Almost all foreign bride sites tell you about the women which are in their database that are:
“gentle, respectful, and loving”
“strongly maternal and family-oriented”
“plays a subordinate role to men in both the public and private spheres”
“a mail order bride does not really ask for a lot”
I am sure that you have read these facts about women who are seeking a western man for marriage or friendship. But how can we classify thousands of women just in a few words?
The scarcity of suitable husbands in Romania has led many marriage-minded Romanian women to explore the possibility of pursuing a Western man.
1. Romanian mail order brides are not character-less toy dolls. She needs what every woman needs: a good husband.
While there is no denial that a substantial number of foreign brides hope to live a better life in a western culture, it is just as legitimate to argue that a fat bank account does not top the list of qualities that these women look for in a man.
What women want is a man who is honest, loyal, sincere, respectful, and able to provide for her children basic needs. The same happens with western women too.
2. A Romanian bride does not harbor the illusion of landing a millionaire for a husband, but instead pins her hopes on finding a man with strength of character, a shared respect for family values, and the financial means to adequately support a family.
Romanian woman perceive Western men as decent, responsible, easy going guys who know how to treat their women well.
3. Because she is a healthy balance of traditional values and a modern, tolerant outlook, the Romanian brides possesses the intelligence and sensibility to adapt to a western environment without sacrificing her norms and customs.
4. Most of the ladies who apply to dating agencies can at least read and understand English.There are doctors, lawyers, teachers, government employees, sales clerks with ages ranging from 18 to 40-plus.
5. A Romanian bride is just seeking the man of his life. Are You the one?
If you believe in destiny you should check out some Romanian brides. Your soulmate can be right there.
6. Just BE YOURSELF when you get in touch with these women and you will be surprised to see the success you'll have.
7. NEVER try impersonate someone you are not. Not only will you come across as insincere, but you will also feel uncomfortable and make others feel this way right along with you.
8. Never tell lies to your date or pretend anything about your life that isn't true. If this is your perfect match for God's sake do not allow it to be ruined by some silly lie told early on.
Trying to be cool, aggressive generally just makes you awkward and unapproachable. Relax, be natural, be the you that your friends and others who know and like you, see and appreciate.
9. Show Enthusiasm but stop acting like Kiss-Ass Wussbags. Romanian Brides are looking for someone that would ADD VALUE to their lives!
And don't forget that you don't have to impress all the women, only those which are things in common with you: same goals, same interests. You have to know what are you looking for.
Just try, maybe you are single only because you haven't searched in the right place yet. :)

Poker Strategies for Women
The gambling world is a man's world, and poker is a man's game, of course it does not have to be this way, and naturally there is a chance it will change sometime in the future. For now, it does not necessarily have to be a disadvantage for women gamblers. The trick is to recognize the differences between male and female players and to act on them in the best way possible.
So if you have tried you way around the internet in a few of the best online casinos and you want to try the real thing at a land based casinos, these tips are for you.
First thing about being a woman in a men's world is that it is not far from being a tourist in a foreign country. Even tough you don't know the code of behavior, and you are constantly make basic mistake, you being forgiven for not knowing the rules because you do not really belong here and the locals are usually very patient and understanding towards foreigners.
Inside the gambling world you can easily feel the competitive atmosphere, which brings out different qualities from the average person. I am speaking of qualities such as distrust, aggressiveness and sometimes even paranoia. At this kind of state people tend not to get close to anyone they do not know.
If you are an outsider, who appears clueless and harmless, you will be able to get information and special treatment that other players, who appear more threatening then you, wouldn't. So it doesn't matter how well you know the game or not, if you act as if you know close to nothing you will get a lot of inside tips that can help you win big. What is that have to do with being a woman? Well, it is easier for a man to believe that a woman knows nothing in this area then if it was a man. This is a female advantage based on a male disadvantage.
The second female advantage I would like to talk about is the natural advantage of the gender interaction. Women have the natural gift of confusing men and the last thing you do not want to do at a casino is get confused. Now I know not all man get confused by women, but it is not just a sexual thing, but also an energy kind of thing, if a woman knows how to operate her natural charm, it does not matter if the man in front of her prefer women or not.
The third female advantage is the ability to do several things at once without getting any of them damaged by another. At the poker table the players have to be concentrate on the game, on the other players and on the bettings. This ability allows you women to do all in a better concentration level then those of the male players playing against you.
The last tip, but certainly not the least, is to enjoy the game. Whether you win or lose, you have done absolutely nothing if you did not enjoy the journey.

Netting Women – Meeting the Perfect Girl Online
Lots of men often ask me if meeting women on the street and in public isn’t gradually becoming obsolete in today’s modern society with the growing popularity of the internet. My answer to that is: Have vehicles become obsolete since the growing popularity of aviation?
The truth is that the internet serves it purpose. Is there really any method to which you can compare which can have you meeting women from as close as the girl next door on your street as far as all four corners of the globe, all with a single click? Probably not.
But just like everything else the internet as a method for meeting women has its advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, there is no comparison to seeing a woman in the flesh who you admire and plotting the course to meeting her and ultimately becoming a part of her life. Of course this too can be done on the internet; but one big difference on the internet, the woman is virtual.
Over the past few months I have taken a look at a few of the sites out there which have crept up to fill this void which introduce men and women to each other and all the ones which I have seen all seem to serve their purpose to some effect. As a matter of fact, I have known people who have met their perfect matches on some of these sites and have even gone on to do the ultimate. But on the other hand I am all to familiar with people who have come away from the internet experience so beaten, broke, frustrated and battered because they have been disappointed, disillusioned and let down, by such things as the photo collectors those e-women who only collect photographs of people they “meet” on the net or those women who supply fake photographs that bear no resemblance to who they actually look like. Then they are those who like Miss Haversham from the old novel “Great Expectations” having been spurned and burned by relationships in the past they set out to trawl the net causing as much pain as possible to every man whom she happens to come across - and the internet is full of these women.
In this age of political correctness and women’s liberation these women are more than likely wreaking vengeance on the spineless men of the net as vengeance for the absence of men approaching them off of it.
I have come to verify that experiences on the internet aren’t too different for the women either. However, there’s one caveat for the fairer sex: the men that these ladies hope to and do attract are so desperate for attention and anything else on offer that they are willing to jump through every hoop which the women put in front of them so that they can have the chance to be with these women - and these hoops are in no short supply!!! These men are willing to pander (virtually and really) to these women’s’ every need, and numerous net-women have to practically fight these characters off with a stick.
Some examples of this are like telling them such things as the kind of things they should do in the photographs and the style of photo that they should supply in order to obtain “special consideration.” Even though the ones that they themselves have on show are often generic. As well as cross-examining these men akin to a prosecutor to an accused – all to eventually declare a mistrial.
For this, special consideration, these men are rewarded by the women in due course neither showing up for meetings, nor returning email and calls and similar things, and maybe some verbal abuse, if they are lucky.
Some of the women seem like the perfect women who you really would want to meet and introduce to mother but then you realise that you have been more or less automatically eliminated as soon you read the profile. Now that’s honesty, but what are you then supposed to do run away with your tail between your legs or stick around, call the bluff, face the challenge and try to convince her otherwise? And suppose you do in the most unlikely event convince her, what about the fundamental point that never would have worked in the first place.
Then they are the ones that you never hear from and those are the high-quality ones. I know a single friend of mine whose phone was always ringing off the hook with calls from these women but he meets few of them and has never got past first base as he would wish with any of them. We figured out it was because he was giving these women too much “special consideration” on his web space and profile. After he ceased that desperate practice all this has started to change.
Look, the internet can be and is a fun place to meet women, and it seems like this will remain so for quite some time, however it is helpful not to take the women who you meet on the there too seriously, that is until you get personally to know them. Additionally the odds are and can be - stacked in your favour away from the modem.
One thing that men must remember: is that on the internet it is easy for any man to “approach” any woman and tell her anything. But it takes a special man to actually approach a woman on in person.
A lot of the skills that will be prove very helpful if you really want to get into this thing you can find in the book, “The Lazy Man’s Guide to Seduction: How To Meet & Seduce Today’s Modern Women”. It’s an information packed guide about approaching, meeting and seducing women in the modern world and puts you at a definite advantage when it comes to building proper relationships with women. It will save men loads of time in their online as well as offline pursuits with women.

