First Date Disasters The Risk of Meeting Strangers from AppsDescription We’re All Slutty For The Right GuyDear Men: This Is Why Loyalty Is So Important To Women How Do You Avoid Dating a Liberal/Conservative? Are You Looking For Fast Love Too? Should You Fake an Active Lifestyle for Love? When a Relationship Feels Like a Secret Mission Pushing Through It Embracing The Unexpected Path Of Singlehood Why Is It So Hard to Believe Someone Might Stay? Am I Crazy Or Is He A Hot Mess? Dear [Your Profile Name Here], You are a beautiful lady that I want to know better. Please meet me for coffee or cocktails. I am free today. Looking forward to your response. John Q. Public 4. Ayn Rand Fan: The kind of guy who lists The Fountainhead as his favorite book is telling you something. He probably works in finance. The last book he read was The Fountainhead and that was in ninth grade when we all had to read it. He’s likely a selfish jerk who’s overly concerned with buck-making and under-concerned with anyone who’s less fortunate than himself. Charming! 5. Finicky Freak: Even though he’s 45, he’s only interested in women between 18 and 27. Miss Right must possess naturally red hair (shoulder length or longer, please) and a full C-cup. He’s somewhat flexible with his height requirement—as long as you’re between 5’5” and 6’—but you absolutely cannot weigh over 110 pounds, regardless of your height. If you want to be his girlfriend/doormat, you must have at least a BA—preferably an MBA—but not a PhD (because that would mean you’re smarter than him). You must enjoy working out (often), skipping meals, and laughing at his (no doubt humor-free) jokes. Run in the other direction. When a friend of mine who’s dipping her toe back into the world of online dating recently asked for three quick rules to remember when emailing potential matches, it occurred to me that if she needed a bit of a refresher course, some of you probably do too. After all, as convenient as it is, email is rife with opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot and hurt your shot at making a real connection. So after the jump, eight dos and don’ts to remember when emailing a potential online dating match. 1. DO keep it short. Think of an email as an appetizer. Don’t ruin his appetite by feeding him entree-sized portions before the main course. Keep him hungry for more. 2. DON’T double-email. One email for each email received, OK? Writing two or more emails before you’ve gotten a reply to the first not only makes you look a little obsessed, it also makes it seem like you don’t have anything better to do with your time.

How The Law of Attraction Can Help You Find Love A Dude Diner’s Doctrine Soundtrax To Your Life: Pre-Date Tunes Ms. Awesome’s Advice for Men Bad Relationships Aren’t Investments How To Get A One Nite Stand Out Of Your Apartment I’ve been thinking about doing it for awhile. I’ve just been too lazy to actually build the profiles and shit. Then, I went to London and seen that Tony T, Burto, and Jambone were doing alright on online game. Then, GMac wrote this post. So, then I decided fuck it, and hopped onto Plenty of Fish. I emailed Gmac my profile to get a little help/pointers. He wrote back and said, I’m impressed. Most of the crap people have been sending me to read has been garbage haha. … and then went on to give me tweaks, tips and pointers and I got the ball rolling. I initially just copied one of Gmac’s messages and kind of mass sent that to girls. I probably sent it to about 22 girls – 4 responded. With two of them basically just saying “lol”. Since then, I’ve gone more assholish – more similar to the Jambone/Krauser way of doing online game. I’ve also started to just put the most random things I can think of as the subject line. Such as “I Don’t Think Purple Is A Color Anymore.”, ”Coffee And Crabcakes”, or “Firetrucks are Red.” At least it will stand out in their inbox and force them to open it…. I imagine, anyway… We’ll see how it goes. Got my first response already. Me: Let’s see.. Your profile is 2 lines long…. And half of it is “I’m not good at writing descriptions like this”…. Hmmm…. And the “love to travel, enjoy meeting new people” part? Congrats, you’re a person! Well, at least you look cute in your pictures… Her response: And your point is? I checked back and looked at her page… and sure enough, she changed her whole profile. She had a longer description now, she had lists and shit, so I wrote back: Me: My point was exactly that. That you look cute, but your profile said basically absolutely nothing at all. I guess all I was supposed to go on is the fact that you look cute. But, I’m left wondering… is this Haitian girl interesting? Is she a cool person? Or is she some crazy girl that’s going to turn into a psycho stalker down the line? I have no idea. I see you changed it now though. It is a bit better… good job. Her: lol…yes I sure did change it thanks to you… Ha! Already got my first chick to change her profile! I count that as a win… Début de l'événement 31.01.2022 Fin de l'événement 31.01.2022 Voir la fiche |

