One of the simplest ways to improve a relationship or make a good one become a great one is by simply cooking for your man.
I often hear American women complaining about their man wanting to have a clean house or a home cooked dinner when they come home. They say things like, “I’m not a maid” or “this isn’t the 1950’s” but the bottom line is this is one of the easiest ways to improve your current relationship, cooking. I’m amazed at the number of women who don’t know a damn thing about the kitchen. What’s wrong with them? This is one of the fundamental elements in a relationship. Later they wonder why more and more men want to marry women from other countries. (more…)
Today I happened to have the misfortune of listening to something that really disturbed me and got me thinking. As I was flipping through my radio stations I came across the Dr. Turkey-neck show and listen to a young woman who was calling to get advice from her. She stated she had been with her current boyfriend of 5 years since the age of 18 and her sexual appetite had extinguished. She wasn’t horny anymore. She wanted to know why she was feeling this way even though she still loves her boyfriend and was looking for advice on what to do about it.
To my surprise, Dr. Turkey-neck gave her the worst advice possible and set her up for a bad break up and possibly ruined any future relationship she might have. (more…)
A new study by at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions was recently released in regards to “that time of the month”.
The study states:
“Many women experience premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, which includes a wide-range of symptoms such as mood swings, bloating and cramping in the days during and leading up to menstruation. But these symptoms can intensify when a woman is under severe stress during the two weeks before menstruation begins, according to the study which was published online in the Journal of Women’s Health earlier this summer.” (more…)
It’s important to choose people while doing activities you enjoy because that guarantees that you both will have something in common right from the beginning. To go a step further, let me specify that a better idea is to meet people that are doing activities that show traits you might be looking for in a mate and start thinking more long-term rather than short-term.

Why is it that there’s a ton of women out there that choose to dress a bit too revealing on a regular basis? A lot of the times these women dress this way in places where it may not be the most appropriate one, such as a school or even just to go to the groceries. Now, let’s get one thing clear, I am not complaining about this at all, as a matter of fact, I’m glad there are women that do this. We need some eye candy every now and then. But I am surprised about the number of women that get upset or think is rude for a guy to bluntly stare at them. (more…)
Verbal abuse, screaming, name-calling, degrading comments — that is when ending the call is not disrespect. It’s self-protection.
But even then, a mature way to do it is:
“I’m not okay with how this conversation is going. I’m hanging up now. We’ll talk later.”
Not slamming the phone down.
Why Hanging Up Makes the Problem Worse
Arguments have one purpose:
Solve the problem.
Hanging up does the opposite.
After someone hangs up:
both people cool off but nothing gets resolved
resentment builds
the original issue grows
communication becomes worse next time
trust gets weaker
respect drops
Problems don’t go away when you hang up. They pile up.
If You Want Him to Stop Hanging Up on You
You have to set a boundary.
A calm, firm one.
Try this:
“When you hang up on me, it makes me feel disrespected and dismissed. I want us to solve problems together, not avoid them. If you hang up again, I won’t continue the conversation later. We need to communicate like adults or take a break before we talk.”
If he respects you, he will adjust.
If he doesn’t, you know exactly where you stand.
If YOU Want to Stop Hanging Up on Him
You need a replacement behavior.
Next time you feel the urge:
Say this:
“I care about this conversation and I want to solve it, but I’m too upset to talk right now. Let’s take ten minutes and come back.”
Then actually come back.
That’s emotional maturity.
How to Break the Hanging-Up Cycle Permanently
Talk about it when you’re both calm
Agree together that hanging up is not acceptable
Create a “pause phrase” you both respect (“Give me five minutes,” “Let’s take a break,” etc.)
Use time-outs instead of hang-ups
Reward maturity (acknowledge when partner handles conflict well)
This turns fights into progress instead of chaos.
The Bottom Line
Hanging up is disrespectful. It’s immature. It solves nothing. And it slowly kills the relationship.
If you do it, stop. If he does it, address it. If both of you do it, fix it now before the distance grows.
Healthy communication is the easiest way to turn a relationship around — and the fastest way to ruin one is hitting that red button.
