Thanks to all the V’stars who sent me warm birthday wishes! The answer to last week’s game is…28! I just turned 28 years old. The selected winner is GANNON! Congrats to Gannon and gracias to everyone who entered including the gentleman who guessed that I was 37 years old!
YOU ARE UNIQUE…YOU ARE MY V’STAR!
Help me create a more robust community for our V’stars by answering these 5 quick questions for Game Dae Wednesdae:
1. Why do you dig my life & dating advice over other advice out there?
2. Rate 1-5 (5 being highest), how likely are you to recommend this blog?
3. How did you stumble upon Vanae.com?
4. What led you to become a V’star (subscriber) Or, if you’re not a V’star subscriber yet, what would it take to convince you?
5. What do you hope to see here in the future?
Looking forward to your answers!
Love,
Vanae
1) The comments left behind on most of the posts are actually insightful. I don’t know if you’re filtering out the spam and wierd comments, but if you are kudos because it just gives the site such a positive vibe.
2) 4. Amongst my group of friends and, typically…. almost with everybody, I’m usually the guy where every one comes to crying. I always end up being that shoulder, despite trying to put off a cold and unfriendly exterior. Fail. So this site, I would recommend because then now I just point people here, and I don’t get tear stained shirts anymore heh heh.
3) Youtube! Through mr Regisor94. You were mentioned in one of his blogs.
4) To be honest, and I hope this doesn’t sound corny. You and everything you seem to do just gives out a positive vibe that just draws me in. Just the overall positivity and the atmosphere of this site keeps me coming back. Ok yes, corny, but to me it’s true.
5)A chat room? However, I like what I see so far, everything’s been great.
hey kiro,
i’m so glad you’re part of this V’star community. thanks to regisor that you found us!
=)
keep rocking! and being that guy that friends can turn to. thanks for sharing your thoughts!
hugs,
vanae

hmmmmm…
1. Your advice is up to date, witty, and it is always good to her advice from a lady. Also, love your laugh and your very easy on the eyes.
2. would give it a 4, only because I don’t give perfect scores.
3. youtube
4. Hey why not dive in all the way?
5.More interesting advice and some new and interesting first date suggestions?
Ok, feel like I was taken a grad school exam, so I hope that helps.

i appreciate your thoughts. i’m definitely looking forward to making more ‘first date’ videos..
ahh yeahh!
1. you seem very genuine when it comes to helping people. your positive attitude and you being full of life really shines through the blogs and videos. Plus I thought you’re very pretty. =)
2. I would rate you a 5 and i already have recommended you to friends.
3. during the time i was going through a bad break up and i came across your videos on YouTube.
4. not sure why i haven’t joined but i will soon.
5. maybe a chat room. so we can actually speak to you.
p.s. you do not look 28. I guessed 23-24.
thanks dear, my passion is to help people!
chat room would be fun. i’ve been planning to do an interactive video chat room with premium members.
shhh…top secret
=)
i’ll take 23-24, any day.

1. I dig your advice because it got me to move on from being the sideline guy, into a wonderful relationship with someone who actually cares about me and makes me happy. =]
2.I give this blog a 5. I would recommend anyone in the social world should read these blogs. Even if they don’t apply directly to you, there is still a lot of good information here.
3. I actually stumbled on this blog on youtube. I was looking up a video on how to deal with emotional pain (how to survive a break-up). And I found the information so useful I subscribed. =]
4. Like I said before your advice worked wonders for me. So I subscribed on youtube, and then I found out I could gt more out of this blog. So I subscribed here as well. =]
5. I hope to see more awesome advice, and more people being willing to ask for the help they want or need, and not feel shy about it.
i LOVE how you’ve moved beyond the ‘sideline guy’. i’d love to include a testimony for you on how my advice has helped you. so email me soon!
who’s takin all those sexy photos of you?
a very talented man!
thanks for the photos, john!

