Love at first sight?

Love at first sight?
by: Rion Williams

Yes, men think so...or is it 'lust' at first sight? How can a woman or man 'really' know? If a woman thinks it is 'love at first sight', she may have found an incredibly 'hot' guy who matches her ideal social persona 'catch'. If this guy actually knows how to be a natural, all women will want him and she will have to fight with others to 'keep him' (I can teach you to be this man). Otherwise most of them appear to be quite boring because they try to impress her and don't 'get it'. But when dealing with 'love at first sight', yes it might be, but then longer term dynamics start to sink in and kind of spoil it.Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder, I mean, beholder.'Love at first sight' is usually only perceptionally based if not in its entirety. No one can match up ideally to one person's expectation of who they are or who they should be. Once you find out more about them, you're going to be disappointed in what you thought they were. See how selfish we as people really are?!Eventually you go through the hardships of a 'real' relationship and very very rarely will everything work out perfectly where the people are a real match (at least in our highly developed, opinionated, individualistic cultural society).You are only throwing your perception or ideals on who you think that person is or should be (I have done this a lot in the past). We want a person to be the ideal match to what WE think they should be. Most often if not all the time, we find out they are not actually what we idealized and then are a little disappointed. A real relationship is going to take a lot of work and a lot more work than two 'simpler' people.If you can spark attraction shortly after you meet a woman, there is a more realistic chance she will feel deeper emotions for you than her social persona (of what states what she says she wants) and she will often forgive your other misgivings as long as you understand natural attraction. This is actually very generous of her because now, guys (way) below her level physically actually have a chance. The process of attraction is slightly different for men and women. Men will often instantly disqualify women for a sexual relationship based on their looks (ahem), while women keep an open mind to see who knows how to make them 'feel' the feelings that they respond to so powerfully physiologically and emotionally. They are interested in a mans character attributes because that are things that can be of interest for the long haul.These feelings have a biological root which she cannot choose or control. This is why an average looking guy who 'get's it' can have more of a chance than a good looking guy who easily proves himself wrong to her right away. She will resent that most of her counterparts do not 'get it' yet but will be open to starting something with a man who finally can just 'lead her through' the natural process of attraction...then often sex 'just happened' or she got 'swept away'..this is the way it is supposed to be and that she fantasizes about (and reads in those sappy romance novels).Don't be thrown off by what a woman says she wants if you are not that social reflection of her consciousness yourself, she is programmed biologically to react to men who are true naturals with her or who display aspects of being a natural. Do not let that stop you. Her biological inheritance (when in tandem with a true natural man) will override ANY social programming she may have, as long as he maintains true congruency and doesn't 'screw it up'. If you are a natural you probably won't screw it up when you are reaching that part of her (there is much more leniency here). If you are 'walking on egg shells' by trying to be 'qualified' by her social persona, it's virtually a guarantee you'll screw it up even with any small move. Take the very ending of 'Boat Trip' where Roselyn Sanchez says to the wussy Cuba Gooding, Jr. character, "Ok, but you BETTER not screw it up." Sure the movie ends with a kiss but who has the control here? Whose reality is he in? Love at first sight, but he is based in the wrong paradigm of 'being' that he WILL screw it up because of the power dynamics and several other factors (she is in control by far).In fact, you will almost put aside the entire notion of 'love at first sight' because it's too romancey for you (although you may secretly keep that dream alive); but you understand reality a little more, that different relationships with different women are going to give you different experiences. Of course you may be aware of lust at first sight with women you see most everywhere you go, but you really have to get to know her more to find out who she is, otherwise it is all just perception.If you can develop yourself to look as good as you can and get your internal paradigm and life straight and clear, then you can naturally accelerate the process of attracting women and starting things with little effort. Your focus should really be on developing yourself and living in a natural paradigm, while denying all of the perceptual B.S. that is going on. Be an interesting and intriguing man and improve yourself; HAVE something to offer women who are lucky enough.Your 'love at first sight' from their point of view only happens if you match their social ideal (and traditional ideal of Prince Charming) and then know how to take everything from there...then all women will want you. You do not have to be Prince Charming..that is another article, but remember how you relate to her says everything. She needs to be turned up like a volume knob and you have to interact with her to spark the process of sexual attraction and her interest will grow in you...through time, may lead to infatuation, love, great respect, devotion, passion, etc. from her.It is all in how you relate to her so don't pay too much attention to having to have Brad Pitt looks, with Soros' bank account...that's the same as you wanting to date a supermodel, except you probably have a better chance than she does to meet your ideal because there are so few men left who really get it and are a great catch in their own right (with some nice social status to boot). There are countless beautiful women. The advantage and favor is in YOUR hands. There are few men left who are awesome catches AND who know how to deal with these women. Make women want you just by being your true self at all times; an interesting, funny, great guy and know how to take it from there (I can help you there as well).

