Relationships Problems

So you realize you have a few relationships problems. This is the norm, my friend. I mean come on; we all have to realize this at some point in our lives. Maybe you and your spouse don't agree on everything. Well, welcome to the club called everybody. Okay, I may have stolen that bit from Drew Carry. Anyway, this is the way it has to be. It all stems back to the fact that no two individuals are exactly alike. Hey, this is a good thing. We want diversity in our world. One thing I can tell you regarding relationships problems is that you can get assistance and advice from professionals. These days you can even acquire this online.

I personally have relationships problems. I don't deny it one bit. I have some trouble with each of the girls in my household. Whether it's my wife, my teenage daughter, or my seven year old daughter, there's always something wrong. Now I know what you're thinking at this point. In fact, the thought probably running through your head right now goes something like this; "You live with three girls? You poor bastard." I know, I know; it can definitely be a challenge at times. In all honesty, when it comes to relationships problems for me, it typically concerns my wife. She is not exactly into compromise. This is what usually fuels our arguments. She certainly likes to have everything her way, and she has no trouble admitting it. That's just the way it is for her. And she's not satisfied until she has her way. Well, on the bright side of things, there is no passion if there is no anger. Am I right on this one? I think there has to be one for the other to exist. Or at least that is what a psychology professor told me. He claims that couples who never fight are either closing themselves off completely or simply not in love. You come to your own conclusions.

Now days you can acquire answers to relationships problems just by getting on the web. This is such a convenience, and I think everyone should take full advantage of it. Hop online and see if you can find valid answers to your queries. Although relationships problems will never cease to exist as long as humans are around, that doesn't mean we have to live in the dark.

Teens And Their Relationships

Being a parent is no easy job. You may feel this at times when your child is still in diapers, but just wait until he/she hits puberty. This is when the real mess begins. In all honesty, I don't think there's anything that can truly prepare you for the teen years. For one reason, every kid is different to some extent. Furthermore it's hard to understand it until you see it first-hand. You'll suddenly be dealing with hormones gone wild, crazy emotions, and a desire for the teen to separate him/herself from you. It can really try your patience at times. Then there's the opposite sex. Your teenager is going to dwell on them redundantly. Let's just hope you have some decent teen relationship advice to offer.

I hate dealing with teens and their relationships. It's as simple as that. Probably one of the main reasons is because they think their relationships are so serious and powerful when they're really just minor crushes or flirting games. Little do they know that the person they're dating in high school would probably be someone they'd steer clear of at the age of 25. This is why teen relationship advice is so imperative. It's our job as parents to help steer our kids in the right direction. The last thing we want to become an issue is teen pregnancy. This can seriously ruin lives and future goals. Now comes the grand dilemma with teen relationship advice. No teen on this planet really wants to listen to some diatribe about relationships from their parents. Hey, don't fret just yet. These days things have been simplified a bit. The Internet can help any and all teenagers with teen relationship advice. Chat with someone who knows what you're going through, but won't judge you. After all, this is what everyone yearns for in the first place. Not to be judged.

There are chat groups and support forums on the web at all times regarding teen relationship advice. If you're having difficulties conversing with your teenager, direct them to their personal computer for a few tips concerning teen relationships and advice for dating. It's prudent to get some kind of adult guidance at this stage in your life so that terrible mistakes can be avoided.

Online Romance

Online Romance

I remember back when I was getting married in 2001 I had met a girl online who lived in New Jersey. She had told me that she had met her husband-to-be online, and that they were now getting married. Back then, online romance was something of a mystery. Many people were scared about the prospect of finding a mate or even a real friend online. Today these relationships are more and more common, and many are finding what they consider to be the love of their life on the Internet.

I am still weary of some of the people at me online. I have been on the Internet long enough now to know that most of the people you talk to are not representing themselves as they really are. I guess everyone does this to a certain degree, but there are some people out there who want an online romance so badly that they completely misrepresent what they look like, who they are, and even where they live. For every good story you hear about online romance, there are five bad ones to go along with it.

One of my closest friends was recently engaged in an online romance. She was not looking for this sort of thing, as she met this person on a divorce support web site. She had absolutely no intentions of dating anyone at that point her life, but the online romance bloomed before she knew what was happening. I met the guy myself a few months ago, and I found him to be a delightful person. I have no idea if they are still dating at this point, as I have not talked to her in a few months.

I do know that she was just as surprised as I was that she found an online romance. We were both pleasantly surprised to find that he was exactly what he claimed to be, and when she met him, they were no bad surprises. Though I am very happy for her, I know that she is an exception. There are many people who are meeting online that developed a great online romance, but there are many more who are left bitter and disappointed. Remember to use common sense when dating and talking to people online. If something sounds too good to be true, you can bet your bottom dollar that it is. Trust your gut feelings.

Attracting women

Attracting women has always been a little bit of a problem for me. I have had a number of successful relationships, but none of them have really been what I was looking for. It seems like I just fall into them. I wish I was better at attracting females. As it is, I don't feel like I have much of a choice in mates. Really, I usually go for whoever is attracted to me first. If I knew how to attract women, I think my dating life would be more successful. I would have increased self-confidence, as well as a choice of potential partners. This, in turn, would make me even more attractive to women.

