The truth to pulling women Men think that the most important attribute on how to pull women is being the most attractive physically but it is not really the case. It is a fact that women evaluate the way you dress, the way you look, the way you handle yourself and the amount of money you have in your bank account. However, personality is just as important and can get you further with women than you may think. The key to attracting women is to learn what women truly want. In addition, it is equally important to understand what women don’t want. Most men don’t realise that what they don’t do is just as important as what they do. For instance, women are turned off by wimps, by men who are socially inept. They don’t want men who are weak or insecure and who are lazy about how they look. Also if all you are trying to do is impress a girl by showing off, she will see right through it and won’t be interested. Here are some things to avoid if you want to be attractive to women.
Don’t: n D on’t appear to be desperate. This is obviously a huge turn-off to women. Remember that no matter how attractive she finds you, women, just like men, are more attracted to what they can’t have. If you throw yourself at her and show you are hers, she will lose interest. Always work to keep a level of aloofness and mystery intact. n D on’t act weak. These are huge turn-offs to women. Even the most independent, successful, confident woman will naturally be attracted to alpha males. She is biologically programmed to respond to men who are strong and who can provide – even if she is the one best suited to provide in the relationship based on power, status, and money. She still will be turned off by men who are weak or who act dependent, supplicating, or needy. Displaying any traits that are the opposite of strong and confident will be automatic turn-offs to her. 40

n D on’t act like a Prat. If you drink too much, talk too loudly trying to make yourself centre of attention, you have not honed your social intelligence skills. You will certainly get noticed, but for all the wrong reasons. In addition, if you cannot engage in a normal conversation and are shy and withdrawn, same thing. These are a complete turn-off for women and will just make you the one person women want to avoid at all costs. n D on’t be a slob. You don’t need to look like Brad Pitt, but you better make sure you are not a slob who doesn’t take good care of your body, hygiene, or clothing. This shows that you don’t take care of yourself when you don’t take care of the way you look. It also reflects laziness which is a complete turn-off.
n B e confident. Appear confident even if you are slightly insecure. No one will know and you will become much more interesting and women will want to get to know you. n P ursue your own interests. If you follow your passions and your hobbies and interests, you automatically become 100 percent more interesting than men who have done none of this. Doing what you love makes you come alive. Even if the woman has zero interest in your hobby, your passion about it will be attractive to her. Anyone who has interests is interesting, just like anyone who is bored is boring. n M aintain your mystery. If she continues to wonder just how much you like her and exactly how much you are attracted to her, she is going to stick around. If she knows she has you in her back pocket, she will get bored and lose interest. A good way to do this is to tease her. This lets her know that you do not put her up on a pedestal and worship her like some other lads might have in the past. Let her know you have feelings and emotions, but don’t give it all up and confess your deepest feelings to her. Keep some things to yourself. If you maintain a bit of aloofness, while still acting in a warm manner, her attraction will be sustained. n M ake her laugh. This counts more than you can believe. Women in long term relationships will tell you that one secret to the longevity of their relationship, is the ability to make each other laugh. If you are fun and she can relax, women will want to be around you. When you are fun to be around, you are demonstrating that you are confident and relaxed, which is the opposite of supplicating and insecure. You can display this attitude by flirting, gentle teasing and being in touch with your childish side (but don’t overdo it)!

Biggest Sex Myth: All women are innately bisexual? Reality: This is false. We can probably thank reality show TV for this one. Despite the abundance of girl-on-girl kissing in Jersey Shore hot tubs, the Kinsey Institute reports that only 6.2 percent of men and 4.4 percent of women are attracted to people of the same sex. Further, five percent of men and three percent of women consider themselves bisexual. Sure, that means a lot of women are bisexual. Just not necessarily the entire female gender. But we can all still dream!
Myth: Men have more sexual partners than women. Reality: Not quite. Well by much less than you would have thought. An attractive woman, for example, will probably have had more sexual partners than her male counterpart of the same age who is not so good looking and vice versa. It’s all relative. Women lie when it comes to disclosing how many sexual partners they have had. Women subtract from the real number to try to impress men due to the stigma associated with women having more partners than men. So we are all as bad as each other. So don’t be fooled when they say they are not like other girls and haven’t been around the block!