Tips On Flirting, How To Flirt With Girls
Tips On Flirting And Approaching Women, A Simple Guide On How To Flirt With Girls.
Creating an attraction with women is the next important thing in dating. Now apart from the natural ways I spoke about earlier you can also create an attraction by building a good rapport with women. How do you do this? Very simple, by flirting of course!
Many of you probably know what flirting is but do you really know what it’s used for? The great thing about being a successful flirt is that you won’t just open up their minds to you, but you are able to actually attract women and make it to the next step of dating just by being a good flirt. Meeting, approaching and attracting women is made so much easier when you are good at flirting with girls.
Want to know how to flirt with girls? It’s very simple as the tips on flirting below will illustrate:
Tip 1: Enjoying yourself while flirting is the first important tip. As with dating if you are too tense you have a higher chance of screwing up. Also, women are more likely to be attracted to men who are relaxed rather than tensed up about having a simple conversation with them.
Tip 2: Showing off your personality is a big part of how to flirt with girls. Don’t be like the other guys and fall for using the same old pick up lines over and over again thinking that if you use it enough some girls will fall for it eventually. Jokes and tricks are well and good when you’re trying to approach women but make sure that you add your own unique flavor to it.
Tip 3: Stay calm and collected when you’re flirting with girls. A charming collected guy is sexy and a desperate loser is not. Remember that flirting is not the be-all of dating and one girl rejecting you is not the end of the world. If you’re going to be a good flirt you have to be light hearted about things
Tip 4: Try to show off your charms and sense of humor when you are flirting with girls. Part of how to flirt with girls include just chatting with them and building up a rapport. While the conversation is going on pay attention to what she is saying, what she is interested in and show her that you do understand.
Tip 5: And last but not least, no tips on flirting would be complete without this piece of advice. Flirt with everyone! The more you flirt the better you will get at it. If you focus on only flirting with one type of women then you won’t know how to flirt with girls. You also run the risk of sounding stale. So avoid this by going all out and making ‘friends’ with every woman that you meet.

Date Girls, Dating Women
Dating Women Made Easy With The Right Dating Tips! You Can Date Girls Almost Instantly!
When you date girls, there are a few things to remember. Dating rules are one thing, but in order to be successful at dating women, there are a few tips you should know about.
Firstly, don’t lie! Lying about something just makes it harder for the future or even now. Sure it might sound impressive to the girls but what if they like you for it instead? Would you like attracting women through lies? Plus, after the next few dates will you still remember the exact same story? You also have to remember that relationships built on lies just don’t work out.
When you go out on dates, you also have to remember that girls love men who have strong sense of humor. If you’re naturally funny, that’s even better! The ability to make women laugh is a valuable one. If she’s laughing, it means that she’s having a good time with you. That and the fact that she’ll remember what a positively great time she had.
The next tip is to plan your surprises well. Great dates with girls often come from these surprises. However, you should only surprise her when you have a genuine idea of what she may like. If you surprise her with something that she dislikes on the first date, she’ll be forced to enjoy it. Then she probably wouldn’t go out with you again because of the bad time associated with the surprise date.
Finally, the most important tip to being successful at attracting women is to be yourself! Pretending to be someone else doesn’t work because you won’t be able to keep it up forever. That and the fact that it would suck to have her attracted to you for different reasons. Wouldn’t you prefer dating a woman who would date you for who you are?

Successful Weight Loss After Pregnancy
How fast you lose weight will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of weight you gained during your pregnancy.
Most women will lose anywhere from 10-14 pounds within the first 2 weeks of delivery. This weight may be attributed primarily to the loss of excess fluid in the body, the baby's weight, the placenta and amniotic fluid. Some women might lose a little bit less, and others might lose a little bit more.
As the uterus shrinks back down to its normal size and your hormone levels continue to fall, you will lose weight. Most women gain at least 7 pounds of fat during pregnancy. This fat is meant to help women store energy while breastfeeding. How fast this weight comes off will depend on a number of factors including: genetics, your overall health, diet and exercise.
You should expect that it will take a little bit of time to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy. It did after all take you nine months to put that weight on! Many women have successfully lost weight however, in just a few short months after a delivery.
Some women will hang on to the last few pounds they have to lose until they stop breastfeeding. Your body may want to cling to a few extra pounds to ensure you have enough energy to provide adequate milk for the baby. Every woman's experience is unique with respect to this.
The good news is that with a solid nutritional program and with moderate exercise, you can expect to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy within a reasonable time frame.
Most women will be back to their pre pregnancy weight within nine months of delivering IF they follow a regular exercise program and eat healthily after delivery. That said some women will lose their pregnancy weight in as little as six to twelve weeks!

Most women will lose anywhere from 10-14 pounds within the first 2 weeks of delivery. This weight may be attributed primarily to the loss of excess fluid in the body, the baby's weight, the placenta and amniotic fluid. Some women might lose a little bit less, and others might lose a little bit more.
As the uterus shrinks back down to its normal size and your hormone levels continue to fall, you will lose weight. Most women gain at least 7 pounds of fat during pregnancy. This fat is meant to help women store energy while breastfeeding. How fast this weight comes off will depend on a number of factors including: genetics, your overall health, diet and exercise.
You should expect that it will take a little bit of time to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy. It did after all take you nine months to put that weight on! Many women have successfully lost weight however, in just a few short months after a delivery.
Some women will hang on to the last few pounds they have to lose until they stop breastfeeding. Your body may want to cling to a few extra pounds to ensure you have enough energy to provide adequate milk for the baby. Every woman's experience is unique with respect to this.
The good news is that with a solid nutritional program and with moderate exercise, you can expect to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy within a reasonable time frame.
Most women will be back to their pre pregnancy weight within nine months of delivering IF they follow a regular exercise program and eat healthily after delivery. That said some women will lose their pregnancy weight in as little as six to twelve weeks!

Women's Day- Should It Be Celebrated?
When we celebrate a day, we consider something special about that day. Or we would not be celebrating it. Am I correct? What message do we send by celebrating Womens Day? Why not also celebrate Mens Day?
What do we want to think about women? Ideally, they should be treated equally in all the fields. Ideally when one thinks of a woman, one should not think about them different in any respect to men. Except that they mother a child and shoulder different responsibility for a certain period, women should be thought of as equal to men in all respects. Why label them as weaker sex or any such thing. But this is happening. Who is responsible for this thought process, where women are considered different? Men? Women? Historical processes? Who? Let us examine more. Does nature differentiate between clouds and mountains? Or between rivers and oceans/ no. All co exist without any differences, and each plays its role beautifully. Please look at some scenes of nature before proceeding further. Click Nature Screensavers and Nature wallpapers
Coming back, let us talk of media and its opinion making .Does media discuss the matter, if a man reaches top of a giant corporation? No. But it does if a woman occupies that position. Why? Is it only because women have traditionally not occupied such positions or that they are in some way considered inferior to men? So it is a surprise if a woman reaches the top of a giant organization? Why cannot the media ignore such occurrences and not call them as news at all? Does media announce - the sun rose today! No. It is taken as a way of life and nature. Why can not media take this fact as granted that women are equal to men in all the aspects and stop discussing any issues that talk of sex difference and ability?
Does Womens Day not do the same thing? Does it now somehow manage to project women as different then men in many ways? Going forward in the discussion, should we have different events for men and women in sports? With such categorization are we ourselves not treating men and women separately?

