9 Simple Romantic Ideas For Every Man

Over the years, friends and faithful readers alike have asked me one question more often than any other: What kind of advice can you offer me on romance?While I must have answered this question hundreds of times throughout the years, it continues to resurface constantly, often with a greater sense of urgency. In response to the many queries, I decided to take all my secrets, suggestions, and romantic ideas, and put them down in writing for the world to see.
I know many men, my husband included, who have a flair for romantic ideas, sweet gestures, and spontaneity at the drop of a hat, so it's not impossible to become a "romantic dude," so to speak. Even the most masculine of "macho" men has the ability to plan a romantic dinner, bring home flowers for no reason or simply find the time in a hectic day to express admiration for his woman.The following are some simple romantic ideas that will help you impress your lady without having to go too far out of your way to do so. Prepare to dazzle her.Make a listMake a list of the special days on the calendar that you celebrate together, such as the day you met, your yearly anniversary, or even the anniversary of your first kiss. On these days make a point to spend some quality time together. Cook a special meal (or pick one up on the way home from work). Buy her a card or write her a short letter, and let her know that you didn't forget.Toast to herToast each other when you sit down to dinner. It doesn't need to be over bubbly or wine, but even a glass of water or iced tea. Tell her something you love about her and then drink to it!Reach out and touch herUse the power of touch to make a lasting impression throughout the day. There is no such thing as not having time for a kiss goodbye in the morning or again upon reuniting at the end of the day. And an inviting warm hug or backrub at the end of a stressful day is always appreciated.

Create a photo albumTake pictures often; don't save the camera for holidays and special occasions. Create a visual scrapbook of your everyday life together. Better still, set the timer and pose together. You will both appreciate the warmth of the moment when you see these snapshots in an album down the road.Take note of significant thingsSet something aside for her every day. It might be a newspaper article you read during your commute, a link to a website you came across, or even a story you heard by the office water cooler. She will appreciate that you took a moment to think of her during the course of your day.Be thoughtfulDo something thoughtful for her every day. Whether it's making her a cup of coffee in the morning, sticking a surprise note in her bag, or leaving her a chocolate "kiss" on her pillow before bedtime, everyone loves a romantic surprise.Keep up your appearanceLet her see you at your best. It's ironic that we dress up to meet total strangers but let ourselves go around our nearest and dearest. Most women love to see their men clean-shaven, in great clothes and perhaps wearing a hint of her favorite cologne.Tell her about your moods Be honest if you are feeling stressed or under the weather. Your woman will appreciate your honesty and will know not to take it personally when you come home in a bad mood.Discuss your daySit down together when you get home and relate your daily experiences. The best thing about spending time apart is that it makes you appreciate each other more.

Choose The Best Condom

Choose the best condom brandSome people prefer certain materials and textures when it comes to choosing the best condom. By far the most advanced condom material is a medical polyurethane called Microsheer, which is thinner and stronger than latex. Microsheer condoms are a little pricier, but they're worth every dime for the added sensation that they permit.
For the true player, Microsheer presents a long-awaited step up from the last generation of prophylactics. These jimmy hats transmit body heat, are nonallergenic and have no taste or smell.
This means that your woman won't get a nasty rash and an awful latex taste if she decides to give you oral sex in the middle of the main event. And you thought science was for introverts in lab coats.
Tactylon is another welcome development in the condom industry. Tactylon, like polyurethane, doesn't cause allergic reactions and stretches more comfortably than latex. It also costs a little more, but it's certainly a cheaper alternative to a funeral or a kid.If you aren't ready to make the price jump to polyurethane or Tactylon, there are plenty of cheaper options. You can always pick up the "ribbed for his and her pleasure" studded latex or one of a seemingly unending parade of shaped, colored and flavored condoms.

Sheen-Richards Custody Fight Gets Uglier

Britney and Kevin aren't the only celebs trading vicious jabs in custody court.
On Wednesday, Denise Richards filed a motion to a judge to "protect her children" from her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, hoping that Sheen's overnight privileges with their daughters would be revoked. The 'Two and a Half Men' star and Richards have two daughters together, Sam, 3, and Lola, 2.
Access Hollywood obtained the court papers filed by Richards, and some of the claims the actress makes are sure to be tabloid fodder.
Richards claims that Sheen often exhibits "inappropriate behavior... and conduct," which includes Sheen's "attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts."
In the filing, Richards' nanny also says that daughter Sam has told her Sheen threatened to hit her, and that the actor hits the family dogs. Alvarez goes on to say that Sheen "yells... and routinely curses" in the presence of his children, and that he "completely ignores" his daughter Lola.
In response, Sheen snapped back that Richards "behaves as though she owns our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching." Sheen’s lawyer, Lance Spiegel, also says that nearly "all of these allegations were previously raised and were denied by Mr. Sheen."
I heard Charlie Sheen plays the xxx game with the members from BillionaireCupid.com. That's extremely bad to his daughters. I think Richards is right.

Recognize when she’s receptive and when she’s NOT

It's important that you cultivate the ability to recognize when a woman is "open and receptive" to you, and when she's not. When she looks at you, does she look away? Does she look down or to the SIDE when she looks away? As you become better and better at seeing receptive "states" in women, you'll find that your success will improve SUBSTANTIALLY.
