LOS ANGELES, February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - A new study conducted by The Match Lab, a dating profile writing service, has revealed the top seven best dating profile tips for guys. This study analyzed survey responses from 100 women across the United States, all of whom were single, straight, and actively using dating apps.

According to the study, the best dating profile tips for guys are to:

1. Men should include more photos of themselves in their profile and use higher-quality photos.
2. Be unique. Create a dating profile that is original and conveys the person's personality, hobbies and interests.
3. Make sure your profile uses proper spelling and grammar.
4. Refrain from wearing sunglasses in your photos.
5. Be more open and vulnerable.
6. Men should use photos that show their face clearly.
7. Men should read women's dating profiles more closely before they match with them so they know if they're compatible or not.

The study also revealed 15 tips for how to message women on dating apps and how to keep a conversation going.

According to the study, the best dating app openers are written uniquely for each woman a guy matches with. Guys should use details from the woman's profile to craft their opening message rather than sending the same generic messages to all of their matches.

The study's results also show that being playful, straightforward and engaged are important when messaging women on dating apps. The study found that women tend to value men who send the first message, ask thoughtful questions and ask them out on a date before too much time has passed, with the ideal time for guys to ask a woman out being after they have each sent 5-10 messages.

Other tips for guys on dating apps, according to the study's results, are to be genuine, authentic and emotionally available.

"For a lot of guys, it can be tough to get matches on dating apps — and even tougher to get responses from matches," explains Dan Rosenfeld, founder of The Match Lab. "These findings give guys clear ways to improve their online dating life, whether they're using Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Match or another app. With a better dating profile and a better understanding of how to message women, guys can make the most of their efforts and find what they're looking for."

NEW YORK, February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - iQuanti: Personal loans are a versatile financial tool that millions of Americans take advantage of each year. You can use a loan to consolidate debt, cover a car repair or medical bill, tackle a home improvement project, and even start a business or go on vacation. Whether you're new to personal loans or familiar with them, consider the following before taking one out.  

1. Personal loans can be unsecured or secured

Many personal loans are unsecured. This means you don't have to guarantee them with collateral or a valuable asset you own, like a house or car. Some personal loans, however, are secured and require the pledging of collateral. If you default on a secured loan, the lender will have the right to seize your collateral. A key benefit of a secured loan is that it may be easier to qualify for than an unsecured loan.  

2. There are many personal loan lenders 

All personal loan lenders are not created equal. That's why it's in your best interest to shop around and compare lenders like banks, credit unions, and online lenders. When you do so, you should explore rates, terms, fees, and perks. If possible, prequalify for loans from a few different lenders so you can check and compare their offers without impacting your credit score. Prequalification can make it a breeze to find the right lender and loan for you. 

3. Some personal loans have restrictions 

While most personal loans are flexible and can be used for just about any expense, some lenders impose restrictions on how you may use their loans. Depending on the lender, you may not be able to use the loan proceeds for post-secondary educational expenses like college, university, or vocational expenses, or to make a down payment on a home. Read the fine print before committing to a loan to understand all the restrictions. 

4. Good credit isn't always required 

A good credit score may open the doors to lower interest rates and more favorable terms. But you don't always need good credit to take out a personal loan. Many lenders are willing to lend to borrowers with fair credit or even bad credit. These lenders will look beyond your credit score and consider other factors like your debt-to-income ratio and employment status. Keep in mind that the terms offered by these lenders may not be as favorable as terms offered to consumers with better credit scores. 

5. There are online and in-person loan applications 

These days, most lenders offer an online application process. You can visit the lender's website and share your basic personal and financial details. While you will need to submit additional material like identity verification documents, bank statements, and pay stubs, the initial application process should only take a few minutes. If you prefer to complete an in-personal application, make sure the lender you choose has a branch near your home. 

6. Personal loans could help improve your credit score 

Payment history accounts for 35% of your credit score. If you make your personal loan payments on time, every time, you'll be building and probably improving your credit score. Remember that if you miss a payment or even just pay it late, your credit score will be affected and go down instead of up. 

The Bottom Line 

If you use it responsibly and understand it's not a long-term solution, a personal loan can come in handy every now and then. Before you move forward, compare all your options and read the fine print to lock in the best offer and avoid unwanted surprises down the road.

NEW YORK, February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - iQuanti: Whether you're a new driver or relocating to a place requiring a car, you may be wondering how to budget for your first new car. New cars don't come cheap and can cost tens of thousands of dollars, which makes a personal loan a good idea. The good news is you can take steps to find the ideal vehicle without breaking the bank.

Here are some helpful hints about how to budget for your first new car: 

Do your research 

Your first step is to determine what kind of new vehicle you need and maybe even how long you plan on keeping it. There are basic vehicles to get you from point A to point B without bells and whistles. Others are luxurious and come with every tech and safety feature you can think of. There are electric vehicles, hybrids, and internal combustion cars. There are sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and pickups. Some vehicles are imported, while others are from American manufacturers. With so many choices, it's crucial to complete your research and decide which type of vehicle you want.  

Follow the 10% rule 

If you have plans to finance your vehicle, your monthly payments should be no more than 10% of your net income. This might mean you choose a compact sedan instead of a full-size, fully-loaded SUV. By doing so, you'll be able to make your monthly payments and won't have to worry about a potential repossession.

