20 Reasons You Don’t Have a Boyfriend Manolith, a men’s lifestyle online magazine, recently ran the article 20 Reasons You’re Still Single. I was delighted to learn that there are apparently a significant number of men who want a relationship and need advice. The piece addresses a wide range of typical male weaknesses, including questionable hygiene, douchebaggery and being “too nice.” One of the premises of Hooking Up Smart is that in general, men are more interested in sexual variety than women, and therefore less interested in committed relationships. Many contributing factors have created “hookup culture,” where physical intimacy precedes emotional intimacy, which may or may not develop. Is it a matter of luck? The good news is that we can control our behavior, and that can change everything! My 20 tough love reasons for why you don’t have a boyfriend: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Full disclosure? Try a new approach, and see what happens.

Nobody gets through life without losing someone they love, someone they need, or something they thought was meant to be. But it is these losses that make us stronger and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. Over the past five years Angel and I have dealt with several hardships, including the sudden death of a sibling, the loss of a best friend to illness, betrayal from a business partner, and an unexpected (breadwinning) employment layoff. Here are some lessons we’ve learned along the way: You are not what happened to you in the past. – No matter how chaotic the past has been, the future is a clean, fresh, wide open slate.

Personality Types Under Stress Personality Types Under Stress - INTP, INTJ, INFP, INFJ INTPs lack follow-through and this can isolate their ideas from practical examination. Their notions become over-intellectualized and too abstract to be of practical benefit. With their sharp critical thinking and analytical abilities, INTPs tend to nit-pick, hair-split, and generally overdo simple issues. Their desire for accuracy and precision exacerbates any error they may perceive in themselves or in others - they are, in other words, highly self-critical. If stress continues, the INTP's mind seems to freeze and block out the vital information it has worked so hard to accumulate. INTJs' precision thinking and need for accuracy causes them to be inflexible at times. When stress increases, the INTJ can become argumentative and disagreeable. INFPs feel internal turmoil when they find themselves in situations in which there is conflict between their inner code of ethics and their relationships with others.
Partially Examined Life Podcast - More Hegel on Self Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:31:54 — 84.1MB) Part 2 of our discussion of G.F.W.

INTJ Relationships INTJs believe in constant growth in relationships, and strive for independence for themselves and their mates. They are constantly embarking on "fix-up" projects to improve the overall quality of their lives and relationships. They take their commitments seriously, but are open to redefining their vows, if they see something which may prove to be an improvement over the existing understanding. INTJs are not likely to be "touchy-feely" and overly affirming with their mates or children, and may at times be somewhat insensitive to their emotional needs. However, INTJs are in general extremely capable and intelligent individuals who strive to always be their best, and be moving in a positive direction. INTJs live much of their lives inside their own heads. INTJs are not naturally in tune with their own feelings, or with what other people are feeling. Sexually, the INTJ enjoys thinking about intimacy, and about ways to perfect it. Many INTJs believe that they are always right.
