I think women are confused as to what it means to play "hard to get."

Playing "hard to get" should Not mean refusing to have conversations with men and getting to know them as an individual.

It should mean waiting until you know them before you take the step that makes you intimate partners.

So a woman can encourage a man to communicate with her and even become friends and still be "hard to get."

Too many women think "hard to get" means waiting until a man shows up with original charismatic lines (read Swagger) b4 she gives it up.

Sorry ladies, if all a man needs is the right Swagger to get you in his bed, then you are NOT "hard to get."

Three parts to a Man - Mind, Body and Soul

Mind - craves Knowledge. Teach him.

Body - craves Touch. Hold him.

Soul - craves Love. Lead him.

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN - A friend shared this story with me

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received. '

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, ' This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them. ' I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. 'How is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.

'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.'

'How does one acknowledge God's blessings? ' I asked.

'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, ' Thank you, Lord. '

'What blessings should they acknowledge? ' I asked.

'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world 's wealthy.'

'And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity. '

'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.'

'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .. You are ahead of 700 million people in the world. '

'If you can attend a place of worship without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.. '

'If your parents are still alive and still married ..you are very rare. '

'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair. '
Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

One woman went so far as to complain about the gestures men make to inspire her to Love. So much for Romance.

12:51 AM Sep 28th from web

Afterward I was left with the impression that perhaps it had something to do with women's growing Equality.
12:53 AM Sep 28th from web

Interestingly enough, another article came out in regards to feminist women and how very happy they are in general. Hmmm.
12:54 AM Sep 28th from web

So if feminist women are generally very happy, but women in general are less happy then they were decades ago, then what gives?
12:55 AM Sep 28th from web

I'm still thinking it has something to do with the move towards more Equality for women.
12:56 AM Sep 28th from web

I'm thinking that if feminist women are generally very happy and in stable relationships, then the problem must be with non-feminist.
12:58 AM Sep 28th from web

My theory is that the happiness factor is lower among women who do not want to accept Equality and the loss of perks that results.
1:04 AM Sep 28th from web

Too many women are deluding themselves into thinking that by having as much sex as men they are proving themselves the equal of men. smh

This is the statement of a man or woman who is rationalizing their bad behavior. It shows selfishness and a lack of empathy for the feelings of others. Drop the person who issues this dictate.

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1222311

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

I know some marriage vows say "for better of for worse" but I do not believe you should stay in a abusive relationship.
Its one thing to deal with disagreements, to have heated discussions, to forgive some mean words, but people really do not understand that in the real world, a person's "worst" can mean death for their partner. Oh, I can already imagine some of you defending yourselves with, "oh, but my worse would never be that bad." You miss the point. If your going to choose words to live by, make sure you understand the complete implications of those words. Words are powerful. Do not underestimate what a statement like this can do to the mentality of a young person growing up. To teach them that it is reasonable for people to contend with their worst behavior is not a good lesson, yet as I look around, its the one I see being taught. So to make my point clear, you should be presenting yourself best as you can consistently and you should be very careful of how much of another's "worst" you allow in your life because it could cost you your life.

The Myth on Love and Power

Some people are under the confused thought that the person that loves more is the weaker person in a relationship.

That is not true.

Its the person that loves less that is weakest.

What you have to focus on is how well do the individuals love themselves.

The individuals the love themselves will always have power and the amount of love they give their partner gives them more power.

The only time you will find weakness is with the individual that does not love themselves and gives little love to their partner.

The individual that knows how to love the person that they are and knows how to share their love generously will always find someone who will welcome that love.

The person that does not love who they are and shows little love
to others will always be at a disadvantage.

That is the truth of Love and Power


God bless you

Ok, time to start some controversy, maybe. ;)

- So, I read this article by @ScottMcKay the other day. In it he spoke on the issue of men and women and power.

- He said when men chase sex, women have all the power, but when they seek a commitment, men have all the power.

- I think @ScotMcKay is right, and that ...

- women prefer the power dynamics of a man that wants her for her body as opposed to the vulnerability they feel with a man that wants her <3

- In addition, women assume any man that speaks of emotions early on must be a liar.

