15 Signs She is Girlfriend Material

By Sebastian Harris

Making mistakes is a part of the path towards greatness and every mistake you make offers a unique learning experience. The moment you decide to improve your dating life, you make the decision to fail a few times along the way. This is totally natural and the only way to ever become great at something.Honestly, you can’t expect to be a master seducer, the moment you decide that you will lose your virginity. The first step is always the hardest and you will experience a lot of situations in which you say the wrong things, leave the wrong impression and act insecure, even though you wanted to appear confident. Those are all mistakes that are good for your learning process and that can be corrected very easily. However, there is one crucial mistake that thousands of men make, that you should avoid at all cost. Approaching a girl with a weird line might result in ten minutes of awkward stammering, but choosing the wrong girlfriend, can lead to a life of regret, especially when you put a ring on her finger and a baby in her belly. By sharing the following 15 signs she is girlfriend material, I want to provide you with everything you need to know in order to make the right decision. I don’t want you to be the next guy who asks me for advice on how he can escape his toxic relationship.

1. She Doesn’t Indulge in Self-Destructive Behavior

I am pretty sure you want a girlfriend who loves herself and the world she is living in. Thanks to a lot of conversations with men who saw themselves trapped in unfulfilling relationships, I know this is what every man wants. Unfortunately, a lot of those men who dream about being in harmonic relationships with life-affirming women, end up dating girls who indulge in self-destructive behavior. And yes, even though getting drunk every weekend in order to forget the daily routine is completely socially acceptable, it is still self-destructive behavior. If you are on a date with a girl and she needs cigarettes to cope with stress and alcohol to cope with loneliness you should think twice before you call her your girlfriend.

2. She is Ready to Settle Down

I recently had a conversation with one of my friends. He told me that his girlfriend goes out every weekend with her girls and that she is more interested in traveling alone than in sharing such an experience with him. The uncomfortable truth was that the last thing his girlfriend wanted was to be in a relationship. She was simply not ready to be in a relationship. If you end up dating a girl who is not ready to settle down, you don’t have to wonder why your relationship is miserable. Of course it is important to give her some freedom and to not be a clingy and jealous boyfriend, but if she isn’t ready to settle down, there is little to nothing you can do to make her feel happy with you.

3. She is Not the Overly Attached Girlfriend

The other extreme of the girl who is not ready to settle down is the overly attached girlfriend. The overly attached girlfriend is more than a popular internet meme. This kind of girl is also a harsh reality for a lot of guys who have lost all their freedom.The overly attached girlfriend calls you ten times a day, she gets angry when you don’t reply to her texts within a timeframe of twenty seconds and in extreme cases she hacks your laptop password and checks your emails. You don’t want to end up with such a girl. You want to be together with a girl who gives you a lot of love without taking away your freedom.

4. She is Good in the Sack

Now that I just talked about giving love, it is time to talk about giving orgasms. Yes, love is important in a relationship, but if the sexual attraction and the passion are missing, it’s nothing but a friendship.It might sound a bit politically incorrect, but unless you want to end up as a sexually frustrated wimp who watches porn every night and runs to hookers to get his dick sucked, you should choose a girl who is good in the sack.

5. She Likes You For Being the Weirdo You Are

One popular misconception that a lot of guys have is that all women want the same type of guy. I mean, every single woman on earth wants to be together with a rich psychopath like Christian Grey, right?Wrong!Just like some men are into black girls and others into Asians, women have different tastes. Some women love serious businessmen, others love guys who crack one joke after another and some girls are totally into nerds who can’t wait for the next Comic Con. The only thing that matters is that she likes you for who you are and that she isn’t obsessed with changing you.

6. She is Daddy’s Girl

In case you think it is a bad sign when a girl tells you that she is daddy’s girl, you have never dated a girl with severe father issues. Yes, she might be a bit spoilt, but if she has a good relationship with her father, you can confidently assume that she has a good relationship to men. One of the reasons why my girlfriend respects and loves me so much is because she learned early in life that men are not the enemies. The credit goes to her father.

