Do Womens Fashion Trends Make Them Impressionable?
Filed Under Men and Women | Comments Off
By Robert McMurtrie
In the 17th Century both girls and boys were sent to dame-schools at an early age. The girls were not normally taught much book learning, but were taught how to be a good housewife. They were taught how to cook. They were also taught how to spin and weave and knit, not only for home wear but for the shops.
Fine knitting was well paid for, and was a matter of much pride to the knitter. Many complicated stitches were taught to the girls. The herring-bone being one type of fashion pattern. There was also the fox, and the geese knitting patterns.
The girls were taught how to create fashion trends by having initials knit into mittens and stockings. The alphabet was knit into mittens and sometimes even a verse of poetry.
Young women were taught to be gentle and learn fine embroidery. New fashion purses were made with fine embroidery and sold in the shops. Another fashion trend was the making of paper flowers, known as Papyrotamia. They were taught how to paint fine art on velvet. They learned about quilt piecing in a hundred different and difficult designs. They were also taught how to make bone lace with pillow and bobbins.
Boys were educated in, amongst other matters, Latin Grammar. The study of reading and writing was firmly etched on their minds.
The 19th Century (Early Victorian 1837-1869) brought in a new fashion trend for women. What a women desired was curves to enhance their femininity. The fashion corset of that day helped to create those curves that women desired.
The late Victorian period of 1870-1900 seen the fashion corset go a step further. Curves on women were created by tightly lacing them into their corsets. The fashion trend was to have an 18 inch waist. This style was known as the hourglass look.
Then along came the 20th Century. Young women went to college and university. They began to compete with men for jobs. What they found difficult to compete with at first was the company wage structure. Women doing equal work to men received considerably less wages. The equal parity in all areas of life for women had still not arrived. Men were still the superior beings, in the professional areas of life.
However, even if young women were not receiving equal wage parity to men, many still received a good income. And that scenario brought in a new fashion trend. The laddette fashion trend.
Young women began to go out on the town most nights with their mates. They did not limit their drinking, even if they were working the next day. A couple of small glasses of wine or spirits was not enough for them. They felt compelled to compete with men.
They would see young men gulping down large glasses of beer. So they began to drink large glasses of beer.
At closing time, they would leave the public house, legless. Be sick and then fall down. Many young women began to go work feeling very ill. But that did not deter them from starting the drinking cycle over again a few hours later. They just had to be seen to be equal to, and even better, than men.
Hopefully, as the 21st Century progresses, the laddette fashion trend will disappear. And, the 19th Century fashion trend will partly re-appear. This time however, women can make use of the more modern corset to re-introduce their femininity. And hopefully, they will still have good wage earning jobs to buy proper ladies fashion clothes.

The Truth About The G Spot (Grafenberg Spot)
Filed Under Men and Women | Comments Off
By Holly Franklin
There is still an argument over whether the g-spot really exists. A gynaecologist Dr. Jones Stewart on concluding his study wrote in an article for Times Magazine in 1983 that women that had the area supposedly contained the g-spot, surgically removed reported no loss of sensation.
The belief of the general public though is that the g-spot is a reality with one study concluding that 84% of women believing that there is a “highly sensitive area” in the vagina. Modern day publishing discuss the g-spot as if it a medical truth.
The g-spot or Grafenberg Spot (named after its discoverer, a German gynaecologist called Ernst Grafenberg) is a small highly sensitive area located 5-8cm (2-5 inches) inside the vagina on the front upper wall. The g-spot is said to be the female equivalent of the male prostate gland. Women have even found they ejaculate a fluid if they have an orgasm by stimulation of the g-spot, researchers in North America claim the fluids composition is similar to the secretion of the prostate gland.
The g-spot is located beneath the urethral sponge. This explains why many women feel they have to pee when their g-spot is stimulated with every woman having a urethral sponge then every woman must have a g-spot.
The mystery around the g-spot can be partly explained by the common misconception surrounding it. It modern parlance many women believe the g-spot to be a “sex button” that can be pressed like a starter button, at anytime to cause an erotic explosion. Then as a result during love-making when this is the case and an erotic explosion does not appear leads many women to believe that the g-spot doesn'’t exist. The g-spot mystery continues I believe because of a lack of understanding of the g-spot. The g-spot should be considered more as an “erotic zone” as Grafenberg himself described it.
I think many women who claim not to enjoy or notice g-spot stimulation are more then likely not using the correct technique or using sufficiently firm pressure on it so that the g-spot is being stimulated. First though us girls have to locate the g-spot and don'’t worry many women find it difficult to locate the g-spot. Here is a basic guide.
The g-spot is a bean shaped group of nerves tissues located halfway between the back of the pubic bone and the top of the cervix. The size and position of the g-spot differs from women to women, but it is usually about the size of a quarter, and lies 2-3 inches inside the vagina directly behind the pubic bone.
If you learn to understand you g spot then there is a whole world of pleasure open to you.

Your Guide To Bridal Shoes
Filed Under Men and Women | Leave a Comment
By Sam McCain
Historically shoes were thought to have powerful connections to luck and fortune. Shoes were originally thrown at the bride and groom for good luck and to ward off evil spirits. Thankfully, the custom has developed into something a bit more civilised and old shoes are often tied to the back of the wedding car.
In ancient China brides wore lotus shoes, which were decorated with instructions on how to consummate the marriage. In ancient Egypt the bride’s father gave the groom her sandal as a symbolic gesture, indicating she now belonged to him. Wedding shoes for the modern bride are no longer the symbols of patriarchy they once were and are now simply for her enjoyment. The biggest problem the bride faces today is one of choice.

Today’s fashionista doesn’t just look fab, but also well-informed on the latest fad and not decked out from head to toe in designer brands. Gone are the days when women parade around with their designer sunglasses, designer handbags, and designer shoes. The whole everything should be matching designer outfit is just a little too much nowadays. Unless you have a job like the chick from The Devil Wears Prada, then you’re probably not required to be a walking advertisement of these designer brands.
These days, you are most likely to find a fashionista shopping online, browsing at discount stores or even looking at second hand op shops. This is definitely not viewed as a bad thing, as it’s now considered very fashionable to shop wisely and save for that extra dollar.

It is very difficult to maintain a dating experience, and it is much more difficult to maintain a ‘’good'’ dating. Most times the sites are good only for men or for women individually, but not to both. Sometimes the join only personals online has more men than women, or sometimes it has more women than men. For women, the problem is mostly that they want to make sure of the genuineness of the guys they see on the dating site. And for men, the problem is that they do not get as many email contacts from the women as they want to.
But these problems are bound to happen with these dating sites because they have no restrictions on including members on their website. They are quite liberal in taking members from all over the world, and the result is that many people fake their profiles on the online dating. Also, since there are no specific categories for men and women, it becomes very difficult if you want to find someone of a particular type. Mostly people end up communicating with people they wish they didn’t done so, and then the conversation falters. This is a grand failing of any dating online? Conversations, that begins and then fizzles out without a mention.

I remember reading somewhere a quote on manhood that reads “Make it a life rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.”
That quote pretty much sums things up. To women, simply being male does not entitle you to become a card carrying member of the Manhood Club. There are specific characteristics and qualities that women look for before they proudly refer to you as their “man.”
First, let’s eliminate sex when trying to compile a definition of a man. Sex isn’t everything and a relationship based totally on sex is nothing special. A male that knows how to utilize his tool certainly does not make him a man. You see, a sorry, selfish, irresponsible, lazy man could be the ultimate lover. Sex should be the last component in the definition because those skills can be developed by the couple within their relationship. Working on it together can lead to an awesome experience. In other words sex does not make the man.
