3 Great Tips On Meeting Women Online

3 Great Tips On Meeting Women Online
by Maureen Arnold


Online dating - or at least meeting women online - is a whole different ball game than traditional ways of meeting women, at least for the average single male. The good news is that there are certain things a man can do to boost his online success and bring it from the internet to the real world quickly and smoothly.

Online dating starts with your profile, and there are some definite things a man can do to catch a woman's eye - or of course, to make her move right on past you. Keep in mind that women think differently than men do about most aspects of life. You're sitting at your computer, pounding out your profile and trying to imagine exactly what a) women want to hear and b) is at least fairly close to the truth about yourself! So most guys end up saying things like, "Surely women will surely want to know what a great guy I am, how sweet and considerate I am and how I love my dog...." WRONG. Do you know what women ACTUALLY think about that? "Great guys" do not need to make you believe that they are great. Their "greatness" shows through in what they write and how they make a women feel - and if you need to say you are wonderful, then you are probably NOT.

So how do you exude "greatness" without stating it? The key is using a little humor to create attraction, which will LEAD to her thinking you are a "Great Guy". Try implying instead that you are really choosy, and that you're trying online dating as a last resort because all the beautiful women you meet are boring and shallow. In doing this, you will be doing several things simultaneously - you are creating a challenge that most women with self-esteem cannot help but accept, you have told her without stating it directly that you CAN get women, you're not despondent and you have demonstrated your alpha male status by showing that you do not simply take whatever comes your way - you can BE picky.

The next step will be emailing the woman. Most people try to tell their entire life story in the first email to someone they meet online. If she has emailed you, bust her balls on something she wrote in the email and get her phone number or a time to meet her at the local coffee shop. Don't ask her - tell her! Say, "Girl, give me your number" or "Hey, meet me at Stone Mountain at 2:00 on Saturday", etc. If you are emailing HER in response to her profile - make it short and a little challenging - not complimentary or relating your attraction to her in any way. Write something like, "I noticed you said you candle-light dinners, is that because you are afraid he will see you chewing with your mouth open? C'mon, give me something I can WORK with here!" Then see what happens.

Then, step three, you've got to take things OFF the internet as quickly as you can. Once you have the interest of a woman, get her phone number, get a date set up or meet her for coffee as quickly as you can. Not to be weird or aggressive or anything, but simply because the internet methods of communications - email, IM, texting, whatever, are really...dry mediums of communication. Lots of miscommunication can happen - not to mention she may be lying to you about what she looks like or who she is. So move it from the internet to the real world as fast as you can. One great way to do this and to still allow the woman to feel safe it to propose meeting for coffee or lunch. This is very "non-date-like" and will probably get her agreement a lot faster than proposing to take her to a bar on Saturday night where you can get her drunk and then try to take her home.

Americans Are Self-Representing in the Federal And State Courts At Staggering Numbers In 2006!

Americans Are Self-Representing in the Federal And State Courts At Staggering Numbers In 2006!
by Richard Garcia


There is an unprecedented national movement that is setting the stage for Self-Represented litigants in the Federal and State Courts which was found staggering in 2006! Now entering the first quarter of 2007, professionals offering educational services to their clients for self-representation on legal matters are recording all time high enrollments.

The Federal and State Courts have noted the rising increase of litigants appearing without counsel in domestic relations issues such as divorce, custody and child support. Even smaller claims such a tenant/landlord, probate, protective orders, and other civil matters (debt) have seen mothers, fathers and singles citizens representing themselves in court.

"Credit Card Rest In Peace through the educational services of North American Educational Services (NAES) is at the forefront of this trend. For the last 6 years American Consumers with $8000 or more of Credit Card Debt have been able receive the education and tools needed to make informed decisions and to confidently move forward and represent themselves in Court" so said Credit Card RIP Founder, Richard Garcia.

The staff at NAES includes: Former bank compliance division experts and Resource and Financial Education Specialists who have personal experience in utilizing these procedures from start to finish. These procedures include consumer remedies based on 12 C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations), the Fair Credit Billing Act, which is taken from Title 15 of the U.S.C. (United States Code) and other applicable federal laws. Additionally, for people with credit concern issues, Debt Relief Educational Services (DRES) provides an educational tutorial based on consumer protection laws as well as a partnership with the nations leading credit repair organization.

