Being That Way
The way you see yourself has a powerful impact on what you make of yourself. And you are free to see yourself in any way you choose.
What you sincerely think of yourself influences what you do with your life. The way you spend your time, and your actions, your commitments and priorities all flow from your image of yourself.
It really doesn’t matter if the image is realistic or not. Because you have the power to shape your own reality so that it agrees with the image.
What does matter is that your self-image be authentic. When you consistently see yourself as who you really, truly desire to be, that’s who you become.
Your wishes alone will not make anything happen. And yet, when you persistently see yourself as you wish to be, you will guide your own actions to move your life in that very direction.
Choose a positive, meaningful, compelling and authentic vision of the way you would like to be. And then find great joy and fulfillment in really, truly being that way.

4 Reasons Why Women Date Jerks
Single women often say they want a good man although very few believe they can find one. Those who don’t have a good man usually insist that they do while many more women reject a truly good guy without a thought. It is not that women deliberately look for jerks, but rather, they're attracted to certain behaviors that satisfy their genetically programmed mating instincts. Here are 4 reasons why women keep kicking nice guys to the curb and welcoming in the jerks.
1. They have daddy issues
Although a lot of women who come from stable families date jerks, the most common reason a woman becomes addicted to and stays in an abusive relationship is because of the absence of her father from a very young age. Usually, this emotional void leads women to get involved with liars, mooches, criminals, drug addicts and cheaters to fulfill this void. And when they find men like this, they become so attached that they'll just take any abuse thrown at them.
2. Nice guys are boring to them
Nice guys are often seen as a pushover who can't say no to anyone and allows himself get walked on. Because the nice guy doesn't practice being a challenge and says yes all the time, women don't trust or respect them, become bored and eventually turn to the dominant, untamable jerk who can make them feel excited -- not bored.
3. Jerks are mysterious and spontaneous
Nice guys feel that the only way to impress a woman is by telling her everything about themselves within the first few dates. Some men even go as far as telling their whole life story within the initial ten minutes of their first date, scaring women away in the process. Jerks who are not accountable for their actions, their words or their time reveal only the essential information needed in order to keep a woman's interest level high, keeping women flocking to them in swarms.
4. They're emotionally immature
Emotionally immature women simply don't appreciate good men. Emotional suffering and drama are a lifestyle to them and they tend to attract and be attracted to jerks and remain in relationships that are destined to fail. Bad relationships, pain and disappointment is usually all they have known when dealing with the opposite sex and someone, at some point in their lives has imbedded the thought that this is all they deserve. These women with emotional baggage are more likely to act abusive, manipulative, and neglectful themselves the few times they are in good relationships with nice men.

5 Things Women Can Find Creepy
In the early stages of a relationship, it's surprisingly easy to give out a creepy vibe to women without even noticing. What can be perceived as regular behavior for anyone with whom you have an established relationship can range from obnoxious to downright frightening when displayed to a new woman you barely know. Here's a list of 5 behaviors that might trip the creep-meter for women who are just getting to know you.
1. Being unable to read her signs
You see an attractive woman across the room, so you try to catch her eye. You walk past her. You look at her. You even sit next to her and try to make eye contact. No luck. Your next move should be to take the hint that she noticed you and isn't interested. A man who refuses to accept this and continues engaging in a staring contest with a disinterested woman will make himself appear as as a potential stalker.
2. Aggressively trying to contact her
Many men seem to believe that they can prove their interest in a woman by chasing her down-- calling, texting, emailing, and following up on each unanswered message with more. While it's understandable that you want to get to know her better and you have many reasons for getting in touch with her, this behavior will only make you appear as a desperate man who is socially inept, insecure, and impatient. It's probably best if you initiate contact no more than two times without any initiative on her part to return the gesture.
3. Dropping by unexpectedly
If a woman tells you what time she gets off work or class, that is one thing, but paying attention to and noting her schedule without her being aware of it will only scare her off. No one wants to feel like they’re being watched like a hawk. A woman you've just met won't think it's very cute when you are always waiting for her at the same time outside her work or dropping off surprises on her doorstep. She will quickly realize how closely you pay attention to where she is and what she's doing, and will determine that you are a weirdo.
4. Mentioning sex at any point during the initial conversations
Most single women who've been dating for awhile want to filter out guys who are only after sex, so if you mention anything overtly sexual in your first few text messages, phone calls, or dates, you're going to be seen as a "typical" guy who is only fixated on sex and creep her out.
5. Invading her personal space
There's something about a guy assuming that he can move in close that women find so unappealing and creepy. It's probably not a good idea to move into a new woman's personal space until you understand her body language and get some signs that she is interested in that.....