It’s that time of year again. Commencement. The time in which the autumn leaves turn a richer hue. The time in which all creatures make a last ditch effort to shake off the dusting of their former selves. This is the day in which WE all want to make damn sure that the previous 364 were well spent. I’m no different. Although I wasn’t part of the large crowd of reveler’s this weekend, I do, in fact, consider myself a graduate. I have commenced to live my life on my terms. Part of that means I can do whatever the hell I want, how I want, with whom I want. Mostly though, It just means I finally feel free to own and honor my feelings. Speaking of feelings, I was lying in bed this morning when the strangest feeling washed over me. It was pure, it was joy, it was pain, it was laughter, it was……funny as all hell. (Well, certain parts were.) I went from laughing out loud to soaking the bedsheets with tears, all in a matter of seconds. You see, I had a flashback of my life, and there was a young lady with me in all of the scenes. This young lady has been so supportive of me my entire life. She was (and still is) my role model. She made me feel like I was somebody, when, for the longest time, I was hellbent on proving her wrong. She said that all of my teachers were wrong for making me feel stupid. This day of commencement is dedicated to that young woman, one of the greatest women in the history of my LIFE!!! Karen Lenore Gordon, aka, My Big Sister. (Yeah, I’m crying all over my Macbook right now. #thatswhatGordonsdo) Big Sister, I realized I’ve never told you how much you mean to me. This day I commence to change that forever. Big Sister: Remember when I was in 2nd grade and you were in 4th? We missed the bus once and Momma was on her way home from work. We walked all the way to school–20 min by bus–crossing Highway 56 and narrowly getting mowed down several times……you got me to school safely…..you were Superman to me that day. When you passed the audition at Davidson Fine arts school with flying colors, and I flunked mine with equally flying colors…..you made me feel like I was talented. When my teachers were plotting to put me in a school for “special” kids…..you made me feel like Stephen Hawking. In high school, when I was the biggest TOOL on the planet…..you made me feel like Cool Hand Luke. When you were in the hospital for months and months with a complicated pregnancy, never complaining once……you became Wonder Woman to me all over again. When you busted my mouth and nose with a very unripe tomato from the garden during our infamous veggie/fruit fights……You were my Satchel Paige. When Wycliffe gave us singing lessons (against our will)……you taught me to be Sam Cooke. You allowed me to learn soooo much from your example, never lecturing me or imposing your authority. (not that i woulda listened anyway) You were Mother Theresa. Watching you raise your boys single-handedly, you taught me just what it means to never give in, or give up PERIOD……You were my Larry the Cable Guy…….Git r Done!!!! All the while putting out the Best Damn Music, with the most beautiful voice. You inspired me to pick up an instrument after having not touched one for over 30 years!!!!………..You are Lucius Gordon Sr., our father. I miss him and I miss you as well. This day, This Weekend, although I’m not donning a cap or gown, I Have Graduated!!! For I am a changed man. And I have my big sister to thank for it. I love you Big Sis!!!

