How To Become Pregnant After 40? 2007-10-14 16:53:00 While it is difficult, you can do itIn a world in which women are trying to find a relationship after 30 and many already believe that forties are the new thirties, it should come as no surprise that many women have no choice but to take a shot at being pregnant after they have crossed 40. However, fertility drops rapidly with age and the risk of malformations, especially Down’s Syndrome, in the fetus is higher among older moms. Knowing this, is it wrong to want a baby at this age? Are you being irresponsible if you are considering pregnancy at such a late stage in your life? These are questions that trouble many women who either because of their careers or due to the way in which their relationships worked out, could not have children in their 20s and 30s. While detailed data is difficult to get, it is estimated that approximately 100,000 babies are born each year to mothers between the ages of 40 to 44 and about 7,000 to women 45 and older in the United States.The main reason for Read more:Become
When A Man Needs A Makeover 2007-10-14 16:42:00 Women now want an attractive manImage is no longer solely a concern for women. Today's man is taking it upon himself to make a concerted effort to look - and feel - his best! This has never been more apparent than in today's singles scene - where competition for the ladies is at an all-time high, and women are demanding more from their suitors. "Forget vanity - we're looking for a man who just cares enough about his appearance to stimulate our desires," says Tiffany Taylor, author of The Single Man's Guide to Great Women.Men can no longer wait to find a wife and expect her to choose his shirts and ties - or nag him to shave and shower on the weekend. These days, men have to go out on the town proving they can take care of themselves before a woman will even show the slightest bit of interest in him. "It's not about a big bank account or a full head of hair," Taylor points out. "Women today want a man who oozes self-confidence, and sometimes that does mean you have to play games Read more:Needs

Do Not Be A Social Coward 2007-10-14 16:38:00 You Became a Social
Coward by AccidentI will bet the following statement is true for any guy reading this who doesn't do well with the ladies: You don't really understand what it is you're doing WRONG that makes you so unattractive to women... for the *exact same reason* that "Casanova" who scores left and right with them doesn't understand what he's doing RIGHT.Huh? Read that again if you have to. Both YOU and Casanova are essentially clueless as to why you ended up the way that you are in terms of your skill levels (or lack there of) when it comes to charming and seducing women. Of course, Mr. Casanova isn't unhappy about his situation, right? But you sure are.Theory Time: I believe that both sets of behaviors which lie at opposite ends of the spectrum are the result of accidents that occurred when you were both just beginning to notice girls in a different light ... sheer random incidents which involved elements of good or bad luck, and nothing more.It went like this:
Metrosexual Makeover 2007-10-14 16:32:00 How to go about it?So you have decided to become a metrosexual or at least become your real self if you were one in the closet. Like a gay man or a lesbian woman, it is not easy to do that since you are always afraid that people will point fingers at you or crack jokes about you behind your back.Steve is one of those men facing that dilemma. "I am both a right and left-brain guy, and identify pretty much with the metrosexual crowd, while being brought up in the tough, macho south. What steps would you suggest to take after I've begun to alter my wardrobe?" he asks.Any makeover or a transformation is not easy particularly if people around you are not supportive. Women who undergo plastic surgery often realize that people around them alter their perspectives and respond differently (and that means negatively) to their new/better look. The key to succeeding in such an environment is to think about the good things that are happening to you rather than worrying about how others might Read more:Makeover
Metrosexual But A Man In Every Other Way 2007-10-14 16:27:00 Yes, you can be a metrosexual and go fight a war tooI have written extensively on the topic of metrosexuals and it does not surprise me that there are so many misconceptions about metrosexuals among both women and men. Which is perfectly understandable because the trend of being a metrosexual is having a revival after almost 60 years.Remember that not too long ago all men were what we call as metrosexuals today. Being a real man who could pick up a gun and shoot a couple of deer or go fight the second world war did not mean that these men were shabby or sloppy otherwise. Just look at some of the magazines, movies, and paintings from that era. Like the ladies, men were always immaculate down to the last hair on their head.So the question being asked by a lot of metrosexuals who are otherwise tough but also take good care of themselves is Why can't a man be both a metrosexual and a tough guy? Here is what an ex-soldier in the US Army says, "I have always taken very good care of h
Emotional Connection With Your Partner 2007-10-13 07:02:00 How to build one?Phil writes, "I really agree with the article on what women want, but my problem is that I think that I have found the only woman in the world that I can't break into her emotions. I am constantly trying to do everything in your article to ensure to her that she is my world and trying to get her to open up to me but it's not really working. What should I do?"I can imagine a few possibilities:1. She is too shy and cannot express her emotions towards you even though she may feel them.2. She does not feel the same passion for the relationship as you do and that is not a good sign.3. She is depressed and unable to respond to emotions.4. She is an idiot to deny the love of a wonderful man like you.What can you do?Try to find out which of these scenarios are likely in your case. There are things you can do to help her with 1. How to stop being shy2. Make a relationship passionate3. How to treat depression4. But if this is the case, then it is too sad. You might want to Read more:Partner