"Be Appreciative"
Life brings you great and wonderful gifts each day. Be aware, be appreciative, and be willing to make the best use of every one.
Often, the most valuable of life’s gifts don’t look very appealing when you first encounter them. They appear as demanding problems and complicated challenges.
Be appreciative anyway, and soon you’ll begin to see the positive value that’s hidden in those difficulties. Be appreciative, and you’ll discover ways to make meaningful use of that value.
What you have may not seem like much, yet within what you already have is your connection to all you could ever desire. Truly appreciate what you already have, what you already know, what you already can do, and you’ll activate that connection to limitless abundance.
Be appreciative of the truth, even when it is painful. Be appreciative of each moment, of each circumstance, of each encounter, for everything can add richness to your life when you allow it.
Be appreciative of whatever may come. And you’ll see your own unique way to make it great.

"There Is Goodness"
There is goodness in this moment. Accept it, embrace it and enlarge it.
There is undisturbed peace deep within you. Feel it, express it, and put its powerful, profound energy to use.
There is a purpose to your life in this moment, on this day. Connect your awareness to that authentic purpose and bring it to life with your actions.
The beauty of being is in you and all around you. See that beauty in everything you encounter and let it bring you joy.
There are positive and meaningful possibilities in every situation. Enrich your life and your world by working to fulfill and expand those possibilities.
There is great wonder and magnificence in all that is. Live the wonder, and be more lovingly magnificent with each passing moment.

"Follow Your Why"
If you see it as something you merely should do, you’ll resent it. Yet when you know it is something you must do, you’ll find a way to get it done.
If you feel that the task has been imposed on you by some outside influence, you’ll find ways to avoid it. Yet when you understand how the task is connected to your true purpose, you’ll find a way to get it done as quickly and effectively as possible.
Knowing why is not merely an interesting bit of information. It is everything.
If you don’t know why, you’re wasting your precious time. When you are clear about why, when what you’re doing truly matters, you’re on the path to creating the best life you can imagine.
If you’re complaining and resisting, delaying and making excuses, you’re not following your why. You can be infinitely more enthusiastic and effective simply by connecting your actions to your purpose.
Choose to intentionally and persistently follow your why. And truly fulfill the unique, magnificent possibility that is your life.

"Your Own Very Best"
The way to know how is to know why. The best way for you to do something is the way you devise, based on your own particular purpose and your own particular set of resources.
Certainly there are very specific methods and techniques that you can learn from others, and that will help you greatly. However, to achieve the result you envision, you must be the person to design and manage the process.
Others can help you with the tactics. It’s your job to devise and carry out the strategy.
How do you achieve your dream when there are so many obstacles in your path? By taking responsibility for answering that question, you take true ownership of the dream.
Others can inspire you, encourage you, instruct you and advise you. However, it’s your dream, and it’s your immensely satisfying and fulfilling job to find a way of bringing it to life.
Feel the authentic desire, know you can, and you will find your own very best way. Follow your heart, and you won’t have to follow anyone else’s instructions.......

"Small Achievements"
Small achievements pave the way for big achievements. Because when you know you’ve done it before, you’re confident you can do it again and again.
Small achievements, focused in a consistent direction, are what the big achievements are made of. And every moment is an opportunity for a small achievement.
You can’t create a great fortune in one day. Yet you can make significant positive progress toward building that fortune, each and every day.
Add value to every moment, and that value will add up. Whatever your desire, whatever your dream, there are always steps you can take right here and now.
When you take those steps, you are fulfilling the desire. When you make those small achievements, you are living the dream.
Fill your moments with small achievements. And you’ll fill your life with great and lasting value.

"Willing"
It takes action to achieve, and it takes willingness to act. Be willing.
Many outside factors will push against you, and yet you can get beyond them all. But only when you’re truly willing.
What makes you act, is your choice to act. Be willing, and make that choice.
You can do, you can create, you can experience, you can become whatever you choose. Be willing, and choose to live the life that fulfills your greatest possibilities.
The challenges, problems and obstacles all pale in comparison to the strength of your will. Be willing, and exercise that strength to benefit yourself and all the world.
You can do it if you will do it. Be willing, and bring your highest vision to life.

Don't Worry
Don’t worry about what you must do. Just get going and get it done.
Don’t worry that there’s not enough time. Just make full, purposeful and effective use of the time you have.
Don’t worry that there’s not enough money. Focus instead on the ever-present opportunities to create value.
Don’t worry about what others might say or think or do. Use your time, energy and resources in accordance with your own highest vision.
Don’t worry about what has already happened or what might occur in the future. Now is the moment in which you can act, and now is where your awareness belongs.
This is your beautiful, precious and amazing life, so don’t contaminate any of it with useless worry. Instead, live it fully, richly, peacefully and confidently as each wondrous day unfolds.