Isolation and the CityDescription When Do You Walk AwayIt Is All Facebook’s Fault… How To Be Single at Your 10 Year Reunion Are One Night Stands Bad? The Truth About Free Dating Sites Writing Good Loveawake.com Emails Taking it Slow vs Taking it Nowhere 26 Things I’ve Learned About Dating Being Selfish in A Relationship Signs of a Douchebag Rules for a Skype Date The following is a discussion on isolation in Los Angeles. Thoughts from Leigh: A friend of mine once said: “L.A. Can be the best place or the loneliest place in the world to live.” The first year I lived in West Hollywood I knew what he meant. Looking for a party, one will always find one. There are plenty of willing acquaintances just looking for a partner in crime and to hit the scene for the night. Everyone is looking for something: an excuse to go out and get trashed, a babysitter, a chaperon, moral support, a wingwoman, an accessory, a stand-in mom, an enabler, entertainment, a target to project negativity onto, an so on. These are all roles I have played out with LA girlfriends at some point. Sometimes I got tired of the same old roles and decided to enjoy the quiet life of a responsible non-socialite for awhile. During these times, my phone would go silent. “Friends” regularly hitting me up to go out vanished. The only people down for mellow activities already had someone, usually a boyfriend or hubby. Who was I to compete with that? Besides, having partied my pants off with them before, they did not expect a mellow evening with me to remain that way. All I wanted though was to spend some good old quality time. Where had it gone? But I found this alone time brought out a good side. I realized I needed to spend quality time with myself. The person I had been neglecting the most. I was afraid I would cease to exist within my solitude, but found new perspective and strength. This revelation came much later, after a couple of these “episodes.” I began to question my role as the “partier” and consequences of all the shenanigans of my partying self. Thoughts from SGSG: I would say that I agree. L.A. is definitely the most isolating place I’ve ever been. Granted big cities have that feel; however, even a place like NYC, you walk out your door and there are people walking in the street with you. Public transportation also helps with this. In L.A., you sit in your car for hours a day and drive to locations all over the city that may or may not contain the right crowd you are looking for. Then, if you change your mind, you cannot just walk down the street to the next place. You have to get in your car again, find parking all over again. Or you can rack up expensive taxi rides but still end up sitting in the car, alone, or with a few friends for a very long time. Not to mention L.A. is very snobby. As Leigh described, there are tons of girls out there looking for a social buddy, a buddy so they don’t look alone as they are showing off in all the Hollywood hot spots. But there are not many girls looking for a true friend, a person that connects with you on a deeper level and you feel at home talking to about everything. There are also tons of guys looking for good sex, but not very many looking to connect on a deeper level, such as igniting a relationship. So how we do find these people in a city so isolating? This is a question I’ve struggled with for many years. But ultimately, Leigh is correct. We need to Learn to Be Lonely (which ironically was an older blog post of mine about dating). This is the first step. Once we can feel comfortable in our own skin, we can truly accept others for their real selves as well. We will not need to seek approval, show off, be fake and lie, act snobby, pretentious, angry, mean or bitchy, and we will stop search in vain for love instead of giving it to ourselves first. After we are truly okay with being alone (I mean not just pretending to be okay with it) we can go out and talk with other people on a real level because we have nothing to prove. This means we begin to actually connect with other people, in our true form. So when we come across someone that clicks, whether a girlfriend or love that will turn into a lifetime thing, we will open and receptive to it.

Pink Beads and Being VulnerableDescription A Relationship Evolved (and Happy Birthday To My Ex)The Unforgettable First Kiss Jealousy Versus Envy Love Addict: The Pregnancy Dilemma How Do You Help Someone Who Doesn’t Want Help? Most Radical Relationship Books On the Market We Hold Ourselves Back What Happens When You Actually In Relationship?? Is a Same-Sex Encounter Important in Living Holistically? You’re a Selfish Bitch and That’s Why You’re Not Married Learning How to Love Yourself Love Addict: Writing the Personal How Do You Learn to Let Go? Right around New Years Eve I bought one of those bracelets that is supposed to be a wish fulfilling bracelet. If you’ve never seen one before, it is a bracelet with beads in the middle of it, made up of some kind of material that slowly shreds over months time until it finally breaks. When it breaks, it means your wish has come true. They make ones with different colored beads on them, and because 2013 was supposed to be my year of Eros, I bought one with pink beads. I wore it every day for the beginning of the year, even as it became tattered and stringy and ugly. I hadn’t slept with my yoga teacher yet, and I was sure the day I finally did, the bracelet would magically fall off in bed with him. Then the night actually happened. I woke up the next morning to see the bracelet was still clinging on. I left the bracelet on, day after day, in yoga and watching it stay strung together no matter what happened between me and him. I was frustrated, but I allowed the bracelet to do its thing and bring me true love. One day in yoga class, a bead fell off onto my mat. He was helping me with an extremely hard pose, and as usual, I was letting him contort me into any position he wanted. On this particular day, I was very burnt out because I was up all night crying over some interaction we had and what it meant to me. All of the sudden, something inside me clicked and I was no longer okay with what he was doing to my body. I said out loud, I can’t do this, it’s too hard, in a halfway to tears voice. As soon as he let go of me, one of my shining, pink beads fell onto my mat right in front of me. For a minute, I was angry because I was losing my beads over him, the person who was breaking my heart. As I continued my practice, I let it sink in that what just happened was part one of true love. My admittance and acceptance of the pain and fear, to myself and to him, was true love, and nothing more. Even if it turned into nothing more than what we shared that one night…I had experienced true love in that moment. It’s difficult because we expect true love to mean happily ever after but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. True love is true love, no matter what happens afterwards. And more importantly, surrendering completely to the vulnerability of true love is the first step to being able to hold it for longer, no matter how much it hurts. The bracelet that used to symbolize true love now symbolized vulnerability. I wore the bracelet for a couple more weeks or so and then I couldn’t take any more vulnerability. The bracelet was ragged and ugly, and I was too weak. I removed the bracelet one night and didn’t put it on again. Until last week.