Making Love For First Time 2007-10-13 06:52:00 Can it be special?Women expect that when they lose their virginity, it will be a very special moment for them. It is, but only for those that do not lose it when they are in their early teens, as most Americans do. No wonder then that for most of them it is painful, an anti-climax, and not as much fun as they thought it would be. It takes a lot of skill to do it right and most teenagers do not have those.Something similar also happens when you make love to a new partner for the very first time, even if you are a grownup. The two people need to get totally comfortable with each other and that takes time. So the first time is rarely a time to remember forever.That is exactly what happened to Nellie. She was being pursued by a wonderful guy for months and finally she consented to being intimate. "He was quite attentive but I feel I have to remind him of foreplay. I didn't really want to have our first time in my car but so be it. I am somewhat disappointed and am wondering if I sho Read more:First

Penile Enlargement surgery 2007-10-12 05:18:00 Do you need it? Does it help? What results to expect?Many men obsess over the size of their private part (doctors even have a name for it - penile dysmorphic disorder) and some even spend money on all kinds of pills, lotions, and devices. Those who can afford it even resort to plastic surgery in a procedure that is called penile augmentation.And what is the average size of a male organ? It is smaller than most people think. The maximum length averages just 5.5 inches and the range is 3.7 (Oriental men) to 6.2 inches (French men), according to data compiled by Dr. Eduardo Gomez de Diego, CEO of Andromedical.So should you have penile augmentation surgery (PAS)?It is very tempting to undergo this surgery with the expectation that suddenly all the women in the world will turn into your slaves and you can become a super-performer in bed. In fact that is the main problem. Men have unrealistic expectations when it comes to enlarging their penises. The logic is same as hymen repair surge
What Do Men Want From Women? 2007-10-12 05:14:00 So many times has the question been asked, "So what does a woman want?" It is a valid question to ask since it is the woman who is the inscrutable one and the man does not understand her. But nothing is as simple as it seems. Now women are asking a similar question, "So what does a man want?" Or in other words, what are the qualities a man looks for in a women, and what characteristics do men find attractive in women.The simple reality is that like women, there is no one type of man. Men have very different opinions as well, all the way from those that are basically looking for a maid-servant (cook, clean, take care of the kids, and provide some intimacy when they want) to those that want a true "friend" (think of a woman as a partner in the pursuit of happiness, share the work, and even enjoy shopping with women).But based on our research, here are a few things that almost all men seek in a woman:Beauty: Now mind you, it does not mean that there is any uniform standard of beauty, but Read more:Women
Better Learn More About Menopause 2007-10-12 05:08:00 Men must understand menopauseMohamed is a Muslim man in his early 40s and tells us that he has been married with his wife for about eight years now. He says, "My wife does not enjoy any physical intimacy at all though I can do it three to four times a day and love it. I need help!"There are several reasons why desire goes down over the years and you must try to find out what is the reason. It may also involve consultation with a doctor to find out if she has a physical or mental condition. Depression, stress, and worry are some of the psychological reasons that can affect mood and desire. Similarly, biochemical changes in the body can have disastrous consequences on desire.That brings us to the topic of menopause. Many men forget that while they are largely unaffected the special woman in their life is starting to see the gradual impact of menopause. Even many women do not realize that they are entering the menopause phase. Desire in this phase drops rapidly and women just do not know Read more:Menopause
50 First Dates 2007-10-12 05:00:00 Review of the book by April Masini on dating ideas for both men and womenWith the emergence of the Internet as a new tool to find a relationship, there is something else that is happening - the first date does not happen for a really long time. Remember the old days? If you are not old enough, then talk to your parents or go watch an old movie. A date was the only way two people could really get to know each other first. Sometimes it would be just a drink or a trip to a local event together. What is happening now is that people are using technology (email, instant messaging, video chat, telephone calls, etc.) now to communicate for a long time and only if they feel that it is good idea to take the relationship to the next level, they schedule a date. So the first date in such a situation becomes really a big deal.In this context, the latest book 50 First
Dates by April Masini, the relationships expert, is very timely and useful. In the old days, since the first date was only for intro Read more:First Dates
