I refer to what I call the "Big Four" quite a bit. Yet, it has occurred to me that I've never devoted an article to making sure you've got the exact concept I'm talking about down with pinpoint accuracy. "It's about freakin' time", someone said.

The "Big Four", in principle, are the most basic, fundamental factors that decide whether a woman is attracted to you or not. Get them right, and women WILL respond powerfully to you. Ignore them (or worse?be ignorant ... Read More ...

We asked over 100 men "How could a woman you've never met know you're interested in her?

For the typical woman, however, the story is much different. It takes about 24 hours of romantic foreplay for a woman to become aroused. By foreplay, I'm not talking about hugging, kissing, and caressing-although all of that is perfectly fine, especially during the final few minutes of the 24-hour ... Read More ...

At the core of this issue is how differently men and women view marriage. For starters, most women are preparing to get married from day one, when they first fell in love with their daddy. Didn't you and your friends pretend wedding? By contrast, how many little boys were playing wedding? For women, getting married is a dream-come-true; the culmination of the fantasy that began the first time they heard a fairy tale with a prince in it. Isn't that what princes are for, to whisk the beautiful maiden off to his castle to live happily-ever-after? Sure, some of you ... Read More ...
