One thing you can do to enhance the chances that you can find love online, or that you can meet a man or woman who will share your life and your love and make you happy, is to write a great profile. A profile that stands out will intrigue a few women and make them want to find out who the guy behind that profile can offer to them. Accordingly, here are some online dating description examples for men to help you in that regard, if you are a man. 1. Let The Women Know What You Love And Why You Love It Show what you like instead of just stating it or just telling it. It will give the women who visit your profile the impression that you are an interesting guy who is communicative and who likes having fun. Research also shows that showing what you love makes women feel that you are an adventurous guy who can make them have fun and they are more likely to send you a message so that you can connect. Additionally, let the women know why you love what you love. It will give them a dee...

As a psychotherapist I work with many couples that come to the office seeking some type of sexual healing from years of silence and brewing thoughts. One of my first questions is; how much is sex a subject of conversation? Puzzled, they often look at me and say lately a lot, because there are problems but at the beginning we never did. That is what I call hitting the nail on the head. The less you talk about SEX in the present the more it will become a problem in the future. Studies done by Sandra Byers consistently observed that sexual communication is one of the most important factors in regards to sexual satisfaction and sexual well-being. In other words, those individuals that talk more openly about their sexual preferences to their partners, likes and dislikes report a greater sexual happiness. Disclosure about your preference informing your partner what you like or don't like sexual and vice versa. This is very important because everyone is different and what works for on...

Much has been said about the benefits of sex for both men and women. Sex is considered as an exercise if it is done regularly. The truth is, it doesn't matter how old you are, sex is a gift to humanity if done with the right person and at the right time. Besides the health benefits that come with sex for men, men enjoy sex more than a woman. It is easy for women to live without sex but it's a big challenge for men. One thing however is very clear; men enjoy it more as compared to women. There is more benefit too of having regular sex for men when compared to women. Regular sex for men is not only a physical exercise, but it saves them a lot in terms of health. It regulates Homocysteine levels in the body which is a dangerous chemical in the blood and can easily trigger life-threatening cardiac problems. Other than regulating the Homocysteine hormone, sex helps in blood circulation in men. This is not the case with women. There are many health conditions that are triggered by...

With a clean bill of health and tons of advice from your OB/GYN, sex during pregnancy is a green light. Intercourse is safe for both the mother and baby. There is a mucus plug in the cervix and amniotic fluid in the uterus to protect your baby from infection. The uterus also has muscles strong enough to withstand shock from intercourse. The experience will have to change, however, since the underpinnings of the baby bump and the mother's comfort are to be factored in. Pregnancy sex is hobbled by the tawdry reality that you have to make a compromise for it to be a mutual feeling. The sex positions have to be adapted to make things as comfortable as possible for the mother. As you progress through the trimesters, the positions have to remain innovative and adventurous. In the first trimester, for instance, ladies are well lubricated and experience a surge in hormones. As a consequence, the libido is heightened, and anything can go in this period. The following positions can m...

Although the adult film industry would have people believe that a real man can spend hours having sex without ejaculating, the truth is that such men are definitely exceptions rather than the rule. (And, of course, when a man is actually engaged in sex, there isn't always the option of stopping for a little while to let the urge to ejaculate lessen.) Still, men take it as a source of pride when they can "last long" while in bed - and consequently often feel ashamed when they "shoot quickly," that is experience premature ejaculation. Even men who practice exceptional penis care may have an issue with premature ejaculation - and so it is a subject of concern to many. How widespread? But just how common is premature ejaculation? There have been quite a few studies on the subject. Not surprisingly, the answers vary. For example, a 2006 study referenced that worldwide 30% of men experienced premature ejaculation. However, a study from a year earlier quoted a ...

The way I see it (perceive it) is that only LOVE will save our souls, our lives, our nation and our world. I know it seems as if I have blinders on, like I am looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Maybe I am, maybe that is the way we heal, the way we make amends, the way we discover our wholeness of being. As we align with the vibration of our Creator and we become the frequency of LOVE we allow ourselves to perceive this world with different eyes. Today I was going through one of my journals looking for specific notes from an interaction. What I found was the inspiration for another article. This is what I wrote in my journal entry: The energy of 317 a path to transformation... I sit here contemplating these papers, the messages, the cards and the warnings, I understand that it was all a path. What do I need and who do I need to tell me that I am enough? What and why do I continue to hold on to things and ideas which are "Fear Based", that tell me ...

Many of us will have watched the Real Housewives series of programmes or seen the press and magazine coverage of their antics and lifestyles. The stories of these 'real housewives' and WAGs may fill us with a mixture of horror, envy and disdain as we view their reported choices and excessive ways, particularly as they're often seen as role models for young girls. We may speculate that their more outrageous behaviour is done to maintain public attention and help reinforce their celebrity status. But if we dig a little below the surface, behind the glamour and glitz, we can see that real housewives have their own concerns, worries and issues. Indeed, some are living out personal crises, making life-changing decisions and even using their time on the show to raise their public profile and gain exposure for their own existing businesses. Oftentimes 'Real Housewives' can appear detached from reality and normality, living in a continual flurry of visits to expensive...