"Out Of Your Rut"
You don’t have to continue doing things the way you’ve always done them. Today is a new day, filled with new possibilities, so remember to treat it as such.
You don’t have to be held prisoner by your old, familiar habits and assumptions. There’s a whole world of goodness and abundance beyond what you already know, so get out there and experience some of it.
Does it seem like you’ve run out of energy and enthusiasm? Maybe you’re just tired of the same old things.
Does it feel like you’re stuck? If you’re just living on autopilot, then you are indeed stuck.
Take the helm of your life and steer it in some new, exciting, fulfilling and energizing directions. Discover again and again how adaptable and interesting and joyful you can be.
The world is a never-ending source of beauty and wonder. Climb up out of your self-imposed rut and live the richness

Let yourself enjoy yourself, your life, your world and all the people in it. Enjoy, and the awesome power of gratitude comes easily and naturally.
Reality is what it is, and yet you can always choose how to respond to it. Respond more and more with enthusiastic enjoyment, and watch that reality steadily improve.

The Ups & The Downs
You won’t ever really feel good if feeling good is the only thing you seek. A life with only the ups and no downs is not only impossible, it is undesirable.
You won’t achieve anything of value unless you’re willing to work your way through some difficult and demanding challenges. Value is built through effort, and there is no way around that.
To become skilled, you must practice, and to learn, you must study. There are always new techniques that can make you more effective, yet there are no shortcuts when it comes to true achievement.
The pains, the disappointments, the frustrations and the trepidations hurt. Because they feel so bad, you have the opportunity to authentically feel good by working your way beyond them.
Life is necessarily difficult, and that’s what makes it possible for life to be so good. For it is in dealing with the difficulties that the power of life’s goodness is fully experienced.
Live life fully, enjoying the good times and growing stronger by working through the difficult times. Savor the richness that is to be found in it all.

Be Appreciative!!
Life brings you great and wonderful gifts each day. Be aware, be appreciative, and be willing to make the best use of every one.
Often, the most valuable of life’s gifts don’t look very appealing when you first encounter them. They appear as demanding problems and complicated challenges.
Be appreciative anyway, and soon you’ll begin to see the positive value that’s hidden in those difficulties. Be appreciative, and you’ll discover ways to make meaningful use of that value.
What you have may not seem like much, yet within what you already have is your connection to all you could ever desire. Truly appreciate what you already have, what you already know, what you already can do, and you’ll activate that connection to limitless abundance.
Be appreciative of the truth, even when it is painful. Be appreciative of each moment, of each circumstance, of each encounter, for everything can add richness to your life when you allow it.
Be appreciative of whatever may come. And you’ll see your own unique way to make it great.

"Enjoy More...."
The more you enjoy, the more you accomplish. Truly enjoy every moment, and you create a positive momentum that is unstoppable.
It is not success that brings happiness. It is happiness that brings success.
Enjoy life, however it may be, and you open yourself to the very best possibilities. The more sincerely thankful you are for what you have, the more value there is in it.
Let yourself enjoy yourself, your life, your world and all the people in it. Enjoy, and the awesome power of gratitude comes easily and naturally.
Reality is what it is, and yet you can always choose how to respond to it. Respond more and more with enthusiastic enjoyment, and watch that reality steadily improve.
Life is yours and it is beautiful on this day, in this place. Enjoy, and make it even better.

"Performing The Magic"
Every step you take on the journey gets you that much closer to your destination. Every purposeful effort you make brings you closer and closer to your goal.
When you are taking intentional, directed action, you are making progress. You are creating the very rewards you seek.
When you become weary, take a moment to remind yourself why you’ve chosen to go where you’ve chosen to go. When you feel a tinge of discouragement, overwhelm it with positive anticipation for the good and valuable place where you’re headed.
Not only can you do it, you are doing it. You are performing the magic of transforming dreams into reality.
What you’re doing is difficult and burdensome in some ways. And yet it is also truly amazing, because you’re creating value that never existed before.
Continue the effort, continue to persist, and continue performing the magic. And delight in the outstanding rewards it brings

"Bring Fulfillment"
Beyond where you are is the beautiful place where you want to be. Push, push, push yourself there.
Beyond where you are comfortable is where you will be fulfilled. Step bravely away from what you know and toward your true desire.
You are just like everyone else until you prove otherwise. Make the commitment to prove otherwise.
Make this the day you stop running and hiding from what you know you must do. Make this the moment you choose to do the difficult work that will bring fulfillment to your life and your world.
Find true delight in the challenges. Find real, sweet satisfaction in the discipline of your own achievements.
Do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to act on your authentic vision. And make your life mean something that means something to you.....

