Traditional Online Dating

Traditional Online Dating Image
Do guys send you messages on Facebook before you begin texting? Have you wondered about that cute stranger's avatar on Twitter? It seems that communication via social media has influenced the world of dating. Traditional online dating (making a profile describing your interests and what you're looking for in a relationship) now has less of a stigma, yet not every 20-something New Yorker is rushing to sign up. While I do have friends who have found love (and even marriage) online, I have more friends who prefer to meet guys the good ole' fashion way - drunk at bars in the Lower East Side, through friends at an apartment party, or while shopping at Whole Foods for coconut water.

As a Facebook user since my junior year of college in 2005, I have seen many guys use this social network to contact and flirt. You get a friend request from a guy from your past - maybe he was in your high school AP English class or a dude you met at a party a few months ago. So, you accept his friendship, because you do kinda know him. And then it all begins... He "pokes" you. Then sends a private message. And comments on the photos from your 21st birthday keg party. Eventually he finds a reason to write on your wall. And maybe you exchange numbers and begin texting before he convinces you to go out for drinks.

Connecting on Twitter is completely different, as most of your followers are strangers, not real life friends (or friends of friends). Have you tweeted with a cutie who eventually send you a DM (Direct Message, for those of you who are not Twitter users) asking you a question? Then exchanging emails and phone numbers? Guys seem to be willing to be forward on Twitter. Maybe because if they are rejected it won't feel as personal, since they haven't met you and most likely won't run into you, as you aren't in the same circle.

Have you ever met (and possibly dated) someone from a social media network? xo

Top Ten Ways To Improve Your Leadership Skills

Top Ten Ways To Improve Your Leadership Skills Image
Whether you are consciously aware of it or not, on some level you are continually leading yourself and others. As a result, it would only make sense that you strive to improve your leadership skills and get the most out of life for everyone in your sphere.

If you desire to lead a passion-filled life wherein you are a positive influence to everyone, you will enjoy incorporating the following practices to assist you in consistently living your life as a conscious and strong LEADER.

1)HAVE A CLEAR VISION OF YOURSELF, OTHERS, AND THE WORLD.

Who are you? What do you stand for? What is your life purpose? How do you want to influence others? How do you want to contribute to yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, and the world? Answer these questions to formulate a concrete vision of yourself and your world. Then, start living your life as the leader who makes your vision a reality!

2)KNOW AND UTILIZE YOUR STRENGTHS AND GIFTS.

You have unique gifts that you were born with and personal strengths you've developed over your lifetime. Realizing and utilizing these gifts and strengths will assist you in being a formidable leader.

3)Live in accordance with your morals and values.

Making choices and taking actions out of accordance with your morals and values leaves you with a nagging "Bad" feeling. This feeling seeping in from your subconscious mind hinders your success in your career and your relationships. On the other hand, making choices and taking actions aligned with your morals and values helps you succeed almost effortlessly. People sense integrity and will naturally respect your opinion and leadership.

4)LEAD OTHERS WITH INCLUSIVENESS AND COMPASSION.

The greatest leaders are those who include everyone in their sphere of influence by recognizing each person's greatest value. To be one of these leaders, look beyond the obvious and see others with insight and compassion. Many of history's greatest leaders have admitted that they rose to the top because another leader recognized and harnessed their potential.

5)SET DEFINITIVE GOALS AND FOLLOW CONCRETE ACTION PLANS.

You have to know where your destination is before you can map out a plan to get there. To improve your leadership skills, first set specific life goals with appropriate timelines. Design your goals by moving backwards from the end of your life to the present week. Then, formulate action plans you can commit to that will get you to where you want to be.

6)MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

No one respects a grumpy or negative person. With a positive attitude you are looking at the bright side of life. People are naturally attracted to you when you have a positive attitude. By being positive, you will lead a happier life, as well as be surrounded by other positive people. You will also magically attract exciting offers and possibilities.

7)IMPROVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

Having great leadership skills includes your being able to clearly and specifically communicate your vision, goals, skills, intentions, and expectations to others. This also includes your ability to listen to what other people are consciously or unconsciously communicating. To become a great communicator, continually strive to improve your verbal, nonverbal, and listening skills.

8 ) MOTIVATE OTHERS TO GREATNESS.

A leader is as powerful as his team. As a leader, you will want to surround yourself with a powerful team by assisting others in recognizing and utilizing their strengths, gifts, and potential. Motivating others to their own greatness will improve the group energy, increase the vitality of your projects, and move you forward toward achieving your goals and vision.

9)BE WILLING TO ADMIT AND LEARN FROM FAILURES AND WEAKNESSES.

Face it - No one is perfect, and everyone has made a mistake or two in their lives! The most successful leaders know that the key to success is not in avoiding falling or failing, but to learn from their mistakes. As a strong leader, you will also be able to communicate your weaknesses to your team, so that you and your team can appoint someone who excels at that particular task or activity.

