10 Lies Targeting Young Women


This is another post for the ladies, particularly teenage girls.  I was going to expand on each point, but I think each one says it all.
  1. You're less-than if you don't have a boyfriend
  2. You can't be completely happy without a boyfriend
  3. It's more important to be skinny than to be healthy
  4. Beauty is pain
  5. Appearing in public without makeup is social suicide
  6. You won't be liked unless you dress in a way that puts your body on display
  7. You won't be an influence on the world until you do all the same things that men do
  8. Your boyfriend will like you better if you loose five pounds
  9. You're not worthy of the title "beautiful" unless you look like all those edited, retouched pictures in the magazines
  10. What everyone's saying about you is what defines you.
Always know that these things are absolutely false.  They have no validity.  If you feel like one of them is true, write it down on a piece of paper, and rip it up!

9 Ways to Cope with Boredom without Using a Screen

As we begin 2018, we all have hopes for a successful, productive year.  New projects, promotions, enhanced resumes, and tight agendas are all in our dreams.  Are we planning to waste time on Netflix, social media, and playing video games?  Nope!  But will we?  Probably. Killing time with a screen is very common in 21st century American society.  It is a trap that we all fall into at times, and it is painfully difficult to get out of.  When we find ourselves with nothing to do, there is a whole in us, and we rush to fill it before we feel its full effect(boredom).  We use our phones, TV's, and computers as fillers to keep boredom at bay, and entertainment comes to us, rather than allowing us to come find it.  As I'm sure we all know, this is not a healthy, or even satisfying coping method.  So how can we avoid it? First off, we need something that involves us more.  Human beings are not made to sit and do nothing.  We are meant to do work.  Obviously, there are times when we

What a Girl Wants

This is a post for the gents.  It's been awhile since I've done one of these, so I thought it was about time to revive them. A lot of guys these days are left wondering what a girl really wants in a guy, and what qualities are universally attractive to women.  Well, here it is gents! We want honor and respect. We are done with cat calls and whistles.  Nobody wants deep down to be treated that way.  Although you will see some girls dressed or acting in a way that does not demand much respect, if a guy respects a girl anyway, without making a big show of it, it strikes a chord.  It reminds her that she has more to offer than what society tells her to flaunt.  It challenges her to a higher standard. We want protection. We want security in the knowledge that we are protected.  Even if a woman is single and not looking for a relationship, it is appreciated if a man will walk her to her car, or intervene if she is in danger.  Especially those of us who have been in abusive r
