I digress in this rather philosophical manner only to draw attention to a concept that is crucial to self-development and fundamental for one’s quest for happiness in relationships. It is paramount that an individual have some level of understanding of himself or herself when moving forward to pursue love. It is my strong belief that many couples struggle in their relationships, beyond what might be considered to be a normal or expected level of investment, simply because they are mismatched. Why are they mismatched? Perhaps because they were seeking out their ideal – something closer to what they modeled in early development – rather than a true match. This may not be a conscious process, and it is something that we all do. But the bottom line is, finding a proper match requires knowing oneself, and this is no easy task. It requires insight and complete honesty with oneself, and most importantly, humility about what one truly brings to the table. We all tend to aim higher than where we are truly positioned. This is not necessarily a negative thing, but when combined with the fact that most of us do not understand or perceive ourselves as others perceive us, the overestimation and inaccuracy of who we think we are can lead to complete mismatching.
Okayso how does one begin to “know oneself?” Well, if you are up for the challenge, you can write up your online profile and discuss it with your friends and family. Pick people who you know will give you honest feedback, and be ready to hear it and process it. Make sure they pick the photos you will put up online, because chances are, they will pick the three photos that actually look like you now, whereas you are likely to pick the three photos that hardly look like you and instead look like what you would like to look like all the time. Just as an aside, most of us do not like our own photographs, and there is a legitimate reason. Most people have slightly asymmetrical features, often very subtle but still extant. When we see ourselves on a daily basis it is by looking in a mirror, which is a reversed image of our face, and reverse also from what a photograph would reveal. Thus, we almost do not recognize ourselves in photos and are often not comfortable with how we look because what we see in photos is actually what other people see, but not what we see in the mirror. I hope that having this insight will make you all think a little bit. It’s an interesting phenomenon, indeed! So back to our homework of how we might come to better know ourselves. Another experience that is likely to help you understand yourself better is therapy or counseling – brief or longer-term. It does require a great deal more time, energy, and emotional investment, however, the benefits are also great. Therapy or counseling (whichever you are more comfortable using) is not reserved simply for the desperate folks who have no other means for coping or who have reached the pit of Dante’s Inferno. Therapy is a safe, confidential, and ideally positive space within which an individual can process difficult life experiences, past or present, and obtain new tools or sharpen coping skills that can help in battling daily frustrations. We all have some “baggage” from childhood and past relationships, and most of us have learned at least a few maladaptive coping strategies from our parents. Most of us have not properly learned the most critical of life skills – healthy communication skills – even though we attempt to practice them daily. This is a topic that I will devote an entire essay to in this series about dating and healthy relationships because it is the cornerstone of a thriving relationship and ultimately the guarantor of its longevity.
We must be honest with ourselves about our limitations, but also confident about our strengths. Profiles and online dating can be challenging because not only do we often have an inaccurate perception of ourselves, but we also filter out all negative information, which leaves us with a very “ideal” and positive, and slightly inaccurate depiction of ourselves. Research in social psychology has demonstrated over and over again that although opposites may attract, in the end, we are much happier with people who are like us. We tend to pair up with people who are about the same level in terms of looks, intelligence, socioeconomic status, and so forth. And we are actually more likely to end up in a lasting relationship when there is more similarity than difference. This makes sense if you really think about it. If we agree on all the basics (e.g., religion, political affiliation, values/morals, philosophy of life, child-raising views) and have experienced life in a similar way (e.g., comparable levels of education, financial opportunities, social resources), then we are likely to argue about less issues, feel less threatened by differences and more validated by similarities. This results in a more harmonious relationship. Let’s face it; even with all of these things in common, life and our external world (e.g., work, in-laws, financial stress, health problems) still offer a multitude of challenges to any marriage or marital-like relationship.
Statistically, early marriage (i.e., marriage at a very young age, such as teenage or early 20’s) is almost guaranteed to dissolve. Although we may undergo most of our physical transformation between birth and 20, it is our psychological transformation that takes over from our 20’s on. New research in neuroscience suggests that the human brain is not even completely developed until the early 20’s, which means that our higher cognitive abilities only begin to take flight in our third decade of life. Given this knowledge, it all makes sense, right? Most people would agree that we change dramatically from age 20 to age 30 or 35. There is simply no substitute for life experience, irrespective of how “mature” a 20-something year-old may seem. I hear this all the time. “I met this woman. She’s 15 years younger than me, but she’s so mature.” Well, here’s my two-cents worth. She’s not mature. She lacks 15 years of life experience. Period. Perhaps she is intelligent, and this is masquerading as maturity. There is no substitute for life experience. Maturity and wisdom derive from life experience. Intelligence is a different story.
So, what’s my point? Here’s my point: we must know ourselves in order to figure out what we are looking for. When we have a strong sense of self and a firm self-identity, then we have clarity. Clarity allows us to accurately view the reality of our situations and true characteristics of the people that we meet. We gain clarity and insight through life experience, but also through being honest and intelligent with ourselves. Thus, it is not necessarily time per se (although some is naturally required for life experiences to be had) but also the quality of how that time is spent, that can provide us with even better perspective. Unfortunately, there is no formula. Some people may remain drowned in the sea of denial for decades, and perhaps a lifetime, and may never attain that great love. Some may gain insight quickly and early on, because they dare to be vulnerable, and humbled by life and love experiences.
The bottom line: Don’t rush your life. Life is a process to be enjoyed, one day at a time. Don’t miss all the fun in between in your sprint to the finish line. There are no mistakes, only life lessonslessons that will help you understand yourself better if you are willing to be open to that knowledge.

