Dating Advice for Men - How to Text a Girl You Like

So, you managed to be awesome enough to snag a hottie’s digits and you’re ready for the next step: initiating conversation through text! Let’s make sure you’re using it effectively by building attraction, instead of killing it!

How to Text a Girl You Like

Texting is great for getting to know girls and helping them to become more comfortable with you. With this great tool for many positive outcomes, it can also be a tool for many negative outcomes as well, if used incorrectly. While reading this post, try and keep in mind your texting habits and see what you’re excelling in and what could use some work. When it comes to dating and becoming more effective with girls, you have to be brutally honest with yourself.

Let’s start with the basics. These rules are universal in almost every texting circumstance.

1. Don’t respond too quickly. By responding to a text message within minutes of receiving it comes off to the girl that you are “needy”. Needy is the biggest no-no when it comes to dating. Take 10 minutes or longer to respond. A good rule of thumb is to double the time it took for her to respond to your last message. IE, if it took her 10 minutes to respond, wait 20 minutes before you write her back. Taking this extra time has it benefits. Not only are you not coming off as needy, but it makes you seem to busy AND it gives you time to perfectly craft that undeniably witty text message of yours.

Being perceived as busy is good thing. It helps build your value in the sense that you’re actually doing something with your life. There’s nothing exciting about you sitting around all day watching reruns of ‘That’s So Raven’ on the Disney Channel.

2. Keep it short and simple! She doesn’t want to read a novel! It also comes off as needy once again if you’re sending her long text messages too often. If you’re struggling to embrace why long messages come off as needy, think of this… We all know somebody who talks way too much in attempt to seem interesting, but reality, just comes off as annoying. So the more he talks, the more annoyed people get, body language and energy shifts, he soons feels this shift, so he panics and starts talking more… It’s a vicious cycle that ultimately ends with self esteem damage. So, in short, don’t be that guy! Be cool. Be Keith Stone.

3. Always be the first to end the conversation. You’re in control of the conversation and she just so happens to be privileged enough to have it with you. Ultimately, you want to reverse the roles of who’s pursuing who. So keep her on her toes! My favorite thing to do is randomly not respond back — even if the convo is getting really good! A lot of the time she will send another message to keep the conversation going. This is a great sign! Now SHE is the one trying to keep your attention and keep the conversation going even if she doesn’t realize it.

Ending the conversation first also makes you seem like you’re not desperate. Obviously, not seeming desperate is a good thing! It comes off that you’re busy (once again) and that you really couldn’t care less if you talked. She’s AN option, not THE option.

To go along with what was just said, remember: The person that cares the least, has the most power. Now it’s time to show her how much you don’t care.

4. Texting is the means to get you to the ultimate goal. Guys, this should be a no-brainer. The reason you got her number in the first place was so you could segue into eventually meeting up and hopefully reaching your goal. We all have different goals when it comes to attracting women. Some of you are just wanting someone to hookup with, while some of you are looking for a relationship. Whatever your goals are, you’re not going to accomplish them by JUST texting them. There has to be physical interactions.

5. Avoid the “Friend Zone” or being the “Text Buddy” Texting too often with a lot of small chat can quickly lead to the friend zone, especially if you’ve never met in person. Personally, I keep the texting to a minimum. When I text a girl, it’s not because I’m bored, i’m texting her to get her comfortable with me as quickly as I can so we can meet in person. So don’t fall into the trap of you listening to her all her problems text after text. This isn’t helping your chances with her, it’s actually doing the opposite. So if you have to, remind her that you’re not one of her girlfriends and that you don’t want to listen to her complain. I know this sounds rude, but I promise it will help!

K, so back to the texting agenda…

In my mind, the quicker I can meet up with her in person, the quicker she’ll be attracted to me, and the quicker I’ll be to achieving my goals with this girl. Try and set up the meeting early in your conversation. I usually say something to this effect:

“Honestly, texting isn’t my favorite because I feel like I can’t really get to know the real you. How about we get a quick (insert favorite beverage or treat here). Does Friday or Saturday work better for you?”

Let me break down what I just did in this text: A) “I can’t really get to know the real you” I’m making it sound she has more to offer than just words. Girls like this because they think they’re sophisticated… and I guess they are.. B) “how about we a get a quick….” The word ‘quick’ is huge because it will help with any of the uneasiness she might be feeling. C) “Does Friday or Saturday work better for you?” I’m assuming that she’s already going to say yes (confidence!) and I’m still giving her a choice… kinda. I’m giving her two choices that I’m allowing her to choose from. This shows more confidence and that she can’t jerk you around. If she hesitates with giving you an answer, or you can tell that she’s kinda dodging the question, take the offer away from her! Tell her “Never mind. Obviously, you’re not that interested.” And then end it! Move on! If you can emotionally take yourself out with your interaction with girls and can end all contact with that person with a snap of a finger, you’ll have all the power! 9 times out of 10, your reaction will shock them and they’ll back pedal/apologize and tell you that they can meet up Saturday. It works, I promise.

