Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus!

There's no doubt about it. Men and women are wired differently. Men know this, yet they continue to use the same, ineffective tactics to try to get women. What's even more stunning is that they are surprised when those tactics don't work. So, just what are those differences and how do they effect the way that men and women communicate? The answers may surprise you.

American ethicist, psychologist and feminist, Carol Gilligan, details some of the more striking differences between the sexes in her book "In a Different Voice." In one section she discusses how males and females approach a problem and make decisions. Generally, males make their decisions based on the ethics of justice while females use the ethics of care. This goes back to the beliefs that men are more logical and women are more emotional, but takes it a step further. This is very important when communicating with a woman. While men are more results oriented and prefer a more straightforward approach with the easiest route to the end, women operate in a different manner. Women tend to communicate in a manner that is conducive and focused on building and salvaging relationships.

Now, when you are trying to determine just how this information will help you communicate better with women, consider this: If you talk to a woman in her language, on her level, don't you think that you will get better results than you would if you just forged ahead doing your own thing? Of course you would!

Women are also more inclined to talk things out than a man would. Women want to resolve conflicts, or perceived conflicts, by discussing various aspects of the situation. They want to rehash the topic over and over until it has been worked over and wrung dry of useful information. Men, on the other hand, tend to clam up, preferring to refrain from discussing the issue, or "saying their piece" and then moving on. This can cause problems between men and women because the man shuts down and the woman feels neglected.

The smart man will take the time to listen to the woman in his life. He should not only listen, but respond to what she says. Ask questions, insert comments and create some open dialogue. This will not only fulfill the woman's need to communicate, but it will also get issues out in the open and on the table so that they can be dealt with and faced. This could work to your advantage, particularly if you are in a relationship that you value.

Men and women are different, for sure. But if you are watchful and pay attention to the clues that the women around you are dropping, you can learn how to communicate effectively with them. Just try to mimic them, discretely of course, but emulate their body posture, look them in the eye and pay attention to little cues that she will give. Ask questions, talk with her and show that you care. When you meet her on her level with her communication style, you will have her attention - and possibly even her devotion.

Men's Health Supplements

Men have health needs that are very different from women?s. To maintain a strong and healthy body, nothing is better than a healthy and balanced diet, regular exercise and, of course, a clean and healthy lifestyle. However, there are many essential vitamins and minerals that are lacking in the average man?s diet. An excellent way to get all the nutrients a man needs is by taking health supplements. There are many types of health supplements specially designed for men and readily available on the market. These health supplements help address various health and well-being issues experienced by men.

Men?s health supplements come in a wide variety and offer a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals. A basic health supplement for men should contain vitamin A, zinc and vitamin B6. Vitamin A has antioxidant properties that fight free radicals and help prevent cancer. It also strengthens the immune system and helps keep the skin clean and clear. A good health supplement must contain essential fatty acids and an amino acid complex for overall health. For older men, pantothenic acid, niacin and zinc are important nutrients to maintain a healthy body and an alert mind.

Pantothenic acid is an important nutrient necessary for the proper functioning of the adrenal gland. Zinc is an important element in maintaining prostate function and testosterone production. It also helps in sperm development. Niacin helps in keeping a healthy blood cholesterol level. Ginseng is one of the most popular ingredients in men?s health supplements and is used to maintain good masculine functions.

Many health supplements claim to help relieve stress and strengthen the body?s defense system. Vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, copper, beta-carotene, calcium and other non-essential amino acids are some of the most common components of men?s health supplements. Taking men?s health supplements will strengthen the pillars of good health, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Marriage Help Just For Men

During my live practice as a mediator, I focused on bringing marriages back together instead of helping people get a divorce. Approximately 50% of the calls I received were from men. Interestingly, men seemed to be more desperate, and at the same time resigned to the reality that their marriage may end. There were two major groups of men who called. One group of men had cheated on their wives and their wives had found out. The other group of men discovered their wives were having an affair. There was also a smaller group of men who had just realized their marriage was falling apart because their wife told them they were going to get a lawyer and file for a divorce.

The situations where a wife was having an affair were very difficult. I only saw couples who both wanted the relationship back. Because a woman comes from the heart when she has an affair, it is often too late for her to give her man a second chance. When small children are involved I sometimes reached the extra mile, sometimes successfully.