Imagine having someone else choose your future life partner. For thousands of years, arranged marriages were the norm in many cultures. Now, the mindsets of Middle Eastern men and Middle Eastern girls are changing. With access to the online world and modern lifestyles, Arab men and Arab women are fighting for their relationship freedom - making their own decisions about who their future partner will be. Meeting and building relationships with people that have the same values, background and beliefs can be a challenge. Todays busy lifestyles make it difficult to meet potential partners. Having the same ideals, culture and religion are the basis of a mutually successful and lasting relationship. Lets take a closer look at the meaning of arranged marriage. Arranged marriage - also called or marriage - is a marriage arranged by someone other than the persons getting married. These marriages are common in the Middle East (Muslim men and Muslim women), South Asia and also occur in the Unification Movement and royal families. The term arranged marriage is used even if the Arab parents have no direct involvement in selecting the spouse. The match could be selected by an Arab matchmaking agent or a trusted third party. In many communities, priests or religious leaders (as well as relatives or family friends) play a major role in matchmaking. Motivating factors for such a marriage tend to be social or economic (i. e. Arab family or community goals served by the marriage are the priority). The preference of the Arab man or woman being married was considered insignificant. The new world of arranged marriageOnline dating or Internet dating allows Arab singles to meet online and develop a relationship that leads to a marriage they choose to take part in. Arab dating sites provide un-moderated matchmaking through the use of personal computers and the Internet. Arab singles looking to date simply provide personal information, and then search for other compatible Muslim singles using criteria such as age range, gender and location. Most Arab dating sites allow members to Chat, upload photos of themselves and browse the photos of others. Arab dating sites offer additional services - such as video chats, online chat and message boards. Here, single Arabs can exchange information and meet online. Its easy to see why single Arab men and women enjoy online dating: they have complete freedom of choice and have a chance to get to know their potential partner!Many online dating sites are broad-based, with members from a variety of backgrounds looking for different types of relationships. Obviously, Arab dating sites are more specific, but they offer Arab singles many more choices than an arranged marriage would. Welcome to the new world of technology vs. traditionRelated pages

When I published the last news about Google’s suspected acquisition talks with a Jordanian startup, I was pressured by many to reveal the name of the company or the source/s name.
Look there is a thin line between journalism and blogging, however they share many aspects, when a source/s say: keep me anonymous he stays anonymous, no one outside ArabCrunch will know about him/her, not even the closest person to me, not my dad not my mom! Like any respected blogger or journalist, I am even ready to go to jail and not reveal the source name!
Someone pressured me to tell him the source/s name/s, he told me I’ll tip you with better and hotter news (worldwide exclusivity) just if you reveal the source/s name/s, I declined. Then he got angry and told me I won’t favor you with our news and I won’t tip you anything anymore. Look I do not care, if you send your news to us that is good for you and for us, you get some help to gain more publicity and we get content, we are not claiming to be mainstream, but we have a affair fair amount of visitors readers who are passionate about Arab startups and the web. (I reserve the right to disclose the name of the person who pressured me, but as you can see I did not.)
ArabCrunch maintains a high level of professionalism. We do not swap things to get news. We are not cheap! And we do not accept payments to post about you: you want to pay then you are welcomed to advertise. You are a partner/advertiser, we disclose this when we write about you, you pay us our travel expenses to visit you so we write about you, we also disclose this to the world. However we only won’t disclose when we write about you- if you were for example a confidential partner/shareholder.-
Like any professional blog/media we love breaking news, we love to have exclusive content and we love to be tipped with breaking news, nevertheless we do not sell our principals. And that person or anyone should put himself on the other person/s position, if he/she tips me with news and then I reveal his name to others in exchange for a great story or anything else, he will also get upset, and won’t deal with AC us anymore! So treat others the same way you wana want to be treated.
We do not just do maintain our news tipping policy in order not to make anyone angry or and in order not to lose our sources, but to be fair with everyone and maintain trust and reputation as a reliable source of Arab startups and tech news. Moreover if we discover that that the tip was baseless, its source will lose all credibility and we won’t deal with him/her anymore..etc.
I hope everyone understand this.
Thanks.
Gaith, ArabCrunch Editor.

