Where to go?

No matter how much you try to look your best and spit shine your car for that extra gloss, you are only as good as what you have to offer. This means that the slickest and smoothest talker has to follow up with fun and original first date ideas.

Remember the saying, “Actions speak louder than words?” Well, it couldn’t be any truer in this situation. You... [Read more]

Nineteenth-century military theorist Carl von Clausewitz suggested that war happens when one nation tries to impose its will on another: “…as one side dictates the law to the other, there arises a sort of reciprocal action, which logically must lead to an extreme.” Clausewitz’s maxim can be applied to relationship warfare as well. Couples tend to fight when one party tries to... [Read more]

Number 10
Being too much of a nice guy
Have you ever noticed that the really attractive women never seem to be attracted to “nice” guys?

Of course you have.

Just like me, I’m sure you’ve had attractive female friends that always seemed to date “jerks”… but for some reason they were never romantically interested in you.

What’s... [Read more]

It’s a classic tale. Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Boy shares one of his biggest interests with Girl and is stoked when Girl reveals that she loves said interest too. Boy is happy. Cut to six months later. Girl isn’t as into the “shared” interest anymore. Boy is sad.

“I don’t love you anymore.” It’s one of the worst sentences a guy can hear, especially when it comes out of the blue in the midst of what you thought was a good relationship. You don’t have screaming or horrible fights. There’s no abuse of any kind. You thought things were moving along nicely and suddenly she hits you with the revelation that she’s not that into you anymore. Why would... [Read more]

1. Trim the nose hairs.
This is something very basic that makes a world of difference. Many companies make nose hair clippers for a moderate price (Panasonic Nose Clipper, 101Shavers.com, $8.99). Believe me when I tell you this is something that people do notice.

2. Trim the eyebrows.
I actually even recommend getting them professionally cleaned (not shaped) to open up the eyes.... [Read more]

1- Being too easy to please
The truth is that women love compliments. We adore being told we’re hot, irresistible and look sexy in our new black minidress. But throw out too many niceties too early on, laugh at all of our jokes (even when we both know they’re not funny), and always want to do what we want to do, and we’ll begin to think you’re being insincere. We’ll also think that... [Read more]

People are born, they grow up and they eventually die. This is an inevitable fact of life. Every age has a beauty of its own. It would be impossible and against the force of nature for people between the ages of 45 and 65 to act and have the performance of people who are in their 20s or 30s. We can see from recently published articles that women who are between the ages of 45 and 65 have superior... [Read more]
