Videotapes of Members
If a member has a video viewing screen displayed on their Member Profile, you may see their full-length video interview
online. If you're hindered by a slow internet connection you can also purchase a videotape by clicking the
"I want to order this person's video" button on their Member Profile. Of course, videos of members are viewable in the office as well.
 Office produced video interviews usually range anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes in length, and will cover things you'd like to know about this person in addition to information already available on their Member Profile and Partner Compatibility Questionnaire. More importantly, in the video you see their body language, hear their tone of voice and the way they articulate statements and express themself, along with other visual and auditory information. These are very important elements of attraction that provide a much better pre-assessment of whether you would like to venture meeting this person. If you've ever been disappointed with a blind date, you'll certainly appreciate this video dating element that distinguishes Video Introductions from other methods of dating which do not provide sufficient advance assessment and attraction information. If you or another member doesn't have a video on file, we'll do the videotaped interview in our office as part of any membership plan at no extra charge.
For members who don't live locally, a self-prepared video interview
can be sent to the office. A self-prepared video should not give a last name or provide
phone, address or e-mail information, or any other information such as the name of an employer which could be
used to locate a person. This is for your protection. If we become aware that a video
contains this kind of information or other objectionable material, it will not be made available to other members.
A member prepared video should usually be at least 5 minutes in length and shouldn't exceed
about 15 minutes. Members may do self prepared videos either as a monologue
(discussing various things about themselves and who they'd like to meet, etc.) without an interviewer,
or as a dialogue with an interviewer. On a video it's a good idea to give information about what kind of a person you are,
and avoid being overly specific about a lot of desirable qualities
(things you'd like to have) in a partner, as opposed to the necessary qualities (things you absolutely must have) in a partner.
Keep in mind that there are a lot of exceptions to most preconceived notions about who is right for you. You don't want to
eliminate someone who would otherwise have been good for you, simply because you were unduly restrictive with
idealistic and unrealistic standards for a partner. |