10)CONTINUE TO EDUCATE AND IMPROVE YOURSELF.

Great leaders continue to improve themselves in every possible way. The person who thinks he is an expert, has a lot more to learn. Never stop learning. Be receptive to everyone's perceptions and information from around the world and beyond.

Why I Never Enagage In What Black Women Did To Make Things The Way They Are Discussions

Why I Never Enagage In What Black Women Did To Make Things The Way They Are Discussions
Do you judge why I never ever get dense in the, anything did black women do to make the situation the way it is in the black suburb discussions? I dont since it is an negated battle built on the conjecture that black women occupy flatten age for creating the choas and dysfunction that reigns during the black social gathering.

The battle makes black women out to be co-creators with black men. It refuses to uncover the power differential that exists surrounded by male and female in a world that civil rights male over female, and consequently a world which gives males the determining role in how important in the end turn out.

The battle is one which wants to put to one side to black women flatten agency in vocabulary of determining how the situation has panned out for the black social group. Yes note how what black fill with revoke these, anything about how black women did X, Y, Z', you can see they are talking from a position of 'black women were accomplishment it at the exact time as black men, In the middle of THE Extraordinarily Unreserved Defer AND Command, at the exact level and with the exact rapt and purpose'! Communiqu that none of them is trying to equal height look at how that black women in their clowning around of X, Y, Z, may perhaps well be 'responding' to a situation more willingly than determined/set up by black men. Yes destruction time lines and making it all appearance simultenous is a key black way of obscuring black male criticize certain sinking the carrying out that a 3-D dimensioned altercation of endeavors would cast on the situation.

But cling to a look at how, what at hand are widespread discussions about the situation in our humanity, how that at hand is total comfort with turn over washed-out females a low-grade role in formative the world as we judge it and any system of inequality and inequity that exists. Yes if the saying requirement be told, washed-out women are uncommonly if ever indicted as creators of the systems of compulsion and inequality. Peak predictor are very rough in positioning washed-out women (who they add up as at the same time as subjugated in patriarchy and businesswoman structures), as in attractively truthful for any illegal or uneven set up. Those that are reevaluating the role of washed-out women are concluded innate to correct them as 'colluders' with washed-out men or 'internalizers' of unite ideas and thinking never 'generators' of these.

But again note that what 'liberals' gruffly want to turn the fix on the situation during the black social gathering and if they are able somehow to move disallowed from 'the washed-out male and situation is the source and immoral of all wickedness, idiom, they gruffly and impulsively level the social standing surrounded by black women and men to make black women out as co-creators of the bad situation as it stands. See, while they are happy to dampen washed-out female criticize for the carve of important in the wider world, what it comes down to black women who occupy merged levels of compulsion to scuffle with, you would think they would judge to moreover add up black women less truthful, but oh no, these exact fill with are happy to load down black women with flatten if not concluded dough that black men since yes certain the point of view that black men are sometimes victims of black women can be noted happening from the writings of enlightened folks! See why I am fast loosing respect for so called 'liberals'.

And the eventual question is that it is so intuitive and such a blind mark that equal height what you point out, what they are accomplishment and how they switch their credo what it comes about to black women, they refuse it and command that they are just being establish and trustworthy. I occupy been reviewing a number of articles penned by washed-out men in difficult to please over some of the media attention BWE work has garnered over the existence and customarily their sympathies are fabricated with black men!

In the same way as again I will go over that at hand is a power differential recent surrounded by black men and women due to males being cliquey in our society consequently black women cannot and should not be alleged truthful for the carve of important during the black social setting, certain as you listing for the overarching system's formative of the black situation, the like folk in line for being truthful for the black situation are black men. Date.

Do black women occupy a role in the state of affairs like a house on fire their own situation? Unmistaken and certain the fact that conclusively they end up steal the negative effect of it all (certain the effect of OOWetc etc are concluded on black women), reinforces for me the fact that they are not in the deep seat. Like I (and ceiling BWE) look what looking at the role of black women is that they are regularly colluding with black men towards their own compulsion and 'responding' in ways that drum up the situation to their own rate. This has a lot to do with how they are socialized and the doctrines and dogmas during which they are socialized, which causes this maladaptive result. As long as black women move to be alleged understanding by these black doctrines, they will move to fulfil in these maladaptive and maladjusted ways. This is why the Impetus of BWE work is to 'retrain' black women in the ways of looking after their own best comprise, to train black women in the ways of self-interest heed and self advocacy and make them become knowlegable about how how third parties are trying to pertain their rescources and efforts for their non-judgmental benefit and with no forethought of reciprocating!

WONDERING Almost INTERRACIAL DATING?

Online Dating Photos

Online Dating Photos Image
There are a couple of good tips to follow when it comes to your dating profile photos. First impressions are lasting ones so you need to ensure that yours leaves the right one with your viewers. A photo can reveal a lot about a person and their personality.

