What Is A Pre-Opener

Not every seduction guide discusses how to pick up women during the daytime, but it's extremely important. It's the same game, but with slightly different rules. A great daytime tactic for pick-ups is the pre-opener. Pre-openers work really well with daytime pick-ups because women during the daytime aren't always in social mode. They may even be so preoccupied with what they're thinking or doing that they won't hear you. She may be just on autopilot. First, you've got to get her into a talkative state. A good way to do this is to ask her a question that only a jerk would ignore. For example, ask her where there's an ATM or Starbucks around here. Launching straight into something more complex is probably going to confuse her and take her off-guard in a bad way. The pre-opener's function...

Kissing In A Dream Isn’t Always What You Think

We humans show our affection and love for one another, and our passion through a kiss. A kiss can soothe, calm and even magically heal -a child will feel all better after their boo-boo is kissed. In many cultures, but especially in Western cultures, a kiss is often the most intimate physical expression, sometimes considered more intimate even than sexual intercourse. It's pretty much common knowledge that prostitutes rarely kiss their clients on the mouth. This is because the kiss is recognized as a show of love and tenderness, and the services provided by a working girl (or guy) is little more than a business transaction. In Christian societies, a kiss may also be an act of betrayal, such as the betrayal of Christ by the kiss of Judas. A kiss may also mark the beginning of the end of som...

Here’s The Psychology Of A Romantic Relationship That Expands The Self – Partnering Up Can Help You Grow As An Individual

It’s common to want to become a better version of yourself. Much like the desires to eat, drink and avoid harm, human beings also experience a fundamental need to learn, grow and improve – what psychologists call self-expansion. Consider your favorite activities. Things like reading a book, spending time in nature, volunteering with a new organization, taking a class, traveling, trying a new restaurant, exercising or watching a documentary all broaden the self. Those experiences add new knowledge, skills, perspectives and identities. When who you are as a person expands, you enhance your competence and capabilities and increase your ability to meet new challenges and accomplish new goals. Of course, you can achieve self-expansion on your own by trying new and interesting activities (like p...

Skinny Girls Are For Wimps – Men Who Love BBWs

You might think the title of this article alludes to the fact that a larger woman might require a physically strong man in order to handle her ample charms, but you would be quite wrong. In our popular culture, the media worships the beautiful, perfectly made-up, perfectly-coiffed, perfectly-dressed, THIN woman! Our current standard of beauty is based on super models, actresses, musical artists, reality TV stars, all for the most part very thin women. With the overwhelming amount of these images bombarding us every day, the message seems clear: women who do not fit this standard of beauty are unattractive, unloveable, and unacceptable. All BBWs have at one time or another felt the pressure of trying to conform to this ideal. Fad diets, excessive exercising, diuretics, and questionable di...

‘Bromosexual’ Friendships – An Emerging Science

For a long time, friendships between gay men and straight men – what some now call “bromosexual” friendships – were uncommon. Homophobia was likely one reason; another was that straight men probably assumed they didn’t have much in common with gay men. But lately, “bromosexual” friendships have started to receive more attention, acceptance and interest. They’re being explored and depicted in movies, books and blogs. In October, The New York Times even devoted an article in their Style section to “The Rise of the ‘Bromosexual’ Friendship.” This sort of normalization is good news. But social scientists still haven’t studied the dynamics of these friendships: why they develop and how they’re maintained. We’re part of a team of community, evolutionary and social psychologists that has recen...

Is It Really Empowering For A Women To Make The First Move?

Heterosexual dating conventions have long held that men make the first move: first to flirt, first to ask out on a date, first to propose. What if the roles were reversed? That’s what one dating app, Bumble, has tried to do. Bumble brands itself as a feminist dating app that’s designed to empower women. According to Bumble’s website, the app was developed to “challenge the antiquated rules of dating” by requiring those who identify as women to initiate communication with men they match with. With over 100 million users as of 2020, Bumble is one of the most popular dating apps on the market, and in interviews I conducted with over 100 people about online dating in my “Connecting Digitally” study, more than half reported using Bumble. But my research shows that Bumble, despite purporting to ...

How To Find A Penfriend

Finding a snail mail pen friend used to be quite straight forward. All one had to do was to check out the personal columns of news papers and magazines and write to any pen pal clubs who had their adverts there but the internet changed all that.

What can be more personal than receiving a handwritten letter through the post? So how does one make the initial contact when there are so few in any correspondence clubs advertised in the newspapers? The most obvious answer to that is to do a Google search of pen f...

Does Someone Always Have To Win?

The words sound inviting enough. 'Darling, it's a lovely day, let's go for a bike ride in the country'. But what starts out as a pleasant few hours together may all too quickly turn sour if one person can't bear to come 'second' and is in desperate need of being the fastest, fittest, always having to win every stretch of the journey. You may remember coverage of the race where the runner in second position saw the person in front of him stop, clearly thinking that he'd crossed the finishing line. Not wanting to win the race that way he pushed the man in front over the finish line, afterwards saying he felt that it was the right thing to do. How exhausting is it when someone always has to be right and win? - Some people always need to have the last word, not realizing that over time th...
