When You Know She's Mad

Everything about her says she’s mad. The tone of her voice tells you she’s mad (if she’s speaking to you). The way she’s standing tells you she’s mad. If she's throwing things at you or turns away when you touch her, you know she’s mad at you. When she’s mad, your life is miserable, and the longer it takes you to rectify the situation the worse it’s going to get.

We’re men and we’re fallible. They’re kind, loving, sentimental and forgiving. We’re pigs. We lovie them just the way they are but to them we'll always be a work in progress. We don’t have to understand them, just love them and treat them with respect. Sometimes loving them means that we have to apologize for a real or imagined injury. Forget about whether you were right or wrong. It doesn't matter, and sometimes being right makes things worse. You’re really apologizing because she's sad. And when she’s sad YOU will be miserable especially if you're the reason.

So we’ve provided you with some common screw-ups and ways to make amends for them. Keep in mind though that the best way to fix a problem is to avoid it in the first place. So even if you’re not in the dog house yet, here’s a great list of problems to avoid. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of issues and we don't guarantee that they'll work for your particular screw-up. Remember, we are men and there is no limit to the number of ways that we can piss her off.

But Why?

It really helps to have this bit of information. Some women will tell you right from the start what you did that upset them. Some like to extend the torture by not giving you a hint. You could ask, but you’ve tried that before and it usually didn’t work. You got that most infuriating of all answers,’ "If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you". Damn! You just made things worse.

This is not the time to make assumptions or start mentally rolling through all of the possible indiscretions she may have found out about. What ever you do, don’t start apologizing for things she may not know about yet. No point in giving her more reasons to be mad. Start simple, first check the date.

Did You Forget Her Birthday?

Bad move Nimrod. This one is almost too stupid to talk about here. She only has one birthday a year. Find out her birth date and WRITE IT DOWN. The Calendar Is Your Friend! Assuming you have some type of calendar; paper, electronic or written on the walls of your cave (if you truly haven’t discovered technology yet), there’s no reason to ever forget it again. This is bad but it’s fixable.

Is today her birthday? If it’s not evening yet you still have time to save the day, but you have to act fast. Quickly put together a romantic dinner at her favorite restaurant or have it catered at home by a gourmet restaurant (Pizza delivery or Chinese take-out do not count). If there’s still time, get on the phone and order flowers and have them delivered to her at work. If it’s too late for flower delivery beat feet to the nearest florist and buy a dozen roses (more would be an admission of guilt).

Was her birthday yesterday? Worse, but still fixable. Look at the calendar (sorry, we’ve already determined that you don’t know how to use a calendar). Ask someone what day of the week it is (not her, Dummy). There’s a 71% chance that it’s a weekday (don’t try to do the math, take my word for it) and if that’s the case you can still use the solution above. You’re just going to move dinner to the weekend. Of course, since you have more time to plan, it had better be more elaborate. Invite another couple or two and now it’s a surprise party (damn you’re brilliant).

Was it a week ago or longer? Then you’re screwed, or more appropriately not, possibly for several weeks. At this point overkill is what’s called for. First, a sincere apology is in order. Admit that you’re an unfeeling emotionally deprived moron and never really deserved any one as special as she is (it’s probably true, you did forget her birthday). SELL IT. Make her believe that you really mean it and that it will never happen again (show her your new electronic toy with her birthday already entered into it). Now it’s time to make it up to her and the more elaborate and expensive the gift the better. If you can’t console her with chocolates, delight her with diamonds.

Did You Forget An Anniversary?

This one is a little more complicated. It does involve using a calendar for the major events, like your wedding, however women sometimes have a tendency to romanticize events that we may consider trivial. Like your first date or your first kiss or the first time you… OK you can figure out the rest. Remember she still has the corsage from her senior prom pressed in a book and the ticket stub from her first concert with what’s his name.

If it’s your wedding anniversary, see the solutions above for the forgotten birthday. You may also want to add an additional gift depending on how many years you’ve been married. If it’s one of the minor anniversaries (like your first date) then you’re probably not going to figure it out. We don’t understand why they’re so sentimental and they don’t understand why we’re not. If you want to restore harmony then fall on your sword and apologize.