Studies have shown that combining a flirty look directly into the camera with a smile will result in the best response from viewers. You will have better results than smiling alone. It is very important to reveal the right facial expression since this is one of the first things your viewers will notice when looking at your photo. If you combine these two factors in your profile picture you will quickly notice the difference in results.

As with all photos, when you take a profile picture quality is a very important factor. You need to keep that in mind as most people prefer to look at a high quality dating photo as opposed to a lower quality one. Make use of a digital camera rather than a webcam or a cellphone camera to ensure your photo is a high quality one. Self-shot photos are also not a great idea as they are often uninteresting and also not good quality. Stick to a quality photo taken by somebody else; you will quickly notice the difference in results.

If you feel that you have a great body, don't be shy showing it in photos. If you are a guy you can include that six pack and girls can easily show a bit of cleavage in their profile photos. Interestingly enough, studies show that there are no real benefits in revealing your face in profile photos. People react more to the message that your photo portrays rather than seeing your face so this is entirely up to you when taking your photo. When you decide to arrange your first meeting just remember to ask for a photo showing their face first!

With these tips in mind you can take a perfectly interesting dating photo to add to your profile and see those hits increasing!

Triplicate Girl Superboy 147

Triplicate Girl Superboy 147 Image
SUPERBOY #147 (On Sale: March 14, 1968), also known as "80 Page Giant #G-47", features the "Legion of Super-Heroes" and sports a cover by CURT SWAN and NEAL ADAMS.

"The Origin of the Legion" is by E. NELSON BRIDWELL and PETE COSTANZA. In a room in the newly-built Legion Headquarters complex, three statues honor the group's founders. One, of Lightning Lad, wields electricity between its hands; Cosmic Boy's image suspends a metal ball between its hands with a magnetic charge; the third, of Saturn Girl, mentally communicates the story of the Legion's origin to all who enter the room.

On the planet Winath, Garth Ranzz bids his family goodbye, and boards a ship bound for Earth. He takes a seat next to another youth named Rokk Krinn, of the planet Braal. The two become friends, and Rokk explains that his people have magnetic powers, developed to battle the metal monsters of that world, and that, since he is considered an adult at fourteen, he is hoping to use his ability to find work on Earth. Garth, in turn, tells how he, his twin sister Ayla, and older brother Mekt gained the ability to wield lightning when they were attacked by lightning monsters on the wild planet Korbal, where their ship was forced to land. Mekt later disappeared, and Garth hopes that the Science Police on Earth can help find him.

Meanwhile, a shuttle craft from Saturn brings new passengers to the ship, including the richest man in the universe, R.J. Brande, and a gorgeous blonde bound for Earth's Science Police Academy, Imra Ardeen.

The ship finally reaches Earth's Metropolis Spaceport, and as its passengers debark, two men run up to them and reach for guns. Imra reads their minds and screams a warning, and Rokk and Garth immediately use their powers to disarm the killers. Imra's telepathy further tells her that Brande's cousin, Doyle, had sent them to kill the rich man, so that he could inherit his money and pay his debts to a gambling syndicate.

A grateful and impressed Brande summons the three youths to his office the following morning, where he suggests that they band together as a crime fighting organization to be bankrolled by him, and uses Superboy and Supergirl as examples. They all agree, and before long, Brande has them outfitted in new costumes and gives them new names to go with them: Rokk is now Cosmic Boy, Garth is Lightning Lad, and Imra is Saturn Girl. Brande Industries erects a yellow, rocket-shaped clubhouse for the trio, and their new computer selects Cosmic Boy as their leader.

The three then write a Legion Constitution, which contains strict-by-laws, and are voted honorary citizenship on all member worlds of the United Planets. They are also made deputies of the Science Police.

Some days later, they gain two members, Triplicate Girl, who reveals her power to them by having each separately accompany one of her three selves to the clubhouse, and Phantom Girl, who easily infiltrates their supposedly impenetrable headquarters, and is made a member on the grounds that she help secure them against "ghostly" intruders. Not bad for eight pages of story! Reprinted in "SECRET ORIGINS #6, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ARCHIVES VOL. 8 HC "and "SUPERBOY #147 REPLICA EDITION #1."

"The Boy with Ultra-Powers" from "SUPERBOY #98" is by JERRY SIEGEL, CURT SWAN and GEORGE KLEIN. A costumed youth called Ultra Boy secretly arrives in Smallville with his adult mentor, Marla, intent upon discovering Superboy's secret identity. Ultra Boy at first suspects that Pete Ross is the Boy of Steel, but then correctly deduces that Clark Kent is actually Superboy.

