Top 10: Best Christmas Gifts For Her

There is no holiday gift quite as important or more difficult to choose successfully than the gift for the lady in your life. Whether you've only been dating for two weeks or you've been together for two years, most women will appreciate personable presents and the care you take in picking them out. So, when that time of year comes along where you have to open your heart and wallet to prove your love to your woman, consult this guide to find the perfect gift for your girl.


1. Lingerie
When holiday shopping for your girlfriend, sexy intimate wear is always a good choice that never gets old; however, keep in mind that not all lingerie is romantic. For example, something like, say, crotchless panties could be seen as slutty and more of a gift for you. When it comes to buying lingerie for your girlfriend, you have to think sensuous.


2. Popular Electronics
For the woman who happens to be a techie, popular items like digital cameras, portable reading devices and laptop computers are hot holiday gifts.


3. Aromatherapy candles
Scented candles are an inexpensive and charming gifts that can evoke strong emotional reactions and thus affect how she feels (especially around you).


4. Romantic getaway
A romantic getaway will provide an opportunity for the woman in your life who is always busy with her mundane activities to spend some time in an entirely different atmosphere that is relaxing and soothing to the mind.


5. Spa treatments
What woman wouldn't enjoy a day of pampering and being treated like a queen? Spa packages and treatments make great gifts for a woman, especially for one who could use some relaxation.


6. Body care kits
Women can never have enough beauty products, so get her a set of sensational body care, glamorous makeup and beauty goodies she can use.


7. Designer handbags
You can't go wrong with a designer handbag. It is the most useful and personal accessory a girl could possess, so if you plan to buy a purse for the lady in your life, you should know her personal preferences. You can figure that out by paying attention to what she’s carrying now.


8. Perfume
Perfumes or fragrances are always sure to make her happy; however, you really need to know a woman well before you head to the perfume counter and successfully choose a winner on your own. If you are not sure what type of scent to get her, during a casual conversation find out what kind of perfume she wears or do a little snooping on your own.


9. Diamond jewelry
Believe it when you hear the old cliche', "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Whether it's a simple pair of diamond stud earrings or a more elaborate piece, every woman loves to receive diamond jewelry; however, because this type of jewelry is often expensive and can be easily shown off, it's usually reserved for serious relationships.


10. Bathrobe
An ordinary robe might seem like a boring gift, but selecting a luxurious one for her made from materials ranging from cozy terry and fleece to soft knits can make this a gift she'll be able to lounge in and enjoy all year round.

8 Signs She's a Gold Digger

Every guy likes to wine and dine his woman, but when extravagance and material possessions become the focal point, one has to question whether the relationship is based on genuine love or just money. If you are suspicious that the woman you are dating is more interested in your wallet than you, here are 8 warning signs that your girlfriend is a gold digger.


1. She only suggests expensive gifts, trips, restaurants, etc.
A gold digger will turn her nose up at heartfelt, sentimental gifts because she is eager for gifts that are caked with money and expects nothing less than 4 star accommodations and food venues, shopping at designer stores and exotic vacations.


2. She has temper tantrums when you don't buy her things
A gold digger has the emotional age of a child and will not hesitate throwing a tantrum when things don't go her way--especially when you refuse to buy something for her or give her more money.


3. She's overly concerned about your financial status
A gold digger is interested in hearing about your career and financial status from day one. She is a very manipulative woman who pretends to be interested in you by asking questions about your occupation so she can discover your job title, measure your earnings' potential and ensure that you have plenty of income to spend on her and support her lifestyle.


4. She never pays for anything
When it comes time to pick up the check for a dinner, a movie or just about anything else the two of you are undertaking-- she is nowhere to be found. If you are the one who is constantly shelling out money in the relationship, that should be your sign that she's just using you.


5. She feels entitled
A gold digger will walk around feeling entitled to the good life without feeling any need to lift a finger to achieve it. Since she craves status and doesn’t have long-term goals, the gold digger expects to drive a brand new car with luxury features and wear $500 shoes without feeling any need to earn her own money to achieve it. This type of high-maintenance woman feels that it's her right to be able to pursue her big dreams at the expense of financial stability, and, coincidentally, hasn't considered who will foot the bill.


