How To Get A Boyfriend: 3 Powerful Steps

Hi ladies, i know sometimes you really love a guy and really wonder if likes you because he doesn't even notice you. Well today's discussion will be on how to get that guy of your dream.
Are you Pinning after someone special? Read this now and amp; get your chemistry flowing.
1. Guys Are Cats
The first thing to say on the subject of learning how to get a guy want you is that you need to realize that men are just like cats. Sounds a little weird? Hear me out! Ever seen a cat chase after a toy that is just sitting there? I certainly haven’t. However, when it’s dangled in front of them but still remains slightly out of reach, they literally go crazy for it.
They jump around, chase, sprint and pretty much will do whatever it needs to do to catch this “just out of reach” toy.
Bizarrely, guys are exactly the same. If you are easy to win over or not a challenge and just wait there for a guy to “catch” you, then you can be pretty sure that he’s not going to be that interested in you. But if you are fun, exciting, playful, flirty, just out of reach, then he is going to be a lot more likely to desire and chase after you.
2. Let’s Be Honest For A Second…
The second thing that I have to say on the topic of learning how to get a guy to like you is maybe not something you want to hear… but it’s vital. There are certain attraction triggers that will make guys like you and see you in a totally different light.
Here are the 3 most important:
Are You Healthy? Going to the gym in of itself doesn’t make you healthy. Eating right isn’t the only important factor to being healthy. Being thin is a goal of many women, but again this may not necessarily make you healthier. But combining these 3 things, going to the gym, maintaining a healthy weight and eating right is going to massively contribute to being much healthier.
You see, guys aren’t really looking for a skinny woman, gym bunny or a nutritious eater. They are naturally attracted to someone who is healthy. Being lean is the result of being healthy. So ask yourself, “Am I doing everything possible to be healthy?”
Do You Dress To Impress? The next thing I want to talk about is how you dress. I am absolutely not talking about being fashionable. Being fashionable is certainly fun, but if you are keen to make a guy want you and chase you, then you should think more about dressing attractively to accentuate your good points. I can honestly tell you this as a guy: men just don’t care about fashion nearly as much as women do. As a result, we often don’t even notice the latest trends or what’s hot. So to reiterate, rather than dressing fashionably, dress attractively. The difference is often subtle, but it’s crucial to making a guy want to be with you.
Are you a fun person to be around, a depressing person to be around, or a boring person to be around? The majority of guys don’t want to hang around a girl that’s boring or depressing, no matter how attractive she is. They’d prefer to run a mile, to be perfectly honest.
So when I say that you should be a fun person and a positive person to be around, I don’t mean that you should be some sort of psycho-happy-all-the-time person. I’m saying that you should do your best to see the good in the world and be at least a little bit more positive.
3. Are You Available All The Time Or Do You Have Your Own Life?
The final thing I have to say on getting a guy to like you is that you absolutely need to have your own life when it comes to dating, and even just attracting a guy. Again, this comes down to the fact that guys don’t want what they can easily have (remember the cat analogy above?).
So rather than always being available to hang out with a guy, make sure that you have your own life, interests and fun things to do (and invite him to). This will make you seem way, way more valuable in his eyes.

Who Are Much More Interested in P0*n? ~Survey

How do women really feel about P0*n?

Traditionally, people think that watching hot movies is men’s habit. However, a recent survey conducted by a British s*x toys and lingerie retailer, Ann Summers, produced quite interesting results.
The result shows women are much more interested in porn.
We cannot call them as globally-representative, but it’s certainly a fascinating look at how some women view love, s*x and p****graphy Check out the five facts which have been gathered:
1. P0*n can benefit your relationship, your s*x life.
Couples who watch P0*n together at least once a week reported being more committed and sexually satisfied than those who watched P0*n together less frequently or not at all. Fifty-eight percent of women who watched P0*n with a partner said that it had a positive effect on their s*x life – over half said that it gave them the confidence to ask for what they wanted in bed.
2. The vast majority of women don’t consider watching P0*n to be cheating.
A full 93 percent of participants reported that they wouldn’t consider their partner unfaithful for watching P0*n. As it should be.
3. P0*n helps women escape and de-stress.
Over 85 percent of women reported watching P0*n as a “fantasy escape”. A further 23 percent said it helped them relieve stress and there’s a scientific precedent for that. A study from Carnegie Mellon reports that men who looked at sexy pictures were much less stressed than those who viewed non-s*xual images. Subjects who looked at the sexy images also performed 50 percent better on a math test.
4. Women are making their own amateur P0*n.
Forty percent of respondents had made a s*x tape with their current partner or an ex. (Of course, given the disturbing rise of revenge P0*n, it’s worth remembering that intimate photographs and videos should be made and shared with caution.)
5. Most of P0*n-views are 18-24.
Fifty-seven percent of respondents who reported enjoying P0*n solo belong to this age group.
Do you think the results above are accurate?

7 Rules to Attract the Person You Love

Most times we often love someone but we always want to be sure if they love us back the way we do. So i want you to know that one of the best way we can get to know this is attracting him/her.
Do you wish to attract someone to yourself? Is there a man or a woman that you like and want them to fall head over heels for you? If yes is your answer, then the seven principles of attraction is your key to success. The seven principles of attraction are seven simple ways that will help you grab anybody’s attention and master the art of attraction.
Rule 1- Hide and Seek
If you want a person, never run after them. The more you chase them, the farther they will go away from you. Approach them, let them know that you like them but do not show them how much you want them. More often than not, strong emotions scare away people.
Rule 2- Play hard
Sometimes, playing hard to get works well. Love, in its initial stage is like a run and chase game and the chase is always the most fun part. The more you run away from a person, more curious he will be to catch you and find out the reason behind your running away from them. Men like women who are hard to get and women find those men interesting who have the potential and confidence to turn them down.
Rule 3- Move slow
Once, you get to know the person; do not be all over them. Make sure that you move cautiously and slowly into the relationship. Take your time and let the other person take their time to understand and comprehend things. Sometimes, moving too swiftly can mess things up.
Rule 4- Be on your best behavior While trying to woo someone, be on your best behavior always.
Some people say that love is blind but when attraction is involved, everybody gets an extra pair of eyes. Thus, wear your best clothes, best manners and put on your most charming manners. It will help, certainly.
Rule 5- Air of Mystery
Never reveal your true self. Mystery is an important element of attraction. A person will most certainly stay attracted to you till the time he/she doesn’t completely understand you. Every time you do something which surprises them, they will run after you to understand you better.
Rule 6- Shower compliments Be generous with compliments.
Every person likes to be praised and be around people who like them. Thus, if you want to attract someone, make sure that you compliment them. However, make sure that your compliments do not come across as flattery.
Rule 7- Pinch of jealousy
A little jealousy can really help you in getting a person attracted to you. When you shower all your attention on one person and suddenly, you divert your attention from that one person to another, they will become jealous and would want to restore their position as the most important person in your life. Thus, they will begin to run after you. The seven laws of attraction, if used correctly can really help you in getting that special someone attracted to you within days

Emotional connection; The Number One Thing Women Want In Bed

Agreed, we all want different things in our s*xual lives, but research has revealed one common thing women truly want.
And that is Emotional Intimacy.
During a survey of over 1,000 women, each woman was asked about their best s*x. 96 percent of the women revealed that the best s*x they have ever had was with someone with whom they are emotionally connected.
Other reasons women (and even sometimes men) gave for enjoying s*x include “being with someone I love,” followed by “feeling good about my s*xual abilities” and “when my partner compliments me.”
So what are the top three things women crave?
The survey reveals that the top three requirements for great s*x are physical attraction, emotional intimacy and feeling secure and loved.
This also laid credence to the survey conducted by Durex which revealed that 87 percent of women said the hottest s*x they’d ever had was with someone they knew and trusted, and 95 percent of men said s*x is more fulfilling with an emotional connection.
So it seems the best way to get into a woman’s panties is through her heart.

Factors That Affect The Health Of The v**ina!!!

The Vaginal health is an important part of a woman’s overall health. Vaginal problems can affect woman fertility, desire for s*x and ability to reach climax. Vaginal health issues can also affect other areas of a woman life, causing stress or relationship problems and impacting her self-confidence.
What affects vaginal health?
The v**ina is a closed muscular canal that extends from the vulva (the outside of the female private part area) to the neck of the uterus (cervix).
Various factors can affect women v**ina, some modifiable and some not.
So as for women reading this, here are some of the ways you can alter your vagina health:
1. Unprotected s*x. You might contract a sexually transmitted infection if you have unprotected s*x.
2. Aggressive s*x or pelvic
fracture. Forceful s*x or an injury to the pelvic area can result in vaginal trauma.
3. Certain health conditions.
Diabetes and Sjogren’s syndrome ( an autoimmune disorder) can cause vaginal dryness.
4. Medications and feminine-hygiene products.
Prolonged use of antibiotics increases the risk of a vaginal yeast infection. Certain antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness. Superabsorbent tampons can lead to toxic shock syndrome (a rare, life-threatening complication of a bacterial infection).
5. Birth control products.
Spermicide and NuvaRing (vaginal ring) can cause vaginal irritation. Using a diaphragm or contraceptive sponge might pose a risk of toxic shock syndrome.
6. Pregnancy and childbirth.
If you become pregnant, you’ll stop menstruating until after your baby is born. During pregnancy, vaginal discharge often increases. Vaginal tears are relatively common during childbirth. In some cases, an episiotomy (an incision made in the tissue between the vaginal opening and anus during childbirth) is needed.
A vaginal delivery can also decrease muscle tone in the v**ina.
7. Psychological issues.
Anxiety and depression can contribute to a low level of arousal and resulting discomfort or pain during s*x. Trauma such as s*xual abuse or an initial painful s*xual experience , also can lead to pain associated with s*x.
8. Getting older.
The v**ina loses elasticity after menopause (the end of menstruation and fertility in women).
9. Hormone levels.
Changes in your hormone levels can affect your v**ina. For example, estrogen production declines after menopause, after childbirth and during chest-feeding. Loss of estrogen can cause the vaginal lining to thin (vaginal atrophy) making s*x painful. So often go to your doctor atleast quarterly to do vagina check, to ascertain your vagina health.