Single women often think they are depressed because they do not have a man, but its not as simple as that. In a recent womens retreat for singles, Monica says something that caused the other women to nod in recognition.m discouraged with this dating business. I keep meeting all these awful men. Well, some are okay. I may even really like a man, but it all ends the same. Her voice rises. They never call back. Monica, the other women at the retreat, and like many women, question, s wrong with me? After acknowledging shes not cold, unemotional, boring, or too pushy, she grudgingly concludes even if she were, the mens behavior towards her hadnt indicated theyd noticed. Claudia, listening to Monica but also thinking of herself, laughingly asks, But what else could it be? If I knew what my problem was, I could fix it. That would make it easier.We all have things in our life we wish were different to be taller, shorter, have blue vs. brown eyes, to have musical talent. But you havent spent years trying to change yourself into a 5 blue-eyed piano virtuoso. It would be nice, butIt is easy to give up these wishes because there is no value judgment, no social or family pressure about changing your eight or eye color.Not having a loving partner, though, is an ambiguous loss that is, a loss for which there is no resolution, like grieving over someone in a coma. Shes not dead so you cant grieve and move on. Nor, though, is she alive so you can move on with your life. You are stuck in the middle. There is also no resolution for single women; there is nothing you can do; you have no control over making an appropriate man appear in your life. Yet, society, family, even yourself, believe you should be doing something about being single.The bind for single women is that what feels like depression may actually be de-pressed anger anger at being single, at an individual man, or at men in general for not being marriage material. So, are Monica and Claudia (and all the other single women) depressed, or are they suffering from the ambiguous loss not knowing if or when they will even meet an appropriate man? Another woman, Jennifer, says that having a label for what shes feeling, was helpful. I have been saying I was depressed, but I knew it didnt feel like real depression which I had years ago. So I do know the difference. But what do I do. She looks around at the other professional, competent women, and adds, What do we all do; we still dont like not having someone?These women are anything but losers. They have lives good jobs, friends, hobbies and interests. They have chosen to come to a weekend retreat for always single and single again women because they are hurting about this one aspect of their life not having a man. I validate how hard it is to be single in a society that is very subtly prejudiced against singles. Then I make a distinction between what they do and dont have control over. You do not have any control to make an appropriate man appear in your life. Therefore, do whatever you want about meeting men, but at the same time, lets think how you might remove your self-blame and live with the ambiguity of not knowing if you will or will not ever meet him.Monica makes a list of all the things she has always said shed like to do some day. In looking it over, she adds, d need more friends to do things with; most of my friends are married.Claudia sits quietly, looking at her list. Finally, she asks, Why do I feel a bit better? I shouldnt. Youve just told me to prepare for being a spinster? No, I havent, really. Ive just redefined what all of you are already feeling. Youre not clinically depressed; youre struggling with the ambiguity of being single, with an ambiguous loss, Ive only told you to be prepared to enjoy what life you now have while continuing to want what may or may not come next. And, I reminded you that being single may not be your fault. It actually shouldnt make you feel much better, I smile.True. I could feel real depressed now, couldnt I? It reminds me of my father; maybe I should learn from him. He always wanted my brother to join his law practice. Hes never really gotten over his disappointment my brother went into sales -- although he could change his mind one day. If he can carry on with his disappointment, I should be able to. But it still hurts. I dont think Ill ever feel good about not having a husband. I want one!Of course you do. I look at her and then all the other women. And no, you may never get over being sad you dont have one AND not knowing if you ever will. Thats life. What you do have to get over, though, is blaming yourself and calling yourself depressed. Youve been trying to find something wrong with you to explain why you arent married. You do have to get over de-pressing your anger at their not being enough appropriate men or at a prejudiced society. And, you do have to get on with your other dreams while waiting.Give yourself credit. Living with ambiguity is difficult. When there is no clarity, there is no closure. This makes it harder for Monica and Claudia and for all single women, to grieve the loss of the white picket fence dream and move on. Remembering that, not blaming yourself, wont take away your sadness at not having a man, but it will make it easier, for however long, to be unmarriedSee more here

internet dating.