The educational process provides them with the best alternative solution to bankruptcy, consolidation, and other remedies that have been proven to be detrimental to their financial situation. To date, DRES has helped thousands of people obtain significant debt relief and restore an incredible amount of freedom back in to their lives!

Several states and many jurisdictions keep track of the numbers of self-represented litigants in their courts. The following list provided by National Center for State Courts of online reports provides a snapshot of statistics in various jurisdictions around the country, divided into four main categories. We will highlight one example from each category.

A. State Court Pro Se Statistics California Statewide Action Plan for Self-represented Litigants. California Judicial Council Task Force on Self-Represented Litigants (2004). See page 2 for statistics. For example:
· Over 4.3 million court users are self-represented in California.
· For family law cases: 67% of petitioners at filing (72% for largest counties) are self-represented and 80% of petitioners at disposition for dissolution cases are self-represented.
· For unlawful detainer cases: 34% of petitions at filing are self-represented, and over 90% of defendants are self-represented.

B. State Appellate Court Pro Se Statistics The Future of Self-Represented Litigation: Report from the March 2005 Summit. Williamsburg, VA: National Center for State Courts (2005). This publication provides a wide range of papers describing several innovative solutions to meeting the needs of pro se litigants as well as provides various statistics. For example:
From Paper 1: Framing the Issue by John Greacen, "We have learned the following about programs provided by the courts that serve self represented litigants:
The rates of usage vary dramatically, with only a third of self represented litigants taking advantage of the courts' programs in some jurisdictions, while 80% use the programs in other jurisdictions.
That programs tend to serve many more plaintiffs than defendants (with ratios ranging from a low of 2.5 plaintiffs for every defendant for a high of 15 plaintiffs for every defendant) in family law cases; the converse is true in landlord tenant and debt collection cases."

C. Federal Court Pro Se Statistics U.S. Bankruptcy Court Statistics. Eastern District of California. Pro se district filings are listed:
· 17% of filings were pro se in January 2006.
· 17% of filings were pro se in February 2006.
· 15% of filings were pro se in March 2006.

D. Other Pro Se Statistics
Ayn Crawley. Trends in Pro Se Litigation. Maryland Legal Assistance Network. Statewide statistics of over 40,000 self-represented users of programs in Maryland in 2002 show:
· 60% were women.
· 44% described themselves as African American and 9% as Hispanic.
· The vast majority had modest incomes.
· Case types:
38% - Divorce/Annulment/Separation
32% - Custody
16% - Child Support
11% - Visitation
3% - Alimony/Name Change and Paternity

There are millions of Americans who suffer from having too much unhealthy debt in their lives. NAES programs offer an opportunity for people to recapture an enormous part of their personal and financial freedom by eliminating this condition.

George Strait Tickets - A Country Legend Returns

George Strait Tickets - A Country Legend Returns
by Jay Nault


For more than 25 years, George Strait tickets have been available and in-demand all over the world. Strait's pure country sound may be a tribute to his true-to-roots nature, but that reputation in some ways belies his ability to innovate and to bring his personality and style to every show he plays and every song he releases. A look at Strait's life will shed some light on how his persona came to be.

Early Beginnings

George Harvey Strait was born on May 18, 1952 in Poteet, Texas, but grew up in Pearsall. Strait's father was a school teacher, but they left Pearsall nearly every weekend to work on the family farm. Strait's parents divorced when he was in the fourth grade, and his sister left with his mother, while he and his brother stayed with their father.

When Strait got to high school, he played in his first band, and their style was rock and roll. However, he soon discovered his preference for country music, and he found himself listening to and being influenced by the likes of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Bob Wills and Hank Williams.

Strait finished high school and enrolled in college, but soon dropped out and married his high school sweetheart in Mexico. In 1971, Strait enlisted in the United States Army. While he was stationed in Hawaii, Strait continued to hone his style, playing for an Army-sponsored band called "Rambling Country," and they also used the stage name "Santee."

After being honorably discharged from the Army, Strait returned to school and finished his degree in agricultural studies at Southwest Texas State University. Although Strait was proud to earn his degree, he used this time as well to further his musical development.

