how to charm a woman?
How can you charm a woman? Do they like a daily check-in phone call? Does she secretly wish you'd text her in the middle of the day for no reason but to make her smile? Do they prefer expensive dinners to home-cooked meals? Rock-hard abs? Flowers for no reason?
Identifying women's turn-ons is complicated, because they all react differently. Some women you wish came with owner's manuals so you knew exactly how they were wired. Luckily, I've done most of the legwork for you and am happy to pass this knowledge on to you.
Top 10 ways to charm a woman
1. Be aware. This means cracking open more than the sports section on the daily paper. Be up on current events and learn the difference between feelings, emotions and thoughts. Women are emotional beings and tend to think things through.
“They are attracted to men who are as smart or smarter”
They are attracted to men who are as smart or smarter than them, and your knowledge of worldly matters will demonstrate your intelligence.
2. Demonstrate humor. Women love a man who can make them laugh. Now don't fret here if you're not a stand-up comedian. We all have a certain type of humor. You can be dry, sarcastic, hilariously funny, quick-witted or dark. Being able to poke fun at yourself and just plain old being goofy is a turn-on for women. Keep in mind that all women are not attracted to the same type of humor, so if you don't vibe, just walk away and try someone else.
3. Have passion. A guy who lives his life with gusto is incredibly appealing. When you speak to a woman about your life, your travels, your job, your interests, speak with passion. That passion about who you are will turn her on instantly. She will start to imagine what it will be like when you are involved with her and how passionate you will speak about her.
4. Be considerate. Pay attention to the little things and look for opportunities to make small gestures that show you care. A simple "How was your day?" and being able to listen to her when she wants to discuss something are huge. So many men forget about simple things like holding the door, paying for her valet or just thanking her for a great time last night. Women are all about a guy with manners -- she is not attracted to the dope who acts like a caveman.
5. Be honest.
“Share who you are by telling her something personal”
Share who you are by telling her something personal. Maybe share one of your favorite childhood memories or some personal growth that you have been going through. Something that will show her that you are a trusting and honest person. It also shows that you are a confident but vulnerable man. Women love to see the vulnerable side of you. Note: Don't talk about an ex in a bad way here. If you have to talk about an ex, do so in a positive manner and share what you learned and how you grew from the relationship.
6. Be flexibile. Be open to her plans but surprise her with your flexibility. Take charge and surprise her with a fun night out. Instead of being the typical guy who makes a reservation, think about how you can be the guy who listens to her and plans a great date that she did not expect. If you can pull this off, she will be open to all sorts of advances from you.
7. Be positive. If you are positive about life, it shows in your actions. I always tell men to be extra nice to waiters, bartenders and other service people. Be a courteous driver when she's in the car. When you are in line at the movies, don't complain. Look for the humor and try to have fun with people all around you. Be positive about everything, and she will find you to be very sexy and alluring. No one wants to be with a negative hothead.
8. Be balanced. Women love a successful, ambitious man. They love that you work hard, but if you constantly put work ahead of her she will become turned off. She will start to imagine what life with you will be like with her needs being ignored. If you are out meeting women to date, you need to balance your life between work and play. This will be a major turn-on for her.
9. Have ambition. Men who are ambitious about what they do are a turn-on to women. It doesn't matter if you choose to be a rich stock trader or a painter, as long as you are passionate about who you are and what you do. If you don't love what you do, find something that really turns you on. You can't attract the woman you want with a negative ambition. Women love a man who is the best at what he does.
10. Be attentive. You are out with her for the very first time, and she tells you she loves a certain type of music. On the next date take her to a lounge that plays that type of music. It is all about paying attention to the details and working on your listening skills.
This list of 10 things will work in most cases. Keep in mind there is always the woman who you just can't seem to please. If you happen to cross paths with this type of woman, ask yourself, "Why would I want to be with a woman who is so difficult?"
I tend to avoid the difficult, judgmental women. Knowing women's turn-ons and putting them into practice will help you identify women who may be relationship material. You need to realize that you want to attract and turn on the women that are attracted to you on an equal level

Q and A
Q&A Portion:
Jay or Conan?
I’ve finally decided that I’d choose Conan over Jay. Conan is witty, funny and very sexy. I just love his hair. He seems like a very genial person. He’s very self-deprecating and humble. I think his wife is lucky to have married him. He seems like a genuinely affable guy, not to mention, he’s very talented.