3 Secrets To Get Him In The Mood!

Alot ladies are always shy to take the first step in order to avoid being misinterpreted or desperate, but sometimes you as a lady have to be the leading actor in your relationship or marriage. So many marriages and relationships break down due to lack of responsiveness in their s*xual desires, everyone is too shy to take the lead, but surely if you as lady can take the lead, your man will always follow. A guy may share his s*xual fantasies or secrets. He may even question his own desires, especially if they’re not conventional. But here are some s*xual secrets and insight into male desires that’ll get any man excited!
SECRET #1
Men are visual. We are pushed by what we see. Your man may sometimes wants to sit back and enjoy the show. This can mean watching you dance seductively, caress yourself, and truly bring yourself pleasure. Make some noise. Moan. Talk dirty.This shows him that you’re comfortable with your body, tell him you’re not some uptight prude who’s afraid of letting loose and feeling good. Remember, your turn-on is his turn-on. If you can let go of your inhibitions and enjoy your own pleasurable caresses even pretend that no one is watching, he’ll get hot and bothered and enjoy the challenge of having to wait until it’s his turn to do the touching.
SECRET #2
an*l s*x. This may not cross either partner’s mind during the first few rounds of heated passion, and it may not be something you want to experience with someone in the early stages of dating. But sooner or later, when you’ve established some level of commitment or consistent relationship with a man, he’s ready for some variety. A man should know to be gentle, and if he tries to make his way into the other side with a little too much force, just ask him to take it more slowly. Any decent, normal guy does not enjoy pleasure if it causes a woman pain. In fact, your pleasure is usually his biggest turn-on. Most of all, relax. That area is charged with sensation; if you just let go, and tell yourself to leave reality outside the bedroom door and let your instincts and desires lead the way, you just might like what he has to offer.
SECRET #3
Be the woman of his dreams; literally. Wait until he’s asleep, then make your move. Trust me, no matter how soundly he is sleeping, there is one body part that will definitely perk up when you touch it. He’ll be putty in your hands. The experience may be a bit surreal for him. He may never fully awaken, but he’ll love his sexy dream and its leading actor is you! If it’s late and dark and he’s sleepy, he may not be certain of where sleep ends and reality begins, but let him revel in this sleepy fantasy. He’ll appreciate your initiative and awaken the next day with a satisfied smile on his face. Try this sometimes, you might need it to save your relationship/marriage.......
Merry Christmas!!!!!

10 Reasons Why You Should Not Have s*x Before Marriage

The world is fast becoming a very s*xual world, one might wonder if there still the need for abstinence or even if there are still any virgins.
Better still, there are still various benefits of staying away from sex till marriage.
Here are 10 reasons to wait till marriage.

1. s*x is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic power, s*x is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. s*x is the same kind of powerful force. s*x is a gift from God to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in creating a deep companionship with one’s spouse and for procreation of the next generation. But if you play with this powerful force outside the bounds of marriage, it destroys you and those close to you.
2. s*xual activity for young people arrests their psychological, social and academic development. Studies show that when young people engage in premarital s*x, their academic performance declines and their social relationships with family and friends deteriorate. This is because adolescents are too immature to deal with the explosive s*x drive and it tends to dominate their life.
3. The majority of women cannot enjoy s*x outside of the bonds of marriage. The development of a fulfilling s*x life needs the security and peace of the marriage bond. Premarital s*x usually takes place sneaking around in hidden places dealing with the fear of being caught, the fear of pregnancy and feelings of guilt. All these (worrisome) factors undermine pleasure in premarital s*x, most especially for women.
4. Virginity is to be given to the most important person in your life, the person you committed yourself to stay with forever in marriage. Your virginity is the most precious thing you have to give to your spouse. Once you lose it, nothing in the world can bring it back. Don’t lose something so precious in a thoughtless way.
5. Those who engage in premarital s*x run a high risk of contracting one of the many venereal diseases rampant today, as well as losing their fertility. Not just AIDS, but other common disfiguring diseases like herpes have no cure.
6. Some venereal diseases have no symptoms and many couples discover many years later that they became infertile because of these diseases. Infertility experts estimate that 80% of today’s infertility is due to venereal diseases contracted before they married.
7. The best and only method that guarantees 100% against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases is to wait for marriage to have s*x and maintain fidelity in your marriage.
8. Premarital s*x breaks the 10 Commandments given by God. The 10 Commandments are given to man by God to make man happy. They are not outdated and they are not restrictive. If we follow these laws, we can create happy and prosperous lives. If we don’t follow them, we will pay a heavy price in divorce, disease, abortions, illegitimate children and loneliness. Modern men make a big mistake when they think that they can break these eternal laws and not suffer consequences.
9. Premarital s*x runs the risk of conceiving illegitimate children. Numerous scientific studies show that the children of single mothers suffer psychologically and are less successful socially and academically than children from intact families. Above all, children need both their father and their mother. It is wrong to risk having children who will never have their father’s love, protection and care.
10. If you date and you don’t have s*x, you can forget about that relationship when you stop dating. But if you have s*x with those you date and then break up, the nature of s*xual involvement creates strong, often unpleasant memories for your whole life. Every relationship you break up where you had intimate relations is like a mini-divorce. The psychological difficulties of these mini-divorces does damage to your character. Later, when you are married and go to bed with your beloved spouse, these unpleasant memories will accompany you. True love waits. If a boy or girl truly loves you, they will want the best for you. They will not want you to suffer fear of disease, unwanted pregnancy and the psychological difficulties of premarital s*x. They will want to experience love with you only in the very best place of all – the love nest of marriage.

Be The Type Of Lady Men Can't Resist!!!

Heart-breaks this days are normal part of ladies life, but i believe knowing a way to avoid this will help a lady through. So ladies, prepare yourselves to find out what men find attractive in a woman, what they appreciate and what can be a complete turn off. Though, it is very hard to know what men think, because each individual has his own perspective about life and about how things should be but after few research and i found out what were the types of lady men were most attracted to and, therefore find irresistible.
Are you prepared to find out? Perfect! Let’s get started!
1. The Best Friend
Everyone love the great feeling of being with their best friends, because it create an atmosphere of freedom and safety, this is also applied in relationship too. Many men including myself would love our lady to be the one to whom we can share our concerns with ease, safety and expect unconditional support. The freedom and safety to share with our partner help to build trust and thus that irresistible feeling. It is very important for partners to share their issues and try to solve them together.
2. Independent Woman Nobody likes liability, believe me everyone Appreciate asset and same is applied in relationship. Men don’t like women who depend on them completely. We love ladies that know what they want in life, ladies that have ambitions, aspirations, dreams and career. Pursue your own dreams, you have them before you met him and have to continue to pursue it. 3. The Sweet and caring Most men feel attracted to women that are sweet and caring. They also love a good sense of humor, so, if you are one of those ladies that know how to handle problems with a big smile on your face, you’re just perfect! Also, what better way to face an embarrassing situation than with a funny joke up your sleeve? 4. The Pressure Free Lady Most men tend to react badly when it comes to pressure. They don’t like to be forced to do things they don’t enjoy. Our advice would be to allow your man some privacy. We all need our alone time once in a while. So it would be better not to call him or send him texts every hour. 5. Miss Equality If you are one of those women that think that men and women are equal, you’re just a sweet treat for most of men. They love a woman that has the same rights and responsibilities as them and that just don’t take chivalry for granted. We no longer live in an era where only men should provide for the well-being of the family, we live in one where women work hard because they want to have a successful career. 6. The Voice of Reason According to men, wise women are very attractive. Why? Because they are mature, they know what they want and they say what’s on their mind. Moreover, maturity helps you deal with some bad situations calmly and wisely, without there being any need for drama. However, this type of woman is also the one that says what she doesn’t like and when she sees a bad behavior, she will speak her mind, because she wants to change things for the better. 7. The Sexy Lady Sexy without being trashy – this is what men find physically attractive. All women have parts of their body that they like and parts they hate. So, it would be better to highlight your best physical assets in a sexy, yet lady-like manner, because you would not like for your man to feel embarrassed by other men’s comments. Men love women that behave and dress like a lady. 8. The Well Mannered Woman Nothing is more embarrassing than a dinner with your significant other’s family where you make a fool out of yourself. This is definitely a turn off for men, as it is for women. So, a good and well mannered lady will always be a better option than one lacking style. 9. The Best Supporter Ladies, your men would love your unconditional support. They like to be complimented on their looks and achievements, so, if you wish to keep the harmony in your relationship, you know what to do. They will surely appreciate your initiative, we bet! 10. The Great Personality Lady Men are not only attracted by looks, they are also attracted by women with a great personality. Be yourself and impress your partner with your creativity and intelligence. They love smart women that know plenty of things and can carry a conversation on different topics. This way, your dates will be amazing and unforgettable!

