They either both win, or both lose

I know it's too late to point this out, but one thing I knew would happen in this year's conference championship games (and last year's) did indeed happen.

In making picks, I notice that usually, in two games connceted to each other in a playoff bracket, a team from each game has something unusual in common. There is a trend that the two teams that have that common factor either borth win, or both lose.

Last year, two of the final four teams had head coaches who were brothers. I picked both the Ravens and 49ers, on the basis of this. Plus, the Ravens and Niners had great defenses, their opponents did not.

As it turned out, they both lost.

But this year, the same situation with both teams happened again. This team, I went with the media hype surrounding the Patriots (especially since I picked Houston to beat them), and based on the connection picked the Falcons to win their game.

This time, the teams with the coaching brothers both won.

Eerie, huh?

For now, I'll have to think it over, but for the moment I like Baltimore, based on their experience.

Anyway, unless things change with their defense, we won't be seeing another of this scene anytime soon:

Men asking women for sex when they meet.....why?

At a recent speed-dating event, most of the women told me they were frustrated with the men they talk to asking for sex right away. Now I had no reason to doubt them, but still, it seemed so odd that they claim this always seems to happen. After all, I've never asked a woman for sex, not on the first meeting, or second, or third.....

But if it really seems that nearly all men act like that, is that reason to reject them out of hand as a suitable partner? I mentioned that the number one purpose in life is to seek a partner and procreate. If you're turned off by all men who do this, well, where are your other options?

What I suggest is this:
If you meet a guy you seem to like, you get along great at first, but then he asks you sex, DON"T REJECT HIM! Ask him why he would say such a terrible thing. But be forgiving!

This society's notions towards sex has been just as awful on men, perhaps even worse, that on women. Men are not evil creatures! They are human beings doing what is the natural order of things. 100 years ago, men didn't go up to women asking for sex. They probably were more interested if the girl they met would be right for them for marriage and children. And they sure treated women with decency and respect. You know why? Because women 100 years ago had GRACE, and femininity. They weren't brainwashed with the notion they must work at a job to prove their worth.

Men don't like work either, but they understand that one needs to work in order to survive. Men today have no problem with women working, they just have a problem with them acting like men, as well as absconding from their God-given designated role in life.

You see, it's all about roles. Men and women have roles to play in the game in life. Roles change and morph from time to time, but people must understand there's a reason why we have two genders.

A woman's role in life is to be a woman, demonstrating lady-like traits, and to not rebel from their purpose in life. A man's role in life is to be a man, treating a woman like a lady, and to be supportive, encouraging, and strong.

Women, START RESPECTING MEN!

Women, START RESPECTING MEN!

There's a lot that's been said about the relationship between men and women in America. So much out there has been said, nobody knows just exactly is what. Now I know what I write here are merely my opinions, but maybe you should understand them, and realize that what I say just might make sense.

I read how the marriage rate among Americans has declined so significantly, there are now more single women than married women. Why is that so? Has things declined so much among today's generation that they don't believe getting married and having a family is of the utmost importance? Moreover, what would past generations of people say?

Let me say this strongly:
The number one prerogative of life among human beings is to seek someone of the opposite gender and raise children. It is not working at a successful job, it is not making tons of money, it is not finding the solutions for the world's ills. Every other living species on the planet has procreation as its number one goal in life. It used to be that way with American people too.

Where did it all go wrong?

Well, there are a number of reasons, but one key reason I'll mention here is feminism. Now, hold on, don't jump to conclusions! I know, most of you Americans like to jump to conclusions. There are numerous other reasons, but for now I want to lay out a few reasons why feminism has seriously damaged the mating and marriage habits of Americans.

There is one thing all heterosexual men seek in a woman. Femininity. Femininity does not mean any physical features one has, but what behaviors they display. One thing American women lack, is grace. You just don't see it here. You need to look up the word to know what I mean. Men do not want women who look and/or act like men. You see, feminists have sought to create an Apartheid-style society where men and women act and go their separate ways. To act and look almost the same, in every facet of life. It's been said feminist women wished they really were men, and I agree with that to some extent.

You remember Debrahlee Lorenzana? She was the financial company employee who looked, dressed, and acted like a woman should be. On top of that, she was a very capable employee at her firm. So what happened? She got fired, simply because the men at her work felt uncomfortable with her. Now, men in every country would laugh their asses off at what these American male bosses did to her. In every other industrialized place in the world, women who work in office jobs dress like that.

So why did she get fired? Simple. We have laws against "sexual harassment" that are so severe, these men were deathly afraid of anything that could happen as a result of her affection for sartorial beauty. And who came up with these laws against sexual harassment? Yep, the same feminists seeking to turn women into men. Ms. Lorenzana is different. She dresses the way she does, because she is a self-confident woman. And self-confident people help boost esteem in whatever surroundings they are in. Why wasn't she accepted for being a woman?

One problem you see in society today is the sloppy dress habits of Americans. One place where standards have deteriorated is the office. Too much casual, too much carelessness, too much obsession with "comfort". I remember that horrible time when office women would go to the office in tennis shoes. Ugh! It's easy to see why Ms. Lorenzana is being ostracized. Look at all the sloppy dress of people going to work at the office!

When I was in high school, it was a rule that student-athletes had to dress up the day of (or the day before, if it was on Saturday) a game. Cheerleaders dressed up in their uniforms for classes. The purpose was understandable, but in a high school of 900 students, that meant those jocks dressing up weren't "representing" their school, but rather looked badly out of place.

Nevertheless, it should've left an imprint on all of us in later life. Instead, you now see people going to church the same way they do to the grocery store! Sadly, most churches are openly encouraging this, on the guise that "God will accept you however you look". Problem is, Orthodox (and some Catholic) church officials are openly lamenting the lack of fashion decency in their churches.

Going back to the point, the one rule in life forgotten over time is, "dress to impress". That is true in all facets of life, but is especially true when we try to meet that special someone for a relationship.

And one thing, above all, that men love to see in women, is that they dress fabulous. Dress like women! Even if you're a bit obese, you can make that up by dressing classy; men appreciate the effort to dress up for the occasion.

One time, I went out to eat with a lady at a casual restaurant, facially cute, she wasn't "real thin" but still attractive and seemed friendly. She dressed up in ragged jeans and a frumpy sweater. Deep down, I felt by the way she displayed herself that it wasn't worth the effort. This has generally been the case with the women I've gone out, since then. So much so, I once asked a girl to dress up for the occasion, to the best she can, and I didn't really want to ask her to do it, but she didn't seem to mind.

Contrast that with one time, when I went out with a lady in another country. She asked me to come back in an hour to go out; when I returned, she was heavily dolled up, makeup, lipstick, good dress, all that. I couldn't believe it, but deep-down I sure loved it!

Now, all you women out there reading this, please take my advice. Men love women who look and act beautiful. That is the RULE in every other society. Men are always curious as to how women live and act. Why deny them the opportunity to let them see for themselves? Men are respectful towards women who respect them back. And one way to respect them is to understand their feelings, what they think, what they like. It's not perversion, it's the natural order of things!

I really want to hear your take. I created this blog mainly because it is impossible to ask anything at a dating site's forum. I won't get banned by explaining my opinion! And I'll continue to touch on this topic every now and then.

For starters.....

Being open-minded.

As I start this blog, the whole purpose here will be to talk about anything, without any repercussions over what the subject is, or what we discuss. Nothing taboo here.
