How to become every man’s dream LADY

Being good to a man simply isn't the key ingredient. So many women make their mistake here. They give and give hoping it will endear them to the man. They bend over backwards pleasing him. This isn't what makes a man fall in love. This is what makes you a doormat. A woman willing to sacrifice of herself to please another just isn't attractive, she is convenient at the most. If you wonder what is a dream girl, this is not it!

It's the woman that challenges him that men fall in love with. It's the woman who stands up for herself with feminine grace and feminine elegance that wins his heart. The woman that will show him with ease that she will not be a doormat. Men like to make women happy. It makes them feel good and makes them feel valued. Men fall in love with how you make them feel. If they can make you happy, they feel good. Think Tarzan running through the jungle pounding his chest and you get my drift.

If you are bending over backwards to please him, doing all the giving, you are in a sense depriving him. Learning to receive is so important. A woman that can gracefully receive from her man is a woman that men adore. Things as simple as a compliment for example. When he compliments you, do you deny the compliment or thank him authentically? If he offers to do something for you do you accept or tell him no thank you, I can do that? The natural role of the man really is to give and the woman's is to receive.
 What is the key to being irresistible to men? Men want to win. They want to win the heart of the woman. If it comes too easily, this is when he loses interest and often pulls away. This is why it's so important to resist him. It makes you hard to get. This is not a game. Your heart shouldn't be easy to get in the first place. It's valuable and you shouldn't just give it away to a man who hasn't put in the effort.


Resistance means not jumping through hoops every time he calls. It means if you have plans with the girls, you keep them and don't ditch them because you want to see him. Resistance means if he invites you to go somewhere that you aren't that crazy about, you aren't going simply to please him. You decline offers if they don't really suit you. I don't like sports. I can't help it, I just don't. A guy could have tickets to the Super Bowl and I would turn him down. I am not going along just to be in his presence.

The fact of the matter is men fall in love in your absence, not your presence. This is when they think about you. When they think about you their imaginations fill in the gaps. Usually with positive things. If you are always there jumping to be with him when ever humanly possible, he doesn't have time to think about you. If you offer no resistance, you offer no challenge. Men love a challenge. They simply can't resist it.

Men also like mystery. A woman that jumps right into a relationship with her heart is no mystery. She is an open book. Resistance actually builds up attraction in a man. It is the key to being irresistible to men. Resistance also shows self control. A woman with control of herself and her life is very attractive to men and is hard to resist. He will put in effort to be a part of her world. He becomes challenged to get her attention because she won't just settle. If she chooses him, he feels very special.

So what is a dream girl? She is a woman that men adore and never want to leave!

How to Be the Perfect Woman

First, you must be willing. Willing to hide away the things you know and defer to a man's concept of the world, or maybe every man's concept, if you are really ambitious.
Next, turn on the television. Go to the movie theater and sit through every film, at every showing, back to back-- until they shut the projectors down. While you are there, you must memorize the faces of every young woman you see on the screen. Study the way they dress, the clothes they wear and how their bodies wear them. Memorize the way those women laugh, the way they tilt back their heads and the beautiful, gentle sounds they make. Go home and look at yourself in the mirror. Tilt back your head. Make those sounds.
Notice what you are lacking.
Practice being better than you are.
Or just stand at the checkout of the grocery store and scan the perfect faces on every magazine cover. Whatever you see -- on film, in print, in the front windows of the stores at the shopping mall -- this is what you must try to be.
If you want to be the perfect woman, it will be hard work. There are so many things you are going to have to be.
But there are so many things you can not be, too.
Do not be old, because old women are irrelevant.
Or rather, if you want to be perfect, you can be 70, but you can not look like it. As the years pass, remember this: Your worth will now be measured in the distance between how old you really are and how old you appear to be. This is all that must matter, in perfection.
Do not be certain, because certain women are threatening.
Do not be loud, but be loud enough to make people want to hear you. Make them want to look your way.
If you are fat, you must be funny.
If you are fat and funny, you must acknowledge this to every single person you meet.
If you talk like a man, and say the things that men say, or wear your freedom like a vest, people will be nervous. People will get anxious.
Do not make them anxious.
If you have sex because it feels good, because you want to, because you can, you will be a slut.
Do not be a slut.
When you are asked, "How are you?", only be "great." Or be better than "great." Be perfect.
If you can't say something nice, shut your goddamn mouth.
And never be sorry. Unless you are too noisy, or in the way, or ask too much, or change your mind. Then you must apologize. You don't want to be a b*tch, do you? Or do you?
If you can do all of this, if you can find a way, if you are lucky and willing and young -- you could be perfect. Maybe.
You will please them all. Everyone will love you. Everyone will know you. Everyone will be happy.
You could be perfect.
But will you be happy?
How to be happy
You could laugh and laugh until the lines of your face are trenches that your children bury their memories inside.