- So women are more comfortable with a man that professes he wants her body as opposed to one that wants her heart.

- Women today are just not prepared to accept a high level of emotion early on.

- I am now of firm belief that the urban women I meet today would not even consider a relationship until after they have sex.

- In a separate study, @ScottMcKay said most women do not have sex on the first date.

- Most women I have met do not have a problem with sex on the first date, so long as I am is willing to take responsibility for the idea.

- I've disappointed and confused a few women when I did not take them to bed the same night.

- All they wanted was sex and no second date was scheduled.

- I have like sex, but women who need me to give them permission to be the freak they know they are annoy me.

- This is why I prefer having a relationship to dating.

- I think women like to complain about men using them, but women are just as guilty these days.

- I think women today lie to themselves more then men lie to women.

- People should stop wondering why they keep ending up in bad relationships.

- Take responsibility for the standards you are using to choose partners.

- I feel most women think that being submissive to an Alpha male is still the best move.

- I want a woman that is my equal so I will lean towards being Beta and stay single.

- With my last long term relationship, of almost ten years, I waited almost a year.

- Sex should be between lovers, but today its treated like a sport.

- Dating and having sex are not the same thing, though some view it as such.



Your thoughts?

The Man Who Did Not Believe In Love

OK SO IT'S A LONG STORY..BUT BELIEVE ME IT'S WORTH READING (= THIS JUST HAS TO BE MY FAVORITE STORY OF ALL TIME...I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO TELLS YOUNG PEOPLE "IF YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEONE, DON'T MARRY THEM" WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT? HERE'S WHY..

"There was once a man who didn't believe in love. This was an ordinary man just like you and me, but what made this man special was his way of thinking: He thought love doesn't exist. Of course, he had a lot of experience trying to find love, and he observed the people around him. Much of his life had been spent searching for love, only to find that love didn't exist.

Wherever this man went, he would tell people of his thoughts and opinions on love. This man was highly intelligent, and he was very convincing. What he said was the love is just like a drug; it makes you very high, but it creates a strong need. You can become highly addicted to love, but what happens when you don't receive your daily doses of love? Just like a drug, you need your everyday doses.

He used to say that most relationships between lovers are just like a relationship between a drug addict and the one who provides the drugs. The one who has the biggest need is like the drug addict; the one who has a little need is like the provider. The one who has the little need is the one who controls the whole relationship. You can see this dynamic so clearly because usually in every relationship there is one who loves the most and the other who doesn't love as much. You can see the way they manipulate each other, their actions and reactions, and they are just like the provider and the drug addict.

The drug addict, the one who has the biggest need, lives in constant fear that perhaps he will not be able to get the next dosage of love, or the drug. The drug addict thinks, "What am I going to do if she leaves me?" That fear makes the drug addict very possessive. "That's mine!" The addict becomes jealous and demanding, because the fear of not having the next dosage. The provider can control and manipulate the one who needs the drug by giving more doses, fewer doses, or no doses at all. The one who has the biggest need completely surrenders and will whatever he can to avoid being abandoned.

The man went on explain to everyone why love doesn't exist, and how what humans call 'love' is nothing but a fear relationship based ... So many promises are made to each other: to live together forever, to love and respect each other, through the good times and the bad times but after marriage, you can see that none of these promises are kept.

What you find is a war of control to see who will manipulate whom. Who will be the provider? And who will have the addiction. You find that a few months later, the respect that they swear to have for each other is gone. You can see the resentment, the emotional poison, how they hurt each other, little by little, and it grows and grows, until they don't know when the love stops. They stay together because they are afraid to be alone, afraid of the opinions and judgments of others, and also afraid of their judgments and opinions. But where is the love?

The man went on and on about all the reasons why he believed love doesn't exist.

The one day this man was walking in a park, and there on a bench was a beautiful lady who was crying. When he saw her crying, felt curiosity. Sitting beside her, he asked if he could help her. He asked why she was crying. You can imagine his surprise when she told him she was crying because love doesn't exist. "This is amazing--a woman who believes that love doesn't exist!" Of course he wanted to know more about her.