7. She Values Time More than Money

In case you meet a woman and she wants to spend as much time as possible with you, without ever expecting you to pay for anything, she might be the right girl.A good girlfriend is a woman who values time more than money. If you end up dating a gold digger, you will eventually end up broke and miserable.

 



 

8. She Doesn’t Know What Prozac

Is  The number of women who are dependent on antidepressant rises, especially in the Western hemisphere. When I told my Asian girlfriend that a lot of girls in the West take Prozac to get through the day she didn’t believe me. When I told my friends that my girlfriend just meditates for a couple of minutes when she is depressed, they didn’t believe me.It is on you if you mess up your life with a messed up girl.

9. She Doesn’t Expect You to Put a Ring on Her Finger

I don’t say that marriage is particularly bad, but I do say that no man should ever put a ring on a girl’s finger because she expects it.  A woman who expects a man to put a ring on her finger is not driven by love, but by the fear of ending up alone. If she would be driven by love, she wouldn’t care about some unnecessary contract. 

10. She is the Opposite of an Attention Whore

What if your girlfriend needs your attention 24/7?What if your girlfriend feels the urge to go to a club and to dance all night if you don’t give her your attention?Get rid of her!If your girlfriend needs the attention of other guys who stare at her while she is dancing in the club, it won’t take long until she ends up in bed with a guy who is willing to give her more attention than you, even if it’s just for one night. Make sure that you end up dating a girl who can survive at least 24 hours without any attention from you or anyone else.

11. She Can Talk Without Yelling

One thing that I love about my girlfriend is her calm and relaxed attitude. I honestly can’t remember that she ever screamed at me. When I compare this harmonic way of interacting with the horror that one of my friends has to survive whenever his beloved psychopath screams at him, I consider myself fortunate. Unless you always wanted to know how it feels to have a tinnitus, you should observe the way she talks before you end up in a relationship with her.

12. You Love Her, Even Without Makeup

The sad truth is that we men are really easy to fool. All a woman has to do is to put on enough makeup, wear high heels, a tight dress and the right push up bra and we are blown away. In case you end up in bed with a girl who was extremely attractive when you took her home from the club, but who scared the shit out of you once you looked into her face the next morning, she is not the right girl for you. When you don’t love a woman without makeup, you don’t love her at all.

13. You Don’t Celebrate Whenever She Leaves Your Apartment

When I think back to the time when I was together with my ex-girlfriend, I remember a feeling of contentment and hope whenever she left my apartment. As you can already imagine, the relationship was anything but healthy. With my current girlfriend I smile whenever she enters the room. A man who is happier when his girlfriend is gone than he is when she is around, should better be single. 

14. She Wants You to Desire Her

I hope you remember how I said at the beginning of this article that passion and sexuality are an important aspect of a healthy relationship. In order to trigger feelings of passion and sexual attraction, it is your job as her boyfriend to look handsome for her and it is her job as your girlfriend to look beautiful for her

If you are together with a girl who doesn’t care about her appearance when she is with you, who walks around in sweat pants all day and who couldn’t care less about whether or not you desire her, the relationship is doomed to fail.

Your girlfriend should enjoy dressing up for you. She should derive satisfaction from making you horny. That’s how a healthy sexual connection between a man and a woman looks like.

 

15. She Allows You to Take Off Your Mask

The most important quality that your girlfriend absolutely must have is that she allows you to take off your mask. In today’s society nearly everyone wears a mask. We are so focused on saying the right things and expressing our politically correct opinion that we lose touch with who we really are.

Your relationship should be the safe harbor where you can be yourself and share your honest opinion. A girl who allows you to take off the mask and who loves your authentic self is definitely a keeper.

The Drunk And Passed Out Salarymen Of Japan

pictures of passed out drunk salarymen of Japan

This is a culture where drinking parties are job requirements. It’s a place where you can market a product that lets you consume more alcohol while getting less drunk. Think about that for a minute: You pay 100 yen for a product that lets you consume more but feel it less. This only makes sense in a culture of competitive, shot-for-shot drinking, where keeping pace with your coworkers and superiors is rule ichiban.

