The Zen of Forgiveness

By Brent Hooks | Published: January 23, 2012

 The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong -Mahatma Gandhi

Enlightenment for Life

There are many ways to simplify life and decrease stress. I am an avid believer in being strong in mind and body.

Along with a healthy body, a healthy mind is essential to living a peaceful and healthy life. Though they both have similarities, growing strong physically is unparalleled by the power a strong mind brings. The benefits you reap from wisdom are boundless. Wisdom is truly the muscle needed for freedom.

The enlightenment you receive from learning about the Zen of forgiveness is anthrax to perilous times. Read More »

Can We Really Trust Our Lovers? How to Tell When They Are Lying—Without Reading Their Minds

By Nate Ollie | Published: January 17, 2012

Are you constantly being lied to? Let's see . . .

Have suspicions about your lover? 

Think he’s lying about where he was, who he was with, or what he was doing?

Anyone who has ever been in a romantic relationship will tell you without hesitation that trust is one of the most important aspects of such a bond.  Without trust, communication is flawed.  Without communication, the relationship doesn’t stand a chance.  It’s that simple.

But how can you tell when your lover is lying?

Knowing this can save someone a ton of heartbreak.  When it comes to emotional pain, not much compares to that which results from being lied to (except for death). 

The best way to discover if your lover is lying is to look into her eyes.  According to renown body language experts Kevin Hogan and Mary Lee Labay, the eyes are the number 1 indicator of truth and deception.

How to Strike Up a Conversation With Angelina Jolie Without Wetting Your Pants

By Nate Ollie | Published: January 12, 2012

How bout it?

Imagine this:  You and a couple of your boys are at the bar trying your best to look cool.  You spot a young, hot brunette at 3 o’clock with her girlfriends, drinking, laughing, having a good time.  She glances at you, and for a nanosecond, you make eye contact . . .

What to do now?

As you read every word of this post, you will discover exactly what to do, and the best part is that you already have what it takes to do it . . . believe it or not.

So many guys out there have perennial migraines over how to approach women and spark up a conversation that will actually progress.  I’m here to tell you that you are not alone and that it honestly isn’t your fault.

With so much importance placed on technology these days, face-to-face communication has become somewhat a lost art . . . and even the thought of having to TALK to a female that you’ve never met may scare the living shit out of you.

The fact is that it is not difficult at all to strike up an interesting conversation with women–no matter the woman, no matter the surroundings.  All it takes is 3 small steps:

How to Keep the Flames of Love Burning Bright

By Brent Hooks | Published: January 10, 2012

The Problem

Ignite the flames and keep them lit

Recently Kris, a dear friend of mine, came to me with a complaint. He said his relationship doesn’t have the spark that it once had.

I told him, “Drift back in time when first started dating your girlfriend. How did you guys start dating? What made both of you interested in each other. Find that and the spark is sure to come back.”

Since it was a beautiful day outside, he decided to go sit at a local park in midtown.

Kris had thought about how he had become bogged down with grad school and work and how he didn’t do those same spontaneous things he did when they first started dating.

The Shocking Truth about What Men Want Vs. What Women Want

By Nate Ollie | Published: January 7, 2012

Do all women have Samantha Jones' sex drive?

Last week, I had lunch with a long-time lady friend of mine.  As we ate, we caught up on what’s been going on with ourselves and others close to us lately (she always makes it a point to keep me updated with the latest gossip about mutual friends). 

One conversation led to the next, and an hour into our rendezvous, I found myself in a very eye opening discussion.  I was sitting on the edge of my seat, elbows on the table, at full attention to what was being said.

We began to talk about what women want versus what men what in the opposite sex.

What Your Favorite Older Cousin Didn’t Tell You About First Dates

By Brent Hooks | Published: January 5, 2012

 

Who wants a Second Date?

The old adage “The first impression is a lasting one”, is true in almost all cases including first dates.

We all have been on that first date with a new acquaintance where we wanted to leave after THE FIRST TEN MINUTES, and the next hour and a half wasn’t any better.  You know the date where, while you were there you were thinking of 101 places you would rather be!

FACT!  It can be very frustrating to sit bored with someone you barely know. Chances are if you’re not interested then your date probably isn’t very entertained either.

So you’re sitting in Ruth’s Chris Steak House with your new friend.  You’re wearing your fliest attire and your most charming cologne fills the air. You pictured her impressed and excited, but instead she is constantly checking her phone for new tweets on her timeline. Meanwhile, a couple of coughs and smiles break the progressive awkward silence.  Little by little you are losing your chances for a second date.  Read More »

How to Compliment a Woman So That She Blushes Every Time She Sees You

By Nate Ollie | Published: January 4, 2012

Have her blushing blissfully at the thought of you

Think back to the last time you complimented a woman . . .

Now ask yourself if it worked . . .

As you may or may not know, a compliment can change a woman’s mood, and even her entire perception of you.

When done wrong, that mood or perception will be negative.  But when done right, a good compliment works wonders.

There is no doubt that everyone enjoys a flattering compliment.  But there is a thin line between a compliment and an insult.  A lot depends on how the receiver interprets it.

You would be surprised to find out the percentage of men who do not know how to successful compliment women.  By the time you finish reading this post, that statistic won’t apply to you.

That said, the secret sauce is in the message.  The best compliments (the ones that work) are those that are personal and sincere.
