Dream Ultra

“To be or not to be, that is the question…”

There’s an interesting thing in writing. They say
it’s much better to show ideas than it is to tell
them.

That is, don’t write “It was a scary dark night.”
Write, “Clouds covered the last vestiges of the
waning moon, and a chill frost rose through the
air. A heavy fog set on the ground obscured his
feet, and the only sight to be seen were the
wisps of his breath rising in front of the
blackened landscape.”

The first example is a (written) verbalization
that it’s dark and scary. But you don’t get a
dark and scary vibe from it.

The second never verbalizes it’s dark and scary.
Instead, it demonstrates simply by being dark and
scary.

This is a key part of your interactions with
women. You want to demonstrate good things about
yourself all the time. You can demonstrate good
things about yourself through things like
Storytelling, displaying humor, displaying
intelligence. Being seen with another woman.
Having one woman over to your place and she
thinks she smells perfume, but isn’t quite sure.
Being busy and having a life. One girl notices
other girls calling you, sees you with other
girls who are “just friends″. Things like this
demonstrate good things about you, that you’re a
strong capable guy.

On the other hand, it’s universally bad to
demonstrate you’re clumsy, displaying a lack of
intelligence and/or social intelligence, being
cowardly, etc. Showing that you are extremely
timid, seeing no one else wants you and that you
have no chance with other girls, you’re going
nowhere in life…

Now here’s the kicker. Dark stormy night kicker.

When you Verbalize, say, that you’re something
good, you’re often demonstrating the opposite.

“I’m really smart. I went to an Ivy League
school.”

“I drive a really nice car.”

“I’m busy on Monday and Tuesday with important
stuff, let’s get together on Wednesday for two
hours.”

“I am seeing a lot of other women right now.”

“All girls want me.”

“I make / year.”

“I′m a cool guy.”

“I’m really good at sex.”

“I’m really deep.”

“I look really sexy.”

These are all TERRIBLE verbalizations. But
they’re not bad qualities to demonstrate.

Let her see that you′re busy and interesting,
intelligent, deep. Act like a good lover and a
desirable man. The kind of people that say “All
girls want me″ in a serious tone come across
insecure.

But here’s the crazy thing. You can jokingly
sprinkle in little bad things about that aren′t
true.

“I’m shy.” “Girls don’t really like me.”

If comments like that are obviously untrue, and
said with a slight smile, she’ll think you’re
kidding around. Verbalizing Low value.

They must be obviously untrue. If you actually
are shy, doesn′t verbalize that you’re shy. Just
don′t bring it up.

You can also say comments that seem very
dependent on her.

“Baby, you’re like the moon and the stars and the
sun for me. Without you, there′d be no me.”

This is something you can verbalize if you′re a
cool, busy guy with a life. If you do that,
she’ll feel good. On the other hand, if you
actually do demonstrate you′re dependent on her,
you want to stay away from this.

It’s the difference between what you say and what
you mean. What you’re telling and showing.

Don’t say, “I′m a cool guy that’s a good lover.”

Demonstrate it.

According to a recent survey in the UK, more than 55% of people are unfaithful to their partners. The rise of the mobile phone, Internet dating sites/chat rooms and greater work freedom for both men and women, ensure that it is far easier to have an affair, or start a new relationship with someone, without current partners knowing about it. It is also very easy to get indignant when our partner strays, to condemn them in vitriolic terms and accuse them of being ‘bastards’ ‘whores’ or ‘terrible cheats’. But sometimes getting self-righteously angry, without acknowledging our part in the process, simply delays the inevitable: the final break-down of the relationship.

There are many reasons why partners cheat, each specific to that relationship, but four main ones seem to cause the most damage: 1. Loss of Attraction and Communication, 2. Lack of Gratitude and Appreciation, 3. Lack of Affirmation, and 4. Loss of Significance and Value. No matter why the partner finds someone else attractive, that infidelity will be tied to at least one of those major causes.

1. Loss of Attraction and Communication

When we fall in love, there is no law which says we will remain attracted to that person forever. In fact, mutual attraction and communication depends heavily on the other three reasons being positively embedded into the relationship. Without feeling appreciated, wanted and valued, or being positively affirmed by someone else, we soon lose our feeling of significance, that we actually matter, and go off that person rapidly. In those circumstances, we are bound to find others more attractive because we would stop communicating at home and communicate to others instead.

