<h2>Are Women Naturally Attracted to Funny Guys?</h2>
<p><strong>by Maxwell Durden</strong></p>
<p>Are women naturally attracted to funny guys? To guys that watch as women repeatedly completely fall for guys who make them laugh, it will certainly seem this way. Even So, there is more to the picture than what is apparent.</p>
<p>We've all heard of <a class="zem_slink" title="Flirting" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flirting">flirting</a>, but let me tell you what flirting really is. Flirting is simply the union of <a class="zem_slink" title="Humour" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour">humor</a> and seduction, and it is the true key to making women want you.</p>
<p>Why is flirting such a vital part of your interactions with women?</p>

<p>Never forget that flirting is the be-all and end-all of your interaction with a women. Without flirting, you are lost.<br />
I'll come back to that in a bit, but first allow me to explain why just being a funny guy isn't enough to attract women. At least, not in the way that you want to attract them.</p>
<p>Sure, a woman may enjoy a good sense of humor, but that doesn't mean that she is feeling any closer to the funny guy. If you make a women laugh outside of the context of flirting, then you will just make her your friend.</p>
<p>On the other hand, attempting to flirt with a woman in a non funny way is equally self-defeating. If you come on too strong to a woman without mixing humor into your approach, then you risk appearing threatening to her.</p>
<p>This is where it gets hard for most men. You have to learn to make it obvious that you are interested in a woman in a romantic or physical way without scaring her off. It definitely takes practice, but it is something that can be mastered by any man. And you know what? Learning how to do this is a lot of fun!</p>
<p>Most men fully realize that humor plays an important role in having positive interactions with women. However, what most men miss is that humor must be delivered a certain way. Most guys never dream in a million years that there is a right and a wrong way to use humor.</p>
<p>Buffoons are not attractive to good looking girls.</p>
<p>There are no more secrets. It is not humor that attracts girls. Humor is a major factor, but it is not the last word.<br />
Flirtatious humor is the tried and true way to appeal to and seduce more women.</p>

I tell you that I won't be home for dinner.<br />
I'll  go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card-playing<br />
when I want with my old buddies, and don't you<br />
give me a hard time about it.<br />
Those are my rules.</p>
<p>Any comments?"</p>
<p><strong>His new bride said: </strong><br />
"No, that's fine with me.  Just understand that there will be sex<br />
here at seven o'clock every night...whether you're here or not."</p>
<p><strong>(DARN SHE'S GOOD!)</strong></p>
<p>************************************************</p>
<h2>Marriage (Part II)</h2>
<p><strong>Husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary!<br />
</strong><br />
The husband yells, "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads, 'Here Lies My Wife -- Cold As Ever'!"</p>
<p>"Yeah?" she replies. "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads, 'Here Lies My Husband -- Stiff At Last'!"</p>
<p><strong>(HE ASKED FOR IT!)</strong></p>
<p>*****************************************</p>
<h2>Marriage (Part III)</h2>
<p><strong>Husband (a doctor) and his wife are having a fight at the breakfast table.</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Husband gets up in a rage and says, "And you are no good in bed either," and storms out of the house.</p>
<p>After some time he realizes he was nasty and decides to make amends and rings her up.</p>
<p>She comes to the phone after many rings, and the irritated husband says, "What took you so long to answer to the phone?"</p>
<p>She says, "I was in bed."</p>
<p>"In bed this early, doing what?"</p>
<p>"Getting a <a class="zem_slink" title="Second opinion" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_opinion">second opinion</a>!"</p>
<p><strong><br />
(YEP, HE HAD THAT COMING, TOO!)<br />
</strong><br />
*****************************************</p>
<h2>Marriage (Part IV)</h2>
<p><strong>A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. </strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife," Mother of Six" in spite of her objections.</p>
<p>One night, they go to a party.  The man decides that it IS time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well.  He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home Mother of Six?"</p>
<p>His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, "Any time you're ready, Father of Four."</p>
<p><strong>(RIGHT ON, LADY!)</strong></p>
<p>*****************************************</p>
<h2>The Silent Treatment</h2>
<p>A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.</p>
<p>Suddenly the man realized that the next day he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.</p>
<p>Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM."  He left it where he knew she would find it.</p>
<p>The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight.</p>
<p>Furious, he was about to go to see why his wife hadn't wakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.   The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM.  Wake up."</p>
<p><strong>Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.</strong></p>

