Casual Sex And “Self-Love” – Debunking The Myth

Many of us often hear cliché' phrases such as, "Love yourself", or "Live your best life", but what if these quotes were encouraging our narcissism instead of helping us truly deal with our traumas? To answer this, we must ask ourselves, "What is the difference between "love" and "respect". Is it self-love to be selfish or to engage in pleasurable behavior, or is self-love actually about setting boundaries and respecting your own sanity? In today's dating culture, we often find ourselves bewildered and confused in what appears to be a cycle of... "Talk. Spend time together. Develop attachment. Engage in physical actions (kissing, hugging, sex, etc..), spending more time together. Distance. Coldness. Break up." Why is this pattern so common in today's world? Is it because we have seemingl...

Yacht Parties Quickly Becoming The Highest Rated Social Event – According To Party Animals

Have you ever been to a yacht party? If you had, you'd have remembered it. At least that's what the latest polling data is showing for corporate event planners. Consider if you will, having a cocktail on a party yacht with people you know, like and work with - watching the Sun slowly set, looking out and seeing the islands and looking to the other side of the party yacht and seeing the shoreline in the distance. Just imagine that imprinting on your memory. This is something you will never forget, nor will anyone else on this short voyage either. Are sunsets really better when you are viewing them from a yacht? Yes, and a good captain knows how to maneuver his yacht just right, so you are watching the sunset over the islands and then sailing just past them as it sets. The pictures your gue...

I Dated A Dallas Cowboy!

And it almost brought the country club down. We should not have stopped there. It was Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, and I think my Dad paid hell afterwards. He never said a word. He was cool like that. But, later, I realized that in all the years I had been going there to swim or play tennis, I had never seen a black member. Jimmy Dean (sausage company) came up to me and whispered, "watch yourself girl," and I knew what he meant. Then, he shook my date's hand and gushed compliments, questions and information on him to the point that we both looked quizzically at each other. You see, my date was black and I was white, white, white. It wasn't until he was identified as one of the Doomsday Defense that the mind-numbing stares stopped. Women just pelted me with hateful looks until they reali...

Framed As Young And Sexy – Powerful Women Heading Up Dating Apps

People are swiping on dating apps in record numbers and roughly half of these individuals identify as women, which may be the reason why the dating app industry recently assigned the top leadership roles to women. Indeed, this past year, the most powerful dating apps in the world — Bumble and Tinder — were both run by women. Whitney Wolfe Herd is at Bumble while Renate Nyborg was running Tinder. As scholars who write about dating apps like Bumble and dating and feminism, we were interested to see how journalists reported on these two women leading the male-dominated, highly lucrative online dating industry and we wanted to compare that coverage with how the CEOs represented themselves on social media. We looked at last year’s top 50 news stories for each woman that came up in search res...

What Money Has To Do With Marriage

I must admit, I laughed out loud when they told me that at their first session with the pastor, they were each required to bring two items: a Bible and a copy of their personal credit reports. After I stopped chuckling, I realized the preacher was on to something. He knew that how we handle our finances says a lot--good, bad, or ugly- about who we are and how we handle commitment. And that's no laughing matter. Like it or not, money really does have meaning and power. How you handle or mishandle it, will speak volumes about you to your present or potential mate, much more persuasively than anything you could every say about yourself. Handling your money with care, discipline, and maturity builds a strong case that you are caring, disciplined, and mature person. Those, of course, are the...

When Women Love Married Women

A troubling situation that should not be judged too harshly, we are all capable of falling in holes with little room to escape. I will try to be gentle and look at all sides when exploring this subject, and also remembers that it is very different to affairs in heterosexual couples. It is important not to judge. Our society is so eager to humiliate, cast out, and punish us for our choices rather that teach openness, honesty, and the value of good intentions. We may all be a little healthier if we practice these principles on ourselves and each other. Women are built to form emotional bounds; it was an intricate part of our survival in prehistorical times. We connect emotionally to each other, due to women having more of the chemical known as oxytocine "the love hormone." That is why af...

Vanilla Or Chocolate

When in the Lady bars (really it should be just bar... but I am trying to remain hopefully), shopping in grocery stores, drinking coffee downtown and looking at the gorgeous women one thing comes to mind "Is she Vanilla or Chocolate?" We all have are own individual sexual style and being with a woman is so wonderful in itself it is hard to describe or put into words the magic of lesbian love-making. There are an infinite amount of ways lesbians can have sex, and we have a variety of women to experience sex with, bisexual, woman who enjoy sex with other women (no label necessary), queer women, and lesbian transgender. Here are some reasons why lady loving is so fantastic: The roles can be switched up, back and forth. We can be dominant and in control (ripping her clothes off against a wal...

Is Your Wife Sleeping With Her Boss – Here’s How To Find Out

A woman having an affair with her boss is very common. In fact of all affairs that take place at work the woman sleeping with her boss is the most commonplace. Here are three ways of telling if your wife is sleeping with her boss (these tips are from personal experience). 1. Her boss starts to give her a lift into work. This is the first of the signs that I should have took notice of earlier and maybe I would have been able to save our marriage. Anyway if your wife usually gets a lift off a friend or drives to work but then she suddenly starts getting a ride from her boss then you would be right to worry. She will say "what's the big deal" if asked about it but beware because this is the first sign of infidelity. 2. If your wife is on the phone a lot to him or testing him a lot then she...

Employees Want Better Pay, And Status

There has been endless chatter about the great work from trend. Resignation. Renegotiation. Reshuffle. Regardless of the descriptor used, employees in the United States are purportedly re-evaluating the role of work in their lives. While some of this is related to deeper existential questions — like “What am I doing with my life?” or “Is this really how I want to be spending most of my waking hours?” — there might be a much simpler and more practical explanation for the take-this-job-and-reinvent-it wave. A classic quote from the 1996 film Jerry Maguire captures it well. Sports agent Jerry Maguire (played by Tom Cruise) has been fired and as he embarks to become an independent agent he desperately tries to retain one of his clients, football star Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.). Tidwe...

How To Heal Yourself & Begin To Move On From A Broken Relationship

Are you newly single? Have you just come out of a relationship or marriage? Failed relationships can be painful and challenging to overcome. While the most common solution is to rebound into another relationship, these relationships rarely survive beyond a few months. And even if they do, they mostly work more like a compromise. The best way out is to take advantage of your new relationship status by learning from the past and recreating your life.