Often, partners change in unexpected ways, like physically getting bigger in size, or getting more mean and selfish in their actions, which were not there at the beginning. That might cause attraction to wane because it is then tempting to compare others to our partners and find them wanting. In those situations, we tend to find it hard to express our feelings as we are not quite sure what to say. Nothing tangible has caused the discomfort and unhappiness with our partners, but it is there like a bad smell, constantly making us unhappy. We cannot make someone find us appealing if they don’t. So the only certain thing with this reason is that, once attraction goes, communication quickly follows and the relationship is doomed. It is likely to disintegrate gradually or continue in a very unhappy and resentful way after that.

2. Lack of Gratitude and Appreciation

Most relationships buckle under the weight of this reason. We all like to feel appreciated, being shown gratitude for our efforts and the trouble we take to fulfil our partnership role. When we perceive (and it is a matter of personal perception) that the person is not being very thankful or appreciative, it makes us resentful. We then start to pay more attention to the negatives than the positives in the relationship, which is likely to make both parties feel that they cannot do anything right.

There are many relationships in which one party might withhold praise, expressions of love or verbal thanks. BAD MISTAKE! Never assume the other partner should ‘know’ how you feel. We all want to hear it, see it and be the physical recipients of any appreciation. If we have to wonder about that gratitude or value, the rot has already started to set in. Sometimes gratitude is perceived to be missing because of how we express such thanks. For example, one party might love to give gifts like flowers, chocolates, clothes, etc., because they believe giving gifts show their love. But the other party might just want to be hugged or TOLD they are wonderful. They do not wish for gifts. Just having the presence and ATTENTION of their partner regularly is thanks enough, and that’s their way of showing of love. In this mismatch of expectation, the parties are hardly likely to please each other unless they discuss their needs!

3. Lack of Affirmation

The greatest glue in any relationship which holds it together is mutual affirmation. The worst thing is to tell someone how much you value and love them, but to have nothing coming back at you in a similar fashion. Soon one gets tired of affirming that partner without being affirmed themself. Very soul-destroying and demotivating. Wherever resentment begins to take over, look no further than a lack of appreciation and affirmation. It means one person is taking far more than they are giving and this increasing imbalance will be the death knell of that relationship. This is a pity, especially when many people are not used to being affirmed and find it hard to affirm others. But we all have to learn sometime and appreciating our partners by affirming them regularly and letting them know how much we value them keeps them attracted to us.

4. Loss of Significance and Value

The final nail in the coffin of that relationship will be driven in by this cause. Everyone wants to feel they matter, especially to the person they love. Once one begins to feel insignificant and unworthy, they will seek that significance somewhere else. Anyone they meet who makes them feel the least bit valued will draw them away from their home. It is not rocket science. People go into relationships to be loved, affirmed and wanted. If that is not happening, what is the point of staying in it? Marriage and relationships are not supposed to be life sentences. They should be enjoyable and fun to bring out the best in us, especially in love and fulfilling our potential. We then feel significant; that we matter as people. Take that away and you rob your partner of his/her confidence and self esteem; the reason for their purpose and identity. There is nothing left to hold that person to the home, especially when they are being put down all the time.

So, which of those reasons are lurking around in your relationship just now? Which ones are you neglecting while you please yourself? Which ones are missing from your life and how does that make you feel? If your relationship is broken, which of those caused it?

If someone strays from home, you can bet your life that at least one of those four elements is the culprit. Taking time to answer those questions honestly might save your current, or next, relationship from becoming another statistic. Often people cannot talk about what is missing in their lives for fear of ‘upsetting’ their partners or having arguments. Rightly or wrongly, they take what seems to be the ‘easy’ way out and get what they seek outside instead, causing much pain and deception for the partner left at home. A tiny minority of people will stray, no matter what you do, because of their own low-esteem, insecurity and desire to prove themselves sexually. But paying close attention to those four factors could save an awful lot of heartache in most relationships.

A Yahoo search for a “Ukraine marriage agency” yields over 1,250,000 results. For a country, which has been locked away to the rest of the world for years and has gained its independence 16 years ago, such results seem to be overwhelming. Why has this business flourished in the FSU countries within the last few years? Are women of these countries on a prowl for a rich husband? Are they raking around for an unforgettable short-term romance? Or are they seeking something more profound like true love relationships and someone to make them happy?

