{When with your man, or any man in the room, and it gets to that stage he strips off, there are certain things you ought not to say, else you would kill the mood.}

Also, if you know you aren’t ready to get laid, NEVER LET HIM TAKE IT ALL OFF.

When a man gets naked, he gets a bit more different in attitude and character, and what you say or do afterwards might make or spoil his day.

There are certain things you shouldn’t really say to a naked man

{{1. Why aren’t you hard yet?}}

This question is a certified mood killer. Sometimes, it could take a while to get him off as a result of stress, alcohol and other vices. Rather than say this, try to stimulate him instead, else you would ruin the mood.

{{2. I’m not in the mood }}

This is like going to a store, collecting a candy, open it up and start eating only to notice you left your money at home. It’s better to tell him you aren’t in the mood before he gets naked, because once he gets naked, there is no turning back for him.

{{3. Oh! }}

When a lady says oh after seeing a man naked, it’s usually for two reasons; it’s either he has a big organ or a small one. If he notices that your ‘oh’ is for the second reason then you’ve succeeded in making him less confident.

{{4. Do you love me?}}

Well, this is a wrong question to ask a man that’s naked and only has one thing in his mind. Of course he wouldn’t tell you no at that point.

{{5. Can we hold on for a few minutes?}}

This is also another question that could leave him on the edge. You don’t wake up a sleeping tiger and expect it to hold on. If you aren’t ready, never take things too far.

{{6. My ex used to…}}

There are better ways to discuss your fantasies than reminding him of what your ex used to do; no man loves that.

{{7. Maybe some other time }}

After getting to this stage, the only other time on his mind is now. Some other time doesn’t exist in his dictionary at that point.

{{8. I need to take this call }}

That call would seem so unimportant to him at that time, regardless of who’s calling; it would only kill the mood.

{{9. I think I have something to tell you }}

Discussions are usually boring when a man is naked and worse still when it’s a bad news. Choose a better time and probably a better venue.

{{10. Guys love it when I…}}

That’s another bad one to say; this passes a message of being too flirty or rather too promiscuous. Except it’s a fling, no man would want to know of your sexual escapade.

There are certain things you shouldn’t ignore, and these ten things are exactly what every naked man would never love to hear.

{People try to quantify success as only what they can see, the money in their bank account and the number of material things they can afford. That’s their definition of success; but success is bigger than that. Many people are successful and don’t even know it.}

These signs below clearly show that you are successful:

{{1. You have dreams and goals }}

If you have dreams, goals and a passion for something then you are on the pathway to success. You can’t live your life without goals and dreams; it takes off the magic of being human and being driven.

{{2. You believe in yourself }}

If you have belief in yourself, no matter the situation you are in and what you have been through, then you’re successful.

Having great belief in yourself is one of the greatest successes you can have in life.

{{3. You work towards your dream }}

Your dreams will be a total waste if you don’t put efforts in making it a reality. If you don’t work towards your dream, it will die; but if you do, then you are a successful person already.

{{4. You have a conscience }}

Many people loot, kill, cheat, defraud others, steal and perpetrate all manners of evil just to get rich, but this is wrong. Real success isn’t built this way; if you have a conscience and choose to do what’s good and right, you’re a successful person.

{{5. You build amazing friendships }}

People no longer value friendships, but building amazing friendship is worth more than gold and silver. I’d never exchange a good friend for anything in life; if you have such friendships, then you don’t how successful you are. It would only take an amazing person to build a loyal and amazing friendship with someone else, that isn’t characterised by what you have and what you don’t.

You don’t know how successful you are if you can boast of having a friend who is there for you always and who you are there for; not everyone can boast of this, and that is success.

{{6. You have love in your life}}

Love these days is underrated, but it shouldn’t be so. If you have the love of a friend, family or spouse, then you are successful.

{{7. You invest in people }}

When you are interested in people; in making people better, in putting a smile on someone’s face and bettering lives wherever you go, you are a successful person, and the world needs more people like you.

{{8. You build happiness wherever you go }}

The real successful people are happy people; they are interested in making people happy and building happiness wherever they go. No success is real success if there isn’t happiness.