Equating ‘Sexuality’ with Male Sexuality Why in the World Would I Ever Get Married? How Jealousy Can Work For Us The Catalano Generation is Revolutionizing Dating Mexico City's Short-Term Marriage Proposal Even in Relationship You’re All Alone I Lack the Commitment Gene Stop Crying and Be a Man Hey all you folks on the married end of the spectrum! Yeah, you, right there in the front row…when’s the last time you flirted with your partner? Twirled your hair, made googly eyes from across the room, ah romance. If it’s been awhile, what’s stopping you? At this point, I must offer that woeful singles disclaimer *I’m not married, but when I read Dr. John R. Buri’s “Why Don’t Women Flirt With Their (Own) Husbands?” my mind immediately conjured a man and woman getting ready for a cozy meal at home, dim lights and then…the startling shriek of a hungry child being jammed into a high chair, a toy dinosaur-turned-projectile shooting through the steamy haze of fresh-made spaghetti and two people with eyes locked in a fiery explosion of frustration and sleep deprivation. I had no trouble imagining why married folk might not flirt. Dr. Buri’s article is, however, a good reminder that the practice could be something your spouse (and particularly, husbands out there) might really miss. You can continue flirting, going on dates, or canoodling on the couch. You could leave little messages all over the house a la Laura Jeanne Allen’s grandparents in SHMILY. Or, you could say yes to sitting for a video, talking completely off the cuff to the whole of the internet when your husband springs his new camera on you like Tina Su did. (AHH!) If you feel you don’t have the time to unroll and re-roll an entire roll of Charmin, or can’t imagine flirting with the man whose underwear lingers on your floor, take a quick peek at Tina’s The Power of Language + News. Where she reminds us that the… …words you use to describe what is happening can either create possibilities for you or will become a roadblock. So, break down those mental and verbal barriers and go flirt it up with your sweet snookums. Début de l'événement 10.01.2022 Fin de l'événement 10.01.2022 Voir la fiche |