vanae
1) I’m not gonna lie it’s all about your enthusiasm that you bring to each and every thing, whether it’s a post or video you keep it lively and i think that’s what really keeps people coming back and listening for more.
haa
2)4- I love this thing and have told some people about it, thing is i’m not trying to spread the fact that i need help on these things too much. i know, don’t hate me
3) One night i came back early from a late night adventure with some friends and found myself thinking about the girl i have a crush on in Japan, though about what i could do so she won’t forget about me in the hustle and neon lights of Tokyo. youtube found one of your vids on how to know if she’s interested and you had me from there V.
4)I guess it’s that i just enjoy the style that you present these things to us, and while some of the advice you give is beyond what i’m looking for right now a lot of it still pretains to me and i can identify with that. that and you’re from san francisco
5)How about video conferences yeah? like on skype or something that’d be pretty tight. no lies. Cheers and much love.
-Tom
1) you just have that something that demands one’s undivided attention
2) i probably won’t
3) YouTubing it
4) i’d probably become a subscriber if i got something for subscribing
5) more years to come of that witty knowledge and humor of yours all combined into one
Hey vanae.im new here.so here’s my take :
1)the fact that you videoblog as well make it easier to understand the message that you want to tell us.(i wish i can do that too soon!)your advices are clear and fun to watch.i run my own blog about tips on dating and relationship and i myself am learning from you. yeah,you are that good!:)
2)4 and sure,i’ll even recommend my readers about your blog!
3)through Problogger 31DBBB forum.(still waitng for your reply by the way:)
4)just subscribed and will follow all your updates
5)im hope you’ll have your own national tv show and invite me to be your guest!hehe..wish you the best dear..
hey you,
glad you’re part of this community. i definitely hope to get a TV Show one day as well!
ah yes, what did you have in mind in terms of collab’ing?
V
ive already send you what i have in mind through your contact form.Holla at me back asap.
have a great day!;)
I enjoy your site because itz a proper way to gain perspective about the interesting subject of people, relationships, & life.
As far as your advice, it doesn’t really apply to me very often. Itz still good advice, tho; & priced proper.
I rate your site a 5. I’m bias, tho. I would also like to say that it has just the right amount of pink on it. Just enough to say: hey, pink is important; but not so much that itz girly.
I found a youtube of yours while watching videos on self defense. I found it unusual that your video clip was in the genre I was looking at. I checked it out, & became a fan, from there.
I haven’t actually subscribed because I’m OCD about the word subscribe, & the phrase V’Star. I’m silly like that.
The photography/fashionista stuff is pretty cool. More of that would be easy on the eyes. As fas as the topics, ur doing great.
hey keith,
appreciate the time, you put into your reply. glad you like the fashion/ista fun stuff!
i’ll keep it rockin’ for yah!
don’t be OCD about V’star…it’s BAD-ASS!!
I enjoy your site because I guess its just like the book; Why Do Men Have Nipples? You cover topics and advice that are what most people are asking and wondering. In life, everyone has their own way of telling a story and you do it everyday in your own unique perspective and people love it. You are like the Google of Dating Tips & Personal Development.
I’d highly recommend this blog to others. Even if you’re topics don’t apply to some people, its interesting to hear what you have to say.
Youtube.
V’star, I’m listening.
Continue to do what you do until you run out of gas. And when you do run out of gas, fill it back up. :]
Most importantly, I really admire how you convey the word love in soo many different ways. Love is not only the physical part or the emotional part. Love does not have to include a partner. Love is like breathing. We use it everyday. Love is about Awareness. Love is the education in which we learn everyday in order to be better. Love is you. Love is me. I just admire your way to describing it.
:]
thanks for the support mike! means a lot to me. and i really appreciate what you wrote!

1. I really love this over other advice because you seem to offer a really fresh new perspective on things. Also you seem like a really genuine person that knows how to connect with people regardless of who they are. Plus it’s a free service. You don’t ask people to pay for it so that makes it really cool that you take the time with everyone.
2. a 5 all the way. Lol just went and told a friend to give you a call
3.I came here after watching a few of your awesome youtube Video’s
4.I really loved the variety of articles here also Game dae wednesday is quite interesting
5. You should totally do like a forum so your “V stars” can connect better. Maybe a way they can set up a personal profile on here.
ah, many have requested a FORUM. i’m definitely thinking about it!
=)
thanks C!
i got your email and still reading through!
vanae
1. i dig ur advice over others because you have a way of knowing how to put across your point in a friendly way that isnt female objective, you are able to understand male insecurities while being female and be totaly objective in a “friend” kind of manner.
2.4
3.i stumbled on your site through watching you very insiteful videos on youtube
4.i subscribed because im intrested in when your next video will be online and what the topic/topics will be.
5.more videos and maybe personal profile area were we can add our fav videos and maybe you will be able to get to know your fans better and for the fans to be able to get to know each other.
sorry if my writing is terrible my spelling is crap and i cant keep from switching between txt and norm writing….my bad
Hi Vanae
you must have been mad that the guy said your 37 years old, but that is because your so smart and doing something with your life !! you look about 21 and I e-card you a Happy Birthday hope got it !
Skyler R mix

PS. just when I think I have seen the prettiest and classy and educated,brillant young ladies Another one come into my life and just seeing you your it!
every time Iturn on my computer you are there !!
HEY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME !! I AM OUT OF HERE!!
ha ha ha
5 Star rating. You are awesome and i hope people come to you in good grace. i just hope it’s not too overwhelming, the next thing you know you’ll have one million members and you’ll have a lot of work to do. (than hiring help) The next thing you know, you’ll be on the news than you’ll have an actual TV show. lol not that it’s a bad thing, but a lot to handle at one time. lol i hope the best for you and you are truly wonderful. I do recommend this coach for all people. If you listen to her heart than the following of your own heart. You have the power to change your life for the better.
1. its great advice. it is helping me out with my first date right now.
2. 4
3. i searched “local bands” on youtube and your video about local bands came up
4. im not but i will be when i click subscribe when i go back to youtube…
5. more helpful advice? anything helpful will work
For the most part what I’ve watched from your vids and reading through your pieces they make a good amount of sense. And it has helped me through the time. Plus for the most part it is unbiased.
I came upon your site, while searching on Youtube for dog videos. “Boomer VS cone of shame” is the first video i watched from you and then i looked at the other videos that were attatched to it becuase I am never opposed to bettering myself.
Oh i almost forgot, i’d give it a 5 as far as a rating. The only thing i wish is that all videos would be a little easier to find on here. Other than that its great. And i would highly recomend this to other people.
The reason i became a member, i had a question and thought would be a good idea to get updates from you.
i own at least 3 video blogs and i love to video blog myself and do some crazy stuffs*;-