So again, the quicker you meet in person, the better your chances are for avoiding the dreaded Friend Zone!

So, here are the 5 basic tips for texting a girl. Remember to be cool, and collected, and tell yourself that you really don’t care about the outcome with this girl, because there’s plenty of others out there. Oh, and the last thing I forgot to mention… After getting a girl’s number, wait at least 2-3 days before you send her that first message! And also 1-2 days before starting up a conversation from the last time you talked. I know it seems technical, but it’s important.

Should Muscle Building Supplements Be Banned From Sports

Every new product that promises, and delivers, startling results, is bound to cause a stir. This is particularly the case when it comes to dietary supplements. “Ah, the latest wonder pill” you hear the doubters saying. Especially when the supplement in question promises to set the muscle building industry on its head by promising spectacular results in a very short space of time. After all, everybody knows that in order to build muscle and burn off body fat you have to spend hours, and hours, at the gym. Clanging away on weights, clocking up miles on the treadmill and generally putting your body through the mill. Coupled with stringent dieting.

So any product that promises the same, or similar results, but with much less physical effort, is bound to be illegal. Or a big con. Right? And sure, some of these types of products are exactly that but there are also products that do everything it’s claimed they do. Backed up by cold hard results and scientific proof.

PROSHAPE and HyperGH 14x are two products that do live up to their hype. These 100% natural supplements have been taken by men, and women, from all walks of life. Celebrities, pro athletes and ordinary everyday people. And they’ve all reported achieving good results.

Experiments Back Up Claims

But don’t just take their word for it. Have a look at the research that’s been done as well. One notable study, the results of which were published in Medicine & Science & Sports and Medicine, pitted a group taking the supplement against another group taking a placebo. Those on the supplement experienced a whopping 600% increase in muscle after just 7 weeks whilst those on the placebo experienced virtually no muscle growth at all. Same exercise regime, same diet etc. Another similar experiment, also reported in this publication, found that weight-training athletes who used the supplements increased their muscle strength by more than 200% compared to those on a placebo. In just 6 weeks!

Renowned Swedish University Uppsala also found that a group of testers who used the supplements for 4 weeks lost one inch of fat from around their waist without making any other changes to their daily routine, or their diet. In all these experiments, those who used the supplements experienced no adverse side effects whatsoever. They did however experience a host of positive ones instead….a reduction in blood sugar levels, triglycerides and bad LDL cholesterol for a start.

The fact remains though that in some circles these types of results are seen as performance enhancing and similar to the effects of steroids. Even though the products are entirely natural and the ingredients in them - trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid, cis-9 and phosphatidylserine (Ps), have been isolated from foods.

Should Muscle Building Supplements Be Banned From Sports

Critics say these particular compounds should be banned because they give those who use products containing them an unfair advantage. Supporters claim that there are other supplements routinely used by athletes that contain substances like creatine, which also helps to promote healthy muscle growth. So using the same reasoning, shouldn’t they be banned as well. Along with high-carb supplements used by aerobic athletes. After all, they’re all supplements designed to enhance athletic performance by providing the body with nutrients and substances it requires to function effectively.

Then there is the view, taken by a number of sports scientists, that these supplements are a practical and proven safe alternative to dangerous drugs like steroids and that this is what should be emphasized.

 

Echinacea: Aid for Common Colds and as Natural Antibiotic

Herbal extracts and ancient medical treatments date back centuries.  Herbalists over the years have used a variety of plants and plant extracts as part of their potions and natural cures.

Echinacea is another plant extract believed to have properties to help reduce your chances of getting the common cold and assist as a natural antibiotic.

The Echinacea plant or Cone flower comes from a plant genus of at least nine known species from the Asteraceae family. Echinacea is indigenous to northern and central America regions and named by ancient Greek cultures for its spiny center plume.   The flowers of the Echinacea plant bloom throughout the summer and present a beautiful array of yellow and/or purple shades and cone sizes, thus giving it the alias of Cone flower.

The Echinacea plant is believed to simulate the body’s natural immune system and serves as booster against infections and other bacterial conditions. Throughout history the Echinacea plant and extracts have document antibacterial usages for poisonous snakebites, pain, fever and anthrax in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Echinacea and the Common Cold

It wasn’t until early 1960s that Echinacea was used to prevent the common cold.   Echinacea extract is also used by ancient and modern herbalist as an anti-inflammatory agent as well as an antibiotic for urinary tract, Yeast and Ear Infections.  Other non proven treatments include Hay fever, Athletics foot fungal and sinusitis.

