Here's Why You Are Attracted To Bad Boys

Bad boys and rebels can have a certain allure, especially to a woman who usually plays it safe. It may not be in your nature to be wild or rebellious, but by choosing a mate who has those characteristics you may be trying to fulfill a secret desire to be a little bad yourself.

When I refer to a guy as a bad boy I don’t mean a criminal or abuser. I am referring to a guy who doesn't conform to society’s standards of the ideal guy. He may be someone who has made mistakes in the past or has a reputation of being a player or a jerk. He generally does what he wants and doesn’t care what others think.

Here’s Why You’re Attracted To Bad Boys

Feels Dangerous

A bad boy has that label for a reason, and being with someone who is edgy can make you feel like a bad girl, but in a good way.

Women who are badasses don’t go for “bad boys” because they don’t necessarily view them as such. But women who tend to be passive, but secretly want to be more assertive, will feel drawn to the bad boy.

It’s Exciting

A bad boy will force a good girl out of her comfort zone. He will have seen and done, and be willing to do things she can’t even imagine. He is so different from you and different from the guys you’re used to dealing with.

Being with a bad boy can feel exciting because you never know what to expect with him. He’s unpredictable.

Feels Out Of Control

You’re used to being in control. Always the perfect daughter and the perfect student. You never allowed yourself to be wild and carefree. You always do just what’s expected of you. But being with the bad boy changed all that.

The bad boy is willing to take the lead, and push the boundaries with you.

Rebellious

You have always been a good girl, doing what everyone expected you to do. So you pick a bad boy as a passive-aggressive rebellion. Your friends and family won’t approve, but deep down that’s the point. To push back and show them that you can make your own decisions.

He’s A Challenge

Whether in a relationship with a good boy or a bad boy, you still have emotional needs you want met. A bad boy may resist traditional relationship practices or be reluctant to commit, so you being able to reform, or think you have reformed, a bad boy would be a huge ego boost.

Not all bad boys are deserving of the label, and I do believe that people can change. But I also believe that you should be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.

You may get the bad boy, thinking you reformed him, but he is still there just wearing camouflage. And then you will get burned by the bad boy.

What are your thoughts on bad boys? Have you ever had a thing for bad boys? How did it work out? Please share your thoughts and experience!

“Every good girl loved a bad boy. It was a fact of life, a quirk of nature. Opposites attract, and the badder the boy, the more attractive he was to that good girl who couldn’t help but be drawn to him.” - Unknown

10 Signs Your Marriage Is Headed For Divorce

Marriages go through ups and downs and good times and bad times. The trouble starts when your marriage seems to be full of never-ending downs and bad times.

The reality is that not all marriages work out, and in fact nearly fifty percent of marriages end in divorce or separation. Although divorce talk is no one’s favorite topic, if your marriage is heading in that direction it is important to recognize the signs to try to address them, or know the signs in order to prepare yourself.

10 Signs Your Marriage Is Headed For Divorce

You’ve Become Secretive About Your Marriage

You used to be relatively open about everything in your life with your family and good friends, including discussing your relationships and your marriage.

But now you avoid discussing your partner and your marriage because you are afraid they will pick up on your problems and you don’t want anyone to know that your marriage is falling apart.

You’re Self-Conscience About How Your Marriage Looks To Others

You used to never think anything of it if your spouse opted out of going to an event with you or if they worked late or hung out with their friends. Now you get clingy and try to tag along or make-up lies as to why they are unavailable to attend an event with you.

You feel less secure in your relationship and worry that everyone can tell that things are not good.

You Can’t Agree On Anything

You fight about money, you fight about chores, you fight about the kids, and sometimes you even fight about what to have for dinner. Everything is a battle because an unhappy person is hard to please.

Chances are if one of you is unhappy in the relationship, then you both are unhappy.

Poor Communication/Stonewalling

Talking out your issues seems to be an impossible task because one or both of your are not one hundred percent committed to fixing the relationship. You don’t want to talk to one another or one of you completely shuts down all forms of communication, basically ignoring your partner.

You’re Not Physically Attracted To Them

I think most of us want to feel physically attracted to our partners. If one partner stops taking pride in self-care and their appearance, their partner will likely be turned off and less attracted to them, and the physical relationship will suffer.

Men are more visual creatures, so the man will want to feel sexually attracted to his wife, and women also want to be attracted to their husbands as well.

You Avoid Spending Time Together

Suddenly the gym or your laptop is yours or your partner’s new best friend. Anything to avoid engaging with each other. Spending extra hours at the gym can be avoiding home life, relieving stress, and getting that new body as you prepare to become single again.