He asked her why she felt that love doesn't exist and she told him about her marriage and how she and her husband had both lost respect for each other. She told him about how they hurt each other, and at a certain point she discovered that she didn't love him and that he didn't love her either. 'But the children need a father, and that was my excuse to stay and to do whatever I could to support him. Now the children are grown up and they have left. I no longer have any excuse to stay with him....There is no sense to look around for something that doesn't exist. That is why I am crying.'

Understand her very well, he embraced her and said, you are right; love doesn't exist. We look for love, we open our heart and we become vulnerable, just to find selfishness. That hurts us even if we don't think we will be hurt. It doesn't matter how many relationships we have; the same thing happens again and again. Why even search for love any longer?"

They were so much alike, and they became the best friends ever. It was a wonderful relationship. They respected each other, and they never put each other down. With every step they took together, they were happy. There was no envy or jealousy, there was no control, and there was no possessiveness. The relationship kept growing and growing. They loved to be together, because when they were together, they had a lot of fun. When they were not together, they missed each other.

One day when the man was out of town, he had the weirdest idea. He was thinking, 'Hmm, maybe what I feel for her is love. But this is so different from what I have ever felt before. It's not what the poets say it is, it's not what religion says it is, because I am not responsible for her. I don't take anything from her; I don't have the need for her to take care of me; I don't need to blame her for my difficulties or to take my dramas to her. We have the best time together; we enjoy each other. I respect the way she thinks, the way she feels. She doesn't embarrass me; she doesn't bother me at all. I don't feel jealous when she's with other people; I don't feel envy when she is successful. Perhaps love does exist, but it's not what everyone thinks love is.'

He could hardly wait to go back home and talk to her, to let her know about his weird idea. As soon as he started talking, she knew exactly what he was talking about. She felt the same way. They decided to become lovers and to live together, and it was amazing that things didn't change. They still respected each other, they were still supportive of each other, and the love grew more and more.

The man's heart was so full with all the love he felt that one night a great miracle happened. He was looking at the stars and he found the most beautiful one, and his love was so big that the star started coming down from the sky and soon that star was in his hands. Then a second miracle happened, and his soul merged with that star. He was intensely happy, and he could hardly wait to go to the woman and put that start in her hands to prove his love for her. As soon as he put the star in her hands, she felt a moment of doubt. This love was overwhelming, and in that moment, the star fell from her hands and broke in a million of little pieces.

Now there is an old man walking around the world swearing that love doesn't exist. And there is a beautiful old woman at home waiting for a man, shedding a tear for a paradise that once she had in her hands, but for one moment of doubt, she let it go. This is the story about the man who didn't believe in love.

Who made the mistake? Do you want to guess what went wrong? The mistake was on the man's part in thinking he could give the woman his happiness. The star was his happiness, and his mistake was to put his happiness in her hands. Happiness never comes from outside of us. He was happy because of the love coming out of him; she was happy because of the love coming out of her. But as soon as he made her responsible for his happiness, she broke the star because she could not be responsible for his happiness.

No matter how much the woman loved him, she could never make him happy because she could never know what he had in his mind. She could never know what his expectations were, because she could not know his dreams.

If you take your happiness, and put it in someone's hands, sooner or later, she is going to break it. If you give your happiness to someone else, she can always take it away. Then if happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love, you are responsible for your own happiness. We can never make anyone responsible for our own happiness, but when we go to the church to get married, the first thing we do is exchange rings. We put our star in each other's hands, expecting that she is going to make you happy, and you are going to make her happy. It doesn't matter how much you love someone, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be.

That is the mistake most of us make right from the beginning. We base our happiness on our partner and it doesn't work that way. We make all those promises that we cannot keep, and we set ourselves up to fail."

Thinking about starting your own web show?
Here some thoughts.

http://epicfu.com/show/2008/12/how-to-make-a-kick-ass-web-sho.html

http://www.geekbrief.tv/podcasting-tips

There are many sites where you can do live shows too.

Justin.tv
Blogtv.com
Stickam.com
Ustream.tv

And nothing beats Twitter.com for helping get the word out on your show.
Oh, and don't forget to send me the link, so I can watch it too.

If you have any additional suggestions for making a great web show, let me know.

