, please do not submit:

  1. Photographs that other users may consider pornographic. As a rule of thumb, guys may appear topless, but gals may not. Gals, you may, however, show as much cleavage as you like. Nothing nude below the belt, guys or gals.
  2. Photographs of you when you were 3. Okay, you may look really cute at 3, but that's not what our users want to see. Maybe when you start dating, but not as the first impression.
  3. Photos that are obviously fake or modified using a computer to be a joke.
  4. Photos of celebrities or other random people.

 

Write a Good Profile

We provide options for various aspects such as hobbies, age, religion, country etc. to get you started. However, we encourage you to express yourself in the free-form description field. That's what our users like to read the most! You can also repeat the hobbies that you already checked off in the write up about yourself. Here're some ideas (but only include what you are comfortable with): "

  • What's your name
  • Where are you from, you can be much more specific that just the country. Tell them the city, town, neighborhood etc. For example, you can say I live in Bukit Timah in Singapore, or London, near Paddington Station in UK.
  • What you do for a living, or if you are studying.
  • What are your likes and dislikes
  • What turns you on
  • Your horoscope sign
  • Your favorite movies
  • Your favorite celebrity, or if you are into sports, your favorite team.
  • What you are looking for - friendship, romance, marriage
  • What qualities you seek for the person you are looking for

You can write just about anything, and the above list contains just a few ideas.

 

Take Action!

Look through the users on the site and contact people who seem interesting. Cast your net a little wider than you would in real life. Since this is an online encounter, the person may not have uploaded the best picture or written the best profile.

 

Expand Your Horizons

If you haven't found someone special in your neighborhood, look a little further. Perhaps the right one for you isn't in the same city or even country. For example, if you are a Chinese living in USA, perhaps your perfect match lives in Hong Kong, China or Singapore. Someone with some similarity in background, culture or race, combined some difference can make for a very interesting and fulfilling relationship. Or perhaps your perfect mate isn't even Chinese. So our advice is, look for something in common, and combine it with something interesting and different.

For example:

If you are a Chinese living in USA, you may want to consider:

  • Perhaps you should consider Chinese living in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Malaysia.
  • Perhaps you can consider other Asians living in USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Malaysia and UK.

If you are an Indian living in USA, you may want to consider:

  • Perhaps you should consider Indians living in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indian
  • Perhaps you can consider other Asians living in USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Malaysia and UK.

If you are a Caucasian, you may want to consider Asians who speak your language. If your native tongue is English, you may want to consider singles from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Philippines and India since those countries have a high percentage of people who have a good command of English.

If you are a Muslim, you may want to consider Muslims from other countries such as Malaysia, Pakistan, Turkey etc.

You get the idea. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Rather, their purpose is to spark ideas about how to reach out and find your perfect mate.

 

Be Patient, Persistent, and Positive.

Some members of the site take a few months to find the right person, and others meet their love within a day or two. Just like most things in life, finding love is part fate and part hard work. But life is too short to stand on the sidelines. If you must, go out and meet a few hundred guys or gals that interest you. At least one will be quite suitable for a happy life together. The other alternative is ¡K. well, there is no other alternative but blind luck - something you cannot depend on.
