Social networking and online dating is currently the hot trend, and many people are turning to online dating sites to find friends, romance, love, and connections.

Download or read book Internet Dating written by Chris Beasley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internet Dating deals primarily with the experiences of UK and Australian daters, examining their online accounts to see what kinds of narratives, norms, emotions and ‘chemistry’ shape their dating. Has the emergence and growth of internet dating changed the dating landscape for the better? Most commentators, popular and academic, ask whether online dating is more efficient for individuals than offline dating. We prefer a socio-political perspective. In particular, the book illustrates the extent to which internet dating can advance gender and sexual equality. Drawing on the voices of internet daters themselves, we show that internet dating reveals how social change often arises in the unassuming, everyday and familiar. We also pay attention to often ignored older daters and include consideration of daters in Africa, Scandinavia, South America, Asia and the Middle East. Throughout, we explore the pitfalls and pleasures of men and women daters navigating unconventional directions towards more equitable social relations.

Download or read book Don t Stick Your Dick in a Blender written by Jonathan Roseland and published by Jonathan Roseland. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are dangerous. Good, yet naive, men routinely wreck their lives because they “stick their dick in a blender” — having sex with the wrong kinds of women. STDs, unplanned pregnancies, false accusations, mental health headcases, and divorce make chasing skirts a dangerous game. While lesser men retreat from the pursuit of women into the pixel-powered pleasure world, you have faith that your hunt for a virtuous woman will be fruitful. You can’t take a time-machine back to a more decent age to find a marriageable woman. You’re not ready to give up on your genetic purpose and start banging sex robots, but you’re tired of the transient, meaningless flings with mediocre women. You’re likely underestimating just how risky sex, a relationship, or marriage is with the modern woman. But you’re also underestimating just how rewarding it is to win the commitment of “a nice girl” — a truly feminine woman, not at war with the natural order — and intertwine your essence with hers. "Don’t Stick Your Dick in a Blender” is an irreverent, politically incorrect exposition of the state of dating in the current year. And a playbook of counter-intuitive approaches, advanced social dynamics lifehacks, along with filtering strategies for avoiding the time-wasters and inglorious skanks. How to meet a nice girl… Meeting a wife-material woman - Yes, it’s still possible! Dating post-COVID-19 - The global pandemic/plandemic has changed the game, you must adapt. The truth about marrying an exotic foreign woman - Is it for you? Online dating - Navigating the digital minefield of fakers, flakes, liars, and scams. Mindset demystified - Deprogramming the mainstream (and counter-culture) mindsets that cost you love. Dating abroad - How to do it without getting royally screwed. Avoiding the friend zone - Advanced persuasion and sexual signaling methods. Seducing a virgin - Why this really matters and how to do it... Eliciting yielding Yin energy - Inspiring a woman to adopt your values. Cultivating her devotion - Get laid like a “lover” and get respect like a patriarchal provider. Tantric “sex hacks” - Up your bedroom skills with an arsenal of holistic biohacks (both ancient and cutting-edge) for life-changing sex. Losing your virginity - Perhaps you’re a frustrated virgin or “Incel” disappointed with all the crappy advice about how to lose your virginity. 33 steps are broken down for meaningfully losing your virginity. And in these pages, you’ll get the “red pills” on dating, sex, and the fairer sex without the hopelessness and cynicism. You’ll learn about the four red flags of a “blender” — deal-breakers that should make you back away slowly from a woman. You’ll learn what qualifies as a virtuous woman who you might have a future with. And, why there’s a lot of reasons to be optimistic about finding love and even getting married one day. This book is also a story of hope and redemption, the memoir of a reformed pickup artist who “enjoyed the decline” all the way from America and Colombia to Ukraine and found edifying joy and meaning between the voluptuous thighs of a beautiful Bulgarian woman on the edge of Europe.

