Lots of men often ask me if meeting women on the street and in public isn’t gradually becoming obsolete in today’s modern society with the growing popularity of the internet. My answer to that is: Have vehicles become obsolete since the growing popularity of aviation?
The truth is that the internet serves it purpose. Is there really any method to which you can compare which can have you meeting women from as close as the girl next door on your street as far as all four corners of the globe, all with a single click? Probably not.
But just like everything else the internet as a method for meeting women has its advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, there is no comparison to seeing a woman in the flesh who you admire and plotting the course to meeting her and ultimately becoming a part of her life. Of course this too can be done on the internet; but one big difference on the internet, the woman is virtual.
Over the past few months I have taken a look at a few of the sites out there which have crept up to fill this void which introduce men and women to each other and all the ones which I have seen all seem to serve their purpose to some effect. As a matter of fact, I have known people who have met their perfect matches on some of these sites and have even gone on to do the ultimate. But on the other hand I am all to familiar with people who have come away from the internet experience so beaten, broke, frustrated and battered because they have been disappointed, disillusioned and let down, by such things as the photo collectors those e-women who only collect photographs of people they “meet” on the net or those women who supply fake photographs that bear no resemblance to who they actually look like. Then they are those who like Miss Haversham from the old novel “Great Expectations” having been spurned and burned by relationships in the past they set out to trawl the net causing as much pain as possible to every man whom she happens to come across - and the internet is full of these women.
In this age of political correctness and women’s liberation these women are more than likely wreaking vengeance on the spineless men of the net as vengeance for the absence of men approaching them off of it.
I have come to verify that experiences on the internet aren’t too different for the women either. However, there’s one caveat for the fairer sex: the men that these ladies hope to and do attract are so desperate for attention and anything else on offer that they are willing to jump through every hoop which the women put in front of them so that they can have the chance to be with these women - and these hoops are in no short supply!!! These men are willing to pander (virtually and really) to these women’s’ every need, and numerous net-women have to practically fight these characters off with a stick.
Some examples of this are like telling them such things as the kind of things they should do in the photographs and the style of photo that they should supply in order to obtain “special consideration.” Even though the ones that they themselves have on show are often generic. As well as cross-examining these men akin to a prosecutor to an accused – all to eventually declare a mistrial.
For this, special consideration, these men are rewarded by the women in due course neither showing up for meetings, nor returning email and calls and similar things, and maybe some verbal abuse, if they are lucky.
Some of the women seem like the perfect women who you really would want to meet and introduce to mother but then you realise that you have been more or less automatically eliminated as soon you read the profile. Now that’s honesty, but what are you then supposed to do run away with your tail between your legs or stick around, call the bluff, face the challenge and try to convince her otherwise? And suppose you do in the most unlikely event convince her, what about the fundamental point that never would have worked in the first place.
Then they are the ones that you never hear from and those are the high-quality ones. I know a single friend of mine whose phone was always ringing off the hook with calls from these women but he meets few of them and has never got past first base as he would wish with any of them. We figured out it was because he was giving these women too much “special consideration” on his web space and profile. After he ceased that desperate practice all this has started to change.
Look, the internet can be and is a fun place to meet women, and it seems like this will remain so for quite some time, however it is helpful not to take the women who you meet on the there too seriously, that is until you get personally to know them. Additionally the odds are and can be - stacked in your favour away from the modem.
One thing that men must remember: is that on the internet it is easy for any man to “approach” any woman and tell her anything. But it takes a special man to actually approach a woman on in person.
A lot of the skills that will be prove very helpful if you really want to get into this thing you can find in the book, “The Lazy Man’s Guide to Seduction: How To Meet & Seduce Today’s Modern Women”. It’s an information packed guide about approaching, meeting and seducing women in the modern world and puts you at a definite advantage when it comes to building proper relationships with women. It will save men loads of time in their online as well as offline pursuits with women.

Romantic Christmas Gift Ideas She’ll Love
by: Jill Renee
Christmas is a magical time, especially when you get to spend it with the one you love. But finding that one Christmas gift idea for your girlfriend, fiancée or wife can be a daunting task if you’ve just started dating and you’re not sure what she’d like, or, you’ve been together or known her for a long time and you’re not sure what to buy the woman who has everything.
If you’re just stumped and can’t quite decide on what to give her, but you are looking for romantic Christmas gift ideas that will sweep her off of her feet, keep in mind that the best Christmas gift ideas require some time and effort on your part.
Here are some ideas that go beyond the impersonal gift certificate or typical scarf to get you thinking about some alternatives that may put a sparkle in her eye this Christmas.
A Christmas Engagement
There are few romantic Christmas gift ideas that can top getting engaged over the holidays. You are giving her the gift of your love and commitment, and her finger is decorated with a beautiful testament to your feelings for her.
Of course you can go over-the-top with planning the wedding engagement – renting a limo, an expensive dinner for two, and maybe even a horse and buggy ride. But if you’d rather put that money toward getting her a ring, or saving it for the wedding, you can create a memorable experience for her with little expense.
• Cook Dinner Yourself – Even if you aren’t the world’s greatest cook, she will enjoy the fact that you took the time to create a meal for her.
• A Romantic Walk – Taking a walk after dinner, under the stars, to enjoy the Christmas lights can be absolutely enchanting, especially if you get down on one knee and slip a gorgeous diamond engagement ring on her finger.
• The Family Gathering Turned Engagement Party – If either your family or hers is planning to get together a little before the holidays, contact the hosts ahead of time and let them know you will be proposing. You may be able to make the gathering twice as festive – an annual event bringing the family together, and an opportunity to celebrate your engagement at the same time.
But if getting engaged is not in your plans for the holidays, you can always express your love with jewelry. A pair of diamond earrings with a matching necklace or pendant is a classic choice, or, you can choose to start a tradition by giving her a gold charm bracelet that can be added onto holiday after holiday.
Traveling
Whether you’re going for the exotic island location, an outdoor adventure, or you want to completely romance her, the surprise of a vacation getaway (that she doesn’t have to plan) is a romantic Christmas gift idea that will have her glowing with happiness. Giving her the opportunity to relax and truly put her obligations on hold, whether for a week or a weekend, is a gift all by itself – and if she can do this in her favorite kind of setting, you will definitely touch her heart.
Here’s a few sites to visit to begin planning the trip:
• For the islands – if she wants to sit back and relax, these two sites are a one-stop shop for all-inclusive packages:
http://www.sandals.com
http://www.cruises.com
• For adventure – a vacation filled with fun, outdoor activities is easy to plan with these sites:
http://www.iexplore.com
http://www.spectrav.com
• For romance – you’ll find that Paris is not the only option for on-location romance with these options:

Spoil Her
Pamper her by combining a trip at the spa, a shopping spree and time with her friends for a luxurious day or weekend.
Every woman enjoys feeling like a princess, and there’s nothing quite like the VIP treatment you get at a spa. Go beyond the standard manicure and pedicure and tie both of these pamper sessions in with a facial, massage and/or body wrap. Most spas offer packages for these services, so ask some women you know to name their favorite luxurious spas.
The only thing better than a holistic spa treatment by herself is having a girlfriend or two go with her. Talk with one of her friends’ boyfriends and suggest he use the same Christmas gift idea for his girlfriend so both women can share the experience together.
Combine this with lunch or dinner reservations at an exclusive or hot, new restaurant in the area, and a shopping spree, courtesy of your credit card, and she will come home at the end of the day, relaxed, renewed and grateful to you.
The best way to find a good local spa in your city, or even in your state, is to get a referral from someone who has been there. But if you really want to take things to the next level, you can send her to a retreat at one of the world’s best spas.
Or, instead of spending the time with one of her friends, you can offer to join her for some time completely dedicated to her needs and interests. Probably the best Christmas gift idea for your girlfriend, fiancée or wife is to give her the gift of your time – turning off the Blackberry, forgetting the to-do lists, canceling the meetings, and completely focusing your attention on her and letting her know how much she’s appreciated. And, taking the time to participate in her day could bring the two of you closer together.
Any Christmas gift idea for your girlfriend, fiancée or wife should involve some thought, creativity and planning. If you combine those three elements, any romantic Christmas gift idea that you have will go over well. Because, after all, isn’t she going to put a lot of thought and effort into your Christmas gift? Truly show your love by doing the same for her this holiday season.