What Do Women Want From Men
It's no secret that men and women are different. It is no news that they look for different things in a relationship. They all want different things, different men for their different personalities. What do women want from men? There are as many answers as there are types of women: young, old, fat, skinny, talkative, quiet, beautiful, not so beautiful.
One thing that is clear is that everyone looks for a perfect relationship. Men are remarkable by their caution and carefulness. Women though are much more fussy. When it comes to choosing men, they not only have a greater list of requirements, they're also keen to make the effort to help the guy change. But despite their striving for talking things through, most men still struggle to understand exactly what women need to be happy with them.
What do women want? They just want to be happy like us. They just have a different way to show it. If you learn their language, listen when you’d rather speak, hug instead of just walking away, tell the truth till it hurts, be a man she can depend on and love her like you love yourself. You’ll no longer ask what women want, they’ll be asking you what you want and give it to you.
Here are some true things that we can say safely women want from men.
Value. Women want to know that their man is someone other women would want. They want a certain "gotta have" quality about their man. This is why, when we go out with a girlfriend, women give us looks and always seem more interested. It’s annoying but true: the easiest way to get a girl, is to have one already!
Structure. A woman wants stability, balance, a sense of order. She wants someone she can rely on. You say you’re going to be home at 9:00, you be home at 9:00. You are late? Call. The hardest thing for us guys is to differenciate between support and total control. Creating a foundation and stability doesn’t mean trying to solve all the problems to the point you disempower the one you love. Your love is not a crutch but a bond. A bond where dependability is synonymous with trust.
Security. Women want to feel safe with a man. They want to know that everyting’s gonna be all right. This doesn’t mean you have to be huge and strong, or have millions in the bank. It just means you have to talk reassuringly to her, look after her safety, and assure her when she needs it that things are going to be OK.
Love . Love them most of all. Let it all out. Let it all out every day, every minute of every second of every day. Be love, crawl up inside of it and approach every problem with the question what would love do now? If you do this, fear will never enter your life.
Appreciation. Women DO want to feel appreciated. They just don’t want to be obsessed over. Guys, show interest in a woman, and make her feel beautiful and wanted - but don’t slave over her and make her feel like you can’t live without her. That’s just pathetic, and drives women away.
Don’t lie. A woman can forgive a lot of things but she won’t put up with a snake in the grass liar. If once she caught you that you lied her she would never have more trust in you. Lie to a woman you are dissing her. Tell the truth, you live to play another day.
Hug her. Hug her in the morning, hug her before you leave to work, e-mail her a hug and hug her ten times when you get home. You must make her feel loved and protected.
Smile. Women don't like boring men .Be someone who smiles, who doesn't take life too seriously, who lets loose. That shows a lot more value than a guy who’s stiff and serious - even if he is good looking or wealthy.
A woman want a man with a purpose. It's not necessary to have a lot of money and a great car but they do want to be headed towards success. They do want to living up to your potential.
So, as a summary women like to be understood, happiness, respect and they also want honesty. But, as the time goes by, the woman wishes change because she is setting new goals. Why men can’t figure women out is because they are a masterpiece in progress.

Learn How Women Communicate
We all know that this world is full of women, but all are different. It is said that it is very hard to understand women that's why here are some true statements about how they communicate that you can learn from and see how it applies to your girlfriend, wife or other woman you know.
Women don’t need to have a particular reason to talk; they like to talk because it creates connection.
So they always want to have near them someone who wants to listen and talk with them. Also, women use talking as a way to release tension. There are a lot of conflicts inside a couple about communication because, for women, talking something out over and over again eventually dissipates the stuck energy around it.
They hate being told to get over it, that you don't have time to listen. If rambling conversation drives you crazy or you don’t have a lot of time let her know what time you do have and give her the attention. You should listen to her without trying to find a point or solution.
Women express their thinking and feeling process out loud. Hearing themselves talk helps women get clear on what is going on inside of them. The process of expressing their thoughts out loud actually allows them to figure out what they’re thinking and feeling. So you should be a good listener and show that you are interested in what she thinks and feel. They don't like the men which enjoy having a specific purpose for the conversation.
Women communicate with details. They love details; that’s why a woman’s interest in the details about your life is not an attempt to interrogate you or invade your privacy and their habit of sharing the details of their life is not an attempt to take up too much of your time. Rather, they are trying to connect. If you want to surprise her try to make some remarks using some details for example the way she is dressed, the color of her eyes...
Women minimize how upset they are. In order to keep the peace, women often don’t express how upset they really are. They don’t stand up for themselves, and they downplay the severity of their dissatisfaction.
When they said that are alright but still look upset, they are still upset. If you take the time to try to get a woman to say what she really feels, that attempt alone will actually make her feel better because she knows you cared enough to try.
They don't like the men which, in order to avoid a confrontation take her answer literally and leave it when she says that is fine but still look upset. They love to insist and find out what she really think and try to make her feel better.
Show her that you care and it is important to you her happiness.
In general, they like to have a lot of friends (I mean girlfriends) with whom to share all their thoughts, dreams and secrets which a man would never understand. Most of them don't feel secure to have an open talk with their partner and to be completely honest like she is with her friends.
So women are well aware that most of the time they are a profound mystery to men.

Women gambling 101
There is a fundamental difference in the outlook of men and women about gambling. Surprised!! Well it is true. Gambling is an activity a woman can enjoy the most once she is financially and personally independent and this comes as news to both the sexes i.e. both men and women are amazed by this fact. The difference in opinion results from the difference in perception about gambling of men and that of the women. When a woman describes about gambling the focus is very subjective i.e. the atmosphere of the casino or rather the whole environment prevalent there, their feelings and emotions about it and other things associated with it whereas if a man describes the same then the approach is very narrow or to be more precise the focus revolves around the money won or lost which ironically in the case of women is one of the last factor considered.
Talking about the preference of the women in gambling, the slot machines are the most commonly enjoyed. There are theories suggesting that gambling for women acts as a means for an escape and also that they prefer games with less action and creativity. Though even other games like cards are popular, the slot machines still are the majority view. The women do not only go to the casinos to pass some good time rather they spend time like they are on a vacation and enjoys every bit of their stay there.
To answer a question of the nature that what is the main reason of women for gambling, out of the various answers that pop up we can take three most general ones. Firstly it provides as very good means of escape. This is to say that women can gamble care-free and not bother about who is watching them or what opinion one holds about them as gambling is interaction free. Secondly, as we have been observing, it provides as great source of entertainment. And lastly, some of the women might gamble to become wealthy or rather we can say to improve their financial conditions. Observing the three conditions we can concur on the point that women have good enough and quite logical reasons to gamble.
Apart from going to casinos and gambling there in real life, online means of gambling is also luring the females and is becoming popular these days. There can be two factors associated with online gambling by women. Primarily, being able to gamble without even leaving the house and secondly, it offers them a greater sense of privacy. One problem that might be associated withy online gambling is that it oftenly becomes a mod of escaping problems in one’s life thereby, becoming an addiction.
Talking about addiction, the major cause, which leads to such, is the accessibility and availability of the gambling outlets and that too is ever escalating. The temptation has further increased to try and gamble, owing to the recent increase in the number of gambling centres as they are now easily legalised.

Four surefire steps to real life mastery of dating, sex, relationships, women and everything related
Step One. Accept that you are the only one responsible for your success or failure with women. Nobody else but you.
If it's to be, it's up to me. This also applies for men, not only for women. You do have to realise the HUGE POWER you have right now.
When you understand that there is nobody else to hand you the mastery with women on a silver plate, that there is no external magic key that will make it happen, you will not be afraid that it's all up to you.
Instead you will just put this power into strategies, actions and practice.
After a while, you will see other men blaming their failures on anybody else but them (our girlfriends, spouses and wives often call it "denying responsibility"). But you will already be in a place of success and achievement, and looking at these men will make you want to achieve even more, because you will actually realise you do have UNLIMITED POWER at your disposal. And all is to be found within yourself.
You are both the problem and the solution, and only you can hold the keys to your personal power.
Step Two. Realise that life is much more than Dating, Women, Sex, Love Relationships. They enhance it a lot, but are not its essence.
That is why you will ask yourself how would it feel to be a great individual without needing anyone else in your love life. How would it be to be alone and still feel fantastic about it?
You see, if you use all your energy for mastery with women, you might achieve it after some years. But you will discover that this does not give complete meaning to your life; when you will have no money, women will not replace the respect that other men don't have for you as a poor broke guy that somehow gets laid often.
If you forget to make your dreams in life more than about women, then having mastery with women will not help you at all.
You will quickly become unhappy with other areas from your life, and as a result you will also repell women eventually.
Step Three. Be persistent when learning to actually get better with women.
Nothing is natural from the very beginning. Neither walking, nor driving. But you learned those from a blend of failures, ambition and achievement. Actually, ALL that you learn in real life requires the following:
1. Courage to act
2. Failure
3. Dealing the right way with failure
4. More courage to act (persistence)
5. Success
This is actually a cycle - the learning cycle of any succesful human being. All our lifes, in various contexts, we choose to apply it completely or to stop at number 3 and remain stuck forever.
Good news are that learning to get better with women is much simpler than learning Chinese. It is all about applying these learning cycle to each and every basic step of any interaction with women.
It is all about action, experience, persistence and success at getting their contact details, getting that great first date and developing the interaction further on.
Step Four. Remember to enjoy yourself ALL the way towards mastery with women.
It's still a great part of your life, of your time and your energy so why not K.I.S.S. with fun. Why not Keep It Short, Simple and with Fun.
I remember, for example, when I wanted to really master that first date basic step of my mastery with women. I wanted to sweep them off their feet right from the very beginning, so I learned to be great at telling very beautiful, emotional and intriguing stories.
It was fast, easy and a real pleasure to master this. I was anyway bound to communicate with people as a human being, so I just figured out what kind of communication and the topics involved that will actually make ladies' hearts and bodies melt with attraction and desire.
It is always lots of fun to learn new things that open up new directions and successes for each of us regarding women and our lifes in general.
Beginning the journey towards women mastery with these critical but simple three steps will provide each of us with the fuel to finish it fast and easy.

