Playing Hard to Get

Playing Hard to Get

Playing hard to get is not a long-term solution to attracting quality men. Plus, it's too tiring!

Do you think that playing hard to get will create romantic tension with a new man and help you to ultimately hook him? Well, it probably will work-- with most men and for a short while. The problem is that it won't work in the long-term and with mature men who know that quality women are REAL people.

The Benefits Of Playing With Your Children [EXPERT]

Why play and creativity are important to parents and children.

"I am not my child's playmate, I am his parent" a mother announced in our playgroup. Many in the group echoed her thought with similar comments such as, "It is not my job to entertain him all day!" My first thought was, "I can tell you as the mother of an only child I am my son's main playmate." My second thought was, "Wow. Play is really important to me and my son. Am I doing something wrong?"

How To Talk About The Stuff We Usually Avoid

Tokii starts both silly and serious conversations between couples.

Well, my LDR boyfriend and I experimented for a month with Tokii and the results are in! Even though we are pretty good communicators already, this site helped me get answers to questions I didn't even know I had (like "Would you marry a woman with fertility issues?").

Do Bad Girls Really Get All The Guys?

Research says yes.

Psychiatrist Carole Lieberman thinks she's got men all figured out, and since I'm too daft to know otherwise, let's assume that she does. Let's assume that she's the Dr. Love we've been looking for, that she's the Mr. Miyagi to our Daniel LaRusso, the George Washington to our Revolutionists, the answer to our prayers. In her new book, "Bad Girls," Lieberman extols the virtues of being, predictably, a bad girl. Intrigued?
