Men complain that some women are unrealistic in their expectations and want too much.

Sleep deprivation affects over 50% of the western world. Its effect is devastating. Changing mood, concentration, happiness, health, vitality and emotional balance. Sleep deprivation is a hidden gremlin that lurks behind so many of our day to day problems. Depression, exhaustion, anger, frustration, laziness, mental fatigue, poor decision making, anxiety, fear, relationship breakdown, impotence, sexual performance drop, abuse, violence, alcohol addiction and obesity. Sleep deprivation affects over 50% of the people you know, and yet, they will say their problems are not associated with poor sleep or the lack of it. 50% of your friends will be visiting chiropractors, health food shops, health farms, yoga classes, exercise programs, beauticians, doctors and taking “magic herbs” to deal with issues that at their root, come from sleep deprivation.

If you can get in a woman's head, you can get into a woman's bed. Fact or fiction?

It may not be politically correct to tell you that a woman should make herself beautiful, sexy, and feminine. However, if you don’t, then that nice, sweet, but unbeautiful, un-sexy, and unfeminine woman may spend many lonely, unhappy years being politically correct and unnoticed by most men.

I have recently encountered the words 'Cougar Women' - a term dreamt up by some male or possibly jealous young female to describe an older woman engaged in a relationship with a younger man. The description 'Cougar Woman' infers a predatory mature woman (35-50+) who hunts, stalks, lusts after and imposes her attentions upon some innocent, inexperienced young male. The traditional description for the older male who does likewise is, 'Sugar Daddy' -- Would it not be appropriate, in light of today's touted 'equality of the sexes' to apply the description of Panther Daddy? Or, where the male is a cheating spouse, then perhaps 'Cheetah Daddy' may fit the bill?

Are you plagued by annoying behavior? Well, you’re about to give your loved one a great gift! Yup, you’re going to stop doing what drives you and your partner crazy.

Too often we think we have successfully compromised or negotiated an issue with a loved one and, in fact, we have actually given up, given in or settled.

Many of us had difficult, even rough childhoods, full of ridicule, poverty, or other limitations. While we may, and do, envy other people and their seeming lack of trials, there are few we would really want to trade places with, if the facades were stripped away. And worse, attempts to get even with other people only cause us to lose traction on the slippery slope we're attempting to scale.

Men who fight women and women who fight men are fighting against their own nature. The solution to this conflict may surprise you.