The Play Date Dogs, Cats, and the Art of Dating: Lessons from the Cab Ride The Colorado Connection That Could Never Be When Love Feels Like a DIY Project: The Fixer-Upper Dilemma Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others Should You Settle? Is There Hope For The Gender Gap? Cheating is a Cop Out The Dance of Second Chances Cupid and “timing” have conspired to make a mockery of my love life. This was not the first time these two have made trouble for me. In fact, it has happened so many times that I wonder if fate just likes toying with me. I recently found out that she was leaving within a month for a job abroad. Long distance was one thing but international long distance was another, especially trying to create a relationship. When I looked at the odds and obstacles, it was much safer to keep silent and hold my feelings at bay. However, there was an incredible chemistry between us. From the first time we met, she brought out a side of me that only my closest friends have been privileged to see. This connection made connecting of our continents seem promising. When I saw her next, my desire to live a life without regret released my restrained feelings. Words gushed out of my mouth, which left me naked with all of my intentions for her to see. She was shocked but happily surprised. Reality about our situation quickly weighted down my lofty dream. The only thing that steadied my nerves was the fact that her feelings for me mirrored mine. In her mind, she saw me as that person she would wonder about for the rest of her life. However, she didn’t realize that I was no longer going to settle for “what if”. It was too early for her to make a decision, so she went home to let everything sink in. The following day, we met. A decision had not yet come to her. She felt pressured to give me an answer. I assured her that I only wanted to hear her decision when it came naturally, even it if meant waiting another day, week, or month. We parted early that day to let the dilemma marinate some more. Then, right before I went to bed, it dawned on me what I needed to do. When we met the next day for coffee, I was nervous but determined to follow through on my new decision. So I told her that since I truly cared about her, the most loving thing I could do was to let her go. Her face expressed confusion. I explained that it was selfish of me to hold her back from being able to land with two feet firmly planted on her new home soil. It was not fair of me to hold her back from fully investing in her career just to entertain a fantasy of mine. As she listened, I could sense a conceded sigh of relief from her. However, there was one request I had before I could completely let her go. I asked, “Will you be my girlfriend for one minute?” She stumbled back into her chair. When the shock settled, I extended my hand out and she took it. I looked deeply into her eyes. Time slowed down and every little second became a memory. As the second hand came full circle, I gave her fingers a final squeeze and let her go. I said my goodbye and walked away with a bittersweet grin, knowing that even though it was for only one minute, I had finally outwitted Cupid and “timing”.

Promises Forever: Revisiting the ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ IdealDescription Questioning Dating PerferencesJaded About Dating Endless Evidence Gathering Snooping on a Partner Interracial Dating And Relationships Why Do You Want to Be in a Relationship? Being Really Smart Can Work Against A Woman Flexibility in Modern Relationships "Till Death Do Us Part" Assembly Line of Hot The Art of Selective Truths in Dating Warning Signs on the First Date What I hear too much of from women is this idea that they've tried to ask men out a few times - it didn't work - and so they're not going to do it again. Well, if men took that approach, most of us would be single right now. I'm plenty capable of asking women out, and do so a majority of the time, but I have also been asked out before and went because I was interested, and not for some quick sex. To me, sticking behind generalized assumptions is a way to play it safe, but also can easily lead you to wrong conclusions. Reply GoldieOct 14, 2011 01:08 PM Right now, there is a man I'm really interested in, who keeps disappearing from contact for a couple days at a time. I'm sitting on my hands, mirroring him like Evan tells us to. I've known him for a while - he's pretty confident - he knows what he wants, and doesn't like being told what to do. So he's probably really not going to like being asked out! If he disappears altogether - bummer - but that would be because he's not interested, not because I didn't ask him out enough. I'll be sad, but what can I do except move on. You guys are just confusing women with your modern ways, IMO:) Reply NathanOct 14, 2011 03:45 PM Goldie - plenty of women are also doing those "modern ways." I agree it's all a bit confusing, but that's where we are at. Good luck with the guy. Reply SnowdropExplodesOct 14, 2011 03:55 PM @ Goldie: I guess I never had this experience where the man stays in contact, is interested, but doesn't ask me out because he's too shy to. Usually, either he stops writing because he's no longer interested, or I stop writing because I'm no longer interested, or he asks me out and then I weigh all I know about him and say yes or no. So to sum it up, the only time he doesn't ask me out is if he isn't interested. Début de l'événement 02.01.2023 Fin de l'événement 02.01.2023 Voir la fiche |