Admit that we as a gender are mindless pigs, inherently stupid and everything we know is wrong. A small sentimental gift will usually suffice in this instance. Roses aren’t necessary, a small bouquet or a heart shaped locket would be better. And Don’t Forget the Card. In each of the above scenarios, a card is still warranted. Write a heart felt message in the card not just "Love Bubba". Tell her how you really feel and how miserable life would be without her. Tell her how beautiful and wonderful she is. Be sincere. It may sound corny but women never tire of hearing it. Let her know that she would be difficult if not impossible to replace (please don’t use these words).

Does This Make My Butt Look Fat?

I don’t believe you fell for this one. The best way to answer this question is to avoid it all together. If you can’t avoid it then a QUICK answer is required. If you take too long to answer, you’re dead. A good response could be something like this: "Sweetheart, you look sexy in anything" or "That dress was made for you". However, if what’s she’s wearing really doesn’t look good, a response like this might work: "I really liked that black dress you wore last week" or "That color doesn’t highlight your eyes like the green dress".

If you do screw up and answer in the affirmative then you need to prove to her that you still think she’s beautiful and sexy. This is one of the few situations where lingerie is a gift for her and not you. Sexy (not sleazy) lingerie might work, along with chocolates or flowers. Whatever you do, don’t buy her a gym membership or a piece of workout equipment.

Did You Have A Night Out With The Boys And "Forget" To Call Again?

If you’re like me you probably didn’t forget to call, you just decided to delay the argument until you got home. Maybe you didn’t want her to know exactly where you and the "boys" were hanging out. Whichever the case, you’d think that as an adult you could spend a little time with your friends without a hassle. Think again Bubba. This is one of the numerous situations where you didn’t actually do anything wrong but she’ll be pissed at you anyway. Guess who’s going to need to apologize to restore harmony? You've got it, you are.

This one is not too hard to fix. Take her to dinner or to a show SHE wants to see or another activity that you’ve been avoiding for a while, like the tour of the Botanical Gardens. This let’s her know that while you still feel the need for male bonding (which any reasonable person would understand) your best quality time is spent with her, no matter what the activity is. And as another reasonable individual, you should understand her need to feel at least as important as the "boys". Remember, she went with you to the Monster Truck Rally and didn’t complain (much).

Did You Spend Too Much Money On That New Toy?

Let’s face it, women are more practical then we are. We complain that she just bought another pair of shoes and we come home with a $50,000 SUV that we just had to have. Buying her presents is not the cure for this one. You just picked up a $600/month payment that wasn’t in the budget, spending more money isn’t going to solve this problem. You are going to have to give up something BIG. You might start with the night out with the boys.

Did She Catch You Eying Another Woman?

This one isn’t as bad as it sounds. You can easily recover from this if you act quickly. The second you know you’ve been caught, make a comment like; "That dress would really look much better on you" or "I wonder how much surgery she’s had". A good rule of thumb is that usually the snider the remark the better. Just make sure your comment fits the situation and always make sure that it shows your wife or girlfriend in a better light. She may not buy it but she’ll usually let you off the hook.

Does She Suspect You’ve Been Out With Another Woman?

If she hasn’t said it aloud but you think she suspects you’ve been with another woman, you probably have. However, it could be perfectly innocent. Find out what she knows or suspects before you do anything. Maybe her girlfriend saw you at a restaurant with another woman. There may be a reasonable explanation, if not, think quick and learn to be more discrete in the future.

If she had any real proof, she would confront you with it. As long as she hasn’t accused you of something, there’s a doubt in her mind. Don’t change your normal behavior or start showering her with gifts; you’ll only convince her that her suspicions were right. Ignore her suspicions until she actually accuses you, then deny it.

Does She Know You’ve Been Out With Another Woman?

How stupid are you? Didn’t I tell you to be discrete? What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas but you live in St. Louis dumb ass. You are now at her mercy. Let’s just hope that she is more forgiving than you are smart. Forgiveness will be on HER terms and she knows it. Prepare yourself for weeks if not months of some very serious groveling as well as solitary sex.

First, whatever (or whoever) she caught you doing STOP IT! Tell her how stupid you were (she already knows, but tell her anyway), tell her how much you love her over and over again, tell her that you’re sorry that your inability to control yourself has caused her so much pain. Beg for forgiveness and cry if you have to (they love it when we’re vulnerable).

