Can you tell if someone is can be a cheat by reading their body language?
Posted by: | Comments
Not definitely. Even the best readers of body language will agree that the reading of body language is not a hard and fast guide. Body language can only give a clue, or series of clues, as to people’s true intentions; they should not solely form belief, only suspicions/opinions

Most men do not realise that women send subtle body language clues to men they are interested and attracted too.
Women also expect you to act on their flirting clues and signals. If a man does not act on a signal from the women, she could will see him as gutless and a wimp. Women, like a man that sees them as a sexual creature and is confident in his self and his sexuality.
The big advantage of becoming aware of a women’s body language is that it can help you avoid rejection. You will avoid being rejected if you only ask a women out who has indicated from her body language that she is interested in you.
Simple hey!
Getting rejected by an attractive women is not a very nice feeling and it can damage your self confidence. Having good self confidence and a good self image is very important when talking to a women as she can read this easily in your body language.
Most women are expert in reading men’s body language. In a few seconds a women can tell if a man is worth getting to know.
The more flirting signals the women sends, the more reliable the message of attraction. One body language clue is generally not a reliable signal. One needs to look for group of body language signals. Generally they will come in groups of five.
So what are some flirting signals that most women tend to use.
The first is hair touching or playing with her hair. The hair toss is a great one to watch for. To see an example of this , look at some TV commercials to see the hair toss in action.
Another way of telling you if she is interested is to look at how she sits. If she stands or sits with her crotch straight at you, this is a good sign.
Touching you is a great sign and moving closer and leaning into you when you are talking is a big plus.
Strong eye contact with bedroom eyes is a very good indication of attraction. Another is showing her breasts in some way. E.g. putting her arm under them to make the cleavage or leaning forward so you can see them.
Smiling at you and licking her lips and tilting her head as she talks are other body language signals.
Check out some TV ads and you will see the woman actors using the above signs of flirting body language signals! Also movies are a great way of learning body language as the actors are skilled at this aspect in their craft. It is good to look at the male actors too and see how they express their masculinity.
Women leave many of flirting signals when they are interested in a man. And the more signals they leave for you, the better is the chance that they really like you.
Have fun checking out women’s flirting sigmals. You will be at a big advantage to other men if you start to tune in to the subtle clues.

Is it Confidence or Size for a Better Female Orgasm
Posted by: | Comments
Confidence or size – which is more important? I’m sure you’ve asked this question before: Does size really matter?
Some women say yes, while others say no. The truth is most women will never agree. In fact, it’s not a matter of who’s right or wrong, but more about personal preference.
I say size has little to do with sexual satisfaction; confidence is the key to getting noticed by women and performing your best. Today, you will learn all the sexy secrets behind confidence; why it’s more important than penis size, how to fake confidence, and how to have sexual confidence even if you’re below average in size.
Get ready to learn about the sexiest tool ever: confidence!
Does size matter?
Although most women can’t agree if size matters, research revealed at the Kinney Institute confirms that most women have unreal expectations.
The Kinsey Institute in Indiana promotes interdisciplinary research in the fields of human sexuality, gender, and reproduction. Recently, they conducted a research on the average penis size and concluded the average penis size to be between 5 1/2 and 6 inches.This goes on to say that if the average penis size is merely 5 1/2 – 6 inches, than most women never experience sex with “King Kong.” So why all the hype for bigger penis size?
What this study means is that most women know what penis size to expect. Perhaps what should be considered is why the average penis size does not satisfy women. Is it really the size or other factors such as sexual skills and techniques? The fact is penis size has little to do with satisfying women, sexual satisfaction comes from personal confidence. Here’s why:
What is confidence?
Confidence is very sexy to women. It is the quality that distinguishes a boy from a man. Confidence is an attitude of control, self assurance, and cool. When a man is confident in himself, his abilities, and his performance, women no longer look to size for pleasure; they look to skill.
“How can I be confident if I’m below average?”