Men who think we can understand the mind of a woman are deluding themselves. I am not trying to be funny, just a practical. But men, you don't need to understand them in order to love them and express your love and appreciation. It might be said the needs of a woman are simple and communicating those responses that a woman needs is also a simple. But men forget how they behaved when they courted. They forget to treasure the greatest gift in their lives. They forget to express love and appreciation continually. They forget to remember how sweet their life is when they treat their woman the only way that works. Always remember to tell your wife, "I love you."

Skin Care For Men - Why is it Important?

The skin of man and women are different. There are three factors: the thickness, the firmness and secretion of sebum. A man's skin has more grease than the skin of the women and one of its main problems is the shine. For this reason a man's skin will need specifics products.

Because of the characteristics of the men skin it needs special hygienic norms. This is because men's skin is 24% thicker than a women's skin. Also, the quantity of grease secreted by the skin in men is higher because of the hormones. That's why it has more imperfections and shine, especially in the T zone. However, the cheeks and neck, because of the shaving, is more susceptible to the dryness.

Skin care for men is very important, because there are some factors that affects the skin of men such as the age, the stress, the exhaustion, the pollution, the unbalanced diet, the health problems, lack of exercises, smoke and alcohol. All these factors affect the skin of women too but the effects are different in the skin of men. Products for the skin care of men permit to have a healthy skin and a good appearance.

The cosmetic habits that men should follow in order to a good skin care are:

- A correct facial cleaning with specifics products for the face
- The use of shaving creams to avoid the dryness
- The use of products with UV protection before, during and after of the exposition to the sun
- To take a shower with specifics products and use deodorants after the shower

The beauty products for men are split up into several parts: facial cleaning, shaving stuff, personal hygiene and sun protection products. Men need to be more concerned about skin care.

Why Men Dump Women - In Long Distance Relationships

Why Do Men Dump Women? Ladies, It's Not What You Think

Why do men dump women? Whether it's in long distance relationships, or any relationship, most times it's infidelity that causes men to leave. It's the bedroom and the sex life that will eventually make men leave.

Is It Your Nagging? Don't Think So

Too many women don't see that. They'll claim that they think they were too nagging to their man. That their man would get upset over too much prodding. Don't believe that ladies, your man would not go because of that.

If you were the best thing that ever happened to him in the bedroom, you could pour molten lava over him while he was sleeping and he would never think of leaving you. Face it - men need that. Men crave that.

Is It The Fear Of Commitment?

There are those women who think men dump women because of the fear of commitment. Well for some men this may be true. In long distance relationships without any physical contact, men may use that as an excuse. That's because men need attention. So give it to him over the phone. Just give it to him.

But in local relationships if a man says that commitment is the issue, believe me, that's just not true. A man wants one woman to satisfy his every need. If you can do that, he's yours forever. Again, give him what he wants and needs. If you do that, he'll worship you.

Is It That You Appear Needy?

Another myth is that men leave because women are too needy. Again ladies, a man doesn't worry if you're needy or not. A woman who needs her man is an ego boost to your man. He loves to know that she's my woman and she needs me. Again: think bedroom. Keep him happy there.

Look - if your man just dumped you or is acting as if he is just not into you, you can do something about it. You don't have to lose him. He really does want you too. Otherwise he wouldn't be with you. But you have to show him that you can give him what he wants and needs.

Depression in Men

There is a long standing social behavior in men’s society of “men don’t cry” attitude that has been passed down from generation to generation. However, this stigma has lessened in recent years. Mostly because there is no difference in the effect depression or other mental illnesses have on men compared to any other demographic. I hope you enjoy!

Although men are less likely to suffer from depression than women, 6 million men in the United States are affected by the illness. Men are less likely to admit to depression, and doctors are less likely to suspect it. The rate of suicide in men is four times that of women, though more women attempt it. In fact, after age 70, the rate of men's suicide rises, reaching a peak after age 85.
Depression can also affect the physical health in men differently from women. A new study shows that, although depression is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease in both men and women, only men suffer a high death rate.

Men's depression is often masked by alcohol or drugs, or by the socially acceptable habit of working excessively long hours. Depression typically shows up in men not as feeling hopeless and helpless, but as being irritable, angry, and discouraged; hence, depression may be difficult to recognize as such in men. Even if a man realizes that he is depressed, he may be less willing than a woman to seek help. Encouragement and support from concerned family members can make a difference. In the workplace, employee assistance professionals or worksite mental health programs can be of assistance in helping men understand and accept depression as a real illness that needs treatment.

Until the next time,
