Ordinarily we think of gossip and rumor-spreading as a
negative network of lies and false assumptions that destroys reputations and
ruins careers, but did you know that you can use gossip to your advantage when
trying to create rapport and build trust with someone? Yes, its true. Use that
very same negative network to make yourself appear more likable to another
person.
The Underlying Psychological Mechanisms
Involved

The American Psychologist Abraham Maslow came up with a
5-layered system of human needs that motivates people in life. One of those
layers of need is the need for self-esteem and the sense of belonging. As human
beings, we not only need to feel good about ourselves, but we also require
confirmation and feedback from others on how they perceive us. Negative feedback
poses a risk to our own self-esteem and therefore it creates conflict because we
strive to protect our self-esteem.

1. Have Fun Together

Remember
the fun times you had when you first started dating? You laughed, you
played, and you spent time enjoying each other's company. There's no
reason for the fun to stop just because you've been together for a
while. Think about some of these options:

“Your sun sign can tell a lot about you as a lover. It can help you
explore how you approach your romantic love interests.” Heidi Richards
Is it easy for you to get close to someone or do you take your time in
developing meaningful relationships? What does your partner bring to
your relationship that either helps it blossom or keeps it from going
anywhere? Are you finding love elusive or does it come easy? How do you
relate to those you are romantically attracted to? What kind of
relationship are you looking for? What kind of partner are you seeking?
While reading about your sun sign is not the entire answer to the
age-old challenge of finding the right partner, it can be a start. Your
sun-sign is only one aspect of your persona, what makes you, you. Your
Rising and Moon also determine the life you were born to lead.CLICK HERE TO READ FULL ARTICLE

the mother still occupies the psyche, but with a wrenching kind of longing'"a
mother that is biological and even sometimes present, but also a mother who is
so self-involved as to be emotionally absent, or literally out of the picture.CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL BLOG

        Want to spice up your bedroom to let some romance in?
Decorating
your bedroom for romance doesn’t even have to be difficult or
expensive. You can really let your creativity run wild here.

The
most important thing to keep in mind is that you want to soothe all of
the senses to both take away other distractions and relax completely.
This should be your oasis, your refuge to reconnect and enjoy your
partner’s company.

A great place to start is lighting. Get rid of the glare, and you’re well on the way to more romance!

Candles,
candles and more candles can bring a lot of romance into the bedroom
for a pretty small investment. Candles, both large and small, tapered,
pillar or votives all generate a warm, inviting, flickering light to
the room.

Have you ever seen an ex-pat with a farang (in Thai language= foreigner/westerner) girlfriend? Me neither. Throughout Thailand, farang girls have been swapped for Thais in a manner reminiscent of the 1950's science fiction classic Invasion of the body snatchers - “it's some kind of pod… aaagh!” Why does this happen?

Loads of farang girls enjoy holidaying in Thailand with their boyfriends. It's the ones who come with their girlie mates who discover that the fortnight is not as fun-filled as they had hoped. Just like the rest of humanity, western girls relish the chance to meet new people and get fucked rotten. It's the second part of the equation that Thailand often fails to deliver ' for girls, anyway.

I visited the island of Koh Samed a few months ago and noticed a group of pretty English girls who were out looking for a good time. In Ibiza, these provocatively dressed minxes would've had to beat the fellas off with a shitty stick. On Koh Samed, however, they partied alone. There are no girlie bars on the island, so the western guys