Whilst for some this may have been really obvious, it was not something I had considered before, and it struck me as something of an epiphany. I was so impressed by the unforeseen logic of it all I immediately sought out my nearest PC and set to work a character for myself on . I have to admit, I have been a little sceptical of internet dating in the past. I thought it the pursuit only of desperate losers and ugly people, but my friend reassured me that I was guaranteed to find lots of attractive, cool media types (such as myself, natch) who were just too busy leading exciting lives to meet people the conventional way. So I dug out all the photographs of myself that didnt include me looking pissed and/or cross-eyed, and didnt have any of my more attractive friends in, and pasted them up for inspection.

Sure enough, within a day my inbox was beginning to fill up. Admittedly some of the characters who contacted me looked as if they had done so from another planet, but as the days rolled on I actually found some gems in amongst the rubble. And there was one in particular who caught my eye by the name of CharlieBoy.

As I read through his profile, upon which he had included one picture and very little witty comment, I thought to myself, Why is this stupidly hot and successful twenty-five year old looking for dates on the internet? I silenced those too good to be true doubts and decided to go with it. We arranged a date and when said day arrived, I spent approximately two hours waxing, painting, dusting and spritzing, before finally venturing out to the approved spot.

After waiting ten minutes past the agreed time, I was already on the phone to a friend ranting and slagging him off, whilst planning to jump on the next train and do one, when CharlieBoy appeared as if by magic in front of me. He looked ruffled and unshaven (and even at this stage a little voice screamed in dismay as I thought back to my afternoon of preparation.) but he was there and so we made our way to the bar.

Despite the dishevelled appearance, he was charming and polite, and every bit as pretty as his lonely photo suggested. He bought the wine without question and seemed genuinely interested in listening to me babble on about all of my recent city adventures.

When it came to closing time, the inevitable happened. After a shared cigarette and a kiss, we drifted into the taxi queue, and on discovering that we both lived in the same postcode, sharing a cab was a given. Before the date I had sternly instructed myself to avoid this situation at all costs. I like dating and all that goes with it, but I also like it to end with a quick snog and no more. Leave the bumping of uglies until at least the fourth (ok, maybe second if theyre really hot...) date. On this occasion, however, all of my pre-planned policies went out the taxi window with my cigarette butt, and I allowed myself to be lured back to his lair for more wine, and later on some frantic underwear removal.

In the morning I awoke to find my stubbly prince charming, dressed and ready to embark on a shopping mission to provide me with sustenance as a reward for my stellar performance the night before (hey... its my story and if I say Im bloody amazing in the sack just believe it, alright). Whilst he busied himself with the foraging, I wrapped myself in his dressing gown and made my way to the kitchen. It was a bit cold so I put my hands in his oversized pockets and was surprised to pull out a five pound note. thinks I. But then as I removed the contents of the second pocket my heart sank. A used condom wrapper.

When he arrived back, it was with a raised eyebrow that I presented my pocket treasures. His face was innocence personified. But thats yours baby!Er... no. Its not.
And with a nonchalant shrug, he laughed and said, Oh well!

I left soon after, and I cant imagine youll be surprised to hear that I never heard from CharlieBoy again.

I hope my tale of woe has served as a clear enough caveat to all those who have tried dating on the internet. Amongst the desperados and oddballs there actually are some lovely sweet, young things waiting to be snapped up. But there are also sharks. And their bite, whilst not fatal, is vicious and indiscriminate as they cruise around looking for likely candidates for a quick meal. My advice to those swimming in shark infested waters is to try to avoid disappointing losers like CharlieBoy. And keep your knickers on.

Many of us tend to compartmentalize our sexual selves. We not only remove sex from the rest of our identity (so sex becomes merely a thing we do, not all the things we are) but we also draw artificial boundaries around our sexual desires. We deny long held sexual fantasies, we act in certain ways because it is what we think is expected of us based on our gender, or our age.

But sexuality is who we are, and no matter how hard we try to deny sexual aspects of ourselves we might consider embarrassing or unseemly, sexuality is one of the life forces that touches all aspects of who we are; our mind, our body and our spirit.

Take some time over this week and next and pay attention to the ways that your sexual mind, sexual body, and sexual spirit, act in harmony, and how tapping into those connections can open up new sexual possibilities. Its not as flakey as it sounds!

Maybe youll notice the way that you feel walking down the street on a good day, when youre happy in your body and feeling sexy. Pay attention to the way people interact with you when youre feeling this way.

Maybe youll experiment with breathing techniques when youre masturbating and notice how the moment just before you orgasm can feel sometimes, and just plain dirty other times.

Maybe you will try to vocalize more when youre having sex with a partner, whether that means actually talking and describing what you are feeling, or allowing your body to make uncensored sounds that can also express what is going on for you in the moment.