You could love a man with fortitude and faithfulness. You could wear his naked body as a cloak at night, let it cover you up and carry you. You can carry him too.
Or you could live by yourself and please no one but yourself, sleeping with the constancy of your own skin as a warm reminder of what remains whole. Of what remains yours and yours alone.
And if you decide he is worthy, you could let him marry you. If he is lucky.
You could demand all the things you deserve in a voice that is loud and certain and sure.
You could wait your turn when it is right to wait and push ahead when you must push. You could do both. It's okay to do both.
You could care about what matters most to you, to only you, what makes your heart sing, what keeps you awake at night.
You could walk by the glossy magazines and remember that even those women do not really look like those women.
You could grow old with purpose. You could notice that no one notices you anymore when you walk down the street in a short dress. That heads no longer turn when you flip your hair.
You could be sad.
Or you could be thankful. Thankful that your heart beats, tick tock. That your hair is thick and growing, if grey. Thankful that one man notices the curve of your back, the softening folds of your skin. The depth in your words.
You could be useful.
You could correct them when they tell you that you are funny, for a girl.
You could dance all night. You could sweat and shine and drink beer.
You could swear.
You could tell them the truth, when they ask "How are you?" Even if you are not great. Even if you are not fine.
You could value what your best friend values in you. You could value what your children remember most about their earliest days. The way you scratched their back with your bitten off finger nails, the way you always let them bring a friend to dinner. The way you crooked teeth smiled to them over the edge of their crib at night.
You could be content. You could be comfortable. You could be enough.
You could work harder, to be someone else. You could be perfect.
Or you could be exactly who you are, with perfection.
You are good enough, for all the people who love you, just as you are right now.
But when.
When will you be good enough for you?

How to Get a Flat Stomach Part 1

Make your belly look like this:

 

 

 

 Part 1: Following a Healthy Diet

1. 
   Don't eat anything for two to three hours before sleep. Your body slows down when you sleep, which will prevent your body from digesting the food in your stomach properly.
   

   • You are also much less active in the evenings and at night, which means that your body is more likely to store the calories you consume late at night as fat, rather than burning them as energy.
   • Try not to eat anything at least two to three hours before going to bed, or follow the "daylight diet", which only allows you to eat during daylight hours.
2. 
   Eat healthier. There's no real secret when it comes to having a flat-tummy friendly diet — you simply need to eat more healthy foods like fruit, veg, and whole grains, and cut down on junk food, like candy, chips and fast food. Just by making this simple switch, you'll see a world of difference to your stomach. However, it's not recommended that you go cold turkey — try to ease into a healthy diet by slowly, but consistently replacing the bad with the good. Here are some simple changes you can make:
   

   • Eat lots of lean protein. Beans, nuts, and lean meat are rather good for you as long as you do not eat the fat!
   • Eat whole grains. Look for labels that say "100% whole grain" or "100% whole wheat" and not just "wheat flour." Whole grains keep you fuller longer, which can help with weight loss and getting a flat tummy.
   • Eat low-fat dairy products. Switch out your high-fat dairy for low-fat options, which are rich in protein and vitamin B6.
   • Eat healthy fats. Not all fat is bad you know! The monounsaturated fats found in avocados, nuts and fish oil are actually very good for you and can help you to lose weight. Just stay away from the trans fats found in processed foods and baked goods.^[1]
   • Lower your sodium intake. Sodium causes your body to retain water, which causes you to look bloated — especially around your abdominal region. Whenever possible, try replacing high-sodium foods with healthier options. Switch regular table salt for kosher or sea salt, which are lower in sodium, and stay away from soy sauce as it's full of it.^[2]
3. 
   Reduce your portion sizes. Rather than eating the wrong kinds of foods, many people just eat too much of the right foods. You should eat just enough until you feel full, then stop. If you're eating regular, healthy snacks throughout the day, this shouldn't leave you feeling hungry.
   

   • One good trick is to use smaller plates when you eat meals. That way, your plate will look like it's heaped with food, but you're actually eating less than you normally would. Also try to fill at least half the plate with vegetables.
   • Try to chew more slowly and thoroughly when you eat. Chewing your food well helps to speed up the digestion process in the stomach, leaving you feeling less bloated and gassy. You should chew every bite until it reaches the consistency of applesauce.^[3]
   • Take small breaks in between every bite of food when eating. The extra time will give your stomach a chance to realize that it's full, thus preventing you from over-eating.
4. 
   Eat low-glycemic index foods. These items take longer to digest, so you feel full longer. Your body will slowly absorb the nutrients so you'll avoid any spikes or drops in your blood sugar until your next meal. Some of the best low-GI foods are:^[4]
   

   • Cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, zucchini, dark leaf lettuce, onions, pears, tomatoes, watercress, broccoli, bananas, apples, and berries are all good foods to eat.
5. 
   Try to cut as much sugar from your diet as possible. Besides being full of empty calories, having less sugar in your system will help to lower your insulin levels.
   