{{9. You have a good heart
}}

A good heart, a kind heart — these two things are a rarity in this generation, but those with these qualities are the real successful ones.
{{
10. You seek knowledge }}

You improve yourself, you seek knowledge and you try to learn and understand things better in every situation you find yourself — that’s success.

{{11. You make yourself better }}

You can’t call it success when you are stagnant in life; when you don’t try to be a better version of yourself in whatever situation you find yourself. Whether it’s your relationship, career, family, education — try to make yourself better with each day, and that my friend is the real definition of success.

Don’t join the bandwagon of people who believe success is power or wealth; success goes beyond that, and it’s something not everyone can understand.

{When a man is with his buddies, they tend to talk a lot about women; women from their older times, women they are currently dating or married to, or the ones they have a crush on and even the ones they dislike.}

There are loads of things men talk about women, when they are together.

{{1. What they like/hate in a woman }}

Men talk to each other a lot about what they like and admire in a lady; they reveal those deep things that make them fall for a lady, and the things they want in their present/future lady. They also talk about the things they detest as well.

{{2. A girl they are trying to woo }}

Men also talk to each other about a particular girl they like and they’re trying to get. They talk about what they really want from her (i.e sex or relationship), how much they admire her and the progress they have made while trying to woo her.

{{3. Laugh at each other’s mistakes or choice }}

Men also laugh at each other and crack jokes about the mistakes a pal has made regarding a woman, and they even laugh at each other’s choices in a woman.

{{4. The sex }}

Men love sex and talk about sex a lot; they talk about their favourite sex positions, the ladies they’ve been with, the ones they have had the best sex with and their current sex life.

{{5. The woman troubles }}

Men tend to talk about the women troubles in their life; whatever is going wrong with the lady they are dating or trying to woo, they talk about it.

{{6. Advice on what to do }}

Men seek advice from each other on a lot of things regarding women. It could be how to win her over, about certain issues they are facing in the relationship and even sex. There’s always an advice giver and an advice seeker.

{{7. A crush }}

Guys have crushes a lot, and are almost always determined to win that crush over; it’s somehow like a sport to most men, and you know men love sports. Guys talk to each other about a girl they really like and want to have.

These are some of the common things men talk to each other about women, and talks like these always go with different kinds of jokes.

{What’s the essence of life if you aren’t going to live it happily? A happy life is worth more than gold; being happy in life is probably the best form of success.}

However, the irony of if all is that we do certain things which would make living a happy life a far cry from reality. There are certain habits and mentality you have to let go of if you want to live a happy.

{{1. Comparing yourself to others }}

You can never live a happy life if you keep making unhealthy comparisons with others; everyone have different lives to live, if you make the life of another your mirror, happiness would only be a distant memory. Live your life the best way you can; the grass is never greener on the other side.

{{2. You can’t be perfect }}

You can’t get it all right, you can’t live life without making mistakes; every genius act, every innovation, every success were born out of mistakes. Never aim to be perfect and never let failure weigh you down; learn from it, but never let it break you apart.

{{3. You can’t please everyone }}

You can never please everyone you come across; people would hate you, people would loathe you, people would like you, people would love you. Trying to please everyone would only make you live a life filled with hardship, worries and unhappiness.

{{4. You don’t need anything to make you perfect or accepted }}

I usually hear people say “if only I was richer”, ” if I had a nicer car”, “if I was married” or “if I had better looks”. If you think you need something extra to make you amazing then you would never be amazing. Like the song of Bruno Mars, “you’re amazing just the way you are”.

{{5. Stop complaining about everything }}

Complaining never solves a thing; if you keep complaining about life or many things in life, you would never be happy. Complaints are only healthy when you try to get something off your chest or when it’s aimed at solving a problem. Stop complaining about everything.

{{6. Fear }}

Fear would never make you happy, fear would never solve a thing; so why fear? According Franklin D. Roosevelt; “the only thing to fear is fear itself”.