I am happily surprised to see this website still has its photos up. It closed for business a minute ago. It was a good concept that just did not get enough love. The idea is similar to Flickr, in that you can upload your photos, but the catch here was that this website published a magazine made from contributions. So this was the place to upload your stuff if you wanted to have an opportunity to have it published in a beautiful glossy magazine. Each magazine had a theme and members of the website had the opportunity to vote on what would make it into the magazine. Anyways, while it still up, you can check out the pics that caught my eye in a strong way.

Jacque and Drea are fun to watch (especially Drea - ya know what I mean)
I would like to see them move up to high definition and make their videos available as a podcast on iTunes so I can put them on my iPod.

America at War
Category: News and Politics
Today our government wants to fill us with fear over the possibility of terrorism. Over and over we get shown the devastation that happened in New York City.We are being told that we must be on the watch out for radical islamist forces who want to destroy us.

The real enemy does not come from Islamic countries. The real enemy is in the mirror. Our own ignorance and our inability to think for ourselves and instead take for granted whatever information we are provided by the media is the true danger.

We are being asked to give up, peace by peace, the freedoms that millions of Americans have fought and died for since the founding our our country. Are we going to sit by and have our freedoms watered down?

Do we want to live in a country where we can be picked up by government forces and made to dissappear, with no access to family or a lawyer? Guess what, its already happening. Our congressmen and senators have approved of laws that allow our rights to be ignored "In the interest of National Security." So basically, if some government type decides we need to be made to dissappear because they say we threaten National Security, then we're gone, no trial, no chance to defend ourself.

All this is being allowed by our lack of involvement. Our choice to simply focus on only our lives and how events directly effect us will come to haunt us. To have a country worth living in, we need to be constantly on the lookout for how we are all treated and make sure our government gets spanked when they act in ways that deny us our fundamental freedoms.

So, what am I asking us to do?

We can start by opening our eyes and looking at the big picture and not simply the microcosm of our life.

We can start by writing all your representatives and telling them that our fundamental freedoms are not to compromised for any reason.

We can consistently vote. I know some of us think our vote is insignificant. In fact it is not. With every vote we show that we care about what is going on. Showng our leaders we care and are ready to take action is the most significant thing we can do.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men a nd small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send on ...Who cares? But I'm sending it to you....

Love at first sight?
Category: Life
Do you believe in Love at first sight? I think that belief in this concept must begin with a true understanding of what it means to Love. Some people think that Love is something that just happens and for which we, the individual have no control whatsoever. I do not see it that way. What I do not have control over is who I am attracted to, because attraction is all about the DNA and the Chemistry. There are those that would argue that the Chemistry is the definition of Love. How many relationships with Chemistry have died on the vine? Chemistry is not Love. Chemistry and Attraction are factors in Love. These and other factors are what help us come to a decision on how we want a particular relationship to go forward. The decision to establish and build a relationship to one with more trust, interdependence and intimacy is the decision to Love. The concept, therefore, of Love at first sight is not so strange, then, if you consider that different people require different amounts of time to come to a decision. Some simply use the attraction factor to make this decision while others use chemistry. If you real unlucky, you get both. j/k lol
But seriously, attraction combined with chemistry can drive people crazy and its easy to see why so many poems, songs, and books have been written about this torture we allow mother nature to put us through. But lets get back to my original question; what of Love at first sight? Is it possible? Of course it is. A DECISION can be made in a microsecond. Whether its a good decision or not takes a lot longer to figure out. Real long lasting Love takes people who are willing to work at it. Yes, it takes work! Who ever told you it was supposed to be easy lied to you! Some couples make it look easy, for sure, just like Michael Jordan makes basketball look easy. Jordan will tell you that his ability was not a simple gift from God. God gave him opportunities, opportunities which Jordan was able to take advantage of because of the hard work thru hours of practice he put into his craft. Relationships are no different. We have to put in the time and effort to make it to the pros and we can never stop practicing if we want to stay on top. As many have learned to their dismay, Chemistry does not always last. For many couples this is the end of their relationship. They will make a decision that the Love is gone. Please remember, Love last for as long as we decide to show Love.