Secret Things Men Find Sexy About You

Exposing your whole body does not mean men will necessarily be attracted to you. There are things that men really love that will attract them to you that even yourself might not notice how important it is.
There are various qualities that have nothing to do with your look, still radiate s*x-appeal and sensuality.
Your appearance is only one of the most important things spotted by men. However, there are also other factors that seem extremely attractive and sight-holding. The surface is not everything. It is essential to work on other aspects of your personality to make sure you steal the heart of your dream man.
Here are few secret things men find amazing in a lady. Take note of them all and turn yourself into a real treasure for all guys.
1. The Way You Walk
Use this secret weapon to flaunt your s*x-appeal. Hip-swinging is no longer necessary. Instead, stay confident and wear shoes that make you comfortable. Make sure you skip wearing killer heels that challenge your walking skills.
2. Your Voice
Men have a special sense to distinguish different voices. Whether your voice is soft and gentle or more smokey, your cutie will definitely love it once you are natural. Use different tricks to manipulate your voice and make yourself even more attractive.
3. Your Laugh
Your laugh is unique as a fingerprint. The more you show it off, the more attractive you’ll become. Men find it ultra-sexy if you have a feminine and ear-pampering laughter. Try to avoid awkward laughs.
4. The Way You Smell
Perfumes can only add an extra s*x-appeal boost to your look. However, men are fond of your natural smell. This clearly has something to do with pheromones as numerous studies demonstrated. Keep the perfume use low and rely on the power of bath and body lotions.
5. Your Adventurous Side
Show off your confidence and trust in your partner by being up for various activities. Men are attracted to women who are not afraid of experimenting new things, welcoming new ideas and have the courage to fail if that’s the price for acquiring unique experiences.
6. Your Wit
Flaunt your wit each time the situation allows it. Men are love confidence and at the same time, funny answers and lines. Shyness is not always the best means to conquer the heart of the opposite s*x.
7. Your Dance Style
I made this last because it is less significant, but if you must dance or you are the dancing and "clubbing" type, make sure you don’t overdo your dance moves and maintain your flirty allure. Guys are simply mesmerized by a feminine or cute dance style. There’s no need to learn a choreography to win his heart, instead rely on your sense of rhythm and keep it cool!

You Are What Your Father Eats

The Mothers might get all the attentions for child birth. But a recent study led by McGill researcher Sarah Kimmins suggests that the father's diet before conception may play an equally important role in the health of their offspring. It also raises concerns about the long-term effects of current Western diets and of food insecurity. The research focused on vitamin B9, also called folate, which is found in a range of green leafy vegetables, cereals, fruit and meats. It is well known that in order to prevent miscarriages and birth defects mothers need to get adequate amounts of folate in their diet. But the way that a father's diet can influence the health and development of their offspring has received almost no attention. Now research from the Kimmins group shows for the first time that the father's folate levels may be just as important to the development and health of their offspring as are those of the mother. Indeed, the study suggests that fathers should pay as much attention to their lifestyle and diet before they set out to conceive a child as mothers do. "Despite the fact that folic acid is now added to a variety of foods, fathers who are eating high-fat, fast food diets or who are obese may not be able to use or metabolize folate in the same way as those with adequate levels of the vitamin," says Kimmins. "People who live in the Canadian North or in other parts of the world where there is food insecurity may also be particularly at risk for folate deficiency. And we now know that this information will be passed on from the father to the embryo with consequences that may be quite serious." The researchers arrived at this conclusion by working with mice, and comparing the offspring of fathers with insufficient folate in their diets with the offspring of fathers whose diets contained sufficient levels of the vitamin. They found that paternal folate deficiency was associated with an increase in birth defects of various kinds in the offspring, compared to the offspring of mice whose fathers were fed a diet with sufficient folate. "We were very surprised to see that there was an almost 30 per cent increase in birth defects in the litters sired by fathers whose levels of folates were insufficient," said Dr. Romain Lambrot, of McGill's Dept. of Animal Science, one of the researchers who worked on the study. "We saw some pretty severe skeletal abnormalities that included both cranio-facial and spinal deformities." The research from the Kimmins' group shows that there are regions of the sperm epigenome that are sensitive to life experience and particularly to diet. And that this information is in turn transferred to a so-called epigenomic map that influences development and may also influence metabolism and disease in the offspring in the long-term. (The epigenome is like a switch, which is affected by environmental cues, and is involved in many diseases including cancer and diabetes. The epigenome influences the way that genes are turned on or off, and hence how heritable information gets passed along). Although it has been known for some time that there is a massive erasure and re-establishment that takes place in the epigenome as the sperm develops, this study now shows that along with the developmental map, the sperm also carries a memory of the father's environment and possibly even of his diet and lifestyle choices. "Our research suggests that fathers need to think about what they put in their mouths, what they smoke and what they drink and remember they are caretakers of generations to come," said Kimmins. "If all goes as we hope, our next step will be to work with collaborators at a fertility clinic so that we can start assessing the links in men between diet, being overweight and how this information relates to the health of their children."

8 Things Women Want In Bed

Just about every sexist cliché will tell you that women are hard to please, both in and out of the bedroom. It’s not that women are hard to please; it’s that women know what they want. Unfortunately, not every woman feels entirely comfortable expressing her s*xual desires. Some women fear judgment, others are more guarded, and still others are asking in less obvious ways that often go unnoticed. Take a look at the 8 things women want in bed;
1. Be passionate
Sure, there’s a time and a place for romance and gentle lovemaking, but what your woman really craves is raw passion. Want her. Take her. Kiss her hard. Make no apologies for how desperately you need all of her.
2. To be heard
Make no mistake, women know exactly what they like in bed. Be the kind of s*xual partner who will eagerly respond to her guidance on how best to please her. Just know that your efforts will be rewarded.
3. Show your pleasure
Allow your facial expressions, body language, and verbal cues to give her insight into what gets you hot. Remember, turning you on is a major turn-on!
4. s*xual intimacy
She wants to tell you her deepest, darkest naughty desires so the more open you are about your bedroom fantasies, the more open she’ll be with hers.
5. Focus on her whole body
There are more than a few places on a woman’s body that can bring her pleasure. While the old stand-by’s are tried and true, try focusing on the whole of her body rather than some of its parts.
6. Verbal affirmation
According to a survey, 44 percent of women are turned on by a simple, “I love you” while “You’re so hot!” does it for 26 percent of the ladies.
7. Dirty talk
Engage her naughty side and tell her exactly what you’re thinking. Tell her what you want to do and then do it!
8. Be a good companion
Women enjoys good companions, not necessarily everytime you are always thinking about sex. Keep her company, tell her sweet and loving stories. She will love you more that way. Enjoy your relationship

How To Maintain Feminine Hygiene

As a lady your personal hygiene is paramount. Your Beauty does not only come from your outer appearance or dressing up in the trendy ensembles. Real beauty lies in maintaining personal hygiene and being healthy from inside. Maintaining feminine personal hygiene not only helps a lady to battle infections and detrimental diseases, but it creates an aura of freshness and confidence. So, dear ladies, just spare a few moments to look through the following 7 tips of maintaining personal hygiene.
1. Bathing
Taking a shower regularly is essential in order to expel the dead cells that accumulate on your skin. Shower with gel or a soap, which will not be harsh on your skin and maintain its pH balance. Also, it is best to use lukewarm water while bathing.
2. Care for feminine area
While you must be cleaning your intimate area everyday thoroughly with douches (feminine wash) and cleansers, the fact remains that the natural discharge is a self cleanser in itself. It protects your feminine area from bacteria and infections. Excessive use of soaps and cleansers on this area can slowly hamper its natural protective barrier, thus making it vulnerable to infections and irritation.
Therefore, it is advisable only to cleanse the external part with mild soap and warm water and not attempt to clean the internals at all.
3. Care during menstruation
In order to feel fresh and stay healthy and odourless during this time, changing your sanitary pads and tampons frequently throughout the day is important. Use of douches or perfumed products during this time of your cycle is again a strict no-no, as your reproductive tract is built in a way to cleanse itself on its own. Avoid wearing a sanitary pad or tampon for more than eight hours
4. Comfortable clothing
Tight clothes and synthetic fabrics reduce air circulation to your feminine area. Wear panties or underpants made from soft, breathable and natural fabrics like cotton. These would allow air flow and will prevent your vaginal area from developing yeast and bacterial infections. Also, avoid wearing wet or sweaty underpants for a long time, especially during the night. These increase chances of odour and infection.
5. Avoid using washcloth
Do you use your toothbrush for any other purpose apart from cleaning your teeth? Or, do you use the same toothbrush everyday without cleaning it first? Well, same goes for the things that come in contact with your sensitive areas. If you use a washcloth or loofah to scrub your body then do not use the same to clean your feminine area. These washcloths have a tendency to retain bacteria in them. Even if you are using a washcloth for your intimate area, make sure it is meant only for that purpose and it is cleaned regularly
6. Taking care of your diet
You should have a diet that is rich in fruits, green leafy vegetables and whole grains. Yoghurt is another common food that is a great source of good bacteria, which keeps your feminine area healthy. It also prevents yeast infections. Garlic is an ingredient that also keeps you away from yeast infection. It also helps in getting rid of bad odour in the vaginal area. Water is very essential as it not only keeps you hydrated but also helps to flush out toxins. Cored from bollywoodshaadis