Are Obese Women Getting Short-Changed By Chemotherapy Treatments?

Are Obese Women Getting Short-Changed By Chemotherapy Treatments?
by: Naweko San-Joyz

How much chemotherapy does an obese woman need? Typically an obese woman with breast cancer would receive reduced doses of chemotherapy as they battle breast cancer. Back in June of 2005, a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine concluded that obese women should receive chemotherapy based on their actual women, and not in reduced as amounts as it the standard practice. And now again a study presented in the August 2005 edition of Lancet claims that doctors should not reduce chemotherapy doses for obese women when no receptors for the hormone oestrogen have been found on the breast cancer cells. This type of cancer is called oestrogen-receptor negative.Clinicians often reduce chemotherapy doses for obese patients because of worries about how the treatment may react with the patient and affect their overall health. According to the study’s director Marco Colleoni of the European Institute of Oncology, Italy, and his colleagues, reducing the first course of chemotherapy for obese patients with oestrogen-receptor negative breast cancer proves “detrimental”.Colleoni and his team looked at the relation between body-mass index (BMI), chemotherapy dose reduction, oestrogen receptor expression, and outcome for pre-menopausal women with breast cancer by examining data from four randomized trials. They found that 97 out of 249 obese patients received less than protocol specified dose during the first course of chemotherapy compared with patients with normal and intermediate BMI. Obese patients with oestrogen-receptor negative disease that received 85 more of the first protocol specified dose had significantly better disease-free survival and overall survival than those who received less than the normally recommended dosage. Yet, obese patients with oestrogen-receptor positive breast cancer who had reduced doses of chemotherapy did not have a significant difference in their outcome compared with those given the recommended chemotherapy doses. And contrary to popular practice, the researchers also noticed that obese patients initially treated with protocol doses of chemotherapy did not have more toxicity than patients who received reduced doses.Dr Marco Colleoni concluded that, “Our findings suggest that for women with ER-absent or ER-low tumours, reduction in chemotherapy dose should be avoided.”The message for obese women coping with cancer is to be aware of your risks and rights. Ask your doctor will she recommend lower doses of chemotherapy for you based on your weight and ask why.Resource: Lancet, Archives of Internal Medicine

10 Situations where Men and Women Differ So Much!

10 Situations where Men and Women Differ So Much!

by: Jeff Cuckson

Joke from a Woman to another Woman "Some husbands are living proof that a woman can take a joke!"Joke from a Man to another Man; "Men are Vain, They will check themselves out in the mirror. However women are ridiculous; they will check their reflections in any shiny surface, mirrors, spoons, shop windows."Then why do YOU think women misunderstand men and vice-versa? One basic fact of life. Women and men are different. I am not talking about their physical attributes, but in their attitudes to relationships.I am a man, writing this article. I have tried to be fair, but can I tell you ladies, I just can't understand you most of the time. But I am sure that most of you would answer, that you can't understand us men.I have been guilty of most of the attitudes listed, especially the shopping which I hate. Therefore to go a little way in imparting some understanding, here are 10 situations where the thinking of men and women go in opposite directions;

1) ANGER: When Anger or another problem enters a relationship A woman will want to repair the situation or problem before any sex. A man will think that making love will make it all right again.