Working long hours at the office or home is to avoid having to interact with your partner, and to avoid dealing with your issues.

You Don’t Like Your Partner

It may happen slowly over time, but sometimes love can turn to intense dislike. They say familiarity breeds contempt, which may be true to some degree, but with time, you either grow to love your partner more, or you realize you are not a good fit and do not want to be with them anymore.

Sometimes you just don’t like them as a person anymore and may resent them because you feel trapped in the relationship.

You Don’t Love Your Partner

As you realize you don’t like your partner, you may also realize you don’t love them anymore, at least not in a romantic way. You look at them sometimes and feel nothing. Your marriage can survive a lack of love, but it will not be a very happy union.

There’s Someone Else

I think it goes without saying that if you or your partner are in love with someone else your marriage is in trouble. Whether the extra-marital relationship is physical, or emotional, one of you is the third wheel in your relationship and the marriage is headed for a divorce.

You Want Out

If one of you longer wants to be in the relationship you are definitely headed for a divorce. You or your partner are mentally and emotionally done with the relationship. One or both of you wants out of the relationship but feels trapped or is plotting an escape.

I think anyone in a marriage owes it to themself and their partner to try to make it work, but I also think you owe it to yourself to recognize and accept when it can’t work. There’s not a lot of options with a marriage in trouble. You either get counseling to try to work out your issues or you start preparing yourself to move on.

What are your thoughts on the signs of heading for a divorce? Do you agree with my signs? If you are divorced or heading that direction, what signs did you see? Please share!

"I do not believe that there were more happy marriages before divorce became socially acceptable, that people tried harder, got through their rough times, and were better off. I believe that more people suffered.” -Ann Patchett

Why Smart, Successful Women Are With Losers

Not all smart, successful women are dating or married to losers of course, but the ones that are really stand out. We all have these amazing girlfriends who currently have or had men in their lives that made us cringe. Or worse, we were the one with the guy who made our friends ask, “What is she thinking?”.

Love can make us blind, but it can also make us very determined to make a relationship that’s not worth it, work. Successful women are used to getting it done and making it work, no matter the cost at times.

To be clear, my definition of loser has nothing to do with his looks, his bank account, or his education level. He is a loser if he is untrustworthy, he’s lazy, he’s a user, he’s selfish, and he’s rude and disrespectful.

Here’s Why Smart Women Are In Toxic Relationships

Enjoys A Challenge

Smart women like to solve problems and fix issues. Sometimes that includes fixing men. A man who lacks direction and ambition can present a project and challenge for a successful woman. She likes the idea of proving others wrong about him but also being able to “mold” him into the man she wants.

Over-Rationalizes

Smart women are thinkers and analyzers. A smart woman tends to look for the “why” behind the behaviors. She quickly turns into his therapist or surrogate mother, instead of being the partner she is supposed to be.

She will tell herself that he grew up in a broken home or doesn’t know what a healthy relationship looks like, so she tolerates unacceptable behavior and treatment, all the while making excuses for him.

Over-Confident

A successful woman is used to succeeding and achieving her goals. Once she has set her sights on a man, no matter how bad he is for her, she will be determined to make the relationship work, sometimes even to her own detriment.

Stubborn

Successful women can be very stubborn and determined. She just knows that he has potential and if she can help him see that, everything would work out. This may especially be the case if others have expressed doubt choosing him or about things working out.

She Is Settling

Some would say that success comes at a price. Years spent focusing on schooling and career don’t necessarily leave much time for a love life.

The successful woman may feel the pressure to have it all. The job, the man, and the family. So she settles because “the clock” is ticking, and everyone else her age is already settling down and starting a family.

Love is a beautiful thing, but it cannot change the fundamentals of who a person truly is. People can change, but they have to want to. There are good men, there are bad guys, and there are choices in life.

What are your thoughts on smart, successful women ending up with losers? Are you one of these women? If so, why did you end up with a loser? Please share!

“This is what I know. Don't settle for 40, 50, or even 80 percent. A relationship-it shouldn't be too small or too tight or even a little scratchy. It shouldn't take up space in your closet out of guilty conscience or convenience or a moment of desire. Do you hear me? It should be perfect for you. It should be lasting. Wait. wait for 100 percent.” ― Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

Is Meeting The Right One Coincidence Or Fate?

Are you a believer in fate? Do you think that some things are just meant to happen no matter what we do? Or do you believe that life is a series of chances and choices and that anything can happen?

