Why Do women dump men who are nice to them. Posted: 6/30/2008 11:08:13 AM
Women like nice guys, but they don't like wusses. I am told that a lot of men confuse the two. There is a difference between being thoughtful and trying to buy a woman's affections; between being chivalrous and being a doormat; between being genuinely complimentary and being a kiss-ass.

Green Chilli Powder Posted: 6/26/2008 1:40:11 PM
Stick your finger in and taste it! Do you like the taste? Can you handle the fire? There are thousands of different peppers, with flavor and temperature varying widely even within the same varietal. And, they are all classified as a fruit. TRUE! Like a tomato. Use it as a spice in any dish. Experiment! Food is all about trying new things. Remember CONTRAST! Contrasting flavors, temperatures, colors, textures, this is what makes food fun! Sprinkle in a little and if it tastes good keep doing it. Simple as that! I've had dried pepper on eggs, on steak, soups, even on ice cream! Speaking of which, I went through an ice cream making phase once. Vanilla ice cream with a touch of pumpkin, Jack Daniels, raisins, nutmeg, and cinnamon was fantastic!! Wish I had tried peppers in that one!

what we have to look forward to someday Posted: 6/25/2008 9:33:16 PM
In the nursing home one evening, the old man looked over and said to the old lady, 'I know just what you're wanting. For $5, I'll have sex with you right over there in that rocking chair.' The old lady looked surprised, but didn't say a word. The old man continued, 'For $10 I'll do it with you on that nice soft sofa over there, but for $20 .... I'll take you back to my room, light some candles, and give you the most romantic evening you've ever had in your life.' The old lady still said nothing, but after a couple minutes, she started digging down in her purse. She pulled out a wrinkled $20 bill and held it up. 'So you want the nice romantic evening in my room,' said the old man. 'Get serious,' she replied. 'Four times in the rocking chair!'

Kissing.... Posted: 6/25/2008 8:17:52 PM
It's important to use lots of encouragement, praise and treats (positive reinforcement) in your training. Start training your man as soon as the first date. Set your man up to succeed, concentrate on developing desirable habits and prevent undesirable behavior. Keep your training sessions short, consistent and always have fun. Base your training sessions around trust and mutual respect rather than old school methods based on punishment and harsh corrections. In this environment you will find that your boyfriend loves his training sessions and his confidence will grow with each and every session. Early efforts should focus on establishing dominance. Always remember that you are dealing with a very immature person. Be realistic, flexible, patient and always fair. Your boyfriend doesn't just automatically know this stuff! It's all new to him and he is bound to have the odd slip up and mistake along the way. Be especially firm if he bites or attempts to hump your leg. These traits are annoying and can be embarrassing when company is around. Establish a space where you can put your boyfriend when you need a break. The garage or basement makes a perfect environment for this. Don't worry, he will find things to do to entertain himself. Don't hesitate to put him there when he gets on the furniture, disobeys, or you simply get tired of giving him the constant attention he will undoubtedly require. Enjoy this fantastic time in your dating life. Dating is the time where you will lay the foundation for your life together.

Now that everyone's imagination has been titillated and worst fears confronted, go look at the images that are generated. Nothing very revealing or erotic about that. Eerie olorless blobs really. We are already being searched, frisked, sniffed, and patted. I say if this is faster and less intrusive I'd opt for it.

Inward orgasm vs. outward orgasm Posted: 6/22/2008 1:04:22 PM
Inward - clitoral - most common type. Outward - vaginal or g-spot - less common, but far more intense. The woman will often ejaculate a clear fluid, and lots of it. Eyes will roll back in head like Kujo. Lots of flailing limbs, speaking in tongue, etc. The second type typically requires that a woman trust you enough to relax, especially the first few times. MEN, THIS IS IMPORTANT - Do not get hung up on this stuff. If a woman likes/loves you, and enjoys your company, then she will enjoy sex regardless of the orgasms or lack thereof. Do not focus on this or you will actually make it harder for her to get there. Instead be open, communicative, experimental, attentive, and sensual without always being sexual, and she will eventually get there. And, while we might talk about the clit, the g-spot, the a-spot, etc., remember that the whole body is an erogenous zone.

Is there any justification for cheating on a partner ? Posted: 6/18/2008 4:54:20 PM
I will not lie for my friends. On the few occasions this has come up, I make it very clear that I am not to be used as an excuse or alibi. And, if their actions require an alibi, then I may have to consider whether they are really friendship material. On the other hand, their spouses find out very quickly that they are not to come to me on fishing expeditions. If they want to know what their husband and I did, where we went, or what he said, then they need to be having that conversation with him.

Guys, how would you recommend I answer this question? Posted: 6/18/2008 1:32:20 PM
Well, I am a greeter at Wal-mart, so you can imagine how I feel when people on street say hello to me. HEY! Do I have my vest on?! When I'm not working, that last thing I want to do is say hi, except to low prices everyday!! And I have to deal with the amateurs. People saying hi, that are not properly trained. It's not like just anyone can do this right! Knowing when to say "hi", "hey", or "hello" takes years of practice and rigorous training. Do you nod? A slight wink? Tilt the head? See, no easy task for the uninitiated. And it's not fair to take work away from us professionals. So next time you are tempted to say hello, remember your local Wal-mart Greeter's Union, and those of us on the front line, risking our lives to make the streets safe for salutations everywhere. Thank you.