2) TOUCHING: For women touching without sex is comforting and very soothing. They find that the touching gives a warm feeling of security. However for men touching without sex can easily be misunderstood and he can even feel threatened.Please understand that when men touch each other, it is in a rough manner. They slap or punch each other on the back. Tender touching makes many men feel vulnerable and dependent. These have been seen by men to be un masculine. Men find it uncomfortable with so much closeness. It makes them feel vulnerable.However women are not comfortable without this type of intimacy.

3) TELEPHONE: Men use the telephone or mobile phone as a communication device. It is to send short messages to each other.However women see the telephone differently. They use it to keep in touch with their friends supporting, helping and growing relationships. They are more interested in people and feelings than objects such as telephones and the latest video games.

4) SEX: When it comes to foreplay, women prefer 40-45 minutes of foreplay. However men on the other hand prefer 40-45 seconds of foreplay before sex

5) GOING OUT: When a man says he is ready to go out, it means he is ready to go out. However when a woman says she is ready to go out, it means she is ready, as soon as she finds her other piece of jewellery and makes just one more phone call.

6) SHOPPING: Women can shop all day and enjoy the whole experience. Its a chance to talk. They use talk to build and sustain connections with others. However men just want finish and close the situation. Its their nature. One can view this difference anytime with couples in shopping malls.

7) BATHROOMS: A man has on average around 5-6 items in his bathroom. A woman on the other hand has over 200 items in her bathroom. Make no attempt to ask a man to identify all these items.

8) DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to go shopping, gardening, answer the phone, or get the post. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

9) CHILDREN: A woman knows all about her children. She knows about doctors and dentists appointments. All their friends, their favorite and not so favorite foods, plus their secret fears and their hopes and dreams. Most men, though not as many as years ago, are aware of some short people sharing the home.

10) TOYS: Little girls love to play with toys. Then when they reach the age of approximately 12, they seem to lose the interest. However, men NEVER grow out of their obsession with toys. As they get older, the toys simply get more expensive. One shopping channel has a section called "Big Boys Toys."

Planning Schedule For Your Designer Prom Dress

Planning Schedule For Your Designer Prom Dress

by Robin OBrien

Just about every girl dreams about Prom but, as the big day approaches, many start to suffer from nerves. This is almost always because they've left things to the last minute. Here are some tips about when to start looking, when to buy, when to find accessories, when to order flowers and when to plan all the other numerous details involved in getting your designer prom dress to look perfect for Prom.
3 Months Before Prom
You really need to start looking now for your designer prom dress; ideally you should have started sooner. It's important to have an idea of what designer you like best and what style will best complement your body shape: Are you a glamorous Jovani prom dress girl, or a modest Tiffany prom dress girl? Choosing the perfect gown is what should take the most time; so start thinking ahead early. Tip: try and find as many of the accessories at the same time you choose your dress. Many online retailers provide a pretty comprehensive list of suggested items that will beautifully accessorize a particular dress.
2 Months Before Prom
This is the time to actually buy the gown. You need to allow for delivery time - this can take several weeks. Also, don't assume that because you buy a designer prom dress online that the delivery will be quicker; it won't. You also need to buy now so that you'll have plenty of time to make any minor adjustments that are necessary.
1 Month Before Prom
If you've ordered as scheduled above, you should now have received your gown. You can now make any adjustments that are needed. If you haven't already got all the accessories you need, go out and find them now! Do not leave this to the last minute; finding tiaras, jewelry, gloves, handbags, shoes and the countless other items takes time. Decide on the hairstyle you want. If you're doing it yourself, now is the time to try out the style to see if it matches the overall theme. If you're going to a stylist, make an appointment now, again to test out the style, and book a second appointment just before Prom; don't forget that this is a busy time of year for hairdressers, so book early. Lastly, don't forget about makeup. Test out various lipsticks, mascaras etc, so you're sure which shades will complement your dress as well as your own coloring.
2 Weeks Before Prom
Call or visit a florist to order a boutonniere for your date that complements your dress. Make sure your date has ordered a corsage for you; don't assume that he'll have done this.
1 Week Before Prom
It's time for a final dress rehearsal. Put on your designer prom dress and accessories and do a final check that everything is as it should be. Tip: have a friend take some pictures of you from several angles; that way you can be really sure that everything looks perfect. It's important to test walking around in your new shoes; walk up and down the stairs for practice and to check on comfort. Make sure that you have all the makeup you need, if not, buy it now. Reconfirm your appointment with your hair stylist.
1 Day Before Prom
Check your camera is working. Pick up your date's boutonniere from the florist. Check that your handbag/purse has everything you need. You'll want breath freshener, lipstick, perfume, makeup compact for minor touch-ups, cell phone and anything else you might need.
Prom Day
It often helps to do a little bit of exercise in the morning to help you feel fresh and slimmer. Use a pore-refining mask in the morning so your skin looks and feels fresh. Make sure you turn up on time to your hair stylist. Wear a loose shirt that can be later removed without ruining your hair and makeup. Leave putting on your designer prom dress for as long as possible, until you're ready to leave home.
Prom Night
This is your special day so savor each and every moment of it.

