It seems to be almost a daily occurance now to hear 'lookey likey' bellowed across the office. We often stumble across MSFer's who have just a hint of that glamorous celeb look about them. So just for fun, we've hand picked a few for you to see what you think... can you tell the MSFer from the real celeb? <img class="" alt="Brian McFadden" hspace="40" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/080905brianmcfadden.gif" /><img class="" alt="David" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/080905david(mcfadden).gif" /> Brian McFadden or <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/detail.php?|=zqrqrcdijefqr">David</a>? <img class="" alt="Lee Ryan" hspace="40" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/080905lee_ryan.gif" /><img class="" alt="Rob" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/080905rob(ryan).gif" /> Lee Ryan or <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/detail.php?|=zstqropopefop">Rob</a>? <img class="" alt="Russell Crowe" hspace="40" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/080905russell-crowe.gif" /><img class="" alt="Nick" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/080905nick(crowe).gif" />  Russell Crowe or <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/detail.php?|=zopopmnghopst">Nick</a>?

Long after their first date (involving sausages, mash and bean-bags!), all went to plan with their small, beach wedding in South Africa. We feel fortunate, not only having a photo of the ring, but a photo of their happy day too.                                      <img class="" alt="" src="http://images.mysinglefriend.com/blog/static/T&R_120.gif" /> Thanks so much for staying in touch guys.

Try the 10 day test I'm sometimes approached by MSFers who are concerned they're not getting enough attention.  However, when I look at their accounts I can see that they aren't sending any messages! This is so frustrating! There's just one simple rule when it comes to your inbox folks - one needs to send mail to receive mail. How else will someone find you? So, if you find yourself wanting more attention I'd like you to set yourself a tried and tested task.... 10 messages to 10 members for 10 days, simple! I guarantee that sending 10 messages, to 10 members for 10 days will improve your experience. This exercise will get you used to 'throwing' yourself out there, flex your writing muscles and liven up your inbox activity. If you've been reading my Advice posts, I hope you've now grasped what makes a great <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/advice_dating_dos_and_donts.html">photo</a> and you've considered what to write in your opening <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/advice_dos_and_dont_vol_2.html">message</a>. Have a read of my general <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/helping_msf_advice.html">advice</a> too, as those tips are pretty useful. The only other thing to do is to actually send those messages! When you perform a search, looking for appropriate matches for you, how many members appear? If you can see no-one (or very few people) you want to send mail to, you need to read these two posts: <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/judge_book.html">http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/judge_book.html</a> <a href="http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/widening_the_net.html">http://www.mysinglefriend.com/blog/widening_the_net.html</a> This 10 day task can greatly improve anyone's time on MSF, I've witnessed it work for many MSFers.

It would appear MSFers have gone marsupial mad lately, with the amount of furry friends we've noticed on your profiles.