Looks Over Personality?
Personality trumps looks. It’s what a person is inside that truly matters.
Who is your ideal man?
I don’t know yet. I know what I don’t like. I don’t like disloyal men. I never really had a thing for Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Sure, they’re handsome men but I just don’t know why I don’t like them much. I don’t like men who are not honest and direct. I really don’t know. I don’t think I have a concept of an ideal man anymore.
Artistic or Regular Guy
I’d love to be with a regular guy. An artistic guy can be too self-centered and egocentric. I don’t think I can handle that.
What are the kind of books that you love to read?
I love reading travelogues, science books, memoirs and classic novels. I’ve outgrown chick lit and sappy romance books. I’m more into memoirs now. I will always love books about foreign countries and books about food. Physics books and books on Buddhism are interesting as well. I’ve outgrown books on serial killers.
What kind of tv shows that you like to watch?
I was into Grey’s Anatomy when it first came out, but now I don’t like it much. I’m more into Men In Trees now. I just love Marin Frist, Jack, Patrick, Annie and the Elmo gang. I’ve just fallen in love with the characters and the locale of the show. It’s just wonderful.
I still watch Lost, Medium, House and CSI.
I don’t like Grey’s Anatomy anymore because everyone is sleeping around. It’s like everyone in Seattle Grace Hospital is having an ‘incestuous relationship’. Friends are sleeping with friends.
I dislike the idea that friends are sleeping with each other. You can actually link them all together based on who they’ve slept with. Dr. McDreamy is sleeping with Meredith and Adison, Meredith slept with George, George slept with Dr. Torres and the nurse; the nurse slept with Alex; Alex slept with izzie; Adison slept with Dr. McSteamy and them slept with the bone doctor. Everyone is sleeping around! It’s just absolutely crazy!
What turns you on?
A heart capable of love.
What turns you off?
Ignorance. Bigotry. Prejudice.
If you won the lottery what would you do with the money?
I’d start up a socially and environmentally conscious company that will actually help disadvantaged people; set up a school for disadvantaged women; travel around the world.
Favorite Food?
Still sushi. Will always be sushi. Sushi and chocolate. Dark chocolate. Sushi and dark chocolate.
Who would I love to meet and why?
Oprah- She’s a woman who achieved so much success not based on her looks but based on her brains. She came from a poor family but she never allowed that to hinder her dreams. She has proven to everyone that with determination and with ambition, you can do anything. She’s living proof that women shouldn’t limit themselves to achieve great things.
Wentworth Miller- he has a degree in English Literature and he seems very humble considering his sudden rise to fame; I’d love to be able to talk about books with him.
Sting- he’s a modern day minstrel. He’s an old soul. I’d love to talk music with him.
The Dalai Lama- I’d love to ask him how I too can achieve happiness.

old couple loving makin' style :-)
The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'
Yes, she says, 'I remember it well.'
OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'
Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!'
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.
The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.
So, as the couple passes, he says to them,' Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'
Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, 'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence!'
Yes, she says, 'I remember it well.'
OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'
Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!'

Trying to Change People
Trying to change other people is usually a bad idea!
Why? Because you get frustrated - and they start to hate you!
Example 1:
Fred and Mary are lovers.
Mary figures, "Fred is not perfect ... but I can CHANGE him!
I'll teach him manners. I'll stop him drinking ..."
Mary is determined to "fix" Fred.
But Fred doesn't want to be fixed.
So Fred gets angry and resentful - and Mary gets exhausted.
Both are unhappy!
Example 2:
Let's say that my life is a total mess.
I'm out of control, and everyone can see it.
Friends give me advice, and I ignore it.
Soon enough ... KABOOM!
I go bankrupt or I get fired ... or I get arrested.
I am shattered!
But BECAUSE I am shattered, I start to pay attention!
I change my behaviour - and my life improves.
Positive change is a natural process.
Frequently it unfolds like this ...
Step 1: STUPIDITY, followed by
Step 2: DISASTER, followed by
Step 3: DESPERATION, and finally
Step 4: COMMON SENSE.
We need each step.
If you force change upon people, you disrupt the process.
You say, "But it's painful to watch other people being STUPID!"
Right! But when you force them to change, they don't learn.
People fall into two groups:
a) Those that make regular adjustments to their life strategy
b) Those that like to hit a brick wall, and then change.
Neither want you to tell them how to live!

