I recently did some research on the ‘net. I found tons of
information written by lots of guys giving an advice to other
guys on “how to pick up girls.”
Some of the methods were pretty good, some were so-so, and some
methods sounded desperate and even ridicules. I couldn’t help
myself but laugh.
To make it even more interesting, some guys even wrote books on
how to pick up girls. I didn’t buy any of the books because I
was expecting pretty much the same or similar information as the
information available for free.
So, I thought I was going to write an article on how to pick up
girls from my experience. I never had problems dating the girls
that I wanted to date. But then, I changed my mind at the last
minute.
Instead, I want to ask all single women and even married and
engaged, to tell the guys their darkest secrets.
Girls, tell us (the guys) what does it take to win your heart?
What kind of a guy are you looking for? Tell the guys so they
don’t have to guess any more.
I put a survey together for you to tell us your desires. Also,
free gifts are waiting for you - including a secret bonus - just
for sharing your darkest secrets.

Until recently you may have been enjoying the illusion of a
secure job, only to get involuntarily thrown overboarddrifting
back to the shore of resume revision while brushing up on
interview skills.
With things a bit rocky, the time is right to shine the
searchlight on your career and make sure that you are on the
right course for who you are todaynot for who you have been in
the past. See this time as one of possibility, an opportunity
for personal and professional transformation. George Sand, the
female French writer and novelist, said, “One changes from day
to day . . . every few years one becomes a new being.” In
today’s world, this is more true than ever.
Making a major life change does not happen in an afternoon. Even
if you have just been handed a pink slip, do not jump into the
first career boat that comes by. Take a little time to assess
what you want to do and where you want to be.
Career shifts are a major life transition and should be treated
as such. To ease this transition and gain clarity and confidence
when deciding which direction to pursue, do the following:
Zap the Time Zappers You have to make your career transition the
top priority in your life. You may have to say “no” to volunteer
activities, some family responsibilities and other things that
take up the time you need to focus on you.
Get on Your Side Stop beating yourself up for what happened
yesterday. Instead, get into action and begin to figure out
where you want to go. Start taking steps to get there.
Be Strategic When choosing your next career move, ask what
industry you want to work in, what kind of culture you want to
work in, what benefits you are looking for and what kind of
record a potential company has in promoting women. Interview any
company that interviews you.
Start with the Simple There are things that are easy to do, such
as reading a book on your ideal career, doing some research on
the industry you are considering, having informal conversations
with a few of your contacts. Start with these activities to get
used to the idea of change; then begin the more challenging
activitiesredoing your resume, going on informational
interviews, participating in job shadowing.
Journal Ask yourself the important questions. What have you
learned from your recent work experience? What do you really
want? What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Would a
move to a different place bring other opportunities? What is the
best thing you can do for yourself?
Consult the Experts Invest time with career counselors, business
coaches and consultants. They will give you resources, advice
and strategies. Also, read books, go to seminars, surf the
Internet. Other perspectives are valuable because they are
objective and will assist you in making a decision you can be
confident about.
Talk to Headhunters Headhunters are a great resource for more
than just jobs. They know competitive salaries, hiring trends of
the industries they serve, what new job titles are being created
and which are becoming obsolete. The more headhunters you talk
to, the more current information you will have to help you make
an informed decision.
Conduct Informational Interviews If you know what you want to
do, talk to those who are already doing it. Ask them about the
“blood and guts” of their career activities, not just the
glamour and perks.
Get to Class Take classes to assess your skills and interests;
brush up on everything from Spanish to computer programming.
There are many educational resources out there that can increase
your chances of being successful.
Get Your Financial House in Order Get clear on your short- and
long-term financial goals, take stock of your living expenses,
and eliminate your debt. If you are insecure about your
finances, you may choose a new professional course too quickly
or stay where you are too long because you need the money. Make
your decision based on the merits of position or opportunity,
not because your coffers are low.
Tell Your Loved Ones How They Can Support You Let your partner,
friends and children know what support looks liketaking care of
dinner, allowing you time at the computer, picking you up from
class. Support would not involve asking you if you should
reconsider, suggesting you beg your boss for your job back or
wondering out loud if you should forget this silly nonsense.
Be Realistic What else is going on in your life? Will other
priorities take most of your energylike a newborn baby, a
rebellious teenager, a new marriage, an aging parent, or a
health challenge? A career transition will be very demanding
initially. It will require personal sacrifice.
Expect Success What we believe is what we experience. If you
expect it will be impossible for you to make a career move this
late in your career, you will prove yourself right. If you
believe your skill set is valuable anywhere, you will prove
yourself right. Believe in yourself and your ability to be
successful. It is unlikely you will take action if you think
your efforts will be wasted. Expect success.
Beth Orton, the singer-songwriter, said, “In life, there are no
regretsonly lessons we have not learned yet.” Making a career
shift has many lessons to offer you. If things do not work out
immediately, know you can always add a mid-course correction
later. Incorporate some of these ideas to support yourself in
creating a professional life that you find challenging,
invigorating and richly rewarding. You have the power to create
itand you deserve it.

For most men, the size of the penis is a measure of masculinity and one’s ability to satisfy another person sexually. Due to this, penis size can have a significant impact on your self-esteem and self-confidence. Having a smaller than average size penis can lead to feelings of anxiety and fear of intimacy.
Hundreds of studies and researches have been made to determine the average penis size. Here are some results:
Study #1
The Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for Sex Research
Year: 1948
Sample: 3500 white college males
Average penis length = 6.2 inches
Average penis girth = 4.9 inches
Comments: It is important to note that the information used in the survey was based on men who measured themselves. Only white males were included in the survey and they were all college students, so it did not represent a wide diversity of races or ages.
Study # 2
Durex Condoms
Year: 1980
Sample: 2,936 men from different countries
Average penis length = 6.4 inches
Average penis girth = 5.2 inches
Comments: Men were asked to measure themselves and then report their results online. The bulk of respondents were from the United States and the majority of participants were white.
Study # 3
LifeStyles Condomns
Year: 2001
Sample: 301 volunteers over 18 years old
Average penis length = 5.9 inches
Average penis girth = 5.0 inches
Comments: Each volunteer was measured by a researcher.
Study # 4
Brazilian Urologist
Sample: 150 Brazilian men
Average penis length = 5.7 inches
Average penis girth = 4.7 inches
Comments: Each volunteer was measured by a researcher.
One important conclusion is that volunteers may in fact exaggerate their own size when permitted to measure themselves.
So considering the results above, it would seem that the average erect penis measures between 5.7 and 6.4 inches in length and between 4.7 and 5.2 inches in circumference.
(note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 0.25 inch = 0.635 cm)
