  1. Why Women Are Obsolete

    Well, I’m writing this one in response to the post on Why Men Are Obsolete. From my point of view, it’s women who might soon become obsolete and here’s my reasoning.

    Where's the relationship starting to go wrong?

    As far as I can see, we girls have crawled from under the heels of a dominating male influence that’s been in power for eons. Yes, we’ve been subservient since the dawn of ‘man’. Back in those days, I’d agree it was probably due to the males’ strong and larger, more powerful body and endurance.

    The human race needed to evolve and roles within the the community and family unit dictated survival. Thus led to women needing to be nurturers of children for the welfare as well as the continuity of the human species.

  2. How About a Reality Show That Creates a Better Reality

    The media promotions are billing this as ‘the greatest social experiment of television’.

    I’ve never really been that excited by reality shows, per se, however I happened to see the advertising for ‘Beauty and the Geek’ while Pam and I were watching some current affair show, one evening. I remember making the comment ‘Is it me or have these show producers picked out the ditziest women they could possibly find?’

    And the Actual show was worse

  3. Too Fat to be a Hooters Girl? Hmmm

    I was reading in the newspaper the other day about some serious staffing relationship issues. This article was around discrimination where Hooters have fired women who were overweight. Now obviously these women are suggesting their civil rights were violated and we have here in the United States a law that bans "weight discrimination".

    So I got to wondering, businesses that view their staff as one of their main features, if the staff then fail to live up to expectations, then certainly how could that be called discrimination?

    I've got a friend that works as an assistant manager at Hooters and I've been told overweight ladies work in the back office.

  4. Cosmo needs more of the ‘C’ word

    The things I come across on the Internet ☺

    You know all those ‘women’s magazine’ that give our ladies supposed insights into a man’s mind - they think they're the gurus on sex and relationship advice for women. Ever read any of them? I actually did for 3 months - the housemate I was living with had a girlfriend who used to give me all her Cosmopolitan type of magazines.

    It’s interesting and certainly the same misconceptions apply in ‘Men’s magazines’ as well.

    You know all those self help columns titled 'I need relationship problem advice - please help me'.

    Men and women most definitely have a confused and mixed up notion of how the other gender thinks. Probably the reason there’s such an abundant number of Psychoanalysts, Therapists and Relationship Counselling.

    And what’s at the root of the challenges each gender faces? It’s the ‘C’ word.

  5. Facebook Dating – Is This A Technique Or A Mistake?

    My wife got a random message from a guy she's never met on Facebook and her immediate response to the message was 'What an idiot'. You can see the message below - I've blurred identifying the guy, for the sake of a little privacy.

    Is this Facebook Dating?

    Does this really look like the way you'd like to be contacted, for some potential facebook dating relationship?

    It's an interesting message to read and my analysis of it is that it will certainly gain the guy quite a lot of attention from a number of ladies ... and here's why I think that.

     

  6. Just How Long Does Sex Actually Take?

    I was doing some research the other day into healthy relationship counselling areas and, as I tend to do, I got sidetracked with the question of 'How Long Does Sex Usually Last?'.

    It's one of those age old sex relationship questions that I think we all dwell on, from time to time.

    Porn Studs Are Pretenders

    You always see these porn studs and starlets going at it for what seems like hours, in porn movies. This sort of thing, while interesting to spice up a consenting couples' passion life, has a less than satisfactory outcome of influencing a man's (and perhaps a woman's) idea that their sexual capacity might be wanting.
    It's important to realise that porn movies are a total fantasy world and has little to do with real life.

    Relationship Advice For Men Tip #1 - Understand Them

    Since joining XL Foundation around 5 or 6 years ago, I'm always very alert to the mannerisms and thought processes of other people. XL Foundation has a centre piece based around wealth profiling which is something similar to the Meyers / Briggs personality test, with the added advantage that the Wealth Profile test targets the easiest way to wealth creation.

    After my divorce, I unconsciously used profiling in determining my better 'partner fit' as far as personality goes. I ensured I wasn't fixated around profiling being the one and only factor in dating and I think that's really important to keep in mind.

  8. The Things We Do For Our Ladies :)

    For my first 49 years, I really wasn't all that interested in things relating to sport.

    The Teenage Relationship Advice Part

    I know when my son came along, I knew it was important to introduce him to sporting activities, especially him as a teenager. Team spirit, co-operation and all that. I could barely hit a tennis ball though I did like the game. My Dad loved the game and played it as well. So that was the first sport we introduced Ethan (my son) too. Like all teenage blokes (Australian for 'guys'), he needed regular 'pushing' and encouragement to keep at it. And in the end, he hits a good tennis ball which is the main thing.