When it comes to love, I like the idea of both fate and coincidence bringing two people together who should be together. Love is wonderful, and finding the right one by coincidence is awesome, but finding the one via fate is amazing.

Both fate and coincidence are beyond our control. They just happen. Fate is what’s meant to be, no matter what you do, and coincidence is a matter of right place, right time. Is the love of your life fate or coincidence?

Fate

What is fate? Fate, also known as destiny, is the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. A relationship that is fated to happen is meant to be.

Now, just because a relationship with a certain person is meant to be doesn’t mean that the relationship is guaranteed to give you a happily ever after.

The relationship or relationships that are your destiny may be such because there is an experience you need to have or a lesson you need to learn, which could be good or bad.

Signs Your Relationship Is Fate

• You Keep Crossing Each Others Path

• You Share Similar Experiences, Both Past and Present

• Feels Like Kindred Spirit

• Invisible Forces Pulling You To Each Other

Coincidence

What is a coincidence? A coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

When I refer to a relationship as being coincidence I just mean that it is not about some cosmic force bringing two lovers together, but about two people who find each other attractive in a chance meeting by being at the right place at the right time.

Signs Your Relationship Is Coincidence

• Grew Up In or Live-In Same City or Town

• Mutual Friends or Coworkers

• Dating App or Matchmaker

I know that fate and coincidence sound similar, but know that fate has been at work when you find out that you both went to the same college years before, or lived in the same city somewhere else and never met. Or were at the same party but never crossed paths. It was fate at work but the timing was off.

Personally, I can look back on relationships and easily identify the coincidence relationships versus fate relationships. I was once at a crossroads and had a decision to make about where I would move for my career. One path seemed very simple, more familiar, and almost easy. The other path was the unknown, it was scary, and it would be harder.

I sought the counsel of an older friend and mentor and she said to take the path of the unknown. She said that is where your destiny is, and you already know where the other path leads. I know it sounds kooky, but I followed her advice and she was absolutely right. That decision led me to where I am today. It let me to where I was always meant to be.

What are your thoughts on fate versus coincidence? Do you believe you are fated to be with one particular person? Do you think coincidental relationships are equally as important and special? Please share your thoughts and experience!

“Fate is the promise that life is not a random string of tragedy and comedy without meaning. Fate proclaims that our lives are in fact so meaningful, so necessary, that our stories are written by the gods and goddesses, by the heavens themselves. We may only glimpse our fate, hinted by the stars or the creases of our hands; but even this glimpse is evidence of our contract with the universe, that we are players in the great wheel of life and death and rebirth.” - Sy Montgomery, Spell of the Tiger

The Pros & Cons of Dating a Foreigner - Guest Post

While online dating is quite popular for searching your prospective match among the locals, the most suggestive part of it is the fact that you can find a partner from any part of the world. Some dream of finding a sweet girlfriend from Japan, while others dream of marrying a Ukrainian woman. But where the idea of multicultural bonds is coming from? Does it originate from the mere possibility to date a foreigner?

There is a belief that multicultural bonds are stronger. According to certain researches, interracial and multicultural couples are 59% more likely to stay together than their counterparts that belong to one culture and one race. So, is the multicultural or interracial bond is the best option for you? In many respects – yes. Does that mean that this type of relationship doesn't have any disadvantages? Unfortunately, no. Like everything in this world, multicultural bonds have their pros and cons. If you consider dating a foreigner, we offer you to check out our list of pros and cons of such relationships.

Pros

Broadening Your Outlook

When you communicate with your foreign partner you get to understand a lot of things about a different culture. You will see that people of different cultures have as much in common as that which divides them. You will learn all the peculiarities of your partner's culture, and you can give them the knowledge about your culture. Exchanging knowledge will help you to broaden your outlook. While you can say that you can get the same from watching films and reading books, having a real-life example is way more interesting.

You Won't Be Having Boring Conversations

Thanks to the fact that you have a lot of cultural differences that you are quite unlikely that you are going to have boring conversations. You will figure out which traditions you have in common, and which traditions are absolutely different. You will discuss the origins of your cultural peculiarities.

You Will Have an Exciting Romance

The relationship with people of your culture can sometimes be unpredictable, which gives the required level of thrill to keep your relationship exciting. But a relationship with a foreigner is way more exciting thanks to its unpredictability.

