Showering a woman with a flirtatious gesture is one way you can show your interest in her. Innocent flirting can open up new possibilities; unfortunately, bad flirting does the converse. It will have the woman run the other way so fast before you can even finish your cheesy pick up line: “Was your father an alien, because there’s no one like you on Earth!”

There are a handful of men out there who are clueless when it comes to flirting. In this article, we highlight the faux pas most men make when picking up a woman.

While the place may just be a tad unconventional, the gym is actually a good place to expand your social network and get lucky with women. Why is that, you ask. There is a plethora of reasons: first, the women are working out, and a woman who is health-conscious and keeps herself in fighting shape is a keeper. Second, the ladies are usually clad in sports bras, which leave very little for imagination. And third, you have just had an intense workout, and your bulging muscles and poppy veins consummate a very masculine image. Knowing you look pretty good, you exude great confidence and this ups your chance of scoring with the ladies.

It is often said that 80% of males masturbate; we believe the remaining 20% haven’t discovered it yet. Indeed, the act of masturbation is very common and is a topic boys liberally discuss. As teenagers, whenever we had a boner, we would scurry to the nearest toilet or private room and we jerked off. Worried our parents would be at the other end of the door listening in, or worst, indiscriminately barge into our room, we wanted to ejaculate in the shortest time possible. Masturbation was always a race against time.

Masturbation has gotten more pleasurable, it seems, but is there more to it?

These days, however, more and more people are looking to retire long before their twilight years. Multitudes of working adults, still young and in their prime, are now hoping for an early retirement. And they have very exciting retirement plans in store: a very long holiday; moving into a mansion where they will grow old in.

One can only retire when he is financially free; no mortgage or installments to worry about. If this sounds like one of your plans, then building your nest egg needs to start right now!

Cellphone in the Toilet

It could happen to anyone: you dropped your cellphone in the toilet. Take the battery out immediately, to prevent electrical short circuits from frying your phone’s fragile internals. Then, wipe the phone gently with a towel, and shove it into a jar full of uncooked rice. It works for the same reason you may keep few grains of rice in your salt shaker to keep the salt dry. Rice has a high chemical affinity for water - that means the molecules in the rice have a nearly magnetic attraction for water molecules, which will be soaked up into the rice rather than beading up inside the phone.

It is a low-tech version of the “Do Not Eat” desiccant packets that may have been packed in the box the phone came in, to keep moisture away from the circuitry during shipping and storage. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m always looking for ways to multitask and save time, so I discovered a neat way to work my forearms (which don’t get much gym time the poor little things) and brush my teeth at the time. Here’s how. Read the rest of this entry »