Lucky for me, when these questions began swarming in my head, a good girlfriend of mine, who has lived in Italy for a number of years, was in town to visit her family. So, instead of digging through piles of statistics and wracking my brain to get the information so interesting for me, I contacted her and loaded her brain with all the questions.

Before I move on, let me make myself clear: by no means does this article include motives and wants of every Ukrainian woman, who submits her profile to a marriage agency. Moreover I will be the one to inspire the foreigners: try be be as cautious as possible if you decided to apply to a marriage agency. In the past, some Russian ladies from the FSU countries have provided more than enough negative publicity (read my article on scams in Lugansk city, Ukraine), but don′t let that discourage you and miss out on a chance to gift someone the pleasure of communication and a possibility to find love. With that in mind, I proceed…

When I began questioning the motives of Russian women who take a chance on marriage agencies, my first discovery was quite disturbing. One of the main explanations for the FSU women to like foreigners is that men from their native countries… aren’t good enough. “Many people talk about how awful it is (for a FSU Russian girl) to live abroad and tell you horror stories. Why not admit that the reason is in those men at home, who, in my opinion, don’t know what a family is?” - said Natasha commenting on the article in one of the leading Russian papers, which blamed marriages to the foreigners. “Unfortunately, the ‘Russian’ men have got a long way to go to keep up with the men from abroad.” Some bridal agencies will give you the same information. An American journalist, who took a “Romance tour to find a Russian bride” trip to Ukraine as a part of his investigation for a story, says in his on-line journal that the instructor on the tour explained to him: Ukrainian and Russian men “drink, philander, alternately beat and neglect women.”

Obviously, not every FSU man treats women this way. Nevertheless, a general conception that most Russian brides/Ukrainian women share of the men in their home countries comes down to a few common words: irresponsible, hard-hearted, too demanding and not willing to provide for their children, let alone their mother. Throughout history Russian women have been famous for the way they treated their family. They are loving, devoted and caring, and, coming to a marriage agency they dream to find someone like themselves to create a strong happy family.

The other thing noticed by Natasha during her three-year-long marriage to a foreigner: To tell you the truth, marrying him I didn’t think about living in Italy… But for Italians the family is very-very important and they put a great emphasis on the family values. That meant a lot to me. Foreigners in general seem to be more serious about family and children, unlike the men at home.”

In line with a lack of quality of the FSU men, there is also a lack of quantity. Statistics show that during 2002 the ratio men-women was 46 % to 54%, and hasn′t changed much since. Given that a large part of these 46% are people who can′t be counted on for love, care and support, it leaves the ladies of Russia and Ukraine very little to chose from. Of course the solution to the problem is broading your horizons.

“All the good ones have been snatched away long ago, your chances to find someone in this country after you turn 25 are next to nil,” Natasha mused over a cup of coffee (she married her Italian sweetheart at the age of 29). “It seems the guys (in Ukraine) disappear when they turn 30.”

On the top of all said, the appreciation of their own femininity sets the FSU women apart from American or European ladies. A lot of men can see that the FSU women are different. And this is not only about their outer beauty that is so well-known. These ladies like to look pretty, it is not unusual for them to wear a dress and pumps on a regular basis, they care about their body and like to be attractive. Bottom line, they want to be feminine, not feminist.

The FSU women cherish being a “weak gender”, which for them means taking care of their family in the first place, as well as being cared for and appreciated. Promises of that seem to be given in abundance by Americans and Europeans, many of whom share an opinion that it has been too long since Western women have shown any aspiration to cherish the softer side of the “weaker gender”. In comparison with a constant rush of the women at home to make careers and get equal with men, the feminine side of the FSU ladies is at definite advantage to the men from abroad. Even some FSU men notice that the foreigners are attracted by “their” women because they “remain women, not some emancipated feminists, like in the West”.

Natasha dreamily remembers her very first visitings Italy: “When I was in Italy I was treated like a princess surrounded with attention, that I missed so much from our men. I think there is so much beauty (in Russia), that our men are simply used to it, it is mundane to them, they forget about simple compliments… Italians value beauty.”

