Bottlenose Dolphin lives in the warm waters worldwide and is the most intelligent species of dolphins. It has a very large brain and the cerebral cortex and the frontal lobe is 40% larger than humans. Cerebral cortex is a part of the brain responsible for social communications, abstract information processing, problem solving, and intelligence of a higher level. Dolphin bottle very easily trained. They have been found to have the ability to think, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas, and learn from previous experiences.

Top Ten Ways to Meet Someone Online

Face the facts: it is getting harder to find someone in what most people would call the “real world.” Many people, then, just opt to search for love online. Some may judge these searchers as mostly desperate and lonely folks who can’t bother going out to meet somebody the “normal” way. Think about it though: what is normal these days? The Internet has played a vital role in the lives of modern people, so what’s wrong with finding someone online? Humans have a natural instinct to crave love, to enjoy being touched (physically and emotionally), and to love someone. When you finally find somebody that you can spend your life with, does it really matter how you found them?



10) You’ve Got Mail

Thinking about his email add

How can anyone forget that heart wrenching and “aww”-inducing Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie? Email is what usually comes after chatting, but it can also be used for meeting people. It’s not exactly a traditional way of meeting someone, because you need the person’s address first before you can send them an email in the first place, but this is when common sense helps you out. If you are a curious and brave enough person, you can actually check out the addresses that are included in the forwarded emails that friends send you. This kind of technique is pretty old school, but old school techniques can work just as well. (Want to know why Emails are essential, read 10 overlooked functions of Email)


9) A/S/L?

Asking for my her asl

Those who have been online since the beginning of time will know how these 3 letters affect them. For those who don’t know (where have you been?), these 3 letters mean “age/sex/location?”. In order to send mushy emails in the past, you had to know the email address of that person and the only way to find out was to chat with them. These all start with the infamous “A/S/L?”, and things proceed from there, depending on the response. Going in a chat room and meeting someone randomly is the most common form of Internet dating, but it tends to be very risky because there really isn’t any security when it comes to chat rooms. The security has to come from you and only you. Remember, when you are dealing with faceless and random people, you have to stay on your guard and not give out too much personal information.


8) www.yoursite.com

There is a certain kind of happiness you get when someone you don’t even know agrees with what you say, tells you what they think, or helps you with your problems. The only respectful thing to do is to reciprocate their kindness and to check out their blogs as well. Who knows? There might be something other than typing out replies brewing behind that avatar.


2) Networking

The sites provide more than just matchmaking services, often including forums, photo albums, chatting features, and even their own IM programs.






When meeting someone online, you always have to remember to be yourself no matter what. If you despise it when people lie to you, you shouldn’t do the same. Also, remember to be on your toes and to only reveal things about yourself that are safe to talk about with complete strangers. Keep in mind that it’s better to be safe than sorry.
