5 Ways To Turn A Woman On Without Physical Contact
No, this isn’t about where to kiss her, and different ways to touch her body. We are talking about achieving this without ever laying a finger on her. Non physical attributes play a big role in generating attraction with a woman, and here are 5 that can truly have an impact.
1. Intelligence
For a lot of women, a smart man is a sexy man. Knowledge is power, and it can definitely intrigue a woman. Having the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation can have a very positive effect on a woman.
2. Being Considerate
When you do something considerate, it can make a woman feel special. And that can sometimes materialize into a greater attraction. Being mindful of her feelings and doing small gestures to show her you’re thinking about her can easily win you some points. You’re pouring into her emotionally and that makes her much more receptive to you.
3. Ambition
A man with no aspirations and no drive can be a huge turn off for a woman. Having passion and a purpose can really do it for her. It gives off the energy of a man who is about handling his business, and a woman loves to see that.
4. Assertiveness
Most women (if not all) are not turned on by a man they view as too soft and passive. Knowing how to be assertive and putting your foot down at the right time (in the right way) can cause that woman to melt right before your eyes. That doesn’t mean go out and behave like an a-hole, or treat her like she is beneath you. It just means stand strong, handle your business, and demand respect. If she can’t respect you, then she won’t have a desire for you.
5. Appearance
Even though men tend to be more superficial than women, don’t be fooled. She is paying attention, and she too wants something nice to look at. It doesn’t mean you need to have expensive clothes or flashy jewelry. Simply learning how to present yourself as well put together can do wonders. Know how to rock a suit, and that casual outfit. Don’t forget a nice pair of shoes. A lot of women are looking at your shoes whether you realize it or not.

TIPS ON KEEPING A RELATIONSHIP
Take advantage of new technology; text and send e-cards.
With so many of us pressed for time, why not use technology to “keep in touch”
during the day. A compliment, an affection or a quick “Hello, You are being
thought of” via text can spark anyone’s day. E-cards are fast, and convenient.
There are many sites that allow you to send them for free. You can find any
type of sentiment from cute and funny, to serious and romantic or teasingly
sexy. The bonus is that you can include a personal message along with it if
you’d like.
Hold
hands, hug and give quick kisses often. Nothing is as good for the soul and the emotional health of
a person as the human touch. As teenagers, we hold hands, give quick kisses as
hello and goodbye and cuddle as we sit close. Why not keep that sense of youth
no matter how old we are or how long we have been have together as a couple?
Holding hands keeps a connection and closeness, no matter what we are doing. An
enthusiastic hug uplifts us; a quick kiss says “glad to see you”.
Date often. Make dates and anticipate them with excitement. Dress up
and look your best. Discover a new cologne or perfume. Set the stage as if you
are trying to “impress” the way you did at the beginning of the relationship.
If your budget limits you to a rental movie at home, change it up. Set out
cheese and crackers instead of the usual popcorn. Turn off the lights and let
your fireplace illuminate the room. No fireplace? Candles do just as well. The
point is to set the atmosphere of a date. The desire to look your best, feel
your best and have the best time possible will rejuvenate those feelings of a
first date.
Write old fashioned love letters. There is nothing like the power of the written word. The
idea that a person would sit and attempt to convey their feeling through words
is not only a heart warming gesture, but one that can be renewed over and over
again through each reread. When you need an emotional lift, you can revisit
them and instantly get the emotional recharge. Rereading a partner’s love
letters instantly brings you to the intensity when the relationship was young.
Writing letters throughout the relationship tells your partner those feelings
are still alive and well.
Praise, praise and thank you...and more praise.
Rather than concentrating on what he or she “doesn’t do anymore”, think about
what he/she does. He may not bring you flowers as he did in the beginning of
your courtship, but his consideration in packing your lunch or giving you some
time with the girls is another type of “blossom”. If she doesn’t seem to be as
affectionate as when you first dated, appreciate her watching the game with
you, especially if she is not a sports fan. The saying “seeing your glass full
or half empty” has validity. If we compliment people on what they DO, instead
of harping on what they don’t, we’d be surprised how responsive a person can
be. Being appreciated with a “thank you”, makes most people enthusiastic about
doing more. Complimenting your partner on their qualities of patience or
creativity will easily be a high point in their day. And with enough Thank yous
and compliments, you never know. That bouquet of flowers might just follow.