How To Eat And lose weight

We spend our days sifting through the latest research and asking super-toned celebrities about their workout secrets. At the end of the day, though, peeling off the pounds is just as challenging for us as it is for anyone else. The following diet tricks aren’t always easy to stick to, but they’ve worked for us, so we recommend them. Portion control: This isn’t about measuring; it’s about ordering two appetisers instead of an entrée and cutting back on bread if you have pasta.
Stash fruit: Keep fruit at work. It helps during the I-need-chocolate part of the afternoon.
Set limits: In the cafeteria, I use a 4-by-4-inch lunch box, and I put whatever I want in there. It’s almost impossible to overeat.
Floss for dessert: Brushing my teeth after dinner makes me less likely to eat again before I go to bed.
Avoid liquid calories: Cut out drinks with calories — juice, lemonade, and, hardest of all, after-work wine.
Pitcher this: Fill a pitcher with water and cucumbers. It’s pretty and it feels like a treat.
Set aside leftovers: Serve yourself, then immediately pack the leftovers in a container and store in the fridge. Source: health.com

Beware of Your foods and drinks

This is the age of eating ‘green’, as everybody has been told that in order to save the environment and elongate our lives in sound health we must go green and eat more natural stuffs. Great talk! But the problem here is that in recent times, the market has been saturated with all sorts of beverages and foods that are more likely to harm the body than benefit it. At bus stops, in commercial buses and in upscale supermarkets, these goods are there, complete with sales persons who offer unsolicited counseling, never mind that the majority of them (if any) has no background in diet and nutrition; they just parrot what their employers teach them to say. The presence of these products in the Nigerian market is of utmost concern, especially because people are being deceived that they are eating healthy when, in fact, they are not. Here are what to watch…
Drinks
There are many ‘health’ drinks out there with absolutely nothing on the containers to inform consumers that these are the ingredients that make up what you are drinking. And when there is a list of ingredients, the majority of them are crafted in technical jargons that even an educated reader is unlikely to understand, while the ingredients may be as many as 20! Knowing what the average consumer is likely to fall for, manufacturers sometimes say their health drinks contain vitamins, probiotics and even fibre, but how this affects your health should make you worry a bit.
A nutritionist, Dr. Remi Omotunde, warns that if a list of ingredients on any health drink is more than one or two, you should avoid it. Reason? “It’s because any drink with various ingredients is likely to either have added calories in the form of simple sugars; and if it’s sweet but has no calories, then it’s got artificial sweeteners, which are not only bad for health but are likely to make you gain weight,” Omotunde cautions. In recent times, researchers have linked artificial sweeteners with vascular diseases such as peripheral artery disease and aneurysm (an abnormal bulge in the wall of a blood vessel); as well as metabolic syndromes with risk factors including high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance “When it comes to drinks, think simple, drink water, coffee and tea,” Omotunde advises. Store-bought salads Salads are great and it’s absolutely healthy to load up on them. Whether fruit or vegetable salad, you can’t overeat on them. They keep you healthy and also help in weight control. Experts warn that your salad is only as healthy as the dressing you drizzle on it. And that’s why, by the time you rely on store-made salads that are almost always filled with suspicious creams and other dressings you may not be familiar with, then trouble brews. Fitness experts warn that virtually all store-bought salads contain dressings with significant amounts of high fructose corn syrup that can give you non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; a major risk factor for diabetes, heart attacks, and even cancer. The salads also contain heavily refined soybean oil and refined canola oils. “Due to the refining process of both soybean and canola oils, the polyunsaturated component of the oils is oxidised and makes these oils very inflammatory inside your body,” Omotunde warns. And to underscore the dangers of fatty liver, a consultant cardiologist, Dr. Chidozie Okeke says, “Fatty liver causes inflammation in the body. This inflammation creates insulin resistance and pre-diabetes, which causes the body to deposit fat not just in the liver but also all around the organs and in the belly.” He warns that the dangerous belly fat caused by the sugar and starch in our diets creates even more problems by making you to have high triglycerides and low HDL (good cholesterol). “It causes you to have small LDL (the dangerous cholesterol particles that cause heart attacks). In fact, having a fatty liver puts you at great risk for having a heart attack, and most people have no idea they have it,” Okeke laments.
Packaged mixed fruits
Fruits are good, but when it comes to packaged ones, be wary. This is mainly because they are high in calories. Worse still, dietiticians say, they are loaded with sugar-coated pieces, trans fat and refined carbohydrates. Experts say refined carbohydrates are produced when whole plants which are high in carbohydrates are processed in a way to strip out everything but the highly digestible carbohydrate (starch or sugar). “This has the effect of concentrating the carbohydrate and breaking it down so that the body processes it very quickly, generally causing a high rise in blood sugar. It also usually removes the fibre and most of the nutrients in the food,” researchers warn.

Improving Your Blood Circulation

Helping your your blood to circulate well is doing things that can enhance the free flow of your blood. So you can help it flow well by staying away from alcohol and sleeping pills. Get up and walk around every hour or two. It’s important to boost your circulation and keep your muscles moving. When you’re sitting, change your position often. Don’t cross your legs, since that can reduce blood flow. Try compression stockings: Your doctor may recommend compression stockings to help prevent clots. These put pressure on your feet and legs to improve circulation. Deskercise foot pumps: Whenever you’re at your desk or stuck traveling, try to regularly move your feet and calf muscles. Try pumping your feet. While you’re seated, put your feet flat on the floor. Raise your toes in the air while keeping your heels on the ground. Hold for three seconds. Then reverse — plant your toes, raise your heels, and hold for three seconds. Get moving: Regular physical activity is a great way to prevent deep vein thrombosis. It boosts your circulation and prevents swelling. Exercise can also help you keep a healthy weight, which also lowers your risk. Exercise can improve your lung function too, which is key if you’ve had a pulmonary embolism. Stop smoking: If you smoke, now’s the time to quit. Smoking restricts your blood flow and makes clots more likely. Schedule breaks: If you’re at a desk all day, use a timer on your computer or phone to schedule breaks. Set it for one to two hours. When it goes off, get up and walk for a few minutes, then reset the alarm. If it helps, set your timer more often to remind you to stretch your legs and feet and move them around while you’re at your desk. Source: webmd.com

As soon as you are married, you need to keep the boy's character and behaviour behind you. Marriage is a life changing experience for everyone. The transition from bachelorhood to married life is tough for most men and their better halves. You may not realise that something that is insignificant to you might be so important for your wife.

So, here are some characters and habits that you should think about changing as you become a ‘husband’. 1. Stop Coming Home Late: Most times as a guy you might choose to hangout with friends after a heavy day work, which can be a best method of easing out stress but now that you are married get back home early and spend those wonderful time with your wife. She needs it, she need you around to keep her happy. This will help you both to form amazing unbreakable bond. 2. Playing of video games: If you are used to relaxing in front of the television or the gaming console after you get back home from work as most guys will say, it is a habit that you must put an end to except if she enjoys it with you. Better still as a husband you should think about interesting ‘bedroom games’, not those video games. Start paying attention to your wife, unless you want to spend your nights cuddling your television set! 3. No More Constant Contact With Ex! Now that you have made your choice and choose her to be your life partner, you have to disable any form of contact with your ex(s).