{{7. Stop the blame game}}

Don’t live your life blaming yourself, blaming everyone else or everything; it would never get you anywhere. The blame game never solves a thing; rather it builds hate, anger and unhappiness.

{{8. Don’t be greedy }}

Greedy people are never happy people. It’s okay to be ambitious, but when greed steps in, it never comes alone; it comes with other evil vices.

{{9. Forget the past }}

The past only belongs to one place – the past. If you can’t let go of the past, you can never have a happy tomorrow. Learn from the mistakes of the past and move on.

{{10. Give up on excuses }}

Do everything you ought to do; give up on excuses and procrastination, they are terrible habits. Excuses builds room for laziness and ignorance, and with these two in your life, happiness would hardly ever exist.

It’s not the abundance of riches or a lack of it that makes life happy or unhappy; it’s finding solace in every situation that would bring happiness. Why don’t you be happy?

{People expect the prettiest girls to have a boyfriend but it doesn’t always work that way. The truth is that there are lots of pretty girls without a boyfriend. So why do the prettiest girls have no boyfriend?}

{{1. The prettiest ladies don’t trust the intentions of guys }}

Most pretty ladies I know find it difficult trusting a man because it’s hard to judge if he wants you for just your look or who you really are? Many pretty ladies I know have had bad experiences with guys who just wanted to sleep with them because they are pretty and didn’t really love them for who they really are.

{{2. Most guys are intimidated by a pretty woman }}

Most guys are intimidated by a pretty woman. They just assume she is too pretty to even be in their class. They lose every confidence they have when they are around a pretty woman. Most pretty woman are single because most guys are afraid to approach them.

{{3. Pretty ladies doesn’t settle for any man }}

The prettiest ladies I know have standards when it comes to choosing a man. They don’t settle for any man. If you don’t meet their standards, you have no chance with them. The pool of men who can actually meet their standards are quite small and this is why they are mostly single.

{{4. Every man assumes they have a boyfriend }}

The prettiest women are mostly single because most guys just assume they already have a boyfriend. When he assumes she’s taken, he doesn’t bother talking to her.

{{5. Most guys believe the competition is fierce }}

Most guys hate competition and this is why they stay away from the prettiest women. They know she’s very pretty so they assume every man would want her. The fear of a competition to keep her makes most men stay away from the prettiest women. They believe they might end up with a heart break if they try to date a very pretty woman.

{We’ve all at some point in our lives, found ourselves getting down with someone…not in real life, but in our dreams. But how many of us really know that those dreams represent something? If you didn’t, now, you do, and I’ll be telling you what the different types of sex dreams mean; so sit, back, relax, and be informed.}

{{1. Sex with your buddy’s partner }}

This has probably happened to you before, and you woke up confused because you know you have no such intentions toward the person in question. If this was the case with you, well, you don’t have to worry because it’s not always what you think.

Sleeping with your buddy’s partner in your dream doesn’t necessarily mean that you have thoughts of getting down with them in real life (unless you actually do), it could mean that you just like a special attribute in them or you’re looking for something they have in your next partner.

{{2. Sex dreams about cheating }}

If you’ve seen yourself sleeping with another man/woman in your dreams, while you have a real life relationship, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to cheat on your partner, you’re probably just feeling bad about past arguments, or are having issues with insecurities.

{{3. Sex with strangers in your dreams }}

If you see yourself having sex with people you don’t really know in your dreams, more often than you like, it may mean just one thing… your libido is on the high side.

{{4. Sex with celebrities in your dreams }}

Ok, you’re having sex with strangers, but not just ordinary strangers, but celebs and people you watch on TV and stuff. This type of dream may not be far from your desire to attain fame, money, and to rise up in social status.

{{5. Sex dreams with an ex }}

This has pretty much happened to the best of us, hasn’t it? And if you’re scared it means you’re getting back with your ex, it doesn’t. Having sex with an ex is probably your way of getting over the remaining feelings you have for them.

{{6. Sex dreams about your best friend }}

If you see yourself having sex with your bestie in your dreams, it means one of two things— you have a big crush on them or you are subconsciously celebrating your new-found connection with them.