Dealing With Erectile Dysfunction in A Man 2007-10-12 04:56:00 How can couples deal with ED?Kay is a good friend of mine for over seven years now, and while not important, we have never met. I ran into her at a bulletin board in 1997 and since then we have become great friends. We email each other all the time, exchange photos, and even chat on the phone or instant messenger. We might meet some day. As you can guess, we know a lot about each other and one of the things that she tells me is her private life, or should I say the lack of it.Kay and her husband are intimate a few times a year. In fact when I talked to her last night and we just started to tease each other, she told me that she can not even recall when was the last time they did it (she guessed it has been several months now).She thinks her husband is otherwise a wonderful man and has everything else that a good husband should have; he just cannot be intimate with her because of what she thinks is ED. They have never seen a physician and it is something that they never seem to talk abo Read more:Erectile Dysfunction
How To Put A Relationship On Hold? 2007-10-20 15:10:00 Jason has been in a relationship for not too long - just six months, but he likes his girlfriend and would consider a committed relationship. However, there is a problem - he has many other commitments to keep at work and his part-time career as a basketball player is taking off. “I have been really stressed out due to these pressures and have not had the time to see her or talk to her. I honestly don’t know if I should breakup and move on. I do not want to disappoint her by not spending enough time with her, but I also do not have the time for a relationship. What should I do?”The question you have to ask yourself is Do you like her enough to see a future with her? If you do, you can let her know that you will be busy for the next few months and are not sure if you have enough time to dedicate to the relationship - though you would try to do your best. Hopefully she will understand. If she chooses to wait, you must do your best to spend time with her when you can. It is also not Read more:Relationship
How To Approach The Man I Like? 2007-10-20 15:06:00 Caroline writes, “I am a very shy person and the other day I met this most amazing, handsome man. He paid me a lot of attention to me at a party and hinted that he wanted to go out with me. Since I am so uncomfortable around men and did not know what to say, I just kept smiling. After a while, he left me alone, and I think that he guessed that I was not interested in him. I think if I go on like this I will lose every person that I like and I will end up with the people who I don’t like! I don’t know what is wrong with me that I can’t say the right words in the right place or react correctly to what other people do. When am I going to learn? It’s really hard! I keep thinking what am I doing! Is this right? I have to learn someday! Please help.”What can a shy woman do?I get an impression that you have this wrong idea that men should do all the work and you will simply sit and hope that things will magically happen for you. At least that is not how men like women to be. Yes,
Can You Ask A Man To Commit? 2007-10-20 14:50:00 It is much better if he does it on his ownOne of the biggest challenges women facing while dating is to get commitment from a man. Cathy has been dating a man for over six months but their relationship has not gone too far since he never showed any desire to take the relationship to the next level. They enjoyed each others company but never reached a point to make their relationship more official.She says, "For Valentines Day I thought it would be nice for us to get together and spend some quality time. I even thought that he might make a stronger commitment to me. After showing his reluctance to even go on a date with me, I gave up, but at the last minute he showed up at my place. We had a pleasant evening as we both do like each other. We talked for hours about family, personality, our zodiac signs, etc. He confided he told his friends that he finds me sweet. I asked him.Does he think he takes care of my needs, and he said no, and not like he would like to. When he asked me if I
How To Catch A Cheat? 2007-10-20 14:34:00 Tips to get the proof of an adulterous spouse or partner Infidelity expert Ruth Houston says that if you suspect that your special someone is cheating, the best time to catch a cheat is around the Valentine's Day. After all it is the time when romantics demonstrate their love to each other and shower gifts on them. She says, "Any cheating husband or boyfriend who wants to stay in his lover's good graces, (and in her bed) has to buy her a gift. More than likely that gift will be delivered in person -- if not on Valentine's Day, then the day after or the day before."So what can you do to catch an adulterous spouse? If you have been desperately trying to get the evidence on your own and have failed, then Houston says, it may be time to hire a private investigator to follow your mate so that you can then confront your cheating partner with the proof. "You're almost certain to get the proof you need at a fraction of the usual cost. Since you only need the investigator's se Read more:Catch