Maybe youll pay more attention to the subtle ways that sex comes up in family discussions. Does it get joked about? Is it never spoken about? Are there family members youve never talked to about sex? Maybe youll take a chance and talk to them this year about something that feels comfortable to bring up.

Maybe you will pay more attention to the way people look at you when youre outside in public, and the way you do, or dont, look back at them. A casual glance can be a sexual encounter, and .

Maybe youll pay extra attention to how your body feels when youre listening to your favorite music, and notice that the simple act of listening to a song can be a sexual experience.

There is no one way to do this, but turning your attention inward, and giving yourself permission to think about anything (or everything) as sexual, can open your mind up to the connections that are ever present in us between our physical, psychological, and spiritual experience of sexuality.

Okayso how does one begin to “know oneself?” Well, if you are up for the challenge, you can write up your online profile and discuss it with your friends and family. Pick people who you know will give you honest feedback, and be ready to hear it and process it. Make sure they pick the photos you will put up online, because chances are, they will pick the three photos that actually look like you now, whereas you are likely to pick the three photos that hardly look like you and instead look like what you would like to look like all the time.

I hope that having this insight will make you all think a little bit. It’s an interesting phenomenon, indeed! So back to our homework of how we might come to better know ourselves. Another experience that is likely to help you understand yourself better is therapy or counseling – brief or longer-term. It does require a great deal more time, energy, and emotional investment, however, the benefits are also great.

This is a topic that I will devote an entire essay to in this series about dating and healthy relationships because it is the cornerstone of a thriving relationship and ultimately the guarantor of its longevity.
We must be honest with ourselves about our limitations, but also confident about our strengths. Profiles and online dating can be challenging because not only do we often have an inaccurate perception of ourselves, but we also filter out all negative information, which leaves us with a very “ideal” and positive, and slightly inaccurate depiction of ourselves. Research in social psychology has demonstrated over and over again that although opposites may attract, in the end, we are much happier with people who are like us. We tend to pair up with people who are about the same level in terms of looks, intelligence, socioeconomic status, and so forth. And we are actually more likely to end up in a lasting relationship when there is more similarity than difference. This makes sense if you really think about it. If we agree on all the basics (e.g., religion, political affiliation, values/morals, philosophy of life, child-raising views) and have experienced life in a similar way (e.g., comparable levels of education, financial opportunities, social resources), then we are likely to argue about less issues, feel less threatened by differences and more validated by similarities. This results in a more harmonious relationship. Let’s face it; even with all of these things in common, life and our external world (e.g., work, in-laws, financial stress, health problems) still offer a multitude of challenges to any marriage or marital-like relationship.
Statistically, early marriage (i.e., marriage at a very young age, such as teenage or early 20’s) is almost guaranteed to dissolve. Although we may undergo most of our physical transformation between birth and 20, it is our psychological transformation that takes over from our 20’s on. New research in neuroscience suggests that the human brain is not even completely developed until the early 20’s, which means that our higher cognitive abilities only begin to take flight in our third decade of life. Given this knowledge, it all makes sense, right? Most people would agree that we change dramatically from age 20 to age 30 or 35. There is simply no substitute for life experience, irrespective of how “mature” a 20-something year-old may seem. I hear this all the time. “I met this woman. She’s 15 years younger than me, but she’s so mature.” Well, here’s my two-cents worth. She’s not mature. She lacks 15 years of life experience. Period. Perhaps she is intelligent, and this is masquerading as maturity. There is no substitute for life experience. Maturity and wisdom derive from life experience. Intelligence is a different story.
So, what’s my point? Here’s my point: we must know ourselves in order to figure out what we are looking for. When we have a strong sense of self and a firm self-identity, then we have clarity. Clarity allows us to accurately view the reality of our situations and true characteristics of the people that we meet. We gain clarity and insight through life experience, but also through being honest and intelligent with ourselves. Thus, it is not necessarily time per se (although some is naturally required for life experiences to be had) but also the quality of how that time is spent, that can provide us with even better perspective. Unfortunately, there is no formula. Some people may remain drowned in the sea of denial for decades, and perhaps a lifetime, and may never attain that great love. Some may gain insight quickly and early on, because they dare to be vulnerable, and humbled by life and love experiences.
The bottom line: Don’t rush your life. Life is a process to be enjoyed, one day at a time. Don’t miss all the fun in between in your sprint to the finish line. There are no mistakes, only life lessonslessons that will help you understand yourself better if you are willing to be open to that knowledge.