It is believed that extract from Echinacea prolongs the onset of a common cold and shortens the period affected by the cold.  In recent studies that tested the effectiveness of Echinacea on common colds revealed that subjects given a dosage of Echinacea prior to the onset of a cold did not show symptoms of a cold for at least 1 ½ days after those subjects who were exposed to the cold and not given Echinacea.

The prolonged onset of the cold was merely the first part of the research since those who showed signs of the cold later express that the symptoms where not as intense and only lasted a few days, where as subjects who did not receive the Echinacea treatment experienced longer duration of the cold and suffered higher levels of intensity in symptoms.

While these studies are highly disputed by the medical industry since there are non conclusive findings which definitively show the effectiveness of any one Echinacea plant to another or in combination of plants.
Even with studies which showed taking Echinacea as a prophylaxis prior to exposure to infections determined the effects, symptoms and intensity where cut down by nearly half.  Skeptics on the other hand feel that more studies are needed in a controlled setting which uses multiple extract types of Echinacea at controlled dosages may provide a fertile environment for conclusive finding.

Echinacea comes in a variety of forms; however each form is made up of at least two species of Echinacea plants and in some cases at least three types of the more highly potent species.

Echinacea extract can be taken in capsules or tablets, teas, oils, and ointments and come in dosages of depending on age and weight.  Echinacea can be given to children by measurement of adult dosages based upon the child’s weight.   Adults can take up to three dosages daily as a prophylaxis and immunity stimulator or as treatment for UTI’s or Yeast Infections of no more than 300mg in powder form, 1-2gram of tea form and 1 -3ml of extract tincture or liquids.

Because certain side effects such as allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort and asthma attacks may occur.  Aside from know adverse affects other drug interaction complication may be present if taking specific medications, therefore it is highly recommended to consult a physician before use and if symptoms are present stop taken the extract immediately.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight?

You often say in desperation – why can’t I lose weight?

You have been trying to lose weight for a long time now, but nothing seems to work.

You are able to put on weight very easily but losing weight is a big problem.

If this is what you are going through then let me tell you that current investigation indicate you may not be wrong in thinking that you are not losing weight easily. For a few people, because of a mix of inherited genes as well as physical variations, it truly is simpler to gain pounds as well as more difficult to shed it.

Many of these individuals are females and that’s because females are genetically different than males. This genetic behavior in females makes them retain fat in their body and that’s primarily because they have a biological function to nurture babies when they are pregnant and breastfeed them later.

The actual genetic variations because of which a female puts on weight are much less obvious within conditions wherever physical activity is part of everyday life and the food that she eats is not very rich in fat. The majority of women now a days lead a sedentary lifestyle, hence the tendency to put on weight.

Below are some of the main reasons why you are not able to lose weight and also learn how to lose weight effectively.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight? – Reason 1

You are stressed- When we are under stress our body generates hormones that are conducive to retaining fat in the body. So if you experience stress and are not able to relieve it then that could be one of the reasons.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight? – Reason 2

You are not able to Workout- Studies have showed that doing exercises and workouts are also controlled by our genes. You would have seen many people who regularly do workouts or exercises without fail and really enjoy doing that but on the other hand there are many people who no matter how hard they try they don’t find workouts interesting and just have to force themselves through it. All this is because your genes don’t favor voluntary workouts.

Hypothyroidism- The thyroid gland in our body secretes hormones that control the metabolism of cells in our body. In hypothyroidism this gland produces low amount of these hormones, which is one of the main reasons of slow metabolism and as a result putting on weight.

Why can’t I Lose Weight? – Reason 4

Hormonal imbalance in Women- The balance between female reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone may be disturbed that also could be a reason for not losing weight.

Why cant I Lose Weight? – Reason 5

You are having less protein-The value of proteins with regard to healthy weight reduction is massive. Besides proteins help you to increase metabolic process, additionally, it controls your hunger. Food items that are rich in protein and low in fat are egg whites, broccoli, tuna, cottage cheese, etc. Keep in mind that proteins ought to be supplemented with a few carbohydrates, plenty of veggies plus some fresh fruit.

Why can’t I Lose Weight? – Reason 6

Eating late in the night- You need to eat at least 2 hours before you go to bed or else your body is not able to digest the food properly which is again a big reason why we put on weight.

Why can’t I Lose Weight? – Reason 7

Sedentary lifestyle- you totally rely on your car to go anywhere, even to climb just one floor you use a lift. If this is the case then you need to rethink and replan your lifestyle. By just using your car less and climbing some steps everyday can make a bog difference to the way your body burns fat. In fact people who lead a active life don’t need to do workouts or exercises as their body is burning enough fat.