Career Beginnings

Strait managed his cattle farm during the day after he finished school, but began to play local honky tonk bars at night. He was soon noticed by record executives, and he signed his first recording contract and released his first album in 1981. The debut was a success, and set the stage for the rest of his career.

Strait's sound was clearly influenced by his classical country heroes, but his style also incorporated a more modern-type of energy. His live shows were also a huge draw, and George Strait tickets soon became a hot item in Texas and all over the country.

Accomplishments

Overall, Strait has sold an estimated 62 million copies of his albums, enjoyed dozens of chart-topping singles and albums, and he has filled his trophy room with awards. Strait has won dozens of Country-and-American Music Awards, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006. If you want to see a true country icon, secure George Strait tickets for his forthcoming return to the stage.

The San Francisco Dating Scene

The San Francisco Dating Scene
by Ron Zvagelsky


San Francisco is famous for, among other things, that song popularized by Tony Bennett, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". Interestingly, people do sometimes leave their hearts in San Francisco--because of the active dating scene in the city.

A true melting pot, San Francisco has a hybrid culture, originating from the Asian, Latino and American roots. This would probably explain the open-mindedness of San Francisco daters. It is not uncommon and it is definitely acceptable to see people from two different backgrounds or cultures dating.

Some people have said that San Francisco differs from other cities with active dating scenes by their styles. For instance, the bars in New York are more casual compared to the San Francisco bars. It is also common for singles to go to gatherings held in museums, art galleries, and other unconventional venues for meeting potential romantic partners. But one of the trends in San Francisco nowadays is the Speed Dating.

Speed Dating is also popular in other major cities, but this type of dating is more widespread in San Francisco. There are lots of singles who are working and earning enough, and who do not have time to go to dates very often. Just think of Speed Dating as a Jobs Fair--there are many companies for graduates to apply to, many options are available, and the job interview is quick so the hiring can also be quick.

The most important thing in Speed Dating is not the "dating" itself. It really is not dating yet, because you will just talk with a member of the opposite sex for only five to seven minutes. And so what really matters is the first impression, how you come off to the person you are talking to. There are also sets of questions that a man or a woman asks the first time--such as "Where do you live?", "What are you into?", and "What is your job?" Of course, it is important to get information and to get to know the person as much as you can in such a short time.

For most San Francisco daters, it is important to have a partner who lives in the same city, or who at least lives near the area. If someone asks you the questions, "Where are you from? Where do you live?", you have to answer honestly. But if you do not live in San Francisco, then what are you doing, going to Speed Dating groups in San Francisco?

It is also a good idea to make sure that you will have something in common with the person you decide to date. Consider the tastes in food, for instance--do you have similar tastes? In San Francisco, Asian restaurants are found everywhere. Japanese restaurants are especially popular in the city. On your first date, make sure that you are knowledgeable in Japanese food, so if your date decides that you go to a Japanese restaurant, you would not get lost while trying to read the menu.

Most dating tips are probably just easy and common sense, but really, there are lots of things to think about. Because San Francisco has a reputation for romance, you really have to get serious considering what and whom you want to date. But do not spend too much time on thinking, just have fun!

Dating in a Modern World

Dating in a Modern World
by oliver green


Several years ago single men and women could count on meeting potential mates though work or mutual friends. But that was then and the dating environment has changed. Today, single men and women are busier than ever and they work longer hours, which means it's harder to meet Mr. or Ms. Right! But not to worry, the stigma of dating services and personal ads is basically prehistoric and there are plenty of options to help single people become couples. Today, online dating, speed dating, Lock N Key parties, "It's Just Lunch" and "Eight at Eight" are some of the most popular options to help singles navigate dating in a modern world.

Online Dating

Let's face it we use the Internet for shopping, travel and work. Why not use the Internet for dating as well? Many online dating services provide potential matches based on religion, ethnic background, occupation and special interests. Jdate.com is a popular dating site for Jewish singles while Blackplanet.com is a popular online community and dating service for African American singles. Moreover, Lawyersinlove.com users are generally law students or lawyers while Mustlovepets.com caters to singles who love animals.

Online dating is convenient, inexpensive and the only requirements are hope, luck and Internet connection! Online dating provides one fairly easy way to navigate a busy professional life and maintain a personal life. But be forewarned there is some work involved in identifying a perfect match online. Single hopefuls must peruse countless member profiles; make numerous cyber introductions and wait to see if interest is mutual.

