Beware Foodie calls are on the rise in the USBeware Foodie calls are on the rise in the USMove over, booty call - the foodie call is becoming datings next phenomenon.As many as a third of women admitted to going on a date just for the sake of a free meal, an alarming new trend on the rise, according to a new study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science.Two groups of women were broken into separate studies, where they were asked about their personality traits, gender role beliefs, and if theyve ever participated in foodie calls. Twenty-three percent of the first group (820 women) admitted to engaging in foodie call behavior, with some believing it was mora acceptable.Most women from the first study deemed it not acceptable.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreIn the second group, which analyzed 357 heterosexual women with a similar question set, the percentage was actually higher, with 33% admitting to foodie calls.If youre wondering what a foodie call is, its when a person goes on a date with someone but not for romantic interest. The person is more interested in scoring a free meal than extending pleasantries.Coincidentally, those who said they participated in foodie calls scored higher for personality traits linked to dark triad, often associated with psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism.Several dark traits have been linked to deceptive and exploitative behavior in romantic relationships, such as one-night stands, faking an orgasm, or sending unsolicited sexual pictures, said researcher Brian Collison.

Are You in the Networking Hall of Shame

Are You in the Networking Hall of ShameAre You in the Networking Hall of ShameIf youve ever committed one (or more) of these eight networking offenses, resolve to correct them.Lately, Ive been the victim of some pretty pathetic networking. Networking is about sharing information and building trust and rapport, yet lately I feel like some people who want to network with me are doing just the opposite. Here are some of the most common offenses I have experienced.1. Dropping the ball.Someone who I have never met contacted me and asked if we could speak because she was interested in becoming a career coach and wanted to learn more about the profession. She said she could talk anytime it was convenient for me, and we set up a time to speak. About an hour before the call, I got an e-mail from zu sichbei telling me she couldnt make our appointment and asking if she could reschedule. I sent her two alternative meeting times, and she never responded to me.2. Being inflexible. Via a business-n etworking site, a former client asked me and his entire network a professional question about which he was seeking guidance. I told him he could contact me between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. that day, and we settled on 5 p.m.. He e-mailed me at 430 p.m., saying it really wasnt convenient for him to talk on any day until after 6 p.m.3. Not respecting my time.An acquaintance asked for some pro bono career advice, and we set up a time to meet. He called me the morning of our meeting, requesting that we push the appointment back 45 minutes.4. Being lazy. A person I have never met who has worked at the same company I once worked for sent me a canned LinkedIn invitation that read, Since you are a person I know and trust, I would like to connect with you.5. Being pushy. A colleague of mine who is in sales asked me to introduce her to a decision-maker at an event hosted by a professional association. She then proceeded to pitch her companys products and services as soon as she started shaking the pe rsons hand.6. Taking advantage of the relationship.A client asked me to introduce her to one of my colleagues from a previous employer. After the introduction was made, I never heard from the client again until 18 months later, when she lost the contact information for the colleague and wanted me to supply it again.7. Taking too much of my time. A referral from a professional organization asked to speak to me for advice on making a career transition into a role as a human -resources practitioner (my former profession). She asked for a few minutes by phone. She took 45.8. Being a stalker.Someone who I have never met contacted me through LinkedIn and asked me if we could meet in Central Park to chat about her career transition. I opted for a phone call instead.Dont get caught in the Networking Hall of Shame. Try elend to emulate my next appointment (the one who pushed the meeting back by 45 minutes) who is waiting for me in the lobby. People want to help, but you need to network on th eir terms and be respectful of their time.

The Best Cities for Musicians and Careers in Music

The Best Cities for Musicians and Careers in MusicThe Best Cities for Musicians and Careers in MusicLocation, location, location is a mantra in the real estate geschftsleben, but does where you live matter to your music career? Yes and no. The answer depends on what youre trying to accomplish in music and what resources you have. Its Not Just Nashville First, there is definitely such a thing as a music city, and its not just Nashville. There are some cities that are closely associated with some aspect of the music industry, some places are associated with a certain sound or type of music and some cities are music industry centers in that they have an abundance of music-related businesses. There are benefits to being in one of these places, and in some cases moving to a city with a thriving music industry is a must. Consider the following For musicians, if your musical inspiration is rooted in a certain location, then being in that place can be helpful creatively. Some places are known for a certain sound or are significant in the history of a certain genre of music- think of Nashville, Glasgow, Seattle, South Bronx, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans, to name just a few. Not all musicians (or all styles of music) have a mecca city, but if yours does, moving there might be creatively inspiring, and you are more likely to meet up with like-minded musicians and find fans. If you want to work on the business side of the music industry- and you dont want to start your own business?then living someplace where there are music companies is a must. You dont necessarily have to move to a booming music capital, but if there arent ANY music related businesses where you live, where will you work? Before You Pack Your Bags Moving to a music city can be a good thing, but before you hit the road, be aware that there are some downsides Youll be a very small fish in a very big pond. For musicians, that can make getting noticed that much harder- think of London as a good e xample. Sure, there are tons of places to play and a bustling music scene, but that also means there is an overwhelming amount of competition.Likewise, if youre trying to get a music-related job, competition will be fierce.Music industry jobs arent always very well-paid, and the cost of living in many (in fact, most) music industry centers is quite high. Whats the Alternative? OK, so then what are the alternatives? If you live far away from a city with a thriving music scene, then youll need to create your own. For musicians, this means reaching out to other musicians in your area and working together to put on shows, trade contacts, and more. If youd like to work on the business side of things, this means starting your own business and working with the musicians in town to develop opportunities together. Youll also need to take full advantage of the social networking opportunities to reach out to other people working in the music industry and develop relationships online that y ou might develop in person if you lived in a music industry center. The bottom line is that many people with music careers do not live in music centers, and moving to one isnt a must. But you do need to work hard at developing your own opportunities and use the internet and social media to make business connections that arent in your backyard.?