Just fake it. That’s right. If you act confident, you’ll start believing it. It’s a simple mind trick. Start walking with your head up, shoulders broad, smile softly and make eye contact with attractive women. Body language of confidence leads people to believe that you are confident.
Your attitude is also important. Studies have proven that, if you act as if you’re attractive, people will perceive you as attractive. Ever wonder why ugly guys wind up with beautiful women? The key is acting confident. Remember this the next time you see an average guy with a hot girl. Is she with him because of his looks or is he expressing an attitude of confidence?
Why confidence is more important than penis size
Does it really matter if your 5 inches or 7?
The truth is a woman’s vagina before arousal is narrow and shallow. The average depth of a woman’s vagina is 3 to 4 inches. When your penis enters her, it expands and deepens to fit. So no matter what your size is, her vagina will fit snugly around it.
Most men think a vagina is an open space. They’re wrong. Think of the vagina as if it were a balloon that is not filled with air. The walls, which have the potential to expand and elongate, gently touch one another. When something is placed inside, they mold around to accommodate the width and size; whether it is a penis, finger or sex toy. So after all, size doesn’t matter!
Perhaps, the real concern men should have is not their penis size, since any will do, but his ability to satisfy a woman. After all, penis size is just one of several factors involved in satisfying women. Men should devote their time and energy to these other factors, beginning with confidence.
How to have personal confidence
As mentioned above confidence starts with faking it. Learning the body language of confidence tricks yourself into believing you are and women into thinking you are utterly attractive. Here are three basic techniques to have women thinking you are sexy and confident.
Having a Confident Appearance
First impressions are extremely important. Psychological tests have proven that once a first impression is made, it is very hard for people to alter it later on. Since a first impression is a lasting one, you should always be well groomed everywhere you go.
Start with the essentials: hair, nails, and teeth. Even if your wardrobe needs help certain traits will pull you through such as having clean fingernails, groomed hair and white teeth. A woman appreciates a man who can take care of himself because it shows he is confident and values his appearance. Regular grooming techniques such as cleaning and cutting fingernails, styling hair, and whitening teeth should become a habit for men. Believe it or not, women look at these factors right away.
Hands
Single women look at a man’s hands first to spot a wedding band. If your nails are long or have dirt underneath them, she will be turned off right away. Don’t worry; you aren’t compromising your manhood by having nice hands, this works to your advantage. Since hands tell a lot about a man’s habits and lifestyle; manicured hands will have her thinking you are a successful white collared male who uses his mind to get the buck. Even if you aren’t a white collared guy, this is the first step to get women to believe you are smart, confident, and successful.
Hair
Next, is the hair. Hair unlike hands doesn’t need to be neat and perfect; it just has to look styled. Because every woman is different, there isn’t one specific haircut that will turn her on. Some women love bald men; others love men with long hair. Whatever the odds, a man’s hair should look styled. A confident man knows this. If his hair is long, it is done so intentionally; not because he missed several haircut appointments. Also, men going for the “messy look” should distinguish it from embarrassing bed head. All in all, women should know the difference between intentional hair styles and just plain laziness.
Teeth
Finally, the most important behavioral trait confident people demonstrate is smiling. Confident people are happy; they are in control of their lives and are successful. You don’t see confident people angry or sad; they are cool and collective. Confident people walk tall, make eye contact when they talk, and smile. This doesn’t mean you have to walk around with a huge grin on your face; but you should smile softly at people you meet.
Like wise, you should do your best to reveal a charming smile; do so by whitening your teeth. There are several over the counter teeth whiteners and bleaches. The most popular are Crest White Strips; they are clean and easy to use.
How to have sexual confidence
Most men believe sexual confidence is more important that personal confidence. For them, if a man is sexually confident in bed, then he will demonstrate this confidence in his personality. I disagree. Confidence is a state of mind that is first practiced in your personal life then integrated into your sexual performance. Nonetheless, men concerned with their size wonder:
How can I be confident with my small size?
The answer just as before is fake it. Just as you fake confidence, men can fake penis size. This helps men attain sexual confidence.
