Dating & Affiliate/Search Marketing
The two do not always go together (unless you’re referring to dating offers). I won’t name names of some affiliate marketers who could be making even more money if they weren’t trying to impress their female account managers (hmm, I wonder if the networks do this on purpose?). For them, they like to show off how many sales they can generate for a certain account manager rather than taking their campaigns to the highest paying network and make even more of a killing.
Dating can suck in this space… there are a lot of late nights in front of a computer and unlike most of those guys who are computer programmers who guys still living with their parents – we many times are real people. We understand humor, we don’t play dungeons and dragons, and we make real money.
I won’t deny it – I tried asking one of my Google account reps out once (and was turned down, sadly) but what else will you do when your office is full of men? These are the women who you have to interact with…And it is a real bummer when they are actually quite attractive.
I personally have given up on dating for the most part. I’m always asked by friends and colleagues whether my profile gets special treatment on the dating site that I work for – just for the record: it doesn’t.
As a single, reasonably attractive guy with his life in order – I’ll pursue dating later. Sure, it would be great to not ask myself what I will be doing on a Saturday night, but it is refreshing to minimize the number of distractions in my life as well.