Download or read book Everyday Joys in Twenty First Century Queer American Painting written by David Deutsch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken together, the chapters in this book outline a theory and a practice of painting ecstatic ordinarinesses in contemporary, diverse American queer life. To do so, it offers the first sustained study of five individually renowned twenty-first-century queer painters—Gio Black Peter, Doron Langberg, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Salman Toor, and João Gabriel—who have achieved substantial recognition from international museums, galleries, and critics working with short-form reviews but not yet from academics producing large-scale studies. This study argues for a broad understanding of what constitutes the queer American art of our time and for a broad sense of who can help to fashion American culture and history, including art by African American, Southeast Asian, Muslim and Jewish American, South American, and gender nonconforming queer artists. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, gender studies, and queer studies.

Download or read book Finding Meaning Facing Fears written by Jerrold Lee Shapiro, Ph.D. and published by Impact Publishers. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autumn is a time of bright colors and full harvest moons; a time to reap and savor what we’ve sown. Our autumn years are the ideal time to reexamine our lives. Often spurred on by a 50th birthday or the last child leaving home, it becomes important to question who we are in the larger scheme of things, to wonder what we really want from our lives. Finding Meaning, Facing Fears (Winner of the Alpha Sigma Nu Book Awards 2013) invites us to explore the many opportunities this time of life presents: opportunities to stretch in our capacities, to face and conquer old demons, and to meet new challenges with greater resources than were available to us before. We will also have a greater opportunity to give back to the world the benefit of our experiences and to think about and implement our personal legacies. Dr. Shapiro helps us discover which alternatives will serve best in our relationships, career, even spiritual quests, and offers answers to the inevitable questions we face as we get older, such as: “Is that all there is?” “Is it too late to change my life?” “Where do I go from here?” and, “I’ve got everything I thought I wanted; why aren’t I happy?”

Download or read book Doing It All written by Ruby Russell and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering In the United States, one child in five is raised by a single mother. Yet the single mom is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent for her own (or her children’s) good. In Doing It All,journalist and single mother Ruby Russell tells a different story, of single mothering not defined by loss but whole and powerful in its own right. She finds narratives of liberation in Victorian brothels and postwar British slums, in Black feminist theory and the grassroots activism of women fighting for welfare rights. Doing It All is a personal quest for empowerment, a fierce critique of the systems that leave single moms marginalized and exhausted, and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected, and radically responsible communities.

Download or read book American Postfeminist Cinema written by Michele Schreiber and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of their tremendous gains in the political and professional sphere, and their ever expanding options, why is it that most contemporary American films aimed at women still focus almost exclusively on their pursuit of a heterosexual romantic relationship? American Postfeminist Cinema explores this question and is the first book to examine the symbiotic relationship between heterosexual romance and postfeminist culture. The book argues that since 1980, postfeminism's most salient tensions and anxieties have been reflected and negotiated in the American romance film. Case studies of a broad range of Hollywood and independent films reveal how the postfeminist romance cycle is intertwined with contemporary women's ambivalence and broader cultural anxieties about women's changing social and political status.

Download or read book Finding Community written by Diana Leafe Christian and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to research, visit, evaluate, and join the ecovillage or sustainable community of your dreams. Finding community is as critical as obtaining food and shelter, since the need to belong is what makes us human. The isolation and loneliness of modern life have led many people to search for deeper connection, which has resulted in a renewed interest in intentional communities. These intentional communities or ecovillages are an appealing choice for like-minded people who seek to create a family-oriented and ecologically sustainable lifestyle—a lifestyle they are unlikely to find anywhere else. However, the notion of an intentional community can still be a tremendous leap for some—deterred perhaps by a misguided vision of eking out a hardscrabble existence with little reward. In fact, successful ecovillages thrive because of the combined skills and resources of their members. Finding Community presents a thorough overview of ecovillages and intentional communities and offers solid advice on how to research thoroughly, visit thoughtfully, evaluate intelligently, and join gracefully. Useful considerations include: Important questions to ask (of members and of yourself) Signs of a healthy (and not-so-healthy) community Cost of joining (and staying) Common blunders to avoid Finding Community provides intriguing possibilities to readers who are seeking a more cooperative, sustainable, and meaningful life. Diana Leafe Christian is the author of Creating a Life Together and editor of Communities magazine. She lives at Earthhaven Ecovillage in North Carolina.