This is actually a cycle - the learning cycle of any succesful human being. All our lifes, in various contexts, we choose to apply it completely or to stop at number 3 and remain stuck forever.
Good news are that learning to get better with women is much simpler than learning Chinese. It is all about applying these learning cycle to each and every basic step of any interaction with women.
It is all about action, experience, persistence and success at getting their contact details, getting that great first date and developing the interaction further on.
Step Four. Remember to enjoy yourself ALL the way towards mastery with women.
It's still a great part of your life, of your time and your energy so why not K.I.S.S. with fun. Why not Keep It Short, Simple and with Fun.
I remember, for example, when I wanted to really master that first date basic step of my mastery with women. I wanted to sweep them off their feet right from the very beginning, so I learned to be great at telling very beautiful, emotional and intriguing stories.
It was fast, easy and a real pleasure to master this. I was anyway bound to communicate with people as a human being, so I just figured out what kind of communication and the topics involved that will actually make ladies' hearts and bodies melt with attraction and desire.
It is always lots of fun to learn new things that open up new directions and successes for each of us regarding women and our lifes in general.
Beginning the journey towards women mastery with these critical but simple three steps will provide each of us with the fuel to finish it fast and easy.

If it's to be, it's up to me. This also applies for men, not only for women. You do have to realise the HUGE POWER you have right now.
When you understand that there is nobody else to hand you the mastery with women on a silver plate, that there is no external magic key that will make it happen, you will not be afraid that it's all up to you.
Instead you will just put this power into strategies, actions and practice.
After a while, you will see other men blaming their failures on anybody else but them (our girlfriends, spouses and wives often call it "denying responsibility"). But you will already be in a place of success and achievement, and looking at these men will make you want to achieve even more, because you will actually realise you do have UNLIMITED POWER at your disposal. And all is to be found within yourself.
You are both the problem and the solution, and only you can hold the keys to your personal power.
Step Two. Realise that life is much more than Dating, Women, Sex, Love Relationships. They enhance it a lot, but are not its essence.
That is why you will ask yourself how would it feel to be a great individual without needing anyone else in your love life. How would it be to be alone and still feel fantastic about it?
You see, if you use all your energy for mastery with women, you might achieve it after some years. But you will discover that this does not give complete meaning to your life; when you will have no money, women will not replace the respect that other men don't have for you as a poor broke guy that somehow gets laid often.
If you forget to make your dreams in life more than about women, then having mastery with women will not help you at all.
You will quickly become unhappy with other areas from your life, and as a result you will also repell women eventually.
Step Three. Be persistent when learning to actually get better with women.
Nothing is natural from the very beginning. Neither walking, nor driving. But you learned those from a blend of failures, ambition and achievement. Actually, ALL that you learn in real life requires the following:
1. Courage to act
2. Failure
3. Dealing the right way with failure
4. More courage to act (persistence)

Why Do Women Date Rich Men
Very often it is found that women loves to date with financially strong men. Just as a dog gets atttracted towards bones, men gets attracted towards beautiful women similarly women are attracted to males who have the most resources and the ability to manipulate and
distribute those resources. Question like why? may arise. Women nowadays are becoming very choosy in selecting their partner while dating and has stopped
believing in 'love at first ight'. They do a lot of study before dating and gives the priority to those who are well off with their resources. You might start questioning yourself Are women really that stunningly superficial? Yes, because in this fast everchanging world money is everything. Even you, yourself will not be able to date peacefully if your wallet is light or if you have a hole in your pocket. By now, you will probably be serious about dating that needs a massive amount of cash in the bank.
Though the word resources has different meanings in different
cultures, but money is the number one resource particularly in the western world, in other countries it may differ. In a psychological study in the 90's participants were asked to rate the most important attributes that one would want to have in a potential sexual partnerand surprisingly it was found that among the top ten attributes 'ABILITY' to earn was
holding the first position. The word 'Wealth' did not even get
the position in top ten. Daters who do not have massive resources may count themselves among the luckiest if they can atleast prove that they have the ability to generate wealth in future. Women dating online seek for those partners who are well off financially and also who possess the ability to generate wealth.
Remember that, if you pretend to have money or that you do posess the ability to earn more while dating would lead to some tricky situations. You have to emonstrate your ability when dating. How much easier is it to demonstrate the ability to earn? It all depends on your behaviour and onversation when dating. To demonstrate your ability to earn when dating does not require displaying your wealth
right on the spot but expressing the qualities of being ambitious that will enable you to acquire and generate wealth in the future.
Ability to earn is a very highly desirable quality beside other qualities like confidence, enerosity, intelligence, and enthusiasm that women seek in men when dating. Therefore men who possess these qualities are lligible for smooth dating.

Goal Setting - Tips for Women
Tips in Goal Setting for Women
Careers in recent years has become very important to women. When before, women are expected to tend to the house while their husbands earn a living; now, women are slowly but surely climbing the corporate ladder and are even filling top executives position.
This is because the business community is starting to acknowledge the contribution that women make when it comes to business. They provide creativity and innovation to the company. Women are also more adept in marketing and in advertising compared to their males counterparts.
Although many are already becoming legends in the business community, their climb to the top is anything but easy. In fact, they have to work twice more than the males, perform twice better to show that they are really capable. This is because the stereotype is still there despite the recent achievements that women have made in different fields of endeavors.
A successful business career, especially for women, does not come easy. In addition to the mind set and the single-mindedness that is often attributed to men, they also have to take care of their emotional and family lives. Balancing these two sectors in their lives is sometimes the hardest part in having a career. They must do their job well and at the same time make sure that they are not neglecting their familial duties.
To help women who have conflict between their career and their family duties, here are some ways to properly goal set.
Prioritize
One should always come first. Problems arise when women try to do both and wind up shortchanging both. One should be able to define what is more important to them. For women who are single, prioritizing is still something that they can be flexible with. This is because they live a single life and do not have a family, to whom they are committed to. Things change when they get married and have children. At this point, prioritizing is already a moot point. Husband and children should be the first priority.
Think hypothetically
There will be times when your career and your family schedules will clash. A work emergency crops up just when you are about to go on a vacation with your family; a crisis occurs that needs your immediate attention at the same time that you have to attend your eldest’ recital; you have to work overtime just when it’s time to fetch your youngest child at school; these things happens and they can’t be avoided. If you want to be prepared, think hypothetically and already think about what you will do in these kinds of situations.
Set limits
Goal setting is not only something that you do when you want to get ahead but also when you want to stop and limit yourself. Set limits to your goals. If for instance a promotion will cut your time with your family in half, then limit your goals to your job and not seek for promotion anymore. This may mean not getting ahead of your career but hey your family is more important.
Make negotiating your goal
There are some people who get away with spending less time at their job and still occupy a high position in the corporation. When you are good at your job, you can actually become a consultant, which are paid really high but are not required to come to work all that often. To do this, you have to set your goal towards being indispensable to the company and to learning as much as you can from your industry while you are still young and single.