Recently, I began taking a seminar on attracting women. I have seen so many how to attract women books on the Internet that it piqued my curiosity. At first, I assumed it was nonsense. You always see these kinds of books advertised everywhere. They might promise to teach you how to make more money, how to more effectively reach your personal or professional goals, or how to master attracting women. Whatever the claim, they always appear to promise a high level of success with little or no effort. It is very hard to believe their claims.

Still, after reading the testimonials, I figured that I had nothing to lose by trying. After all, the course only cost a few hundred dollars. In the grand scheme of things, although it was hard for me to throw away a couple hundred bucks on something that might not work, if I mastered the secret of attracting women it would all be worth it.

A lot of the attracting women course seems to be common sense, but it is still helpful. The instructor teaches us to be more self-confident, more forward, and less afraid of taking risks. He argues that if you never try, you never know. I have been trying this approach in every area of my life, and it seems to pay off. People always like self-confidence. It makes them confidence in you as well. Still, my level of success at attracting women has not increased very much since I began my class. If anything, feeling more comfortable approaching women has given me more opportunities to be shot down. Still, I feel like something is happening. At least I am not afraid to try now. After all, attracting women is easier if you feel free to talk to them.

Benefits of Having Long Distance Relationship

Did I mention that there is one benefit to having a long distance relationship? It puts money into the pockets of big airline corporations such as Virgin Atlantic, gas stations like Chevron and big phone companies like Verizon. They thank you very much for your business. Unfortunately for couples, there are no benefits for being in a long distance relationship. There is as enormous complexity of factors involved that make it difficult.

Let me tell you about the story of John and Jane. John lives in Los Angeles and Jane lives in New York. They both met at a party when Jane was in town on a business trip. The first problem that the two have is which one is the person that is going to be moving? Is either person willing to sacrifice their job or career for perhaps a lower pay or standard of living? What about leaving friends and family behind? If Jane is not moving to LA and John is not moving to New York, then why are they talking at all?

The second problem is that long distance relationships give a false sense of hope to one another. It may appear to raise each other's interest level, but in reality, it doesn't. It is the anticipation of meeting again that causes the interest to rise, creating a false sense of love. Any time your partner calls, you jump at the chance to talk. You never put her on hold or tell her that you're too busy with something else right now. Everything in your life gets put on hold to give her all of your attention.

The third problem that you have is that you can't bond if you're not around. There is a saying that "actions speak louder than words." You develop trust and comfort with that person when you are spending time together doing things. It allows you to see their personality, how the person reacts and how the person treats you. You can only judge a person's interest through their actions and body language which you obviously can't see in a LDR. Romance and love is by and large non-verbal, from the way you look at each other to the simple hugs given at the right moment when you need them. So what is the point of seeing each other every 3 or 6 months?

Problem number four is trying to make up for the distance by talking on the phone way too much. How does talking four or five times on a daily basis allow a relationship to build? Would you believe someone that is thousands of miles away who kept saying "I love you"! It's all talk and a phone call is definitely a poor substitute for a hug.

How about the 50 emails you send her everyday or the hours you spend instant messaging? What good does that do to building the relationship? But at the end, what do you really find out about that person? Did you go to their house? Did you see how she treats their parents or siblings? Maybe you did go to their place for a weekend. But yeah, you could have gone on a good day where she didn't treat her parents the way she usually does. Since you never see each other in normal day to day life, you lack the true knowledge of the other person and that is where the big problem lies.

The fifth problem is that it is a waste of money. Depending on where you are flying to and from, you can be spending thousands of dollars per year to see each other (and the false hope also). You may be going over your minutes and end up racking up $400 dollars per month phone bills. What about buying phone cards for international calls on a monthly basis? You may end up spending hundreds of dollars per year purchasing them. All this wasted money can be spent on building a relationship with someone who is close by.

Finally, It is a waste of time waiting for someone that is thousands of miles away. The fact is that no relationship, near of far, is 100% guaranteed. But the mere attempt at a long distance relationship increases the odds close to 100% that it is NOT going to work.

So what makes you think that your long distance love is going to be a hermit once he/she has committed to you? Most likely they won't be. They still have to go to work, go shopping, stop by the bank and go to the gym. Thus, they will be meeting others too, increasing the likelihood that they will meet someone that is better than you. If you are not there, then they have to fill that void with someone else. It's just the basic human need to be with others.

For John and Jane, their expectations of each other are skyrocketing even though they haven't seen each other in months. However, when they do get together as an exclusive couple, they would just end up at the start because they are really strangers to each other. The phone company AT&T almost had it right. Reach out but this time, don't touch someone.

The Art Of Relationship And Dating Women

We have talked at great length about the need for you to display higher value throughout your interactions with women. Now we are going to keep your non verbal signs from interfering with your game. The key to learning how to sexually attract women is to have game in all areas. To obtain social awareness, to be completely aware of your target and where she stands in this interaction but to stay self aware at the same time, allowing you to control the situation as it plays out in front of you.