Other People's Relationships
Has this ever happened to you ...
Two friends of yours decide to split up.
They ask for your advice.
You get involved. You try to help.
Next week they are back together again –
and they both hate you!
What's the lesson here?
Be careful when offering friends
advice on their relationships!
It's a minefield!
The only people who REALLY know
what is going on in a relationship
are the two people in it!

What Women Say & What They Really Mean
She tells you she'll accompany you to a dinner party, and she seems to really want to. Later on, though, she gets angry at you for having made her go. Sound familiar?
Men and women are very distinct creatures. While men have a tendency to be straightforward, women are often not so simple. When trying to understand what she really means, you are sometimes better off reading between the lines.
But don't get disheartened just yet. The following cheat sheet with help you bridge the gap between what she means and what she says. From asking her out to being in a relationship to breaking up, the list below will equip you with all you need to know to understand what she's really trying to tell you.
the pursuit phase
She says: "I don't want to ruin our friendship."
What she means: I am not attracted to you, or I don't feel enough chemistry to date you -- but I do like you as friend.
Why she does this: She probably does want to remain friends, but doesn't want to hurt your feelings by admitting that she doesn't feel the same attraction for you.
What you should do: Don't take it personally; she just doesn't feel the same chemistry as you do. Take the hint and work on being friends with her, if that's what you want.
She says: "I'm just so busy with work right now."
What she means: I am not interested in fitting you into my schedule.
Why she does this: She wants to let you down easy. Instead of being blunt, she is hoping you'll just get the picture.
What you should do: When a woman likes a man, she will always find time for him -- no matter what her schedule is like. So don't kid yourself into thinking that the situation might change. Instead, move on right away.
She says: "Are you seeing anyone right now?"
What she means: I might like to submit an application for the position of your girlfriend.
Why she does this: She wants to make sure she is not wasting her precious flirting energy on a man who is already spoken for.
What you should do: Answer honestly, and then hit her up for her phone number.
Things she says during the dating phase and what they really mean...
the dating phase
She says: "Do you really want to go to that restaurant/movie/dinner party?"
What she means: I really don't want to go to.
Why she does this: She doesn't want to go, but she doesn't want to appear stubborn either. She is probably hoping you'll sense her hesitation and come up with an alternate plan that pleases her.
What you should do: If you have your heart set on going to that particular destination, stick to your guns. Otherwise, you might want to switch up in order to please her. Remember this: If you keep her happy, she'll keep you happy.
She says: "You have a knack for dealing with kids. They really seem to respond to you."
What she means: I am contemplating eventually having children with you and am wondering where you stand in that department.
Why she does this: An indirect question is her way of feeling you out without freaking you out.
What you should do: Don't freak out. She is probably thinking very distantly into the future (yes, women do this). If, however, you absolutely positively know that you never want kids, this would be a good time to say it.
She says: "Where is this relationship going?"
What she means: I would like us to graduate to a more serious, exclusive relationship.
Why she does this: She wants you to be the one to suggest exclusivity.
What you should do: This depends on whether or not you actually want exclusivity. If so, suggest it. If not, let her know that you care about her, but are not interested in being exclusive right now.
She says: "I feel so close to you right now. You know me so well."
What she means: I am starting to feel the l-word, but I don't want to be the first to say it.
Why she does this: It's a scary thing to be the first to say "I love you." It's much easier for her to hint and hope that you'll take the plunge first.
What you should do: Do not -- under any circumstances -- say the l-word if you don't mean it. If you do feel it, then go ahead; otherwise, don't say anything. In the long run, you'll be happy not to get entangled in such a lie.
She says: "I feel like our relationship is stuck in a routine right now."
What she means: I want you to be more romantic and spontaneous, and surprise me more. I need you to pay more attention to my needs.
Why she does this: She doesn't want to hurt your feelings and admit that you are, in part, the cause of the rut.
What you should do: You don't need to change your personality entirely, but it wouldn't kill you to surprise her every once in a while. Call her out of the blue and tell her you're taking her for dinner, go on a spontaneous weekend away, or just surprise her with her favorite chocolates.
What does it mean if she tells you some guy was flirting with her all night, if she asks whether you get along with your mother, and all those strange things she says when you're breaking up...
She says: "A man was flirting with me all night."
What she means: Does it make you jealous?
Why she does this: She wants you to know that she's a hot commodity and that other men are interested in her. She wants you to appreciate what you have.