Sixty percent of problem drinkers are salaried businessmen who claim that getting drunk with clients or coworkers is part of their job and a mark of company loyalty. To refuse a drink from the boss is a terrible insult that can damage a career. And although alcohol consumption is now decreasing in most industrialized countries, it has quadrupled in Japan since 1960.

New Program Offers Prisoners And Shelter Dogs A Second Chance

0
0

An innovative program where prisoners train dogs abandoned at shelters is changing lives — both for the people and the pooches.

Inmates at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta get matched up with a dog awaiting adoption, and the pair then spend every day and night together for two months. The prisoners train the dogs, and the dogs in return give love, affection and a sense of responsibility to their human companions.
It’s all part of the Canine CellMates program.

The results are life-changing for some, with prisoner Joseph Baker saying: “This program has changed me — it has taught me to have responsibility and how to have patience.”

The inmates also teach the dogs tricks such as sit, stay, and roll over, which help the canines increase their chance of getting adopted.



Susan Jacobs-Meadows, executive director of Canine CellMates, said: “Most of these guys gave up believing that there was very much of value to them a long time ago. But when that dog loves them and trusts them that starts to change how they feel about themselves.”

The inmates also see deep similarities between the animals and their own situations, with one man saying: “The bond that me and Fred have… He came to a place where he was going to be put to death and I came from a place that was on the bad side.”

“If Fred can have an opportunity to go to a good home and he can change, that makes me want to change the environment that I’m in. That means I can do better also.”

15 Actively Practicing Muslims Reveal Their Thoughts And Feelings After The Paris Attacks

0
0

1. Honestly, I feel anger towards my own people. I grew up in the middle east, at a young age I was exposed to the Bullshit ideologies that exist within middle eastern society.

People out there don’t care enough to get up and do something about their withering homes, their lack of funded education, the rise in crime etc. Instead they blame these things on the west, and more specifically Israel.

The guy that chose not to go to college when he had the chance to do so suddenly finds him in the shitty part of town, with 7 kids and drives a cab all day. But when asked why he doesn’t do anything he’ll puff up his chest, square his shoulders and confidently say something along the lines of “it’s America and Israel that fucked us, we Arabs are proud and our time will come”.

The thing that I was exposed to as a child wasn’t religious extremism, it was social elitism. As an Arab myself I can tell you that a huge majority of Arabs living in the middle east sincerely believe that if you’re not one of them then you’re a level below them. I absolutely hate it when apologist Muslims come out of the woods every time a tragic event like this occurs and say “but not all muslims”.

If you live in the middle east and deny what I just said you’re only lying to yourself. It’s a majority of people who have this stupid point of view, and it’s easy to warp their reality into picking up a gun and shooting innocents, or convincing them into suicide bombing themselves in a crowd or bus. When you have a bunch of people who honestly believe they’re better than everyone else, you can make them do whatever the hell you want. Why else would people go willingly join terror organizations?

I mean for fucks sake, we don’t even like eachother. Jordanians, Lebanese, saudis, Iraqis etc etc all hate eachother. And within our own countries we hate eachother and do nothing but show off our blood lines. “I’m from this family, I have more right than you” type mentality actually exists in this day and age.

I honestly don’t blame anyone for thinking negatively of muslims, a lot of people I’ve met in the state I currently live in have never met a muslim, I can’t blame them for thinking that we’re all violent idiots.

– GREYCafe 

 

 

2. Generally it goes something along the lines of “Oh no another terrorist attack? PLEASE DON’T BE MUSLIMS PLEASE DON’T BE MUSLIMS PLEASE DON’T BE MUSLIMS PLEASE DON’T BE MU- GOD FUCKING DAMNIT”. I know this is a joking sort of comment in a serious thread but to be perfectly honest, I think that goes through most of our heads. It seriously sucks because for a lot of us Muslims in the western world, we have the same fears that all the Europeans and Americans have (fear for our lives and for our loved ones) and at the same time we fear for our safety and how we will be affected by the terrorist attacks.

– KawKawww 

 

 

3. As an American citizen and Muslim and in American military. I fucking hate this. I am honestly exhausted in trying to bring the light of day. I try to educate and defend the Muslim community but when people think it is okay to kill in the name of religion.