So confused has anyone ever had this? Posted: 6/17/2008 1:16:35 PM
If you are confident that she is the one, then you have to trust enough to let her come to that conclusion herself. When we push, people push back. It's just the way it is. Remember, no one falls in love with you while you are there. They fall in love with you when they think about you when you are not there. You have to let her figure out that she misses you when you are not at her beck and call. Unfortunately it is also true, that if you blow it, it is done. This is one genie you will not get back into the bottle.

I can't see your profile, to whom you are writing, or what your emails contain, so I can only guess. Perhaps you are being unrealistic in your target audience? Perhaps you could do some things to make your profile, your pictures, or yourself more appealing to others. You can't shop at Nordstrom with foodstamps.

Anyone Ever Dated A TRUE Narcissist? Posted: 6/16/2008 11:20:51 AM
I had an abnormal psych class in college. My teacher was a retired psychologist. She said one day, that if we got nothing else from the class, learn this: NEVER date a narcissist or a sociopath, or you will be assured a life of misery. People with these disorders: 1) Cannot be fixed 2) Do not want to be fixed 3) Avoid detection of their condition by the general public 4) Have no compassion for others 5) Are found strangely attractive by some people (you know who you are) Run away now!!

There is something in the chaos of other people's lives randomly intersecting with ours that keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously. How boring a life of solitude would be. Who wouldn't want to find motorcycle parts in the dishwasher or a couch on the lawn?! Living with others is never perfect, but never boring either!

Will this fix itself? Posted: 6/15/2008 1:36:03 PM
1) Nothing fixes itself. If you are serious about making this work, talk it over. Get a counselor to referee if need be. There are relationship building exercises that might help as well. 2) Why do so many people know about your sex life? That might be a problem right there. 3) "While you were apart" -- were you really both out of it? Or were you just not in close proximity at the time. If he feels cheated on, then you may have blown it for good. We can forgive, but we never really forget. 4) Above all, there are lessons to be learned here. So take notes!! Good luck!

Efficacy for men has not been established, but testing is Posted: 6/14/2008 9:21:53 PM
currently under way. The vaccine is only effective for women who have not been exposed. Based upon likelihood of exposure, the vaccine is currently recommended for women under the age of 26. The vaccine targets four specific strains most likely to cause cervical cancer. Up to this point, no dangerous effects from HPV for men had been identified. As one might expect from a life-saving drug that only benefits women, and reduces the likelihood of getting a sexually transmitted virus, conservative and religious groups have fought efforts to make this vaccine more readily available. It is a widely-held belief by the ignorant and uninformed, that fear of the relatively remote chance of cervical cancer later in life might prevent their daughters from engaging in premarital sex, where fear of pregnancy, religious indoctrination and guilt have failed. I find it sad that anyone would put their own insecurities ahead of the longterm health of their own daughter, and the eventual mother of their grandchildren.

Does anyone use the art of seduction or mystery method on dates? Posted: 6/11/2008 11:08:13 PM
eazk, you are so right. I checked it out. Most of it was pretty intuitive, but reading it and thinking about it is an interesting exercise. Sometimes you reflect back on situations in the past and think how you might have handled them better or differently. What I got from it was: 1) Be confident, not arrogant or wussy 2) Be yourself, more important don't be someone you are not. 3) Lighten up. Laugh. Dating should be enjoyable for both parties. 4) Have a life of your own. Your own friends, interests, and activities. I've shared the material with several female friends who in turn have given it to their teenage sons, boyfriends, husbands. That being said, I had no use for the material dealing with bars, neg theory, pick-up lines, or stunts promoted by some of the young authors. I guess that stuff works for the college crowd, but not applicable to a more sophisticated audience.

Dating International,Is It the Best? Posted: 6/11/2008 10:48:03 PM
We are all individuals. Every situation is different. The fact that you are open to meeting people from other countries, learning new cultures and languages, and willing to travel, probably means that you have decent prospects for success. There are no absolutes. Think of the range of people that you know here. Other countries are no different in that respect. The fact that you are from the U.S. might give you a bit of an advantage in some circles, but might also prevent you from grasping subtleties which might impact you later. I would not recommend the mail-order thing to anyone, but if you have the chance to live and work in another country, learn some of the language, and make friends there, you will undoubtedly find yourself with social opportunities. And if it works out, you know where you will be going for summer vacations for life!