After all this, what can I say to the men in search of their destiny? It all depends on what you are searching for. No doubt, there will be some money-hungry vamps, eager to trap you. If you want to find a woman for one night it is not a problem neither in Ukraine or Russia nor anywhere else in the world. But if you are looking for a woman who will respect you, relish her family and be as smart as she is pretty, the chances of you finding that in Ukraine or Russia are greater than at any other place.

It’s a well known fact that in this day and age most marriages end up in divorce. When confronted with the possibility of “throwing a relationship away”, you’ll probably experience a lot of stress. There are some things you can do to decide if you are in the wrong relationship and if you need to get out.

I have written a few tips and guidelines to help you decide if you are making the right choice when it comes to divorce. This list is just a few key points that I think will help you. The list is not meant to be a complete list of all the steps you need to take, but will give you “food for thought”.

1. Is your partner/spouse abusive? If your signifigant other has abused you in the past, they probably will do so again in the future. If you are in a situation where you continue to be abused you need to GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! Abuse usually get’s worse over time. Even though it may be difficult to leave, there are many resources and support systems for batered people.

2. Has your partner cheated on you? For some people this is unforgiveable. If your partner has cheated on you you need to decide if you will be able to forgive them or not. Be honest with yourself. If you know in your heart of hearts that you will never be able to forgive them - you need to end the relationship.

3. Does your partner make more money than you? Perhaps you would have a better life if you left. If your partner makes more money than you, chances are you’ll get a nice alimony (and child support if you have kids) - when you combine that with your own salary you could have a better life. There are some secrets to getting more money from your divorce and also saving on the costs. If you want to be ruthless and get everything you can from your divorce you will have to find the right Divorce Method.

4. Are you happy in the relationship? Sit back for a moment and think to yourself “Am I happy in my relationship?” If you are happy, then great! If you’re not happy then you need to ask another question. Ask yourself “Can I forsee myself ever being happy in this relationship?” If you can see yourself being happy if some small changes are made, then it might be worth your effort to get marital counselling. I want to mention here that the small changes must come from inside you. You do not have the power to change anyone else (including your spouse). If can′t see yourself EVER being happy you should probably get out of the relationship.

5. Is there anything wrong with Divorce? This is a moral decision you need to decide for YOURSELF. When people are confronted with the possiblity of divorce, they usually think about how other people will judge them morally if they get divorced. You need to decide for yourself. Forget about what your parents, priest, minister, rabbi, friends, co-workers, etc.. think about the moral decision for divorce. Take the time to think to yourself “Based on my experiences in my life, Would it be morally ‘wrong’ to get divorced?” This may be a hard decision for you to make, but you need to make it. You should not do something that you believe is morally wrong. You also shouldn’t be obligated to not do something that you want to do if you think it is morally acceptable.

I hope these 5 points have given you some resources that you can decide if you need to get divorced or not. The decision to divorce is never easy, but you do have options. You need to be able to look at your life as whole and decide if it is good or bad. You also need to look at every possible aspect of your relationship with your spouse and see if the good outweighs the bad, or if the bad outweighs the good. Sometimes your judgement is clouded when you only focus on the good or only on the bad. The bottom line is to do what you need to do to have a more fulfilling and happy life.

Good Luck in Life,

Throughout history, and especially today, sex has been a best selling subject, but it’s a fact that most of the best books to educate you in sex are hundreds or even thousands of years old!.

What then are the top three sex books of all time?

These are three that classics should be a part of everyone’s library.

The Kama Sutra

The date the Kama Sutra was written is shrouded in history, and is mentioned in other works as early as the 1st century AD.

It seems it was originally called Kama Shastram (science of desire), but later known as the Kama Sutra (discourses on desire), it is not just a sex manual, but a guide for any man’s life.

There are only 64 sexual positions mentioned in the text, and most would take some degree of sexual and physical skill to achieve, but some are easy and great for both partners in terms of pleasure and easy to do.

The rest of the work is mostly life advice, and strangely, a great deal of it is quite valid today.

Certainly a bit of it is still frowned upon, especially sections like the art of seduction of other men’s wives. Yet it is realistic and appropriate in the life of every man.

The modern translations are all, for the most part, well done.

The reading is interesting, and enlightening.

The book should be a part of every person’s library, as women can learn as much about sex and life from it as men can.