Summer Plans for Two
Thinking about going on a date is always exciting, but making sure the date itself is fantastic enough that she/he will want to do it again takes some planning.
Sure, there are the old stand-by's: going to a movie or a restaurant, and drinks afterwards is a safe idea, but what if you already had that date and you are looking for something that offers a little more fun. After all, the more fun the date is, the more you will bond, and the more likely another date will happen.
Here is a list of 3 things to do that will get you talking, smiling, and maybe even ... . Well, I'll leave that up to your imagination. Just make sure you keep it grown and sexy. And have Fun!!
1. Take a hike. Every city has some hiking trails within driving distance. Do a little research, find out where some interesting trails are and start walking.
Jazz it up with a picnic lunch or snack, including some wine or a bit of bubbly champagne to make it lavish. Some other items you may want: gourmet sandwiches and salads from the local specialty deli; and homemade chocolates from your favorite dessert place. Choose food that you rarely get to eat to make it a real taste adventure. Be creative. Pack it all in a backback so you will still be able to hold your date's hand.
Be prepared for all kinds of weather. A picnic in the rain could be romantic if you have a raincoat, rain boots, and a waterproof blanket to sit on. Even if you live where it's snowing, this date can really be special. Just make sure you pack a couple of blankets to sit on and cover your legs with as you eat. (Maybe even trade the champagne for hot chocolate laced with Bailey's Irish Cream. Yum.)
2. Participate in an interesting class together. Taking a scuba diving class, a snowboard, tennis or a horseback riding lesson. Sure, it takes a bit of courage to show your true, sometimes inexperienced self to a new love-interest, but if you pick something he/she has never done before either, you will both be in the same boat.
The trade-off for some mutual embarrassment: a real bonding experience. When you both attempt something you both have never done before you feel like a team while you are doing it. After the class, you will have something in common to talk about, which will keep that team spirit going.
3. Go on a balloon ride. The thrill is guaranteed to make you both smile and bond together in an exhilarating experience. This type of bonding, over a thrilling event, will make both of you feel closer to one another. This date also builds that team spirit. You will both have something to talk about for days afterwards.

Summer Date Ideas
1. Go for a picnic. There is nothing as playful and romantic as a picnic. Pack a soft, colorful blanket and delicious foods. Make the foods fun. Grapes, strawberries, and cherries are all great foods to seductively feed one another. You don't have to make the rest of the food complicated, either: pick up savory salads and sweet, tempting desserts at your local deli.
2. Go for a swim. It's the best thing to do on a hot summer day. Plus, it's a great way to show off those great abs or sexy body you have been working on for the past few months. (Not sure your body is perfect? Don't sweat it! Neither is 98% of the population's. But if you want a little boost to get those last few pounds off, read this.) Swimming is one sensuous activity that really gets the electricity flowing, especially when you go in for a spontaneous, leg-wrapping hug. Yum.
3. Have a sunset date. Pick a spot that will really show off the sunset in your area. Hills, mountains, or open parks and fields are great places. Take 2 blankets. One to sit on, one to wrap around you when the air starts to cool off. Have a bottle of chilled champagne or bubbly white grape juice ready (but don't drink and drive -- plan to cab it home) and decadent dark chocolates. Bring a deck of cards, play truth or dare, or even strip poker if you are devilish enough (if it's legal in your state). When the sun starts turning red, make a toast to its beauty, and a great date.
4. Create a scent date. Play find the scent. (Warning: to be done only in the privacy of your own home.) This is a More Intimate & Sexy, more ingenious version of strip poker. Spray your favorite Sexual perfume or cologne in various, secret spots on your body. Let him (or her) softly trail his (her) nose around your body, starting wherever you desire. See who reveals the most places correctly (if you get that far of course). Keep It Grown & Sexy!!

"Be Prepared"
Fear will keep you alive, and yet it can also kill your dreams. Fear of the unknown will build a wall between you and your best possibilities.
Fear’s most insistent message is -- be prepared. Be fully prepared, and fear will no longer hold you back.
Preparation takes effort and initiative, discipline and commitment. And it is well worth the effort, because it opens up a whole world of new options for you.
Your fear gives you a perfect excuse to avoid reaching for your most treasured dream. But wouldn’t you rather have the dream than the excuse?
What is it that you fear? There is something you can do today, right now, to prepare -- something that will begin to dilute that fear.
Do the work to prepare yourself, to give yourself options, and the fear will lose its grip on you. Make the effort to be prepared, and move beyond every fear.
"Allow The Possibilities"
Every day is a good day. What can you do today to prove it?
Every situation is an opportunity. See the ways to make the most of it.
Don’t struggle against the pains. Instead, allow the possibilities.
Allow your best possibilities to take root and flower. In this moment right now is rich, fertile ground.
The more you complain, the more reason you have to complain. The more you take positive action, the more fully you can shape your whole world into a beautiful and fulfilling place.
Reach in and feel the faith you have in the best you can imagine. Today is a great day to bring it to life.......