Speed Dating

Unlike the later, speed dating allows singles to meet several potential matches even as much as twenty prospects in one night! Singles pay a small fee to participate in several mini dates at a local bar or nightclub. The mini dates last about ten minutes and allow participants just enough time to do quick intros and catch someone's attention. By the end of the evening participants submit a list of people they'd like to see again. Event organizers then identify mutual matches and provide contact information to both parties. Singles interested in instant dating gratification can try Hurrydate.com a well known speed dating service that should help jump start a stalled social calendar!

Lock N Key

Alternatively, Lock N Key parties are a combination of happy hour and the initial icebreaker conversation. Generally female participants are provided with locks and male participants are issued keys. Lock N Key attendees circulate and mingle under the guise of attempting to find appropriate locks or keys. Lock N Key parties generally offer complimentary drinks, door prizes and giveaways. If a match occurs too early in the evening participants can simply return their key or lock and start the process over. Since there is generally a one in ten chance of unlocking a lock there's plenty of opportunities to meet several potential mates! "Moxie in the City" hosts Lock N Key Parties in several major cities.

It's Just Lunch

If the aforementioned dating options seem a bit too unconventional "It's Just Lunch" may be more suitable. Each member is assigned an "IJL" dating specialist and participates in a one on one interview. The interview allows the member to clearly communicate physical, ethnic, religious, education and social preferences. Once the interview is completed the dating specialist does all the leg work. They identify potential matches and schedule a lunch, brunch or happy hour date. These dates tend to be shorter in length and occur in a casual environment. This service is highly customized and touts a 70% second date success rate. However, membership fees tend to be costly. But if cost is not a concern "It's Just Lunch" may be worth trying.

Eight at Eight

Finally, "Eight at Eight" is equal parts dinner club and dating service. "Eight at Eight" representatives organize a dinner party at a local hotspot that includes four single men and four single women with similar backgrounds and interests. This service is a great opportunity to meet new people in a casual environment while forgoing the stress and expense of a one on one first date. Chances are if attendees aren't perfect matches at least they've had a good meal and made new friends.

Ultimately, singles can try one or all of these dating services. In today's modern world there's no reason for men and women to sit at home on a Friday night unless they've already successfully met their perfect match.

The 7 Reasons Why Women Love Bad Boys

The 7 Reasons Why Women Love Bad Boys
by Chris Williamson


Have you ever wondered why THAT guy always seems to get the girls? He's brash, cocky and he marches to the beat of his own drum. He's on (or over) the edge, bordering on rude and doesn't seem to give a damn about anyone but himself - what exactly do women see in a guy like that?

You consider yourself outgoing, but conservative; interesting but a little shy; you can keep a conversation going, but with the right people... sounds good doesn't it? Why do the bad boys always seem to get the ladies? Here are 7 reasons why:

1. Rebels are confident

That's right. They wouldn't be able to pull off half of the antics they do if they weren't brimming with confidence. Bad boys aren't just confident around their friends, either - their cavalier attitude is in everything they do, from eating their cereal in the morning, to asking the bartender for a cool glass of draft... to talking to the ladies on the balcony at a friend's party. No matter where you look, women find confidence a major turn on.

2. Rebels are indifferent

Bad boys just simply don't give a damn. They can take it or leave it. That's one reason why they fare well with women. If a woman says no, who cares? They move on to the next one, and they do it with the same verve and maverick attitude as they did the last one. Here is a great quote, "Mr. Right doesn't necessarily care if he is Mr. Right." That's indifference in a nutshell.

3. Rebels are exciting and adventurous

Ask yourself, "when was the last time I took a walk on the wild side?" If you are asking yourself that question, then you obviously aren't a rebel. The 'bad boys' are always testing the boundaries and pushing the envelope when it comes to their life - and women can't get enough of it. They find it intriguing. And when you put exciting and adventurous beside the other rebellious traits, it sends women into a tizzy.

4. Rebels are challenging and mysterious

Women don't dig men that are pushovers. They also don't like men that they can see coming a mile away. Contrary to the belief women like men they can read and men that provide them with a sense of security, women actually LOVE to guess! It is challenging for them, and it is one of the elements of the bad boy that keeps them coming back for more!