6. She attempts to trap men into pregnancy
Everybody knows that unless a woman decides to artificially inseminate herself, conceiving a child takes is a two person act and if you decide to have unprotected sex with a woman, then you should be man enough to accept the consequences. However, a gold digger will insist on having unprotected sex and will use lines like "I can't feel it with the condom on, just take it off" and attempt to use guilt trips on you, i.e., "If you love me, why do you need a condom?"

A gold digger hopes to get pregnant so she can use it to her financial advantage as she sees kids as a lifelong financial insurance policy. She will intentionally stop using her birth control without you knowing and will even go as far as tampering with condoms prior to intercourse, i.e., putting a pin through her boyfriend's condom package without him ever suspecting it.


7. She heavily relies on others
A gold digger knows that you don't want to see her get an eviction notice, or get her car repossessed, and you're a good person who will always be in a position to help, right? Wrong. There's a big difference between someone who's just fallen on bad times and a woman that completely relies on others for fulfilling her costs of living and purchasing needs.


8. She lacks any career aspirations
A gold digger will avoid the subject of getting a job and demonstrate that she has no intention of ever developing a career outright even she is perfectly capable of doing so.

Top 10: Signs She'll Make a Bad Wife

If you’re thinking of asking your girlfriend to become your wife, deciding if you’re ready to make the commitment to marriage is only half the battle. You have to be absolutely sure that the woman in your life is someone you’ll be happy spending time with day in and day out. Love alone is not enough to make a marriage work, and certain characteristics are warning signs for a troubled marriage down the road. Here are some of the most obvious signs that your girlfriend is not marriage material.


1. She cuts you off from loved ones
A girlfriend who always becomes sick when it's time to spend quality time with your family and even forbids you from hanging out with your friends will only act worse after you say your vows.


2. She bails on you when times get toughLife isn’t always a bowl of cherries, but that doesn't mean that the woman in your life should just disappear when the times get tough. If your girlfriend is not supportive of you emotionally through difficult times and only stands by you when things are going good, she's not the one you should be walking down the aisle with.


3. She displays psychotic behaviors 
A woman who breeds chaos, misunderstanding and insanity might not be the best person to swear your undying loyalty to. If she displays severe psychological problems now, imagine what kind of influence her crazy and irrational behaviors will have on your future. Marrying a woman like this will most likely ruin your life and your perception of women forever.


4. She's too clingy
If your girlfriend can’t go anywhere or do anything without you, calls you twenty times a day and destroys any chance of you missing her because because the two of you are never apart, she’s going to make a bad wife.

 
5. She has nothing going on for herself
You should want to marry a woman who has goals and brings something better to your life, not one who is up to her neck in debt, has no income, displays unpredictable behaviors and has tried numerous, short-lived career paths yet never knows what she wants in life. This type of fickle lifestyle could derail your own life plan as well.


6. She's controlling
If your girlfriend controls all of your conversations, constantly forces you into agreeing with her and acts as an overbearing, emotional bully, it’ll only get worse after you say "I do."


7. She's already cheated on you
Do you honestly believe that a woman is marriage material if she has been unfaithful to you while you were dating? Yes, a person can always change and learn from their mistakes; however, a cheating girlfriend will more than likely continue to be unfaithful after marriage.


8. Her libido doesn't match yours
Another sign that she'll make a bad wife is if her libido differs wildly from yours. The way you relate to each other in the bedroom has a big influence on whether the two of you will stay together after wedding vows are exchanged, so it’s best to work this out before you walk down the aisle.


9. She's extremely jealous
Although a little bit of jealousy is essential for a healthy relationship, extreme jealousy arises in a relationship because of high levels of insecurity. If your girlfriend is jealous of every girl who comes near you, refuses to accept that you have female friends and feels threatened when you discuss your previous relationships, putting a ring on her finger is not going to make her more secure.


10. She can't admit when she's wrong
If she always seems to have the upper hand in arguments, refuses to admit her faults or even treat you as an equal, she's not the marrying kind.

Traits of High Maintenance Women

High maintenance women are those who need many things (money, material goods, affection) to be happy. They possess an almost obsessive attention to detail that extends beyond their person, to their homes, their pets, and yes, even their men. So, how can you distinguish whether or not the girl you thought was the best catch ever is really a prima donna behind closed doors? Read on to learn the 4 essential traits these demanding gals possess.