Photo Handbag: Giving Your Wife The Best Gift For Any Occasion
by: Mario Churchill
Try to imagine that you suddenly remembered that your wedding anniversary is next week and you forgot about getting your wife a gift while you're busy at the office. Try to imagine how frustrating it can be for you and how disappointed she may be if she discovers that you didn't buy her anything for your special day.
When you think about it, it's really not a pretty sight to see. So, if you forgot about buying her a gift, you would then need to buy her a gift immediately. However, you know how confusing and how frustrating it can be with just thinking about what gift you should give her. Surely you don't want to buy her the latest gaming console available in the market that you have been really wanting as a gift.
You want to buy her something that she will treasure for a long time and at the same time, show your creative side. It is important that you should give her something that she can use and one that she can show off to her friends.
Flowers alone just don't cut it. If you want to really impress her, you should try and think about what kind of thing she would really want to use and at the same time, remember you.
An example of a perfect gift idea for your wife in any occasion is a handbag. Sure, a regular designer handbag can be great, but what if you can personalize it? What "personalize" means is that you can put something on the handbag that she will truly appreciate.
An example of a handbag is called photo handbag. Because of today's advancement in photo printing technology, you can now print pictures anywhere you want. You can print your wedding photo on the sides of the handbag with designs that she will truly appreciate.
You can even put in different photos. You can put in a family photo, or just about anything as long as the quality of the photo is good. All you have to do is look for a photo printing service that offers photo handbag printing service near your area. However, if you don't see any of these services in your area, you can try and look for it in the Internet. Today, there are quite a few websites that offer photo handbags and other printing services.
There are even websites that offer designer handbags with the photo of your choice printed on the sides.
To do this, all you have to do is look for the website of your choice, subscribe in the website, choose a handbag, choose a design pattern, submit the photo and wait for it to be delivered to your home.
There are also available websites that offer photo handbag printing with the preview feature. In this feature, you choose what kind of design pattern you want and where you want the photo placed. With this kind of feature, you can really create a unique photo handbag design that your wife can truly appreciate.
If you want to make it more special, why not buy her two gifts at once. Buy her that pearl necklace she's been wanting and put it inside the handbag. With this kind of idea, you will surely make your wife happy.
Always remember that simple gift ideas are better.

How To Keep Your Cigar In Perfect Condition
by: Steve Dolan
Cigar Humidor
For people who smoke cigars, it can become something of an obsession. Over time, cigar smokers often develop precise rituals that they adhere to every time they smoke a cigar, and can be quite pedantic about how they store their cigars. If you're not privy to this obsession of smoking the 'perfect' cigar, then you also probably don't understand the need for a cigar humidor.
The basic purpose of a cigar humidor is to both store and protect cigars. Many cigar enthusiasts believe that cigars need to be stored at a precise temperature in order to maintain their peak flavor. That's exactly what the cigar humidor does - maintains a constant temperature. Opinions vary, but it's generally believed that the range between 68 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit is perfect for cigars. The humidity also needs to be controlled, and kept at a level around 70-72% humidity.
Cigar aficionados have long debated about the ideal temperature required for the storing of cigars. Some insist that even a slight fluctuation in temperature can prove detrimental to the flavor of their cigars, and insist on a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Others are a little more flexible and allow a slight amount of temperature fluctuation. Generally they all agree that the lower the temperature, the quicker the cigar will age, which will then cause a reduction in flavor. If you want to maintain the flavor, integrity and color of your favorite cigars, then a cigar humidor is essential.
What features should you look for when purchasing a cigar humidor? The one essential feature is that it must be completely closed once the lid is shut. If the lid isn't snug and secure, then it's possible that the temperature or humidity inside will fluctuate. A lid that's tight also prevents any other outside elements contaminating the cigars, and prevents any moisture exchange. It's helpful if the inside of the cigar humidor is smooth and seamless, to prevent snagging of cigars (or fingers!). It's also useful to have fittings inside the humidor to assist in the storing of the cigars.
You can choose from a variety of interior linings, but cedar is generally preferred. The best is Spanish cedar. Finally, make sure you know the exact size of your favorite cigars before you go shopping for a cigar humidor. Otherwise you might get home and find you can't fit them in! This is very important, because both cigars and humidors come in a wide variety of sizes. As soon as you get your cigar humidor home, start using it, so that your cigars will have a long life, minimal aging and the best flavor possible.

Top 40 BBW (Big Beautiful Women) of All-Time
by: J. Anthony
As Hollywood continues to pressure beautiful women to lose more and more weight to be considered beautiful, I think it is time to celebrate "real women." Real women are confident, sexy and beautiful no matter their shape or size. There is a phenomenon that started on the internet a few years back called BBW. BBW stands for Big Beautiful Woman.
This does not necessarily mean a fat woman. A BBW is a woman who is proud of who she is and isn't ashamed of her body. Contrary to what Hollywood would have the world to believe, not every man wants a pencil thin woman. Many men want their women to be real. They want their women to have curves. A true BBW is confident, sexy and real. She is a Big Beautiful Woman. The following list is presented by the internet's premier online dating site for BBW's and their admirers (http://www.BBWSinglesFinder.com) which has been online since 2003.
Here are our Top 40 BBW’s of All-Time:

Erectile Dysfunction or Impotence - What Is It About?
by: Steven Harold
Impotence can also be called Erectile Dysfunction. It refers to the inability of a man to maintain an erection during sex. It can include a reduced sense of sexual excitement, which in turn leads to a loss of an erection.
Getting An Erection and Love-Making
A man must be sufficiently aroused by one or more means to enjoy a firm erection. The arousal can be psychological or physical or even both together.
Generally the method of stimulation required to achieve arousal can be what a man views or feels. Also the utilisation of sensual or erotic language can have the desired effect too. On the other hand it can be his imagination producing thoughts and images that are of a sexual nature. Many men enjoy a combination of the both fantasy and reality.
Erections That Are Involuntary
It is well known that men get a type of erection that can be referred to as an involuntary erection. In other words an erection that he has not deliberately set out to have. A man may often notice he has an erection in bed in the morning and just before emptying his bladder. During the night the bladder has been filling with urine and this has in turn pressed on the prostate gland. Stimulating the prostate gland brings sexual arousal and this results in an erection.
There will be other times when a man gets an erection that is involuntary. For instance, a man can be sexually aroused when in the company of a person who he finds attractive sometimes. He will not necessarily want to have an erection but because he is sexually stimulated there is a good possibility that he will experience an erection anyway.
How Does the Body Achieve An Erection?
Inside the un-erect penis there are three empty chambers. These chambers fill with blood and the penis becomes stiff and erect. The penis grows longer and gets wider too.
When sexual stimulation (physical or imagined) or involuntary stimulation is present, the brain sends a message to increase the blood pressure in the body and to send blood to enlarge the penis. The three chambers in the penis fill with blood and the penis becomes hard and erect.
For the duration of sexual arousal, the penis will stay enlarged and blood is stopped from escaping from the penis by muscles at the base.
Interestingly the nervous systems of the body play an important part in all of this. The parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system are the two in question. Usually only one of these systems dominates at any one time. However to achieve an erection the two systems work together.
This information can provide a better idea of how impotence or erectile dysfunction arises. If a man experiences anxiety during sex it can alter the balance between the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system and lead to the loss of an erection.
In summary, impotence or erectile dysfunction is the lack of a lasting erection through to ejaculation. An erection is most often lost just before or during penetration and sometimes in the act of putting a condom on.

Making A Great First Impression On Women
by: Dharmesh Patel
ALWAYS look your best. I know this sounds REALLY obvious but you'd be surprised by how many men don't understand the importance of this simple tip. You never know when the girl of your dreams will turn up, or where. And it’s become a bit of a cliché because it’s true -- first impressions really do count.
Here are some figures to consider from my studies.
If you make a GOOD first impression on a woman, you have a 90% chance of EVER getting with her at that point (10% of women for whatever reason will be unreachable for most men at ANY point – she might like women herself etc).
If you make a BAD first impression your chances with her reduce drastically to just 20%. This means that to make her attracted to you AFTER the first 3 minutes of meeting her will be incredibly difficult if her first impressions of you were bad.
It’s the difference between climbing a mountain and using a helicopter to fly up one. Good first impressions means you’re on your way to the top in the helicopter, bad first impressions means you have a difficult climb to success – no helicopters for you.
Honestly, I can't stress this enough -- always try to look your best.
Tiff’s 5 S’s of first impressions.
Shave. Shower. Stylish. Smell. Shoes.
Remember these 5 S’s and always take care of them before you go out.
Why are shoes my number 5 S?
Your shoes are the FIRST thing a woman really notices about your clothing and hence your appearance. Make sure your shoes are clean and fashionable.
What you wear is very important. I could try to recommend a certain look but as with all things fashionable by the time you read this it may have changed.
Get the latest GQ magazine or other fashionable men's magazine's and imitate the styles you see there -- most women don't really care what labels you are wearing as long as you look good so you don't have to spend the Earth on clothing.
Many guys I help dress better usually comment on how strange they feel wearing clothes they are uncomfortable in, but nine times out of 10 they start to feel natural and even confident wearing their new wardrobe within days.
Make sure you smell good. Again this is extremely important. Remember how you feel when a woman walks by you and she smells soooo good - you feel an instant attraction even though you don't know her - well, that's how women feel too.
Wear a good-quality cologne, but don't spray too much.
One squirt on both sides of the neck, and one squirt on both wrists -- maximum. You don't want to smell too overpowering.
I recommend cool water by Davidoff or John Paul Gautier for Men (often called JPG love juice because women love it) if they don’t sell it where you are try to order some from abroad, this stuff is GREAT!
And here's a GREAT little SECRET that I have found will help you actually pickup about 24% of women without SAYING a word to them! Not a single word! And NO rejection either. You won't find this anywhere else either. To find out how, check out my page.