Cleaning jewelry
Don't leave your beloved jewelry sitting in a drawer just because it's too dirty or because you forgot to take it off before going in the hot tub or pool. Sterling silver may turn all black or gold color when it's in contact with the chemicals presents in the water contained in such facilities. Products like bleach & nail polish remover will also have a terrible effect on your sterling silver jewelry. But it's not over for those pieces since you can clean that off pretty easily.
Many cleaning techniques & products are available on the market today so don't rush to your nearest jewelry store. They will clean your jewelry efficiently & it may be the right solution if you don't mind paying or really don't want to deal with it.
Many cleaning solutions are sold in regular store, you just put the jewelry in the little container filled with a special cleaning solution, close it up & shake it a bit. It will work pretty well & wont be ruining the material or stones but it may also remove the antique look you used to have. Many jewelers add a darkening solution onto the jewelry which gives it an antique look by turning the incursions black & it shows all the details of the piece a lot better.
Cleaning cloths are a good alternative, just rub the jewelry & it will turn nice & clean again. It may take more time but it does give great results. Only problem is you may not be able to rub in certain areas depending on how the piece. If your jewelry is just a little dirty this technique is the best, it will refresh the clean look of it and you will be surprised at how well it works. Many different type of cleaning cloths are available, the biggest seller on the market is the Sunshine ® Polishing Cloth. Such cloths are impregnated with special chemical cleansing compounds that do wonders.
I have been asked about using the new ultrasonic cleaners available at many stores, so I have purchased one myself to try. First, I must say do not ever put any jewelry with gemstones or precious stones in such an apparel. It will ruin it. Also many of those apparel have an automatic shut down timer. Personally, it did not work on the pieces I tried it on. It did have a small effect, but I had to keep on reactivating it to the point where it became a nonsense. So I would not recommend wasting your money, it may be ok for cleaning other things but not jewelry.
The technique I prefer may not be suitable if you have just a few personal pieces of jewelry. Tumblers are such great jewelry cleaners it's unbeatable.
If you want to do it yourself, remember to remove Turquoise & Howlite gemstones and cameos before putting the jewelry in the tumblers. There are two types of tumblers; rotary & vibratory both need stainless steel shots in the barrel to work. Shots are available at specialized jewelry supply stores for about twenty dollar a pound. The rotary tumblers with a capacity of 3 pounds need about 1 pound of shots while the regular vibratory tumblers need about 3-4.
Both apparel work very well just add the stainless steel shots, a little water, a bit of regular dishwashing detergent & your jewelry in the barrel & start the machine. Regular cleanings with the rotary tumbler will take about 24 hours while the vibratory will take only a couple of hours. Another inconvenient of the rotary tumbler is that you will have to load & close the barrel each time while the vibratory is an open barrel so you can just throw & pick up your jewelry freely. Also, the vibratory tumbler can hold a larger volume of jewelry at once. Still, rotary tumblers are interesting because they are much cheaper & make a lot less noise.
You want to avoid cleaning your jewelry as much as possible? Good idea, you can do so by being careful avoiding direct contact with ammonia, bleach, nail polish remover, alcohol, and other harsh cleaning products. Best is to always remove all your jewelry before cleaning, going to pools or hot tubs, painting, moving heavy furniture, doing sports so that you don't brake it or get it dirty. Also, when you are not wearing your jewelry store it in a ziploc type of bag, the reason for that is that sterling silver oxidizes in contact with oxygen which turns it black over time.

A Proven Way That Women Can Quit Drinking Without AA
A Proven Way That Women Can Quit Drinking Without AA
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has helped millions of people recover from alcoholism. For many women, however, AA may not be the best choice when it comes to the difficult task of quitting drinking. The main reason it may not be the best choice is this:
AA is based on the philosophy that self-centeredness is the root of alcoholism. In other words, AA's approach is to instill humility and minimize egotism in its members.
While this method may have been appropriate for white males in the 1940's when AA was founded, it does not meet the very different needs of women. Here's why.
- Women who have a problem with alcohol oftentimes suffer from feelings of guilt and low self-esteem.
- Women already judge and berate themselves mercilessly.
- What women need to recover is to develop a sense of competency in themselves and rebuild their feelings of self-worth.
- Quitting drinking requires overcoming dependencies, forgetting the past and planning for the future.
SELF EMPOWERMENT, NOT HUMILITY, LEADS TO SOBRIETY
I agree that it is necessary for a woman to have humility in order to accept that she has a drinking problem. But taking humility beyond this first step is actually counter productive for the woman alcoholic.
Jean Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., founder of the Women for Sobriety Program (WFS), writes that "to accept humility is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to a woman alcoholic." From long experience Jean understood that for women to overcome feelings of helplessness and powerlessness they must have a program that helps them to rebuild their self-image.
DOES GIVING YOURSELF UP TO A HIGHER POWER WORK FOR YOU?
The main component of AA's program is spirituality. Specifically, they believe that in order to recover, one must surrender one's will to a higher power.
WFS, on the other hand, does not encourage reliance on a higher power or something outside yourself. Women for Sobriety believes that your power must come from within.
THE WOMEN FOR SOBRIETY PROGRAM WORKS
This new, empowering method for women to quit drinking produces concrete results. An interesting study was published in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse by L. A. Kaskutas in 1996.
What the study found was that after women became really aware that they had to do something about their drinking, the percentage of women who were sober within 1 year after attending Women for Sobriety meetings was 38%. In contrast, the percentage of women who were sober within 1 year after attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings was 26%.
WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF WFS?
One of the reasons why AA meetings are so prevalent is the fact that one aspect of their spiritual philosophy is a strong emphasis on service. Specifically, AA members are encouraged to attend meetings for life, and be part of a sponsorship program where experienced members assist beginners.
In contrast, because WFS encourages self-sufficiency, it does not promote lifelong attendance at meetings. Also, although WFS does not have a formal sponsorship program, it encourages an informal support structure among the women. A result of this WFS philosophy of leading women away from dependencies is that meetings are not as widely found with the Women for Sobriety Program as they are with AA.
The Women for Sobriety web site does, however, provide support in the form of on-line meetings, chat, and a bulletin board. They also have a large collection of popular books on recovery as well as their own literature for sale. This contrasts with AA meetings where only AA approved literature is allowed.
WFS MEETINGS ENCOURAGE CONVERSATION BETWEEN WOMEN
I like that WFS permits a wide range of meeting topics. And one of the best aspects of the WFS meeting format is that conversation is encouraged whereas AA has a strict "no cross-talk" rule during meetings.
Another difference between WFS and AA is that one-third of WFS members also attend AA meetings because they need more frequent meetings to stay sober and they like the fellowship and support. Women for Sobriety is open to this approach and, in fact, states that their Program "can be used with or without AA."
AA, however, tends to discourage attendance at alternative programs. This can be seen through some of the wording in the introductory portion of the meeting where it is stated, "rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path," and, later: "many of us thought we could find an easier, softer way. But we could not."
WOMEN'S REACTIONS AFTER ATTENDING THEIR FIRST WFS MEETING
Power comes from looking forward not back. It is very important for women to have a positive, proactive force supporting them when it comes to quitting drinking. This is different than the AA approach of focusing on negative memories of the past to prevent drinking in the future.
A classic example of this is I have had many women come to my Women for Sobriety group and tell me that after hearing a person's drinking story at an AA speaker meeting, they felt so badly when leaving the meeting that they just wanted to go out and drink. In contrast, many women share with me that they feel positive and hopeful for the future when they get out of our WFS meeting.