Disappearing Dates When we call ourselves the 99%, without touching our long and twisted history of injustice and pain towards each other, how "Solid" is our Solidarity? Centuries, even millenia, of human injustice await to be healed. Women still silenced. Indigenous Nations still stolen from. Post-slavery people still pushed to the bottom. People told they are "illegal" and separated from their families because of our Free-Trade policies and unjust immigration laws. How can we expand our awareness of all of these struggles, as we ask for their participation in our movement? How heavily do we take our responsibility, to include their voices as we decide our activist-strategies? Do we include a sense of the other 99% of the world, as we organize? How do we act in solidarity with post-colonial countries still strangling in debt? With repressive regimes where their right to assemble is met with mass slaughter? Do we unionize on behalf of sweatshop-workers around the world, or do we buy their cheap goods? Do we consider the sacrifices in lifestyle we will all have to make, to counter Global Climate Change? Is it too late? First off, full disclosure: I have been having a lot of in person conversations with the author, so my writing is definitely influenced by her ideas. I am very grateful and blessed to have Malia in my life, and the fact that we met during Occupy reinforces what I want to say next. Developing real relationships across whatever differences are present, as well as coalitions between groups that have been divided historically, is the only way Occupy or any social change movement like it will succeed. Our imaginations must expand. Our listening skills expand. Our willingness to let go of being right all the time must expand. Each of us must, in my opinion, learn how to work towards a better future without knowing what that future will be exactly. None of us knows exactly what it will take to break down the current systems of oppression, nor do any of us know what will be needed for a just, healthy society on the other side. I am troubled by the sense of knowing it all that sometimes pervades both the conversations we have in Occupy, and also the actions that we choose to employ. It's deeply painful to look around the room, see the lack of people of color, and then listen to predominantly white activists say they truly know the needs of their communities. As a former ESL teacher who spent years working in various wings of the broad immigrant rights movement, it's impossible for me to ignore how few immigrant voices are present, and how little the issues that uniquely impact them are readily marginalized as not important, if they are ever raised at all.

I know you’re trying to be inclusive, but please try to keep in mind that since GSM (a term I don’t use myself) supposedly includes trans people (including binary trans people), there are plenty of GSM who are men and women. My gender isn’t “trans,” it’s female. To clarify further: trans (or transgender or transsexual) all refer to my history; they do not refer to my gender and never have. I think of the ‘bi’ as referencing ‘people who are gendered like me’ and ‘people who aren’t gendered like me.’ I ID as basically genderqueer/gender fluid myself, as well. But the assumption gets annoying, and is one of the many reasons I often ID as queer instead, though I use both labels interchangeably for myself. tl;dr answer to Thomas’ question: no. I had never come across this at all until about two or three months ago when I saw a poem purporting to explain umpteen different orientations in a semi-cutesy way. The couplet: “Bis only like boys and girls But queers give everyone a try” nearly made me lose my lunch. No. Just, no. Début de l'événement 25.12.2023 Fin de l'événement 25.12.2023 Voir la fiche |

The Double Standard of Men and Women The Double Standard of Men and Women The Double Standard of Men and Women 8 Ways to Make a Guy Not Want to Sleep with You 8 Ways to Make a Woman NOT Want to Sleep with You I owe it to myself to blog responsibly and respectfully. I owe it to my readers and more importantly, the men I chose to have relationships with. I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve had and I’m thankful for readers like yourself that challenge me, provoke me to think and inspire me. LOLOL I like ur list Spec… Dealbreaker #1: Bad conversationalist. If I can’t talk to you for more than 5 min without an awkward uncomfortable pause then it’s done. On the other hand, if we talk and the time flys and we float from topic to topic you can move on to the next level. (yes, this is like a video game - there are levels. If you fail, gameover. Depending on how many lives you got left I’ll decide if you get another attempt LOL) I have alot of other dealbreakers but that’s an initial one. PS: NOW you can say Konnitiwa spec:-p lol Connie, on February 5th, 2009 at 3:51 pm Said: I heart your blogs. #4…I think that most men actually unconsciously like it when a woman is dependent on them. It makes them feel empowered to be in the position where a woman “needs” them. A lot of men are intimidated by a woman who can has her own. It takes a VERY confident man (not arrogant, but confident cause there is a huge difference) who can deal with a woman who can at any point look at a man as being expendable. #2.. Sex is everything. I’m sorry. Its the only difference between a cool friend and a husband in my opinion. Having said that, Sex is my #1 dealbreaker. Everything else can be talked out, worked on, compromised, but that. You gotta be able to do…what it do…feel me? Début de l'événement 19.12.2023 Fin de l'événement 19.12.2023 Voir la fiche |

