Perfect Small Romantic Gestures to Make an Impression on Women

Grand gestures are great in the movies. But, in the real world with kids, bills, jobs and housework, everyday romance is better than any single gesture of love. Romance starts with the little things. Until you get that ironed down, all the sweeping gestures will fall flat. That is not to say they will not work. A fat, 10 carat, pink diamond will give the relationship a boost. But, unless you play for the NBA and are prepared to pull out your black card every few months, it is best to iron down the basics.

***The Number One Sexual Attractor

Recently, I came across some stunning actual scientific findings from evolutionary psychology regarding a man’s ability to attract and date quality women who are right for them. After all, men worldwide want to find what works for them to become more accomplished in this area; to actually have some control and power over their lives. What a downer it would be to find that two genetic or physical features of one's constitution matter more than anything else. One of the traits was a relatively large attractor, though not the top one. It was the characteristic of sheer, physical height.

How Loss can Lead to Spiritual Awakening

Loss causes us to ask the tough questions, “Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? It sends us on a journey of self exploration and discovery. It causes us to question the nature of reality. Who we thought we were is no longer. All that we knew to be true, all of our assumptions about life, are tossed into the air where they float in the void of the unknown, then re-organize and create a new picture…a picture of beauty, richness, color and texture.

Basically, the answer is "no." Here's how I came to that conclusion: I recently read a “tweet” on Twitter stating “Unconditional love is given by dogs & sought by children. Adults get what they get.” I was immediately prompted to “tweet” back, “Love is never unconditional. It should always be conditioned on respect, caring, loyalty, & making sure you get it back in return.” When I talk with singles who are frustrated in their search for a committed relationship, the demand for “unconditional love” frequently comes up.