The Perfumed Garden

This timeless classic, written it seems in Tunis sometime in the 16th century (or 925 on the Moslem calendar) by one Sheikh Nefzaoui.

It is a sex manual, straight and certain, covering every aspect of a man and woman’s sexual life.

The information is very straightforward, and unlike all other Arab works, there are no commentaries on any of the sections.

This is obviously due to the subject matter.

However, the sexual positions are attainable, enjoyable, and reasons are often given as to why to do a specific position and not another .

The book even has a philosophical nature to it, as it studies the principles that determine the happiness of a man and a woman.

This by consideration of their mutual and basic relations which are dependent upon their character, their health, and so on.

This is a must read for every sexually active adult.

Memoirs of Jacques Casanova

Although most people in the world know the name of this famous Italian, very few indeed have read his entire memoirs.

The writings of Casanova run into about 4 volumes, and they say more by implication than description.

Actually, it is not a sex manual at all, and except for a very few incidences, Casanova does not go into very much detail about his sexual antics.

However, any man or women who consider themselves as sexual and erotic by nature should read these memoirs.

One finds his 167 conquests believable, as well as most of the amorous rendevouez described.

Jacques Casanova’s importance in terms of sexual importance is reflected in his surname which everyone knows what it means in terms of connotation even if they know nothing about him.

Many people neglect the above books as they feel they are to old and not relevant to becoming a more sexual and loving partner. Read them however and you will see how wrong they are!

Buying your wedding dress is a major concern. You should choose wisely and in good time. Plan well in advance so that it is not rushed or a last-minute expense. Also, make it your personal project so that you get into the details like a terrier. In this way you will get it sorted more quickly and more successfully.

Don’t forget the power of two or more. You are better off shopping for your wedding dress with a companion or two. Tugging a buddy with you makes this whole shopping ordeal more worthwhile. Also, you get the bonus of having another opinion in choosing your wedding dress. More on, your friend’s opinion is more likely to be more objective than what you have as they probably won’t get overwhelmed by the beauty of your wedding dress that they’d end up disregarding your budget. Also, it feels so much better hearing compliments from another person other than salespeople; more so if they come from your friends.

Try to give a larger piece of the pie for salespeople. To avoid feeling frustrated, it’s always best to let salespeople know a bigger part of the picture. They can’t help you much if your descriptions are so general about your wedding dress. Let them help you better by confiding in them your taste, the designs you have in mind and the particular season you plan to get married. This narrows your search down to just a part of their wedding dress selection. Also, don’t feel afraid about sharing with them the budget you have for your wedding dress. This is so you won’t end up fitting in multifarious wedding dresses which are, in the first place, way beyond your budget. The worse thing than wasting too much of your time is blowing your budget for your wedding dress.

Q. My wife and I have been married now for three years, and in the beginning it was wonderful, but now we seem to have grown apart. Part of the problem is that 1 love to be touched; it makes me feel loved So I am always hugging and touching my wife, but she says she doesn’t feel loved by me. Plus, she has stopped touching and hugging me, so consequently, I am beginning to feel unloved by her. Is this relationship over? What can we do to get this changed?

A. Many couples struggle with how to express love. The answer lies in realizing that each of us has our own unique “love language.”

In general, most people need to either see love, hear love or feel love.

Problems can be twofold:

1. We typically don’t know what our partner’s love language is because not only have we not asked, but we also didn’t even know we were supposed to ask.

2. Our natural tendency is to express love in the same way we would most like to receive it That works fine if we have the same love language as our partner.

But guess what?

Most couples have different love languages.

So in this reader’s case, it’s fairly clear that his love language is touch. It’s how he best “gets it” that he is loved.

So naturally, he will communicate love in his own love language - touch. The problem is that his wife′s love language is likely not touch, leading to more and more frustration for both.

The solution is to discover your partner’s love language.

How?

This is gonna be complicated, so hang in there with me:

ASK

I’ll even give you the words:

“In order ‘for you to feel most loved by me, do you need to see it (I do things to show you), hear it (I tell you I love you), or feel it (I hug and touch you)?”

Once you have the answer, you can begin to communicate in that person’s love language.

In this case, I’d be willing to bet that as he learns to communicate more often in his wife’s love language, she will communicate more in his. In other words, he′ll be touched a lot more.

