Baby, Can I Afford You? Dating On The Thrift.



Sure you want to impress your date but for crying out loud you don't want to take out a government loan to do it.
No problem. With a little creativity, going on a date can be inexpensive and still a lot of fun.

Like what? Well…

The Theater

Most cities have local theater companies. You and your date could see a play at a fraction of the cost of the same play performed by a big time out of town production company.

For another type of theater, find one that shows second run movies. While they may show movies a little later then their original release date, ticket prices are very affordable and in some cases, cheaper than matinees

The Museum

Staying with the arts spend time in a museum talk to your date about the various pieces of artwork. Finding out what the other person likes or dislikes is a great way to learn more about them.

Cooking

This is an excellent way to spend quality time together. Plan your romantic dinner by talking it over then shopping for the ingredients you will need. As for the actual cooking, take your time preparing the meal. This allows the two of you to see how well you work together as a team.

The Park.

Enjoy the great outdoors with your date. You can walk around, bike ride, picnic or people watch. If the park has a lake, go ahead and rent a canoe or paddle boat. The fee is usually nominal.

A Coffee House

Price wise, springing for coffee and dessert is nothing compared to dinner for two at some expensive restaurant. And because of the relaxed atmosphere, a coffee house is a great place to chat uninterrupted and get to know your date.

Board Games

Choose a few games from your collection and challenge your date to some friendly competition Not only are these games a lot of fun but they can also be an excellent way to get to know each other better Playing games like scrabble that require creativity instead of just luck gives you a chance to really show your date who you are.

You don't have to go broke trying to impress your date. Some of the thriftiest ideas can also be some of the best. The laid back atmosphere allows you and your date to be yourselves and enjoy more of your time together.

Why Pay When You Can Get it For Free?


So you want to find a date.
Perhaps even meet a woman or man for an intimate encounter. It's virtually impossible to make the proper connection in a bar or at a club. So you find yourself clicking your way through websites online. Welcome to the world of adult online dating.

But whether you're new to the adult side of the web or you're a seasoned visitor, you've probably asked yourself, "Why pay for a dating membership when I can surf sites like MySpace for free? I mean come on. You simply create a profile on the site to "find friends" and within minutes, you have twenty friend requests from drop dead gorgeous men and women.

Sounds like heaven doesn't it? If you need even more of a selection to choose from, you just have to type in an age, gender, sexual orientation, and a zip code and you are on your way to pages full of members. All for free!

But wait...what happens when you take a closer look at the men and women who appear to be interested in an intimate encounter? A particular woman may look promising at first. You find yourself looking at her provocative picture, imagining what she must be like in person and reveling at how photogenic she is. You click through her profile, getting excited and choosing "more pictures" to see just how beautiful she really is.

But lo and behold, there's only one picture. And tons of links to other websites promising more pictures of her in even more provocative clothing, if any. Whew! However, when you click one of the links and a porn website pops up requesting your credit card number, you realize the woman doesn't even exist.

No date for you, my friend - unless you want to get friendly with your computer monitor.

When Free isn't Better

Unfortunately, the gorgeous, provocative women of MySpace are either professionals who aren't looking for dates and are sick of the hundreds of men messaging them on MySpace, or they're fake profiles created by webmasters from adult sites. These fake profiles are used to lure us to their porno websites hoping we'll take streaming video in lieu of a personal encounter.

And can we really blame them? It's a free advertising venue for them. But that doesn't change the fact that you're left empty handed. Or worse, you're not left empty handed...and that's not what you had planned for the evening.

You Get What You Pay For - If You Want an Intimate Encounter, Use an Adult Dating Website

If it's free, you're likely to come up with zilch. Nada. No go. Besides, a monthly membership at an adult dating website costs less than dinner and a movie for a single date. Wouldn't you rather skip the formalities? You can if you use a site where the people you're looking at are looking for no frills, get-to-the-point intimate encounters.

So instead of using Myspace and dealing with a webmaster scam or all the dating hoopla, pay a small fee and join a website that specializes in adult online dating. It is extremely easy to create a profile and you will be looking at hundreds of men and women who want nothing more than a randy evening with YOU.

Guarantee a Legitimate Encounter

Another great thing about using an adult dating website is that the singles on the site are legitimate. In fact many sites guarantee that there are no fraudulent profiles. So go ahead, take a few minutes and see how true adult dating beats the pants off of free sites like MySpace.

Swinging in the UK and Worlwide: New Social Trend or Step Back to Polygamy?


Today swinging or so called “lifestyle” spread over the whole Europe, USA and worldwide, and UK is the country most affected by swinging.
Though group sex and sex with multiple partners were practiced in many ancient cultures modern swinging appears to be something different rather than just an orgy. Is it a form of recreational sex for people with new type of psychology? Or is swinging just a way for people to live out their animal instincts in our sexually-controlled society?

Swinging, wife swapping and lifestyle are just new terms that appeared in the last few years. The very essence of swinging has existed during the whole course of humankind history. Polygamy was practiced in various ancient cultures. Orgies that are considered unacceptable in today’s society were normal for ancient Greek, Roman, Africa, China and many other civilizations. Relatively new Christian moral places such forms of sexuality under a rigid taboo. Though sex before marriage is widely practiced and socially acceptable today, having more than one sexual partner simultaneously is still considered a taboo. However, despite the official aversion towards any forms of group sex swinging or so called “lifestyle” has spread over the whole Europe, USA and worldwide. Modern swinging takes its roots from US air forces pilots who practices wife swapping in their camps during World War 2.

The “lifestyle” in the US pilots camps might be explained by an unusual social milieu when the fatality rate was the highest of any branch of service; swinging today on the contrary seems to affect the most prosperous and developed communities. Is it a form of recreational sex for people with new type of psychology? Or is swinging just a way for people to live out their animal instincts in our sexually-controlled society?

