Power and Social Dynamics for Male Confidence
If you base things 'socially' you're going to be powerless and feel like crap much of the time. Being subject to the power of 'the group' is an invitation to just give up all of your power and to be used by others to their benefit (or not at all). This is especially true now because social influence is just a power game by players and pawns.
Advanced Acquisition of Independence and Social Power
What is the answer to overcoming great obstacles in your social dating life First you have to see the social matrix. Know what it is and you can bring it into focus and see it in the world and behaviorism around you. Then, differentiate yourself from it. No more stimulus-response type of relationship with social influence.
The Primary Social Dilemma of Our Time
So what is it It's the power 'role reversal' of men and women. Is the nation headed down a path of female breadwinners and standby husbands Don't these men know that something is amiss Don't they feel ashamed in a way that their woman is leading the family or have they become accustomed to it so much that they don't care What happened to men of courage and character Popular society now seems to favor the alpha male archetypes that are dangerous and bravado in their approval of female exploitation such as hip-hop's superstars.
Female Social Behavior and the Power Reversal in Modern Social Reality
Recently I saw the Pussycat Dolls music video on myspace.com from one of my independent X girlfriends. Unfortunately it almost takes someone who is outside of social influence (an outcast) or someone above it (a producer) in order to really see what is actually going on here. Because of things like this, millions of young women are being programmed by their new social role models in a direction that alienates successful and lasting relationships between men and women.
What to Say When You Approach a Woman...
Often I get asked by guys 'What kind of questions' they should ask a woman either when approaching or on a date. A favorite is 'what do i ask when i approach her' And though this seems like an obvious question, I can already tell they're starting off on the wrong foot and I then have a general idea of the kind of results they've had with women doing that; inconsistent results like I sometimes USED to have.
Is there something wrong with being a 'nice guy'
For the sake of millions of great 'nice guys' out there who are wondering what is going on with women and dating, it's time to shed some light on the situation. Is there a problem with being a nice guy After all, didn't our grandfathers' used to be nice 'good' guys Why do women act the way they do and easily reject a man or lose interest Why does everything seem so difficult There's two directions I could go with this article; 1.
Is Being Unique the Most Important Thing in Dating
Many men make the mistake of thinking that they have to be 'unique'. In all actuality, a woman will be much more impressed if you are just comfortable in your own skin and 'normal' around her so that she finally has breathing room around a man and can then raise her attraction for you. She's probably been so desperate for a real man that she'll even reference things like meeting up or going to her place within 3 minutes of talking to you.
When it comes to online dating, most senior singles create obstacles before giving themselves a chance. Let's take a look at some common obstacles to senior dating success.
"I'm not good with computers."
One of the main obstacles to online dating for older people is technophobia, though this is fading. Knowing this reputable dating sites make it as easy on you as possible through step by step guidelines. If all you can do is click the mouse and type with two fingers, you're good to go.
"All the good ones are taken."
True, the population of available singles narrows with age. But there still are still lots of potential partners out there. Surveys by dating sites indicate that the fastest growing demographic in internet dating is over 40 years old. Leading senior dating sites have databases of millions of senior singles.
"My family won't understand."
Another big obstacle: Having to look over your shoulder for approval from family members. Think of how a new relationship might benefit you by increasing your personal happiness. Except in peculiar circumstances, your personal happiness would in most likely rub on those closest to you in a good way.
"My sex life is over."
Barring physical or psychological problems requiring expert or medical help, sex life need not be over because of age. Many older people report healthy and active sex lives well into old age.
"Someone might find out."
This is one of the reasons given for not trying online dating. Consider this: what are the odds of someone coming across your ad among millions of others in one of the hundreds of dating sites out there And, what would they be doing there anyway if not at least entertaining the idea of dating online themselves
"It's not safe."
Horror stories in the press about online dating experiences keep senior singles away from this dating method. Negative news is what sells and naturally, will receive greater publicity. What the press does not say is that most of the negative experiences have their origins in free chat rooms. Dating site membership fees keep most havoc-wreckers away (why pay to wreck havoc when you can do it for free).
"I want to lose some weight first."
This and similar self-improvement "reasons" are excuses older people use to postpone dating. Understandable, as it may be, waiting until you are perfect will only prolong your loneliness. Get there and start finding your mate, then begin working on your physical imperfections.
"I will look naughty, desperate or perverted."
There are senior dating services and senior dating sites dedicated to older people seeking partners within their age group. Young people are not allowed on these sites. Most of the senior singles in these sites are sincere, lively people who have or have been in thriving and respectable careers.
Yes, senior dating online is alive, vibrant and very decent. Give it at try. It works.