I’ve lost hope

– n3rve101

 

 

4. Right now, i feel so ashamed. I feel apologetic. I feel defensive. I am also utterly disgusted that this is done “in our name”. I keep wanting to tell people i am sorry. I am sorry this happened. I am sorry these terrorists probably have the same name as my father or brother or uncle. I am so sorry. Believe me, I know the fear. I know the loss. Believe me, I grew up with this around me and I am so sorry for all your hurt.

– IShouldSayThat

 

 

5. In college my friends said, “will you walk me home tonight?” “Will you walk with me to classes for the next couple of days?”

– zykezero 

 

 

6. To be honest, as a Muslim, I start to question things a lot, and I realize that the prophecized end of the world, if it ever occurs, will not be due to an angry God sending destruction and flames onto Earth, but a self-fulfilling prophecy that humans will inflict upon themselves.

– OnQuh 

 

 

7. As an American and a Muslim, with a family that’s all Muslims and friends that are mostly Muslim, I speak for all of them when I say: Fuck these fuckers and I hope they rot in Hell. What are you trying to achieve? You’re just fucking up the lives of all those Muslims who abhor your corrupted beliefs. And to what end? You wanted the west out of the Middle East, and now we’re just going to come in stronger. You did 9/11 and now all your Al Queada heads are dead and the situation in your countries are considerably worse. What have you achieved except bring more suffering onto the Muslims just trying to peaceably live their lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, And Syria?

8. Arab Muslim in Saudi Arabia. People are just waking up to the news (it’s the weekend). I read a few headlines last night before bed, but could not imagine it would reach the scale that it did (this was before the hostage situation came to light). I remember my thoughts in order were:

“Please don’t let it be Muslims”

“Who am I kidding? It’s probably Muslims.”

“Fuck. I should be thinking about the victims…”

“Please don’t let it be Muslims.”

On another note, I honestly feel guilty for caring so much. Just the night before, 43 people were killed and 200+ injured by two explosions in Beirut, Lebanon (long called “the Paris of the Middle East” amusingly enough) and I shrugged it off as “business as usual”. I feel guilty now for being so insensitive, and ashamed that it took the media coverage in Paris to get me to even sympathize with the victims in Beirut. I feel like at this point, if I talked about Paris it would be hypocritical, and if I talked about Beirut it would be too forced. I just feel like staying silent.

9. Sadness for the victims of the horrible tragedy. Anger at the horrible people that would commit such heinous acts (whether they’re Muslim or not). Constant hope that the perpetrators aren’t Muslim. A deep worry for my Muslim brothers and sisters (especially women that wear hijab/niqab) that are going to be the victims of hateful attacks for the next couple weeks.

10. How does ANYONE feel knowing that so many people are being killed mercilessly? Horrible, disgusted, sad.

But as Muslims, it goes beyond that. We don’t get to feel horrible about people dying because we’re treated like the enemy/murderers who caused all this in the first place. So if we show condolences, we dont get taken seriously and get hated on for ‘lying’. Basically these incidences dehumanize the average Muslims.

Also, anxiety. Many Muslims won’t be leaving their houses today (and the next few weeks) if they can help it. Muslim women are especially at risk if they’re wearing hijab. Generally its the Muslim women that get attacked/harassed, even months after the incident took place.

11. Sadness. Overwhelming sadness, because people are dead and they’ve left people behind. And if the people who did it, claim to have done so because of Islam, there’s the additional pain of seeing someone pervert something I love and murdering people because of it.

And I don’t know what I can do. I’m an American-born Muslim convert, I’m not in contact with anyone who is at risk to embrace this kind of extremism and so aside from simply denouncing it, which always feels too much like slacktivism, there’s a frustration in the fact that I feel like there’s nothing I can do

 

 

12. On a day like today, what goes through my mind is the change that really needs to take place in the East. People need to relax when it comes to religion; its ok to be devoted, but its not ok to force others to believe in what you do, how you do. Also, people need to come off their pedestal and realize that everyone is just another human being trying to get along in life, and you butting your beliefs in the way is just hindering their honest intentions. If these changes don’t occur, people will continually form these horrible extremist groups, and people will continue to die, all because of stupid cultural norms.