Reality: This is True. Yes!!! No excuses now girls. Seminal fluid contains vitamin C, water, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, citrate, chloride, protein, and fructose. But a normal male ejaculation only contains around six calories, making it harmless to a restrictive diet. However, some women are known to have a severe allergy to semen, resulting in itching, redness, and blisters.
Entertainment
Myths
Myth: Semen is low in calories.
(this normally occurs once married!)
Myth: Men think about sex more than women do. Reality: This is true. However, the amount of time us men spend thinking about sex is more or less similar to the amount of time we also think about food and sleep. These findings suggest that we are not completely sex crazed. We simply spend more time thinking about our bodily needs than women do.
Myth: You can’t get your partner pregnant if you pull out before ejaculation. Reality: This is false. When a man is aroused, he has drops of semen on the tip of his penis. This helps lubricate it. Even one drop of semen contains a million sperm, and it only takes one sperm to knock her up. Even after you ejaculate, sperm can still be present.

The signs of the Zodiac can give us great insights into our day to day living as well as the many talents and special qualities we posses. You can discover a great deal of relevant information about yourself through reading about your Zodiac sign. The Zodiac is made up of 12 different sun signs. Your date of birth determines which one you are.
ARIES
The twelve zodiac signs are divided into four elements: Fire - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; Earth - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn; Air Gemini, Libra and Aquarius; Water - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Here is a summary to give you an idea of what your star sign says about you.

GEMINI
Element: Air
TAURUS 21 April - 21 May Element: Earth Characteristic Traits: Tau rus enjoys the sensual wo rld for it’s own sake (compare Virgo wh ich has to do something with it). Down to earth, pragmatic, wil l stubbornly pursue a tas k to completion without deviation once it has the impetus to get going (which may take a while). Pitfalls: Has difficulty see ing beyond the end of its nose. Philosophy? The spiritu al realm? Forget it! The earth is all there is and I’m going to enjoy it. So limited resources when the earth disappoints. A word of advice: When in the depths of disillus ionment and your own solutions sho w no signs of working, just consider the possibility (oh yes, I kno w, it’s very unlikely) tha t there may be something in another’s idea. Compatibility: Your ide al mate will be happy to indulge your big sensual and sexual appetite. Your habit of attr acting partners with strange ideas and life paths which seem to you unnecessarily complex is frustrating I know, but whoever said relationships were straightforward?
22 May - 21 June
Characteristic Traits: Gem ini takes an interest in any thing initially but gets easily bored. A seeker after information , passing it on to others whether or not it’s worth the trouble. A winner if clear thinking is what is needed in a crisis. Pitfalls: Feelings are fasc inating but hard to han dle. Can’t always see that the emotions nee d to be engaged in order for the mind to function at its best, for ide as to be fertile not sterile . An interesting new idea may lead to the abandonment of work on a vital existing one. A word of advice: You can’t explain away com plex feelings. Try to enter into them. The Gemini mind can then tak e the vantage point of an compassion ate observer, finding wa ys to bring them creatively into daily life. Emotions can be interes ting as well as ideas! Compatibility: Your ide al mate will be most inte rested in the profundity of your insight s and have some more to add. You may attract ones who try to make a deep spiritual system out of them, which you may thin k is not the point. Your fasc ination with emotions will attract you to partners who challen ge you to face your own creatively.
CANCER
22 June - 22 July
Element: Water
Characteristic Traits: Cancer is the home and family lover of the zodiac. The break-up of families and the use of houses as just somewhere to live rather than places to create real homes is painful, and leads to the forging of alternative families in other settings so that the feeling of being at home can be enjoyed.
Pitfalls: The sense of security that home and family (of whatever kinds) can give may lead to a clinging on to them when they no longer serve for further progress in life. Thus Cancer can live in the past rather than creatively in the present. A word of advice: Ideas that feel good may not be the best ones to follow. Feel how tenaciously you cling to them when someone challenges them and see if you can watch them more objectively.
Compatibility: Your ideal mate will be there for you when you come home, or will enjoy the protective shield you provide. Water naturally flows and needs to be contained if it is to be channelled constructively. You may attract partners who provide such containers and it may feel constricting. If you attract someone with amazing powers of rational and logical thought that will fascinate and frustrate you!