What you should do: Don't respond to it in a way she'll expect, like by getting angry or jealous. Instead, pay her a compliment -- she's definitely fishing for it. Don't get all insane with jealousy; just let her know what she means to you, or else she'll be playing this card every so often to set you straight.
She says: "Do you get along well with your mother?"
What she means: Are you a family man?
Why she does this: A man who gets along with his mother tends to be more loyal, sensitive and devoted -- at least that's the stereotype that a lot of women buy into.
What you should do: Talk about how close you and your mother are; you could even tell a couple of stories. Just enough to affirm that yes, you get along with her.
the breakup phase
She says: "I'm just not ready to make a commitment."
What she means: I'm not ready to commit to you, and may never be.
Why she does this: She uses this tactic to soften the blow; nine times out of 10, this means that she doesn't see a future with you... ever.
What you should do: Don't stick around until she's ready to make a commitment. Chances are, when she's finally ready, it won't be with you.
Men and women are very distinct creatures. While men have a tendency to be straightforward, women are often not so simple. When trying to understand what she really means, you are sometimes better off reading between the lines.
But don't get disheartened just yet. The following cheat sheet with help you bridge the gap between what she means and what she says. From asking her out to being in a relationship to breaking up, the list below will equip you with all you need to know to understand what she's really trying to tell you.
the pursuit phase
She says: "I don't want to ruin our friendship."
What she means: I am not attracted to you, or I don't feel enough chemistry to date you -- but I do like you as friend.
Why she does this: She probably does want to remain friends, but doesn't want to hurt your feelings by admitting that she doesn't feel the same attraction for you.
What you should do: Don't take it personally; she just doesn't feel the same chemistry as you do. Take the hint and work on being friends with her, if that's what you want.
She says: "I'm just so busy with work right now."
What she means: I am not interested in fitting you into my schedule.
Why she does this: She wants to let you down easy. Instead of being blunt, she is hoping you'll just get the picture.
What you should do: When a woman likes a man, she will always find time for him -- no matter what her schedule is like. So don't kid yourself into thinking that the situation might change. Instead, move on right away.
She says: "Are you seeing anyone right now?"
What she means: I might like to submit an application for the position of your girlfriend.
Why she does this: She wants to make sure she is not wasting her precious flirting energy on a man who is already spoken for.
What you should do: Answer honestly, and then hit her up for her phone number.
Things she says during the dating phase and what they really mean...
the dating phase
She says: "Do you really want to go to that restaurant/movie/dinner party?"
What she means: I really don't want to go to.
Why she does this: She doesn't want to go, but she doesn't want to appear stubborn either. She is probably hoping you'll sense her hesitation and come up with an alternate plan that pleases her.
What you should do: If you have your heart set on going to that particular destination, stick to your guns. Otherwise, you might want to switch up in order to please her. Remember this: If you keep her happy, she'll keep you happy.
She says: "You have a knack for dealing with kids. They really seem to respond to you."
What she means: I am contemplating eventually having children with you and am wondering where you stand in that department.
Why she does this: An indirect question is her way of feeling you out without freaking you out.
What you should do: Don't freak out. She is probably thinking very distantly into the future (yes, women do this). If, however, you absolutely positively know that you never want kids, this would be a good time to say it.
She says: "Where is this relationship going?"
What she means: I would like us to graduate to a more serious, exclusive relationship.
Why she does this: She wants you to be the one to suggest exclusivity.
What you should do: This depends on whether or not you actually want exclusivity. If so, suggest it. If not, let her know that you care about her, but are not interested in being exclusive right now.
She says: "I feel so close to you right now. You know me so well."
What she means: I am starting to feel the l-word, but I don't want to be the first to say it.
Why she does this: It's a scary thing to be the first to say "I love you." It's much easier for her to hint and hope that you'll take the plunge first.
What you should do: Do not -- under any circumstances -- say the l-word if you don't mean it. If you do feel it, then go ahead; otherwise, don't say anything. In the long run, you'll be happy not to get entangled in such a lie.

RACISM
TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM
1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.
Statements like'...'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people.'
His answer to Oprah was a simple 'YES'.
Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.
My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger.
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put Him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.
PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW. Then send it to the whole community that's not white people and see the result. We have to see the result of unity.
Let's find out if Non-whites really play such a small part in the world. Stop buying any range of their product, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc.
2) Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg and London .
A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. 'Madam, what is the matter,' the hostess asked. 'You obviously do not see it then?' she responded. 'You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.'
'Be calm please,' the hostess replied. 'Almost all the places on this Flight is taken.
I will go to see if another place is available.' The Hostess went away and t hen came back a few minutes later. 'Madam, Just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is a seat in the business class.
All the same, we still have one place in the first class.' Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: 'It is not Usual for ou company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.' She turned to the black guy, and said, 'Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class.'
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded..
Both the above are true stories. If You are against racism, please send this message to all your friends.
'please do not Delete it without sending it to at least one person'.

Locked on Jealousy Jail
Fifth grade I had a crush on Rex. He had a brown hair, rippling muscles, and he stood slightly taller than me. Every time I saw him, my heart fluttered. Rex was every fifth-grade girl's dream come true-including mine.Unfortunately, I had two small problems. One, I felt too scared to actually say anything more to Rex than a few words at a time. So I'd just gaze at him, hoping he'd look my way. Then when he actually did, I'd glance away in embarrassment. I didn't want him to know I liked him! The second problem? He had a girlfriend. My heart would sink every time I'd look in his direction and see him grinning at her or shooting her with love arrows. Every time I'd clinch my fists and vow not to like him.As I god older my confidence grew, and I initiated some conversations with Rex. But these sporadic talks only antagonized me more, because I never knew when we'd have another. Anyway, I'd fill my journal pages with whatever tiniest little interaction we had.Finally the intensity of my raw emotions reached a breaking point. I wrote a passionate poem to God, begging Him to take away my love for Rex. But God didn't seem to answer my prayer.Going to high school only slightly helped me gain control of my reckless emotions for Rex. I didn't see him as often. But my hidden love and admiration revealed itself in my daydreaming about him, and my frequent journal about wanting to go out with him.The climax came when I publicly confessed my love to him on a mission trip. And again, he had a girlfriend.ConsumedThroughout my high school years I allowed jealousy to eat me up from the inside out. I dowelled on my discontent and distrust of God to find me a boyfriend until it almost drove me insane. So I cried out to God, " Set me free from my prison of jealousy! Help me trust You more. Help me stop liking so many guys!" But at the same time, I rejected His promise to give me the on He thought was best. I didn't learn to be contented.At last when I was freshman in college, God showed me why He'd kept me single for so long. I wasn't emotionally ready for a relationship. Plus, I wouldn't have made as many friends or grown up to trust and rely on God so tremendously had I been dating someone.God gave me a new start when I went away to college. Only one person knew me, my roommate. I gained confidence with guys through repeated prayers. And I made several good guy friends. Jealousy didn't leave me alone for very long, though.Role ReversalI was having a good time -- until I say envy oozing from every pore of Girlie's face as she watched me talking and laughing with the object of her intense desire, Victor.I dreaded running into her while I was with him. I could always feel her jealousy burning holes into my back as she passed . I couldn't help it that he and I got along so well. I couldn't stop going to class just so I wouldn't see him. Of course, it didn't help that I liked Victor too.Girlie even went as far as to write me a letter, warning me not to hurt Victor with my friendship. Now I was on the receiving end of a jealous attitude, and I didn't like it.Why, oh, why can't she be content with what God's given her? Why does she have to want what I have?My mind scrambled. Unfortunately, I chose a bad one: avoiding and ignoring her. I forced myself to be polite to Girlie when we were together, but my cool attitude was obvious. I didn't have peace, and I kept thinking, So this is what it feels like to be on jealousy's receiving end.Girlie helped me see how distrustful a jealous mind-set really is. I could see the tight chains it wove around her heart, and it caused me to do some serious thinking and praying.Girlie and I talked a few times during the school year about her jealousy of Victor's and my relationship. I shared with her my story of being jealous for years, and how I'd found it to be a self-destructive emotion.Girlie and my friendship made little progress, though, until we went on a mission trip together.On the trip, Girlie and I spent a lot of time talking, working, singing, and praying together. God humbled me and helped me see what a precious person Girlie really is. And when we stopped allowing to ruin a good relationship, we both finally experienced true freedom.With the bands of jealousy at last broken and put behind us, we opened up ourselves to a new relationship of deeper trust in a God who truly does know who and what is best for us. And on that mission trip Girlie and I built a lasting friendship that will continue throughout eternity.
