Turn Your Main Squeeze into a Gamer Girl!

One example of girlfriend turned gamer. Image by Mike Gagnon. Model Pam Wright.

Let’s face it.  While it is an increasingly common factor to meet a girl who enjoys playing a video game every year or so, you want more.  You want to convince your girlfriend, friend that’s a girl, cousin, classmate, sister, whatever, to play video games more often then once every half a decade.  How do you do it? 

 

Start ‘em young

The younger they are, the easier it is to con them into playing.  While it is unlikely that you are dating a middle schooler, that is the opportune time to stick a controller in their hands before they discover it is ‘uncool’ for a girl to play video games.  But don’t worry, there’s still hope if they are older.  However, don’t marry a girl and hope that by the time she’s 43 you’ll be able to talk her into playing Halo.  Start as soon as possible, before they start getting logical and complain about how much money new systems, games, and gadgets cost.

Deadly Relationship Habits by Kim Olver

How many of you have ever been involved with a significant other who wanted you to do something you didn’t want to do? I doubt that I’m the only one. By virtue of a significant other relationship, there will be times when our partners will want us to do things we don’t necessarily want to do and conversely, there will be times when we will want our partners to do things they don’t want to do.

This is perfectly normal. The key, however, is what we do about it. Can you remember the behaviors your partners used to get you to do things their way? Dr. William Glasser, in his book called, Getting Together and Staying Together, talks about the seven destructive relationship habits. They are: complaining, criticizing, blaming, nagging, threatening, punishing, and bribing or rewarding to control. Do you recognize any favorites?

Make Your Sex Life Interesting by John Waltz

Before it becomes Ex-Life….

Boredom is the major breaker of relationships. If you have not found a friend who has told you this than read on. Boredom brings in loss of desire and common sexual problems. How boredom sneaks into our life?

The crushing weight of fast-paced day-to-day life of the modern materialistic world is the major culprit. Another reason is just plain negative attitude towards relationships especially, long term relationships among dating seniors who have lost all the jest and vigour of youth and among young couple who experience premature ageing due to ennui or simple lack of interest in sex.

Saying No To Toxic Relationships
Written by Esther Kane

After the long cold days of winter, spring sings her chipper song. As I write this, I have brightly coloured tulips to gaze at happily in my garden. Spring is a great time to start eating healthier, lighter food, wear bright colours, and get outdoors. It also happens to be a great time to fall in love. Perhaps scientists will one day reveal a specific chemical that flies around in the spring air that gets the pheromones going. Who knows? Maybe they already have...but before you take that exuberant leap into a special someone's arms and fall head-over-heels, here are some suggestions to keep your head in the clouds, while your feet are firmly planted on the ground.

Does Having More Sex Make You "Sexier?"
Christine Akiteng

I was running one of my series of workshops on "Fearless Sexuality and Sexual Charisma" when one of the participants asked me if having more sex makes a person sexier?

This sexual myth has been doing the rounds quite a bit lately and I've not yet come across studies and research that conclusively shows that having more sex actually makes people feel sexier.

From my own experience, there was a time when my relationship life was so messed up that I decided I needed time-out to try and figure out why I was running away from serious relationships and commitments. I was so messed up that for 5 years I did not have any sex at all - not even solo-sex.

Communication and the Male-Female Interpretations

 

Unfortunately, the simple act of communicating with one another can lead to confused messages, or messages being missed entirely. This is especially true when it comes to communication between men and women. It's no wonder there's conflict, when they interpret the same conversation in different ways. This is because of the different conversational styles of men and women.