LIBRA
22 September - 22 Oc
Characteristic Traits: Virgo’s great gift is the ability to discriminate between what is useful and what isn’t. It is at home with the details that others find boring. When Virgo relates to you an important occasion you may boil with frustratio n waiting for the relevant conclusions to emerge from the caref ully ordered account of events leading to them - Virgo know s what is useful but bores you with the details anyway. Pitfalls: Can’t see the wood for the trees. No overall perspective on life. Frightened of chaos so tries to control it or denies its existence until proved by scientists (that is, scien tists who don’t believe in chaos). A word of advice: Compassionately observe yourself criticising what you see as the deviant behaviou r of others. Consider what the world would be like without it! Compatibility: Your ideal mate gives you material of any kind and is content while you organise it, file and collate it, and discard what cannot be used. Some of the material (a planned expedition to the South Pole for instance) may be too big to swallow without cutting it up first hoping to find at least a hint of anything useful in the plan.

SCORPIO
23 October - 21 November
Element: Water Characteristic Traits: Scorpio needs to delve beneath appearances to reality. Nothing superficial will do. Try small-talk and Scorpio will move away to look for more fertile pastures where its emotional intensity can be engaged. Pitfalls: Scorpio’s insight can give it great power and there can be a temptation to use this to control and possess others so that they become dependant. Prone to intense jealousy if they then manage to escape and show attachment elsewhere. A word of advice: You can penetrate to the faults and sore spots of others. Use this power to heal, not criticise. If you do not forgive and accept others as they are then yours is the greater fault, and you could find yourself isolated and feeling lonely. Compatibility: Your ideal mate feels as intensely as you do while allowing you to feel in charge. Hopefully you will attract someone who can observe emotional quagmires from a distance and use mental powers to help resolve them. When you are deeply engaged in a project and you hear ‘dinner’s ready’ from your more easily contented partner, ease up and enjoy!

A word of advice: Your strong sens e of duty is a great gift, but if you allow it to take you over and stop you having fun you will antagonise those you love and you will have less to give. Don’t take on more responsibilities than you can handle. Compatibility: Your ideal mate gives you time to open up to your feelings and welcomes your dependab ility.

A word of advice: Check this out: does your concern for the ‘brotherhood of man’ arise, at least in part, from a lack of a strong sense of your own individual worth? Watch this especially if you think you are entitled to prio r consideration on account of your advanced ideas. Compatibility: Your ideal mat e listens admiringly while you expound your thoughts and won’t embarrass you with tear s when you keep an ice-cool distanc e. You may attract a partner who will feel more strongly than you do, and allowing yourself to open up and finding yourself loved for it will do wonders for your selfesteem.

The fashion industry does seem to have gone a little mad with the latest men’s collections that we are seeing more and more of on today’s runways. It has got that out of hand that a special lexicon has emerged, over the past decade, as a sort of shorthand for men’s fashion. Men can now wear “mandals” (male sandals), “murses” (purses), “mantyhose” (pantyhose) and “mankinis” (swimsuit variants), though not necessarily all at the same time. At first, the neologisms were a kind of secret language among the fashion industry, etymologists say. Yet they’re going mainstream. Now, editors of the prestigious Oxford English Dictionary are tracking them for possible inclusion. The invention of new words to describe men’s fashion is a symptom of the recent boom in the men’s fashion industry. The sector is proving particularly resilient to economic turbulence: During the first half of this year, sales of men’s apparel in the U.S. rose 4.6% while women’s fell 0.8%, according to market researcher NPD Group.
Along with sending out the wrong message, I am unable to understand the appeal that feminising men is going to have on women or anyone else for that matter. So if you are already planning your summer wardrobe please take into account that although there are certain garments now deemed as fashionable for men to wear, there are certain trends that will end up doing you more harm than good!
Mewellery (that’s jewellery for men, not for cats) is also on the rise. Little finger rings have met their match in wristbands. They come in leather from Tod’s, a favourite of bankers and woven versions in string and cotton from Burkman Bros.
Mandals
Then there are mandals, open-toed shoes that are more formal and structured than flip-flops. President Barack Obama was spotted in a black pair last summer. Yet style watchers immediately panned the presidential footwear. Other online critics were squeamish over seeing Mr. Obama’s toes.