Here’s how:
Penis Confidence
These solutions are rubbed onto the penis before sex. They work instantly to promote genital blood flow. The result is a harder, longer, stronger erection. Other products work to sensitize a woman’s vagina so that your penis feels incredibly pleasurable to her. They also promote genital blood flow and make orgasms easier for her to achieve. Now, you won’t have to worry if your size is adequate to make her scream.
As mentioned before, there are several factors beside penis size needed to satisfy a woman. Men should learn several techniques such as pleasing women orally or with sex toys. You can reference my latest article Sex Toys 101 to discover the hot steamy world of sex toys.
Finally, I would like to remind men how incredibly important and sexy confidence is. Confidence is what gets you noticed. If you aren’t noticed, you don’t exist. How can you please women if they won’t even look at you? Confidence is the key to having her intrigued and wanting to experience sex with you. There are some excellent ebooks available for instant download that can provide you with specific exercises and tips to boost your confidence — or to fake it when you aren’t feeling it.
Put my advice into use; work on your confidence today so that you can be the man of a woman’s dreams!

Confident Non-verbal Communication
Posted by: | Comments
Your non-verbal communication which is more frequently but narrowly referred to as body language, is a universally overlooked area to improve your confidence in communication and general self-perception. The majority of people aim to build their confidence but rarely consider the power of communicating confidence non-verbally.
If you’d like to improve your confidence around women then you have even more reason to read this article. Women love a confident man and they are extremely adept in picking up non-verbal signals. They will pick-up your non-verbal signals that you wouldn’t even have a clue about.
You need to have high self-awareness in order to be aware of your body language. It’s a matter of knowing what you do in certain situations. When you have poor body language others can see fear in you.
Here are four examples of body language that is counter-productive in developing confidence and how you can solve them to not only communicate more powerfully but to internalize the confidence:
1. Moving eye contact – people with low confidence levels rarely make eye contact and when they do, as soon as the other person returns that eye contact the person looks away. You do not look silly looking the other person in the eyes. In fact, you look weirder and would be annoying the other person more so when you do not make eye contact.
Good eye contact will show the person you are listening and that you are interested in what they have to say. However, you can have too much of a good thing. Excessive eye contact is non-verbal aggression. Dr. Peter Andersen, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Body Language, says you will make the other person feel comfortable with about 60% eye contact.
With practice I found that you will develop an intuition or ‘gut-feeling’ when you make the other person uncomfortable. As an example when you make to much eye contact, they’ll begin to not make eye contact with you or maybe fidget. At the moment, too much eye contact probably isn’t your concern as you’re trying to develop confident body language but you still should be aware of the problems with excessive eye contact.
2. Weak touch – otherwise known as haptics, touch involves bodily contact. What haptics we are interested in to develop confident non-verbal communication is mostly the handshake. You will rarely use any other haptics other then a handshake in a normal social situation. It’s not as if you normally go around patting people on the back or stroking their arm. That’s just strange!
What did you feel when someone shook you’re hand with a soft handshake? I bet you wondered if they cared about you at all or if they lacked confidence to show this concern. This is a ‘girly touch’. A good handshake depends on the receiving person. Most of the time you want a firm handshake but occasionally with say the elderly you don’t want to be crushing their hand! When greeting ladies be aware that they don’t have gigantic and hard hands like many men so just go a little less firm. A firm handshake shows you care and is an initial way of communicating confidence when meeting someone.
3. Stay away – looking at body positions relative to one another now otherwise known as proxemics. What I mean by “relative to one another” is the distance between you and the other person. You are most comfortable with an intimate or well known person being close to you as opposed to someone you just met. However, people with low confidence will have a much wider radius of comfort. A more confident person will not show fear when someone “breaks” their comfortable proxemics. This doesn’t mean they are comfortable with the closeness, it just means they don’t show the uncomfortably. They desire the other person to stay away but they cope with the situation.