Make a Woman Fall In Love With You
by: Terry Hernon MacDonald
You’ve been out with a woman a couple of times, and you’re crazy about her. You want her to be crazy about you, too. Here’s the plan:
Invite her to your place for dinner. Casually explain to her, though, that you have to get up early the next morning. (It works best if you actually do have to get up early. If you don’t, arrange to go to the gym before work. It’s best not to lie.)
Cook for her. You’ve heard it said that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, I’ve got news. It works for women, too, and I mean big time. If she likes you, or even if she’s teetering on the fence about it, you very may well seal the deal by feeding her. It makes her feel cared for, and the contrast of watching a manly man like you perform such a nurturing act is devastatingly sexy. Roll up your sleeves just a bit. Let her admire your forearms as you wield a heavy skillet.
If you’re not accustomed to preparing more than Hot Pockets, head over to foodnetwork.com beforehand for a couple of easy recipes that are sure to please her. Try the dish ahead of time, so that you know you can bring it off. Don’t worry, though, if you mess up on the big night. She'll be delighted that you tried.
Whatever you do, do not allow her to take over. Put a drink in her hand and tell her that her job is to relax. A great girl will appreciate that. You will utterly and completely impress her. A potential pain in the neck will tell you everything you’re doing wrong and will tell you to sit down, so she can do things properly. This may seem like a good idea at the time, but trust me, this type of woman will tell you what you’re doing wrong for the rest of your life.
If worse comes to worst, and you render dinner inedible, laugh it off and order take-out. A great girl will laugh with along you.
Kiss her goodnight. But do not sleep with her. As tempting as this might be for both of you, you will score big points if you don’t. Instead, take the woman gently into your arms. Kiss her meaningfully and soulfully. Remind her of your early appointment the next day and say you’re sorry you can’t spend more time together. Tell her you’ll call her but do not say when. Walk her to her car.
Here’s what will happen: She’ll spend most of the next day wondering why you didn’t leap on her as other men would have in your position. She’ll know, however, that you’re not gay because of the way you kissed her (a scene she’s likely to replay in her mind all day long, incidentally). She will wonder if you’ll call—and when.
Because you’re a guy who’s good to his word, you will call, just not right away (even if it kills you). The goal here is not to play games but to give her time to mentally savor the events of the previous evening. Give her time to build you up in her own mind. Whatever you do, do not send flowers. Don’t email her. Let things lie.
Call her a day or two later. It’s more than likely that she’ll be absolutely over the moon to hear from you.
I'm sure you can take it from there.

Maca Enhancer: Providing the best infertility treatment is our commitment
by: Brian Willis
Haven’t you been able to have kids even after trying for a long time? It has been years since you got married and there are still no kids? This is one of the worst scenarios a man can think about, because it would mean that you are suffering from a fertility sperm problem. Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after having sex regularly after twelve months without using birth control devices.
But what causes male infertility? The most usual factor that makes men experience this problem is a sexual health condition called varicocele. This happen when the veins in the scrotum are dilated or enlarged on one or both sides causing the inside of the scrotum to heat affecting the sperm production. Other causes of male infertility are: low sperm count, sperm that don’t move correctly, undescended testicle or other underlying medical problem.
Treatment and solution
Fortunately, more than half of cases of male infertility can be corrected. Some proper natural treatments can help a couple get pregnant through having sex normally. But, if you can not get pregnant in this way you do not need to spend a lot of money in expensive fertility enhancement treatments to achieve it, or looking for extreme procedures like surgery. Most doctors now recommend their male patients who suffer from infertility problems to use natural products based on maca, and the most recommended one in most cases is Maca Enhancer.
This is a nutritional supplement that works as a male sexual enhancer, it has been shown to grow the penis and improve sexual potency, increase libido, enhance your energy and endurance level, reduce stress, regulate hormone balancing and, most important, it is the best male infertility treatment because it stimulates and enhances fertility.
Maca Enhancer has been used for centuries by traditional healers to treat infertility. Researchers in Peru validated the fertility effects in 1961. Maca can increase the male seminal volume by 225% and also acts as an affordable infertility treatment for both men and women. Maca Enhancer can provide the nutrients needed to create quality, thick sperm with good mobility and life. This increases your chances of achieving a successful pregnancy so you could be able to have the kids you have always wanted, making your dream come true.

Maca Enhancer You Should Get If You Want About Performance Anxiety To Forget
by: Bruce Johnson
Can’t have an erection when you most need it? Are you so worried about having a good performance that you can’t last enough to satisfy your partner? Perhaps you may be suffering of performance anxiety.
Performance anxiety happens when a man can get an erection but, as he is about to have sex or is actually having sexual intercourse, he loses his erection or can’t get erect at all. This is usual in men that are focusing more on being able to have an orgasm or pleasing his partner with an orgasm, instead of focusing on all the rest of what goes on in a sexual encounter. They worry so much about not disappointing their partner that they can’t have a good performance and they actually do disappoint her.
Usually performance anxiety produces so much preoccupation that the person becomes less fully involved in the sexual interaction and brings about the very sexual response failure that was feared. Worrying about so many details make the sexual interaction to be dissected so deliberately that they find it very hard to enjoy it. Isolated episodes of having a weak erection or losing it at an inopportune time may occur because of physical causes like having a cold, being tired; or problems like tension or nervousness about a new partner. The problem is that, if a man doesn’t take those incidents in stride and gets upset by not being able to respond physically, he may have difficulties when having sexual intercourse in the future by worrying too much about having a good performance and develop erectile dysfunction problems.
Being afraid of a having a poor sexual performance can cause loss of erection and sexual desire. Eventually these fears can be so persuasive that men will actually be unable to achieve or maintain an erection for as long as necessary for both of them to enjoy of that experience.
Explanation and cure
What happen inside a man body when experiencing performance anxiety is that, in these cases adrenaline surges through the body and causes an erection blocking. So what these men need is something that keeps them calmed, relaxed and confident. Fortunately, this “something” does exist and is called Maca Enhancer. It is a nutritional supplement that can improve sexual potency, increase libido, enhance energy and endurance and reduce stress; it also acts as a hormonal balancer and improve blood circulation to the penis so you can achieve a good erection.
Maca Enhancer naturally enhances physical sexual performance and immune system capability, helping block adrenaline surges while having sexual intercourse with your partner. This way it will be possible for men to forget about any worry they may have so they will be able to get an erection and stay erected for as long as necessary.

Discover How Simple Herbal Treatments Can Help With Fixing Erectile Dysfunction And Enhance Your Size

Since its introduction in 1999, Viagra has made a commanding name for itself in the fixing of erectile dysfunction. It was so triumphant that rivals have now moved in, in the form of two new drugs named Cialis and Levitra. More and more men are moving towards addressing and treating soft and short-lived erections.
But although Viagra and its pharmaceutical counterparts have proven successful for millions of men, some find the side effects a hassle to deal with. Side effects often include headaches, flushing (of the face), indigestion and may cause sudden and potentially deadly drops in blood pressure!
Many men find the side effects enough of a prevention that they go in search of another solution. Thats why so many men are turning to natural supplements. Many men find they give them similar results, minus the high price tag and nasty side effects!
Medical Proof - Herbs Actually Help With Fixing Erectile Dysfunction
Many pharmaceuticals were made using conventional herbal medicines as a starting point. Modern drug research has often started with ancient teachings about a given plant or extract, known to indigenous peoples for having a specified medical effect. They segregate a basic compound or active ingredient, and then prepare it for sale on the market.
Many native cultures have botanical cures for sexual improvement and erection issues. While some were just placebos that gave imaginary results, many others were physiologically valid, and later became medically proven to have positive effects on the penis tissues. Medical proof continues to be added to the list every day.
The Power Of Herbal Supplements
Many of the herbs contained in natural erectile dysfunction cures directly affect the corpus cavernosa, otherwise known as the erectile bodies within the penis. Many of these ingredients have undergone extensive clinical research that proves they can be effective for increasing penis performance, erection size, and in treating erectile problems.
Some Recent Studies On The Effectiveness Of Herbs:
Although the exact actions of Muira Puama are not yet entirely understood by science, its efficiency as an answer to Impotence has been clinically proven. A study conducted at the Institute of Sexology in Paris (supervised by Dr. Jaques Waynberg) showed that out of 262 men, over 50% reported significant progress after using Muria Puama daily for two weeks. 62% of men who were suffering from lost libido had a dramatic effect.
A second study showed even stronger results! In a group of 100 men who complained of low libido, weak erections, or other sexual issues, between 55% and 70% of men who used Muira Puama reported significant increases in sexual performance and desire.
In the same study, a group of 26 men diagnosed with common sexual asthenia (sexual weakness), and the inability to produce an erection suitable to have sex, 90% of cases found treatment with Muira Puama to have a beneficial effect!
Other studies have shown that the herb Epimedium (commonly called Horny Goat Weed) aids sexual performance in many ways.
1. It functions as an adaptogen, which increases the level of various hormones including serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine when they drop below certain levels. This promotes higher energy levels and reduces the stress hormones (cortisol) that can depress sex drive and cause tiredness.
2. It also contains a number of flavonoids (plant compounds found in many green plants), one of which is known as icariin. Icariin can have a direct effect on erections. In medical terms, it is known as a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor, which are the main ingredients contained in prescription drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
Other ingredients in herbal solutions for impotence include both Ginseng and Ginko, both of which have hundreds of clinical studies that show their effects on the human body, not the least of which are improved circulation to peripheral circulation (body extremities), and increased libido and sexual function.