When Pete accidentally becomes locked in a bank vault, Ultra Boy's power of penetra-vision which, unlike Superboy's super-vision, can melt and see through lead, enables him to assist Superboy in rescuing Pete. He then reveals that he is a time-traveler from the future planet Rimbor and an applicant for membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes, who have assigned him the task of unmasking Superboy as an initiation test. Having completed the test, he and Marla, actually the Legion's Senior Advisor, return to the future.

"The Legion of Super-Traitors" from "ADVENTURE COMICS #293" is by JERRY SIEGEL, CURT SWAN and GEORGE KLEIN. When powerful alien creatures known as the Brain-Globes of Rambat scheme to move Earth to their own solar system, they realize that they must first subdue Superboy. After unsuccessfully attempting to control Superboy themselves, they summon the Legionnaires from the Earth's future, and mentally command them to defeat him.

Once this is done, the overconfident Brain-Globes release the heroes from their trance. Together, they are not powerful enough to defeat the aliens, until they notice that the Brain-Globes are incapable of controlling the minds of animals. Manning the Time Sphere, the Legionnaires gather Krypto, Streaky, Beppo, and Comet (aka Super-Dog, Super-Cat, Super-Monkey, and Super-Horse), who, united as the Legion of Super-Pets, defeat the Brain-Globes. The Legion returns them to their proper time eras before Superboy recovers to dismantle the Brain Globes' machines. Superboy remains unaware of the pets' involvement, and thus unaware of the future existence of Supergirl.

"Supergirl's Three Super-Girl Friends" from "ACTION COMICS #276" is by JERRY SIEGEL and JIM MOONEY. One year after first meeting the Legion, Supergirl is once again invited to try out for membership. In the 30th century, she is told that new rules allow two members to join each year, and meets several other applicants, including Brainiac 5, the descendant of the original Brainiac, one of Superman's greatest foes. She distrusts him until, after her own initiation test, he risks his life by giving her his force-shield belt to protect her from a giant Kryptonite meteor.

Along with Brainiac 5, who allows her to keep the belt, Supergirl is inducted into the Legion. She returns home confident that she'll never have to worry about Kryptonite again; however, an explosion damages the belt beyond repair, and she is vulnerable once more.

"The Secret of the Seventh Super-Hero" from" ADVENTURE COMICS #290" is by ROBERT BERNSTEIN and GEORGE PAPP. Tom Tanner, a juvenile delinquent escapee from the state reform school, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Clark Kent, arrives in Smallville and is mistaken for Clark by everyone, even Ma Kent, who unwittingly gives away Superboy's secret identity. Tanner decides that he likes his new life as Clark and intends to remain in his place.

Meanwhile, outside Smallville, Superboy meets with Sun Boy, the newest member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, who has arrived from the future. He explains that he is in the 20th century to gather and return to a secret vault the six pieces of a super-weapon once dismantled and buried in Superboy's time by the Legion. However, once the Boy of Steel gathers the pieces, Sun Boy, actually a villainous impostor, assembles them into a robot which emits a ray that can change good people into evil, and vice versa. He then sends the robot after Clark Kent.

Shortly thereafter, Superboy appears and begins an evil rampage, until such time as the bogus Sun Boy's guard is down. Then he destroys the robot, and takes the villain back to the future, where he explains to the Legion that the impersonator had given himself away by not giving the official Legion handshake.

The "Clark Kent" affected by the robot's ray was Tom Tanner, who as a result is reformed and loses his knowledge of Superboy's secret.

"The Legion of Super-Villains" reprinted from "SUPERMAN #147" is by JERRY SIEGEL, CURT SWAN AND SHELDON MOLDOFF. Lex Luthor, who has known of the existence of the Legion of Super-Heroes for years, theorizes that there should also be a Legion of Super-Villains, and, working from prison, he constructs a device that allows him to contact them. The Super-Villains break him out of jail, and, with him, lure Superman to a remote planetoid and capture him.

However, before these criminals can execute Superman, the adult Legion of Super-Heroes intervenes, and fights the Super-Villains to a standstill. Unable to defeat them, the Legionnaires listen as Luthor challenges them to sacrifice one of their number for Superman. Saturn Woman volunteers, and the villains allow the Man of Steel time to perform one last deed in her honor. With a giant shovel, he gathers some material from the rings of Saturn, and creates a similar ring around the planetoid. When he does, Saturn Queen surprises everyone by suddenly using her powers to defeat her partners.

Superman then explains that he had theorized that radiations from the rings of Saturn would cancel out the evil tendencies of inhabitants of that world. He gives the reformed Saturn Queen a small chunk from the rings that will prevent her from returning to evil, then takes Luthor back to his prison on Earth as the Legionnaires likewise take the Super-Villains to jail.

She Has A Boyfriend

"One Night Stands MasterclassTM: The Art Of Speed Seduction & Close"

If you're ready to finally kiss your fears of not knowing what to do to "escalate" with women goodbye
and give yourself the priceless skill to meet, attract and close women 100x FASTER than the average guy ever will... and leave with her wanting to go home and have sex with you... I have some exciting news for you...