Shower her with attention and convince her that it will never happen again and that you’d do anything not to lose her. If she’s your girlfriend, this may be the right time to propose. If she’s your wife, a diamond ring is usually cheaper than a lawyer and if you really want to keep her it may require buying her a Lexus. If she does decide not to leave your miserable ass, it will take a long time for her to trust you again (if ever).

However, if the other woman is her sister, best friend or worst enemy, abandon all hope. You're dead.

Online Dating Perks

Imagine being able to choose exactly who you were compatible with: down to hair and eye color, height, shared interests and quirks. Now picture yourself finding more than one person who matches your ideal dream partner. This is exactly what the best online dating service can do for you.

Gone are the days when mom-and-dad chose your partner and the family had to make the decision of who was best for you. Bar-hopping to find the perfect soul mate can be overrated as well, and may result in finding your so-called Mr./Ms. Right who happens to sit on your number for a month.

Before you get the idea that dating online is for introverts who struggle to get a date, there are many perks to finding a date online:

• It is easy to find people who are single, just like you! 6StarReviews.com compares online dating services like True, that screen daters to see if public records match their posted marital status. No need to worry if John has a wife at home and claims he’s single and looking.

• It’s cheaper to date online in the beginning: For the cost of subscription fees to an online dating service, you probably would have spent that amount on just two cocktails plus tip on a date!

• No need for uncomfortable silence on a date; you only meet those you truly make a connection with.

• Less confusion: Ever been in a situation where you wonder if she likes you as much you like her? Online dating eliminates these feelings because you are free to talk to as many people as you want, when you want.

• Looks aren’t the first thing your potential partner will see. Sure, they may see a photograph of you, but if you’re having a bad hair day, so what?

• There’s always a new singles pool: Forget trying to impress the same guy at your job who hasn’t given you the time of day for three years: find new, fresh faces through Internet dating.

For successful online dating

There are essential ingredients to online dating. A good description and a photo.

It isn't necessary to be a gifted to write a meaningful post but it is necessary to give some thought and consideration of how you want to be presented in the online dating community.

A well thought out description of your needs are and what your wants and desires are, will always work better than a basic summary of who and what you are.

The most important rule to remember when writing a dating ad is that the more content and descriptive you are the better.

Typical ads my name is Joe Bloggs. I'm 99 years old, grey , divorced with a 39 year old son. I like the country, dining out, 20's music. I'd like to meet someone 80 to 90 years old who's ready to settle down and who has similar interests to me.

you get the idea don't you. lets re-write and show you how to add zest and interest to your profile.

Hi, my name is joe I'm almost 99 years young; instead of I'm 99 years old.

Your description needn't be mediocre; grey , that does not really say anything, try short silver hair, or have silver highlights which i wear short.

Include your status as it is an important part of who you are; single, divorced etc

Is more revealing than divorced with a 39-year-old son.

A bit about what you like and expand on it why do you like what you like I love the country and the fresh air, Italian restaurants and sushi, listening to my favorite music from the 20's and long slow country drives,

I like the country; dining out, country drives, 20's music doesn't tell the story and leaves a lot more questions than answers.

And what do you want in return; ask and the chances are you will get a better return

I'd like to meet a lady who is about my age with or without children of her own. It may be someone who may be ready to settle down and commit herself to a serious relationship if all the vibes are right. I'm not looking for frantic activity times, sporty types or constant parties, I dislike smoke as it affects my wellbeing.

Online dating, say yes or no?

Is MillionaireCupid.com really the home for single sugar daddies and mommies? It certainly appears so. Charlie Sheen apparently met someone on here. Is that the type of millionaire you’re after? We took a look to see if this lofty idea was good enough to take to the bank and here is what we found...

The media seems to love this site. And from what we can tell, so do a large number of online singles. It has gained a decent amount of popularity over the past couple of years and that makes it worth a look, if nothing else.

The profile quality on Millionaire Cupid seems quite high. The majority of the profiles we searched had pictures. The lure of the targeted demographic probably helps play into the success of this site and the dedication of its members to provide information to attempt to attract the best, and perhaps richest, mate possible.

“MillionaireCupid.com has a golden niche and serves it up on a silver spoon.”