Man I suck at this dating thing!!! Help (sorry gonna be long) Posted: 6/11/2008 10:36:41 PM
Girl! Are we in Junior High School? Sure, he didn't want anything serious the first week, or the second. Get to know him for a few months. Call him up and do something during the daytime. Get to know him. Go hiking, go shopping, play video game, toss a frisbee. Maybe you won't like each other, or maybe you'll like each other more than either of you thought possible. Men start out at attraction. Then we move to sex. Eventually we come around to an emotional connection. Then it's just a matter of timing, compatibility, and luck. You've obviously changed in your perspective from that first night. You don't think he can as well? What would you have done if he had professed his love the first night? That's right. You would have run, and nobody would have blamed you. This is the dating/mating ritual. Enjoy it, and best of luck!

You should not even be thinking about this until you've gotten to know him better. Think 3 to 4 months. And, just because he has a profile here doesn't mean he's looking. Just because he doesn't have his profile here doesn't mean he's not.

It can be a lot of fun, but keep your expectations in check. If you aren't interested in a guy, just ask him about his job and listen until the 3 minutes are over. There'll be a lot of dweebs, but a few diamonds in there perhaps. Watch the speed dating segment in the extras section of the "40 Year-old Virgin" DVD. So funny, and not that far off!!

It may be your taste in men. Go for character over flash. Posted: 6/4/2008 6:23:12 AM
sure, age is a factor as well. Not as many men under 25 are thinking long term as when they get older, but there are plenty of guys your age that want a steady girlfriend. Ask yourself this. If the guy you are chasing has lots of other girls chasing after him, what motivation does he have to settle down? At your age, maybe 5% of the guys figure out how to consciously or subconsciously ramp up the attraction. But they don't have the maturity or motivation to use that responsibly. They'll juggle girls or jump from one conquest to another. To combat this, you need to look more deeply at character, interests, and personality. Quality men like having cute fun female friends. So, go for friendship first. Ask yourself this. Have you met his friends, parents, ex-girlfriends that he still gets along with? If not, then he doesn't expect you to be around long. So, if you still like and respect the guy after a few months, and enjoy his company as a friend, then get a little closer and see how that works.

Great fun. I think I'll reserve my score from public scrutiny Posted: 6/1/2008 4:00:55 PM
For the many who seemed to not like the test or even were offended, I would suggest this. Write your own test. We will take it and let you know what we think. Also, it was a test of kinky, not an endorsement of kinky. As for all those confused as to how bestiality could be consensual, I suppose if the animal were humping or licking you and you were allowing it to happen, then it would in fact meet that criteria. I do not have any firsthand knowledge in this, nor do I condone it. Although my date to a Halloween party was dressed up as a sexy cat once. Does that count?

If you are not eating any highly glycemic carbs like flour, suger, corn starch, etc. you might be going into keytosis as Iconoclast points out. Another cause is if you are becoming diabetic. Are you overweight? Do you need to urninate constantly? Another cause is if you have been poisoned deliberately, or unintentionally. I'm sure there are other causes. Contact your physician. If you are experiencing dizziness, do it now! He may order tests such as CBC, Fasting blood sugar, lipid screen, chem 2o or chem 24, etc.

Nothing wrong with asbestos. Posted: 6/1/2008 10:44:04 AM
Everyone who died had years of industrial exposure combined with heavy smoking. The asbestos simply created punctures in the lungs where the carcinogens in the tobacco could do their thing. With proper precautions, asbestos could continue to be used in a variety of applications without further risk to workers. Asbestos once applied is rarely airborne, and never in high enough concentrations to pose any risk. The money spent on abatement was a complete waste of taxpayer and company money. If it were in use today, asbestos would be saving energy costs, saving lives, and providing substantial good for society.

Our every action is completely understandable when considered in Posted: 6/1/2008 10:37:35 AM
context of the fact that we are cavemen. Our objectives are simple. Procreate and propagate, survive, protect and provide for our family, seek comfort over discomfort. Project these objectives onto a backdrop of the modern world, and it explains all the crazy things we do. Sure, life is easy now, and we've become soft. We drive too fast, drink lattes, engage in self-detrimental behaviors. But, that razor-sharp survival instinct is just below the surface. And, if you have ever been faced with a truly dangerous situation, you may be surprised how quickly your priorities snap back into place. I've been there, and my fight-or-flight programming kicked in like a dynamo. No doubt about it. We are the baddest creatures in the jungle. We will survive!

How's that for reason #1? Second, I don't want to know everything about someone up front. Part of the fun of meeting new people is getting to know them over time. Third, we all cast ourselves in the best possible light, and would undoubtedly fail to include information critical to the other party. So, put me down for a vote against the dating resumé. Perhaps what we need instead are warning labels written by people in our past. LOL!

banter that she wanted. That's how women test us. They watch how we react to situations. 50,000 years ago, they needed to know if we would survive and protect them in the event of an attack by animals or other people. So, when she messaged you thanking you for making her buy your soda, your response was key. Think about what you said. Now picture famous actors saying what you said. Can you picture Danny Devito saying it? Gary Coleman? How about Clint Eastwood or Jack Nicholson? Now thing about what you could have said instead. Now if you want her to go out with you again, call her up and tease her. Women like that. Make light of a light situation. Maybe even make fun of yourself. Invite her to go toss around a football, then panhandle for money until you can both get a soda. If she has no sense of humor and the money really is the deal, then move on.