Cons

Language Barrier

Generally, only one of you knows the language of the other. But even if you both know each other's language, you will end up experiencing certain problems with understanding each other. There are certain things that only a native speaker can understand, thus there are going to be certain phrases that can be misinterpreted. So, you need to be ready to explain even some common phrases to your partner and be ready to listen to their explanation of something that may seem offensive to you.

Mentality Difference

Speaking about all the cultural peculiarities, you need to understand that a different culture almost always means a different mentality. Depending on the country of origin your foreign partner may be extremely calm or short-tempered. While sometimes it is hard to take, you need to understand that the fact that your partner may spiral pretty easily because of his culture.

Respect is the Key

Respecting each other is the key to a successful multicultural relationship. Probably the reason why multicultural bonds last longer lies in the fact that partners are working hard on their relationship, coming a long way to respect each other's cultural peculiarities and differences.

How To Determine Relationship Compatibility

Finding the right mate, or the “one” can feel like a daunting task to say the least. If you have been in the dating scene for a while, or have had several or many relationships over the years, you may be wondering why the relationships don’t work out.

As the old saying goes, “you will have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince”. While I do agree with the overall concept that you may need to meet a lot of different men to find the right one, I don’t think you will necessary need to date, kiss, or sleep with them all to find out if they are the right one, unless of course you want to.

Compatibility can be determined pretty early on and good conversation will usually help you figure it out.

How To Determine Compatibility

Featured Video

Ask Questions

There are many questions you need answers to if you really want to determine compatibility. All questions do not need to be asked and answered on a first date, but over time you definitely need to peel back the onion and find out where they stand on some really big issues, but also some smaller issues as well.

You will want to know about their thoughts on marriage and family. Do they expect their spouse to work or stay home. Do they want kids? How many and how far into the relationship? Where do they ultimately want to live and retire? And the big one is their relationship with money. Are they a spender or a saver? And of course what role will religion play in your lives and the lives of your children.

Do Things Together

Ideally you meet your mate while participating in an activity you are both very interested in, but if you don’t you will want to find common interests. If you love to read, it may not be a requirement but it is nice to have a partner who also enjoys reading and discussing books they have read.

If you are a very intellectual, critical thinker, you will not be compatible with someone you might describe as not very smart, and you definitely won’t be able to respect them.

If you are into fitness or the outdoors, you will want to try out these activities together. While you do not have to work out together, being able to enjoy activities together that interest you both will keep you bonded.

Meet Family and Friends

People from similar backgrounds tend to be more compatible. Of course, different upbringings doesn’t necessarily need to be a deal breaker, but it does make relatability and the understanding of points of view more challenging. Similar upbringings also plays a big role in how you view marriage, family, and especially how to raise children.

It is important to be open minded but also realistic in choosing a partner from a different background.

Kiss/Sleep Together

Physical attraction and sexual compatibility are extremely important to a relationship. I am not encouraging anyone to sleep around, and I understand that for some this is a moral issue, but ask yourself how many things do you purchase without sampling? If you knew you couldn’t return something would you still buy it?

Well, I look at selecting a partner the same way. Sexual compatibility is very important. For long term happiness and fulfillment you want to have an enjoyable sex life, and if you didn’t know what you were getting into, you were taking a gamble that may or may not pay off.

In all honesty, you can force and make just about any relationship work if you are determined to. But if you want to be happy and fulfilled for the long run you will want to be with someone you are truly compatible with.

We are who we are, and while we change some over the years, we also stay very much the same, so hoping someone will change and become more of who you want them to be is wishful thinking. It is better to choose someone you are compatible with, than to try to change someone to fit your mental, emotional, and sexual needs.

What are your thoughts on compatibility? How important do you think it is to relationship longevity and happiness? Please share your thoughts and experience!

“Research shows that couples who have a lot of similarities, including intellectual compatibility, end up staying together.” - Helen Fisher

Why He Wants To Be Dominated By You

Domination is about control, and when you allow yourself to be dominated you give up some of your control. Even the control freak likes to occasionally be the passenger and not the driver.

Some men like to be dominated, if only for a little while. He wants to be submissive behind closed doors, in the home, or perhaps just in the bedroom, but regardless of the location, he wants you to take over and dominate him.

The strongest, most confident of men often enjoy domination the most, and you may be asking yourself why, but after reading this blog it will make total sense. Here’s why he wants to be dominated.

5 Reasons Why He Wants To Be Dominated By You

Featured Video

Relieves Stress

Domination is not always about sex. Domination is often about mental and emotional releases. The role play, the pain, and even the verbal domination can have an almost soothing and calming affect on a man who wants to be dominated.