   • Lower insulin levels equate to greater production of a hormone known as glucagon in your system.
   • Glucagon is a substance that allows glucose to be burned as energy, thus contributing to a fabulously flat stomach!
6. 
   Eat a protein-rich snack between 3 and 4 p.m. According to experts, eating a protein-rich snack at the magic hour between three and four in the afternoon will boost your metabolism and balance your blood sugar.
   

   • A protein bar or shake, a handful of almonds, or pumpkin seeds, or a chunk of low-fat cheese are all good options.
   • Having balanced blood sugars lowers the amount of insulin in your system, which is good because insulin can cause you to store fat around your middle.^[5]
7. 
   Eat small, frequent meals. Replace your usual system of eating three large meals a day, with eating smaller, more regular meals. Many people make the mistake of eating nothing at all between breakfast, lunch, and dinner, especially when they are trying to lose weight.
   

   • However, this type of diet will negatively effect blood sugar levels and cause you to eat more due to hunger, thus making it harder to lose weight.
   • Having a small, healthy snack every three to four hours and not letting yourself go hungry is a much healthier and more effective system.^[5]
8. 
   Drink plenty of water. You should replace all your regular beverages with water, especially soda and sugared drinks which are full of empty calories and will cause your stomach to bloat.
   

   • Drinking lots of water will help to flush toxins out of your system and keep your bowels moving, both of which are essential for a flat stomach.
   • If you find regular water too boring, consider making sassy water instead. Sassy water is simply regular water infused with a number of refreshing and energizing ingredients, which help to speed up the metabolism and cut down on belly fat. Recipes vary, but many include some combination of ingredients such as orange slices, lemon slices, grated ginger, cucumber, fresh spearmint, and fresh basil. The water is left to infuse overnight — making it refreshingly "sassy" by the next morning!^[6]
   • Pay attention to your body's signs. Your urine should be a light yellow or clear color; dark yellow with an odor could be a sign that you are dehydrated.
9. 
   Cut down on alcohol. While the prospect of cutting alcohol out of your diet completely may be hard to bear, you should seriously consider cutting down. Alcohol, particularly wine and beer, is full of calories (scary fact: one bottle of wine contains roughly 600 calories).
   

   • Alcohol consumption also releases estrogen into the system, which is undesirable, as excess estrogen causes the body to retain weight.
   • In addition, alcohol stimulates appetite and causes willpower to melt away, making you much more likely to binge on all the things you've been depriving yourself of, like burgers, fries, pizza, chocolate, and potato chips.

How to Succeed in a Relationship with the Perfect Girl

So you've found the girl, been on a date or two, what next? Be sure you want to get serious before reading. This article will give you a few tips on how to succeed in a relationship. 

Steps

1. 
   Talk. Communication is key. If you are afraid to talk to the girl that you're dating, or if you'd rather do something else, you need to set some priorities. Ask her how her day was. You want her to listen to you, so you should listen to her--conversation is a two way street.
   Ad
2. 
   People love talking about themselves. Ask her about her dreams and hopes. It will make her feel like you care about her. Always ask her about school and her day as well.
3. 
   Try to avoid asking lots of questions about where she's been and what she was doing. If they say "Be right back, I gotta go do something", it's usually best not to ask what she were doing, as it can make a girl feel annoyed.
4. 
   Think before you speak! Try to keep things very very positive. If she's complaining about life, don't agree. Tell her she rocks and support her.
5. 
   Compliments are excellent, but know that you should stop at the point where you're just listening to yourself talk. Girls know when you're sincere and when you're just blowing hot air. But, compliments never hurt anyone.
6. 
   Nobody can write the definitive guide on dating! You need to experiment for yourself! Remember, romance is not always an easy thing.
7. 
   Listen to what she has to say and pay attention.
8. 
   Above all, take care of yourself. Keep your daily and lifelong goals in sight. Nothing turns off a woman faster than a man who chooses to accomplish nothing, even if all his attention is directed toward her.
9. 
   Don't be obsessive. Give her some room. she doesn't need you to be hanging on her, she wants to be able to lean on you, not the other way around.
10. 
    Don't cheat on her!! If you flirt with another girl, to make her 'jealous' then its not going to work, she'll think that you like them and might end up moving on. Not all girls get jealous the same way.
11. 
    Make her friends like you, not love you. If they love you, she will think otherwise or something... Don't fall in love with her friends either!