Things Women Want In A Man
by: Rod Cortez
I met Jessica, a 24 year old law student who modeled lingerie to help defray the costs of her education, a few months ago in a nice lounge. I was there with
a couple friends of mine, enjoying a nice bottle of Pinot Noir wine. One of the things that a Date Pro has is the ability to be aware of his environment,
even if part of his focus is somewhere else. In this case I was focused on conversation with my friends. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a man walk
up to a very attractive young lady at the bar, offering to buy her a drink. She wasn't interested so she thanked him for the offer and continued munching on
what appeared to be an appetizer.
This man wouldn't take "no" for an answer and started giving her a hard time. I could tell from her body language that she was ready to do something drastic
such as ask for security or start yelling at him. Here's a pointer for you: one of the best ways to meet a woman is to rescue her from a man or group of
men that she has zero interest in. After some practice in reading bodylanguage, you'll pick up on this. It was my cue to leave my friends for a moment and
see if I could do my good deed for the evening. So I walked toward her and the man that would not leave her alone.
"Excuse me honey," I said innocently, but deeply, firmly, and quite loud, making sure that I made eye contact with her so she knew exactly what I was trying
to do. "I'm so sorry I didn't see you when I walked in here, I ran into Ken and Ronald and ended up chatting with them. When they saw me they were like
'Hey Rod! Over here!' Since I didn't see you I hung out with them for a while. I think I need to be flogged, though I think I prefer a spanking (smirk or
eye wink)."
You'll notice that I found a way to include my name in my initial approach so she would know my name. A couple of seconds passed and those two seconds felt
like an hour as I wasn't sure if she would play along, not that it really mattered. Most women usually do because they pick up on subtle clues, cues, and
hints far better than men do. This was one of those times. "I was wondering where you were honey," she said, trying her hardest not to laugh.
"Oh," started the man who was bothering her, "If you were expecting someone why didn't you say anything?"
I didn't want his badgering to continue so I simply looked at him, then looked at her, then looked at him and said, "Hey buddy, if you don't mind, I'd like
to spend a moment alone with my fiancée."
He knew that he had lost. "Oh man, sorry. Later." And off he went.
As he was making his way out of our little circle, I leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Ok, once he's out of sight, I'm going back to my friends. By the
way, my name really IS Rod." Then I grabbed a stool, gave her a wink, and she leaned into my direction and whispered, "Thank you." Sometimes the damsel in
distress that you saved appreciates what you did and prefers that you be on your way, but sometimes they don't want you to leave. "My name is Jessica," she
continued, "Do you really have to leave? Why don't you hang out for a bit?" Aha!
"So Rod, what is it that you do?", Jessica asked with a sincerity not usually found in these kind of places. Normally I don't like telling women what I do
for a living until after a few dates, but it's only a guideline, not some rule written in stone. I like to go with my gut most of the time, since that is a
sign that a person's game has evolved. Jessica was beautiful and she had this very innocent, cute face that made me want to protect her, this was
evolutionary psychology and biology at work, not my inner wussbag coming out. One has to keep that under control at all times during an initial meeting with
a stranger.
"Let's just say that I help men figure out what they really want out of life," I said with a grin on my face. She accepted that for the time being and we
began talking about that. Eventually I asked her what she thought a healthy, attractive, mature woman wants in a man. "Leave out the stuff about 'I like to
laugh' or a 'man who knows how to treat a lady' type stuff. I'm looking for specifics."
"Well," Jessica started, "You observed one thing we don't like and that is to keep trying to pick up on us after we've made it clear we're not interested.
Sometimes I want to go out and not want to meet new people. Sometimes I just want a drink or dance or just hang out. I hate it when a man is too pushy."
"Please continue, this is fascinating," I remarked.
"I have a part-time job that pays really well, so I don't need a man to help me out financially in any way," Jessica continued on with a look of serious
passion in her face. "You know what I think most 'healthy' women want? They want a man who can take care of himself. He might even be broke today but if
he has a career or is in school or started a new business, a woman can see that he has ambition and potential. I think a lot of women look more into the
future than men do. A man should be financially stable. That doesn't mean he has to be rich, he should be good with his money and not spend it on frivolous
things."
"You mean like a Coach hand bag, Mac make up, or Jimmy Choo shoes right?" I interjected with a teasing tone to my voice. Jessica giggled.
"Something like that, silly," I could tell Jessica was a fun gal. "I know one thing I like is when my man plans out a whole evening for both us. I like it
when he plans ahead. I have a friend named Monica who was dating this really unattractive man, but she didn't care. If you can make her laugh she is all
yours. Tell your clients that if a woman is laughing at his jokes then she likes him."
"So," I chimed in, "What you're really looking for is a confident man who has a plan for his life, has potential, a sense of humor, financially stable, and
knows how to make a woman feel sexy and good, right?"
"Absolutely!" Jessica exclaimed.

Silk Tie
by: H.K Rathi
Dress for Success:
Few clothing accessories denote style and luxury as Silk Ties can. Silk Ties add a special sheen to a man's suit offering both visual interest and personal expression. Other Materials may be used in the manufacturing of ties but silk has a built in cache of expense and glamour. Silk ties benefit from the richer dyes used by silk producers and the expertise of high end designers. Fashion experts often coordinate tailored suits with appropriate silk ties for effect.
Business fashion experts say the choice of tie can reflect the wearers personality or preferred image. Silk Ties offer very bold color schemes and pattern which imply power or security. These ties can also be coordinated with dress shirts to give the impression of organization and personal neatness.
Silk can be printed or woven. Woven silk tends to be thicker and you will often see a fabric weave running through it.
How to clean a Silk Tie:
1. Act immediately
2. Resist the temptation to expose a silk tie to water
3. Use a white paper towel to dab a small amount of stain remover onto the stain
4. Blot with the paper towel.
5. Have the tie professionally dry- cleaned if you haven’t gotten rid of the stain.
Care and Storage:
1. Treat your ties with a specialized fabric protection spray before wearing them.
2. Avoid tie- threatening situations such as open soup bowls, ketchup or mustard packets and babies.
3. Loosely roll ties to store them, rather than hanging them. Tie rolls should be loose to avoid wrinkling, hanging ties can leave creases.
Buying the Right Tie:
To begin with you first need a quality tie made up of 100% pure silk to accomplish that job. As a perfect person you are generally expected to wear a plain colored non- distracting tie with your suit e.g.: in dark red or dark blue color. A crooked tie projects a sloppy look and says the same about the skills and abilities. Therefore it’s important to focus on the tie knot as well.
Conclusion:
1. Buy a quality conservative 100% pure silk tie.
2. Practice how to tie the four in hand tie knot and make sure that the tie’s widest end is roughly at the upper edge of your belt.
3. Use a tie bar to attach your tie to your dress shirt.
Remember wearing a quality silk tie properly tied and fastened is probably the fastest way to improve the overall appearance and doubling your chances of leaving a favorable impression

Breast Enlargement Secrets for Males
by: Lucille Sorella
More and more males are opting for breast enlargement as a form of self expression. Whether they are crossdressers, trangenderists, or transsexuals, many males seek to feminize their figures without the risk or expense of surgery.
So what's the alternative? The answer is hormones. Hormones trigger breast growth in adolescent girls and are the catalyst behind intentional male breast enlargement. Adding female hormones to the male body is a reliable way to trigger male breast enlargement.
However, there are numerous risks associated with synthetic hormones, including depression, mood swings, hypothyroidism, and an increased potential for liver or breast cancer.
Fortunately, herbs are one feminizing alternative that won't cost you your health! There are over 300 plants with phytoestrogenic activity and these herbs can have a powerful impact on the hormonal balance of the male body.
Does that mean you can just swallow a few herbs and wait for your breasts to blossom? The answer is no. There is another ingredient that is needed: massage.
Breast massage is crucial for male breast enlargement for two reasons:
1. Massage increases circulation to the breasts
2. Massage stimulates prolactin production
Any herbs you take must first be digested and circulated through the bloodstream before they can be delivered to your breasts. That’s where massage comes in. By increasing blood flow to the breasts, massage helps direct “herbal traffic” to the areas that need it most.
Regular stimulation to the breasts and nipples also sends a signal to the brain to produce prolactin. This hormone is associated with breast development and milk production and can be produced by both males and females. Massage is a surefire way to get this breast enhancing hormone flowing.
Male breast enlargement used to be a risky proposition, but you now have an alternative. Herbs and massage are a safe and natural way for any male to have fully developed breasts of his own!