<h2>Improve Your Marriage - A <a class="zem_slink" title="Book review" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_review">Book Review</a></h2>
<p>Something a little different from me today DSU Fans and Readers.  We are almost into 2010 - and as always we look forward with hope for a happier, healthier more satisfying year ahead.  So with that in mind I thought what better way to step into 2010.</p>
<p>Usually I am the one looking for and writing about the 'ridiculous and seriocomic' side of life and it's life-term inhabitants - but, after reading this book I felt it deserved to be shared with my readers, especially those of you who are in or planning to be in a serious one-on-one relationship.</p>
<blockquote><p>Being a fully decorated member of '<a class="zem_slink" title="The First Wives Club" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/First-Wives-Club-Bette-Midler/dp/6305182051%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D6305182051">The First Wives Club</a><strong>', </strong>I would implore anyone who is just married, thinking about getting married or that has been married for any length of time...please, oh please read <strong>'Improve Your Marriage : Don't Overlook The Obvious' </strong>and then keep it where you can pick it up at a moments notice to reference it.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3101" title="Improve Your Marriage1" src="http://dailyscrewups.com/wp-content/uploads/Improve-Your-Marriage-cover2.jpg" alt="Improve Your Marriage1" width="160" height="239" /></p>
<p>Everyone's <a class="zem_slink" title="Marriage" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage">marriage</a> needs a little help now and again. Even when things are going great, marriages can still hit on difficult times.</p>
<p>I have just finished reading what I consider to be a remarkable book that provides quick to the point and extremely practical advice about how to nurture and make the most out of your marriage relationship. It did occur to me however whilst reading it that, so practical are the ideas, statements and advice, it could be well used to enhance every type of human relationship.  Everyone should find some time to read this book.</p>
<p>The author, Russell A Irving, offers up a unique presentation of his thoughts and, as he puts it,common and not-so-common sense ideas and advice.  Although intended to be read in stages, be assured that Once you are several pages into it,you may well find that you can't put it down.  Russell also does a terrific job helping his readers to master the art of loving communication and cohabitation.</p>
<p><strong>Improve Your Marriage </strong>is a very approachable and easy read. Aside from being both practical and helpful, the book is uplifting.  It may well be the catalyst that teaches you, how to now fight the fight fairly, how to change your thought patterns and the current <a class="zem_slink" title="Rules of engagement" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_engagement">rules of engagement</a> that are influencing your marriage/relationship.</p>
<p>It should be mandatory reading before engaging in any relationship! You can get a copy of the book by visiting Russell's website at <strong><a href="http://www.dontoverlooktheobvious.com/" target="_blank">DontOverLookTheObvious.com</a></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If you do buy the book, when you have finished reading it please pop back here and let us know what you thought.

<p><strong>by Karyn Buxman</strong></p>
<p>Cancer.  It's not the type of thing you ask for -- usually.</p>
<p>Who'd want it? A life-changing, sometimes life-ending disease. Cancer's so scary that there are people who won't say the word aloud...but I was saying it regularly, begging God to let me be the one with cancer.  My son, a strong, smart, energetic 22-year-old junior at the University of Missouri, woke up one morning with an aching chest.  It turned out to be a malignant tumor, and the start of my most fervent prayers.  "Please. I've had a great life.  Let it be me -- not him."</p>
<p>I can't even describe that time in our lives accurately.  It went by in a blur -- and not the fast paced blur you enjoy while you rocket along the roller coaster's tracks, but a confusing, often terrifying inability to really understand and deal with what was going on.  There were months of chemo. He had surgery.  His hair fell out.</p>
<p>The boy who could empty a refrigerator in the blink of an eye now wouldn't eat  -- everything tasted metallic, and he had no appetite.  And through it all, we wondered: would he ever have a girlfriend, a family, a life...</p>
<p>I'd spent twenty years studying therapeutic humor.  I"d written about it, spoken on it, spent years of my life convincing colleagues, peers, and audience members that laughter plays an important role in our lives. Now, it was time to walk the walk.  It was hard, I won't kid you about that.  Finding something to laugh about during one of the toughest times in our lives sometimes required conscious effort.</p>
<p>Yet sometimes, thankfully, if we would just let it, it would just happen.  We'd find ourselves laughing at the situations life presented.  Humor was a saving grace for all of us.</p>
<p>There was a time for tears, but there was a time for laughter. Many times, actually.</p>
<p>Some of the best laughs came from David's roommates, who dubbed him Captain Cancer. One was a red-headed Italian color-blind art student. She saw Davids newly bald head as a marvelous canvas and begged to decorate it with colorful markers.</p>
<p>He also found support at work.  He worked as a bouncer at a local bar.  The man he worked the door with was known as Tonto, and my son was The Lone Ranger.</p>
<p>Following one of his treatments, a bunch of his buddies visited the bar. Afterward, David announced his new nickname, bestowed by his friends: Chemo-sabi!</p>
<p>Many patients long for humor during their healing process.</p>
<p>Allen Klein, author of The Healing Power of Humor, surveyed patients who were terminally ill about their feelings about humor.  A vast majority (80%!) wished to laugh more. They wanted more humor -- from the people around them.  They also wanted the freedom to use humor themselves.</p>
<p>Humor can be used proactively, to help heal both the body and the spirit. To do this, you can:</p>
<p><strong>Play:  Make a Play List.</strong> This is a list of 10 low or no-cost things that are fun for you. Then, when you're not feeling well, do something from the list. You dont wait until you feel better to play. You play and then you feel better.</p>
<p>Make sure you have a stock of toys"Magic 8 balls, Koosh toys, whatever makes you smile"available.</p>
<p><strong>Surround yourself with pre-packaged laughs.</strong> Collecting funny books, magazines, movies and cartoons is a great way to keep the humor going. Ask people to tell you their funniest story or most embarrassing moment.  Save jokes and funny stories.<br />

<p><strong>Choose to surround yourself with people who share your appreciation of humor.</strong> The world is full of serious, downbeat folks who view the world through mud-colored glasses. Leave them alone, as much as possible: that type of mood is contagious, and you don't want to catch it!  Ask people to make you laugh -- and do your best to make them laugh. Surround yourself with joy as often as possible.</p>