Getting Out Of A Sex Rut |

Getting Out Of A Sex RutDescription How Pocket-Dialing Can C*ckblock YouAttack of The Killer Ex How To Deal With A Psycho Ex During The Holidays Attention Mongers Crybabies and Dramaheads 25 Signals You're Not Ready For a Online Dating 5 Skills Every Man And Woman Should Master Can Sex Be A Laughing Matter? The Sh*t Women Say That Piss Off Men Dating a Jersey Shore Fan Dealing With Exes on Valentine’s Day A Decent Girl For a Nice Guy So you’ve tried adult personals, traditional dating, and even got yourself into a relationship or two, however, try as you might, you still find yourself lacking a certain je ne sais quoi in the sex department. If that’s the case, fear not my friend, Personals Facts has got you covered. Every once in awhile, it’s important to take a step back and look back at our lives in order to determine what went wrong, and what went right. And when dealing with sex, that’s no different. Look back into all of the times you’ve had sex in the past year. While you probably won’t remember every single one of them, the best, and worst experiences will spring up before all the others. And that’s pretty much all you need to know. Now, look into what made them into what they were and you’ll start to get a pretty good understanding of the underlying reasons behind your void. Below, I’ll present you with a few sex-based new year’s resolutions that will be sure to pull you out of your sex rut for once and for all. Regardless of relationship status. 1. Be OK with Being Single – Sometimes, the real problem behind our lackluster sex lives can lie behind our constant need to seek a relationship. With so much pressure to lug around, any casual sex experience you have will be weighed down by the pressure of the “what if”. Learn to let that go and be ok with being single, even if only for a little while. 2. Don’t Resort To One-Night-Stands – Although entirely contradicting from my previous point, not everyone is built the same. Much like in the way that some people constantly strive towards being in a relationship, others fear it like the plague. So before getting caught in a habit of only striving towards sex with no strings attached, know that it’s also perfectly fine to let go and allow yourself to develop feelings for someone else. It might be the best sex you’ve ever had. 3. Think Outside The Box – One of the most common reasons for people feeling stuck in a rut in the sex department lies in the fact that they do the same thing every single time. If you’ve never had sex outside of the bedroom, you don’t know what you’re missing. Having sex in unsuspected places every once in awhile will be sure to add some thrill to your life.

Why Daters Are Saying ‘Yes’ to Sustainability |

Why Daters Are Saying ‘Yes’ to SustainabilityDescriptionDo I Belong With You or Do You Own Me? Is Jealousy a Human Survival Mechanism? What is Fidelity? Aren’t Open Relationships All About Sex? So, You Found Out He’s Lying… What To Do With a Badly Behaving Lover? Girls Runs The World?! The One Topic Men And Women Never Agree On How To Date A Virgin david foster November 20, 2011 at 3:01 PM I’m not arguing that most STEM majors go on to become big names and/or extremely wealthy, that obviously isn’t the case, only that in many cases the work they wind up doing isn’t all that radically different from what many of their non-STEM peers are doing….Pretty sure I could dig up a lot of STEM-degreed people at Microsoft, for example, who are doing marketing, sales management, operations management, etc. Dividing a campus between the STEM side and the non-STEM side doesn’t sound very smart to me. “The culture in general does not venerate all STEM guys”…but are there ANY types of profession that are generally venerated regardless of the individual’s level in that profession? If you haven’t already read it, you might be interested in C P Snow’s “The Two Culture,” those 2 cultures being science & the humanities. Snow argued that the typical scientist was much more likely to have a basic understanding of the humanities than the typical humanities person is to have a basic understanding of the sciences. (This was more than 50 years ago–a cynic might argue that today we have solved the 2-cultures problem by graduating a lot of people who know neither Shakespeare nor the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Hope November 20, 2011 at 4:36 PM The crux of my argument is that different “fields” garner different levels of respect from the culture, and that this seeps into an average person’s subconsciousness. In other countries, STEM fields are valued and respected across the board. You are praised even if you’re a young child memorizing 100 digits of Pi, and certainly if you’re a poor graduate student in engineering. The typical intelligent person who does not become “rich or famous” is not valued in this culture. No crowd gathers around the student who achieved the highest grades or test scores, showering that person with congratulations and accolades. Rather it is more often the athlete or the musician or the performer who gets the recognition. In other parts of the world, the academically gifted student would stand a bit above the rest. Girls would have a crush on him, because there, he would be “alpha.” Début de l'événement 10.12.2023 Fin de l'événement 10.12.2023 Voir la fiche |