MillionaireCupid.com has set itself up to cater to a high-end clientele yet it appears less impressive than you might expect. First off, the graphics are a little simple and lack the sophisticated polish you would see on more established dating sites. The logo looks awry with so much empty space and staggered name. There’s a page-turn in the bottom left of the screen that seems completely bizarre and the color scheme is rather unremarkable.. Although there are certain flaws in presentation, none are deep enough to really hinder the flow and usability of this site. However, despite the targeted niche, it looks like these millionaires scrimped on design.

Search options are about as robust as any on the Net. However, Millionaire Match only lets paid members have full access to them. As a free users, you have to make due with searches that specify age, gender country and a distance of no less than a 100-mile radius. If you have a paid membership, you can get as close as 50 miles. You also can’t search strictly by high-income if you haven’t paid for a membership.

People looking to see if Millionaire Cupif is worth their time and effort will like the options available to them on this site. You can search any of the profiles, send winks of interest, receive email and use the chat board without paying first. This should be more than you need to determine if you want to become a member. It deserves a second mention here that despite all you can do for free, you can’t see how busy the site is because last log-in date is kept secret to free members. Maybe this also explains why there are so few people who have clicked to check out our profile…

There are a number of common extra features available to members on the site. As a free member, you can use the chat board to strike up conversations. Members gain access to the ‘Ask April’ dating tips section, the ability to see who has viewed your profile, see who is interested in you and to browse new members.

MillionaireCupid.com has a golden niche and serves it up on a silver spoon. Most of the down sides to this site are superficial so it’s certainly worth a look, even if you’re not raking in six figures.

Online Dating: Use Your Common Sense

If you’ve been around the internet dating scene for more than the last couple of years, you’ve witnessed the industry grow from a kind of sleazy, underground entity into a multi-billion dollar a year behemoth of wonderfully engaging and classy websites.

Of course, some areas of the dating services on the web continue a sleaze factor, but after all, the internet does imitate the actual world, doesn’t it?

The one quality everyone needs to possess in this wild, roller-coaster world of ours and in the world of the internet remains constant: common sense! And, in the world of internet dating, this common sense approach is mandatory.

A number of common sense approaches to internet dating are simple and easy to remember and easy to put into practice.

1. Don’t identify yourself in an online dating environment. Get yourself one of the many free email accounts offered on the web. Do not release your real name, your address or telephone number in any way. If you feel a contact you make can be trusted…wait! Time is on your side. The urge to be impatient and hook-up with someone quickly is inevitable, but wait.

2. When you’re composing a personal ad or when you’re in a chat room or instant message, be honest about yourself and make your intentions easy to understand. Want to just flirt? Make it known that you are just flirting! Don’t give anyone a reason to think you’re someone you’re not.

3. “Listen” and “watch” what is going on with the person you are communicating with. Again…common sense is the rule. If something seems to be amiss with the other person, if a feeling of uneasiness with the direction of the conversation, gracefully bow out. Your intuition is almost never wrong! Never let your emotions pour out of you…even if you think you may have found the “right” match…wait until you meet in person. Then, you’ll really find out what’s up with them!

4. If the other person seems to be pushing the idea of talking on the phone, wait until it feels right for you. You are in control over everything that transpires, remember that. When you do start a telephone “meeting”, ask for their number if it makes you feel more secure. Then you can call when you want to, not at the whim of the other contact. Again, listen to everything in that call…the contact’s voice: sincere or somewhat demanding? The sounds in the background: kids yelling, baby crying, any instance that doesn’t seem right to you…the person may not have been truthful in what they have told you about themselves. Common sense!

5. When and if you decide to meet face to face, tell your family (yikes!) or a friend or trusted co-worker about the plans. Tell them exactly what your time-frame regarding the date will be and where you are going. If plans change, like going from a meeting in a coffee shop to a walk in a park, let someone know! It would be a good idea beforehand to let the person you are going to meet that you only want an “open” date…..with people around. If they act rebuffed or a little miffed at that, they aren’t interested in you feeling secure. Don’t agree to go any further!

And…maybe the most important aspect of this first, maybe second or even third meeting with this person…have your own transportation! Do not depend on them to pick you up. Observing the obvious…it also gives you a way out of you are least bit uncomfortable. If you are…leave! No car of your own? Call friends immediately or grab a cab…you are in control!