Top Ten Tips to Naturally Cure Male Impotence! Forget the Medication and the Side-Effects!
by: Joe Barton
Did you know that men who suffer from impotence are generally more likely to suffer from depression?
In fact, impotence or erectile dysfunction can cause stress and anxiety at home, in relationships and even at work. Unfortunately, in America alone, male impotence affects almost 30 million men. Surveys say, men who suffer from impotence have reported the following: lower self-esteem, relationship turmoil, less motivated at work, embarrassment, feeling ashamed and poor self-image. Still unfortunately, the list could go on for those who suffer from this problem. Fortunately, there is GOOD news! You can be cured if you take the proper steps… Guaranteed!
Let's first understand the problem!
What is the Cause of Male Impotence?
For beginners, erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for a consistent period of time. Do not be alarmed if you or a loved one is occasionally unable to achieve an erection; this is quite normal. For an erection to occur, the male genital needs both an adequate inflow of blood and a slowing of blood outflow. Various disorders, diseases and causes can create a scenario for impotence but here is a general list for those who suffer from an erectile dysfunction.
Possible Causes for Male Impotence:
1. No exercise: Men who do little activity are prime candidates for impotence.
2. Over weight: Men who have a high Body Mass Index (BMI) are also likely to suffer from impotence. If you want to know your BMI, simply Google BMI and you can check your body fat.
3. Depression: Depression affects mind, body and sex life!
4. Stress: Any stress is bad stress and could possibly be your impotence problem.
5. Sickness: If your body is taken care of, you would be surprised of the outcomes!
6. Atherosclerosis: Plaque in the arteries caused from bad diet, obesity or genetics will create less blood flow to you know where!
7. Diabetes: Diabetics and overweight typically run hand-and-hand with impotent men.
8. Alcohol or drug abuse: Drugs such as antidepressants, sedatives, and antihypertensives have been known to contribute to impotence.
9. Stokes, prostate surgery or hormonal imbalance have also been known to be followed by impotence.
Impotence Treatments have Harsh Side-Effects
Various medical treatments increase blood flow to the genital region and will allow most men to have an erection. Obviously, these treatments are great for ending impotence for the time being. But wait! Numerous treatments have side-effects that can actually do more harm than good! Some of the side-effects related with drug treatments include: liver dysfunction, increased risk of stroke, enlargement of prostate, headaches, upset stomach, vision problems, low blood pressure, anxiety, shaking, rapid heart rate, and raise in blood pressure. Many of these side-effects can be scary if not deadly. No Thank You!
A Natural Cure for Impotence

Did you know that men who suffer from impotence are generally more likely to suffer from depression?
In fact, impotence or erectile dysfunction can cause stress and anxiety at home, in relationships and even at work. Unfortunately, in America alone, male impotence affects almost 30 million men. Surveys say, men who suffer from impotence have reported the following: lower self-esteem, relationship turmoil, less motivated at work, embarrassment, feeling ashamed and poor self-image. Still unfortunately, the list could go on for those who suffer from this problem. Fortunately, there is GOOD news! You can be cured if you take the proper steps… Guaranteed!
Let's first understand the problem!
What is the Cause of Male Impotence?
For beginners, erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for a consistent period of time. Do not be alarmed if you or a loved one is occasionally unable to achieve an erection; this is quite normal. For an erection to occur, the male genital needs both an adequate inflow of blood and a slowing of blood outflow. Various disorders, diseases and causes can create a scenario for impotence but here is a general list for those who suffer from an erectile dysfunction.
Possible Causes for Male Impotence:
1. No exercise: Men who do little activity are prime candidates for impotence.
2. Over weight: Men who have a high Body Mass Index (BMI) are also likely to suffer from impotence. If you want to know your BMI, simply Google BMI and you can check your body fat.
3. Depression: Depression affects mind, body and sex life!
4. Stress: Any stress is bad stress and could possibly be your impotence problem.
5. Sickness: If your body is taken care of, you would be surprised of the outcomes!
6. Atherosclerosis: Plaque in the arteries caused from bad diet, obesity or genetics will create less blood flow to you know where!
7. Diabetes: Diabetics and overweight typically run hand-and-hand with impotent men.
8. Alcohol or drug abuse: Drugs such as antidepressants, sedatives, and antihypertensives have been known to contribute to impotence.
9. Stokes, prostate surgery or hormonal imbalance have also been known to be followed by impotence.
Impotence Treatments have Harsh Side-Effects
Various medical treatments increase blood flow to the genital region and will allow most men to have an erection. Obviously, these treatments are great for ending impotence for the time being. But wait! Numerous treatments have side-effects that can actually do more harm than good! Some of the side-effects related with drug treatments include: liver dysfunction, increased risk of stroke, enlargement of prostate, headaches, upset stomach, vision problems, low blood pressure, anxiety, shaking, rapid heart rate, and raise in blood pressure. Many of these side-effects can be scary if not deadly. No Thank You!

Hair Loss Treatment for Man: Enumerating the Different Options
by: Patricia Hammond
Many people suffer from hereditary loss of hair. For men, the abnormality is called Androgenetic Alopecia or “male pattern baldness,” which is implicated in 95% of hair loss cases. This type of hair loss is caused by an increase in dihydrotestostrone (DHT), a direct component of testosterone. While this type of hair loss is inevitable, it can be slowed using hair loss treatment for man and other various treatments.
Since the cause of male pattern baldness is caused by a rise in DHT, the most effective hair loss treatment for man is the one with that focuses on blocking the build up of DHT in the body. One such medication for male hair loss is finasteride. Finasteride is a hair loss treatment for man that works by preventing certain enzymes from converting testosterone into DHT.
Minoxidil is one of the most popular hair loss treatment for man. It is widely regarded as effective in about 25% of men suffering from baldness on the crown. It is applied twice a day in cream form. However, it is effective only when it is continuously used.
Surgery is one other hair loss treatment for man. Although the surgical procedures have undergone significant improvements, the effects are not evident until after several months have passed since surgery. In hair transplants, very tiny plugs of hair are taken from the side or back of the scalp, which are then transplanted onto bald spots.
Scalp massage is a traditional hair loss treatment for man. Massaging the scalp stimulates hair follicles and unclogs blocked oil glands in the scalp. It also encourages growth of healthier hair and scalp.
Tissue expansion is another type of hair loss treatment for man. In this procedure, tiny balloons are placed under the scalp between those areas with thick hair. Over a number of months, these balloons are gradually inflated.
Another hair loss treatment for man is to have proper diet as this is extremely important in hair loss prevention. What you are feeding your body will influence the different areas of system function. If you have an unhealthy diet, you have higher chances of developing hair loss. To prevent such thing from happening, be sure that you eat whole, natural foods as these will guarantee permanent good health. Make sure that your diet consists of whole grains, fresh fruits and lean meats. Protect your system by avoiding or cutting down on excessive caffeine, alcohol, tobacco products and highly processed foods.
Vitamins are another option for hair loss treatment for man. Taking vitamins that help prevent hair from thinning is another option for men who are suffering from baldness. These types of vitamins are valuable in aiding thinning hair and in the promotion of quick growth of healthy hair. These vitamins are typically a combination of amino acids, biotin, zinc, magnesium and vitamins B6.
Many who resort to this type of hair loss treatment for man report that these specific vitamins have produced positive results and that they already have thicker, shiny and healthier hair. If you want, you can take vitamins that are solely for balding and hair loss.

One Big Worry for Guys
by: Jhong Ren
I’m not really sure about how other men feel,
but one big worry for men is whether he can bring the bread and butter home every day.
(This money problem will only go away if money grow on trees.)
There is alot of times when I look around me…some of my friends who managed to get high-paid jobs can manage to leave the problem of financial insecurity aside.
For me, I don’t think I can.
My pay is not of high range and when I work out my expenditure for every month, it leaves very little for savings.
Some of my mentors told me that a man can never really be financially free if he works for others.
I take their words for it as they are making tens of thousands per week!!!
As I was browsing through the internet, there are many internet savvy brides who built their websites and are selling some wedding hand-made items. And they are doing quite well.
There could be many reasons for doing that.
One of them is to make enough money for her own survival.
Others could be to fund her own wedding.
The rest merely do it because they love doing it.
I really wonder who are those lucky chaps who do not need to worry about saving enough for wedding.
I knew of some friends who are from very rich families and they won’t even blink an eye for spending hundred of thousands of dollars on their wedding.
On the other hand, I’m not really sure if they are really considered lucky as they do not have the chance to practice their financial planning between husband and wife.
While typing this post, I remembered many of my friends who are around my age and are getting married.
Irregardless of gender, money is always a big headache for them.
What about you? Is having enough money an issue for you?

How to Attract a Girl – Amazing Advice to Attract the Girl of Your Dreams
by: Michael Lee
Many men have difficulty in attracting girls and starting a romantic relationship with them. You have to know how to attract a girl fittingly before you can really expect her to return your interest. Apply these cool tips on how to attract a girl and start charming your way to her heart.
Think attractive. How would you attract that gorgeous woman if you don’t think you are attractive? Appreciate your looks and your body as they are now. If you feel attractive, a girl would most likely pick up on this; but if you feel ugly, she will also sense this.
Of course, this does not mean that you do not have to improve yourself physically if you find you can still lose some weight or work out for physical fitness. However, feeling attractive as you are now will help you draw women in.
Confidence is key. A confident man is very appealing to women. And it does not have to be a “loud” kind of confidence. A man who exudes quiet confidence in things he does is far more attractive than a man who boasts of his accomplishments. In fact, a man who boasts may actually have an underlying sense of insecurity, and thus, is not confident at all. This is definitely not how to attract a girl.
So, when you talk to a girl, exude confidence. If you have to talk about your accomplishments, mention them only briefly and lightly, in the context of a personal story.
Chivalry still wins! Even in this age of equality of the sexes, being a gentleman is still in, but recognize that you’re doing so not because women are inferior, but because you respect and cherish them. Open doors, pull chairs for a girl, and let her feel you respect her.
Be captivated. When you’re talking to her, show that you’re interested in every word she says. Make eye contact. Lean forward. Nod at appropriate moments. Do not check out other people, especially other women, while talking to her. Give her your full attention.
Give sincere compliments. A girl likes being appreciated. Find something you really like about her (it may be what attracted you to her in the first place) and compliment her on it. The more specific the compliment is, the better.
Never, ever give fake compliments. The girl will eventually see through you if you do. And besides, if you like her, why would you need to fake a compliment?
Make her laugh. A good sense of humor is one of the best assets a man can have in attracting a girl. Laughter can bring instant connection in a conversation. In addition, the girl will most likely be sure to remember you. Recall any previous experience when another person made you laugh and feel good, then apply that experience to the girl you’re attracted to.
Sometimes, you don’t exactly need to make her laugh, but keep the conversation light and fun.
Apply these great tips on how to attract a girl and you’ll find meeting women enjoyable rather than nerve-wracking.