An excellent example of this that I can remember is two Australian Politicians on October 8 the eve of the 2004 federal election. John Howard was greeted by opposition leader Mark Latham aggressively. While Mark Latham did pull John Howard towards him when shaking hands (aggressive haptics), Latham made his body position aggressive by being extremely close and towering over the shorter John Howard. Despite this, Mr. Howard non-verbally stood his ground in confidence by continuing the handshake and smiling towards the cameras. I’m sure John Howard would have felt uncomfortable but he still gave out signs of confidence.
It was said Latham attempted to get revenge for Howard squeezing his wife’s hand too hard at a press function which I found to be funny! If only they were both able to read this!
4. Carry yourself – the last non-verbal communication technique I feel is valuable in developing confidence is kinesics. It involves body movement. Possibly the most important kinesics in confidence is posture. A slouched posture not only screams an unconfident person, but it has a physical and psychological effect on the person with the poor posture. The physical effect of slouching your shoulders forward is it causes your chest to compress inwards. Your chest compressing simulates expelling air causing you to breathe shallowly. This means if you have poor posture you will have poor breathing.
The psychological effect of poor posture is poorer confidence. Using arguably the world’s best golfer Tiger Woods as an example, he’s taught to maintain good posture as he approaches each shot. By having good posture he is able to breathe correctly and physically get his body into the right state of confidence. From this his mind is able to focus on the shot ahead.
I know once golfer’s lose this state of confidence through poor posture, the affects are surprisingly strong. The golfer’s chest begins to tighten and everything heightens. They then lose their state of control, calmness, and confidence causing poor performance.
The same relates to everyday life. To practice a confident posture, roll your shoulders forward, upwards, and then back down to almost complete a circle. Watch your shoulders as you rotate them and if they are behind to what they were prior to doing the activity and you are comfortable, you’ve done the activity correctly.
Having learnt about these areas of non-verbal communication, all that’s left to do is practice your new skills. Do not make the mistake of no action. Your self development will not progress forward until you move forward. Go out and practice your confident non-verbal communication skills.

British Sign Language: 6 Quick Facts for Beginners
Posted by: | Comments
In the last few years, there has been an increasing amount of interest in British Sign Language (BSL). Here are 6 quick facts for the beginner and newbies to BSL:
Quick fact 1:
The sign language used in England and the UK is known as British Sign Language (BSL). It is the first language of approx. 150,000 deaf people in the British Isles. There are also many thousands of people who are not deaf who BSL such as employers of deaf people, relatives/friends and interpreters.
Quick fact 2:
British Sign Language has its own grammar which uses facial expressions, hand shapes and upper body movements to convey meaning. BSL is a spatial and visual language and a lot of beginners think it is similar to mime (which it is not). The important thing to remember is that the grammar used in BSL is completely different to those used in everyday English.
Quick fact 3:
Even though Britain and the U.S.A. speak English as the first language of their respective countries, British Sign Language is different to American Sign Language, also known as ASL. Again, it is also the the same difference with BSL and Irish Sign Language (ISL) and Northern Ireland Sign Language (NISL). This fact demonstrates that even though these countries have English as the first language, the sign language used varies from country to country.
Quick fact 4:
Users of British Sign Language successfully campaigned the government of the United Kingdom and made BSL into an officially recognized British language back in March 2003. British Sign Language is now recognized on the same level as other languages of the United Kingdom such as Scottish, Welsh and Gaelic. But to this present day, BSL has no legal protection.
Quick fact 5:
Just as in the English language, British Sign Language also has regional dialects. As an example, some signs used in the Northern parts of England may have difficulty being understood in the south of the country and vice versa. And what is even more confusing is that some signs are ‘local signs’ which are understood in only certain towns. For example, some of the BSL used in Manchester is so local that it is not understood outside of the city. Think of it as local ‘slang’. And just like local slang in any town or city, new phrases and words come in and out of fashion or just evolve over time.
