You want to attract women, so you should listen to women about how to do this. It sounds logical enough, but if you’re really interested in getting the woman you want, you should never listen to what women say about dating. Women only think they know what they want. The really intelligent ones know that they want things other than what they tell you they want, but most of them don’t even realize that their dream man is very different from the perfect boyfriend that every woman says she wants.

Women often tell men to treat the woman they’re interested in with respect and bring her gifts like flowers or fine chocolates. It’s classy, it’s romantic, and it doesn’t work in any dating arena. If you’re looking for women in nightclubs or other social venues, know that these ladies are going to be on-guard for predators. As a matter of course, they’ll put any man who approaches them through a battery of tests. The unsuccessful suitor either fails her tests or passes them at his own expense. The successful suitor, on the other hand, lets his lady know that he’s got enough quality to not need to pass her tests — he’s exempt. This is the answer that women of quality secretly want to hear. As for flowers and chocolates, don’t even consider them until the fourth or fifth date, and even then, find out what her preferences and allergies are before you make that kind of investment.

Another oft-spoken word of advice that women give to men is “Be yourself.” If you’ve been yourself around women and it hasn’t gotten you anywhere, then it’s obvious that this advice doesn’t work. Therefore, do not be yourself. Be better, bolder, and more ambitious than yourself. Become the man you truly want to be. No one, male or female, wants to be cowardly and shy. Change yourself. Do not let your own laziness doom you to a life of loneliness.

Why is it that women give such bad relationship advice to men? A lot of it stems from the fact that women’s brains work differently than men’s brains. It’s a proven scientific fact, but even the most well-intentioned lady doesn’t always appreciate that a man follows a different set of guidelines and conventions than a woman does. Her ideas are flawed because they proceed from the false assumption that she understands what’s going on in a man’s head. She doesn’t. She can’t. She’s never been a man and therefore has never thought like one.

Another reason that women give such bad relationship advice lies in the fact that most women don’t realize what they’re truly attracted to. The women who do know what they truly want in a man will never say what they truly want in a man. That’s because women are truly attracted to a man who is powerful and mysterious, who does the unexpected and maintains a cool composure, who knows who he is and what he wants. What women truly want is the challenge of taking this sort of bad boy and taming him into a gentleman. Like the heroines of Greek mythology, they are looking for a man who has the courage to hold his own against her, and she wants to be pleasantly surprised when she finally loses to him.

Women don’t say these things to a man because it’s the ultimate secret and the ultimate show of weakness. Most of them won’t even talk about it among themselves. How, then, can you expect women to share any real insight into the inner workings of their minds with men?

Creative writers rarely study punctuation, but every sentence they write depends on it. Learn it well.

An imperative sentence is a command or request.

Give me a hug.

A declarative sentence states a fact.

She gave him a hug.

Some declarative sentences contain a question. If the sentence as a whole states the question as a fact, it should end with a period.

A question
Would you like to go to a party?
A declaration
I wonder if you would like to go to a party.

Instead of asking if you would like to go to a party, I have stated that I am wondering if you would like to go. You would use a period to end the sentence.

Abbreviated words end in a period.

Mr., Dr., Rev., etc., i.e., and Mrs. are examples of abbreviated words that have periods. If your declarative or imperative sentence that requires a period ends with an abbreviated word, do not add an additional period.

(Yes)
The movie starts at 8 P.M.
(No)
The movie starts at 8 P.M..

A sentence that is a direct question ends with a question mark. Simple, right? A question mark is also used to show that there is doubt or an unknown in the sentence. When the question mark is used in this way, it is usually placed in parentheses. An unknown date on a tombstone would be presented like this.

(1960 – ?)

There is a known birthday but the date of death is unknown.

Look at this sentence.

In her will, the eccentric woman left her pet cat (?) the entire estate.

The question mark indicates the writer is not sure if the pet is a cat.

If there are a series of incomplete questions within a sentence, a question mark is placed at the end of each.

Can you believe the man survived the gunshot? Or the fall from the six-story building? Or hitting the flagpole?

This is an example of a series of incomplete questions in a sentence. Did you notice the question mark after each question? These do not require parenthesis as they do not pose direct doubt.

The Exclamation Mark

Sometimes called an exclamation point, this handy little punctuation is used to indicate surprise or a strong emotion or feeling.

Get out of my room.
Get out of my room!

Look at the different levels of excitement in those two sentences. The first is a simple command. It states someone wants you to leave the room. The second relates a sense of urgency or possibly anger. An exclamation mark at the end of a sentence changes the emotion.

Exclamation marks are rarely used in formal writing unless it is in a quote or the citing of a title. In informal writing, you can use an exclamation point at the end of a sentence or after particularly exciting information.

If the exclamation mark is used to punctuate exciting information within a sentence, it is placed in parenthesis.

Mike won first place (!) in the spelling bee.

After meeting your bride probably you wonder what she was doing in her twenties or why she is still single. Here are a few short answers to your questions.

Many men are asking how to find a beautiful Russian bride. The moment they open a website they see so many pretty women that suddenly they feel confused and suspicious: are all these dream girls real?

Russians have beauty genes. Almost all of them have fantastic body structures, deep eyes, natural charm and rare intelligence. The good news for you is that all they find foreigners sexy. Different cultures cause a fantastic explosion of emotions, curiosity and amazement.

