A Woman’s Guide to Writing a Great Profile

by Kim and Charles Petty

OKthe time has come. You have joined an online dating service or two. Now you must write that all-important profile the one that will attract attention and reel in the man of your dreams but where to start? Maybe writing isn’t even something you think you do all that well. Even so, you can do this.

The first thing is to be absolutely honest about yourself. You are looking for that man who will likemaybe someday loveYOU.THE REAL YOU! Examine past relationships and list the things that you liked and the things you did not like. If he smoked in the house and you hated it, you won’t like it any better the next time. If you love cats and will always want to own one or more, say that you are an animal lover and want indoor pets. Someone who hates cats or is allergic to them is not the guy for you.

Accent the things that make you unique. If you play the piano well, you really want Mr. Right to appreciate it. If you run in marathons, a couch potato is not a good match. If you love art, you really don’t want a man who thinks Picasso is an ice cream flavor.

Describe the things that are vital in your life. If volunteering is the one thing that makes you feel useful and worthwhile, you want someone who would, at the very least, support you if not join you in your volunteer projects. When you get beyond superficial things, you will attract men who share your values.

Invest in your online profile by hiring a professional photographer for your first online picture. This is so important. The picture is the FIRST thing men see. The second thing is that they read what you have written about yourself. Some online dating sites even provide you with a list of photographers in your area that specialize in online dating site photos.

Online Dating Can Be Tough

by Kim and Charles Petty

Here’s a little secret that those of the female persuasion keep from us guys: Women, even very beautiful women, like to be approached by a confident and interesting man. Are you surprised? It’s trueand confident and interesting are much more important than looks to ladies of all ages, too. That’s true for internet dating, as well as, dating in your brick and mortar world but we’re talking about internet dating hereso back to the subject at hand.

Once you have joined an online dating service, you will find that there a lot more men than women and that the men are much more likely to browse profiles and make initial contacts than women. Yes, it’s a woman’s worldstill. It’s “traditional” for men to make the first move. It always has been and it always will be. Some things never change. That’s why your profile and picture are so important.

Rememberconfident and interesting.and that does not translate to cocky and self-centered. It’s important that your profile lets people know that you have friends you care about and that you are passionately interested in a variety of thingsnot JUST sports. Another thing about that all-important profile.please don’t start it with, “I’m the guy your mama warned you about”.

You will have just shot yourself in the foot with that line. Another one to never use is, “I could be the man of your dreams”. The lady HOPES you are but she will be the judge of thatso don’t insult her intelligence. Remember.exude confidence and interesting and you will find that lady you have been looking foror she will find you.

Won’t it be nice to have the ladies contacting you instead of you having to do everything? If you write a great profile that stands out in the crowd, that will happen.

A Hotel or Villa in Florida

by Craig Walker

After deciding what flights to Florida to get and where you want to stay you then have to decide on what type of accommodation is going to be the most suitable for you family or the number of people in the group you are travelling with.

For most European travellers they are used to staying in hotel accommodation when they go on their usual holiday however Florida is not just another holiday destination. A private villa could be a great option.

What could be the main differences between a private holiday villa as compared to a normal hotel in Florida?

Normally in a hotel you would only get one room for your family and depending on how many people are travelling you may need more than one room which will obviously add to the costs. Most private holiday homes will have between two to three bedrooms and possibly a fold down couch in another room. So if the number of people travelling will not fit into a hotel room or you just want more privacy on holiday then a villa could be the option.

The furnishings in a villa are generally of an excellent standard and more spacious than a hotel room. In a lot of cases the villas are used by the owners themselves at certain times of the year.

There is a if you have more than one hotel room you may not get them together. It is even possible that you might be on one floor and the other room could be on another. If the accommodation has more than one building you could have one room in one and the other room in another.

Hotels can be noisy as people come and go at all hours. Like you people are free to come and go as they please and this could result in you being wakened if someone returns to their room during the night and makes a noise.

In your Florida villa you will have cooking facilities should you wish as well as a fridge to stock up with drinks so you don’t need to keep going down to the next floor with your ice bucket and a hand full of change for a vending machine.

In a villa you may or not have a pool if you do it will generally be quite small however it ill be only you and your family using it. Generally in a hotel you will have a large pool which is shared between all the guests.

In the off-peak and sometimes colder months of the year the pools require heating and in most villas this comes at an extra cost. The charges for this vary but could be as much as $40 per day however in a hotel there would be no charge.

