How to Experience a Stress-Free Romantic Relationship
 |
| Patrick Mukasa |
According to journalist Patrick Mukasa, women who have surpassed the age of 26 tend to possess more resourcefulness and understanding and such qualities make them more suitable partners for men, especially those facing financial challenges.
Mukasa's perspective questions age and financial compatibility in relationships.
Patrick Mukasa, a Ugandan journalist, delivers a thought-provoking insight into alleviating financial stress by offering a rather unconventional piece of relationship advice.
According to Mr. Mukasa, one effective strategy for troubled men to find relief is to stay clear of dating women under 26.
“Materialistic stuff easily moved women in their early 20s, and a financially struggling man will end up poor trying to please such a lady,” said Mukasa. Cut your coat according to your size. However, Mukasa clarifies that his recommendation does not advocate pursuing relationships with sugar mummies.
Mukasa's words raised questions about age and money in relationships. Some people agreed with him while others strongly rejected the idea on the social network’s comment section:

"But they don't tell me their actual age, so how will I differentiate between a 26 and a 22-year-old?"
"It’s actually not about age if you ask me."
"But if fate lands you on a sugar mummy with pure intentions, why not?”
“You are correct."
"That gender fears nothing. Only God will save us, period."

One World Singles Blog asked people on a popular social network if a woman over 26 tends to possess more financial resources and understanding when it comes to having a stress-free romantic relationship. Following are some interesting thoughts that were edited for clarity:

“Of course, people learn as they age. However, no relationship exists that is completely stress-free. There is always negotiation, compromise, and sometimes tough conversations to be had, even in a perfect relationship.”
“No such thing. The only stress-free life is living alone and never taking risks. But when it's good, it's well worth the stress.”
“No relationship is ever entirely stress-free. Even being older than 26 or 36, there is stress. But in my experience, after 30, I put up with a lot less than I did in my 20s. Therapy helps.”
“No relationship is stress-free.”

Will she
capture his lawless heart and make him beg?
And, will his
touch heal her, or break her?
Govada Di Giordano is hell-bent on staying in the shadows…where his word is the law. He’s brutal, hot-blooded, menacing and… so tempting.
She was rash to think she could resist a man as intoxicating as sin, dripped
with arrogance, and ruled his underground world with an ironclad fist.
Obsessed with bringing down the Italian Mafia in Aregua, women's right
advocate, Sasi Quintero takes a huge risk. The stakes are high, taking her down
a dangerous dark road. There’s no turning back now as she comes face to face
with Govada Di Giordano. Tested and taunted by the man behind the mask, Sasi
must also face the darkness that lies within her when she finds herself
languishing as his prisoner.
No one crosses Govada Di Giordano, aka Pope, and lives to tell the story. When
Sasi strikes at the heart of his organization, he takes her captive. One thing
he’s good at is breaking his enemies and making them pay. But when he handles
Sasi, she defies him, sparks fly and he finds himself confronting the demons
within with devastating consequences.
Is Sasi ready to give up everything, including her life to take down the killer
Heart of the Mafia? Or in pursuing the Mafia Don will Sasi lose her
heart to Govada, the guy she should hate?
Click on this
thrilling, suspense-filled, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity dark romance
featuring a merciless, no-morals Mafia Don and a street-bred, women's
rights advocate who matches his vicious streak.
WARNING: Trauma. Violence. Mature.
This book contains scenes that might trigger sensitive readers. Please read
responsibly. Pope is the first book in the Brutal Cousins Series
featuring Di Giordano cousins.
“What’s
the problem, Sasi?” Govada arched one eyebrow. “You don’t like what you see?”
“You’re
not my type.”
Regardless
of her accusations earlier that he coerced submission from his sexual partners,
he knew too many women who would kill to get into his bed.
That
was the truth but Sasi was not one of them. In his head, that tiny fact was not
good enough. He was Govada Pope Vincenzo Giordano and his name opened doors up
and down the corridors of power in Aregua
and, in the entire continents of North and
All his
life, he had always had any woman, any frickin’ woman he desired, and that list
must now include Sasi, the women's rights campaigner turned his personal
prisoner.
“Who’s
your type?”
“Not you!”
Shaking
her head, she kicked her restrained feet and her tits jerked up and down in her
skin-tight black jumpsuit towing his eyes down to her cleavage.
Suddenly,
all he could think about was whether, or not her tits were as perky as they
appeared.
“Take
off your clothes, Sasi!”
“What
the heck?”
“Now!”
“You
would have to rip it off. I’m not giving you that pleasure, Pope.”
“Why?
You think you’re too good for me?”
“I
don’t want you, Pope. Get it through your skull.”
“I
wasn’t asking.”
“That’s
what I thought. Frickin’ monster!”
“Don’t
make me do it!”
Riled
by her lack of respect, he strode to stand in front of her, grasped the
button-down outfit by the neck, and pulled it apart with force, ripping it off
her shoulders.
Several
buttons circled in the air, hitting the ceiling and settling down on the rug in
peace.
Looking
down at her ripped outfit, she gasped in shock. On his part, he growled and
backed away like he had been struck.