Wants To Be Vulnerable

Men do not often feel comfortable being vulnerable. But in a safe setting, and with the right woman he can allow himself to be vulnerable, even if just under the guise of domination.

It Turns Him On

Yes, sometimes domination is a fetish. Some men are masochist and enjoy a mixture of pain and pleasure. The domination can be verbal words of abuse, physical pain, or consist of punishments.

Every couple has to explore and find their comfort level to make their own rules of play.

He’s Powerful

Being the one always in charge is exhausting. While he may be the one in charge in the boardroom or office, he may want you to take charge at home or in the bedroom.

He knows that he is powerful, but giving up some of that control to you in the bedroom, and not knowing what you will do to him excites him.

He Respects You

Most men are not just going to give up his power and control and be vulnerable with just anyone. But with with right woman, a woman he sees as his equal, he can be okay with letting her dominate him. Strong, confident men love strong, confident women.

The role of dominatrix is not for everyone, but just as he enjoys giving up his control for a time, you may also enjoy being in complete control of him occasionally.

Domination and role play is not for every man, at least not every man is willing to admit it. So now that you understand the why, are you game for a little dominating? You and you partner make the rules. And don’t forget your safe word…LOL

Now I want to hear from you. What are your thoughts on dominating him? Please share your thoughts and experience!

8 Signs of Sexual Tension and What To Do About It

Sexual tension exists when two people are physically attracted to one another, want to be physical with each other, but hold back for one reason or another.

Sexual tension is most often found in groups of friends or in the workplace. It can develop out of almost nowhere. One day you are buddies and the next your heart races when you look at each other and you start to see them differently.

You may not be sure if your friend is feeling the pull that you are but when sexual tension exists there will be signs.

8 Signs Of Sexual Tension

Eye Contact

When there is sexual tension between two people there is a lot of direct, intense eye contact. Your eyes will show your desire for each other and the fire you feel inside. Your eyes will betray you.

Butterflies In The Stomach

Sexual tension between you and another will make you feel giddy and give you butterflies in the stomach. You will feel like a teenager again, in the best, most exciting way possible.

Awkward Interactions

Some relationships have sexual tension from the start, while others have it develop over time. When sexual tension exists you can become unsure of how to act in front of each other. You want to hide your desire and play it cool so things start to feel super awkward.

You Get Physically Close

The sexual tension exists because you two are physically attracted to each other and deep down want to sleep together. For one reason or another you two are not moving in that direction yet so you choose the next best thing and that is getting physically close to one another.

Casual Touches

You want to touch each other any time you can. Whether it’s just a touch of the fingers when passing something to the other or a casual hand on the back or arm as a greeting or a goodbye. You cannot do what you really want to them so you will settle for any physical interaction you can get.

You Flirt With Innuendos

When there is sexual tension between two people it will often reflect in their communications with each other. When you are around each other you cannot stop thinking about how much you want them which starts to leak out in conversation, emails, and texts with comments and jokes that seem to be of a more sexual nature.

Others Notice

When there is sexual tension between two people it is usually felt by those around them as well. It is palpable. Others will notice that there is something between you two, and some may even comment. It’s hard to hide an intense attraction for someone for an extended period of time when around others

You Just Know It

You know that you are attracted to them, and that you desire them, and you can feel their desire and attraction to you as well. They are sending you vibes and your gut is telling you everything you need to know.

What To Do About Your Sexual Tension

When dealing with sexual tension between you and another, you really only have three options. The first option is to ignore the sexual tension. You may choose to ignore because you actually like the current status quo. You are not ready to make a decision to move things to the next level, but you are enjoying the sexual tension and feelings it gives you.

The sexual tension and attraction may fizzle out over time on its own, which may mean it was never meant to be.

The second option is to discuss it and get it all out in the open. The conversation may be awkward, but if someone doesn’t make a move and ask the other out and address the sexual “elephant” in the room, then you will remain in a never ending cycle of flirting and giddiness.

Life is too short to remain in limbo, so eventually something should happen one way or another.

The final and best option is consummation. The build up of the sexual tension can mean a powerful sexual encounter, once it actually happens. Of course this will likely involve option two to some degree, but it doesn’t require some long drawn out discussion.

If the moment is right, and opportunity strikes, no words may be necessary. Your eyes and body language will do the talking, and the rest will hopefully be mind blowing.

What are your thoughts on dealing with sexual tension? Do you address it, ignore it, or hope things unfold naturally somehow? Please share your thoughts and experience!