Reach in and feel the faith you have in the best you can imagine. Today is a great day to bring it to life.......
"Take A Step Forward With Action"
"You Have To Constantly & Consistantly Take A Step Forward With Action...."
Start now, not tomorrow or early next week or when you have the time. Now is when your time is, so use it now.
Sure, it’s important to plan and to prepare. What’s essential, though, is to put your intentions into action.
Even if you’re not fully prepared, there’s something you can do right now. Even if you’re unable to get it all done, you can get moving right away in a productive direction.
Action accomplishes more than just the immediate results it creates. Taking action seals your commitment and puts you in a state of solid, indisputable effectiveness.
Action lets you see and know, without the slightest doubt, how capable you can be. Though it’s great to tell yourself you can do it, action goes several steps beyond that and shows you that you can do it.
Your dreams and goals and best intentions begin to be truly yours only when you act on them. So stop just thinking about it or wishing for it, and step forward right now with real, solid action......
Be The Absolute best you that You can be.... Be Positve, Be Creative, Be Unique, Be Evasive, Be Constant, Be Persistant, and Make A Difference!!
Make Your Greatness Real
"You Have To Commit To Making Your Greatness Become Real..."
You have immense greatness within you. Yet you have to be the person who lives, fulfills, expresses and manifests that greatness.
It’s something no one else can do for you. The special, unique greatness within you is of no use or significance without your active, committed participation in it.
The things you possess won’t express that greatness. The mere poses you assume won’t bring that greatness to life.
The only way to truly fulfill your own special greatness is by putting your time, your focus, your resources and dedication into living that greatness. For it is only through your day-to-day commitment that the special beauty within you flows outward.
It’s much easier to hide the beauty away, and to never let it fully develop. But what a shame that would be, and what a terrible regret it would create.
Life is longing for your greatness, and, deep inside, you are longing to bring it to life. Make the commitment, do the work to make that greatness real, and use your days to fulfill your own beautiful destiny.

"Your Time To Choose"
It Is Your Time To Choose.
You can always live the life you choose. Because you can always choose, in each and every moment, how to be.
Sure, life in this world sends all sorts of seemingly random and often disturbing occurrences your way. Yet the choice of how to think and feel about them, and what to do with them, is yours.
It is through the use of that choice that your life is fashioned. From the perspective you select comes the world you experience, in this hour, this month, this decade, this lifetime.
Whatever comes, will come and go. What you choose to do with it, is what makes your life the way it is.
It is never too late, and you are never too far off track to live the way you wish to live. For in this very next moment, no matter what it may contain, you can choose how, and why, to proceed.
You never have to resign yourself to less than the best..... But, now is always your time to choose......

"Let YourSelf Be You"
It’s difficult to truly and honestly be who you are. It is so difficult, in fact, that many people don’t make the attempt.
And yet, it is even more difficult to continue, day after day, year after year, to deny the beautiful, unique reality of who you are. Though it is hard and demanding work to be you, it is the most satisfying and fulfilling thing you can do with your time.
For it is by being true to your purpose that you fill your world and your experience with exquisite richness. The real, true you is who can offer the very most value, comfort, encouragement and joy to others, to the world, and to all of life.
Living each moment and each situation with uncompromising authenticity is a difficult, inconvenient and often embarrassing choice. Even so, it is far and away the best choice you can make, not only for yourself but also for everything else you care about.
There is great and unique beauty within you. That beauty longs to, and absolutely deserves to see the light of day.
So let go of the pretenses, and the fears and apprehensions, and let yourself be you. Bring life’s goodness more fully into being, in your own delightful way..... You just have to let yourself be you!! Be You!!

"Keep Growing"
You’ve done a great deal, and you’re capable of doing a great deal more. You’re capable and effective, and capable of becoming even more effective.
With each new day, you have a new opportunity to live up to your potential. Through focused, purposeful action, you can raise your standards and then exceed those standards.
Making use of what you’ve already achieved, you can achieve even more. With your wisdom and experience, you can gain ever more valuable wisdom and experience.
No matter how far you’ve come, there is always another adventure to be lived. There’s always a new and fulfilling way to make a difference.
To live is to grow, in strength, in wisdom, in experience and accomplishment. To grow is to live, in the richest and most genuinely satisfying way.
You’ve come a long way, so by all means keep going and growing. What’s so great about life is that you can make it greater.