So now you know what your sex dreams mean. Do share this with someone that’s probably having this.

{Scientists used a rigorous study design to assess the biological impact of meditation compared to vacation. The researchers found that a resort vacation provides a strong and immediate impact on molecular networks associated with stress and immune pathways, in addition to short-term improvements in well-being, as measured by feelings of vitality and distress. A meditation retreat, for those who already used meditation regularly, was associated with molecular networks characterized by antiviral activity. The molecular signature of long-term meditators was distinct from the non-meditating vacationers.}

Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the University of California, San Francisco, and Harvard Medical School used a rigorous study design to assess the biological impact of meditation compared to vacation. They examined the effect of meditation on gene expression patterns in both novice and regular meditators. The researchers found that a resort vacation provides a strong and immediate impact on molecular networks associated with stress and immune pathways, in addition to short- term improvements in well-being, as measured by feelings of vitality and distress. A meditation retreat, for those who already used meditation regularly, was associated with molecular networks characterized by antiviral activity. The molecular signature of long-term meditators was distinct from the non-meditating vacationers. The study was published in Springer Nature’s journal Translational Psychiatry.

The study involved 94 healthy women, aged 30-60. Sixty-four women were recruited who were not regular meditators. Participants stayed at the same resort in California for six days, and randomized so that half were simply on vacation while the other half joined a meditation training program run by the Chopra Center for Well Being. The meditation program included training in mantra meditation, yoga, and self reflection exercises. It was designed by Deepak Chopra, MD, who did not participate in data collection or analysis.

For greater insight into the long-term effects of what scientists dubbed the “meditation effect” compared to the “vacation effect,” the team also studied a group of 30 experienced meditators who were already enrolled in the retreat that week. Researchers collected blood samples, and surveys, from all participants immediately before and after their stay, as well as surveys one month and ten months later.

“In the spirit of other research efforts we have pioneered with other groups, this work underscores the importance of studies focused on healthy people,” said Eric Schadt, PhD, senior author on the paper and the Jean C. and James W. Crystal Professor of Genomics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Founding Director of the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology. “By combining an interrogation of gene networks with advanced data analysis and statistics, we have generated clinically meaningful information about stress and aging that is relevant to the broader population.”

The research team examined the changes in 20,000 genes to determine which types of genes were changing before and after the resort experience. Scientists performed an integrative transcriptomic analysis, comparing gene expression networks across all three groups of participants and finding unique molecular profiles and pathway enrichment patterns. Study results show that all groups — novice meditators, experienced meditators, and vacationers — had significant changes in molecular network patterns after the week at the resort, with a clear signature distinguishing baseline from post-vacation biology. The most notable changes in gene activity were related to stress response and immune function.

Researchers assessed self-reported measures of well being. While all groups showed improvements up to one month later, the novice meditators had fewer symptoms of depression and less stress much longer than the non-meditating vacationers. The psychological effects appear to be enduring and it is unknown how much of this longer lasting benefit may be due to continued practice or lasting changes in how people view events in their lives.

“It’s intuitive that taking a vacation reduces biological processes related to stress, but it was still impressive to see the large changes in gene expression from being away from the busy pace of life, in a relaxing environment, in such a short period of time. These findings will have to be replicated to see if the changes are reliably invoked under the same circumstances, in future studies, and compared to an at-home control group,” said Elissa S. Epel, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco and first author of the study.

“Based on our results, the benefit we experience from meditation isn’t strictly psychological; there is a clear and quantifiable change in how our bodies function,” said Rudolph Tanzi, PhD, the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University, and Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Meditation is one of the ways to engage in restorative activities that may provide relief for our immune systems, easing the day-to-day stress of a body constantly trying to protect itself. The prediction is that this would then lead to healthier aging.”

{Every man loves sex and research has found that men have 5 times more testosterone than women, and in turn a higher sex drive than women.}

However, there are some other things men also love in women.

{{1. Originality }}

Men also love women who are original; who don’t live a life of pretence and who they also feel original with. Women like these encourage men to be their real selves and not be someone else.