I digress in this rather philosophical manner only to draw attention to a concept that is crucial to self-development and fundamental for one’s quest for happiness in relationships. It is paramount that an individual have some level of understanding of himself or herself when moving forward to pursue love. It is my strong belief that many couples struggle in their relationships, beyond what might be considered to be a normal or expected level of investment, simply because they are mismatched. Why are they mismatched? Perhaps because they were seeking out their ideal – something closer to what they modeled in early development – rather than a true match. This may not be a conscious process, and it is something that we all do. But the bottom line is, finding a proper match requires knowing oneself, and this is no easy task. It requires insight and complete honesty with oneself, and most importantly, humility about what one truly brings to the table. We all tend to aim higher than where we are truly positioned. This is not necessarily a negative thing, but when combined with the fact that most of us do not understand or perceive ourselves as others perceive us, the overestimation and inaccuracy of who we think we are can lead to complete mismatching.
Okayso how does one begin to “know oneself?” Well, if you are up for the challenge, you can write up your online profile and discuss it with your friends and family. Pick people who you know will give you honest feedback, and be ready to hear it and process it. Make sure they pick the photos you will put up online, because chances are, they will pick the three photos that actually look like you now, whereas you are likely to pick the three photos that hardly look like you and instead look like what you would like to look like all the time. Just as an aside, most of us do not like our own photographs, and there is a legitimate reason. Most people have slightly asymmetrical features, often very subtle but still extant. When we see ourselves on a daily basis it is by looking in a mirror, which is a reversed image of our face, and reverse also from what a photograph would reveal. Thus, we almost do not recognize ourselves in photos and are often not comfortable with how we look because what we see in photos is actually what other people see, but not what we see in the mirror. I hope that having this insight will make you all think a little bit. It’s an interesting phenomenon, indeed! So back to our homework of how we might come to better know ourselves. Another experience that is likely to help you understand yourself better is therapy or counseling – brief or longer-term. It does require a great deal more time, energy, and emotional investment, however, the benefits are also great. Therapy or counseling (whichever you are more comfortable using) is not reserved simply for the desperate folks who have no other means for coping or who have reached the pit of Dante’s Inferno. Therapy is a safe, confidential, and ideally positive space within which an individual can process difficult life experiences, past or present, and obtain new tools or sharpen coping skills that can help in battling daily frustrations. We all have some “baggage” from childhood and past relationships, and most of us have learned at least a few maladaptive coping strategies from our parents. Most of us have not properly learned the most critical of life skills – healthy communication skills – even though we attempt to practice them daily. This is a topic that I will devote an entire essay to in this series about dating and healthy relationships because it is the cornerstone of a thriving relationship and ultimately the guarantor of its longevity.
We must be honest with ourselves about our limitations, but also confident about our strengths. Profiles and online dating can be challenging because not only do we often have an inaccurate perception of ourselves, but we also filter out all negative information, which leaves us with a very “ideal” and positive, and slightly inaccurate depiction of ourselves. Research in social psychology has demonstrated over and over again that although opposites may attract, in the end, we are much happier with people who are like us. We tend to pair up with people who are about the same level in terms of looks, intelligence, socioeconomic status, and so forth. And we are actually more likely to end up in a lasting relationship when there is more similarity than difference. This makes sense if you really think about it. If we agree on all the basics (e.g., religion, political affiliation, values/morals, philosophy of life, child-raising views) and have experienced life in a similar way (e.g., comparable levels of education, financial opportunities, social resources), then we are likely to argue about less issues, feel less threatened by differences and more validated by similarities. This results in a more harmonious relationship. Let’s face it; even with all of these things in common, life and our external world (e.g., work, in-laws, financial stress, health problems) still offer a multitude of challenges to any marriage or marital-like relationship.
Statistically, early marriage (i.e., marriage at a very young age, such as teenage or early 20’s) is almost guaranteed to dissolve. Although we may undergo most of our physical transformation between birth and 20, it is our psychological transformation that takes over from our 20’s on. New research in neuroscience suggests that the human brain is not even completely developed until the early 20’s, which means that our higher cognitive abilities only begin to take flight in our third decade of life.

Fascist Muslims, dont represent all Muslims. The people that crashed planes into buildings are commiting suicide which is strictly against the religion of Islam, they do it out of Arab Nationalism. Many White Christians have builded bombs to blow up Americans, but do you hate all White Christians?
The reason why there is so much violence in the world is because of hatred, hatred is the reason why human races/tribes could not live equally together throughout history, until recently. Hatred is what causes terrorism. In the bible it says you cant fight evil with evil and to not envy sinners.
There are many Arabs and Muslims in the United States Armed Forces, there are many Arabs and Muslims that teach the evils of terrorism to their fellow Muslims in Mosques throughout the world.
Hatred stems from ignorance, if you do some research, you will realize that terrorism is strictly against Islam, and that many Arabs living in the United States of America want to enjoy the opportunities of this great country like any other racial group does.