How To Seduce A Woman
by: Alexander Faust
We all know guys who are not at ease when it comes to seducing women in real life. They all want women. They dream about women. They fantasize…and sometimes they even boast to their friends about their imagined 'seduction skills'.
But the bitter truth is that the majority of men consider seducing women to be one of the most difficult tasks in their lives. In fact, this might be the only area in which all we men stand UNITED.
Some men may be confident when it comes to thinking of ideas about how to seduce a woman. They might even offer seduction advice to their friends and others.
However, when it comes to putting their advice into action, it very often turns out to be a much more difficult game to play than it is to commentate on. Actually approaching women and letting them know you are interested in them can be terrifying even for those who talk big.
The general idea of seducing a woman is to make her comfortable, to help her to relax. When you help her to do this, you empower her to initiate closeness and to choose to accept your advances.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not all about persuading her to take her clothes off as soon as possible! A successful seducer creates a comfortable situation for both of you where you can talk freely and get on with an encounter that you will both enjoy.
Before you can successfully seduce a woman, you need to understand certain things.
First of all you must believe strongly that seduction is a game where experienced players win and how to seduce a woman is not a rocket science.
Successful seduction needs careful planning, a positive approach, a degree of self-confidence, and a sense of humor helps too. These and other qualities will help you become a winner in the game of seduction.
You can regard yourself as being successful in seduction if you can impress a girl, take her on a date and show her how much she enjoys being romanced by you. If you can accomplish all this, you have a good chance of successfully progressing to sexual intimacy.

How To Pick Up A Girl?
by: Alexander Faust
Sometimes picking up a girl may seem to be embarrassing, difficult and impossible especially if you are doing it for the first time. For most men it is not easy to approach a girl. So is it that hard to pick up a girl?
I think if you are confident, skillful, articulate, have sufficient courage, and are armed with the right techniques then it is not that difficult to approach or pick up a girl.
There are several things you need to take into consideration.
Be positive:
Women do not like men who are pessimists and have a negative approach to life. Actually nobody like people like that. Hence, it is necessary to have a positive attitude and show it when it comes to picking up a girl.
Smile:
"A smile increases your face value", and surprisingly it costs nothing. Therefore, especially while approaching any girl, smile constantly.
Utilize What You Have:
Most men dwell on what they don't possess. They feel that they don't have the charm and seductive attraction some guys have. Sometimes they regret that they don't have a nice body.
But haven't you seen many men who are good looking but don't have any girl. Be confident and try to capitalize on the assets that you have!
Make Her Laugh:
Making your woman laugh will do the trick. Laughter attracts women easily and in less time. If you are successful in making her laugh a lot, you have already won the battle.
Don't Fear Rejection:
Most men remain unsuccessful in the task of picking up a girl because they fear rejection. The fear of rejection is the main cause behind the failure.
Take every rejection as the next step to success and learn from your mistakes.
Every time you get rejected, you are moving one level up, because once you become comfortable with girls saying no, your fear of rejection will be gone. So instead of getting hurt, be confident after every rejection. Remember, the guys who get rejected the most are the ones who leave with the most numbers!
Be A Good Listener:
It always pays to be a good listener. Observe the things she is saying as well as your surroundings. Stop worrying about what to say next and focus your attention on listening.
During the conversation, always make a direct eye contact with her. Believe me she will give you leads about what she would like to talk about, in essence, telling you want to say next.
Increase A Women's Interest:
If a woman is interested in carrying on a conversation with you or meeting with you, you have actually won half the battle.
You must concentrate on indulging in a conversation she would be interested in. Never fake it. Try to speak about a general topic, a situation or try to listen to her opinions on something really interesting.
Gain Respect:
Remember that a woman would never like to sleep with a man she does not respect. It is necessary to gain respect by showing respect to a woman and making her realize that you genuinely like her company.
Get Her Phone Number:
Getting the phone number or contact details of a girl is important when it comes to picking her up. Now this is a difficult and time-consuming task. You must work hard in order to be successful in your goal.
Use Good Pick Up Lines:
When picking up a girl, you can never go wrong with a great pick up line. The best way to start a conversation with a woman is to say "hi". This is the best opening line.
Now, once she responds, try to proceed further. For example, if you are at a music concert, a theater or a sports arena. You can continue the conversation by saying
- "How do you like the band?"
- "Awesome performance, do you like it?"
- "Great movie, isn't it?"
Now, if a woman is near you, you need to try out the famous 'goodbye introduction'. You can start with "Hi, I am just leaving. But before I do, I would like to introduce myself to the most wonderful woman around". And then see the result.
Perhaps it could become one of the best pick up lines. There are bright chances that she would show some interest (that otherwise was not possible) and you will get introduced to each other. Before leaving you can ask, "Nice talking to you. I'd like to talk to you again, is there a number I can reach you at?"
Believe me guys this always works and brings much better results. There is hardly any girl that would say "no", because you are giving her a chance and just asking her number to reach at. So use this technique to pick up any girl of your choice, and see the result.
Why? Because here her left-brain starts working and she would be under some hypnotic mode where she can't afford to say "no" because that will mean there is not a number that she can be reached at.
Moreover, it also makes you more original than every other idiot that asks for her number directly.
No doubt, the question how to pick up a girl seems to be difficult and it really is. However, you can simplify it by utilizing the powers you have, and following the tips and techniques mentioned above. All the best!

Sometimes picking up a girl may seem to be embarrassing, difficult and impossible especially if you are doing it for the first time. For most men it is not easy to approach a girl. So is it that hard to pick up a girl?
I think if you are confident, skillful, articulate, have sufficient courage, and are armed with the right techniques then it is not that difficult to approach or pick up a girl.
There are several things you need to take into consideration.
Be positive:
Women do not like men who are pessimists and have a negative approach to life. Actually nobody like people like that. Hence, it is necessary to have a positive attitude and show it when it comes to picking up a girl.
Smile:
"A smile increases your face value", and surprisingly it costs nothing. Therefore, especially while approaching any girl, smile constantly.
Utilize What You Have:
Most men dwell on what they don't possess. They feel that they don't have the charm and seductive attraction some guys have. Sometimes they regret that they don't have a nice body.
But haven't you seen many men who are good looking but don't have any girl. Be confident and try to capitalize on the assets that you have!
Make Her Laugh:
Making your woman laugh will do the trick. Laughter attracts women easily and in less time. If you are successful in making her laugh a lot, you have already won the battle.
Don't Fear Rejection:
Most men remain unsuccessful in the task of picking up a girl because they fear rejection. The fear of rejection is the main cause behind the failure.
Take every rejection as the next step to success and learn from your mistakes.
Every time you get rejected, you are moving one level up, because once you become comfortable with girls saying no, your fear of rejection will be gone. So instead of getting hurt, be confident after every rejection. Remember, the guys who get rejected the most are the ones who leave with the most numbers!
Be A Good Listener:
It always pays to be a good listener. Observe the things she is saying as well as your surroundings. Stop worrying about what to say next and focus your attention on listening.
During the conversation, always make a direct eye contact with her. Believe me she will give you leads about what she would like to talk about, in essence, telling you want to say next.
Increase A Women's Interest:
If a woman is interested in carrying on a conversation with you or meeting with you, you have actually won half the battle.
You must concentrate on indulging in a conversation she would be interested in. Never fake it. Try to speak about a general topic, a situation or try to listen to her opinions on something really interesting.
Gain Respect:
Remember that a woman would never like to sleep with a man she does not respect. It is necessary to gain respect by showing respect to a woman and making her realize that you genuinely like her company.
Get Her Phone Number:
Getting the phone number or contact details of a girl is important when it comes to picking her up. Now this is a difficult and time-consuming task. You must work hard in order to be successful in your goal.
Use Good Pick Up Lines:
When picking up a girl, you can never go wrong with a great pick up line. The best way to start a conversation with a woman is to say "hi". This is the best opening line.
Now, once she responds, try to proceed further. For example, if you are at a music concert, a theater or a sports arena. You can continue the conversation by saying
- "How do you like the band?"
- "Awesome performance, do you like it?"
- "Great movie, isn't it?"
Now, if a woman is near you, you need to try out the famous 'goodbye introduction'. You can start with "Hi, I am just leaving. But before I do, I would like to introduce myself to the most wonderful woman around". And then see the result.
Perhaps it could become one of the best pick up lines. There are bright chances that she would show some interest (that otherwise was not possible) and you will get introduced to each other.