Secrets Behind Every Woman’s br**sts

Br**sts! Men notice, admire, imagine and long for. Sometimes women reveal very little, and they muse on what they can’t see. Yet amid obsessing over what guys’re dying to see and touch, we know very little about br**sts as women themselves perceive them.
So in order to find some amazing truth, some female s*x experts were consulted and more than 700 women were surveyed. Everything you need to know is here, and it’s stamped official because it comes from chest owners.
1. Women Don’t Think Men Are Total Pigs About This: Three-quarters of the women interviewed think men’s fascination with br**sts are harmless. Seventy percent assume most guys are b00b men. “I love it when men look at my br**sts,” says Rachel, 23. “It makes me feel powerful, and there’s something carnal about it.” amazing, this is neither a ticket to leer nor an invitation to make crass comments, even in jest. “There’s really no excuse for not being courteous or maintaining eye contact with women,” says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., a s*xual-health researcher at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute and the Men’s Health s*x Professor. So mind your manners, revel in br**sts privately, respect them publicly, and revere the women who bring them into your life. For what would life be without them? 2. Many Women Love Their br**sts More than You Do: Most of the women surveyed consider their br**sts to be key parts of their s*xual identity, as opposed to fashion accessories or other body parts. Sixty-two percent think it’s more exciting to pull off their tops than their bottoms, and 78 percent prefer the woman-on-top position because it shows off their br**sts better during s*x. “A woman should be proud of her br**sts,” says Vicky, 23. “They’re miracles of evolution, as versatile as a Swiss Army knife: baby feeder, pleasure enhancer, compliment grabber.” They often use them to their advantage, too. 87 percent of women they surveyed think women who make an effort to show off their br**sts receive preferential treatment. 3. Women Can Be Deeply Conflicted About Their br**sts: As women grow up, emotions related to their br**sts may set in. “I happen to love my br**sts now, but growing up, it wasn’t always like that,” says Levkoff. The fact that br**sts are ever-changing only complicates matters. The average woman changes cup sizes six times during her adult life. Monthly cycles, birth-control pills, weight changes, pregnancy, and breastfeeding all alter the size, shape, and feel of br**sts. “The sexiest thing a woman can wear is her self-confidence,” says Elisabeth Squires, the author of b**bs: A Guide to Your Girls. “If she’s the least bit insecure, then work to help her feel good about her body.” All you need, she said, was genuine enthusiasm, which probably won’t be a problem. 4. In Bed, You Know Nothing About Them: We men tend to have two “touching” defaults, says Herbenick. “They tend to either touch her the way they enjoy being touched (which usually means firmer or rougher), or the way a previous partner liked it.” In either case, she may not like it that way at all. “Every woman will feel differently about her br**sts,” Levkoff says.
Tips on how to deal: Every time a woman takes off her bra in your presence, wipe away all memory of previous br**sts. This works even if she is your partner of many years. Start over by pretending you’ve never seen them before. “You learn and relearn how someone moans, sighs, and squeals when you touch them,” Herbenick says. “You will never have to slip into an old routine.” 5. Br**sts Can Intensify a Couple’s Emotional Bond: “br**sts aren’t just about s*x,” says Levkoff, “and when you recognize that, we are very appreciative.” Learn to desexualize moments of great intimacy. For example, while you’re sitting on the couch watching TV with her, the simple act of laying with your head on her chest can give a woman powerful maternal feelings toward you (in a good way), says Levkoff.
Another tip: If a woman complains about her br**sts being sore, offer to massage them, says Squires. Again, in a nonsexual way, if you can, that is. “chest massage can feel incredible, and it’s not something we can ask for at the spa,” she says. This are the few amazing tips available for now.

How To Get A Man To Propose To You

Most men, who are willing to get married, just want a happy and easy-going woman who has good values. Want a marriage proposal fast? Then embrace these tips
1. You are not bossy When a man first meets you, and thinks your character trait is OK, he starts to feel he should propose and walk down the aisle with you. However, once he starts to feel like he is in grammar school being told what to do by his teacher, he will take a walk.
2. Don’t play games with his heart Never ever think that being a game player will help you get a man. Though he might be intrigued by a hard-to-get lady in the beginning, as soon as he decides that he is interested in her, all he wants is an honest straight-shooter.
3. Don’t want to change him Some women claim to love a man ‘just the way he is’ but little by little, they want to change everything about him. First, it’s his wardrobe, then, it’s his taste in music. Never attempt to change his friends and his hobbies either.
 4. You don’t get jealous A jealous woman is on edge always because she is very distrusting. Just because you have been hurt in the past, don’t be on guard for anything that looks or feels wrong. When a man first meets such a woman, he wants to reassure her that he is nothing like that guy in her past. However, once she accuses him one too many times, he will have no choice but to leave her because he can’t go through his life being prosecuted for somebody else’s crimes. So, learn to trust.
5. You are not clingy As a woman, you must have something going on in your own life so that you are not always clinging to him. Don’t be too difficult for a man to date, let alone marry. At first, he is flattered that you are so in love with him and wants to be around him always; but very quickly, he feels overwhelmed and suffocated by you.
6. You don’t see him as a father Not all men like to be viewed as a father figure. Initially, he might like how you look to him for approval and the answer to all of your questions, but soon, he realises that he wants to be intimate with a real woman, not someone who is stuck in her teen years trying to get daddy to notice her. 7. Not tied to your mother’s apron strings A man is comfortable with you when he realises you don’t call on your mother always to make a decision on your affair with him. He gets scared the more when you cannot do without getting her opinion on everything.
8. You don’t talk about others always Most guys are turned off when you always love to gossip and talk about other people. Not only that, when you love to hear things about other people as well. Initially, this could entertain him but eventually, he begins to wonder what you are saying when he is not around.
9. You are yourself You don’t have to be everyone else! A lady, who is constantly talking about what other people do and what they have, places a lot of undue pressure on her man. Be yourself, live your size per time and shun pretences.
10. You appreciate his mother/siblings Never make negative comments on mothers-in-law whenever you are around him. Let him know his mother is as special to you just as she is to him. His siblings? Show love to even the nastiest of them all.

Foods That Can Put You In A Bad Mood

Having mood problems? You might be surprised that the foods you’re eating could be the culprit.
1. Grabbing a bagel in the morning sounds like a great idea. However, it will spike your blood sugar and lead to a mid morning crash of the blahs and muddied thinking. Studies have shown that eating refined carbohydrates (like bagels) increased depression up to 60 percent in some people.
2.Too much caffeine gives a swift boost to your energy because it triggers the pituitary gland and causes an adrenalin release. Then the caffeine crash follows. Agitation and anxiety from drinking a vast amount of caffeinated drinks will affect your mood and zap your energy. Try drinking green tea or coconut water when you feel lethargic.
3. Cakes, cookies or a candy bar seems fitting when 3 p.m. rolls around. As you know, the sugar rush will not last and your mood will take a sharp dip, leaving you to crave even more sweets. Try fruit instead.
4. Packaged meats like hotdogs and lunch meats are loaded with nitrates and cause tension headaches, low moods, and can swell your ankles.

Health Update: How turning up the central heating could keep you slim!

Turning up the central heating may cost a few pounds, but it could keep off the kilos. A new study out on Tuesday shows that people who live in warm homes are less likely to be fat and tend to have lower body mass index (BMI) levels than those who shiver through winter. Researchers at the University of Stirling in Scotland have uncovered a direct link between higher temperatures and lower levels of body fat in a 13-year study involving more than 100,000 adults who rely on central heating. They claim It is not just what we eat and how much exercise we do that determines how heavy we are - the temperature at which people heat their homes could have a major impact on whether they can keep to their ideal body weight, the study suggests. In recent years scientists have suggested that warmer indoor temperatures have been a major contributing factor to rises in obesity levels in the US, Canada, UK and Europe. However, researchers from Stirling Management School's Behavioural Science Centre show that the opposite appears to be the case - there is a direct link between higher temperatures and lower levels of body fat. The study used BMI levels to indicate levels of body fat and noted those who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low BMI levels, while people who spend less time with their heating turned up - or on at all - tend to be heavier. Study co-author Dr Michael Daly, a behavioural scientist, said: 'We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to expend more energy through shivering and generating heat through tissues. 'In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when residing in a warmer indoor environment.' The study takes into account factors such as excessive calorie intake and low levels of physical activity, but it is the first to examine the association between indoor household temperature and population BMI levels. Dr Daly said: 'We contrasted BMI levels for people living in different temperature groups in England and found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit (23 degrees Celsius), which was reflective of about 15,000 of the households studied. 'This research suggests the obesity epidemic could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels, or off, for lengthy periods to cut costs. 'This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level. The study took age, gender, social class and other factors into account. 'The comfortable ambient temperature of 68.5-73.4 degrees Fahrenheit (20.3-23 degrees Celsius) is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot, nor cold. At temperatures above this we expend more energy and we eat less because our appetite is suppressed.' The study is published in the international science journal Obesity.

The Girl child pay the price for Daddy's rugged good looks!

Marrying a tall, dark and ruggedly handsome man may be every woman’s dream – but it could be bad news for any daughter they produce. For she is likely to inherit some of her father’s macho traits, a study shows. Scientists say that children who have beautiful parents have up to a 70 per cent likelihood of being attractive too. But while a good-looking woman who has children with a macho man may well produce eye-catchingly handsome sons, the attractiveness of any daughter may suffer as some of her father’s manliness would be passed on. ‘If you want to have good-looking kids you should marry someone who is good looking. That would be the simplest analysis,’ said researcher Professor Tim Bates from Edinburgh University. But he added: ‘If a woman was picking a mate who seemed very attractive because he was very masculine, she would be possibly making her sons more appealing but equally making her daughters less attractive. ‘Which means probably women won’t evolve preferences for highly masculine men because there as many costs as there are benefits in their children.’ The international study, published in the journal Behavior Genetics, involved 1,580 people aged 15 to 22 in the US and Australia having their looks assessed by eight judges. It concluded sons and daughters both get good looks from good parental genes. ‘There is the popular misquotation of Shakespeare that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ Professor Bates said. ‘If that was true then you might think those eight judges would prefer totally different people, but in fact they were agreeing 90 per cent of the time on the ratings.’ ‘Inherited attractiveness could be a whole range of things from healthy hair, healthy skin, to symmetrical face, and height. ‘It’s a mixture you are passing on. Some things that make for attractiveness, such as being symmetrical is a good thing, and if you pass on symmetry that will make your children similarly attractive to yourself. ‘But some things are valued in one sex, and either not valued or actually not liked in the other. ‘Very masculine fathers will be passing that “masculine look” on to their daughters, and that won’t help when people come to rate their attractiveness.’