And if you do not pick the right product for your hair, there is nothing that can fix messy hair.

At less than $4, this is one of the best deep conditioners in this price range. It leaves the hair soft and it is easy to comb even severely damaged hair.

A Latina Seduces A Man By Changing Clothes In Front of Him 2007-10-19 17:47:00 Story of an American man who befriends a Latina
You would not believe how routine my life is. If someone were to do a story on my life, there would be nothing really interesting at all to write about me - well at least not prior to early this year. I live what most people call the "Great American Dream" but many people fail to realize that a dream might sometimes make us so absorbed in our own little worlds that it becomes boring.A house in the suburbs, a drop-dead gorgeous Korean-American wife, and two beautiful daughters. I could not have asked for more. I know the world is full of problems but for people like me that is just news. No wonder for millions of people like me, everything is generally so predictable.

Tips On Lesbian Dating 2007-10-19 17:43:00 One of the challenges of dating for gay and lesbian people is that first you have to make sure that the person you like has the same lifestyle as you do. Believe me, it can be a bigger challenge than you thank. For heterosexual men and women, anyone of the opposite sex is a potential mate. For lesbians (I will focus only on lesbians in this article since it arose out of a discussion that focused on them but the points are equally valid for gays too), they have to either confirm that the woman that they are attracted to is a lesbian or at least has an inclination.Sarah, who believe it or not, lives in Singapore, has written to me a couple of times. She is attracted to her professor who has not yet shown any romantic interest in her though she has always maintained more than professorial interest in her through her gestures. Sarah has tried to approach her but has always been politely turned away. While rejection of her earlier efforts have discouraged Sarah from trying again but has not Read more:Dating

I was always true to my marriage, I never dated or been with a woman, and have just been a regular woman in every way. But now I like someone. She is about 58, so much older than me, and very sweet. I see her in the church, and once a week in the women's group that we both go to. I have only had short talks with her so far. We have hugged and it feels good to hug her.I think that she has responded to my hugs, acknowledging my warmth.

How To Overcome Fears? 2007-10-18 07:27:00 Tips on gaining self-confidence and reducing anxietyCan you think of something that you did not even try for because you were afraid of rejection? Can you think of a person that you know/knew who would go ahead and do whatever she or he liked without worrying about rejection? Do you know who was the winner and who was the loser? I don't have to repeat this since you already know this - if you have fear of rejection and anxiety, you will not even try. And if you do try, since you will come across as someone with low self-esteem, chances are that you will be definitely rejected. So it becomes a vicious circle. Let us take a look at Lisa's situation. She says, "I really like this guy who works at a video store by my house. My problem is that I am very shy and scared of rejection. Since I was in the first grade I have tried to get a boyfriend. But any time a boy found out that I liked them, they would be very mean. So I would keep my feelings to myself.