Lets say that you have passed the period of long selection and have made up your mind who you want to date and make your wife forever. Here are a few advices how to keep her and not scare her with offensive behavior or inappropriate words.

Many Russian women have been working as models, actresses or dancers before their marriage and its industry standard to be exceptionally beautiful. They know the value of their looks but not all of them are trying to take advantage of it in their relationships. Modest by nature, Russians prefer to draw a line between private and public life.

If they have decided not to continue with the acting or dancing, they have reconsidered their priorities and have felt that it is time to settle down and have family. They do not want to talk about their job or professional life because sometimes they feel that you might get jealous and start thinking that it is more important than your affair.

Ladies know that being sexy means being desired by many. At the same time they often feel sick of all rude offers for paid sex they have had before. Local celebrities are not as big as the Hollywood stars but know the pressure of being always in the focus of men’s attention. After a few unsuccessful affairs they have learned how to identify true from fake lovers. You can not imagine how many Russians are so resistant to beauty and only interested in their macho collection of broken hearts.

Your Russian bride will appreciate if you do not push her from the very beginning. Sex is important for a successful marriage but to a woman that can have it any time, anywhere – what really matters are true feelings and emotions.

Another important issue is alcohol. Maybe you believe that all Russians are cool guys just like actors from a James Bond movie. You are wrong and your beautiful bride will tell you why. The truth is that local gentlemen allegedly have traditions for vodka drinking and endless booze. They have learnt this from their fathers and will teach their children.

Nothing can stop this. You know what happens when someone is constantly out of contact because of having too much alcohol: easy going mood is replaced by aggression. Russian women know it to and do not want to suffer it any longer.

Brides know that sobriety is a national problem and prefer not to talk about it. In many families there is at least one alcoholic but not all of them are bad people. Ladies afraid to share things like this because they are afraid that this will disgust their lovers and ruin the marriage.

More translations from Arydex:
Yeah, Soo-young said that she got the impression Yong-hwa didn’t like books, so she said Seo-hyun should “ensnare” him through sports, like bowling or curling, or through their shared love for music. The radio show hosts thought that Soo-young gave good advice: “You should’ve asked your unnies for help.” Seo-hyun replied that she did. The radio show hosts laughed, good-naturedly poking fun at Seo-hyun: “That was you coming prepared?” XD
NOTE: It was after “That was you coming prepared?” comment from the radio show hosts that Hyo-yeon made fun of Soo-yong’s “expertise,” pointing out the irony in that “big unnie Soo-young, who has never dated” is giving love advice (i.e. how to “catch” Yong-hwa) to “magnae Seo-hyun, who’s currently dating.”

Sooyoung shouting “yah!” at Hyo when she said Sooyoung was inexperienced XD

Those who date on a regular basis can attest to the fact that dating can be an expensive endeavor. If you always opt for elegant restaurants and gifts of flowers and candy to offer to your date, chances are your dating budget is beginning to run a little dry. Dating does not have to be expensive though. There are plenty of activities for you and your date to enjoy that are very inexpensive and some that are completely free. You may even find that some of the less expensive activities are a good opportunity to get to know your date better because they are more relaxing and therefore more conducive to honest conversation.

Picnic:

Picnics are great for dates because they can be taken along wherever you plan to go for the day and they cost a fraction of going out for a meal. They also can be made as casual or as romantic as you want. Take a casual picnic meal, add some cheese & wine along with a red rose and the picnic instantly takes on a romantic feel.

Historic Places & Buildings:

It seems the only time people go looking at the historic landmarks near where they live is when visitors come from out of town. Many of these historic or culturally significant spots have no or small entrance fees and make a great place to go on a date. You also get to learn more about the area you live. If you have museums in your area, they can be an excellent place to enjoy an inexpensive date. Admission prices are usually reasonable and often they have discounts for those attending a number of events over the year.

Evening At Home:

Cook up a meal at home and spend the evening watching movies or some other activity such as a board game. The meal most likely will be better than at a restaurant and the evening will cost a fraction of what going out to dinner and a movie would cost. Cook the meal together to spend even more time together, or do it yourself as a special surprise.

Sports:

If you and your date are both athletic, sport activities together can be a great way to spend your time. Play a set of tennis, jog in the park, toss a Frisbee about, play catch with a baseball or football or shoot some baskets. Whichever you choose, you can spend quality time at minimal cost and get some exercise in, too.

Fine dining can be fun, but it doesn’t have to take place in restaurants. Consider cooking at home, either preparing a meal for one’s date, or cooking a meal together. Cooking at home considerably cuts down on cost, and part of the fun can be preparing a dinner together. Choose something adventurous to prepare, plan a meal, and shop. A date like this, even with a fairly decent wine can usually be under 1125 INR. Keep a frozen pizza on hand if dinner becomes a disaster.

Around the holidays, one could also have a cooking date to make holiday cookies or cakes to give to friends. Especially decorating cookies together can be a fun way to pass a few hours in someone else’s company.

If one wants to go on a more traditional date for less, consider looking for coupons to use at a restaurant, like “buy one meal get one free.” As well, one can also attend movies on bargain nights to cut down on cost. If one has limited means, and a date finds this unacceptable, then price conscious dating may help weed out those who have different financial goals. While one does not have to give a financial profile to potential girlfriends or boyfriends, how a person responds to an inexpensive date can help one determine if a relationship has a future.
