A “Perfect” Female Body?

According to the media and Hollywood, the perfect female body is one that is pretty much stick thin and has no curves. If you agree with Hollywood, I got some news flash for you. In most cases, this is NOT the perfect body, and it certainly isn’t what most men in most of the world are looking for. Being skinny doesn’t necessarily mean beautiful. In fact, it can make many people look underfed and sickly (No offense to the skinny ladies out there). 

While obesity is also not the answer, most people still prefer a woman with a few extra pounds than one who is underweight. Don’t forget, most of us will never be famous, nor are we trying to impress the media. So, why are so many of us trying to achieve a body shape that is almost non-achievable, worldly unattractive and that could make us unhealthy? Rather than striving for skinny, maybe it is time to start striving for a beautiful hourglass figure.

How Long Do You Wait After a First Date Before Calling Back?

A survey performed by the company LoveGeist was commissioned by Match.com last year, and it found that after a first date on a Saturday evening, most daters will get in touch by 11:48 AM on Monday with a call or text. Thus, 1.52 days is now the average time spent waiting for a follow-up message. The three-day rule is now cut in half! (I don’t, however, recommend a first date on a Saturday night, especially a first online date. A weeknight or Sunday evening date works well, and then if you want to see each other again, you can plan for the coveted Friday or Saturday night slot when you already know you have some chemistry. Remember, sometimes it’s better to be a PSP than a DO.)

Why People Worry That Depression Will Ruin Their Marriage

If you are suffering depression, then it is likely to affect even those in your social network. For this reason, depression can affect both the sufferer and his or her marriage.  If untreated in the right time, depression can destroy many aspects of an individual’s life.  Friendships, work, relationships and domestic life are some of the aspects that can suffer adverse effects from depression.  

If your partner suffers depression, then your relationship is likely to suffer. If you are living with a person with the condition, being cautious and understanding the person's situation are advised. The best or advisable thing to do, however, is to encourage the person to take medication and visit a doctor regularly for monitoring of the condition. Professionals like counselors can be of help also.