Just What Is A Normal Marriage In The Bedroom?

by Dr. Arlene Krieger, PhD

Has this question ever entered yours (or your spouse’s) mind? Are our friends having more sex than we do? Do any other couples have this problem where one partner has high desire, and the other one doesn’t? There must be something really wrong with us! Everyone wants sex all the time, don’t they? The answer is “not necessarily”. More than 40 million Americans feel stuck in low-sex or no sex marriages. Research studies tell us that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men reported little to no sexual desire. At some given time in a marriage more than 50% of couples experience one or both partners with minimal desire for sex.

Desire problems are the most frequent complaint of couples entering sex therapy. They are also often the unspoken complaint of couples entering relationship therapy. It is important to first rule out any physical or biological medical problems. With this in mind, it is recommended to make an appointment with your general medical doctor, or get a referral from your sexologist (Board certified Clinical Sexologist). Your therapist will recommend that the medical doctor run a hormonal profile along with a physical exam to rule out any other problems, such as medical disease or medications that could be affecting your libido or sexual desire.

In today’s society relationship issues including, sexual anxieties, inhibitions, and problems are the norm. We’re afraid of not doing it “right”, like in movies and books. “Right” would be intercourse, with both parties craving each other all the time and having simultaneous orgasms every time they’re intimate. In other words, “being all over each other 24 hours a day. Wrong! Healthy sexuality means giving and receiving touching that is pleasurable. Sexuality and intimacy may include 1001 different modes of showing love and affection for one another. There is no one “right way” of making love. The optimal experience would be that of being together, with no “editing” of the respective partner. In other words, take your time, experiment, kiss, touch, and take time to build up the level of excitement with one another. If there is always an ultimate goal of an absolute outcome…surely one of you is likely to be disappointed.

Gratifying lovemaking is not goal oriented, but process oriented. (The journey, not the destination.) It allows both partners to enjoy pleasure. It varies. Sometimes one or both has an orgasm. Sometimes this doesn’t happen and that is okay as well. What’s not ok is not caring about yours or your partner’s needs. There are many possible reasons for a discrepancy in desire between partners. The first is biological. As I mentioned in the statistics above, more than twice as many women than men have problems with sexual desire. This is because in the post-infatuation phase of a relationship, when hormones are running rampant, things settle down to natural biological rhythms. And biologically speaking, whoever has the most testosterone usually has the most desire. And that, of course is the man.

Other reasons relevant to both genders are performance anxiety, emotional pain in the relationship, coerced intimacy, sex used as a bartering tool, lack of time, lack of energy, and fear of intimacy to name a few. These can be helped with an understanding therapist. What you can do: see a relationship expert or sex therapist that can help you experience the pleasure and joy of being intimate with one’s mate. There is no need to settle for less than this.

How To Get My Ex Girlfriend Back – Errors to avoid

by Ricardo Daryans

Are you trying to get your ex girlfriend back but she is not responding your messages? Maybe you did something that you should not have done. Don’t worry, you are not alone and there’s help.

The first steps to get your ex back are laid here. This is what you shouldn’t do and lay the path for a reconciliation. If you are doing these, stop right now and keep reading.

So, how to get my ex girlfriend back without doing the wrong things? There are many things that you should avoid doing. We will just look at three of them here.

1) Don’t argue A lot of times, people will try to argue or beg with their girlfriend about the break up. It seems the logical thing to do anyway, isn’t it? Unfortunately, the most logical thing is usually not the most correct thing to do.

In this situation, being logical and arguing with your girlfriend is going to make the situation worse. This will only drive your girlfriend further away and make it more difficult to get your ex girlfriend back. What is most unfortunate is that we all know that love is one of the most important aspects of our life. Yet, we are not taught about this subject in schools.

2) Spying You probably will want to spy on her to try to find out what happened. Maybe you worry she is seeing somebody else and want to catch her. Maybe you think she is secretly missing you and goes to all your favorite spots. Well, let me tell you, what is going to happen is that if she finds out you are spying on her, you will look like a fool.

3) Venting your anger on others. Most probably you feel angry about your break up. But venting it on other will not help you, specially your girlfriend. Don’t try to do it with your friends either, you don’t want to drive them away too. Also, news can spread very fast, and you don’t want your girlfiend to know that you are angry, but that you are cool. You have to learn to control yourself if you want that girl back.

If you avoid these things, you can start to lay the plan to get your ex back for real. Remember that this is a ongoing process and this is just the beginning.
