Online Dating Profile Tips

In this video, Kipici Talk (by Canada dating service Kipici) provides some online dating profile tips through an interview with Dr. Stacey MacKinnon, an Assistant Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Prince Edward Island. There were only three episodes of Kipici Talk produced in 2010 and the show hasn’t relaunched this year. The style is a bit “jittery” with purposeful “shakey” camera moves and switching between black and white and color, which distracts from the message of the show.
