How To Sweet Talk A Girl

They say that romance is dead and girls now days are liberated and want to be treated as equals. A lot of guys are even too scared to open doors for a girl or offer them their seat on the train or bus for fear of being scorned. You hear about girls acting like guys, adopting ladish behaviour, getting drunk and having fights, but that is all just negative hype.
I say romance is still alive and well and the majority of girls still love to be romanced and have sweet talk whispered in their ears by the guy of their dreams. So if you want to learn how to sweet talk a girl and bring some romance into her life, read on.
 
 

Sweet Talk A Girl And Make Her Feel Special

She Will Love To Hear Your Sweet Talk

If you want to learn how to sweet talk a girl you should know its not just a matter of mindless flattery and cheesy chat-up-lines. Yes sure girls love compliments but it has to be genuine or they will spot your fake chat a mile off.
Girls love to feel special, they love to feel they are the prettiest, most sexiest creature in the world. So how do you sweet talk a girl and make her feel special?
Be observant. Notice when she has had her hair done and pay her a compliment. Tell her she has lovely hair, beautiful eyes, soft skin and smells gorgeous. Be sure to notice when she has bought a new dress or new shoes and tell her how lovely she looks.
Make her feel special by sending her flowers, but don't send them to her home address. Instead send them to her place of work. She will feel so special when a big bouquet of flowers arrive at her place of work and they are for HER! Just imagine she will be the centre of attention and all her friends will be so jealous. Be sure to write something romantic on the gift tag so she knows they are from you.
Make her feel protected. Girls love a guy who makes her feel safe and protected.
Treat her with respect and don't take her for granted. If you neglect her and take her for granted, she will soon find someone else who treats her right.
Be spontaneous. Buy her little presents just for the sake of it. They don't have to be anything too expensive.
 
 

Sweet Talk A Girl And Have Fun

Make Your Dates Fun

Make your dates fun, don't just do the same things all the time. Here are a few ideas for you:
Arrange to do some fun things, for example you could take her to the zoo, most girls love animals and she will enjoy herself and think you are cool.
Arrange a surprise picnic for her. Pack a few sandwiches, some fruits, a bottle of wine and wine glasses (don't forget the corkscrew) and a blanket in a backpack and take her on a picnic in the woods on a lovely sunny day. She will think you're so romantic. After you have eaten, lay down together and look at the sky and try to make out funny faces in the clouds.
Take her for a trip to the beach even if the weather is not so warm. Walk along the sand together and have a paddle in the sea. Find a stick or piece of wood and draw a heart in the sand and write her name inside it. When it gets cold, take her for a fish and chip supper.
Offer to cook her supper. Play her favourite romantic songs and tell her to sit and reax while you are cooking.. Make the table look nice with a tablecloth and napkins. Light some candles to create a romantic atmosphere.

Teen With Down Syndrome Is Determined To Become A Model

Madeline Stuart decided recently that she would like to become a model, and her story is making the headlines and winning the hearts of people all over the world as this story has gone viral. There’s a reason,  though. Maddy has down syndrome.
“She really wants to change the way people discriminate against disability.”
She enjoys swimming, and dancing, but Maddy was frustrated by the extra weight she had holding her back. With some internal inspiration and the help of her mother, she wound up losing 44lbs (20kg). With her confidence and newly found energy, she was inspired to try modeling. She also, with her determination and confidence, soon found a supporter in the Living Dead label, who prides itself on signing models of diverse body types. (H/T: Original story and images found on Bored Panda, and was reworded slightly and reproduced for this blog.)

Why falling in love is similar to being drunk

A new study suggests that the love hormone oxytocin has similar affects to being drunk