{{2. A beautiful smile }}

Men also love women who smile and laugh a lot. It just gives women an extra doze of beauty in a man’s eyes, and it makes a man see such a woman as adorable.

{{3. Spontaneity }}

Men also love when woman are spontaneous; women who could just do something out of the blues usually thrill their men.

{{4. Humour }}

A woman with a good sense of humour; who takes jokes naturally and also has her funny side would win over a man easily. Men love women with a humorous side.

{{5. A good cook }}

Men also appreciate women who can cook really appetising dishes. The aroma of a good food turns a man on, literally.

{{6. A caring woman }}

A woman with a good heart; who’s kind, loving and caring is also adored by men. Men love this motherly quality in a woman.

{{7. A natural woman }}

Sometimes a man just loves to appreciate the natural beauty of a woman. Many women these days love heavy makeups, and men now seem to appreciate natural looks a lot more.

While men might love sex and good looks, sometimes men also appreciate these little things.

{These questions are so tricky that if not properly asked could put a man in big trouble.}

These are questions guaranteed to explode into a huge argument if not properly answered by the man.

Below are 5 of the toughest questions women ask men

{{1. Do I look fat?}}

This question looks harmless until you answer it wrongly. Avoid saying “I wouldn’t call you fat but I wouldn’t call you thin either” or “A little extra weight looks good on you”. Women are so conscious of their body so an honest answer in this situation isn’t needed. So say “No, of course not” confidently and quickly leave the room as you don’t want her to ask you to explain yourself.

2. Do you love me?

Women always love to be reassured you love them; it’s how they are programmed. Never say “I suppose so” or “Does it matter” and avoid complimenting her looks or body. Instead confidently say “Yes” and talk about aspects of her that won’t change like she being a wonderful person.

{{3. What are you thinking?}}

This is another harmless question that could explode into an argument if wrongly answered. Please never tell her you are thinking of football, basketball etc. You shouldn’t be doing that when she is trying to spend quality time with you. Try not to beat around the bush when answering her but ensure your answer corresponds with happenings at that moment except it’s a serious event from work etc. Please avoid telling her it was sports you were thinking about.

{{4. Do you think she is prettier than me?}}

This is another tricky question that could heat things up if wrongly answered. She has to be the prettiest woman in the world in your eyes and you should avoid answers like “She is prettier but you have a better personality” or “Not prettier but just pretty in a different way”.

{{5. Do you like my new dress?}}

She is asking this question because she wants you to notice her new dress. Women love being noticed by their man, this is something you should have known by now. Just telling “Yes” and continuing with what you were doing might cause more harm than good. Instead tell her why you love the dress – the colours, it fits etc.

{One problem the modern man has is that he has lost the sensitive part of him in his quest to be seen as tough by all. While there isn’t anything wrong with being tough, balancing being tough and being sensitive is important if you want your marriage to work.}

Here are 5 ways you hurt your wife

{{1. You don’t put her first }}

What’s the point getting married to her if you won’t put her first. Most men put their jobs and their mothers before their wives and this is wrong. Your wife needs to come first if you want your marriage to work.

{{2. You don’t provide for the family }}

It’s wrong for a man to start a family with a woman and sit at home expecting his wife to provide for the family. This is wrong. As a husband, you are expected to provide the basics for your family, regardless of whether your wife works or not.

{{3. You don’t show her you love }}

Your wife wants you to regularly show her that you still love her. Saying “I love you” everyday is never enough. Get her surprise gifts, take out for a dinner, buy her flowers and call her regularly. When you show your wife you still love her, she will go any length for you.

{{4. You withhold physical affection }}

You hurt your wife badly when you withhold physical affection from her. She wants you to kiss every morning you wake and also before you leave for work. She wants you to kiss her when you get back home. She wants you to cuddle her without thinking of s*x. She wants you to hold her hands. She wants you to always hug her. You need to understand that physical affection is more than just sex.

{{5. You cheat on her }}

Why get married to her and start a family with her if you know you will still have eyes for other women outside. You hurt your wife badly when you sleep around with other women because when you cheat, you tell her you don’t value and respect her.