"True Wealth"
Everything has a cost. And that is good, because it enables everything to have value.
You get what you pay for. And that is good, because everyone wins when value can be traded equitably.
If you’re not willing to pay the price, it is not possible for you to benefit from the value. What you get with no effort or payment on your part, is not worth having.
It is your participation in the creation of value that makes it valuable and meaningful to you. It is a waste of your precious life to expect something for nothing.
It is the earning, not the possession, that brings fulfillment. It is what you contribute that determines your true wealth.
The authentic and immensely satisfying wealth of life is always available to you. All you have to do, is earn it

Move Ahead With No Regrets
Excuses are easy, and consequently they are worthless. Real, focused, sustained work is difficult and challenging, and can achieve magnificent results.
What is easy and carefree in the short term becomes painfully, desperately difficult in the long run. Because when you waste today with excuses, you fill tomorrow with regret.
Work can be tedious, frustrating, inconvenient and draining, and yet you absolutely can get it done. Regret, on the other hand, is impossible to escape once you’ve created it.
So without question, it is far better to use your time to create value rather than regret. Instead of taking the seemingly easy way out, take the truly best way forward.
This hour, this day, this week, you are depositing the fruits of your efforts into the lasting experience of your life. Be sure to fill those deposits with meaningful, positive value rather than with painful regret.
You have the opportunity right now to make an effort that will make a difference. Make the effort, do the work, create real value with your time, and move ahead with no regrets.

What is easy and carefree in the short term becomes painfully, desperately difficult in the long run. Because when you waste today with excuses, you fill tomorrow with regret.
Work can be tedious, frustrating, inconvenient and draining, and yet you absolutely can get it done. Regret, on the other hand, is impossible to escape once you’ve created it.
So without question, it is far better to use your time to create value rather than regret. Instead of taking the seemingly easy way out, take the truly best way forward.

Being A Challenge To Women
While most women will admit that they like a man who is a challenge, most guys will ignore this and make mistakes that run women off, i.e., bombarding her with phone calls and text messages, making themselves too available, being overly nice and agreeable ( a wuss) and expressing their feelings early on.
When a man is too available and says yes all the time, there is a good chance a woman won’t like it and see it as a sign of weakness or lack of confidence. If a woman thinks she has you figured out and can get you too easily, she will get bored. By learning to keep mystery in your dating, you'll create a challenge for women and really engage their mind's and emotions.
Creating a challenge for a woman means making yourself important in her eyes by not being too accessible and keeping her waiting--but not too long, or someone else might beat you to her! Feed her a little bit, but keep her curiosity growing and her interest in you will do the same. By doing that you will always keep a woman guessing which is good, because you will always be on her mind.
Have you ever heard the expression about absence making the heart grow fonder? Well, it's true. You have to give her a chance to miss you, and the anticipation alone of meeting you again will make the next meeting between the two of you that much more exciting.
So let her wonder where you are, whom you're with and where you're going, and she will hope to cross paths with you more often than you think. Remember the laws of attraction. Women don't feel attraction for men that are predictable--they feel attraction for men who are a challenge.