Self Esteem for Women

Self Esteem for Women

by Katrina Wilton

"Would you consider yourself someone with high self esteem, or low self esteem?" The natural reaction when asked a question like this may well be "high self esteem of course!", but the truth may paint a very different picture.
Self esteem for women, especially, seems to be generally lower than it should be, and unfortunately far too often accompanied by poor body image. Why then are so many women subject to this deprecating state of mind? Perhaps it comes back to the natural laws of femininity. You see, a woman in her natural, feminine state has an in-built desire to radiate beauty. It's the very reason that we women wear make-up, shave our legs, wax our eyebrows, love to shop, etc.
If that desire for beauty extended to finding that which we already have, it would be an absolute blessing. Unfortunately however, the unhealthy side of that desire for beauty, is in seeking it externally and creating unhealthy comparisons to others.
This damaging act of comparison is concerning enough in its own right, but consider who we are really comparing ourselves against. Whether consciously or not, we are most certainly using the media images that we're constantly bombarded with as a benchmark for what is the 'right' size, body shape or look.
The problem with that is this; the women in the media - actresses, singers, models, etc - are in front of the camera for a living! Their livelihood revolves around how good they look with their faces and bodies featured up close and personal on giant screens around the world. I'm certain just about anyone in the same position would make it an absolute priority to ensure there isn't a scrap of fat to be seen, or a single hair out of place. They have the money, the resources and, most importantly, extreme motivation to ensure that this standard is always maintained - and all too often at the cost of their health.
The other problem with using the media as a benchmark can be found in the simple act of picking up a magazine. It only takes a quick flip through the pages of any women's fashion magazine to make even a woman with great self esteem feel like a fat pig! Between the scarily thin catwalk models, and the lighting, make up, good photography, and of course airbrushing and photoshop techniques, the end result is that we find ourselves envying a picture of a woman who isn't even real.
In fact, for a wonderful example of what's involved in creating the finished look of a model in a print advertisement, I highly encourage you to watch the video that Dove put together as part of their Campaign for Real Beauty.
Naturally none of this is to say that we shouldn't care about our appearance, or enjoy making ourselves look and feel beautiful, but simply that if we must peg ourselves against a benchmark, perhaps we should consider someone more realistic.
It's so important to keep ourselves healthy from the inside out, and that includes our mind... Don't let these unrealistic images of beauty fool you into thinking you're not good enough the way you are.
My tip for this is to make a list of everything you like about yourself from the inside out. In fact, one exercise I did was to go through my body parts one by one and write down why I loved them. I can assure you that when I got to my thighs, I found it a little challenging, but I managed to come up with how much I love that they are strong and carry me wherever I want to go!
Don't let the negative thoughts creep in, they are like a cancer for your mind... find reasons to love everything about who you are, in all your fabulous individuality!