AA has been responsible for helping women get and remain sober for many years and I applaud their efforts. However, I spent 3 years in and out of AA at the beginning of my sobriety and I was never able to get my heart into the program.
During that 3 years I purchased and read all the WFS literature and finally engaged the help of a private therapist. When I finally got empowered enough to start a WFS meeting in my area, my ability to stay sober became permanent.
I DID IT, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
I have been sober for 8 years now. I attribute my continuous sobriety to several things that the WFS Program revealed to me:
- The importance of getting to know myself and the reasons why I drank
- How to develop a lasting positive self-image
- The power was within me to pursue my true interests
- That long-term sobriety is possible with the support of like-minded women in my WFS group

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has helped millions of people recover from alcoholism. For many women, however, AA may not be the best choice when it comes to the difficult task of quitting drinking. The main reason it may not be the best choice is this:
AA is based on the philosophy that self-centeredness is the root of alcoholism. In other words, AA's approach is to instill humility and minimize egotism in its members.
While this method may have been appropriate for white males in the 1940's when AA was founded, it does not meet the very different needs of women. Here's why.
- Women who have a problem with alcohol oftentimes suffer from feelings of guilt and low self-esteem.
- Women already judge and berate themselves mercilessly.
- What women need to recover is to develop a sense of competency in themselves and rebuild their feelings of self-worth.
- Quitting drinking requires overcoming dependencies, forgetting the past and planning for the future.
SELF EMPOWERMENT, NOT HUMILITY, LEADS TO SOBRIETY
I agree that it is necessary for a woman to have humility in order to accept that she has a drinking problem. But taking humility beyond this first step is actually counter productive for the woman alcoholic.
Jean Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., founder of the Women for Sobriety Program (WFS), writes that "to accept humility is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to a woman alcoholic." From long experience Jean understood that for women to overcome feelings of helplessness and powerlessness they must have a program that helps them to rebuild their self-image.
DOES GIVING YOURSELF UP TO A HIGHER POWER WORK FOR YOU?
The main component of AA's program is spirituality. Specifically, they believe that in order to recover, one must surrender one's will to a higher power.
WFS, on the other hand, does not encourage reliance on a higher power or something outside yourself. Women for Sobriety believes that your power must come from within.

Hair Removal Methods, Remove Facial Hair
Top Hair Removal Methods For Women - Discover The Various Ways To Remove Facial Hair Effectively.
There are many hair removal methods for women to choose from. Some hair removal methods have been around for thousands of years, some are new to the market, some hurt, and some don’t.
Hair removal is tricky, and no hair removal methods or products are perfect for every job, but there are tricks that will remove facial hair in easier and more affordable ways.
Hair Removal Method 1 – Tweezing
Some women choose to tweeze unwanted hairs, but this is not one of the ideal hair removal methods because repeated plucking can cause irritation of the hair follicle. For darker-skinned women, this hair removal method may result in scarring. Also, hair will grow back thicker and stiffer once it's plucked. Hence the aim of removing facial hair for a longer period of time does not work. Unless you have just a few stray hairs that occasionally pop up, avoid tweezing unwanted hair.
Hair Removal Method 2 – Depilatory creams
These cream dissolve hair at the base of the follicle. This hair removal method is ideal for widespread areas like the legs, but can be problematic when used on the face because they irritate the skin and often remove facial hair cleanly. Depilatory creams are relatively inexpensive but results from this hair removal method will last for one to two weeks before you'll need to look at it again.
Hair Removal Method 3 – Waxing
This is one of the most popular hair removal methods. Generally, it's an effective method to remove facial hair on the upper lip and fine hair on the sides of the face. But it's not recommended for the chin area where hair tends to be coarser. Waxing may also be problematic for darker-skinned women. They sometimes experience discoloration due to irritation and inflammation in their attempt to remove facial hair. Depending on the type of hair you have, waxing results should last from two to six weeks.
Hair Removal Method 4 – Laser
Laser hair removal must be done by a licensed professional. It can be expensive and time-consuming, but the results may not be permanent. It is best to discuss with a professional. You can find one by looking in the yellow pages.
Hair Removal Method 5 - Threading
Threading is the ideal facial hair removal alternative to waxing, depilatory creams, tweezing or laser, especially if you have sensitive skin. Unlike other hair removal methods, irritation and skin rashes cab be avoided as the top layer of your skin is not stripped off in the process. Since threading is a completely natural skin removal process, it works on all skin types for a hairless face - whether you have normal skin, sensitive skin, tanned or damaged skin.

Shoe Essentials for Ladies & Gentlemen
Both men and women need more than one pair of shoes that works for everything. Ladies and gentlemen need a variety of shoes that are appropriate for various occasions, including work, working out, evenings out, and for casual days. While men probably will not need quite as many shoes as women, both sexes need to be sure that they have the appropriate shoes for every occasion.
Working Out
Whether you enjoy working out on a regular basis, or you occasionally get out to get the metabolism pumping, every person, both men and women need to have the appropriate shoes for working out. Sneakers are great shoes for working out, no matter what activity you are involved in, and you should purchase sneakers that are made for the specific activity that you enjoy the most. If you play basketball most of the time, you may want to get a sneaker specifically designed for playing basketball, or running shoes if you frequently run. For those who make walking part of their daily workout routine, a great pair of walking sneakers can help you make sure that you are walking in both style and comfort.
Work Shoes
Work shoes that you choose will be highly dependent on what kind of job that you do. For men, many times, they work in highly physical jobs that may include heavy work and intense working conditions. For men that work in outdoor jobs like construction, or other jobs that include hard manual labor, you may want to consider purchasing sturdy work boots. If you are purchasing work boots, make sure that they will be comfortable on your feet since you have to wear them all day, and steel toes may be a great option if you are in danger of having something dropped on your feet.
For women, work shoes can be quite a bit different. Some women do work in places that require them to be on their feet a great deal, so, in this case, comfort may be the key. Finding low heeled shoes that look great, but that have great comfort as well is a great idea for women on their feet at work all day. Women that work in a businesslike atmosphere may want to invest in some moderate pumps that go with their business attire and are comfortable as well.
Going Casual
For casual days that do not involve work and have you spending time out as a family or doing some simple shopping, you may want to have a great pair of casual shoes on hand. For men, they can often choose shoes that look classy, or something that has a simple rugged appeal to go with casual clothing. Just make sure that you go for comfort because you may be doing quite a bit of walking in these shoes.
Women have a variety of choices in casual shoes. The most important part about casual shoes for women is that they are comfortable. You want to purchase casual shoes that let you shop until you drop in comfort. If it is warm, a comfortable sandal may be a great choice, and if it is colder, a great leather loafer style shoe may be what you want for those casual days out.
Getting Dressed Up
Both men and women need to have shoes for those occasions for getting all dressed up. Whether you are going to a funeral, a wedding, or just having a classy night out on the town, the right shoes are very important. Men can get away with having just one or two styles of dress shoes. Most men will want to have a pair of both brown and black dress shoes and you will want to choose the style that feels the best on your foot. Usually, dress shoes for men come in both slip-ons and lace ups, so choose the shoe that you are most comfortable with.
The shoes that women choose for dressy occasions can be a bit more difficult to choose. For dressy occasions that are low key, you might want to stick to a pair of pumps that look elegant and classy. If you need to look really dressy, it may be time to bring out high-heeled dress shoes, such as sling backs, or even high-heeled sandals. The type of dress shoe, of course, will depend on the occasion, the time of year, and the style and color of the clothing you are wearing. Usually, having dress shoes in white, navy, brown, and black are absolutely essential to a woman’s wardrobe

Women, Listen Up
Ladies, you have more power than hell over the destiny of a man. The devil knew God was going to make woman. He said, I believe that God is going to make a woman, and if I can fool her, she’s got enough power to take him in. I can’t do it, so I’ve gotta go to something more powerful than hell; and if she uses it wrong, she’ll curse a man, and if she uses it right, she’ll take him up.
There is great power in your walk and grace that God has given you, ladies. You are to be a helper—one called to go alongside man and do something that nobody else can do. A man is to bring a woman to her full potential. And you are to do everything possible for your spouse to make him complete in what God said. I’m not telling you not to have a life. I just want you to know what God gave you.
If anybody needs help now, men need help. If we ever needed you before—not to be in competition with, or to fight with—we need you now. We’re going to prison, committing suicide…can you help a brother with that power you have? With the beauty and the knowledge that you have? Can you understand that part of me is missing? I’m a little crazy and I need somebody that’s got more power than hell.
We’re going back to the basics. In order for us to talk about nations and kingdoms, there has to come a peace within each of us. God is saying, I’m serious about men and women lining up with my word. If you line up, healing, deliverance and favor will automatically come—all of those things God has ordained will happen when order hits.