13. Honestly, when I first read about it this morning, my immediate reaction was “oh, god, please don’t be Muslim.” And then I found out that before firing, one of the attackers had yelled “Allahu Akbar” and I just put my head in my hands and cried. I had the live Reddit updates on the situation open on one tab, the news report on another, just wincing every time they announced a rise in the death toll. I was plastering my social media accounts with support for France, reiterating constantly that I was doing so as a Muslim as well as a human being.

At this point, especially as a hijab-wearer, you just feel this sense of hopelessness. You feel the need to defend your beliefs, but at the same time you can’t change people’s minds with less then 30 followers on social media, you can’t refute all the hate comments about your religion flooding in if you’re not some big public figure. You feel insignificant and empty and helpless, and you can’t do anything about this situation but pray whenever it happens.

Putting religion aside for a moment, though, you wonder what kind of monster would slaughter so many innocent people and why. I got teary one time when a woman killed a honeybee in front of me. How does one justify the massacre of literally >150 people? How does one use RELIGION to do it, when the Quran clearly states,

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. (5:32)

14. “please don’t let it be a Muslim…oh God it’s Muslims….hate comments incoming all over the Internet”

Seriously though, the first thing I feel is sympathy for the people killed, injured, or affected in any way. It’s horrible and tragic what happened, and as a normal human being, I’m sad for my fellow human beings. Then, I think about the cause of the tragedy: A group that calls itself the “Islamic State” when–and I know this is an overused statement but it’s very true–it’s anything but Islamic. The Qur’an, Hadith, and all Islamic source material do NOT condone or encourage any such acts. This is the work of people who claim to be Muslims fighting for Islam and “Jihad” when really, they have nothing to do with Islam. They’re a political faction, and their actions are for political gain. Islam is just a label, a “justification” for their actions and a way to gain support in a geographic area full of Muslims.

Sorry for the small rant, you get what I’m saying. I first feel deeply saddened, then I think about the hypocrites and sinners known as ISIS, then I start thinking about how some people and the media will use this to continue hating on Islam.

15. I just can’t see how I can practice the same faith as the people who are orchestrating these acts. My religion teaches me kindness, mercy, and peace and they are acting on the complete opposite principles. But then I realize that their religion is mixed in with politics, propaganda, and lies. I don’t understand how someone can have so much hatred in their heart that they could kill just one innocent person, let alone hundreds. I don’t understand why there has to be so much bloodshed, anger, and tyranny in the world.

I’m a Shia Muslim, and most of the radical Islamist wouldn’t even consider me Muslim. Earlier this week ISIS took responsibility for the bombing in Beirut, in a neighborhood where my family members live. I feel a constant pressure to apologize on behalf of ISIS, but my people are the victims. I shouldn’t have to apologize for them, they aren’t me. They are the complete opposite of everything stand for.

When events like this occur I spend a lot of time reading comments to see how people are speaking about Muslims. I read a lot of comments spewing hate to Muslims and I can’t help but think that this is what the radical groups want. They want the west to backlash against the Muslims in their countries as a way to recruit more members. I come from a town with a lot of Muslims and I can see this at work. Whenever there is a negative backlash against the Muslim American community I can see anger and rage build up in the community. We get more stares, more racial slurs spewed at us, more “Anti-Islam” protests in our community. It makes us feel more and more like outsiders.

A lot of people blame terrorism on my religion, and I don’t think that’s the case. I feel like religion is a piece of clay that each person molds to make their own. You can approach it with anger and violence in your heart and make a weapon out of your clay. Or you can approach it with love and kindness and make something beautiful. It’s not the religion that is rotten, it’s the artist. There’s a lot of anger and violence in the Muslim world today and terrorism is its product. I don’t think we can solve the issue with more violence. We have been trying to combat this issue with violence for decades and that has only fueled the recruitment campaign of organizations like ISIS.

I don’t know what the solution is. I don’t know why so many of my people fall in the trap of ISIS. I don’t know how they can base such a horrible ideology off of my faith. I simply know that I am not Isis, and i am tired of apologizing on their behalf.