Ideal Ways To Get A Man To Do Anything You Want

No more nagging! Kill ‘em with kindness, bring backup, and more foolproof ways to get what you want. How do you get a guy to give you what you want? Here’s a hint: No more nagging. Avoid fighting, complaining, shouting, tears and pouting. Seriously; all it takes is some sweet old-fashioned charm like only a woman could give (we swear!). From buttering him up to leaning in for a long kiss before you ask him to clean the apartment, we’ve mastered the skill of getting your guy to just about anything.
1. Don’t Fear The Damsel In Distress Act “Whenever I want a guy to do something, I put the sweet on and act innocent. I’ll do just about everything except bat my eyelashes — but it works! Even though I’m not naïve, I’ll act that way and put a little extra sugar on everything I say and do toward him,” says Erin.
2. Bring Backup “My boyfriend loves surprises (even though he’d never admit that), so I always come prepared. If I want him to go out with me and my girlfriends one night, or if I want him to help me clean the apartment, I make sure to stop and pick up something that he’ll really love — or something that he’s been hinting that he wants. There’s no arguments, no huffing and puffing — just a little surprise and then he’s in my pocket,” says Lisa, “Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than that.”
3. Make Him Think The Idea Was His “My mom let me in on a secret when my husband and I first started dating. She said that the best way to get through anything was to make him think it was his idea. You’ve got to be coy, but whenever I want Jed to do something,” says Hannah, “I make sure he thinks he came up with it — even if he knows he didn’t. The fact that I’m conceding (and letting him think he’s won) is the best way to get through everything.”
4. Go Old School “Call me crazy, but I just ask nicely — like, really, really nicely. If my guy knows that it’s important to me, I just tell him how important it is and then I promise to make it up to him afterward,” Tara says, “How could a guy say no to that?”
5. Kill ‘Em With Kindness “Oh,” says Morgan, “I make sure to butter him up well before I ask him to do anything. So it doesn’t look too obvious, I’ll start much earlier in the day and just make him feel really good about himself. Then, when he’s all buttered up, I’ll let him know that we’re going to spend the weekend with my parents! How could a guy get pissed at a girl who’s just spent the whole day giving him what he wants?”
6. Lean In… For A Kiss “There’s nothing sweeter than a long kiss before asking for something,” Meagan jokes, “It’s kind of my way of saying ‘Yes, I need something from you, but I’m not gonna fight you for it.’ I think a guy can appreciate that — and uh, who doesn’t love a hot, steamy kiss?”
7. Give One, Get One “I go first,” Brittany says. “I’ll make dinner for my husband and then he’ll take the lead and clean up — without me having to nag. Or I’ll buy him dinner and then the next time we go out for a date, he picks up the check. I think by seeing me take the initiative first, he’s more likely to realize that he wants to do something nice in return. It’s give one, get one, but for relationships, ha!”

20 Questions To Ask A Potential Spouse

So, here are 20 questions to ask a potential spouse. These are just suggestions, and by no means should all of them be asked on a first date. If a question doesn’t feel right to you, then don’t ask it. Or, just replace it with one that is not on the list. The point is to get singles who desire to be married to think carefully about what’s important to them and then to have open communication about these issues before marriage. There are plenty of married and divorced people who wish they had asked the tough questions before saying “I do.”
1. Do you have any life-threatening or incurable diseases?
2. Do you have any children? If so, how integral are they in your life?
3. What are your short term and long term goals?
4. What does financial stability mean to you?
5. What is your relationship like with your parents?
6. How often do you go to church, pray, read your Bible?
7. What gives you joy in life?
8. Do you have a criminal history or record?
9. Do you date men or women exclusively?
10. How many s*xual partners have you had?
11. What do you do when you get angry?
12. Do you have a job? How long have you been working/unemployed?
13. What was your last relationship like? How long ago was it?
14. What are you looking for in a mate?
15. Do you have crazy men or women calling, texting, or stalking you? Should I be afraid?
16. Are there many strong marriages in your family history?
17. What’s the one thing you don’t like about yourself?
18. Do you have any deal breakers for relationships?
19. What do you believe are the roles for men and women in relationships?
20. Do you desire to marry? Now, there are no right or wrong answers per se. It all depends on what you deem as important. If a question matters to you, ask the question. Listen to the person’s words but also watch the person’s demeanor. Finally, pray about the answers you receive and ask God to order your next steps in the relationship. He might tell you to walk down the aisle or He might say walk the other way. You will never know until you ask.

How To Get A Woman To Agree To Marry You

There are many reasons why a woman will accept a man’s proposal. On the other hand, there are many reasons she could walk out on you. Do women call it quits after you have invested all your feelings and all in the relationship?
Here are steps to make her say ‘yes’ You are not hasty Until she sees you as someone she can end up with as a partner, don’t be so eager to start discussing moving in together or having babies. You don’t use bad words, Avoid using bad and derogatory words in the presence of a lady. You observe table manners Do not to lick the plate, burp or avoid using cutlery when eating.
Also it is not very decent to chew and talk at the same time. You don’t come cheap Cheap behaviour has nothing to do with your inability to shower the lady with expensive gifts. It is in the way you react to expenses. Though it is general knowledge that times are tough, worrying over every penny makes you look cheap and a little mean.
You don’t talk about your ex When you talk about your ex all the time, she is bound to come to a conclusion that you are not over her. Also, you may be over her but talking about her shows that you are not taking your girl friend for granted. No woman likes competition. Visible or otherwise. You are not mummy’s boy Your mother definitely has an important role to play in your life. But that does not mean you have to consult her on every decision you make. Once you have grown past the age of 18, your mother should not be buying your underwear or telling you who to date. Moreover, get an apartment and be independent of your parents! You don’t brag always It is a major turn off when you talk about yourself always. Slow down and ask the lady a question once in a while. Engage in conversation that is not focused on your achievements and challenges. You are not artificial Every woman loves a compliment, but if you hand out compliments too often, it will be obvious that you are just trying to get into her good books. It sounds pretentious and women don’t like it. Also, if you don’t agree with what she is saying, you are free to say so. Nodding in agreement to everything is a huge turn-off. You are not socially inept Behave well when you are in public. Say “please” and “thank you”. Have moderate s*x expectations Not every woman can be a tiger in bed. If you are too demanding, she may run.

How to Stop Attracting the Wrong Guy

What man is attracted to a woman who thinks that she’s not worth anything? You need to have the confidence and self-esteem to project dateability.
Everyone has positive qualities, even if they don’t realize it. Okay, so you don’t have a job or you don’t have a degree or you had a bad relationship that doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t be an understanding, compassionate, interesting and fun girlfriend. Everyone deserves a chance to give their best qualities to a partner, no matter their circumstances. You need to remember that you have a lot to offer and soon enough a handsome man will too!
Step 1:
Present a Positive Attitude Now that you’ve figured out that you deserve a happy relationship, you need to adjust your attitude so you can attract one. If you keep expecting to attract the wrong kind of guy, you’re projecting low expectations and a pessimistic attitude about love. So who do you think will be attracted to that? A pessimistic guy who isn’t looking to meet ambitious expectations and who doesn’t want a lot of boyfriend responsibilities. If you don’t present a positive attitude, you’re not going to catch the eye of a positive guy. There’s a quick tip to help keep your attitude positive, especially useful for those of you who hate dating. Approach every situation as though you’re going to to have a good time. Arrive to every date confident that the man on the other side of the table is going to be the love of your life. Because one of these times, he will be!
Step 2:
Figure Yourself Out If you’ve mastered the first two steps and you still can’t seem to land a quality man, there might be a problem with your process. Do you know who you’re looking for? I’m not looking for a list like “Tall, dark and handsome.” Do you know what kind of relationship you want? If you haven’t decided what you’re looking for, how can you expect to find someone who satisfies you? You don’t have to settle for being a jerk-magnet. Use these three steps to change yourself instead of trying to change a dirtbag into a quality boyfriend