1. They always look like a million bucks

High maintenance women are obsessed with all aspects of their personal appearance and put great effort into looking great at all times; however, the worst pitfall to dating these women is dealing with their vanity. Sure, their fascination with their own looks means that whenever they step out of the house, they look perfect. But guess what? They know they look perfect and for every hour of showing off, they'll spend another 8 hours on upkeep and repair behind the scenes, e.g., very expensive decorated fingernails, makeup, hair weaves and extensions.

2. They are incredibly materialistic
High maintenance women demand the best of all these things. They expect nothing less than 4 star accommodations and food venues, shopping at designer stores and exotic vacations. These gold diggers will only settle with a man that can offer them status and recognition and they are eager for gifts that are caked with money instead of sentimental value. They tend to focus more on the luxuries of the BMW you're driving rather than the trip you're embarking on and will take notice of the thread count of your sheets rather than your body lying on top of them.

3. They require constant attention and reassurance
High maintenance women are overly dramatic and can be emotionally draining to their partners because of the unreasonable amounts of romance, non-stop attention and reassurance they require. If you're not able to keep up the level of attention and compliments they demand and someone else better comes along, they will jump ship.


4. They have Princess Syndrome
High maintenance women walk around feeling entitled to the good life without feeling any need to lift a finger to achieve it. Most high maintenance women have the belief that the world revolves around them and are quick to reject those they feel are beneath them or whom they perceive as having low status. In relationships, they believe that they are too delicate to perform certain tasks and will often flat out refuse to carry their share of the load.

5 Ways to Improve Your Attractiveness

Is there any hope for you becoming more attractive to the opposite sex if you don't have extremely good looks, lots of money or a fancy car? Yes, if you're willing to make a couple of changes in your lifestyle and put in a little effort to show that you are a well-rounded person who is worth getting to know. While there are a hundred things you can do to make yourself a better person, here are our top 5 ways to become a more attractive guy.

1. Get in shape

Although your body isn’t the only thing that's going to get you the girl, it will surely help. Your body deserves to be treated correctly, so eat properly and begin a regimen of cardio with weight-bearing exercises that engage your major muscle groups to make your muscles look ultra-toned.


2. Take care of your teeth
Not taking care of your teeth can drastically change your appearance and cause you to lose you more women than you’ll ever know. All women find a healthy set of teeth and gums attractive, so brush your teeth regularly with whitening toothpaste, floss every night, get your teeth cleaned regularly by a dentist and invest in home whitening kits.


3. Improve your wardrobe
You’d be surprised what a couple of new threads will do for your confidence and your attractiveness with the ladies. So get some new outfits, particularly more body-conscious clothing that skims your body (but isn't skin-tight) and gives the impression of broader shoulders and a slimmer torso.


4. Improve your scent
The scent of a man is really important to women, and finding the right cologne to complement your lifestyle can enhance your presence in a room or group and also cause women to think of you as that great-smelling guy they have to have. Choose a base scent you feel comfortable wearing that also accentuates your own unique style and personality--just make sure that you don't use too much.


5. Improve your social skills
It doesn't matter what kind of individual you are, you could always learn new skills that would make you more attractive and your character much more appealing. Start by being friendlier with others, smiling more and improving your eye contact with people. Furthermore, by taking more chances, showing up at more social functions and becoming more cultural, you'll be able to build and share connections and relationships with people, and women will be attracted to your personality and will want to be seduced by you.

8 Signs She's Lost Interest in You

Has your girlfriend suddenly started acting differently around you? Have you been trying to understand her actions but just can't seem to figure them out? Well, the reason she's been acting differently may be because she is losing interest in you.



In our article the 5 Signs She's Not Into You, we examined signs of a woman's low interest level in the early dating stages. But what about when you've been together for a while? If you see that your girlfriend exhibits any of the following warning signs, you have reason to be concerned.





1. She puts her girlfriends ahead of you

All women are entitled to a girl's night out here and there with their girlfriends, but if spending time with their girlfriends has begun to take priority over you and she consistently leaves you at home to gallivant in nightclubs, she is definitely losing interest in you.