If he were not that far away I do believe that it is important to include the person that you are dating in other parts of your life. I am still asking my boyfriend for his opinion of what I should do for my daughter’s birthday. If he were here I would invite him and his son to the event. I believe that to truly date someone and build a relationship with them you need to include them in your life.

It seems everyone you meet these days is a self-proclaimed psychologist. From radio talk shows, television interviews, romance novels, weekly magazines, to cliques at work; everybody has an opinion on the latest mental illness. I was first introduced to practical psychology when I joined the United States Air Force in 1970. It was expected that Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) would become counselors to their subordinates. Profession military education devoted entire chapters and lectures on non-directive or eclectic counseling techniques. Maslow's hierarchy of needs was drilled into our heads. We were stely waed to avoid any mention of religion, but instead to make ample use of psychological techniques.
Paul Vitz in his book Psychology as Religion attempts to expose psychology for what it really is, i.e., religion. He begins by giving the reader a brief biography on the fathers of the mode psychology movement along with some of their theories. The opening chapter was dry reading but I suppose necessary as a historical backdrop. My interest peaked when I immediately recognized Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow since I was forced to study them for 26 years while in the military. Vitz also discusses Carl Jung, Erich Fromn, and Rollo May as being significant contributors to the movement.
Vitz quickly transitions into explaining the concept of self-esteem which he promotes as the center of the entire selfism movement. This became important to me as it seems no matter where you tu, a lack of or poor self-esteem appears to be the cause of every ill known to mankind. For a movement to be so widespread to the point where psychology has been woven into the gospel message, Vitz says that the self-esteem concept has no clear intellectual origins. Thats a surprising claim considering the impact selfism has had on academia and the practice of counseling.
Vitz states that self-esteem should be understood as an emotional response and not a cause. He says it is a reaction to what we have done and what others have done to us. High self-esteem is a desirable feeling to have (like happiness), but the feeling itself isnt the cause of anything. In trying to obtain a feeling of self-esteem, the only successful way is to do good to others or accomplish something. In so doing, youll get all the self-esteem you want. However, the downside is people begin to pursue happiness as a far greater goal than the goal of obtaining personal holiness.
Not only is selfism a self-defeating goal for the Christian, Vitz goes on to make the case that it is also simply bad science and a warped philosophy. The little clinical evidence that does exist is mostly based on empirical observations and doesnt stand the test of solid scientific problem solving. He exposes flaws in each step of the process, from stating the problem, forming and testing the hypothesis, to testing the conclusion. He also identifies several philosophical contradictions and in some cases, actual misrepresentations. The spread of this bad science and faulty philosophy is believed by the author to have contributed to the destruction of families. Additionally, the entire recovery group mentality convinces the person with low self-esteem that their ills are due to trauma inflicted on them in the past. Recovery group therapy strokes the patient with self-pity thereby convincing the clients are victims. Once labeled, the now assumes the attitude of victimhood.
Values clarification has become the model taught in schools and begins with the assumption that man is naturally good. Since the developers of values clarification reject moral teachings, Vitz claims that if responsible adults, i.e., teachers, dont promote good values then someone else will. Providing a permissive environment supposedly nourishes the child by granting satisfaction for the childs desires and interests. However, this philosophy is bankrupt because kids will assume the values of irresponsible sources in lieu of responsible ones. This combined with the aforementioned teachings has produced a society of victims where everyone is pointing to blame someone else for their misfortunes.
Vitz takes three chapters to present a Christian analysis and criticism of humanistic self-theories. He gives the credit to our educational system for the transformation of our society into a culture of pure selfism. He notes that the New Age movement has many founders, but Abraham Maslows theories have been the most influential. Vitz argues his Christian critique within a historical framework and the impact it has had on the evolution of our society. Unfortunately he gives scant attention to biblical references for his position, but does show how the selfism heresy affects teachings on depression, idolatry, and suffering. He closes his work with the observation, "never have so many people been so self-conscious, so aware of the self as something to be expressed...., the self has become an object to itself." (I think this may make the case that self-esteem has become a new barometric indicator to the question everyone asks, "How are you doing today?")
Overall, Vitz's book uses a cerebral approach in attempting to prove that self-worship is simply a religion. Biblical counselors looking for material to help their counselees break free of a selfish worldview of life will be disappointed. Then again, Vitz didn't write his book for that purpose. Moreover, he provides a wealth of information and a refreshing argument against those who say, "You can't teach religion in public schools." This leaves the reader with an irony: it's not a question of should we or should we not teach religion in public schools, but instead, what religion will we teach; selfism or Christianity.