He can thank me later.

It is often said that if you want to know someone, check out their hands. The hands reflect the kind of work we do and the activities we love. The more we are into sports or crafts, the more our hands need care. They even show if you wash your dishes by hand.

Our daily tasks can make our hands so rough. On our wedding day, we want everything to be wonderful and perfect. That means a little pampering is required for one of the most overworked part of our body - our hands.

The first step is to properly shape your nails. Even if your work calls for you to have really short nails, it doesn’t mean you should just square them off. File your nails using an emery board (one direction only please) into the shape that best suits your hand. You′ll be amazed how much more elegant your hand looks, without them being less capable.

Next, you need to get rid of the dead skin on your hands. You can buy one of the ready made products from companies like Sally Hansen or Crabtree and Evelyn. But if you’re working on a budget, you can just fill a bowl with some warm water or buttermilk or natural apple cider vinegar and soak your hands for a while. That will help take the dead skin off.

Taking care of your hands is absolutely relaxing. A little massage of your palms, fingers and wrists can go a long way to helping relieve the stress of preparing for your major event. The great part: this won’t cost you much and you can do it easily.

Considering how much use our hands get, it is a surprise that most people don’t take better care of their hands. It is easy to have great looking hands if you eat right (green leafy vegetables and food rich in iron, vitamin C, B12 and calcium are a must). Improving your diet alone can begin to create wonders in your nails.

Don’t forget to take care of your cuticles. It really isn’t hard to do. You just need to push them gently back towards the half-moon at the base of your nail using the flat side of an orange stick. Be careful not to crack it or damage it. Keep in mind that the cuticles protect your nails from infections. You may want to use a cold pressed oil or olive oil on them to make the process smooth sailing.

Use a fine pumice stone to rub the skin of your hands. This will remove any rough skin and ridges. Don’t rub too hard on stubborn spots. Given enough treatments, it will smooth out.

There are also buffing kits available to make your nails look like you’ve used nail polish when all you really did is sand and polish them. It’s a great natural look that any bride will love.

Last but not least, moisturize your skin. Get your hands soft and smooth by regularly rubbing lotion or moisturizing cream on them. Your husband will love your soft hands. Smooth hands will mean your wedding ring will just glide onto your finger as your husband pledges you his love.

Starting a wedding planning business is like starting any other business. You need to have a business plan, secure a location to set up shop, have a website and other means of advertising and it helps to have some certification in wedding planning.

Weddings are a big expense, with the average wedding costing around $20,000. A wedding planner usually gets about 20% of this price. So as you can see, this is a very good paying business to get into. But do you have what it takes to be a good wedding planner?

To be a good wedding planner you must be highly organized and have an eye for detail. You must learn to be tactful and to be a liason between family members who may have trouble agreeing on certain areas of the wedding. You must be a people person to be a good wedding planner, because that is what it is all about. It is your goal to please everyone that is involved in the special day.

You must decide on the services that you will offer and have your attorney draw up contracts for each one. The different types of services that a wedding planner can offer are:

Complete wedding planning services.

This is the complete package. You coordinate the whole wedding after a consultation with the bride and groom. This includes choosing the theme, preparing the budget, making the guest list, and even providing the information needed to obtain a marriage license. The complete wedding planning service provides a stress free day for the bride and groom.

Partial wedding planning service.

This is where the couple plans their own wedding but need assistance in finding the best vendors for services. You will have an initial consultation with the bride and groom. After finding out what kind of wedding they are planning, you supply them with a list of suitable vendors to fit their needs. This list will include caterers, photographers, printers etc.

Rehearsal and wedding day services only.

Some couples want to plan the whole wedding but want help when it comes to the rehearsal and actual wedding day. You will coordinate the rehearsal and dinner. You will confirm with the vendors that everything is in place for the wedding day and oversee the wedding ceremony to make sure everything flows smoothly.

A lot of wedding planners will offer all three services, while some prefer to do just the complete planning package.

There are various wedding planning courses that you can take to obtain a certificate in wedding planning. It is a good idea to take one of these courses and get your certificate before you set up shop. Most people will be very hesitant to pay you good money unless you can produce some type of training or prior experience in wedding planning services.

Becoming a wedding planner is a glamorous and exciting job for the right person. Do your research, get certified, and start your wedding planning business.