Can Hypnosis Help with Pregnancy and Childbirth?
Many of you might be familiar with how hypnosis can help with weight loss and smoking cessation. But, did you know that hypnosis can also be used during pregnancy to help relieve anxiety and aid in calm, natural birth?
Hypnosis has been used for quite some time to help in numerous health-related issues, from relieving IBS symptoms to preparing for surgery to alleviating fear of dental procedures. Many pregnant women are now enjoying the benefits of hypnosis, allowing them to experience natural births with minimal pain.
In order to better understand how hypnosis can help pregnant women, it helps to gain a better understanding of hypnosis itself. To put it in simple terms, hypnosis is intense focus and concentration. Many people have likened the concentration with getting lost in a good book or television program. Utilizing that intense focus, hypnosis can actually slow down your brain waves.
Right now you’re probably in your waking state, which is Beta consciousness. But, by altering your conscious state through hypnosis, you are able to enter Alpha consciousness, where your brain waves actually slow down. And, when you slow down your brain waves you lose the “critical chatter” of the conscious mind and are able to slip in positive suggestions to the subconscious mind. These positive suggestions can be about any behavior you’d like to change, or any outcome you’d like to see take effect, such as having a natural, easy birth.
In addition, when you’re in a relaxed stated and imagining a desired outcome, the brain can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy, and reacts as if the desired outcome was a reality. This phenomenon can be seen in pain management, when hypnotherapists use hypnosis and imagery on pain sufferers to help them lessen the intensity of their pain.
Hypnosis can aid pregnant women in so many different ways and in so many different stages of their pregnancies.
Hypnosis Can Aid in Fertility
Where inability to become pregnant is not due to a medical condition, many women have found relief with hypnosis. There are many who believe that if you can imagine it you can create it, and hypnosis is often paired with imagery to “visualize” oneself becoming pregnant and imagining a baby coming into one’s life. Hypnosis is also used to alleviate stress, which may be inhibiting a woman from becoming pregnant. Of course, women aren’t the only ones whose stress and anxiety may be inhibiting pregnancy. Many men feel the pressure to help their partners conceive. This stress can affect men’s sperm quality.
Hypnosis Can Aid in Helping a Woman Become More Comfortable
Many women experience discomfort from being pregnant, such as morning sickness, the intensity of which can be lessened through hypnosis. In women with high blood pressure, hypnosis can be helpful in helping them to relax, which in turn can help control the symptoms.
Hypnosis Can Help in the Actual Birth Process
Many women are now using hypnosis to help them have their baby naturally with no drugs. Utilizing hypnosis, women can help themselves relax during the baby’s birth. Since pain responses are greatly enhanced with fear and anxiety, creating a sense of calm helps in reducing the sensation of pain. The women will be awake and aware of everything that’s happening, including the contractions, but will be able to dictate to a great extent the intensity of the sensations she feels.
There are numerous hypnosis tapes and CDs available which can help reduce the fears and anxieties associated with pregnancy and the birthing process. If at all possible, it’s preferable to meet face to face with a hypnotherapist who can tailor the hypnosis to your specific fears, anxieties or needs.
How to Find a Hypnotherapist
The first place to look is your own doctor. (It’s always good to have your doctor’s input before beginning any treatment programs). Ask him or her for a recommendation to a good hypnotherapist. If your doctor does not have a recommendation you can utilize internet hypnotist referral networks to find one in your area. One good referral website is www.registeredhypnotist.com, where you can look up hypnotherapists in your area.
Another good internet resource is www.hypnobirthing.com, which lists practitioners across the country who’ve gone through the HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method, a program specifically tailored to natural birthing.
Whether you plan on a natural birth or not, hypnosis can still help you relax more about the entire birthing process. Becoming more relaxed can help you gain control over your pregnancy, rather than have your pregnancy gain control over you.

These positive suggestions can be about any behavior you’d like to change, or any outcome you’d like to see take effect, such as having a natural, easy birth.
In addition, when you’re in a relaxed stated and imagining a desired outcome, the brain can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy, and reacts as if the desired outcome was a reality. This phenomenon can be seen in pain management, when hypnotherapists use hypnosis and imagery on pain sufferers to help them lessen the intensity of their pain.
Hypnosis can aid pregnant women in so many different ways and in so many different stages of their pregnancies.
Hypnosis Can Aid in Fertility
Where inability to become pregnant is not due to a medical condition, many women have found relief with hypnosis. There are many who believe that if you can imagine it you can create it, and hypnosis is often paired with imagery to “visualize” oneself becoming pregnant and imagining a baby coming into one’s life. Hypnosis is also used to alleviate stress, which may be inhibiting a woman from becoming pregnant. Of course, women aren’t the only ones whose stress and anxiety may be inhibiting pregnancy. Many men feel the pressure to help their partners conceive. This stress can affect men’s sperm quality.
Hypnosis Can Aid in Helping a Woman Become More Comfortable
Many women experience discomfort from being pregnant, such as morning sickness, the intensity of which can be lessened through hypnosis. In women with high blood pressure, hypnosis can be helpful in helping them to relax, which in turn can help control the symptoms.
Hypnosis Can Help in the Actual Birth Process
Many women are now using hypnosis to help them have their baby naturally with no drugs. Utilizing hypnosis, women can help themselves relax during the baby’s birth. Since pain responses are greatly enhanced with fear and anxiety, creating a sense of calm helps in reducing the sensation of pain. The women will be awake and aware of everything that’s happening, including the contractions, but will be able to dictate to a great extent the intensity of the sensations she feels.
There are numerous hypnosis tapes and CDs available which can help reduce the fears and anxieties associated with pregnancy and the birthing process. If at all possible, it’s preferable to meet face to face with a hypnotherapist who can tailor the hypnosis to your specific fears, anxieties or needs.
How to Find a Hypnotherapist
The first place to look is your own doctor. (It’s always good to have your doctor’s input before beginning any treatment programs). Ask him or her for a recommendation to a good hypnotherapist. If your doctor does not have a recommendation you can utilize internet hypnotist referral networks to find one in your area. One good referral website is www.registeredhypnotist.com, where you can look up hypnotherapists in your area.
Another good internet resource is www.hypnobirthing.com, which lists practitioners across the country who’ve gone through the HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method, a program specifically tailored to natural birthing.
Whether you plan on a natural birth or not, hypnosis can still help you relax more about the entire birthing process. Becoming more relaxed can help you gain control over your pregnancy, rather than have your pregnancy gain control over you.

Conquering obesity - NOW!
Overview of Obesity
from Fritz Frei
Obesity is a disease that affects approximately 60 Million people in the United Stats and hundred of Millions allover the world.
Women are specially affected. Over one-third of women between the ages of 20 and 74 are obese,that the majority of them being African American or Mexican American.
With more and more pre packaged food and lessand less activity, the number of obese people in America has steadily increased since the 1960's.
Many people think obesity means that a person is overweight, but that's not exactly true. An Overweight person has a surplus amount of Weight, that includes muscle, bone, fat, and Water.
An obese person has a surplus of “body fat”.
Most health professionals concur that a man is Obese if he has over 25 percent body fat, and a women is obese if she has over 30 percent.
Women physiologically have more body fat than men, so that why there's a difference in the percentage. It is difficult to determine the exact percentage of body fat a person has, but estimatescan be made in a number of different ways.
First, using a tweezers-like-tool called a calliper, You can measure the thickness of skin folds On different points of your body and compare The results with standardized numbers.
You can also use a small device that send a
harmless electrical current through your body and measures your body fat percentage.
The most commonly used method to determine ifA person is obese is to look at his/her Body Mass Index (BMI).
A person with a BMI over 30 is considered to be Obese, and a BMI over 40 is considered to be severely obese.
It's important to remember thought that BMI could Be misleading in pregnant or lactating women and in muscular individuals.
With obesity, comes the increased risk of diseases Such as high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes, Heart disease, and breast, colon and prostate cancer.
In addition, obesity has been linked to mental health Conditions such as depression or feeling of shame And low self-esteem.
Health experts say's that even losing 10 to 15 percent Of your body weight can dramatically decrease the Risk of developing these serious conditions. In addition, Many obese people are discriminated against and targets of insults and other verbal abuse.
A number of factors, such as poor diet, lack of Physical activity, genetics, and certain medical disorders Cause obesity, but it can be conquered.