Wedding & Anniversary Grooming Tips for Men
by: Deidra Garcia
Whether you’re the main attraction (groom) or a trusty sidekick (groomsmen), wedding days call for men to look their best. And even if your wedding is a thing of the past, you’ve always got anniversaries to deal with. Here are some men’s grooming tips to handle both the wedding and everything that comes after (or any formal event you are invited to).
Grooming Tips for Men
* Looking good takes some work and time, so begin a basic skin care routine of cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing early to get the greatest results. Once a day (or twice if you have oily skin), wash with a liquid cleanser to remove debris and clear pores. Follow with a high-performance moisturizing product to keep skin smooth, hydrated and looking great. Two to three times a week, exfoliate with a face scrub to remove dead skin cells and improve skin’s surface.
* If you’ve never spent time on a skin care routine before, consider purchasing a kit that contains all of the products you will need to get started. It takes the guesswork out of figuring out what products to use for what (and can make excellent groomsmen gifts, too!).
* Treat individual problems, such as under-eye circles, fine lines and acne, with products specifically formulated for them.
* For superior shaving without irritations like ingrown hairs, use products that are gentle and don’t contain irritants such as fragrance, menthol or alcohol. Avoid foamy products, as these do not lubricate skin adequately. Change your blade after 4-5 uses to keep from going over the same place more than once due to a dull blade. If possible, shave in the shower as the steamy air will open pores and allow hairs to be shaved closely.
* For super-smooth shaving the day of the big event, skip shaving the day before and then shave in two steps: First, shave with the grain with very light pressure. Second, reapply a thin coat of shaving cream and shave against the grain for smooth results.
* Regularly wash your hair with a gentle shampoo that will remove dirt without stripping away natural moisturizers. Make sure to get a haircut or trim a few days before the wedding or anniversary, but don’t opt for a new style the day before since this could turn out to be a disaster.
* Nails & Hands: With all the hand-shaking and hand-holding going on, it’s a good idea to make sure nails are clean and trim, and hands are moisturized and free of grime. Why not splurge for a manicure? More and more men, from businessmen to movies stars, are getting them these days, and trust us: Sparkly polish will not be involved.
* Wedding and event planning begins months, and sometimes years, ahead of time, so take advantage of the wait by getting fit with a nutritious diet and a regular exercise routine.
* Don’t stink up the place: Make sure to wear deodorant. Keep breath mints handy for those slow dances.
* Some wedding experts recommend men skip cologne at weddings, citing the fact that there will already be a lot of perfume in the air, as well as scent from the flowers. If you choose to wear cologne, keep the scent light and the application to a minimum.
* For anniversaries, gifts don’t have to be elaborate or expensive. Plan a getaway weekend somewhere, even if it’s only two towns away. Book a spa appointment for the two of you and spend a day relaxing. Or instead of an expensive dinner, try revisiting a place you ate at when you first started going out, or a place you two have always wanted to try. The point is to celebrate your marriage any way you see fit.

Solving Sports-Related Skin, Hair & Body Grooming for Men
by: Deidra Garcia
Sports are the perfect way for men to get in shape and have a good time doing it. But with greater exercise often comes greater challenges to your skin and body, and we’re not just talking about sore muscles here. Learn how you can control and eliminate common men’s grooming and skincare problems as you continue to work towards your fitness goals.
Facial Acne: Exercise and sweat can lead to acne breakouts, as grime accumulates in blocked pores. But you can prevent reoccurring acne with a daily application of an acne treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide.
Back Acne (Bacne): Shower as soon you’re done working out and regularly exfoliate skin with a scrub brush. Keep hair from hanging on your shoulders and back, and wear exercise clothes that whisk sweat from skin’s surface.
Body Odor: You can’t have exercise without B.O., but you can control it by washing as soon as you’re finished exercising and using a deodorant that doesn’t just mask odors with a heavy scent, but rather targets and neutralizes bacteria.
Sunburn: A match on the courts is a great way to stay in shape, but forget to slap on sunscreen and you’re sprinting towards a world of pain (and future ages spots and wrinkles). Men require a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays and won’t wash away with sweat.
Athlete’s Foot: Caused by moist conditions and friction in your shoe, athlete’s foot is an irritating problem that affects many guys. Keep feet as clean and dry as you can by washing your feet with a cleanser that contains antibacterial ingredients and drying them thoroughly after exercising.
Damaged hair: Swim for long enough and you’ll develop sculpted waist, arms and legs…and brittle hair?! Rinse hair with fresh water before taking a dip (this will cut down on the amount of chlorinated/saltwater absorbed) and immediately after. Wash hair with a gentle shampoo to rebalance moisture levels and protect follicles, and wear a swim cap if you swim regularly.

Out of the Shade and Into the Fire: Raising Awareness for Men’s Skin Cancer
by: Deidra Garcia
Over half the forms of cancer diagnosed every year are skin cancer, and it is one of the most common forms of cancer among men. According to the American Academy of Dermatology’s 2007 Skin Cancer Fact Sheet, one out of five Americans will contract skin cancer at some point in their lives, and if you’ve had more than five sunburns in your life, you’ve doubled your risk of getting the disease.
In light of these startling statistics and with new scientific research about the dangers of sun exposure constantly being released to the public, why are people still choosing to forgo sun protection?
Men seem to be especially susceptible to carelessness when it comes to protecting their skin from the sun’s rays. In a study conducted by the University of Texas, only 34% of men interviewed said they regularly used a sunscreen. This is in comparison to approximately 78% of women. Higher instances of sun carelessness could be attributed to athletic lifestyles, outdoor jobs and the fact that while a great deal of recent attention has been given to women’s skin health, men are often left to find information out for themselves.
The true horror of skin cancer is that it is one of the most preventable forms of the disease. We at MenScience are very concerned about this epidemic among men and want to provide them with the tools and knowledge to prevent them from becoming future victims. With improved attention and awareness, the number of men who will contract skin cancer can be dramatically reduced.
Some of the simplest things to keep in mind are protection and observation:
* Avoid prolonged sun exposure from 10 AM – 4 PM. This is when the most intense rays appear.
* Cover skin with shirts, pants, hat and sunglasses.
* Every month or so, the American Cancer Society recommends that men check their skin, existing moles and birthmarks for changes in size, color or texture. Men are urged to see a doctor if changes are apparent. This is one of the most effective steps for catching problems before they can become life-threatening.
* Regularly wear a sunblock that contains an SPF of 30 and shields skin from both UVA and UVB rays. These are the most harmful forms of sunlight, and all areas of your skin should be protected. Keep application consistent and try to repeat several times if you’re outside for long periods of time.

Emergency Men’s Grooming Fixes for Special Occasions
by: Deidra Garcia
Grad Season.Wedding Season. Springtime. Wintertime. It doesn’t really matter what time of the year it is---it seems like there’s always a holiday or event just around the corner that you’ve got to look good for. Don’t worry though; there’s no need to panic. MenScience has broken down the stages of men’s grooming from the hour before you walk out the door to what you should be doing all the time. Whether it’s a big date, college graduation, or a holiday party, you’ll look like a polished man no matter what the occasion.
Code Red (An hour before the event):
1. Shower immediately and shampoo. Gently exfoliate face with a face scrub. This will smooth and revitalize skin in under two minutes.
2. Shave: Try skipping shaving the day before a big event to make sure you get a close shave the day of. You can do several shaving passes then for a super-close result.)
3. Target an unexpected acne pimple: Apply an ice cube to a blemish for a few minutes to help reduce inflammation and size temporarily. Then, cover acne breakout with a small amount of acne treatment medicine and let absorb to reduce bacteria on the surface and get immediate results.
4. Go easy on the moisturizer to avoid a shiny, oily look.
Code Orange (The day of the event):
1. Press clean clothes, or get them pressed at the dry cleaners or laundromat a few days before.
2. Trim and clean beneath fingernails.
3. Cut unwanted hairs, such as nose and ear hair. Yeah, it’s gross, but it makes a huge difference.
4. Relieve puffy or tired eyes by laying a frozen eye mask wrapped in a washcloth over eyes for 5-10 minutes. Diminish dark under-eye circles by placing an eye mask in hot water, wrapping in a washcloth, then placing over closed eyes for 5 – 10 minutes. Follow by applying a moisturizer for the eye area.
Code Yellow (A few days to a week before the event):
1. Get a haircut. A trim is always a good idea, but if you’re going for a new hairstyle, do it a couple of days before the event. A horrible cut can often be managed if you have a few days to work with it. If your eyebrows are especially bushy, ask the barber about trimming to thin them a bit.
2. Book a manicure. Many barbershops and grooming lounges now offer them for men, and it’s a great preparation for the hand-shaking you’ll be doing.
3. Exfoliate your skin. Gently removing dead cells from the skin’s surface can immediately brighten your tone, smooth roughness and improve your overall appearance, but for the most optimal results, begin exfoliating your skin regularly 2 -3 times a week beforehand.
4. Clear your face. Achieving clear skin takes time, but there are some acne ingredients, like Benzoyl Peroxide, which start working immediately to eliminate blemishes.
Code Blue (All the time):
1. Don’t use bar soap: It can dry skin out over time, emphasizing fine lines and causing irritation and redness. Use a liquid cleanser instead.
2. Moisturize. Incorporate a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer into your regular skincare routine, and your skin will be ready to party, anytime!
3. Prevent signs of aging by taking care of your skin now with an anti-aging treatment. Regular, early use can provide rewarding results within a few weeks and years down the road.
4. Stay in shape by exercising and following a healthy diet. Take high-quality supplements formulated specifically for men to receive valuable nutrients and promote better health overall.

