Life isnt Sex and the City
A couple of weeks ago, I watched a Sex and the City episode, in which Charlotte, in her never-ending quest to find true love, attends a seminar to teach her how to do just that. She drags Carrie along, who scoffs at the whole thing. She thinks both the women who got sucked into attending and the seminar leader are sad and ridiculous. To attract the right men, the crowd is counseled to use affirmations, which Carrie finds preposterous. These suckers actually think they're going to meet guys by reciting a string of useless words! During the presentation, Charlotte raises her hand to ask the leader a question. She says something like, "I've been using my affirmations, but I still haven't found the right one." Slightly annoyed, the leader says, you have to get out there, you have to love yourself, and so on. Carrie grabs the mic from Charlotte and insists, "She is out there." The leader says something, but Carrie drowns her out, "She is out there." As far as Carrie's concerned, the seminar is a scam. There are probably no decent men left on the planet. The good ones are married, and the rest have issues. Now, I enjoy watching Sex and the City. It's fun. It's light. It takes my mind off more serious things. But it is not real life! Carrie may discount the power of affirmations, but I didn't. If you aim to attract a wonderful man, you shouldn't, either. They work. Even better, they're free. Indeed, they are one of the most important methods I used to attract the right man for me(who I've been happily married to for almost 13 years). After years of dating losers, schmoozers, and No-Show Joes, I attracted a loyal, loving, reliable, successful, fun man by using affirmations. If you want to attract a man who is worthy of you, who will add to your happiness, then decide what qualities you want in a man and write an affirmation in the present tense: I am happily married to (or in a relationship with) a ____, ____, _____, ______ man. Write it ten times a day. Recite it in the shower. Repeat it to yourself as you're falling asleep at night. Give it time. You could start attracting better men within weeks. If you've been hurt or have trouble trusting men, it will take more time. But keep it up. Keep it to yourself. You'll find out that it's worth it. By all means, keep watching Sex and the City. Just remember that it's fiction. Few people, men or women, actually behave like its characters in Manhattan or anywhere else.

Table For Two Please!
I recently heard a woman say that she would not date a short man. She doesn't care about how nice he is, educated, godly or anything else ? he's short and that doesn't work for her. "I'm a tall woman ? I need a tall man." Then I heard another woman say that she would not date a guy who is uneducated. "A guy is not perfect for me if he doesn't have a college degree." Then, I read an article by a brother asking, "What's a brother to do?" He's tired of showing up at a restaurant requesting a table for one. "My goal this year is to hear Towns, party of two." According to Mr. Towns, he's tall ? 5'10", dark ? not like Wesley Snipes but close, he has big brown eyes ? one on each side of his face ? that's important, he's articulate, reasonably intelligent, in good health, practices good manners and doesn't burp, scratch or grab himself in public. I'm not mad at that!

Quality Adult Personals
Quality adult personals are becoming harder to find these days. The recent growth in the online dating world has created a polluted industry, leaving only a handful of good quality sites.
When searching for an adult personals site to join, you should set a quality standard. Sites meeting this standard should offer a minimum of the following features:
1. Create a Free Profile ? A free profile is almost a must these days. Sites that do not offer this may be trying to rip you off.
2. Upload photos - To accompany your profile, you should also be able to post photos free.
3. Quick Search ? At the least, you should be able to search by age, zip code, gender, and interest. Today's top adult personals provide you with these tools to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
4. View Member Photos ? Yes, for many people, looks do matter. You should be able to view members' photos before even talking to them, eliminating those who don't meet your standards.
5. Feel Secure - Most important, the environment of a quality adult personals site should make you feel safe. Professionally designed sites usually make you feel secure.
So there you have the quality standard. Don't waste your time on sites that do not offer the features mentioned above. Today's top adult personals are able to provide you with them for free.

Christ-Centered Life on Dating
In a contemporary Christian world, there is a hidden reality that believers today set aside some of the moral issues regarding dating and relationships. The tradition and belief of early Christians that is supposed to be adopted by every believers of every generation is vanishing in an alarming rate. Several factors can be 'blamed' for this but one major factor that can be blamed is the societal openness on issues regarding premarital sex. With the fast growing society and ever expanding information about everything including the issues on sex, the real deal on the meaning of sex in Christian decree is more often than not, remained unnoticed. The great combined influence of media, peers, environment, and sometimes even the family, indulges each Christian dating couple to desecrate the sacredness of sex in the context of marriage. The Torah commands us to marry before we engage in sexual relations. Sexual intercourse, when done properly, is a holy act. Marriage means inviting God into the relationship. Premarital sex reduces a holy act into a base, animalistic desire.