Rate of Speech- Keep you rate of speech and tone in mind, never start speaking to fast. Speaking quickly insinuates nervousness; you become a telemarketing trying to get their spiel out before someone hangs out on the other end. What you have to say matters, and she wants to hear it! So take your time, slow down your pace and allow yourself to be heard.

Filler Words- Avoid um- ah-like it is distracting and takes away from the substance of statement. Filler words make you sound insecure so pause for though and don't try to fill the silence with random sounds.

Tonality- Don't fall into a monotone rhythmic pattern. We have all sat in a lecture hall listening to a professor drone on about some topic that we have no interest in. On the on the hand we have all sat in front of a story teller who's voice and gestures pull you into the story and take you to the place being described by the tell. If you are going to figure out how to sexually attract women you need to be a story teller not a professor.

Space- As an alpha male you are expected to take up space. Whether you're standing or sitting allow you feet to be spread apart and feel free to tuck your hands into your back pockets to keep your arm away from you body.

Hand- No ringing out your hands or tapping the table with your fingers.

Keep Your Head Up- You own this place and everyone knows it, so act like it. No staring at the floor or looking down all the time.

Smile- Smiling can be very powerful. So use it as such, don't smile all the time. If you're going to learn how to sexually attract women your smile should be a weapon so only smile when there is something to smile about.

Eye Contact- Don't stare her down all the time but do make solid eye contact during the conversation. Making eye contact shows confidence but take a break from time to time and look away.

There is still a lot to explore when it comes to non verbal, we still need to look at the correct nonverbal to display at approach as well as her non verbal signs to you, and finally what we like to call "kino" or how you escalate physically touching her. So these tips will help you discover how to sexually attract women always remember that "The Game" is played in the field so get out there and practice your skills. I'm Out!

What Women Want In Relationship With Men?

It seems that there are very few women I know who do not have bad relationships with men. A lot of my friends are married, but at least half of them are unhappily so. I’m not sure why so many have so many problems, but it seems that this is the topic of at least half of our conversations. There seems to be a huge break down in communications between the sexes. It’s not all the fault of the men either, as women play just a big a role in this problem.

One friend in particular is having a horrible time with her relationships with men. She and her husband are pretty much roommates, and even years of marriage counseling have not helped them any. Her relationships with men have always been rocky, even though she is one of the sweetest people I know. I think she may have a problem speaking up for herself, and this is half of the problem. When problems are unknown and kept silent, the man has no way to try to work it out, if that is what he wants to do. Even her male friendships are strained.

There are some who say the way you deal with relationships with men as an adult are a direct result of your relationship with your father when you were a child. I don’t know if this is true, but it does make a lot of sense. I have read that those who did not get the attention they needed from the men in their lives while growing up will go on to seek relationships with men that are not healthy. They may not be as choosy when deciding upon a partner, and this means they will take the first man that comes along. We all know that is not always the best idea.

Now that I have a daughter of my own, I think about my own relationships with men, and how to make sure she is getting what she needs. I don’t want to her think she needs to have a man to make herself feel complete, and I don’t want her jumping into bad relationships with men just because she thinks she needs to have one around. I want her to be full all by herself so when she decides to be with someone, it is because he treats her well, respects her, and loves her dearly, not because she thinks she needs someone, anyone.

Common Instances Of Inter Racial Relationships

The world is a complicated machine. There are so many parts and factors to consider. I honestly doubt we'll ever see the day when it runs perfectly. Our species is simply far too diverse and close-minded to ever let such a thing happen. Take race for instance. This was, is and always will be a huge issue amongst humans. We must be the only species that cares about the color of skin. This concern clearly derives from fear. Fear of the unknown, as some folks put it. Since none of us know what it's really like to be a different race, many people fear what they don't know/understand. As if there's some secret, unsavory ritual going on. I often wonder if humans will ever move past the issue of interracial relationships and find it within themselves to accept everyone equally. So far things are not looking good.

Do you know of any interracial relationships? Of course you do! Or at least a few in the Hollywood circuit. We see this stuff on TV and in tabloids all the time. But, do you have any friends or acquaintances who are involved in interracial relationships? I know I do. One of my close friends from high school is Asian and his fiance is white. I am also Caucasian, and I can honestly say that this interracial relationship doesn't affect me whatsoever. Why should it? They treat each other well, and I don't wish to date the girl. On the other hand, some folks don't like it. They get odd glares all the time while out in public, as I'm certain many interracial couples do. I'd think by now our society would be past all this, but for some reason they can't be. One thing everyone should do is ask themselves how interracial relationships affect them. If you can come up with something legitimate, I'd be surprised. The truth is it has no bearing on you or your life whatsoever when it comes to strangers and their interracial relationships. Therefore you shouldn't be offended or perturbed.

Ignorance is often the issue where race is concerned. People typically judge things they don't understand. Whether it be choice of music, interracial relationships, or ways of life, it's imperative to learn more before you make judgments. I am addressing all races when I say this, because individuals from all of them do it.