Skin - Stretch Marks Avoidance
Stretch marks are not for women only. They affect many teenagers and body builders. What are stretch marks? The fine lines that change in color over a time and appear on different parts of body generally after pregnancy or after sudden weight increase are Stretch marks.
Skin care and stretch marks formation-
Stretch marks don't form only because the skin stretches during certain periods. Let us look at this carefully. Most of the women believe that they get stretch marks because of their body expanding during pregnancy. This is true, but please note that the marks that you see in your skin get formed when the skin does not stretch and therefore tears. This not stretching of skin is believed to be because of certain hormones. These hormones don't allow the dermis to make more collagen and elastin. If the skin had made enough collagen and elastin to support the stretching, no marks would have appeared. This hormone called glucocorticoids is responsible for formation of stretch marks.
Skin Care and stretch mark avoidance-
Stretch marks form during pregnancy in women, in teenagers when they gain weight very fast, in body builders and in some conditions such as Cushing's syndrome. Use of steroid creams over along period may also form stretch marks.
Skin care and stretch marks treatment-
There is no proven treatment available for stretch marks. Rather than trying any product that claims to treat stretch marks, please consult your doctor. Chemical peeling and laser is being tried to remove them. Vitamin C creams and retionoids are said to help. Your doctor is the best judge. Please consult him/her and find the remedy if possible. Even otherwise don't get disheartened. They fade away over time.

Picking Up Women At The Local Laundromat
Ok, you’ve probably heard that Laundromats are great pick up places, better than a singles bar – that’s because they are! Maybe not better, but certainly a great alternative that’s just as good. You can pretend your entire motive is to wash clothes, and that you’re not on the make. The woman won’t have that feeling like you’re just trying to pick her up if you strike up a chat here – even if that’s exactly what you’re doing!
What really helps you out here is that women like to talk, and they love to give advice – especially to “helpless” men! First of all, pick a good Laundromat – meaning one where you’ve seen lots of attractive women who aren’t dragging a bunch of kids with them or wearing wedding rings. Basically, pick one in a neighborhood with lots of young, single women – they’ll be using the Laundromat close to home. And don’t worry if you already have a washing machine at home, it’s worth the trip out and a little change to meet women! If you meet someone that eventually makes it back to your place and discovers you have a machine at home, just tell her it was broken, or better yet, be honest and say you went to the Laundromat hoping to meet someone, and that was the best decision you ever made because you met her.
But let’s back up, first you’ve got to meet her! So go to the Laundromat with your basket of clothes – no detergent. Make sure you don’t bring anything a woman might find disgusting – like really dingy, holey underwear, badly stained
T-shirts, or socks that used to be white but now look like you walked through mud in them. However, something slightly stained won’t hurt – like a grass stain on your jeans or chocolate sauce on a shirt. You can use this later to help with the conversation
Go in, plop your laundry basket down on a machine near one or more ladies you wouldn’t mind picking up, and start digging through the basket like you’re looking for something. Then say out loud to yourself, “Oh, man, I forgot the detergent!” Laundromats usually have a vending machine selling detergent, so go over and start browsing. Act like you don’t know which one to pick, then go to the woman you want to chat up and say, “Excuse me, they don’t have my regular detergent here and I don’t know what to use. Can you help me pick one out?” Women can’t resist an opportunity to give advice, and they love the idea that men might be helpless when it comes to some chores, like laundry. This is where, if you’ve got the grass stain or whatever, you can bring that up and say you don’t know what to do to get it out. She may come over and show you how to rub detergent on the stain, etc. After you get the detergent, go back to your machine, fumble around, and go back to her and say, “I’m sorry to keep bothering you, but these machines are different than what I’m used to and I don’t know what setting to use. Could you give me a hand? I’m sorry to seem so helpless.” Milk the helpless bit for all it’s worth. Ask her how much detergent to use, what colors you can wash together, and what temperature to set the water at – whatever you can think of.
Also, if the Laundromat doesn’t have a vending machine for detergent, ask the woman if you can borrow some of hers. Insist on paying her back by paying for her washing or dryer use. Either way, once you’ve got her talking, keep chatting about clothes as long as that stays interesting – once it starts to get lame and boring, ditch the topic! Make sure and introduce yourself and get her name, then start asking her about herself. Find out where she works, what she does for fun, what movies or bands she likes, what her favorite types of food are. You can use that info as she’s packing up her clothes to leave – Say, “Thanks so much for the help. I’d love to pay you back by taking you out for some Italian food (or going to hear that band you like, or see that movie you said you’d been dying to see.)”
And one last thing, be ready with an explanation of why you’re using this particular Laundromat if it’s not in your neighborhood, just in case she asks. Make sure you pick one that’s not too far from home, and just say the one in your neighborhood was full and you didn’t want to wait for a machine. Now grab some change, a pile of dirty clothes, and get ready to bag that babe!

An Example with Qualitative and Quantitative Research
In a previous article “Market Research: Qualitative, Quantitative and Everything In-Between” we explained the differences between quantitative and qualitative market research studies. We also promised to provide an example of a two-phased research approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, in order to highlight the differences of the two types of research. Here’s our example:
QuickStop Convenience Stores
Once upon a time there was a successful line of convenience stores. We’ll call this group of stores “QuickStop”. At some point a staff-member realized that QuickStop seemed to be patronized by many more men than women. This was passed along to the management team and they asked the store tellers to informally keep track of the proportions of men to women who came into their stores. It turned out that the theory seemed to hold true, and in fact far more men patronized QuickStop than did women. This information was passed along to the other managers at other QuickStop stores and they found the same trend. This received some higher level management attention and they began to wonder why this was occurring. Eventually management made the decision that this was too large a group of potential customers to lose, and a decision was eventually made to study this phenomenon and to understand why it was taking place, and if anything could be done about it.
Research Objective
A research project was designed to understand how women felt about shopping at QuickStop stores and why. It was decided that this research should be qualitative and the specific methodology would be In-depth-Interviews (this is research with one professional interviewer and one respondent at a time – in this case the decision was made because there were suspicions that there could be sensitive issues that wouldn’t be discussed as candidly in a group setting).
Qualitative Research
About two dozen current or potential female customers were paid to come into a research facility to discuss the use of convenience stores in general, and later in the interviews the discussion was directed specifically to QuickStop convenience stores, in particular. The results were very surprising to the management team. The major qualitative findings included the following:
• Women viewed convenience stores to be primarily designed for men, with little or no consideration for women,
• The bathrooms at convenience stores were believed to be the dirtiest that could be found in a city - “gross” was the most common description – and that perception permeated everything that women felt about convenience stores in general
• QuickStop was seen as one of the worst of convenience stores “kind of the place for a man to buy gas, get a six-pack of cheap beer and cigarettes, but not the kind of place I want to go”.
Quantitative Research
Once the management team had an understanding of what issues they faced with female customers, they felt that they needed to understand how broadly these beliefs were held. Now they needed to get some hard numbers, and that meant that they needed to conduct quantitative market research. The research objective for this phase of research were:
• Understand how female customers of QuickStop differ from those that don’t regularly visit these stores.
• Understand whether or not a renovation of QuickStop could entice each group to visit more frequently (or at all depending on whether the respondent currently avoided QuickStop entirely).
For the quantitative phase of research they decided to conduct 250 telephone interviews with a combination of female respondents. The requirements to participate in this phase of research were that: half of the respondents stated that they had used QuickStop at least five times in the last year, and the other half admitted to intentionally avoiding QuickStop altogether, although they did use other brands of convenience stores. The major results from the quantitative phase indicated that:
• Over 76% of all female QuickStop customers were women under 30 years old, without children, while women with children and with higher incomes were 5 times less likely to shop at QuickStop
• The good news was that of the women who didn’t currently use QuickStop, 64% said that if these stores were to update their color schemes, clean up their bathrooms and update their health and feminine products that they would be willing to try QuickStop again.
The two phases of research gave the QuickStop management team a very good understanding of where they currently stood with female customers and why. Their quantitative research also indicated that those women who were not currently using their stores would “forgive” them if they changed their ways. Their decision now was to decide if gaining more middle-aged women as customers was worth the cost of updating their stores and spending more money to keep them clean and neat, and better stocked with the types of products that middle-aged women with children needed. But that’s another story, for a future article. Stay tuned for further adventures.
Research note: in general when conducting two phases of research (in this case qualitative and quantitative market research) it’s most often the case that the qualitative research phase is conducted first as a “lead-in”. Qualitative research tends to help the management team understand the underlying issues, and then the second phase (quantitative in this case) helps to understand how pervasive these feelings/attitudes are among a certain target audience.