How Millennials Are Changing Destination Weddings Using Social Media
 |
| Photo by Spencer Davis |
Millennials, born 1980-1995, are seeking weddings
with bragging rights. Do social media truly have that much of an impact on
millennial destination weddings?
"Big time," said Scott Wiseman,
President of Travel Impressions. "Many agents get their leads from
referrals and testimonials from other brides. Social media also helps direct
brides to new hot spots and creates the buzz that helps to sell the wedding.
Word-of-mouth has become even more powerful with the exponential influence of
social media and reviews. And user-generated content from one couple can easily
spread like wildfire and even go viral."
Millennials want their destination weddings to
create buzz, which is where social media plays an enormous role.
According to Ivy Jacobson, senior editor at the
Knot, destination weddings present many advantages for social media.
"The location and scenery are gorgeous, and
guests will want to document the event on social media the whole time they're
there," Jacobson said. "And having a hashtag is a must."
Photography becomes even more important in
millennial destination weddings. These clients want to share studio-quality
photographs in real time, and not wait for a photo album to emerge months
later.
Lockard-Furry, the founder of Traveluxe Official,
said, "I have captured most of the weddings I've worked on really uniquely
through their photographer."
Millennial couples are inviting destination-wedding
attendees to download Veri for wedding photos.
It is important to set up a live-streaming video
of the ceremony for those who cannot attend.
Wiseman listed Breathless and Secrets as the best
brands for millennial destination weddings.

"The first as an exhilarating hot spot, and
the second as a romantic luxury one," he said. Contemporary decor and
advanced technology appeal to this demographic.
Kelly Poling, senior vice president of marketing
for Karisma Hotels & Resorts agrees that social media plays a big part for
millennials. She stated, “Other social elements include making personalized
Snapchat filters, doing live streaming of the wedding for those who cannot
attend to watch later, and providing photo/GIF booths on-site for guests to
post photos instantly to their social platforms.”
"It's all about authenticity and capturing moments in real-time," said Poling.

Why Your Honesty Is A Turn Off - Relationship Expert Warns Against A Huge Mistake You Are Making On Your First Date
We always hear that honesty is the best policy. I even heard a well-known actor state, “Always tell the truth and you’ll never have to tell a lie.” Being entirely too frank may not be wise on your date.
 |
| Photo by cottonbro studio |
Dating expert Louanne Ward feels you should not be 'too honest' on a first date. People do not need to know if you snore, talk to your mother, or know your body count. 'We have all been taught that honesty is the best policy, but there is a difference between being honest and oversharing, and every date is a screening exercise for both parties. Every question you answer and every bit of information you give is data collected by your date to find your date-ability score.'
 |

Louanne explained, 'The only way you are going to get a second date is to have a high date-ability score and you will not get that by sharing useless information.'
 |
| Photo by Andres Ayrton |
Ward
offered some advice on what to say and what not to say on a first date:
· Do not share how many
dates you have been on.
· Keep your mouth closed
and let the other person do the talking so you can gather the information.
· Reveal private
information on a need-to-know basis.
· Not every date needs to know the ins and outs of your life.
Please share or comment on this article. Thank you.