I've slogged out the last 5 years (yes, that's FIVE excruciating long years!) putting together a brand new, first-of-its-kind program called "One Night Stands MasterclassTM: The Art Of Speed Seduction & Close"... and it's finally ready to rock! This program is not designed to simply educate you on the ins and outs of getting better with women... it's not just going to give you a few great lines and techniques... no....

It's where I go about deconstructing the exact blueprint... the shockingly simple cheat-tricks... the age-old, guarded techniques you couldn't even concoct if you tried... and the repeatable, yet discreet, training methods that has transformed clueless virgins into many of the world's best top seducers ">...Is The Down-Right, Dirty-Dog, "Next, NEXT Level" Stuff...

Amongst others, it has been specifically designed to help you:

Create the "romantic bubble" with women that makes a One Night Stand possible.

(Women always talking about "chemistry"-they want to feel like they're "supposed" to be with the guy who winds up taking them home, as if it was meant to be. I'll show you how to create this chemistry by combining the right ingredients, using my secret "magic potion")

This requires you to start EVERYTHING the right way; interaction, conversation, communication, what you say, what you do to make yourself ooze with raw, dirty, naughty sexual appeal that gets her feeling sexually attracted to you and up for sex tonight.

At this point, it's crucial to also make sure that this situation has the right LOGISTICS that will make a One Night Stand possible. You obviously don't want to waste your time using these techniques on girls who, for whatever reason, cannot hook up with you tonight.

(And if she mentions that she has a boyfriend, this should not faze you. I'll explain why girls with boyfriends are often 5x EASIER to seduce!)

Escalate and get her into your bed-in a way that feels comfortable and natural to her.

You will overcome the 9 objections that are hard-wired into the female brain...because no matter how smooth your tactics are, if she still has doubts and objections, she will come up with a reason not to f*ck you.

It also accounts for the fact that all girls are NOT the same and every one of them needs a different "closing recipe."

Case in point: There are some girls who will allow you to quickly sexually escalate on them after they're attracted to you. Others need to feel comfort and connection before they'll sleep with you. Others just want to be "seduced" (these are the ones you can sleep in an hour or less if you know what you're doing!).

7 Tips For A First Date

7 Tips For A First Date Image
Question: Hey Briddick,first off thanks for your great advice. I called her and set up the first date in a cafe. Now to my questions: what

should I do to keep this spark sizzling as far as the first date is concerned? In other words, what would be the best plan for the first date?

Answer: The first date is going to be the ice breaker. It's where you both get to feel one another out. My suggestion is this

1) Don't put any expectations on the outcome. It can be easy to play out in your head the date going a certain way and if it doesn't, you could get discouraged and thrown off. That being said, make a promise to yourself that no matter how she acts you're going to have fun. This is so important. Woman want a guy who's FUN! And also, if she throws a curveball (which probably won't happen) you'll be ready and be able to adapt accordingly.

2) Don't try to impress her. She's already agreed to go on a date with you which means she already has some initial interest in you. A lot of men try too hard to say the right things. Just be yourself and don't worry if you say something uncool or goofy. Your natural uninhibited self is your best self

3)Have a couple of stories you can relate to and talk about. What do you like to do? What interesting things can you talk about in your life. If often quiet and tend to run out of things to say with people spend a half hour before the date just talking out loud. Read a book. Sing a song. Get out of your head and become comfortable articulating your thoughts and speaking about your life.

4) Ask interesting questions. As it's a first date you're probably going to get the run of the mill (what do you do? where are you from?) interview type questions. It's inevitable. But try mixing it up as well and dig deeper by asking "how did it make you feel when.) or what was it like when X? Good questions can open the conversation flood gates and allow to really get to KNOW someone.

5) Listen to her. Don't just pretend to listen. Actually hear what she has to say, understand where's coming from and try to feel what she feels when she's speaking. Empathy allows you to connect with another person on a very intimate leve. From her listening ask relevant questions (ie omg what was the like? Was it hard for you when you") etc

6) Make good eye contact. The window to the soul is in the eyes. When speaking and listening don't be afraid to hold her gaze just a little bit longer than normal. Believe it or not, attraction alone can be generated from making the right kind of eye contact.

7) Dress to impress. Don't wear something you wouldn't normally wear. But sport your finest threads. All the little things make a difference. This also includes grooming- shower, floss, teeth, hair, etc. You want to take care of everything that is in your control and how you look is 100% in your hands.