Myths That Could Destroy Your Relationship

Modern relationship myths are responsible for many break-ups. If you’re in a relationship, don’t fall prey to these insidious beliefs. They will ruin your chances of long-term happiness. Myth #1: Relationships Are Hard Work When you believe that relationships are hard work, then your love life becomes about as much fun as cleaning the toilets and mopping floors. When you’re in a relationship with your beloved, being together shouldn’t be a chore. Relationships do, however, require attention. Fortunately, when you’re in love, you want to spend time with your mate. When tending to the relationship is a shared goal, then enjoying life together becomes a pleasure and a privilege! Myth #2: Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry Quite the opposite — love means that when you mess up, you apologize. Your partner will see the best of you and the worst of you. They’ll see you when you’re angry, tired, hungry, and sleep deprived. If you are cranky, or worse, nasty, even when it feels like you have a good reason, then say that you’re sorry. You can teach your partner how to apologize by your example. Having a quarrel is inevitable. How you “repair” your quarrel is your choice. So say “I’m sorry” and then have fun kissing and making up. Myth #3: Neither of Us Could Ever Have an Affair You may think that each of you is devoted, moral, and loyal. And yes, you probably both have the best of intentions. However, we all have needs for emotional and physical intimacy. Therefore, if you start to neglect your relationship or develop parallel lives, it’s likely that one or the other of you could start looking for intimacy, even unintentionally, outside the marriage. When you know that an affair is possible, it keeps you motivated to tend to your relationship and make sure that both of you are feeling satisfied. Don’t take your fidelity for granted! Myth #4: Once We Get Married, Then Everything Will Be Perfect If you’re dating or living together, sometimes there is the fantasy that everything will be better if you just get a ring and a legal document of commitment. Then, you think you’ll feel safe, happy, and settled. Unfortunately, relationships don’t work that way. Marriage brings its own array of stresses (financial, legal, etc.) It isn’t a magic pill to fix or improve a relationship. If you can’t be happy together before marriage, it’s unlikely that a ceremony is going to cure what ails you. First, make your relationship great, and then maybe marriage will be in the cards. Myth #5: My Partner Knows That I Love Him, So I Don’t Need to Say It Wrong again. We all need to hear this in multiple ways, over and over again. So tell your partner with words, with love notes, with gifts, with thoughtful gestures, with texts, with phone messages, with hugs, and with healthy relationship habits every day! We are wired to attach to people and we need to know every day that we matter, that we’re appreciated, and that someone has chosen us to be their special one. Don’t assume that your partner is feeling this, show them again and again. An outpouring of love strengthens your bond and ensures that your partner doesn’t feel taken for granted. Improve your relationship education and bust these five myths out of your life. Once you do, you’ll be well on your way to living happily ever after. thehuffingtonpost

Major Distractions Affecting Marriages Today

When you reflect on a few of your major life goals, what do you notice? Do they consist of a better paying job, landing your dream career or do they typically revolve around your love life and having a meaningful relationship? Whatever our goals may be, sometimes they aren’t always easy to achieve.
We often have to overcome certain obstacles in order to obtain what we really want. There are usually personal challenges, or other people’s agendas that stand in the way of our happiness and complete relationship satisfaction. Those things are distractions and prevent us from experiencing true joy in our marriages.
If love, peace and joy are major priorities for our unions, it is important that we be aware of the major distractions that affect our marriages.
1. Selfishness. Too many of us are caught up in our own selfish wants and it diverts the attention away from our partners. Marriage is about putting our spouse first and making sure their needs are met before our own. We must remember that we are not in a relationship by ourselves; marriage is about giving more than we take.
2. Job-Related Stress. The stress that we allow to come home and dwell with us will eventually kill our marriage if it isn’t stopped. The pressure eats away at us causing frustration and resentment that we bring home and share with our partners. It affects our communication, confidence and overall health. When we are stressed by our job, it’s best to allow our spouse to support us, be that shoulder we need to lean on and that listening ear; instead of a punching bag to release on.
3. Other people or a grass is greener mentality. Exes on Facebook who make us feel good, a cute new friendly coworker who shows us a little bit of attention, and those not so real friends who are quick to tell us to walk away from a relationship when there is a small challenge are all major disturbances. The silver lining with this one is that we are still in control. Staying focused on the positives in our marriage leaves little room left for these other diversions.
4. Self-Doubt and Self-Consciousness. Being worried about things like the baby weight we’re struggling to get rid of will result in our not feeling attractive or appealing to our mate. This will ultimately make us shy away from intimate experiences with our spouse. Whenever we feel inadequate we must take action. So if it’s weight let’s work at losing it and changing our diet. But we must keep in mind, we are as sexy as we feel and we must continue to do the things that make us feel good about ourselves.
5. Money or lack of money. Money makes people lose sight of what’s most important. Many couples tend to fight over money, not be completely honest about money and have a secret “just-in-case” account which shows a lack of trust for the other partner. We cannot allow money to have dominion over our relationships. If there is less of it, we have to get creative and be honest and smart with our decisions. But love, health and joy should outweigh money any day. Because our marriages are so fragile today, it is crucial that we remain aware of the distractions that threaten to destroy our unions. Acknowledging the challenge definitely takes some of its power away. I challenge all the couples reading this post, to fight back. With a strong desire and partnership we can overcome any of the above distractions. BMWK

Ladies; Having Male Friend Can Help Heal Heart Break

Having heart break can feel like the world is coming to an end. In real sense only a few things match the emotional tidal wave of a breakup, other than the death of a loved one, there is no other moments in human experience that matches the hurt and despair of the end of what was expected to be an everlasting partnership. It feels like death. Unless you’re one of the rare ones that finds your true, lifelong love on the very first try, you’re going to experience that agony on more than one occasion…and it never gets easier, no matter how old you get.
Most of us have developed our own coping methods and strategies to help us power through those periods, so I won’t bore you with tips you’ve heard a million times. So here’s one consideration you may not have considered on the path to a healed heart: After that split, turn to your best guy friend. Maybe it seems counter-intuitive. After all, it’s easy to turn your nose up to men after a particularly nasty falling out, but who better to assist you in reminding you that there are a bunch of great guys still out there than your best male friend? I see and hear so many women talked about how terrible men are, how all the great guys are taken, how all men are dogs. More often than not, those ladies have few to zero close relationships with guys. I’ve found that the women who do have close platonic relationships with guys seem to have more positive and more optimistic perspectives on men, in general. Think about it. Your girlfriends are more apt to go down the “guys suck” road. You don’t need that. Your girlfriends are more likely to join you on that complaint train. They do it because it’s easy and they want to support you in the easiest way they can. When you’re sullen and down and hiding out at home on the couch with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s watching “The Notebook” for the thousandth time, your girlfriends will be right there to join you. Your guy friend is quite likely to throw a little tough love your way: “Hey! Get up off the couch! We’re going to the movies! This is a no-feeling-sorry-for-yourself zone!” Believe it or not, no matter how manly or macho your guy friend happens to be, when it comes to you, he’s probably as gentle and comforting as a teddy bear.
Virtually every guy has that loving, supportive, sensitive side. It’s not especially cool to show that sensitivity with the rest of the guys, but the dynamic between a guy and a woman who are truly friends is special. He’ll drop everything to listen to you, to comfort you, to support you in a way that’s uniquely special from your girlfriends. Not better – just different. That type of diversity in your support system, as anyone who has ever experienced it knows, is incredibly special and meaningful. Often women overlook the hidden benefits of the close male confidante, perhaps understandably so. Many people still cling to the misguided belief that men and women can’t ‘just be friends.’ The archaic narrative that every guy wants to hook up with every woman around him is still the overriding belief – even among many men. I’m here to tell you— it just ain’t so! The bonds of sisterhood are amazing in their own right, filled with the expected nurturing and support one would expect. But, trust me, the connection between you and you guy friend is one well worth cultivating when you need a breakup pick-me-up.

Foods That Make You Gain Muscle Fast

Some foods quite unknown to majority of people can help increase muscle mass most especially for muscle loving guys. There are some little known foods that aid in gaining muscle fast, especially when paired with the right type of regular exercise and fitness. 1. Mackerel: Mackerel is a delicious fish similar to tuna in a number of ways as they come from the same family. The major advantage of mackerel over tuna is a much higher omega-3 fatty acid content. Omega-3 fatty acids can improve the body’s overall composition, which is key when it comes to building muscle. Other nutrients found in mackerel that promote rapid muscle building include zinc, which allows the body to maintain its testosterone levels. During intense resistance training, the body produces a series of thyroid hormones that allow muscle building. These testosterone levels naturally taper off, especially as exercises get more exhausting as time goes on. Extra zinc in a person’s diet from mackerel and other types of fish like salmon prevent the natural decrease of these thyroid hormones, which allows the body to build additional muscle. Another added benefit of mackerel is that it helps prevent chronic inflammation which generally results as the result of weight training, which allows a person to push themselves harder and longer, which results in a more intense recovery processes and bigger muscles in shorter periods of time. As with all fish, mackerel helps with more than building muscle. Fish of all types help maintain a healthy heart and lower your blood pressure, which are both qualities that reduce the risk of strokes, sudden and catastrophic heart attacks and abnormal heart rhythms. Mackerel can also prevent inflammation, reduce arthritis and decrease the risk of conditions like dementia, diabetes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Alzheimer’s disease. 2. Chocolate milk Many professional athletes actually increase the amount of chocolate milk in their diets during intense workout routines as a delicious alternative to traditional methods like protein powder. The reason why chocolate milk is so beneficial for gaining muscle quickly is because it includes the two main types of proteins: fast digesting and slow digesting. The fast digesting protein in chocolate milk is whey, while the slow digesting protein in the drink is casein. As an additional benefit, chocolate milk has a great deal of sugar, which adds to the overall number of carbohydrates. These benefits actually work in conjunction with one another. The fast and slow digesting proteins aid in muscle building, while the added carbohydrate content allows your body to recover from intense periods of exercise much faster. 3. Vinegar Vinegar is beneficial for building muscle quickly because it allows your body to push the types of nutrients you ingest through your healthy diet directly into your muscles and away from the fat cells get naturally stored in your body. Muscle growth via an increase intake of nutrients is a key part of building a physique both muscular and lean. If the nutrients are absorbed into the fat cells in your body, however, they essentially go to waste and not only makes muscle more difficult to build but make the fat cells harder to burn off. If you’re already eating a meal high in carbohydrates, adding a little vinegar can be a great way to concert additional carbohydrates to glycogen. Glycogen is a key component your body needs to build muscle on a regular basis. 4. Raspberries: Raspberries are an unlikely but pivotal ally to anyone trying to build muscle quickly. For starters, eating raspberries on a regular basis is proven to improve a person’s digestive health. A healthy digestive system allows your body to more efficiently process all of the foods you’re eating during your daily meals, which makes nutrients act in more beneficial ways overall. 5. Water: When people think about the types of things they should be eating and drinking to build muscle as quickly as possible, few actually think of water as a viable solution. What those people don’t realize is that muscles are made up of around 80 percent water, so maintaining proper hydration is incredibly important to not only building new muscles quickly but keeping the ones you’ve already worked so hard for. Studies have shown that if a person’s water composition changes even by as little as one percent, it can dramatically impair their ability to build new muscle even after the most intense workouts. Dehydration both impairs a person’s ability to exercise properly and negatively affects the body’s recovery process. 6. Coffee: Coffee is a great tool in the fight to build muscle as quickly as possible due to its high caffeine content. In addition to healthy foods act as natural fuel for the body, adding caffeine to your diet allows you to work out harder and for longer periods of time, both of which are key factors to building the muscles of your dreams