Tips On Casual Relationships 2007-10-18 06:56:00 A man shares his experienceI am an American male in my mid-30's. I'm married to a Japanese woman I met in the US, and we live in the US now. Having lived for a few years in Japan (as a lowly English teacher), I also learned to speak passable Japanese.My wife is about 10 years older than me, a beautiful woman I love dearly. But we have a not totally uncommon problem: her low drive for physical intimacy. She has always been low energy, becomes cold quickly, and it would be best to call her 'frigid'. When we make love, it's good--but it's rare. This did surprise me a little since I was always led to believe that Japanese women were extremely passionate in bed. Naturally, especially since I am her opposite in this regard, tension developed. Her solution? "Why don't you just find a younger woman?".Since this was initially suggested during a nasty argument, I didn't take her seriously. And honestly, I didn't want to do so. But then, in the course of several "calm" conversations, s Read more:Relationships

How To Live With A Spouse Who Always Criticizes? 2007-10-18 06:35:00 Strategy to deal with a controlling partnerOne of the major causes of breakups and divorces is a partner who is just too critical - not just of life in general, but of YOU. Dr. Nancy Wasson says that the toxic effects of repeated criticism accumulate over time, and often the criticism is part of a larger pattern of controlling behavior by one spouse. So are you just a sensitive person or you have a real problem spouse? Then take the Wasson Test and if the answer to even one question is "yes," then you need to act:1. Do you often feel that your controlling husband or wife criticizes you unfairly?2. Do you feel that your mate consistently looks for nit-picking things to criticize?3. Do you feel that your controlling spouse routinely criticizes you for things that have been blown out of proportion or are beyond your control?Tips to cope with a controlling and critical spouse:1. Try to listen without getting defensive. Hear your spouse out and let him (or her) say what’s on his mind Read more:Spouse

She writes, "I have been dating my boyfriend for about four years now. I had expected him to pop the question over a year ago, the way things were going/progressing. My dad had the talk with him 8 months ago and wanted to know his intentions. He hasn't given either one of us an answer. I am afraid that he is commitment phobic boyfriend. When I first had the courage to ask him, he said that we need to graduate from college first, and we did. Then he said we both needed to be financially stable and have good jobs. We both have good jobs now and have started our careers for more than a year now. Now, he says he wants everything to be prefect and he is just not ready yet. Should I wait? Will he ever be ready?

Marriage Without Passion 2007-10-23 19:34:00 Should I have an affair?Lynne writes, "I am a mature woman, approaching 40s. I consider myself happy and independent. I am married to a great man and we have two children. Our relationship is not perfect, but when I compare it to others I feel it is fine and it has been improving over the years. My husband and I almost never argue. This does not mean we don't make each other mad; we have just learned how to avoid and accept things we dislike. Culturally we are very different. I am more social and I need this. I am in many ways the typical Hispanic woman. I love to dance and see people. He is very British. This does not mean we don't go out. We do, but only to eat in a nice restaurant and he is not a good talker although I respect this difference.

I can keep friends and I choose not to cheat, because I would not want anyone doing that to me. But I love feeling Read more:Passion
How To Handle Cheating Partner Before Marriage 2007-10-23 19:09:00 Wondering if your man is cheating on you is not only a blow to your self-esteem, it can be stressful. However, a lot of the time, when someone merely suspects but has no evidence to prove adultery by a man, it is baseless to worry about it. Let us take a look at Tracy’s situation and what she can do alleviate her suffering.Tracy writes. “I am 22 and my fiancé is 25. We have been together for almost four years, but now we are having jealousy issues over other women. I never used to be a very jealous woman. I never got my feathers ruffled up when I see a skinny blonde woman at the mall talking to my boyfriend or guy friends. But now it has changed since I have been with Steven. He makes me jealous when he talks to a woman. He acts as if he is a macho man and treats me like I am nothing. He bosses me around and he stares at other woman when we are together.I also have strong suspicion that he has had an affair with one of his colleagues.
