Never Ever Show You're JealousWritten by Sam Stevens
O.k., you're standing there all alone at a party and in far corner of room your boyfriend is talking to some groovy chick. She's coming onto him and much to your dismay, he doesn't seem to be bragging about all how happy he is in his relationship with you. In fact, he even seems to be encouraging and indulging shameless slattern's disgusting, desperate, gall-filled pleas for sexual attention. So you a) burst into tears and run from room b) go up to him and drape yourself around his neck so she can't miss fact that you and him are "together" or c) stand there and repeatedly tap his shoulder with your finger going "Um honey, honey, honey, I have to talk to you ... until he finally is forced to turn around and scream in your face "WHAT!"Actually, none of above are right answers. Unfortunately, minute you display jealousy, you convey neediness and insecurity and according to Jungian psychiatrist William Rock Penfield, people of both sexes find this extremely unattractive in a partner. What they really find attractive is something called "the unattainable." That is why your boyfriend is flirting with gorgeous interloper in first place. He knows he belongs to you and therefore she becomes attractive because she is unattainable. Another reason we flip out, and become jealous is because we know we've already been "attained". The person knows he already "has you" so there is nothing to chase... no thrill to hunt... cupid's arrow has already met its mark and now you are about as sexually exciting as a carcass thrown in a burlap sack.
| | Feng Shui to Attract LoveWritten by Sam Stevens
Not having much luck in love lately? Relationship falling apart? Maybe its those upside down dried flowers in you have hanging in your hallway, (oh so chic in Martha Stewart Land but kiss of death in Feng Shui circles.) Or maybe its antique full length mirror in your bedroom ...Feng Shui (pronounced Feng Shway) is ancient Chinese art of rearranging design elements so that they harmonize with your enviroment. Several systems are used to determine what should go where to enhance love life, but one that applies to anyone reading this is Pa Kua system. In Pa Kua, southwest corner is love sector of your home. First of all get a compass, and find out what exactly is in Southwest corner of your building. Is there a bedroom there? Good. A toilet there? Bad. It means your romantic prospects are getting flushed away. Is your Southwest corner a badly lit storeroom full of clutter? Also bad. It means your love-life will be as messy as well. In fact, no matter what room that corner is located in, it now becomes your job to enhance it as best as you can, by getting rid of clutter and using decor. You are also going to rehaul southwest corner of your bedroom to double your chances of attracting romance. What's in southwest corner of your bedroom? A closet? Bad. A vase full of beautiful flowers? Good. That will greatly enhance your chances of attracting a suitable partner. To attract a partner, Feng Shui experts recommend putting a painting of peonies, or a vase of flowers there. You could substitute any flower for peony (as long as its not prickly like a cactus), but whatever you do make sure flowers are fresh. The Chinese hate dead or dried flowers and would prefer that you have those rather than any kind of decay in a spot that signifies your love life. Also lucky for romance, is a pair of wooden ducks or a painting of two ducks (as ducks mate for life) If you don't like how formal these ducks look, you can always do what I did and put two rubber ducks in your southwest corner.