Marriage Isn’t the Cure for Loneliness—And That’s OkayDescription Things Men Talk About When Women Aren’t LookingBlack Men Desirability: Unpacking Cultural Biases Women' Things Men Struggle To Understand Going Nowhere Fast, We’ve Reached Our Climax Are Women Too Loyal for Their Own Good Things Black People Say? What Really Works For Us Chicks Words I Hope My Daughter Never Says Why Women Get a Pass on Things Men Can’t 5 Signs That You Might Be Dating a Zombie Who Might Zombie Apocalapyse Your A** This is the point where someone should probably make the point that not all single men are single by choice. Some cats tell themselves that their singledom is a conscious decision when it really just comes down to the fact that they just don’t have romantic/sexual access to the women they think they “deserve.” This is also the point where I begin to curse myself for thinking that writing a second by second recap of this shit would be a good idea. 1:44: She’s cute in an “my ex boyfriend kind of still thinks we’re together and might break into your crib one day while you’re at work and sit on the couch and wait for you to get home so you can talk about things and resolve this situation” sort of way. 1:57: My favorite part of the video begins as Carl Thomas returns to the screen to bless us with his “very successful” presence, his unbuttoned blouse reminding us all of when our grandmothers told us not to trust Michael Beach or any other light-skinned man who wears long-sleeved shirts with no undershirt. Actually, after hearing him talk some (and reading some of the comments attached to this video at Clutch), I definitely think the producer was looking for a “Hill Harper-ass n*gga” to put in his video, and just found the first one he could find. I think I’m just going to call him Phil Farper. 2:10: Not to be outdone by Phil Farper’s Phil Farperness, a guy in a gray H&M blazer says, with a straight face, that he doesn’t have any flaws. Forget Diva Dude, this n*gga’s the motherf*ckin Hope Diamond. 2:20: As the jazz played in every sex scene in every Spike Lee movie ever made plays in the background, the clip ends with another cryptic voiceover about men being pussies and a shot of the DVD this trailer is based on. I think Dr. Buckingham should have chosen a better cover. Début de l'événement 03.12.2021 Fin de l'événement 03.12.2021 Voir la fiche |

Unexpected Things Men Feel Insecure About in RelationshipsDescription The Surprisingly Solid Dating Advice From Kanye WestHow To Please Your Mate Rearranging The Deck Chairs On The Titanic of Love Ridiculous Dating Advice That’s Totally True Things Men Do That Women Probably Hate Things I Think I’d Hate About Women If I Were a Man What Single People Get Wrong About Marriage Chicken Livers and Relationship Drama Why Splitting Costs Isn't Splitting Love The Instant Turn-Offs That Will Get You Cut Off While men often project confidence, they harbor insecurities that rarely see the light of day. One major source of anxiety is their ability to provide—financially or emotionally. Many men internalize the societal expectation of being the "provider," feeling inadequate if they fall short. Even in relationships where equality is emphasized, this pressure lingers. Physical appearance is another surprising insecurity. Though women are often vocal about body image issues, men grapple with them too, whether it’s about height, hairline, or fitness levels. Compliments about their looks can mean a lot, even if they don’t openly admit it. Emotional vulnerability is perhaps the most silent struggle. Men are often conditioned to suppress their feelings, so opening up can feel risky. Will their partner view them as weak? Will their honesty push someone away? These doubts can keep men emotionally guarded, even when they crave deeper connection. Lastly, men often worry about their sexual performance and ability to meet their partner’s expectations. Even in loving relationships, they can feel immense pressure to "measure up." The key to easing these insecurities is fostering a safe space for open dialogue. When both partners support and reassure each other, it helps break down these silent barriers and build stronger connections.
