Mesmerizing photos to video

March 28, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC /by CMB

Here is another art exhibition New Yorkers should be excited about.

Oded Hirsch is having his first solo exhibition: nothing new, here in New York and he has the art community buzzing.

“In a series of videos and photographs completed over the past few years, Hirsch presents seemingly purposeless collective endeavors, performed in real time, where the focus is more on the process than on the outcome of the undertaking. Questioning the very notion of “togetherness” and utopia, Hirsch produces works that, while profound and political, are also intimate and moving,” Thierry Goldberg Gallery explains.

WHAT: Oded Hirsch Solo Exhibition: nothing new

WHERE: 103 Norfolk Street between Rivington and Delancey Streets

WHEN: Through Sunday April 15

March 28, 2012/in Date Tips /by CMB

12:00pm rolls around and you get that email you’ve been waiting for-your Bagel is waiting for you!

But all that excitement is immediately killed when you open your email and see something like this-

I am FUN, OPTIMISTIC

I look HAPPY, JUST LIKE MY PICTURES

I like BASKETBALL

I appreciate when my date N/A

What’s with the scarcity in words? How are you supposed to figure out what kind of person he/she is with 5 details- if you even consider “fun” as being detailed? It is most likely you will pass on this Bagel not because he/she is bad person but just because there weren’t enough information on the profile.

So, let’s bring this scenario into your hands.

The first thing your match sees is your profile, so you want to have your profile truly represent yourself and being descriptive always helps. Why would you not want to tell people about yourself? This is your way of telling your Bagel you two may be a good match overall- if he/she is. If you do not have such information on your profile how will the Bagel know at all?

There are 2 big frequent reasons why people pass on their Bagels.

1. Poor picture quality

2.  Not enough information

These two reasons have nothing to do about the actual Bagel behind the profile but more so due to the lack of and poor representation. This can and should change! Here are some suggestions to really make your profile “better” so your Bagels will not pass on you for such reasons.

<This is what your profile looks like. The top part is the easy part, so fill in accordingly!>

LET’S FIRST WORK ON YOUR PICTURES! We recommend that you upload at least 3 pictures of yourself that

1. shows your face (closeup)

2. shows what you like to do (maybe a picture of you playing basketball, golf, hanging out with your friends, but all that shows your face too)

3. shows not only your face but also your full body (just to show your height, general vibe you give off)

and you can throw in another picture just to give your Bagels a better idea and to show how attractive you are :) Also, it’s best if you put pictures you took within the last year or two. We’ve seen some people post pictures of themselves when they were back in high school. C’mon it’s most likely you don’t look like that anymore so let’s not give people the wrong impression.

NOW LET’S GO ON TO YOUR DESCRIPTION SECTION. Filling out CMB’s profile is pretty easy because we only require you to fill out 4 sections. Rather than using one word descriptions here are some suggestions to amp up your profile. 

For I AM… (ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY)

– Tell people who you really are and what your friends say about you.

ex> straight talker who cannot hide my feelings, family-oriented, friendly and easy to approach

For I LOOK…(APPEARANCE)

– Something people cannot tell from your pictures

Ex> I am taller than I look in pictures (5’11”), People say I look younger than my age, more of a J Crew kind of guy

For I DO….(WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO)

– tell them what your hobbies, quirks, interest are

Ex> snowboarding and golfing, so I go on trips twice a year, reading the wikipedia, going to the museum, going camping, being spontaneous and taking random day trips

For DATING ETIQUETTE…(I APPRECIATE WHEN MY DATE)

– What are the deal breakers for you?

– What qualities do your man/woman MUST have?

– What makes a perfect date?

Ex> my date takes charge and plans ahead of time, isn’t afraid of going to new places and trying ethnic food on a first date, is comfortable and good at communicating

Not too hard, right? But you see the difference in being a little more descriptive in explaining yourself. If you put yourself on the other side, wouldn’t you feel more confident in PASSING or LIKING your Bagel if you actually read details about him/her?

We hope these small tips and advice encouraged you to review your profile and if you haven’t already add more details to it! Maybe some Bagels in the past passed you because they just didn’t know about you enough. So let’s prevent that from happening from now on.

Let’s step it up members and truly show others who you really are!

I love kids because they have so much love to give. I’m sure that taxi driver was happy for the rest of the day, just because of that short conversation he had with a little child :)

Escape into Opulence

March 23, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC /by CMB

The Frick Collection

Tired of your studio, or your one bedroom flex apartment you share with 2 other roommates? See where the real high class, wealthy, and cultured people used to live back in the days.

The Frick Collection is an art museum now, but was first built in 1913 as Robber baron Henry Clay Frick’s- yes that’s his name- mansion. The Frick Collection holds many traditional painting all from Monet’s pieces to Renoir’s. There’s also a garden court where you can relax and enjoy the quietness and enjoy the spring breeze. Of course it has a fountain, like all great mansions do!

My favorite part of this mansion/art museum is that it is a great wedding venue. You have to be a private member but if you are, this is a choice different from a castle but with the same classy opulence anybody would be in awe of.

'Single' or 'In a Relationship'

March 19, 2012/in CMB Says, From the founders /by CMB

‘Single’ or ‘In a Relationship’… does it really matter which one you put up as your Facebook status?

After reading an article on USA Today I’ve realized both singles and couples get involved in drama over Facebook’s relationship statuses. For singles, it’s a question of whether or not you indicate you’re single on your profile. Does it seem too desperate to say you’re single? Yet you want others to know you’re available, so what do you? For those who are in relationships, is it necessary to report to the whole world that you’re in a relationship? Maybe one person in the relationship wants to make it official by locking the other down on Facebook and the other person can think it’s unnecessary and immature.

Yet, if you are already in a relationship where your close family and friends already know of it, why wouldn’t you announce it on Facebook? It is just a Facebook update, right? I do understand dealing with random people’s comments under the status update can be annoying and time consuming but if your girlfriend or boyfriend really wants to show everyone you two are together why not do it?

I’ve seen so many people talk about Facebook’s relationship statuses and what it meant if somebody didn’t show their true status. I say, the best thing to do is not post your relationship status at all. That will eliminate all drama from the source!

What is your take on relationship status updates?

Acme

March 17, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC /by CMB

Noho’s old time favorite Acme, revamped itself and now it’s a trendy hot spot with the same deliciousness it offered in the past..

“For about 25 years, this downtown space housed Acme Bar & Grill, a raffish Southern joint that hosted rock shows in the basement. It closed in 2011 and reopened in early 2012, gutted and beautified by the ultracool team behind Indochine. A fashion and art-world crowd inhabits the sexy, low-lit, black leather–appointed dining room. The inventive opening menu was conceived by Mads Refslund, an ambassador of New Nordic cuisine and a co-founder of Noma in Copenhagen, voted the best restaurant in the world. Categories on it include “Raw,” “Cooked,” “Soil” and “Sea/Land,” and items change with the seasons. Expect the unexpected in dishes such as sweet shrimp and bison or pearl barley with clams, scallops and artichoke, juxtaposing sweet/salty and bitter/sour elements.” -nycgo.com
