What I'm Looking Forward to in 2014!

Hello, readers! Well, Christmas is done and New Year's Eve (NYE) is right around the corner. I'm already getting my NYE plans together. It will involve friends, champagne, music and food. Lots and lots of food! I hope you all are getting your plans together, too.

With NYE comes the infamous NYE resolutions. Yes, promises we make to ourselves at the end of every year to somehow be better people, to be perfect. Though we may, initially, make our NYE resolutions with the strongest determination and passions, they are soon forgotten (usually within the first few days to the first couple of months of the New Year).

A Not So Christmas-y Post

I had so many ideas for this post. I mean Christmas is right around the corner so, my heart (and tummy) should be warm with the holiday spirit, right? The only problem is that it isn't. No, actually, my head, my heart and my spirit are cold and heavy. I understand if you would rather not read this post since you all are probably in the holiday spirit and I really don't want to be a downer. However, besides writing for you all, I also, write for myself and I need an outlet right now. So, please, do not let me bring down your holiday high, but if you wish to continue reading on, then, please do.

 I meant to post it last week, but  my mind got side tracked. Anyway, on to the topic of this post. How not to approach a woman way #4: the cock!
#4:
If your mind is in the gutter, you can pull it right out! I'm using the term cock to refer to a guy that is cocky instead of confident. Many people often get these two terms confused. Cocky and confident are not at all equivalents. Confidence is more like the base or foundation of cockiness. You see the difference between these two words is simple. Being confident means strongly believing and trusting in yourself and your actions; feelings of security with oneself. Being cocky essentially means being over confident. You trust and believe in yourself so much that in the process you put down others and become blind to your own flaws (which everyone has). Confidence is sexy and subtle. Cockiness is obnoxious and gaudy. Which one do you think women prefer? It's an easy answer.

When a cocky man approaches a woman he believes, wholeheartedly, that he's going to get a date with her. There is not one doubt in his mind and this fact shows in how he speaks with her. Why is being cocky such a turn off? When a man approaches a woman the woman has most of the control. This is because she has to the power (and right) to say yes or no to the man's offer. Essentially, the ball is in her court. Women enjoy this power. We like knowing we have control over who we invite as a participant in our love lives. So, when a cocky man approaches a woman he is, in a way, taking away that power. It's like he is claiming us before we have given an answer, resulting in our objectification and conclusive "hell no."

Now, when a confident man approaches a woman, he allows her to keep her control, her power. However, simultaneously he is, also, letting her know of his own power. The woman has the power to say no, yes, but a confident man,also, has the power to find another woman. Probably, with ease. With confidence, you are showing the woman that you have something to offer. You are showing her that even though you are sure she will respond positively to your approach, you're fine with walking away if she doesn't. And it won't be any skin off your back because that's just how much you believe in yourself.

So, confidence is hot! Cocky not so much. But what about those adorable dorky guys who aren't confident? They still have good intentions, but are shy and nervous when approaching women. Well, this depends on the woman. Some women think it's cute and don't mind that they lack a little confidence. Others see it as a sign they may not be confident in other areas of their life (such as their career) and so, therefore, it is a turn off. It really all just depends! I, personally, think a nervous dorky approach is cute and sweet sometimes, but I,also, want a guy with a little back bone. Well, until next time, readers! Ta-ta!

Your Turn:  Cocky or confident? Which approach do you prefer? Which approach do you use and why? Do you love the nervous nerdy approach as much as me or am I alone over here? I wanna know! Tell me! :)

The Good, The Bad and the Yet to Be Seen

Hello, readers! Can you believe that in a couple weeks it will be 2014? I know. My mind is blown, too. The years go by so fast now. When I was a kid it seemed like it took forever for time to go by. I would wait for the holidays, and all the goodness they brought with them, anxiously. Now, fall comes and goes so quickly. Winter gives us some snow and hot chocolate dreams before moving on, as well. Spring moves through quickly like a light morning rain. Summer goes by like a breeze. It all just happens so damn fast! My little cousins are growing up. They're teenagers now and dealing with the problems I once ad that they never understood. Time truly does fly. And that is why we should make the most of all the time we are given. How do you guys like to use your time? Me? Well, I enjoy movies....