Swinging as a kind of adult dating is widely spread in many European countries and the USA. Much less swinging has touched more traditional cultures, such as Western European and Asian societies. In Russia swingers appeared a few years ago; swinger clubs there can be found only in the capital and one or two largest cities. For some reason UK most of all has been affected by swinging or the lifestyle. Each UK county has a number of swinging clubs; a couple can easily become a member of a UK swinging club for a moderate fee.

It’s interesting how mass media portrays a typical swinger. From all that have been said about swingers so far it seems that they are regular, normal people, most of them are married or in long-term relationships and family-oriented, most of them are conservative rather than liberal. The only difference is just that in their spare time they have mutual or consensual sex with other adults.

Another intriguing point is emotional and ethical sides of swinging. What are the common rules for people’s behavior at swinging events? How do they deal with jealousy? It may look strange how couples with a long history of relationship can overcome jealousy. There are contradictory opinions on this point. As swinging appears to be half a social and half a sexual activity both partners are supposed to be sensitive to each others emotional needs and take them seriously. Some experienced members of one UK swinger club mention such secrets to dealing with jealousy as good communication, keeping agreements, commitment before and after playing with someone new, and addressing each other's emotional concerns. The risk of jealousy may be avoided if both members decide to only swing together as a couple, at least initially.

Obviously, swinging takes form of a certain social activity. Sally, an experienced swinger and member of several swinger sites, shares her experience “Every swinger club has its own rules that regulate in a way people’s behavior at swinging parties. A newbie may expect to become a participant of an orgy with open alcohol drinking and drug use. In reality, some clubs do not allow alcohol at all or only in some certain parts of a house, for instance, upstairs. Getting drunk is never acceptable.”

Swinging occupies a prominent position in the adult dating industry. Actually it seems to be a branch number one today and can compete only with dogging. Sites where people are looking for swingers for no string adult fun significantly outnumbers regular dating sites designed to help people find love and romantic relationship. Other terms closely associated with swinging are “dogging” and “voyeurism”. Dogging seems to be the closest term that may refer to swapping a sexual partner with a stranger somewhere in a semi-public place.

However the bunch of adult dating sites in the Internet does not guarantee that one will easily find a couple for swinging. Swingers are usually cautious when looking for partners because of the fear to be ostracized if their community members become aware of their sexual habits. Search of a couple for swinging may take a considerable amount of time. That’s why most of swingers prefer swinger sites allowing free mail box, forum and chat. Long message and chat history help swinging couple to learn as many details about their potential sex partners as they need before deciding to meet them in real life. But even an off-line meeting does not mean that the couples will want to engage into sexual relationship.

From all mentioned above it’s obvious that swinging today is a much more civilized form of recreational sex than those practiced by our ancient ancestors. It’s a sexual and a social activity at the same time. Though the majority of people even in the UK consider swinging as something wrong or weird, swinger sites accept more and more new members every day. As for the future it seems that the number of sex-positive people engaged into swinging will significantly grow and adult dating sites popularity will be increasing.

How to Attract Women: The Top Ten Ways To Tell If She's Into You (And the 6 Signs That She's Not!)


No one can deny that body language plays a crucial role in catching girls’ attention–and keeping it.
Nearly *75%* of signals women send is through body language--so you're not going to find out if she's into you from words alone! Unfortunately, many men miss out on these signals, and thus miss out on the girl. The good news is, if you CAN read a girl's signals, you stand out from the rest of guys, and make yourself all the more attractive! With that said, here are 6 signs that she's not into you, and 10 signs that she is!

BAD BODY LANGUAGE 1. Not making eye contact with you—looking around, eyeing her friends, looking anywhere but at you 2. Legs crossed—always a bad sign. This means she’s closing herself off to you 3. Arms crossed—This can convey annoyance and impatience. Definitely a bad sign. 4. Hands on her hips—This can also convey impatience. Not looking good. 5. Leaning backwards—It’s much better when a woman is leaning towards you. If you notice her leaning away from you, keeping her distance, it means you’ve gotten too close for her comfort and she’s not that into you, at least at this point. 6. A weak handshake—Do you shake a girl’s hands when you meet her? If you do and notice that hers is weak and she is quick to take back her hand, then she’s not very impressed.

GOOD BODY LANGUAGE 1. She looks down when you see her and smiles–A very good sign. She’s shy but wants you to come over to talk to her. 2. She’s twirling her hair around–Definitely into you. 3. Licks her lips–unless you can tell she’s screwing with you, this is a very good sign! 4. Open legs–Open legs, open mind. She’s open to hearing more from you–and who knows what else. 5. Sideways glance–The classic Hollywood flirtation, this is a coy, seductive way of showing her interest 6. Fondling a cylindrical object (cigarette, glass, etc.)–VERY good sign! And a hint of what she may have in mind for later on in the evening… 7. Fondling her shoe (shoe is slight off her foot, twisting her foot in circles)–This is that classic shy signal that girls use to display interest. 8. The "leg twine"–one leg pressed hard against the other to give the appearance of high muscle tone–very good sign 9. The head toss–If she tosses her hair back over her shoulders, this is definitely a good gesture. 10. Exposed wrists–If she’s interested in you, she will gradually display the smooth, soft skin of her wrists to a guy she’s interested in. Wrists are actually considered one of the more erotic areas of the body–so if she’s showing you this sexual area–go for it!

Hope these tips help you out. Remember, none of this will do you any good if you don't follow up on it! If a girl is showing interest, it's up to you to take the next step and show your attraction BACK to her. Tune in to my next article on what YOU as a man must do to successfully attract female attention, using flirtatious body language. Because it's your turn!