Learn something new
together
Take dance lessons, take an art class or learn to ice
skate together! Take a day trip to a new place neither of you have ever
visited before. If you look back on your life, you probably connected with
people whom you shared new events or experiences, something you experienced
together for the first time. Those experiences create closeness. Find something
that can be a “first” for the two of you. You might also develop a new interest
the two of you can enjoy!
Make love often and with passion. The beauty of a long term sexual relationship is that the
intimacy builds over the years. That intimacy makes sex much more genuine,
gratifying and fulfilling. It is also an area that is not often put high on the
importance scale. Work, career, school, and kids often exhaust our energy so we
find it hard to “be in the mood." Make the intimate part of your relation
a high priority. Make time for “love sessions." Take time to “make love”
rather than just have sex. Use candles, perfume, or whatever that is that get
your juices flowing. Like all else in life, intimacy dies if it is not
nourished. Feeding it with affection, compliments and time will make it
something that feels less like an obligation at the end of a hard day, but
something to look forward to.
Be a good listener. There still is the time when your
partner will need you to be there, just to listen. You have probably heard the
joke a thousand times and heard the family issue twice that often, so listening
to your partner is not always easy. The extra effort, however, can be
priceless. Remember, often people don’t want their problems solved, just a
shoulder to lean on. Taking away the burden of “fixing it," might make it
easier.
Strengthen your art of conversation. If you find
yourself with “nothing to talk about anymore”, find something to start the
conversation. Fill your partner in on the “funny“ things that happened at work,
the gossip; anything trivial and interesting. Remember, we all need to use our
partners as a “sounding board," but if that is the only conversation that
we are having with our “significant other," even the most sympathetic
listener can have a breaking point. Make “sharing your day” a pleasure event,
not a dreaded evil.
Take care of yourself; mind, body
and spirit. Be passionate about life. There is
truth to the belief that if we nourish the child in us our spirits can stay
young, even when our outer body doesn’t. Stay young in mind and spirit. Take
care of your health, emotional and physical. It is much easier to keep a
relationship young when you exude that aura yourself. Start by keeping yourself
“young at heart."
- Keeping a relationship vibrant for years can be a challenge, but that doesn’t have to be a negative. As with all challenges, once achieved, the success becomes much sweeter, the accomplishment more exhilarating. That kind of energy is certain to give a kick start to anyone’s relationship!
Try to understand the other person perfectly. You
might be of two completely different mindsets, but you must know you are
together because you are meant to be. So don't spoil it. Whenever the other
person does something wrong or doesn't arrive on time, don't start by being so
aggressive. You must first ask the person what happened in a calm way and tell
that you understand, so don't worry. These small consoling words can strengthen
your relationship greatly.
HOW TO LOOSE A BABY WEIGHT
From the moment the baby weight
starts to accumulate on our bodies, the scheming begins about how to drop the
pounds once the little one arrives. After your baby is born and your days
gradually begin to regain somewhat of a routine, it’s time to put your ideas
into action. If you’re not sure exactly how to begin, here are seven proven
steps for working your way back to your PREPREGNANCY
bod—or better!
1. GET UP AND MOVE
Most new moms are too sleep-deprived
and overwhelmed to even think about exercise. That’s perfectly OK, says
exercise physiologist and postpartum-fitness expert Renee M. Jeffreys, M.S.
Most women’s bodies aren’t ready for serious exercise until six weeks after
giving birth, anyway—longer if they’ve had a Cesarean section.
Start by walking around the block,
Jeffreys says. If it feels good and doesn’t cause or exacerbate bleeding, walk
a little farther the next day. Do this until your six-week checkup, after which
you should be ready to do 20 to 30 minutes of cardio 3 to 5 times a week.
You don’t even have to leave your
neighborhood: The Surgeon General says that pushing a stroller 1-2 miles in 30
minutes burns 150 calories. So does walking up and down stairs for 15 minutes.
Need some more ideas to get
moving? Squeeze in a Quickie
workout that you can do you’re your baby, or try some ab rehab.
And if you're looking to have better post-baby sex, make sure you do your
Kegels.
