“You can have anything you want…” (Love Quote)
This love quote tells you that you can have anything you want. And if you believe that, it might just become true!
“You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.”
Sheila Graham

„Typical for Men“ and „Typical Women“ Stereotypes –
A Funny Facebook App
Do you often think „That’s just typical for men!“ or „Typical – WOMEN!“ when yo are talking to your partner? Sometimes communication in a relationship can be a bit like international diplomatic relations – you just don’t speak the same language!
There’s a funny facebook app that lets you test your knowledge of certain typical questions that men ask women and questions that women ask men. We’re not quite sure if it’s even possible to get all the answers right, but if you enjoy a good facebook app and want to laugh about some typical for men/women stereotypes, you should try it!
Here’s a few gender clichees that appear in the facebook app:
Typical for men?
They don’t understand when women get emotional
They are insensitive
They ALL dream about threesomes
They hate commitment
etc.
Typical women stereotypes?
They always want to go shopping
They are sensitive about their weight
They love talking about their relationship
They are constantly looking for compliments
etc.
What do you think? Is there any truth in these typical for men/women stereotypes? And can you guess the right answer?
What Men Want, Think, Feel, Like… Find Out What Men Really Think About Love, Sex and Relationships
Every woman has probably asked herself what men want. Because if a woman wants to find herself a man (and even if not), a bit of inside information can’t hurt. For instance, what are these three men thinking (other than “man, do we look cool”)? Maybe the results of the askmen survey will help us find out what men want, think and feel…
Of course the study deals with issues surrounding love, sex and relationships, but also lifestyle, work and money. Let’s take a look at some of the love, sex and relationship questions: Read more
Want to Change Your Boyfriend? The Myth of the Changeable Boyfriend
Do you love your boyfriend? Do you think he’s just a great guy, except…? Do you think he would be absolutely perfect, if only…? Would you be perfectly happy, as soon as you could change him, just a little?
This is fundamentally a female issue. It’s usually a woman who wants to change her boyfriend, rarely the other way around. 
TTo get behind the reason for all this boyfriend-changing would require a whole post on its own, but lets just say that maybe women enjoy changing boyfriends and boyfriends quite often are in need of change 
The real question is: is it actually possible to change your boyfriend? The short answer: no. The only person who can change your boyfriend is your boyfriend – it’s as simple as that.
However, it is possible to, ahem, encourage change. Depending on the scale of change a woman is aiming for, this may or may not lead to a new, improved boyfriend.
- We are operating under the assumption that your relationship as such is good and that your boyfriend is a great guy. If there is more wrong than right with him or the relationship, then why even bother? It may help to make a list detailing the things that are good about your relationship and the things that you want to change. If the bad outweighs the good, you can stop right there. The relationship is obviously doomed. You should save yourself the hassle of trying to change your boyfriend and find a new, happier relationship instead.
- If, however, the list of cons is short, then it depends on how fundamental your boyfriend-changes are. Should they require a complete personality-turnaround, brainwash, everything short of a lobotomy, then you might consider exchanging this faulty boyfriend for a new model better suited to your relationship needs. If, however, you want to change minor issues of appearance, manners, habits, you’re in with a chance.
If you are sure that the relationship is worth it and that the things you want to change are relatively minor, here’s how to change your boyfriend:
- The key to success is to refrain from open criticism. This will only put your boyfriend on the defensive.
- Use positive reinforcement. If your boyfriend is wearing something you like, tell him how great he looks, if your boyfriend helps out around the house, thank him (and remember that actions speak louder than words).
- Remember that there is a (small, but still…) chance that you yourself are not quite perfect. Be open to your boyfriend’s suggestions and be prepared to change your own habits in exchange.
- Relationships are always about giving as much as receiving. If your boyfriend takes you to a concert as a favour, then go along with something he wants to do in return .
- The most important thing is to let him find out for himself that change is positive and your boyfriend will eventually want to change for the better.