Consider the total price 

In a perfect world, you'd buy a car without worrying about other costs. The reality, however, is there are what amount to the hidden charges of owning a vehicle. For this reason, you should set aside another 10% of your net income to cover the cost of registration, gas, car insurance, repairs, and routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations. Without wiggle room in your budget, a car can quickly become a financial burden.

Decide if you'd like to buy or lease

You'll also need to decide if you want to buy or lease your new vehicle. While buying a car is usually the more cost-effective option, especially if you plan to drive it for a long time, leasing may make sense in some situations. A lease is worth considering if you prefer a new model with the latest and greatest features but can't afford to buy it outright. Keep in mind there are different kinds of leases. For example, dealer ads will often feature low-mileage leases, which have lower monthly payments but could be very costly if you exceed the mileage allowance and need to pay extra. A lease might be a good fit if you like driving a new car every few years. 

Save for a down payment 

In most cases, a down payment is required, even if you're leasing or using a personal loan to buy a car. Whether a deal with a low-down payment or no down payment at all is available, it's in your best interest to put down as much of a down payment as possible. A larger down payment means lower monthly payments. It can also make it easier for you to own your vehicle free and clear sooner.

Be strategic about when you buy 

There are certain times of the year when it's more likely to land a great deal on a car. By knowing when they are, you could save thousands of dollars on your purchase. If you can, wait to buy a vehicle at the end of the month, on Mondays, on Black Friday, on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, or when a model has been discontinued.  

The Bottom Line 

Budgeting for your first new car is no easy feat. However, it's essential if you'd like to keep your finances in good shape. To budget for your new car, research, follow the 10% rule, consider the total price, decide if you'll buy or lease, save up for a down payment, and be strategic about when you buy.

IMA ART is first-of-its-kind luxury fertility and surrogacy concierge based in Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., February 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - IMA ART, introduced a first-of-its-kind luxury fertility and surrogacy concierge, dedicated to helping high-net-worth & ultra high-net-worth individuals on their private journey to parenthood.

Speak to any parent and they will tell you that a child is the most precious thing on Earth. Perhaps that makes parenthood the ultimate luxury; but for the estimated 15% of couples who run into fertility problems, it's a luxury that's unobtainable without recourse to fertility or surrogacy solutions. In addition, in most international jurisdictions, building a family through assisted reproductive technology is not available to singles and LGBTQIA+. 

The world's wealthiest are not immune from these family creation challenges, but until recently they lacked a luxury fertility and surrogacy provider with the fine touches and exemplary service suited to such high-end discerning clientele.

This is exactly the space that Beverly Hills-based IMA ART Fertility has chosen to occupy. From its iconic California location, Asian infused hospitality, exclusive positioning and beautifully designed website, it's clear this is a brand that exudes luxury.

"Our business originally started in Hong Kong, but it's no accident that we've chosen to set up in Beverly Hills. In this area, we have an amazing choice of five-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, exclusive spas and all the trappings of pure luxury. Our clients may only spend around two weeks here with us, but we want to make that experience as easy and enjoyable as possible, so they are in the perfect frame of mind to undergo their fertility treatment," shared Ron Sonnenberg, Co-Founder.

Since rebranding and relaunching in Beverly Hills, IMA ART has made significant strides in establishing a reputation in this more rarified marketplace. 

"We've also connected with lawyers and insurance advisers who have been in this field for 20 years and they've all told us nobody is serving this high net worth and ultra-high net worth demographic in the way IMA ART is. We are an international business and operating in the luxury sphere is anything but a 9-to-5 job. We have to make ourselves available to our clients when they want us to be available - it's another element that sets us apart from other agencies operating in this space," Ron added.

"Our goal is to be recognized as the pre-eminent luxury fertility & surrogacy concierge. We want to be a brand that lasts and helps families create future generations," said Michelle Tang, CEO and Co-Founder of IMA ART.

About the Company: IMA ART is a high-value bespoke professional fertility advisory service. Creating a whole new personality; introducing an exclusive suite of discreet luxury fertility and surrogacy solutions in Beverly Hills. Learn more about IMA ART Fertility, at www.imaartfertility.com.

Ohio Derailment Image

AKRON, Ohio, February 24, 2023 (Newswire.com) - We The Patriots USA (WTP USA), a nonprofit public interest law firm, announced today that it will be hosting a press conference for all local and national media on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023 at 10 a.m. EST, at the front entrance of the John F. Seiberling Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse, located at 2 South Main Street in Akron, Ohio. The purpose of the press conference will be to discuss WTP USA's litigation against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and local officials over its handling of the train derailment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. WTP USA will be the lead plaintiff in the case. An East Palestine resident, who will also be a named plaintiff, is expected to attend the press conference, along with lead Counsel Cameron Atkinson of Atkinson Law.

Brian Festa, Vice-President & Co-Founder of WTP USA, issued this statement today: "We feel very strongly that every journalist with an interest in honest reporting regarding the incident in East Palestine should be present at Monday's press conference. We will be providing details regarding our legal filing at that time, including the claims we are bringing against the EPA and certain Ohio officials. In our opinion, this is an environmental catastrophe that has seriously jeopardized the health and safety of the residents of East Palestine and the surrounding area, and we believe that public health and safety officials have not taken adequate action to address it. This lawsuit will seek to correct that."

Attorney Atkinson also provided comment: "Politics cannot trump human lives. On Monday, we will be asking a federal court to give the people of Ohio their dignity and rights back and to put an end to them being used as pawns on a political chessboard."