Great Skin Made Easy (Oily/Acne-Prone Skin)

Great Skin Made Easy (Oily/Acne-Prone Skin)

by Saigon

So, you probably have already tried oodles of products to see what works best for your oily, slightly harrowing skin. I'm sure if your medicine cabinet looks anything like mine, you have spent a small fortune on skin care and ways to tame the oil and breakouts. Well, while brainstorming with my team, I found out that I am not the only one who faces battle (no pun intended) every time I go to the store to find products that work for oily skin. Below are a few of the regimens my other oily skin, acne-prone colleagues and I use and swear by. I hope you can find a regimen in here that works just right for you too! Beauty on a Budget (Routines less than $25)--Drugstore.com Neutrogena Cleanser: Rapid Clear Oil-Control Foaming Cleanser (6 oz.) $7.39 Moisturizer: Oil-Free Anti-Acne Moisturizer (1.7 oz.) $6.99 Total: $14.38 -This is a great regimen for someone who wants a no-hassle, no-frills routine that works! I personally use this routine when traveling or when my skin is out of control and quickly needs to be whipped back into shape. The moisturizer is light and non-greasy and the cleanser actually does what it says in preventing excess oil production on your face. Please note, this routine probably works best for those who have oily skin as opposed to actual breakouts.
Clean & Clear Cleanser: Advantage Acne Cleanser (5 oz.) $5.96 Moisturizer: Advantage Oil-Free Acne Moisturizer Salicylic Acne Medication (4 oz.) $6.29 Treatment: Advantage Acne Spot Treatment (0.75 oz.) $5.99 Total: $18.24 -This routine has worked for a few of my team members, but beware it can strip skin of necessary moisture and may burn slightly if overused. From all contributing parties, I gathered that this is a routine that is best used only for a short period of time, probably 4 weeks or less. The moisturizer is a tad bit heavy so only a very small amount is needed and is best applied when the skin is still slightly damp (such as directly after being pat dry from washing).
L'Oreal Cleanser: Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser (6.7 oz.) $5.19 Toner: Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent (6.7 oz.) $5.19 Moisturizer: Pure Zone Skin Relief Oil-Free Moisturizer (2.5 oz.) $5.19 Total: $15.57 -Once again, this is a great routine that I have tried myself. The cleanser is great and so is the astringent. With this regimen, I would also highly recommend using less of the moisturizer, because it is a bit thick. The following instructions detail what I did to get the best results out of this routine: 1) Wash face with lukewarm water + cleanser 2) Pat face dry, and make sure there is no excess moisture left on the skin 3) Let face air dry further for about 20 seconds 4) Apply a dime-size amount of the astringent onto a cotton ball and swab face gently (you don't need a lot of astringent for it to work, so don't try and over saturate your face with astringent, this will leave a sticky residue behind if you do.) 5) Let astringent dry on face for about 1 minute, this will allow face to dry but still be slightly damp. 6) Apply a half a dime-size amount of moisturizer to face, in an even layer.
Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Kit, Daily Face Care Kit for Oily/Impure Skin $21.95 Total: $21.95 -Tried this one on an impulse buy and was pleasantly surprised by the results, this product line is great because they use organic extracts and no synthetic additives. Definitely worth a try.
Mid-Range Beauty (Routines less than $75)--Beauty.com Dr, Brandt Kit: Poreless Essentials Kit $55.00 Total: $55.00
Juice Beauty Kit: Organics to Clear Skin Kit $39.00 Total: $39.00
skyn ICELAND Kit: Detox Kit for Stressed Skin $35.00 Total: $35.00
