What Happens When the Woman Wants Sex Way More Than the Man? How Unfair Sex Stereotypes Strain Relationships October 20, 2011 | Like this article? Join our email list: Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email. One of the evergreen topics surrounding relationships is the problem of uneven desire. But in heterosexual relationships, our assumption is that the man should be the one who “wants it more.” Like every stereotype, this one proves true in a certain number of instances. Earlier this year, I ran a small survey (solicited on my Facebook). “It sounds awful”, she wrote, “but I feel so ugly and unwanted when the burden is on me to initiate. I heard similar things from more than a few women in the survey, as well as in my office hours a time or nine. “I work a lot”, wrote one 30-year-old guy, “and I swear, I’m only up for sex maybe twice a week.

A library to envy A little good advice never hurt anyone. If you’re looking for a few tips on how to improve your graphic design business or just a little insight into how others do things, 100 habits of successful graphic designers is worth a read. On to a few quotes from the book… Keep in touch with your clients, past and present. Every business has competitors and you want clients to think of you first. Do an extra-good job on tiny projects. Small projects are often treated as churn and burn jobs, but every business starts small. Spend time with your client to build consensus and create shared goals. It’s understandable that clients are excited and designers are eager to begin a new project, but you can never have too much information. Don’t stop at just a written brief, have a few conversations. Seek out creative clients for successful collaborations. Although good graphic design is about what works, and not personal tastes and preferences, they sometimes can’t be avoided with some clients.