Quick fact 6:
After reading the facts above, you may think that British Sign Language is difficult to learn. Well the good news is that learning BSL is not as difficult as you may think. Just like learning any other French, Spanish, Japanese or any other language, the hardest part is just getting started. There are many resources for learning BSL. Some are easy to grasp and some are impossible to follow! One of the easier ones out there is a tutorial DVD which can be found at easy-bsl.com but there are also many other different resources both online and offline which are worth researching. If you have any difficulty in finding one to suit you, drop me a line and I will be more than happy to assist you.
Some of the Few Common Sign Language Certifications Being Awarded
Posted by: | Comments
A sign language which is also known as signed language is a language which uses manual communication, body language and lip movements instead of sound to express meaning. The sign language is the one simultaneously combining hand movements, body and facial expressions to convey the speaker’s thoughts.
Sign languages is the well-known way of communication for people who are deaf. Communities like this include interpreters and friends and families of deaf people as well as people who are deaf or the people having some hearing difficulties.
Normally, each spoken language contains a sign language counterpart in as much as each linguistic resident will contain Deaf people who will generate a custom sign language. In much the same way that geographical or cultural factors will separate populations and lead to the generation of different and diverse spoken languages, the same forces work on signed languages. Due to which the identities of such sign languages is maintained through time even though the local spoken languages might influence them.
This happens even though sign languages have no basic relation to the spoken languages of the lands in which they arise. There are prominent exceptions to this pattern, however, there are a few geographically divided regions that share a spoken language as opposed to signed languages that are not rlated with each other. Variations occurring within a national sign language can usually be connected to the geographic location of residential schools for the deaf.
Completing an interpreter course is not enough to become a certified interpreter. You must be fully knowledgeable with the language apart from the culture of that language and ethics that are involved for being an interpreter in order to receive the National Interpreter Certification (NIC).
The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf or the RID and the National Association of the Deaf -the NAD were the two organizations which developed the NIC test.; candidates are awarded this certificate on successful clearing of this test which assesses their efficiency and language skills.
Some states have brought statewide sign language certifications that assess the interpreter’s skills and ability. Theere are high testing standards and widespread practical experience is usually needed before trainees are able to pass this course.
Some of the few common sign language certifications being awarded are as follows. CSC is the ability to understand or record both between spoken or written English and American Sign Language based on a sign code for spoken or written English. CI/CT indicates capability in interpretation between American Sign Language and spoken English.
SC: L is the Specialty sign language certification which is issued for Legal Interpreting. IC/TC is the ability to understand between American Sign Language and spoken or written English. TC is the capability to transliterate between a sign code for English and spoken or written English. NAD-Level IV for advanced people is the excellent voice-to-sign skills and above average sign-to-voice skills, demonstrates understanding skill needed for just about all situations.

Religion in French Feminist Thought Critical Perspectives
Posted by: | CommentsReligion in French Feminist Thought brings together previously unpublished essays by leading scholars in the field of religious studies who use French feminist writings as important resources in their work. This collection is distinguished by its consideration of such major French feminist thinkers as Helene Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Catherine Clement, and Monique Wittig, as well as by its focus on questions concerning religion, divinity, and ethics. The essays in this collection address such topics as: the language of \”the sacred\” and \”the divine\” in Jewish and Catholic theologies; the relation between religious discourse and the female body; the repression of the maternal within the Judeo-Christian tradition; the interplay between the complex processes of subjectivity and divinity; and the place of \”desire\” in the major religious traditions of western culture. Other areas of discussion include: the ethical paradigms of the Judeo-Christian tradition, critically assessed; traditional religious symbologies and ritual practices; and the possibility for re-imagining patriarchal conceptions of divinity by way of an examination of ancient goddess traditions. These essays offer interpretive overviews of key religious concepts in the work of the major French feminists, as well as providing critical engagements with that work. On the whole, \”Religion in French\” \”Feminist Thought\” underscores the ways in which French feminist thought has already become a valuable tool in feminist efforts to rethink religion and theology, and suggests that French feminism will continue to be an important resource for religious studies for years to come.