Beauty Beyond a Budget (Routines over $100)--Beauty.com Peter Thomas Roth A.M. Cleanser: Beta Hydroxy Acid 2% Acne Wash (8 oz.) $35.00 Moisturizer: Environmental Repair Hydrating Gel (2 oz.) $40.00
P.M. Cleanser: Botanical Buffing Beads (8 oz.) $36.00 Treatment: AHA/BHA Acne Clearing Gel (2 oz.) $45.00 Total: $156.00 -A routine gotten from a beauty consultant at ULTA, in two words, THIS ROCKS! This treatment is used by several people I know. It is a two part routine that brings great results. If you are very sensitive to moisturizer, this routine is especially great for you. The lightweight gels are a very effective alternative to cream-based moisturizers and feel virtually weightless on.
Dr. Brandt Cleanser: Poreless Cleanser (8 oz.) $35.00 Toner: Poreless Tone (8 oz.) $35.00 A.M. Treatment: Poreless Gel (1.7 oz.) $55.00 Moisturizer: Poreless Moisture (3.5 oz.) $42.00 Maintaining Moisture Throughout the day: Pores No More (1 oz.) $45.00 P.M. Treatment: Poreless Pore Effect (1.7 oz.) $55.00 Total: $267.00
-For the woman who likes all the bells and whistles to her skincare routine! This regimen is not for the rookie but the woman well-versed in products application and how to effectively layer products. The routine has one devout follower on my team who takes her skin and keeping it clear very seriously. To get the best results, I would say read all of the labels to ensure the products are being applied in the correct order and amounts. This one is too complicated for my taste but I have seen the results first hand and can see that it works. BORBA Cleanser: Clarifying Fiber-Knit Facial Cleanser, Pomegranate (6.8 oz.) $18.00 Treatment: Clarifying Fiber-Knit Facial Concentrate, Pomegranate (1.7 oz.) $30.00 A.M. Moisturizer: Clarifying Fiber-Knit Lotion, SPF 15, Pomegranate (3.4 oz.) $25.00 P.M. Moisturizer: Clarifying Fiber-Knit Night Repair Lotion, Pomegranate (3.4 oz.) $27.00 Internal Treatment Clarifying Skin Balance Aqualess Crystalline System, Pomegranate (30 Days) $100.00 Total: $200.00
-If you want to use one of the hottest systems used today, then this is it! BORBA is really effective in targeting the problems areas each product and skin balance water was especially formulated to treat. I have tried and loved this treatment, as do many others on my team. The only downside is the monthly cost.
skyn ICELAND Cleanser: Glacial Facial Wash (5.95 oz.) $30.00 A.M. Treatment: Nordic Skin Peel (60 ea.) $45.00 Moisturizer: The ANTIDOTE Quenching Daily Lotion (1.76 oz.) $45.00 P.M. Treatment: Anti-Blemish Gel (.5 oz.) $25.00 Moisturizer: Oxygen Infusion Night Cream (1.98 oz.) $75.00 Total: $220.00
-A routine that is highly favored by many on my team, and a great fallback when nothing else is working for myself, this regimen has a cooling effect which helps reduce swelling if you are having breakouts. Please note, even though this routine is for oily or acne-prone skin, everyone's skin and tolerance is different. You may need to adjust the "Treatment" in the A.M. or P.M. regimen. Excessive use of the Skin Peel or Anti-Blemish Gel can cause irritation. I would suggest starting with the Nordic Skin Peel about 3 times per week. Go from there, and add or subtract the treatments as you see fit. However, once you get the exact routine that works best for you, you will be amazed at the results of this product. P.S. I am absolutely addicted to the Face Wash.
I hope some of these regimens help you in your quest for perfect skin. It is a daily battle that can be won; it just takes persistence, patience, and drinking lots of water! And remember, everyone is different, though some of these regimens have worked well for my team and I, it doesn't mean you will necessarily have the same great results. I wish all of you the best and know that you are not in the battle alone!