Why can’t I Lose Weight? – Reason 8

Menopause in Women- Women at menopause often put on fat around the belly. This is often due to declining estrogen levels and loss of muscle tissue. As the muscles decrease in size, the metabolism slows down.

Different type of pills like birth control pills, weight loss pills, anti depressants and steroids can also cause fat retention in your body. If you are taking any of these pills and putting on weight then speak to your doctor. Then not getting proper sleep also could be one reason for not burning fat, your body needs at least 8 hours of sleep in 24 hours.

If many of the above reasons apply to you then I guess you have got the answer to your query – why can’t i lose weight and to lose weight you need bring in changes to your lifestyle. Of course you cant change your genetics but you can bring in small changes in your lifestyle like leading less sedentary lifestyle and eating less junk food and more healthy food. You can find many weight loss programs that would help you bring these changes in your life.

Abs Diet For Women

Tone-up your Abs

A lot of people of all ages and from many different backgrounds wish to lose weight, tone-up and feel great about themselves! Often people wish to lose fat around the stomach and tone-up their abdominals but they really need to learn the abdominal exercise program first.

Whenever you want to achieve something for real, it has become evident to me that you need to increase your knowledge of the field you are dealing in. You need to know a bit about the various factors, how these interact and how they affect each other. You need to know something about technique/ technology and how to go about getting a result! When it comes to weight loss and exercise I think this boils down very much to knowing what foods you should be eating and why and how to change your bad habits into good habits for good. Having this knowledge about nutrition is but the very first step!

When you know something about good nutrition - i.e. what foods are good for you and why and how to prepare them, etc, you can then become far more effective in your weight loss goals. Your awareness and responsibility in the matter increase. You become aware of just how bad those chocolate bars are and what they are really doing to you and you desire not to eat them so much. Your increased awareness and education can help you choose better foods which are probably more satisfying anyway. This all helps you increase your control of what you are eating and hence your weight loss diet.

The same very much goes for exercise too. You want to know what exercises are effective, why and how to perform them. You will want some kind of a program to help you achieve this and stick to it on a long enough basis to actually get a noticeable result.

There are so many reducing plans and exercise plans out there that it can be hard to know where to start but I think the abdominal exercise program program works as I have tried it myself with positive results. I think it can help many others too who are hoping to find the right answers to help them lose weight and tone up for good. There is also a good program to help women on the subject of weight loss and exercise for women.

Often when people lose weight they notice that their self confidence increases. I do not think this has only to do with a person’s size but also has to do with the fact that the individual has achieved a goal and made a positive change in their life. They have gone out to do something and done it which is a success. This can often increase their confidence to go out and do more in life.

What You Shouldn’t Do On Your First Date

Finding the perfect person you’d want to spend your life with is even harder these days than in the past. Perhaps because of how we easily connect, we feel that there are more people out there that we can meet unlike in previous centuries when people make do with what is available. This is a good thing, yes but it does not make the dating scene any less stressful.

One of the make-and-break moments in a person’s dating life is the first date. What you do and what you say can create a lasting first impression that will ensure or not ensure a follow up date. Here are some of the things that you should not do if you do not want to get the kiss of death in dating.

1. Do not Play the tramp
It does not bode well for a relationship to sleep with someone on the first date… that is if you want it to be a lasting relationship. Do not play the sex kitten or the tramp if you do not want to be treated as only a sex kitten and a tramp. This means that you should not wear clothes that are too sexy or suggestive of sex. The same goes with the things that you say. Stay clear of sexy remarks or anything that will suggest sexual tension. The first date is a time to get to know the person without sex complicating it.

2. Do not Reveal too much
It may seem too deceitful but the first dates are the time to put your best feet forward. This does not mean that you should lie outright and create a persona that is not really you. It just means that you should highlight the positive and de-emphasize the negative. If you can avoid it, don’t even mention a thing about it. Revealing too much also destroys the mystery which is important if you want to entice your date to ask you for another round next time.

3. Do not appear too interested.
So you liked your date the minute you saw him or her from across the room. What do you do? Just play it cool and don’t expect much from the date. People who expect too much from the date will only appear to be too clingy and that is big turn off for the guys and yeah for the modern women. People right now, even the women, want lovers who have their own interests and can function independent of the relationship. Do not let it slip that you are interested too. It is good to retain an air of mystery. Remember that as twisted as this sounds, people often want the things that they cannot get. So start the chase, you might both reach the finish line.

4. Do not order foods that are difficult to eat
This is perhaps the cardinal rule in first dates and is probably the reason why daters avoid spaghetti, salad with mayo and other dishes with sauce on it. Dishes like this will increase the chances of you making a muck of your dress.
