So says new research from investigators at the University at Buffalo, who examined 193 newly-married couples over three years to see what kinds of variables might predict greater marital satisfaction. How could this be? Weren’t we always told the common wisdom — that we needed to be realistic in our relationships, and not look for that Knight in Shining Armor who comes to our rescue (or a Maiden trapped in a castle tower who needs rescuing)? Apparently the common wisdom may need to be revisited, because continuing to idealize your partner long after the glow of the wedding fades away seems to help keep you happy.

Maybe another adjective is in order. I would have used “funny looking in photos but more acceptable than the alternative.” But I’m guessing “freakish” makes for a better headline. Ironically, the post’s writer seems to be on the same page as me, in that she believes that dating guys who are taller than you can be really hot. So, don’t judge me when I say that I’m 5′2″ and have dated my share of guys 6′ and above — and I love it. Yes, it’s funny to see two people a foot or two...

And why is every so-called cougar in the ad for this dating service under 25?  We didn’t know that one 30-second commercial could trigger our gag reflex so many times. via The Frisky Post from: BlissTree Yet Another Reason to Hate the Term Cougar (Source: Healthbolt) Healthbolt blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4060553 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 18:46:12 +0100 4060553 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3957890&cid=t_294259_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fmale-partners-influence-birth-control-use%2F photo: Thinkstock A new study shows that women aged 18-25 who aren’t trying to get pregnant are more than twice as likely to use birth control when their partners are “very” in favor of it. Researchers say that this will change public health campaigns encouraging birth control use that traditionally just targeted women. Okay, hold on one second — we don’t think we’d be dating anyone who wasn’t in favor of using birth control. And if we were, screw him — we’d use it anyway. If you were dating a guy who wasn’t crazy about using contraception, would you break up with him? via Yahoo!

Its as if there are two people acting for you – your true self and a stranger. A feeling that probably extended the dysfunctional behaviour. Be true to yourself, and better romantic relationships will follow, research suggests, thus improving sexuality. A new study examined how dating relationships were affected by the ability of people to see themselves clearly and objectively, act in ways consistent with their beliefs, and interact honestly and truthfully with others. In other words, the ability to follow the words of William Shakespeare: “to thine...

I recently retired from teaching. My daughter, Amy, who is 35 and on the spectrum, has been my assistant for 16 years, since she graduated from high school. This is on a voluntary basis at a private school. Well, when I retired that meant that Amy was also out of a job. So we decided to look into a sheltered workshop. Amy is use to doing some office work and assisting me with the mundane work that all teachers hate. She has never done production work, but after touring the place she said that she thought she could do the work. Well, I didn't feel that the environ...