2. She avoids public affection with you

If your girlfriend has allowed you to kiss her or hold her hand in public in the past and suddenly begins rejecting your advances or moves away from you without an obvious reason, you have reason to worry about her interest level in the relationship.





3. She's lost interest in sex (with you)

If she has suddenly become bored by your performance in bed and you're rarely hitting the sheets anymore, she may be wishing for someone else to rub her the right way.





4. She starts fights with you

If she has all of a sudden noticeably lowered her tolerance level for your little mistakes, constantly picks fights and turns every little thing into an argument or a disagreement, chances are her interest level has lowered and she is probably unhappy about the way your relationship is going.





5. She shows interest in other guys

If you notice your girlfriend openly checking out other guys and flirting with other men while you're right there beside her, it could be her way of sending you a subtle message that she's shopping around for another man.





6. She's put distance between you

A woman who is in a happy relationship always makes time for her partner. So if all of a sudden you don't see your girlfriend for a week or more and when she does answer your calls, she is busy and is always in a rush to get off the phone with you, something is definitely wrong.Take this as hint that she wants time apart to explore what it feels like to be away from you.

7. She's no longer affectionate toward you

If she just sits there and does nothing when you attempt to touch her and caress her or you're always the one who initiates the hand holding or hugs first, a breakup may be impending.

8. She begins saying “I” instead of “we”

If you feel like your girlfriend hardly talks, doesn’t contribute much to the conversations you have your and she starts to use “I” instead of “we” when talking about the future, this means that she does not see a future with you in it anymore.

Top 10: Signs You're Too Nice

From the time we were infants, our parents told us to “be nice.” For the most part, it’s good advice; however, in a relationship, some men become too considerate, too helpful and too kind in an effort to seemingly align their lives with a woman’s wishes. Don't be one of them.

Women appreciate a gentleman, but they don't respect pushovers and they don't feel attraction for "nice" guys who always kiss up to them. Here are 10 signs that you’re too nice.

  
1. You give too many compliments
Women love compliments, but if you make too many or too big a compliment, most women won't believe you and will wonder what you are trying to sell them.
 

2. You're too understanding
Constantly trying to understand a woman's point of view as she walks all over you isn't being tolerant; it's being spineless and allowing yourself to be a doormat. Yes, being unfailingly understanding and considerate towards a woman may keep you in a relationship (for a short time) and prevent arguments and clashes with her, but it won't gain her respect and admiration.

 
3. You're always available
Always being available makes women think that you don't have a life of your own and actually lessens your own attractiveness, making you far less desirable.


4. You're always buying her gifts
Even though the thought is nice, the concept of constantly showering a woman with gifts will begin to lose its meaning and eventually she will become less thrilled and even annoyed receiving them.


5. You agree with everything she says
Guys that are too nice agree with everything a woman says, thinking that's what she wants. In reality, women want someone who is going to stimulate their minds and challenge them.


6. You let her choose everything
Not all of us like to make decisions, and deferring to your woman is OK sometimes; however, letting her call all the shots about EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE you go is not good. Women are not turned on by men they can completely control and you do your relationship a good bit of damage when you show yourself to be indecisive.


7. You always pay for everything
With the traditional etiquette of a gentleman, guys have always been taught that paying a woman's way is the right thing to do; however, paying for stuff shouldn't always be left to one person. You don't have to split everything down the middle, but there does come a time in a relationship when the financial load should be shared.

 
8. You're too accommodating
Being helpful is one thing, but if you get in the habit of doing every little thing for her whenever she wants, she'll come to expect having her own butler and chauffeur around on a regular basis -- not a boyfriend. If running an errand is convenient for you, help her out by all means. But don't be afraid to put your foot down either.


9. You're too respectful in the bedroom
While every woman appreciates a gentleman, there are certain arenas in which you can be too respectful, particularly in the bedroom. Yes women deserve respect and they want you to be delicate with them for the most part; however, in the bedroom, women appreciate spontaneity, assertiveness and a sense of adventure and passion.


10. You're too interested in her
Becoming more interested in a woman's life than your own will ultimately make her bored with you. Yes, you want to take an interest in her career, her hobbies, etc...but it's a bad sign if you abandon all of your aspirations, neglect your interests and bail on your friends just so you can concentrate all of your energy on her.