Internet dating can be a lot of fun, but as with anything in life, it only takes one bad apple to spoil everything. Be cautious, use every ounce of your intuition and common sense and enjoy yourself! All three can work together…you have all the control!

Dating Advice for Divorced and Widowed Moms

Getting into a relationship post divorce or death of a spouse can be scary.

It had been a year since Sally’s divorce had come through. Her twins Jason and Emma had just celebrated their thirteenth birthday and things were looking up for her professionally. John had stood by Sally like a rock through a very difficult year. Mutual attraction was there, but at the same time there was nagging fear and doubt.

Sally is just one among several moms who are divorced or widowed and can’t seem to take a step in the direction of a new relationship. Here is some http://www.eromance.com/local/dateideas.html>date ideas for divorced and widowed moms.

The first all important step is to put the past behind you. A divorce or death of spouse is a difficult experience that leaves people embittered. But life must go on, and if you have a partner by your side there is someone you can turn to for comfort. So begin by letting go of all the pain and sense of loss and don’t feel guilty about looking for love again.

Make sure that you give yourself enough time to recover from your break up or loss. Getting in to a relationship too soon after a break up is a fatal mistake. While love on the rebound offers a cushion of comfort, it is an option which if taken could color your vision for a short time. When reality bites at a later stage, things might not be quite the same. This also does not mean that you mope around or mourn forever.

An important piece of dating advice for divorced and widowed moms is related to the kids. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Your kids are an important part of your life and if they live with you post divorce, then you have to consider how your partner relates to them and vice-versa.

If you’ve found a partner and think your relationship has adequate potential then talk to your kids first. Make them comfortable with the idea of someone else joining the inner circle in your life.

If your partner is a parent himself, he will understand and identify with your concerns. But if he’s not then you must have an honest and open talk about your concerns in that area.

An important consideration is the age of the kids involved. In Sally’s case, her kids are quite grown up and at an age where they can understand their mother’s need for a relationship. But sometimes, even older kids can be resentful of their mother’s new partner. In this case it’s necessary for you and your new partner to discuss how to go about it.

Make sure your kids feel safe and comfortable with your partner, especially if you have a young daughter. Plan a fun activity that you and your partner can enjoy with the kids. Your kids need not take up all your time together but make sure they are in the picture and not on the periphery.

A brief history of online dating November 30, 2007

A brief history of online dating

The introduction and singles dating industry is not new. In fact, dating and singles clubs have been around for many years. Bob Hope said in the early 1950's, "I once sent my photograph to a Lonely Hearts club and they sent it back saying, thanks but we are not that lonely". The Lonely Hearts club image lasted nearly as long as Bob Hope himself and was the butt of many comedians' jokes, which gave the dating industry an image that only desperate and lonely people join such clubs.

The internet has changed many things and nowhere has it had a larger impact than with the dating industry. Online dating websites started to bring a younger audience to the dating and singles matchmaking industry, where these systems would conveniently email you people in your area who were also looking to meet other single people. The fact that these early sites, as many poor quality sites still do today, would simply collect as many photographs as possible and send them to you, would frequently result in you opening your email only to have a photo staring out at you that could scare a police horse.

The better quality online dating sites such as chancetomeet.com, have highly developed searches and tools such as "connect phrases" to help you find the right person. There is good evidence that the sites that charge for membership have a much higher quality of contact, with the more you pay the more serious the member. Free sites or sites that charge a nominal amount tend to attract the "one night stand" end of the market and tend to have page after page of contacts that you have to trawl through with little or no information about that person, apart from the fact they like holidays, nice people and watching the X factor, with dislikes of people who bring an axe on the first date!

The future of online dating, whether you are looking for the chance to meet a long term partner, or maybe looking for something more casual, does seem to be assured, as the high divorce rate and number of people staying single looks set to continue globally in the years to come.

However, things are about to change in the future of online dating, just as dating changed with the advent of the internet. Only this time it may be even more of a revolution, as computers get faster along with Internet connection speeds. These advances will bring more exciting ways to date and meet people as social networking sites have recently shown. As computer graphics improve, we will see Virtual reality start to become the norm in online dating. Chancetomeet.com has been developing technologies in this area ready to take advantage of faster computing power and are preparing to launch these new services in the near future. To keep up to date why not register for free at www.chancetomeet.com and who knows what the future may bring.