Cheers,

Briddick

Sociology Human Nature As Parametric Limit

Sociology Human Nature As Parametric Limit Image
In the post on engine design, commentator R Brockman made the following comment;

"The interesting question is whether there are multiple stable equilibrium points. What happens when a society goes outside the set of parameters that it was "designed" for? Advanced technology has radically changed our life -- do the Old Design Rules still work?"I think that this warrants some further elaboration. It's my belief, and a cursory examination of history will confirm, that it is possible to have different type of societies (i.e equilibrium points) but only only within certain limits. The whole point about the "Tao of Life" is that there is more commonality amongst enduring societies than than there are differences.

I suppose the reason why there is limited range of equilibrium points within a human societal "system" is because the material from which human society is built, human nature, puts constraints on types of societal structures that can be maintained. Human capabilities with regard to jealousy, trust, fear, love, friendship, etc. are the limiting factors with regard to human interaction. Human nature is the material from which societal "engines" are formed, and this in turn places limits on the type of enduring societies that are possible.

An example of this is with regard to sexuality. Most men naturally desire variety and it would be expected, that given this nature, societies would develop which would cater to this fact. Yet it's pretty obvious that culturaly advanced polyamorous societies have failed to develop, since sexual activity occurs in the context of other parameters such as reproduction, love and investment. Any society that attempted to institute such a practice would be torn apart by feuds, lusts, jealousy etc. Likewise, Communism, a great idea in theory, fails because it ignores the fact the human nature responds to incentives.

Human nature, being what it is, therefore limits the type of advanced societies that can exist.

What we do tend to see is that amongst primitive peoples there does seem to be more latitude with respect to human nature and stable "society", but as a society becomes bigger and culturally advances, the potential for alternative normative behaviors lessens.

Sociology Your Dating Road Map

Sociology Your Dating Road Map Image

As a dating and relationship coach, I've provided solutions to singles' dating problems as well as ways to think about your dating behaviors. Mostly, I've had you focus on the people you're dating, giving you guidance and tools for determining if someone has the potential to be your "soulmate," or life partner.

But it looks like this hasn't been enough, because I still receive questions like: "Why can't I meet the kind of women I want to date?" and "What's wrong with me that I end up dating men who don't care about the same things I do?"

These types of questions are indicative of a problem in what is called the "attraction" phase of dating - making sure that once you are "ready" to date, you will attract the kind of people who can meet your needs and requirements in a relationship. Understanding what it takes to attract the kind of people you want to date will require creating what I call a "dating road map."

What is a "dating road map?" It's exactly that - a "map" or a plan for describing, finding and attracting the person you want for a life partner. Having a dating road map helps to guide you and to keep focused on your ultimate destination of attaining the relationship you want. The alternative? Well, you could choose to simply wait for Prince or Princess Charming to drop magically into your life.

Creating your dating road map starts with describing your "ideal mate." Your ideal mate will have a combination of qualities and characteristics that fit into one of two categories. The first of these categories consists of the enduring qualities -- honesty, kindness, generosity, loyalty, trustworthiness and integrity. Included in this category are the interpersonal skills necessary to making and sustaining a committed relationship. These qualities are considered non-negotiable and mandatory.

The second category consists of your personal preferences: looks/beauty, intelligence, professional interests or occupation, financial stability or level of success, family background and involvement, hobbies, degree of religious involvement. These qualities can be more flexible and negotiable.

The next step in creating your dating road map is to describe yourself. Think about and ask yourself these questions: What are my strengths? What are my limitations? What do I have to give in a relationship? Think also about your goals in life- What is important to me? What is my life path? Knowing who you are and where you're headed in life influences how you use your dating road map to search for, and especially attract, suitable candidates to date.

When your dating road map is ready - it has your vision of what you're looking for, as well as an understanding of who you are and what's important to you -- your next goal is to reach your map's destination. In other words -- go out and find him or her! Unfortunately, this sounds easier said than done.

That's why the next step involves comparing your two lists -- the one describing your ideal mate, and the one describing yourself. Looking at the description of your ideal mate, begin to imagine what he or she would be looking for in a partner. Taking the perspective of the partner you want, ask yourself - "WHAT WOULD THE PERSON THAT I'M LOOKING FOR, BE LOOKING FOR?"

I consider this a process of "qualifying" yourself for who you want to attract, and is an opportunity to "be who you want." That's because people frequently don't realize that our relationships tend to mirror who we are on the inside. Regardless of what we say we want, we will generally attract a partner reflecting who we are and where we're at in our lives.

This means that attracting the partner you want requires "qualifying" yourself by developing yourself and living the kind of life that you want now. While I agree that you may not be able to live your ideal life without a partner, you should still live your life to the fullest as a way of preparing to meet your eventual life partner.

So, knowing that who you are and where you're at influences who you attract, the next question is obvious -- what do you need to change, improve, or work on, in order to qualify to be the partner for the ideal mate you desire? Here are some examples of areas ripe for improvement:

Are you hoping for a spouse to rescue you from your boring and unstimulating job? Take a course NOW to help you find a more rewarding and gratifying career.