Why Women Want What's Off Limits
Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to get women to give you the time of day when you're single, but once you're in a great relationship with a good woman, you suddenly get an abnormally high number of compliments, giggles and increased attention from attractive women?
It's no secret that single women are drawn to a man in a relationship. It’s fascinating, but also very frustrating and unfair for the newly tied-down man. After hearing the countless tired pick-up lines and being played too many times by all the wrong, commitment phobic single men, many women see taken men as being "safe" and having desirable qualities, namely, being successful, intelligent and charming. Women love a challenge--and since taken men are tougher to get, luring you away from your good relationship gives them bragging rights.
Because an attached man has demonstrated his ability to commit, in some ways his qualities have already been ‘pre-screened' by other women. The simple fact that you make the woman on your arm happy attracts the buzz of many other women and makes them all want to steal you away from her.
Another reason why some women can't just let a taken man go is because just like a lot of men, many women crave sex. As a result, when some women meet a man that they have an undeniable sexual attraction to, they rush forward and pounce without thinking about the repercussions. Remember, women want what other women have, and the more out of reach you are, the more appealing you are to them.
Although it may seem that your success with one woman has made you successful with all women, if you're lucky enough to find a good woman who wants to be by your side, ruining a good relationship and throwing it all away for one night of pleasure with a woman who showed no interest when you were still on the market isn't very smart.
10 Things Women Hate About Men
When you ask women about the things they hate about men, the list will practically be endless. While the things that women hate about men is a combination of big and small things, this article will describe the top 10 things women find most annoying about the men in their lives:
1. Having a foul mouth
While it’s true that most women don't mind a swear word here and there when you get upset, they don't like men who think that swearing is the only way they can express themselves.
2. Being overly-dominant
Most women want men who will protect them and make them feel safe--but they don't want a dictator who tells them where to go, when to leave, who to talk to or what to wear. Dating a guy with a controlling nature can be pretty scary for women and will cause them to run from you very quickly.
3. Their inability to commit
It's important for men to understand that when things begin to get serious, women tend to expect the two of you to become exclusive. Women hate being treated like a revolving door and being subjected to mind games, inconsistency and drama from a commitment phobic.
4. Not being romantic
Women want true romance along with the feeling of being emotionally connected to their men. Your girlfriend will easily become dissatisfied and will not even want to be touched by you once she senses that you only come around her for sex.
5. Not keeping themselves up
Although looks are not everything, women are not generally attracted to men with inadequate grooming, to include smelling bad, having bad breath, unkempt fingernails and wearing wrinkled clothing. Furthermore, not keeping yourself in shape shows women that you have little respect yourself and that you have no discipline, no motivation and no ambition.
6. Being predictable
Women absolutely hate predictable guys that never wan to do anything differently. They are attracted to spontaneous men who are unpredictable, untamed and successful with other women.
7. Putting their friends first
If you enjoy hanging out with the guys way more than you enjoy hanging out with your girlfriend and she can’t get you to stay home for some one-on-one time, there’s obviously something wrong.
8. Constantly arguing
Women hate dealing with guys that turn every conversation into an argument and constantly make them feel defensive and self-conscious.
9. Checking out other women in front of them
While it's completely normal for guys to glance at other women (not excessively, but certainly now & then), it becomes a problem when a guy actually stares at other women and forgets that his girlfriend is actually standing right next him!
10. Being needy
Confidence and independence are very sexy traits in a man -- insecurity and dependence are not. Women don't want to deal with men who doubt themselves and need constant reassurance about their relationships, work and friendships.

4 Signs Of A Controlling Woman
Does your girlfriend control conversations, attempt to prove you wrong and constantly rewrite past events to make her point? Does she force you into agreeing with her and threaten to leave you if you don't do as she says? Do you constantly find yourself on the defensive, having to explain all your actions and words? Does she break down your self-confidence little by little until you begin to believe you're nothing without her? If so, you might be dating a controlling woman.
These over-dominant women believe that men and relationships should run no way but their way and will even convince their men that it's for their own good. If your girlfriend exhibits any of these 4 tell-tale signs below, you may very well be in the hands of an overbearing, emotional bully and unless you like having your life steered for you and your opinions made by someone else, it might be time to reconsider the relationship.
1. She makes your decisions for you
Controlling women will define you by telling you what you think and feel. They'll tell you when you can go out and when you can invite the guys over to watch the game. These manipulative women believe that they should be able to make every decision in your life and will explode into long tirades when you do not behave in line with their plans. They believe that they know what's best for their men and will even go as far as selecting the clothes you wear, choosing what movies you'll watch and deciding what you should or shouldn't eat.
2. She always has to be right
Controlling women must be right at all times. These women are never wrong, and everything is always your fault. They constantly use lines such as "I didn’t do that," "I didn’t say that," "I don't know what you’re talking about," and "It wasn’t that bad." These women control men by shaming them for their thoughts, actions and every time they voice an opinion. They never try to understand your views and will constantly threaten to abandon you, end the relationship or give you the cold shoulder if you don’t play by their rules.
3. She tells you how to spend your money
A controlling woman will tell you that you're spending way too much money on things you enjoy, like drinks and eats with your pals, and suggests you save up for more important things, like her new wardrobe. Before you know it, she'll eventually become in complete control of your credit cards and your pay check.
4. She keeps constant tabs on you
A controlling woman will call you 10-15 times per day to keep track on what you're doing, who you're with and where you're going next with each call. She also expects you to call her multiple times a day and demands to be by your side as often as possible.

