6 Signs Your Man Is A Con Artist

He’s a smooth operator. These guys don’t get away with all the stuff they get away with because they don’t know how to work people. If the first time you met this man he seemed to be “too good to be true,” then keep your eyes and ears open. Instant intimacy. He will likely want to move very fast into a relationship; all the better to gain your trust and get what he needs out of you....

7 Ways To Deal When He Wants More Sex Than You Do

Daily, weekly, monthly, or, gulp, annually? When my husband and I first starting dating, we did it every free minute we had. Which translated to a couple of times a week. Fast forward a decade and I’m still as hot for him as ever, but our weekly average has definitely declined. I’m okay with weekly or twice-weekly sexual encounters. Couple that with a few quick sessions with myself when I’m alone in the house and I’m done....

8 First Period Horror Stories To Make Your Teen Daughter Laugh

Anyway, now that I’m over the trauma (mostly), I love hearing other women’s first-period stories. So I asked a bunch of my friends to tell me theirs. Did anyone have a positive, affirming story? Hell no, it’s shame and disaster all around — but we can all laugh now, right? Please tell me it’s better for teen girls here in the 21st century.

8 Perfect Picnic Foods That Don T Require Refrigeration

A Dating Coach Cracked The Code To Help Fat Women Find Love

When couples therapist and fellow plus-size woman Krista Niles discovered a key piece of research on male online daters, she spent a year gaming the algorithm of a popular dating app to ensure fat babes were only matched with fat-preferring or indifferent partners. This is the cornerstone of The Curvy Cupid Course, Niles’ online group course that takes plus-size women step by step through dating via OKCupid. “If you would have asked me before I saw this research, I would have guessed 2%, 5%,” Niles said....

Are Penises To A Woman Like Breasts Are To A Man

What you don’t see is a man walking down the street oblivious to all of the women staring at his package outlined in his snug-fitting pants. Because it doesn’t happen (often). Now, a man’s rear end is a different story. A man with a nice ass can get heads turning too. Another difference? Men, and some women, will freely discuss the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. As in, “Wow, those things are huge....

Baby Dies After 3 Year Old Sister Tried To Change His Diaper

According to police 6-month-old Feonyx Clarke was found by his mother in his crib. The baby had several clean diaper bags around him, along with baby wipes and a clean diaper. The boy’s mom, Kristy, told police her daughter had gone upstairs that evening, but when mom went up to check on her, the little girl went to mom’s bed and fell asleep, as toddlers do. According to police, “suffocation” on the diaper bags is the possible cause of death....

Counting Baby S Kicks When You Re Pregnant How To Do It Right

“When the baby is active and moving, this reassures the mom-to-be that the uterine environment and fetus are doing well,” explains Melissa Goist, MD, an OB/GYN at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. On the other hand, prolonged bouts of little or no movement could mean he’s struggling — due to a problem with the placenta, umbilical cord or medical conditions with the mom — which could necessitate an intervention from your doc....

Couples Who Share Facebook Accounts Aren T More In Love Just More Insecure

Oversharing online can work in several ways that aren’t limited to couples creating one Facebook account. Some husbands/wives and boyfriends/girlfriends share online calendars — which seems more convenient than odd to me — as well as email passwords and even actual email accounts. Couples who do it consider it part of the “nesting” process of settling down with a partner. They feel that when you share one online presence, you’re letting the world know you are truly serious and committed....

Craigslist Pimps Find New Ways To Pimp

They have taken their bondage chains and flocked to the Personals section, which, up until the censorship, was used for “casual encounters,” “missed connections,” and the stereotypical WMSWF acronym-type phrasing. As much as I believe web prostitution should be censored, the realistic bottom line is, it’s the web. You can’t. They will always find a way. Even if they were to start censoring the personals section, the roommate-wanted section will undoubtedly begin having “two roommates seeking third for fun (wink, wink)” or the for sale section offering “barely used mattresses for $200/hr....
