Why Some Women Are Traveling To South Korea To Find Boyfriends

For my entire life I’ve obsessively watched South Korean television dramas, or K-dramas. The term refers to the disparate genres of television dramas produced in South Korea, including mystery, crime and rom-com. Regardless of genre, most K-dramas seek to elicit a visceral response in viewers – laughter, tears, anger, indignation. The series usually feature charming, well-groomed actors who are in touch with their emotions. When I was in elementary school in the U.S., I regularly went with my parents to a Korean grocery store an hour away from my home to borrow VHS tapes of K-dramas. Eventually, streaming services ended the need for VHS rentals, and I could watch my favorite K-dramas, such as “The Innocent Man,” on platforms such as Rakuten Viki and Dramafever. I turned my passion for S...

Why Would Someone Lose Themselves When They Get Into A Relationship?

What someone may find, that's if they were to get into a relationship, is that they start to lose touch with who they are. So as the weeks and months go by, they will be nothing like they were in the beginning. Or to be more precise, they will be nothing like the person they were when they first met this person. As a result of this, their life is also likely to be very different to how it was before. Part of It Of course, it is going to be normal for one to change and for their life to change when they are in a relationship. Yet, even though this will happen, there is naturally a big difference between there being a change and one becoming someone else and for their whole life to change. If one was to take a step back and to reflect on what has taken place, they could struggle to under...

Is It A Good Idea For A Man To Only Confide In His Partner?

If a man is single, he may find that there is no one is his life that he can share certain things with. This can relate to how he feels, the challenges that he is going through and the things that he has done that he is not too happy about, for instance. He can then have a big family and have a number of friends, but he won't open up to any of these people. As a result, this is likely to mean that he will end up carrying a lot of stuff.

Social Media’s Impact On Divorce

Social media has impacted our society in many good ways. Our lives have been made easier. Pretty much anything we want to know is quickly found at the end of a mouse click. We save time and effort by ordering products and planning travel online. We easily catch up with friends on numerous social media sites. But, there is also a down side..

My Real Experience Of Being A Sugar Baby

Whilst traveling, it is hard to save up money quickly. You want to see and do everything while you're in a country for a short time so you don't miss out. Being a sugar baby was the perfect way for me to avoid wasting all my time earning money while I lived in Australia. I saw a job advert on Craigslist to make money by dating older, successful men. The link took me to a sugar daddy site, which is for sugar daddies seeking younger, attractive partners to share their resources and time with,then I made a profile.It wasn't exactly a job as it had been advertised but it did still suggest that a sugar daddy would help me out financially. I'd never used online dating before but I was curious enough to give it a go. When making the profile I was honest about everything apart from my name. I wa...

Love In The Time Of Algorithms: Would You Let Artificial Intelligence Choose Your Partner?

It could be argued artificial intelligence (AI) is already the indispensable tool of the 21st century. From helping doctors diagnose and treat patients to rapidly advancing new drug discoveries, it’s our trusted partner in so many ways. Now it has found its way into the once exclusively-human domain of love and relationships. With AI-systems as matchmakers, in the coming decades it may become common to date a personalised avatar. This was explored in the 2014 movie “Her”, in which a writer living in near-future Los Angeles develops affection for an AI system. The sci-fi film won an Academy Award for depicting what seemed like a highly unconventional love story. In reality, we’ve already started down this road. Delving into the human psyche The online dating industrty is worth more tha...

Get A Boyfriend – 5 Tell-Tale Signs You’re More Than Friends

Are you tired of being single and wish you could get a boyfriend? Is there someone you like but can't tell if you're more than friends? Most relationships are built on friendship, which entails trust and respect. You may be buddies now but somewhere along the way, your friendship develops into something more-something deeper and more romantic.

“Autofellatio” What Does Such A Bizarre And Convoluted Word Actually Mean?

Why do doctors use such unfamiliar words? Really, why do they use words that the majority of us can't understand and are unfamiliar with? Why are such professions, such as Medicine and Law, filled with words that are derived from Greek and Latin origins? Using such words makes it difficult for normal, every-day people - such as you and me - to understand what people in these types of fields are actually talking about. For instance, in medicine do you know what an "acute, inner-inflammatory reaction of the greater auricular fold" is? This means that you have an ear ache. You have to love it. We just can't call it an "ear ache." No, that would be too easy and would give us away. We have to call it something that no one has a clue as to what it means. This cryptic nonsense exists for a r...

What We Don’t Understand About Young People’s Motivations

Young people are demanding change. In the last few days, young Indigenous activists and their supporters blocked parliamentarians in Victoria, B.C., from accessing the provincial legislature and led waves of protest across the country. For some young people, climate change is urgent. For others, gun violence is a crisis. From truth and reconciliation to inclusion and diversity and mental health, young people are bringing awareness to societal crises and making headlines along the way. Historically, this is really nothing new. Young people have long been leaders and catalysts of important movements. Unfortunately, these change-makers are often thought to be outside of what is considered typical of this age group. Young people are often labelled problematic, selfish or not yet ready to le...

Want A Satisfying Relationship? Don’t Present Yourself As A Sex Object

When Joan Holloway – the bombshell office worker on the show “Mad Men” – enters a room, she knows she looks good and is going to turn heads. Every morning, Joan meticulously does her makeup and hair and puts on a skintight dress. The men in her office take notice and are quick with the catcalls and sexual comments. Rather than becoming embarrassed or angry, for the most part Joan finds the attention invigorating. Her hourglass figure is a source of power that she wields intentionally. Male attention is welcome and men’s reactions seem largely innocuous. But her male co-workers’ reactions are objectifying and ultimately may not produce the empowerment Joan desires. Objectification occurs when one person treats another like a thing or commodity, ignoring his or her humanity and dignity. Ob...