Things You Should Never Do When You First Start Dating

The genesis stage of your courtship, relationship or whatever you call it when you first start dating is quint essentially the most important time. While you’re excited to have met someone new or actually moving on to a new part of your life, it’s a time where you have to make sure you don’t ruin things by getting too far ahead of yourself. There’s nothing that anyone can do about what goes on in your head about your new dating adventure, but the goal is to keep those things from coming out. Once those thoughts turn into actions, things can go awry or probably put an untimely end to your fantasies. To avoid this take it slowly and one step at a time. To help you get going with your new relationship, here are the Four Things You Should Never Do When You First Start Dating: 1. Facebook friend him/her: Going on to immediately to add your new partner can feel like stalking because it seems as though most people’s first reaction to meeting someone and finding out their last name is to immediately “friend” them on Facebook. After the friendship is complete, ladies go straight into the men pictures looking for any recurring faces… like his ex-girlfriend and the men too, go straight into your pictures looking for Spring Break pictures. Both of these are wrong, it immediately leads to development of odd feelings putting end to what has not really started. Facebook is a great social networking tool, but it shouldn’t replace good old-fashioned getting to know one another. 2. Follow him/her on twitter: Twitter is all about status updating platform for people to tell the world everything they’re thinking. While it may seem like a good idea to follow the person you just started dating, don’t you think that’s rushing the process a bit? When people tweet, they don’t necessarily tweet from the heart. There’s also a loss of tone and this might create wrong impression in your heart. Do you know if he or she is actually joking around or playing with their friends? You can easily misinterpret them to be offensive or rude, when in reality in reality you just create wrong feeling trying to get to know her better. 3. Ask invasive questions: Ask anybody who knows me and will tell you that I believe in boundaries. I’m a little more complex than most guys because I’m very careful not to ask invasive questions because i personally believe it can create wrong impressions that would lead to similar questions being asked back. When you start asking questions like, “Why did you break up with your ex-boyfriend?” on the first date, or “So I wanted to ask you about [that embarrassing story from school that they've somehow uncovered by doing a deep dive on your past], or How was the first guy in bed” you are way out of line . When people ask me when is the right time to bring up the tough questions, I always say, “When they’re necessary and when discussion unintentionally leads to asking", not when you feel like you need to know.” 4. Rush things: Don't rush things. The easiest way to get to a meaningful relationship is to develop the relationship organically meaning naturally and at a normal pace without any additives. I understand that no one likes idle time. I also understand that people are goal-oriented. But for God’s sake, don’t rush the relationship! Take your time, give both yourselves time to want to be in the midst of a relationship. You can’t go from dinner on Friday night, to an early morning text about brunch on Saturday, to “how do you feel about going to 8 o’clock service with me on Sunday?” Take your time, don't rush things, you will scare the other person away if you start smothering them out the gate. Avoiding the above tips in the early stage of your relationship will go a long way in helping you to creating an atmosphere where love abound.

You’re In Love With Someone Off-Limits; So Now What?

Falling in love with someone off-limits is undoubtedly complicated and rarely ideal. We’ve got 4 tips for navigating your own off-limits romance.
1) Determine if the person really is off-limits. People who are otherwise open-minded can be very judgmental about love, sometimes ruling out anyone who isn’t their “type.” Here’s the truth: There’s a chance that the person who could love you best isn’t as tall, muscular, or accomplished as you think you’d like. Superficial traits aren’t inherent dealbreakers. So who’s really, truly off-limits? Someone in a serious committed relationship. There are few other people to add to the list: people who show no interest in you despite your obvious interest in them, who are bitter and jaded from previous relationships, or who exhibit a lot of ‘red flags’.
2) Don’t rush in. Of course, what starts off-limits doesn’t always stay off-limits. Sometimes people fall in love in messy circumstances that could hurt other people. It’s not ideal, but it’s a personal decision for the individuals involved to make. No one said love was easy. That said, feeling something doesn’t mean that you have to act on it. It’s normal to sometimes find yourself attracted to someone you can’t have. Ask yourself- and honestly answer ; these questions before making any decisions about pursuing someone who’s off-limits.
*.What could happen, both good and bad?
*.How would my decision affect other people? Can I live with myself knowing that my actions could potentially hurt others?
*.What advice would I give to a loved one who was in this situation? *.If everyone were to do what I’m thinking of doing, what would happen?
3) Love the player, not the game. Before you proceed any further with an off-limits relationship, it’s important to make sure that you’re interested in the person, not just the thrill of forbidden romance. Excitement and danger are fun temporarily. But if you really want a future with someone, you can’t keep your relationship on the down-low or your attraction one-dimensional. When you’re attracted to a man for the right reasons, you’re attracted on multiple (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.) levels, psychologists explain. You tend to feel like the best version of yourself. You feel more good than bad, whether you’re with or without him. So if you feel great when you’re with your secret love, but guilt-ridden or resentful when you’re apart, something needs to change.
4) Learn from your decision. Maybe your off-limits romance will end in happiness. Maybe it won’t. Perhaps you’ll decide it’s not worth the risk. Whatever the case, it’s important to remember that every relationship, mistakes and all, teaches us something. When it comes to love, we tend to learn the hard way. At the very least, an off-limits relationship helps us improve and make the inner changes necessary to attract a higher-quality person who’s available. And the best possible result? Two people who overcome the odds to get together … and stay that way.

Habits That May Increase Your Risk of Diabetes

Ask yourself: Do any of these six habits sound familiar? If so, you may be contributing to your risk of getting this deadly disease. Not all diseases can be prevented with proper diet and exercise, but with diabetes, those two go a long way. 1. Your Idea of Exercise is Reaching for the Remote If channel-flipping is your idea of working out, then you are at a much greater risk of getting diagnosed. People with sedentary lifestyles are far more likely to obtain diabetes. In fact several studies suggest a strong correlation between watching TV, weight gain, and the development of diabetes — independent of diet and exercise. 2. Soda and Sugary Drinks Are Your Go-To Refreshment It has long been known that copious sugar intake, along with family history, is one of the largest contributors to developing diabetes. Soda and other sugary drinks are the easiest and fastest way to consume sugar. Even worse is the perception that drinking calories and sugar are somehow not as bad for you as eating sweets. One of the easiest ways to reduce your sugar intake is to replace your current beverage of choice with water or another low-sugar beverage. 3. It’s Been a While Since You’ve Seen Your Feet Now is the time for a staggering statistic: Studies show that those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are also diagnosed with overweight or obesity in 80 to 90 percent of the cases. You don’t need to have your Ph.D. to see the incredible correlation between diabetes and being overweight or obese. If you are, it would strongly benefit you to start a diet and exercise regimen before it’s too late. 4. You Take the Elevator — to the Second Floor This one picks up where bad habit #3 leaves off. One of the greatest risk factors of getting diabetes is living a sedentary lifestyle. If you are one of those who avoids taking the steps at all costs – it will most likely cost you more in the long run. In addition to practicing good eating habits, it is extremely important to work exercise into your daily routine. (Even if you are limited by age or disability there is most likely something you can do to remain physically active.) Avoiding a sedentary lifestyle is not only good for your social life, but for your health!In my opinion, if a patient of mine were to walk 20 minutes a day for each pill he takes for diabetes, he’d see in a few months that he no longer needs to be taking as many pills. With all the savings on prescriptions, that money could easily be reallocated to your new wardrobe — like, say, some great walking shoes! 5. When You Enter a Room, Your Gut Goes First Does size matter? Ahh, the age old question…No, not that question! In the case of diabetes size definitely matters. Your mid-section is your ‘gauge’ to alert you that you may be heading towards a diagnosis of diabetes. Speak to your doctor if you are overweight and have any additional risk factors outlined in this article. GALTIME