ANSWER KEY:
1. FALSE: Popping pimples may seem to reduce their size, but it can actually aggravate blemishes by spreading bacteria, causing them to take longer to heal. Not only that, but popping or picking at pimples causes scars and dark spots to form.
2. FALSE: It’s important to have a clean face, but washing your face with force several times a day can cause your skin to produce more oil to make up for the moisture being washed away. Not to mention skin will become red and irritated. Your best bet is to wash once or twice a day with a gentle liquid cleanser that contains Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree extract.
3. FALSE: Pizza, chocolate and junk food have long been labeled “acne magnets,” but there’s very little scientific evidence to back up this claim. However, men should aim to eat a balanced diet full of vitamins from fruits and vegetables, and drink a lot of water for overall well-being.
4. FALSE: When you tan, dead cells build up on your skin’s surface. This can often cause your pores to look tighter and the surface to look smoother. Tanning also masks redness caused by acne. However, once the tan disappears, you’ll be left with greater outbreaks and darker acne scars and marks. Protect skin exposed to direct sunlight by regularly applying sunscreen (especially if using a treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide).
5. TRUE: Men who work in places that put them in constant contact with grease and oil (restaurants and garages, for example) may find themselves breaking out more because oil creates an ideal environment for bacteria to reproduce. Although there’s no simple way to rectify this, they should clean skin gently at least twice a day and try to keep their hands from their faces at all times.
6. TRUE: Benzoyl Peroxide is an antibacterial ingredient prescribed by dermatologists as the preferred topical medicine for safe treatment for acne. It clears acne-causing bacteria on the surface, absorbs excessive oils and clear pores, while promoting greater cell exfoliation and renewal. Doctors also prescribe Green Tea, Urea and Allantoin to help soothe acne-irritated skin. Because Benzoyl Peroxide has powerful antibacterial and exfoliating qualities, it may take some time for skin to get used to the treatment. Once skin has become accustomed to the treatment however, irritation, redness or dryness usually disappears. The best bet is to apply a small amount only once a day, and then increase frequency gradually over 5 – 6 days. If too much dryness occurs, decrease frequency and gradually increase again.
7. TRUE: Glycolic and Salicylic Acids work very effectively to exfoliate dead skin cells and clear pores. By reducing pore blockage, acne has less of a chance to form and breakouts are reduced. Exfoliation with gentle products that contain Glycolic and Salicylic Acids helps smooth and clean skin, while also reducing instances of ingrown hairs as well.
8. FALSE: During acne treatment, skin often seems to take a turn for the worse before it begins getting better. This is due in part to the need to become accustomed to a treatment and the exfoliating process of shedding dead skin cells. The important thing is to keep usage regular. If, however, skin remains irritated for a long period of time, stop acne treatment and consult a doctor.
9. TRUE: It takes new cells 28 days to form and move through the epidermal layer of skin to finally appear on the surface. This is why results are not always immediately apparent. Using a product with Glycolic Acid may accelerate this process and help clear away dead skin cells.
10. TRUE: Noncomedogenic means ingredients in the product do not clog pores or provoke acne. Although it’s definitely recommended for men with oily skin, you should use non-irritating, noncomedogenic products no matter what skin type you have. All MenScience products have been developed by doctors and are noncomedogenic.
11. FALSE: Perspiration helps flush toxins from the body and maintains body temperature, but it does not cleanse skin at all. In fact, leaving sweat on your body can actually cause acne breakouts. Because of this, remember to take a shower or wash your face immediately after sweating heavily with a gentle cleanser several times a day.
12. FALSE: If only this were true! While acne outbreaks are often strongest during teen years (due to hormonal imbalances and improper skincare), acne can affect men their entire lives. Good skin health needs to be regularly maintained to avoid falling prey to blemishes.
13. FALSE: Acne can affect guys with any skin type, from dry to combination and even normal. Men with oily skin might be more susceptible to outbreaks, but they are by no means alone.
14. TRUE: Bacteria (P. acnes) play a big part in the creation of acne. Once a skin pore becomes clogged, acne bacteria begin to grow, causing blemishes to form. Benzoyl Peroxide is the most effective treatment for acne because it introduces oxygen into the bacteria, which kills it.
15. TRUE: Using a gentle exfoliating face scrub that contains Salicylic and Glycolic Acids can help clear pores of dirt and blockage, cutting down on the instances of acne. However, do not use a scrub if your acne is severe; it could aggravate your skin further.
16. TRUE….and FALSE: Acne is a painful, annoying condition, but it doesn’t need to negatively affect your lifestyle. While healthy skin is something we should all aim for, an occasional pimple or breakout is nothing to freak out about and can be treated with the right acne products. Remember: almost everyone is affected by acne. By using the most effective acne products and skincare techniques, there’s nothing to stop you from attaining a clear, healthy complexion.

ANSWER KEY:
1. FALSE: Popping pimples may seem to reduce their size, but it can actually aggravate blemishes by spreading bacteria, causing them to take longer to heal. Not only that, but popping or picking at pimples causes scars and dark spots to form.
2. FALSE: It’s important to have a clean face, but washing your face with force several times a day can cause your skin to produce more oil to make up for the moisture being washed away. Not to mention skin will become red and irritated. Your best bet is to wash once or twice a day with a gentle liquid cleanser that contains Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree extract.
3. FALSE: Pizza, chocolate and junk food have long been labeled “acne magnets,” but there’s very little scientific evidence to back up this claim. However, men should aim to eat a balanced diet full of vitamins from fruits and vegetables, and drink a lot of water for overall well-being.
4. FALSE: When you tan, dead cells build up on your skin’s surface. This can often cause your pores to look tighter and the surface to look smoother. Tanning also masks redness caused by acne. However, once the tan disappears, you’ll be left with greater outbreaks and darker acne scars and marks. Protect skin exposed to direct sunlight by regularly applying sunscreen (especially if using a treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide).
5. TRUE: Men who work in places that put them in constant contact with grease and oil (restaurants and garages, for example) may find themselves breaking out more because oil creates an ideal environment for bacteria to reproduce. Although there’s no simple way to rectify this, they should clean skin gently at least twice a day and try to keep their hands from their faces at all times.
6. TRUE: Benzoyl Peroxide is an antibacterial ingredient prescribed by dermatologists as the preferred topical medicine for safe treatment for acne. It clears acne-causing bacteria on the surface, absorbs excessive oils and clear pores, while promoting greater cell exfoliation and renewal. Doctors also prescribe Green Tea, Urea and Allantoin to help soothe acne-irritated skin. Because Benzoyl Peroxide has powerful antibacterial and exfoliating qualities, it may take some time for skin to get used to the treatment. Once skin has become accustomed to the treatment however, irritation, redness or dryness usually disappears. The best bet is to apply a small amount only once a day, and then increase frequency gradually over 5 – 6 days. If too much dryness occurs, decrease frequency and gradually increase again.
7. TRUE: Glycolic and Salicylic Acids work very effectively to exfoliate dead skin cells and clear pores. By reducing pore blockage, acne has less of a chance to form and breakouts are reduced. Exfoliation with gentle products that contain Glycolic and Salicylic Acids helps smooth and clean skin, while also reducing instances of ingrown hairs as well.
8. FALSE: During acne treatment, skin often seems to take a turn for the worse before it begins getting better. This is due in part to the need to become accustomed to a treatment and the exfoliating process of shedding dead skin cells. The important thing is to keep usage regular. If, however, skin remains irritated for a long period of time, stop acne treatment and consult a doctor.
9. TRUE: It takes new cells 28 days to form and move through the epidermal layer of skin to finally appear on the surface. This is why results are not always immediately apparent. Using a product with Glycolic Acid may accelerate this process and help clear away dead skin cells.
10. TRUE: Noncomedogenic means ingredients in the product do not clog pores or provoke acne. Although it’s definitely recommended for men with oily skin, you should use non-irritating, noncomedogenic products no matter what skin type you have. All MenScience products have been developed by doctors and are noncomedogenic.
11. FALSE: Perspiration helps flush toxins from the body and maintains body temperature, but it does not cleanse skin at all. In fact, leaving sweat on your body can actually cause acne breakouts. Because of this, remember to take a shower or wash your face immediately after sweating heavily with a gentle cleanser several times a day.
12. FALSE: If only this were true! While acne outbreaks are often strongest during teen years (due to hormonal imbalances and improper skincare), acne can affect men their entire lives. Good skin health needs to be regularly maintained to avoid falling prey to blemishes.
13. FALSE: Acne can affect guys with any skin type, from dry to combination and even normal. Men with oily skin might be more susceptible to outbreaks, but they are by no means alone.
14. TRUE: Bacteria (P. acnes) play a big part in the creation of acne. Once a skin pore becomes clogged, acne bacteria begin to grow, causing blemishes to form. Benzoyl Peroxide is the most effective treatment for acne because it introduces oxygen into the bacteria, which kills it.
15. TRUE: Using a gentle exfoliating face scrub that contains Salicylic and Glycolic Acids can help clear pores of dirt and blockage, cutting down on the instances of acne. However, do not use a scrub if your acne is severe; it could aggravate your skin further.
16. TRUE….and FALSE: Acne is a painful, annoying condition, but it doesn’t need to negatively affect your lifestyle. While healthy skin is something we should all aim for, an occasional pimple or breakout is nothing to freak out about and can be treated with the right acne products.