Have you ever kissed a girl before and it just seemed completely awkward? You put your lips in one place and she puts her lips in another and before you know it your teeth crash together, and than you try a little tongue action only to choke her to death, and than all of a sudden you make this loud disgusting slimy noise that just blows the whole mood. Well than you came to the right place!
I'm going to walk you through several steps you must take to "kiss a girl and drive her crazy".
Step 1. So you've been on several dates with somebody and now your ready to take the next step. To ascertain the understanding that a kiss is about to presume amongst both parties, use the skillful technique of touch and whisper. Playfully touch or graze her arm (not her hand) and say something funny, romantic or poetic in her ear to break the ice. You could also find something funny about something or someone on the street and whisper in her ear "hey look at that funny guy over there". This will distract her from the fact that you are like a few inches away from her ear. Now once she turns her head back after giggling for a second, you can sort of get the signal. This works as an indirect approach. This will warm the plate and send a more definite signal that she wants to kiss you.
Step 2. IMITATION: This is the most important step of all steps. As you slowly touch her lips, gently imitate her movements "equal" to her intensity level. Pay careful attention to the way she moves. You don't want to come in too aggressive as this may cause her to lose trust in you and be turned off. I know, I know some women like it rough but trust me, the one that you want, wants it nice and easy. This will make her feel very relaxed around you. Women have this preconceived notion and fantasy of how their knight in shining armor will sweep them off their feet with a kiss. Following there movement is basically following how they want it. In a way, they are subconsciously showing you how they want to be kissed. So by imitating her technique you are essentially being the person she fantasizes about.
Step 3. RELAX: Don't tighten up your mouth, jaws and tongue. Keep your mouth area nice and loose.
Step 4. OPEN OR CLOSED: Pay attention to whether or not she kisses you with her eyes open or closed. If she has her eyes open then she is doing either 1 of 3 things. 1.) She is losing trust in you 2.) She is self conscious about the way she is kissing and is watching your reaction 3.) Your breath smells like hot garbage and she feels very uncomfortable. In any case, you must step up your game plan, modify your technique or grab a breath mint if you fall into scenario 3. Remember you want to make her feel that she kisses just as good as you whether she does or not. I find it rather creepy when you open your eyes during a kiss only to find her staring at you.
Step 5. LEADERSHIP: Lead her as if you were doing the samba or salsa but very subtly and gently. Remember you have to keep in mind that women want a strong leader. Slowly transition yourself to the next position. For example: Gently place your two lips on her bottom lip and slowly graze a little tongue underneath the bottom lip. Then allow her to take the initiative to return the favor if she desires.
Step 6. HOW LONG? Well of course there really is no set time limit but it is always good for you to pull away first before she does. You have to do it in a way that does not make her feel that she did not perform well.
Step 7. WHEN DO I STOP AND WHAT DO I DO AFTER? So right before your lips start to get numb slowly disable your lips from hers just as seductive as the way you were kissing her. Your body language tells everything so make sure you smile and blush for her. Tell her how good of a kisser she is. Then turn away and start an interesting intellectual conversation. Why would I want to do this? Women like a man who is intelligent, can hold a conversation, and more importantly has "strong will power and self control". It will leave her hypnotized, mesmerized and make you look like an enigma. Never ask her if you were a good kisser. You should be confident enough to know that you are the best.
Well that's all I have for you today folks but remember that life is short and a kiss is just a kiss.

The geographical locations of the members. It matters that your target's location can make it possible for you to meet up. Your end point is to go out with the person and then allow the growth of a romantic relationship. Yet, if you can make long distance romances work, then you may search from wider geographical areas.

The Truth about Russian Dating services More and more foreign men are browsing through internet sites which offer Russian dating services. And it is not surprising why. For them, the Russian woman is the ideal brideyoung and attractive, submissive yet confident. Other sources of finding a partner are events which are meant to be hosted for the benefit of the singles. Your community, church, and office may sponsor an event that would gather up all singles. Take part in them as well. Another is the so-called speed dating. The process is like that of a job interview. In no time at all, you can get the results.

At the onset, choose the website well. Out of the thousands of sites available, choose one which would best define the kind of person that you want to meet and the relationship that you want to have. People go through internet dating for many reasonsacquaintances, love, long term relationships. You don't want to join an adult dating services site if you are looking for a serious relationship. In the same way, if you are seeking for a soulmate or lifetime partner, then avoid these sexual or erotic sites. Be specific in choosing a website. You will be amazed at the wide variety of websites available. This has led to the development of video dating services, where video messages are made instead of ordinary phone messages. Through this, you are able to see the person instead of just hearing the voice.