5. Rebels are very masculine

This often goes hand-in-hand with being confident, indifferent, exciting, adventurous... etc. Bad boys are often rugged and in-control. That doesn't mean controlling; they just know how to get what they want. They speak clearly and confidently, they look you in the eye, they are passionate about what they believe in... but most importantly, they still know how to treat a lady.

6. Rebels give women a feeling of power

The illusion of control is often more powerful than control itself. Power within a relationship, power outside of a relationship - it doesn't matter - being with a bad boy, encompassing all of the above traits, gives women an air of strength and togetherness. Essentially the confident, cocky bad boy image rubs off a little bit on her - and she laps it up!

7. Rebels know how to talk to women

If they weren't confident, rebels would not be the chick magnets they are. Instead of indifferent, they would be self-conscious and non-committal (how many women have you passed up because you didn't think you were good enough?) - you see, rebels don't care. Rising to the challenge, living the wild side of life, being something more than conservative, and keeping her guessing about you - and her - it's an explosive combination! And one that is geared to success for the dating male.

The combination makes the talking part almost a given - considering the woman's interest has already been sparked. Talking with them is just the part that reels them in. And the bad boy knows how to tell her just what she wants to hear.

Rebels know how to talk to women because they are all of the above. Confidence followed up with indifference, sprinkled with a little bit of mystery, intrigue and excitement is what attracts most women to start. That gets you the 'in' to talk with them - they're interested, now you have to show them what you've got. Figuring those things out is the trick. Bad boys use their conversational skills to keep a woman interested and wanting more - and you can too.

What Kind of Gift for Valentine's Day?

What Kind of Gift for Valentine's Day?
by Dominique Halet


Valentine' S Day approaches and by the way, the time of the gifts.

Last month was Christmas time and we were brainstorming to know what to offer to our beloved ones.

It is often easy to buy a gift for our children: they have as well desires as we have no problem to choose something to offer to them.

But it is more difficult to choose a gift for an adult.

A man or a woman has all or almost all that he or she wishes.

Which household does not have a blender made by the famous mark "noisy mixer", a dryer "washes, dries and irons at your place", or the drilling machine "drill through your neighbour's wall"?

Will you offer a rose bunch to your wife? Why not? But... perhaps do you already offer one to her each friday...

An original gift would be a bunch of rose Baccarats made up with as many roses as years you cherish your beloved. If you have a large financial budget, you can also offer to her a crystal "Baccarat" vase where Madam will be able to put the flowers.

Does your consort appreciates beer? Do the same with as many different beers - Belgian beers are particularly famous for their diversity and you will only be embarrassed of knowing which to choose.

Note: do not offer her/his age in a number of flowers or bottles; it is Valentine's Day, not his birthday, please, be delicate.

The great classic gifts are French perfumes, such as Cacharel which still has just left a new perfume, Chanel, Rochas... But attention: all the people do not have the same type of skin nor the same pigmentation, with the result that the perfumes do not have the same odor on each one of us.

A council: if you wish to offer a perfume to your wife, choose the one she prefers. As information: I am Belgian but my favorite perfume is not a French perfume ; it is an American perfume called Giorgio (yellow label). The second one I love is Vanderbilt (in case someone decides to offer my preferred perfume to me). As you see, you do not have to come on our old continent to find the perfect perfume.

Another kind of original gift is a gastronomical escapade: two days and a night in "Charm Inn", located on a particular site. Gastronomical Inns generally provide menus with 5 up to 7 dishes, fine food, fine and sought wines and particularly cosy atmosphere. Making your escapade the perfect Valentine's weekend.

For those who want to preserve one's figure, a thermal weekend is the best solution. Thermal centers generally offer 48 hours all-inclusive menus for an affordable price: access to the material, massages, cabins of jets, alga or mud baths... as well as food especially made for losing some pounds while it remains tasty.

For the singles, remember that Valentine's Day is also a family holiday. And do not hesitate to offer to yourself the gift which pleases to you. As we say in French: "On n'est jamais si bien servi que par soi-même" (we never be served so fine than being served by ourself). It is besides what I intend to do this year.

Happy Valentines!