Manbag
In the past decade, manbag has become particularly common, both as a product and as a word. Department store chain Macy’s has carved out space for manbags in some of its biggest stores, doubling its selection over the past year. Macy’s men’s fashion director Durand Guion says pockets just don’t suffice for carrying an iPod, iPad and mobile phone.
Manorexia, Guyliner and Manscaping
A few expressions deal with the less glamorous side of fashion. Some male models are said to suffer from “manorexia.” Several words describe grooming more than fashion, such as “guyliner” (eyeliner for guys) and “manscaping” (the removal of hair from men’s limbs and loins).
Mankini
The British beach town of Newquay has witnessed a rise in mankini violations, according to chief of Newquay Police Ian DrummondSmith. This summer, for example, a man was reprimanded on an English beach for wearing a thonglike suit with a halter strap similar to the one made famous by Borat, the fictional Kazak journalist. Mr. Drummond-Smith said the slinky one-piece breached Britain’s Section 5 of Public Order Act 1986, “which prohibits the display of items likely to cause harassment, alarm & distress.”

Sniper Elite V2 Max Payne 3 The
Testament of Sherlock Holmes
The game takes place in the same time frame and location - the Battle of Berlin in April 1945 - but now the main character, an American OSS agent, must either kill or capture scientists involved in the German V-2 rocket programme. It was named by IGN as one of the ‘biggest shooters’ of the year. The main character is Karl Fairburne, an OSS agent who is inserted into Berlin in 1945, during the final days of World War II. It references Operation Paperclip and its predecessor Operation Overcast, the plan by the USA to recruit the scientists of Nazi Germany. Fairburne comes up against both Nazi and Soviet opponents as he seeks to kill or capture key scientists involved in the V-2 rocket programme. Platform(s): Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. n
According to Rockstar’s Sam Houser, it is their intention on starting a new chapter of Max Payne’s life with the game. “This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever.” Since the last game, the press release states Max has left New York City behind and has “drifted from bad to worse.” The press release then goes on to say Max has been double-crossed in this new city and he is searching for the truth and a way out. The game will be set in São Paulo, Brazil, where Payne is working in the private security sector for a wealthy local family, set eight years after the events of the second game. Max Payne now works in executive protection for the wealthy Rodrigo Branco in the hopes of escaping the memories of his troubled past. When a street gang kidnaps Rodrigo’s wife, Max is pulled into a conspiracy of shadowy, warring factions threading every aspect of São Paulo society in a deadly web that threatens to engulf everyone and everything around him.

Gaming Reviews In London, 1898. Holmes has just successfully solved a new case by retrieving a priceless set of jewels that had been stolen. Unfortunately, the jewels’ owner reveals that the necklace Holmes returned to him is a pale imitation and everything seems to incriminate the detective. A true descent into hell starts for Sherlock Holmes when London begins to have doubts and starts to lose its trust in him who is incapable of refuting suspicions or of disproving the charges against him. Even Doctor Watson’s unshakable faith in his friend starts to waver as the famous detective avoids Scotland Yard, started making strange behaviours like night escapades, blackmail, and destruction of evidence, and raises further suspicions.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Ghost Recon Future Soldier takes place in the near future. A dirty bomb has taken out a Ghost team and another Ghost team (consisting of Kozak, Ghost Lead, Pepper and 30k) is tasked with tracking down the source of the dirty bomb using advanced technology. During the campaign, the Ghosts will visit places such as Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia and Norway. The game is a third-person cover-based shooter, except when aiming using sights at which point the game switches to a first-person camera in order to facilitate more precise aiming. Cover can be partially destroyed, forcing the players to constantly seek other hiding spots. While in cover, players can be suppressed. When under fire by an enemy machine gun, the field of vision will decrease, making it harder to return fire. Platform(s): Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. n