Eating junk food and take-out all of the time, saying that you're waiting for a partner to cook healthy, gourmet meals for, or with, you? Enroll in a cooking class NOW to learn how to shop and cook yourself.

Feeling down because you're not getting responses to the emails you've sent to profiles you've seen online? Combat those feelings NOW by joining and working out at a gym. You'll feel better about yourself physically, and psychologically.

Following the part of your dating road map that's more about you stops you from looking at others to change or be different to suit you. It also prevents you from blaming your misery on your single status. While the three examples I gave above were designed to empower you to grow and change, they were also ways to possibly meet others with similar goals -- such as learning, cooking healthy, and exercising. By focusing on yourself and determining how to improve your chances of attracting the people you want to attract, you are preparing yourself, i.e., "qualifying" yourself, for the partner and relationship you want.

Dating can be filled with frustrating and ungratifying experiences. Creating a dating road map can be just the strategy you need to clarify your vision, and to help you feel more in control as you pursue a loving and fulfilling life partner relationship.

Who To Date Or Not Date

Who To Date Or Not Date
I handhold been a continuing monogamist and fair got out from a very ordinary relationship. I handhold not been on many first dates formerly to online dating. Now that I am dating above regularly, questions came up about who to date or not date. Such as are the rules or restrictions?

Associations AND Generation


- Would you date a friend? I handhold qualms about dating close friends while it may wreck our friendship if the romance doesn't work out. The exception may be if I think it may perhaps lead to something very unpleasant, next I may risk it. I am fine with dating an acquaintance, or a friend who is not fairly close. But it may get unclean if we deal out a escalate of friends. I handhold a friend who won't date everyone who knows any of his friends. He thinks it may put the two-sided friend in an confused situation.

- Would you mind being set up by a friend? That seems safer so it is above puerile.

- How about dating a friend's ex, if your friend is due fine with it (and they very soon mean it)?

- Would you date a colleague? Too, it may be gather to date a ally or qualities who works in the building, in shoot at the romance does not work out.

Harass


- Would you date qualities who is excruciatingly alluring but a player/bad boy, or is dangerously dumb? Doubtless he would be a good applicant for a see into the future but a ordinary relationship would be unlikable. And would you feel jealous about a great deal women eyeing your stud, or would it ram your ego instead?

- Or the inverse: readily understood but has a great personality? Doubtless attraction will at last develop or possibly physicality is not deep to you.

- Or how about "not "dating qualities based on a value, such as smoking, ingestion, making a bet, or picking their basis in public?

Profession


- If qualities is attractive and has a utter personality, but had a low paying or plod job, would you date them? One limitation in the payment would be practicality. Would you mind dwell revenue to revenue, or not dwell delightfully, if that was the case?

- Or what if his job paid well but the job is not fully regarded (e.g., sanitation worker)? Wearing comes the issue of "social class" (for lack of a better term).

- Or what if he has a fine profession but it may unexpected you stress (e.g., you may worry each time your cop or firefighter boyfriend is on affair, or you may be frustrated your capitalist boyfriend spends countless hours operational)?

- Such as if you moreover make a decent salary, but one person's salary is in detail opposite from the other?

I in person don't mind what the guy's profession is, as long as he contributes to the relationship in some way (e.g., hysterically perceptive, treats me well, helps something like the position - it doesn't handhold to be financially, but of stretch, it would be nice). I may be above sensitive if his profession causes me to stress despite the fact that (e.g., his job is not safe or has fairly long hours).

DEMOGRAPHICS


"- Would you not "date qualities based on age or race? Doubtless you feel that donate is less of a connection due to with a reduction of similarities. I felt this way on a few of my dates.

- How about status or weight? If the person had the best personality but was 4' feet or 7' feet tall, would you date them?

- How about if they handhold a out of the ordinary religion? Doubtless this depends on how devout you are, or how opposite your church viewpoint are.

- Would you date qualities who is married but unconnected, or departure tell a divorce? Would you be sensitive about the companion is still knotty in the person's life?

- How about if the person has children? They will rightly give their youthful position over you. And you would as well handhold to style a relationship with their youthful. You date them, you date their family.

- Such as about long distance relationships? These are as a matter of fact hard and it takes dreary above trek to hold the relationship, but it does relief as a good test.

- Would you date qualities with a disability or handicap? Doubtless that depends on the type of disability or handicap?

Finding


As you can see, donate are many factors to think about seeing that we park whether to date qualities or not. Sometimes we handhold a computerized type of person in mind who we think is good for us, but the shoot at may be that the person who is austerely good for us is not be the person we envisioned. And we may not meet them in the way we musing we would. One vindication why I am dating out of the ordinary guys is to learn above about what I want and don't want in a partner.

Life coaching is a burgeoning field in the world of professional and personal increase, and party leaders increasingly are hiring life coaches to help them scurry personal and career goals. But how do you discriminate if a life coach is the right person to hire? Being are some squeeze to look for in a life coach?