A professional biography or overview, showcasing your background, experience and expertise, is a necessity for every business owner. This often overlooked marketing tool is an excellent way to introduce you and your business to potential clients and possible strategic business partners. Potentially, it might open up opportunities for speaking engagements, radio or television interviews, or a feature print article. While any information about you and your business is helpful, information that is presented in a professional, well-polished manner can make all the difference in how others perceive you. Consider these important points as you craft your own professional biography. 1. One page wonder. Your professional biography should be a few paragraphs and kept to one page or less. One page is perfect for copying on the reverse side of a handout or flyer. Several paragraphs, left justified make it easier to read and skim. 2. First, second, or third person? Always write your biogr...

What is an author platform? An author platform focuses on who you are as the author, and how many people you influence. It is what you represent. It is what comes to mind when people hear your name. There are four components to building a platform as an author. Authors should think of themselves in the same way as celebrities do. Becoming famous does not happen overnight. In fact, you don't become famous without having a following. And you can't have a following without first having a presence. People have to come to know you as an author. They must encounter your brand in order to get to you. Many new authors tend to believe that the only thing they need to focus on is writing the book; when that is so far from the truth. As an author, yes, you must write books; but, you also have to think about how you are going to get in front of the people who matter the most to your career: your readers. What are the four components to building your platform as an author? 1. ...

Google has updated the help page for its Location History feature to acknowledge the fact that the company still tracks users through use of its services like Google Maps, weather updates, and browser searches, according to a  report from the  Associated Press . As noted by the  AP ,  the help page for the Location History setting  has been updated to clarify that “This setting does not affect other location services on your device,” and that “some location data may be saved as part of your activity on other services, like Search and Maps.” “SOME LOCATION DATA MAY BE SAVED” AP  had previously reported that Google was still tracking users who had disabled the Location History feature earlier this week, noting that while the company had originally claimed that “With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored,” in reality all that was happening was that Google was no longer adding user’s locations and movements to its Timelin...

I'm planning to start this out anonymously, because I'm still not sure how controversial I'm going to get, and how much trouble I may conceivably get myself into. Depending on how things turn out, I may decide to reveal my identity at some later point. Just to give a little context though, I'm currently a first year graduate student at a well-known West Coast university in the US. My field of interest is the burgeoning systems biology, although my definition and vision of it are somewhat different than the typical sys. bio. pitch. Given my scientific orientation this blog will naturally cater to topics of that sort. Nonetheless, I'd like to think that my interests are fairly broad, and so I will touch upon many things beside science, particularly politics, business, technology, and maybe a little bit of philosophy and religion. One thing, or class of things, that I know absolutely nothing about is popular culture. So no sports, music, celebrities, etc. I do watch th...

So this was a long time coming... Not to say I wasn't surprised--I think everyone was, including Hamas itself. Nonetheless, in retrospect it does seem like it was only inevitable. On the whole I think I'm generally happy that this has happened. Not because I support terrorism--I don't. Nor because I want Islamic fundamentalism to spread in the region--I sure as hell don't. But Palestine needed a change,  some  change, and this is better than nothing. ... The media has been spinning this in an interesting way, making it sound like it was only a reaction against Fatah, as opposed to an attraction toward Hamas. There's some truth to that--Fatah is corrupt and incompetent, and the Palestinians know that all too well. But the driving reason appears to be the Palestinians' desire for resistance, and for a government that represents their desire for this resistance. They're sick and tired of being subjugated and oppressed, and have decided that resistance is the on...

My last post got me thinking about what I meant by the terms 'terrorism' and 'resistance'. Militant Palestinian actions are always portrayed as terrorism in the US, without a critical assessment of whether Palestinians hold the right to at least some forms of resistance, and if so whether the actions of various Palestinian organizations including Hamas constitute terror. First, let's take up the issue of resistance. I will assert that if a person considers the US' war on Iraq to have been legal, then that person, to maintain consistency of thought, must also hold that Palestinians have the legal right to militant resistance. I am deliberately using the term legal, as I'm not sure if violent action of any kind is ethically justifiable. That is an altogether different, and far more difficult, issue. But again, conditional on your judgment of the US war as legal, then the Palestinians also have a legal right to resistance. The argument is quite simple really, a...

I’m going to venture out of my own field, which is probably a bad idea, but I think I have something somewhat sensible to say. I doubt the following is novel—I suspect it has been suggested by others well before me, at least in some formulation. Nonetheless, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the following argument stated in this way, so it’s probably worthwhile presenting it. For starters let me come clean and state what my conclusion will be: We will never reduce physics to a single theory. There will be many possible candidates, all of which happen to be consistent with the best experimental resolution that we can get, but we will have no way of telling which is the ‘real’ one and which are mere candidates. The major assumption of this argument will be a belief in the Church-Turing thesis. If you don’t buy that, then this discussion is essentially moot. If you do buy it (and I’m not going to delve into the Thesis here—there are good books on the subject out there), then the question b...

For the newspapers that published this, the following could have been included: We consider the following images to be bigoted. We do not endorse the content of these images, but show them in support of the principle that speech, of all kind, is protected. Bigotry may sometimes be the price we pay for this freedom, but it remains a much lower price than that of freedom itself.
