There is no question that Drew Brees is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, what most people know is that he won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints in 2009.  But, what a lot of people don’t know about Brees however is that he is what he does for other people and the community off the field.  When people think of Brees they may remember that he broke Dan Marino’s single season passing record in the 2011 season, and that he was an integral part of negotiating the new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL. Still… this is not the reason why we respect Drew Brees so much. If you think back to when he was a star in college at Purdue people always speculated that he was too short to be an effective QB in the NFL.  “Drew Brees is a winner both on and off the field” Brees was… [Read more]

It is important to take your time when getting to know someone. A lot of people get excited when they meet someone and they call their friends talking about how they met “the one” for them after only knowing the person for a week or two. The problem with this is the other person may not be feeling you in the same way, and while you think they are Mr. Right, they may be thinking that you are Mrs. Right Now. For that it is important to put infatuation aside, and temper your enthusiasm as much as possible in the early stages. Women on average are more emotional than men; this can be a troubling situation for both men and women because of infatuation, which can lead people to do irrational things. This can be more dangerous for women because men typically take longer to open themselves up and reveal their emotions than women do…. [Read more]

Editor’s Note: One of the harshest “competitions” going on in life is the measuring stick of success that people seem to strive for. But guest author The Marksman brings to question “Isn’t success an individual journey?” A journey whose results are subjective at best? Of course it is, at least I personally agree but people still refer to others as being “successful” when they see nice cars, clothes and homes. Having been called “successsful” by quite a few people while feeling quite the opposite, I found the following article to really speak to me personally. I hope you find some value in it too.” – G.Dragon Just because you drive an expensive car or live in a big house, does not mean that you are successful, that is a common misconception in this country. Success is something that people measure differently, and most have opinions that conflict on exactly what being successful means.  Think about… [Read more]

There are a lot of men out there who will sleep with anything.  Everyone has their own preferences, but there are many cases where a guy just wants to get some.  A lot of times they don’t care from whom, and this is where the problem lies. By lowering your standards people will talk, and word will get around that you will jump on anything that moves.  There are several reasons that you don’t want to be the person people are talking about. Building and maintaining a good reputation is one of the prime concerns for a man of worth, and anything that can have a detrimental effect on this can easily hinder his future actions and plans. If you start slipping and begin to entertain a certain “type” that isn’t up to your standards, word will get around. Lowering your requirements for the sake of a roll in the hay is something that desperate, lonely men… [Read more]

So there are a few weeks left in the NFL Season and you find yourself in front of the couch every Sunday to watch the big game.  To your woman it will seem as if you forgot about her as you disappear for 8+ hours on Sundays (sometimes without even leaving your home).  This isn’t a problem if you are the lucky guy that found a woman who loves football or one that takes the time to have her own fun.  But for many guys this is hardly the case so I have come up with a few tips to keep you in good graces with your woman while getting in your football fix. Introduce her to the game and some of its players:  By doing this you are inviting her to share something that you enjoy (for once), and she will probably start to enjoy watching it because she can finally understand the games….

Compliments are generally a good idea especially when you are sincere.  For men in relationships, flattery is important because when the woman gets a new hairstyle she is going to want to know what you think about it.  But even before that she will want you to notice it without her prompting you that something changed about her appearance. In many cases many men won’t care either way, but letting her know you’ve noticed is an art form. The Art of Compliments: The first thing you must do is to take into account the woman’s appearance.  Make sure you don’t generalize it with something stupid like “you’re hot” or “Damn baby you got a lot back there”- those type of statements aren’t going to get you far with most women. Pick something specific about her, like her hair, or how her outfit looks because that will let her know that you took the time to… [Read more]

Dating is a game, and with that game comes a lot of misconceptions. One of those misconceptions is when women think that they are “getting over” when they get a free drink or dinner from a guy – then they break off contact or don’t give him the phone number. This concept can be illustrated in the following quote taken from an article written by a woman who was lamenting on why she doesn’t like “nice men”. “On the other hand, to women looking for a quick ego fix or just a free drink, nice guys read “sucker”. Nice guys are easy to take advantage of and score freebies from. You teach people how to treat you, so if you act insecure and needy, people (and that includes women) will treat you as such. Insecurity is a major turnoff.” This is the problem with SOME women (please take note that I did not say all… [Read more]

If you watch the Lifetime TV Network, or have had a conversation with a single woman lately you probably think men are all no good dogs.  Especially the Alpha male who is rich powerful, and has everything going for them.  You will hear women spin tales of these type of men leaving them crushed and heartbroken without as much as a thought to the pain they have inflicted. There are two sides to every story, and if you thought about things objectively for a bit you would clearly see that not all men are like that.  A study even found that powerful women are just as likely to cheat as men, so that debunks all this media attention that guys are the only bad ones in relationships. Self-confidence gained from a high-level job is the main link to unfaithfulness, not stress or potential risk, psychologists found.  Which means that cheating and being unfaithful is a… [Read more]