2. BREASTFEED
When you’re BREASTFEEDING, you need an extra 500 calories a day, or about 2,700
total. But since breastfeeding burns 600 to 800 calories a day, even if all you
do is sit comfortably and feed your baby, you could still be losing weight.
Some lucky women can drop all their
baby fat, and then some, through breastfeeding alone. That happened to Tiffany
Tinson of Bronxville, N.Y. Six months after giving birth to her first child,
Connor, Tinson had dipped to 10 pounds below her prepregnancy weight, even
though she was eating more and not exercising much. “I attribute it all to
breastfeeding,” she says.
But be aware that as soon as you
stop or taper off breastfeeding, or begin supplementing your baby’s diet with
solids, your calorie needs will plummet. You could really pack on the weight if
you don’t Adjust Your Diet downward
and/or your exercise routine upward.
3. LIFT WEIGHTS, GET STRONG
WEIGHT TRAINING will
go a long way toward speeding up your metabolism. However, instead of going to
the gym or investing in a set of dumbbells right away, Jeffreys suggests
incorporating your baby into your routine. Hold the baby to your chest and do
lunges, say, or do lunges behind the stroller as you walk. Or lie on your back,
holding the baby above your chest, and slowly press her up toward the ceiling
several times.
If you’re unsure about what you’re
doing, hire a personal trainer with a certification in prenatal and postnatal
fitness for a few weeks to get you on the right track.
4. WATCH CALORIES AND FAT
Say no to Empty-Calorie foods like sodas and chips, as well as fad diets that eliminate entire food groups. Instead, fill your diet with a variety of nutrient-rich meals containing lean protein, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and plenty of low-fat dairy products, says Tammy Baker, M.S., R.D., a Phoenix-based dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.Experts advise against going on a diet right after giving birth. “To get your body back, you have to think health first,” Baker says. “Your body is working to repair itself.”
And try to spread out all those fresh vittles. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day will keep your blood- sugar levels steady and help prevent you from overeating, Baker says. Keep in mind that if your calories are distributed throughout the day, they’re metabolized more efficiently and are less likely to be stored as fat.
And watch the juices. All the vitamin C you need for one day is in a small glass of orange juice. Any more than that and you’ll be drinking unnecessary calories.
5. TAKE NAPS
“Getting plenty of sleep has been shown to help with weight loss because
you’re not compelled to binge on high-calorie, high-sugar foods for energy,”
says Sheah Rarback, M.S., R.D., director of nutrition at the Mailman Center for
Child Development at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Strange sleep
cycles like those forced on you by a newborn can upset your metabolism and make
it harder for you to lose your pregnancy weight, Rarback says. Take a nap
anytime the baby does, housework be damned. That way, you won’t end up with a
long-term sleep deficit, and you’ll keep your energy levels and your
potentially naughty cravings in check.Whatever you do, don’t sacrifice sleep for exercise time in those early weeks. If you don’t sleep enough, you won’t have enough energy for satisfying workouts, anyway.
6. Eat healthful snacks
Eating too much sugar can send your blood-sugar levels on a roller-coaster
ride. And when your blood sugar drops, you’re more likely to eat the first
thing you can get your hands on. So skip the sugary treats. To avoid
temptation, keep only nutritious foods at your fingertips. And stock up on low-fat
milk and yogurt for snacks, as studies have shown that calcium from milk and
yogurt actually can aid weight loss by blocking a hormone that allows the body
to store fat.Also, eat High-fiber Snacks like figs and raisins or whole-wheat crackers with veggies, suggests Rarback. They can fill you up and help with digestion and regularity.
7. Get with other new moms
It can be helpful to connect with other moms for regular exercise. Carolyn
Pione of Baton Rouge, La., just didn’t feel she had the energy or the time to
exercise after she had her baby in 1999. Then, some pals who had formed an
early-morning running group showed up on her doorstep urging her to join.At first Pione, who had gained 38 pounds during her pregnancy, couldn’t keep up. But before long she felt compelled to catch up, and besides, she didn’t want to miss out on the friendly conversation. She lost all of her baby weight and now runs in 5k’s, something she never would have worked up to without the help of the group. “Alone, it would have been impossible,” she says.