4 Things That Men Worry About
One myth in our culture is “real men don’t succumb to worry or stress." All we can say is... FALSE.....
One of the fabrications in our culture that has always driven me bonkers is the myth that "real" men don't succumb to worry or stress. It's the idea that guys are somehow genetically engineered to shake off the rigors of everyday life-- that no guy should crack under pressure, fear or insecurity.
Never let 'em see you sweat.
We guys wish it were that easy. From an intellectual perspective, we all agree that this belief is silly. Unfortunately, the gut reaction to actually witnessing a man's will being broken is generally something less than empathetic. So once and for all, men DO have their own insecurities - just as many as women - and I've listed below a few of the most common concerns that men feel.
What Men Worry About? There are things that will be enough to make a Man begin to worry. I am gonna break down a few of them the best that I can......
Making enough money. This one has mass awareness. But the depth of the anguish men feel when confronted with the possibility of not being an adequate bread-winner can be unimaginable. We've all heard the stories about what many have resorted to when money problems become overwhelming. And yet most peoples' reaction are less-than-understanding, "It couldn't have been that bad." Apparently it was.
Related: Would You Date a Guy Who is Broke? A Guy can often worry about wether or not he is financially stable enough to keep up or to be able to meet your demands or expectations.....
Age. You think men age gracefully. We don't. Actually, for all the jokes and mythology about women getting older i.e., never asking them their age, facelifts, mom jeans, soccer mom hair, etc., women actually seem to handle the transition overall a bit better than men. And of course, they seem to embrace their sexuality as the years tick by. For men, mid-life crisis is no joke! Men can feel frantic--trying to locate that lost hair-line, chasing the younger women, experiencing a dwindling sex-drive and becoming physically vulnerable to younger, stronger guys.
Body Image. Seems shallow. And of course it is. But this is America…we're ALL about shallowness! Sure the typical belief is that because of a bombardment of media images and our society's focus on physical beauty in women, that guys are immune to the insecurities that accompany a negative body image. WRONG. We hide it, but we're just as wrapped up in looking great in beachwear. And it's not just the ladies who are checking out the competition on the beach and at parties. Guys do it, too.
Intelligence. The only thing guys respect more than money is intelligence. More to the point, a man would rather be poor as dirt than to have the perception that he's an idiot engrained in people's mind. The guys who have it the worst? Jocks. Those dudes are fighting a lifelong battle attempting to prove that the sum of their parts is more than how fast they run or high they jump. But of course….some of 'em are actually idiots. But I digress. Intelligence, in spite of the conclusions you may have drawn from reality television, is a highly-valued commodity in our society. Guys want to be highly valued in our society. High value equals respect. Respect equals power. And we love power.......

"Dissapointments of The Past"
What has already happened before is not what will happen next. Because right now, you have the opportunity to change direction.
If you’re moving in a positive and fruitful direction, you can choose to keep going that way, and even to accelerate your progress. Or, if you’ve experienced difficulty and disappointment in the past, this is your time to make a change.
When you focus on what’s already happened, it can be easy to feel permanently stuck in a bad place. So focus instead on the fact that you can, right now, choose a more positive direction.
Today is a new day, and it is your day to live in the best way you can imagine. It is your day to move in precisely the direction you choose.
Though rising above a difficult past will require great effort and commitment on your part, you certainly can do it. And there’s no better way to spend your time than making your way forward and permanently locking your disappointments in the past.
The disappointments of the past will begin to fade away as soon as you let go of them. Let go, look forward, and know that you can make this next day the best one yet........

"Let YourSelf Be You"
It’s difficult to truly and honestly be who you are. It is so difficult, in fact, that many people don’t make the attempt.
And yet, it is even more difficult to continue, day after day, year after year, to deny the beautiful, unique reality of who you are. Though it is hard and demanding work to be you, it is the most satisfying and fulfilling thing you can do with your time.
For it is by being true to your purpose that you fill your world and your experience with exquisite richness. The real, true you is who can offer the very most value, comfort, encouragement and joy to others, to the world, and to all of life.
Living each moment and each situation with uncompromising authenticity is a difficult, inconvenient and often embarrassing choice. Even so, it is far and away the best choice you can make, not only for yourself but also for everything else you care about.
There is great and unique beauty within you. That beauty longs to, and absolutely deserves to see the light of day.
So let go of the pretenses, and the fears and apprehensions, and let yourself be you. Bring life’s goodness more fully into being, in your own delightful way.......

"Welcome Life As It Comes"
What you fight against, fights back. What you’re able to welcome and embrace, you’re able to influence and direct.
When you welcome the day with genuine enthusiasm, you’re already on your way to putting it to valuable use. When you welcome the challenges, you’ve already begun to transform them into achievements.
Welcome the complaints and criticisms, and you’ll discover pivotal avenues for improvement. Welcome the beliefs and opinions of others, and you’ll markedly strengthen and focus your own beliefs.
Welcome life’s beauty, even in the most ordinary things, and that beauty becomes a part of you. Welcome the unexpected surprises, and they’ll lead you to unexpected treasures.
Get in the habit of welcoming what life brings, and you’ll get out of the habit of fearing what might come. Choose to welcome both the ups and the downs, and even the setbacks will eventually lead you forward.
Instead of figuring out ways to run or hide or fight, welcome life as it comes. Welcome life, and you’ll find great richness in what it brings.