But if you want to make confident to hire a real professional, who has been broken in and certified in core conscience and best practices, then you require make confident to hire a certified professional life coach who has identification from a conventional training program or professional association. For example, for my identification as a coach and consulting hypnotherapist, I include been certified by the Strike of Neuro-Linguistic Cryptogram, Pomp Bludgeon of Hypnotists, American Cabin of Hypnotherapy, and Add Coach, a training program for life coaches run by best-selling author and success coach Mike Litman.

A good life coach require act as a confidant and sounding accommodate - you require be able to open up to your life coach and trust them a load to section your ideas, hopes, thoughts and fears. A good life coach require furthermore include a professional attitude - if a life coach just doesn't arrive on the scene downright "put together," or seems unclear or impassive, that possibly will be a deterrent sign.
* DO I Absence THE Middle Self-possession OF THIS Life COACH? Not all life coaches include the extremely style of coaching. A selection of life coaches are top-quality "unexcited and indistinct," at what time others guide top-quality of a "gristly love" approach. A selection of people love to work with a life coach who is top-quality like a friend, at what time others want a life coach to be top-quality of a "problem sergeant" who will help them draft up and get in stuff with unvarnished opinions.

Expectations One Knight In Brooklyn A New 1ns By Casea Major

Expectations One Knight In Brooklyn A New 1ns By Casea Major Image

At times we, as human beings, have high expectations for our lives. It's good to have goals and reach for the stars for how else can we see what's possible. To prepare and plan for the future is a good thing. And to gain something long desired through effort and hard work is satisfying. But sometimes we get our hearts set on something that isnot only unrealistic, but will ultimately make us unhappy.

Several years ago when I was still young and single, neither of which I am now, I bought a Mustang convertible. I'd always wanted one, craved one. Of course it had to be the V-8 engine fully-loaded, and I thought it would make me happy. On beautiful days there was nothing like driving around with the top down. But I never considered the consequences of having that car. The least of which was not the cost of the payment and insurance, not to mention all the speeding tickets. Getting in and out of the damn thing was another issue. And please don't remind me of the cost of gas.

In truth, what I wanted was the idea of my hair blowing in the breeze and the attention that driving a flirty car brings. And it did not make me happy. Don't get me wrong. I was glad for the experience of owning it, and there were genuine times of joy in that car. (heehee - I will say no more) But it taught me a valuable lesson -- When you drive with the top down, hair gets in your face and the tangles are a bitch to comb out.

This was the idea behind my 1Night Stand story, "ONE KNIGHT IN BROOKLYN".

Like me, my heroine, Marianne longs for something she thinks she wants. But her desire isn't based in reality. It's based in a fantasy world that doesn't exist. Victoria, the mysterious concierge, gives Marianne this piece of advice:

"My grandfather was a mariner, and he always said the Treasure of Cortez would never be found until the one who sought it looked beyond their desire. Many wondrous treasures are often overlooked, Ms. Caldwell, for those that seek them cannot see beyond their own expectations."

When we have our hearts set on something, it's hard to look past expectations to see what the results of gaining our desire will bear. To let go of a long held wish is difficult. But I believe, when we're able to see past those false expectations and let go of them-for the right reasons- we are blessed with something far better. A deeper understanding of ourselves.

Here is an excerpt of "ONE KNIGHT IN BROOKLYN "where Marianne sees Robert her 1NS date for the first time:

"She tentatively walked along the forest's edge down into the rolling hills of the meadow. The high grass tickled her calves, and the smell of clover scented the air. A rustling in the undergrowth of the forest followed by a melodic whistle startled her. She froze."A man stepped out of the forest clad in tight brown leggings and a blousy ecru tunic. Though the shirt laced in a V-neck, he wore it loose, revealing a patch of hair against tanned skin that stretched over his chest and broad shoulders. She indulged in the masculine treat. "Catching her gaze, he strode toward her with the confidence of a master champion. She quietly gasped, pinned by sapphire eyes sparkling with a sensual promise he could surely make good on. He'd tied a light wool cape at his neck and it casually fell over his shoulder. Short hair framed his head in brown waves, and his freshly-shaven face relaxed in composure."He smiled, revealing a deep dimple and straight white teeth. Her breath quickened, and her mouth went dry. She wanted him right then. And somehow it didn't matter where she was as long as he accompanied her."Perfectly proportioned, he fit her precise specifications. Her gaze flitted to his crotch. Though covered by the tunic, enough of a bulge pressed against the gauzy fabric to assure her of the fulfillment of even that desire. This man wasn't a knight; he was a god. Strong.Magnificent...."

"And then her paradigm shifted as something unfortunate happened-he spoke."

"ONE KNIGHT INBROOKLYN" is available for purchase on the Decadent website and at most major retailers. Go get it now - before they run out! LOL