Poets, songwriters and authors have written of the intoxicating effect of falling in love.
But a new study suggests that the love hormone oxytocin has similar affects to being drunk, and not just the more pleasant aspects of inebriation.
Researchers found that not only can oxytocin make lovers feel relaxed, happy and more confident, it can also provoke aggression, jealousy and arrogance.
Oxytocin is a hormone produced in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and plays a significant role in bonding, falling in love and making friendships.
Scientists at the University of Birmingham tested subjects to find out if the effects of drinking alcohol were similar to those of oxytocin, which was administered in a spray.
Dr Ian Mitchell, from the School of Psychology at Birmingham University, said: "We pooled existing research into the effects of both oxytocin and alcohol and were struck by the incredible similarities between the two compounds.
"They appear to target different receptors within the brain, but cause common actions.
"These neural circuits control how we perceive stress or anxiety, especially in social situations such as interviews, or perhaps even plucking up the courage to ask somebody on a date. Taking compounds such as oxytocin and alcohol can make these situations seem less daunting."
Oxytocin increases pro-social behaviours such as altruism, generosity and empathy while making us more willing to trust others. Those effects come about because the hormone appears to remove the brakes on social inhibitors such as fear, anxiety and stress in the same way that alcohol works.
The researchers say it may explain why first dates are often involve alcohol as prospective partners use 'Dutch courage' to mirror the feelings of love.
Dr Steven Gillespie said: "The idea of 'Dutch courage' - having a drink to overcome nerves - is used to battle those immediate obstacles of fear and anxiety.
"Oxytocin appears to mirror these effects in the lab."
Oxytocin was delivered as a nasal spray
However, the researchers warn against self-medicating with either the hormone or a swift drink to provide a little more confidence in difficult moments.
Alongside the health concerns that accompany frequent alcohol consumption, there are less desirable socio-cognitive effects that both alcohol and oxytocin can facilitate.
People can become more aggressive, more boastful, envious of those they consider to be their competitors, and favour their in-group at the expense of others.
The compounds can also affect our sense of fear which normally acts to protect us from getting into trouble and we often hear of people taking risks that they otherwise wouldn't.
A dose of either compound can further influence how we deal with others by enhancing our perception of trustworthiness, which would further increase the danger of taking unnecessary risks.
The findings were published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioural Reviews.
Dr Gillespie added: "I don't think we'll see a time when oxytocin is used socially as an alternative to alcohol.
"But it is a fascinating neurochemical and, away from matters of the heart, has a possible use in treatment of psychological and psychiatric conditions.”

Russia plans to free itself from iOS and Android

Finland’s Sailfish operating system is the platform for Russia’s latest fight for independence from US technology
A Jolla Tablet, one of the devices already running the Finnish company's operating system.
The cold war may have ended in the 90s but Russia is still fighting to free itself from American influence over its technology sector, with the country’s minister for communications announcing plans to create a new mobile operating system to challenge iOS and Android across all the Brics nations.
Meanwhile, another Russian company is designing its own central processing units to take on Intel and AMD.
According to Russia’s RBC financial newspaper, the country’s ministry of communications instigated the project to replace Android and iOS, meeting with Finnish developer Jolla to discuss the creation of a new mobile operating system based on Jolla’s open-source Sailfish OS.
Russia’s minister of communications and mass media, Nikolai Nikiforov, told RBC that he wants to see the use of non-Russian mobile operating systems drop to just 50% by 2025. Android alone accounts for 81% of the country’s OS market share, according to analysts at Gartner, while iOS picks up another 15%.

The Mind Can’t Know The Mind

Of the many blessings that have come my way since discovering the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, and later participating in Michael Jeffreys’ Santa Monica group devoted to his work, perhaps none is more significant than the experiential recognition of the limitations of my “formative mind” – or what Eckhart calls the “ego.”
Michael refers to this as the “boss hammer,” because when it is recogniz ed it actually allows one to drop all conceptual belief systems.  As they begin to fall away, as Eckhart says, “You can [begin to] notice a dimension within yourself that is far deeper than the movement of thought.”
Why is this so difficult to acknowledge?
As Eckhart tells us, the voice that is the formative mind or Ego is programmed and deeply conditioned habitual chatter.

The Ego is persistent in its need for attention. This ever-present clamor for recognition and validation convinces the person who is listening to it to give it more and more attention, until through conditioning you eventually  accept it as “your self.”  And in our social conditioning this is powerfully reinforced, and we are led to believe that this voice in the head is our identity.
As Eckhart says, this misapprehension is what is symbolized in the story of the Garden of Eden, symbolized as the apple and knowledge of good and evil.  It is the evolutionary ability of the mind to make distinctions, starting with good and bad (good=berry – bad=poison), which enabled the “smart” ones among us to survive.
But the fallacy of this identification with the “voice in the head” is the basis for the world’s very oldest teachings and traditions; I believe that it is the foundation of all of the world’s religions but was then distorted for various reasons by the priesthood and the power structures which then emerged.