The Do’s and Don’ts of An Office Romance
Because so many people spend most of their time in the workplace, it is understandable how some individuals find pleasure and excitement in the office.
Photo by Edmond
Dantès
According to studies done in the
However, secret trysts in the boardroom and
chance encounters in the lift (elevator) can bring despair and intrigue to your
working day.
Whether you are already romantically involved at work, or just thinking about it, here is how to be ten steps ahead of heartache, embarrassment, and job loss.

Grabowska
Leave him if he is married. You
will win very little support for your relationship and you can risk his
wife/girlfriend turning up at the office with a large tin of paint for your
car. Relationship psychotherapist Phillip Hodson says: 'It's not a crime to
fancy someone, but when there are families or other halves involved, you must think
of the consequences.'
Flirt discreetly. Discretion
is the key to a successful office romance. Brushing past someone or a stolen
glance over the photocopier is far more enticing than draping your body over
his desk. Remember, people are watching. Subtle flirting allows you to maintain
your professionalism and keep an air of mystery between you and your object of
desire.
Anticipate responses. Misreading the signals can be catastrophic. Is he smiling at you, or does he smile at everyone? Be aware that many people put on a 'friendly' mask at work. You risk enormous embarrassment and possibly your job if you proposition the boss and he does not know who you are. Do the groundwork. If you think he is interested, build up a friendship. It will improve your chances for a long-term relationship.

Decide whether to confide in colleagues - If you do not want
to be a regular feature of office gossip, it might be best to tell a few close
colleagues about your romance. That way people lose the intrigue and friends will
not feel excluded. However, workplace relationships can incite envy.
Think carefully about sex in the workplace. It
is all part of the package of an office romance, but if you do not want your
cloakroom exploits broadcast at the Christmas party, look out for security
cameras. It is better to save the passion for after-hours.
Watch your appearance. Do
not try too hard to catch his attention. It only takes a bit more lipstick and
a slightly shorter skirt for people to start chatting. If you do not want
colleagues to suspect your motives and to avoid malicious comments, keep your
look discreet.
Be careful with e-mails. Hit
the wrong key and the entire building will know how you like your strawberries
and whipped cream. It is likely that your company can access your e-mails, therefore,
be cautious.
Beware of company law. Although
there are no specific laws that prevent office romances, your company might
have its own policy.
Richard Isham, an employment lawyer at Wedlake Bell
Associates, says, 'Office romances are usually frowned upon because of the
issue of confidentiality. For instance, a company would be worried if the head
of IT was in a relationship with another employee. Important security
information could be transferred during pillow talk. Allegations of misconduct
can be made.'
Firms could also argue that office relationships
encroach on company time and disrupt the office environment. Some employers
will expect you to change departments. Read your contract thoroughly.'
Ask him to marry you. According to research, half of all workplace romances result in marriage. Try not to seem too eager, though. It is wise at least to ask him out before you ask him down the aisle.
Photo by Ron
Lach
Make sure you are the only one. Phillip Hodson
says, 'With any office romance', you have all your eggs in one basket; you are
very vulnerable.'
If you are going to risk your career, friends, and livelihood, then make sure he is worth it. If you know you are not the
first office conquest, steer clear.
Worse, if you did not know, give yourself time
to cool down. Do not sit there plotting a Lorena Bobbit type of revenge, concurrently
weeping uncontrollably. Talk about it after work with friends or family.
