The Ultimate Guide to Making a Girl Fall in Love
                Why won’t he be nice? What’s wrong with me? Why doesn’t he do this? Why doesn’t he do that? Many of you have probably heard these questions numerous times before in your life, coming from a girl’s mouth. But what about the boys? Why won’t she talk to me? Why doesn’t she kiss me? Why does she like him more than me? How many of you have ever found yourself pondering the thought of, girls only go for the jerks that treat them like dirt? Or simply asking yourself how do I make her fall in love? Well gentlemen, I’m about to give you a simplified step-by-step guide as to how to make a normal girl fall in love.             For many of you, getting the girl of your dreams is much like getting the car of your dreams. Unlike the car, which you can bargain for, there is no bargaining here. Getting the girl of your dreams to fall in love with you takes time and effort, and of course a little bit of TLC (tender, love, and care). But you’re in love with the girl, so you’re going to do whatever it takes, right? Your feelings need to be communicated not only by words of the mouth, but also by actions straight from the heart.
           The first step in this head-over-heels phase for any man is to make a good impression. When meeting a girl for the first time, don’t be like those “average Joes” out there! Be unique. Do something to grab her attention, something that will make her never forget you. Don’t tell her about your last run-in with the cops, or the last party you went to when all the hottest girls were all over you. Girls don’t care about that kind of stuff. You see, what a girl finds attractive in a man is determination and kindness. She wants someone she can trust and someone that makes her laugh. Not someone that is in and out of jail or messing around at parties. She wants a man of good habits. She does not want you to be like any other loser.
            Be sure to watch your language. Vulgar language gives the impression that you are immature, uncultured and cheap. Which sorry guys, no lady in her right mind is attracted to. She wants someone that she can go out in public with, and not be embarrassed when every other word out of his mouth is, “Oh %*@* I $*#*@$& forgot my %^**#**! wallet….AGAIN babe.. $@*# I’m sorry.” She wants someone that people are going to look up to and be envious that they didn’t get to him before she did. She wants someone that is going to be her best friend day in and day out.
           Which brings me to my second step, befriending and understanding the girl you are out to get is the next important thing. You need to let your girl fall for you gradually. Do not push her into a relationship. Become her friend first. You need to understand her as a woman, and as a woman she needs to be loved and adored, and needs to be needed. This will move you closer to the girl and it will help you figure out what she’s into-what she likes and dislikes and what her style is. True love is built upon friendships. She needs someone that’s going to be there for her through thick and thin, and a shoulder to lean on. Be helpful and supportive of her one hundred percent and she will do the same for you. Once she knows she has found a friend to open up to, share her feelings with and get advice on the do’s and don’ts of life, she will know you’re the one.
           Third, you need to make her feel special. Let her know everyday how much she means to you and how happy you are to have her in your life. Make her smile constantly and make sure she is always happy. Do not bring her down and degrade her, instead build her up and feed her compliments. Let her know that she is the most beautiful girl you have ever met. Show appreciation because after all, she is the girl you love. In your day to day talks, share your dreams and aspects of life with her. Let her know she is all that you can think about. She is the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning and the last thing at night.
               Fourth, make sure you are creative and constructive so that you can keep her interest. Take her out on crazy, fun dates making sure you try new things and live life to its absolute fullest potential. Instead of going to dinner and the latest movie, take her out fishing. Pack a picnic for the two of you and stay out all night. Automatically she will love the new experience and the thoughtfulness you put into the evening.


           Also, be sure never to fail to call your girl up, especially when she least expects it! If you know she is having a hard day at work, unexpectedly call her on her lunch break. Let her vent to you about how her roommate took all the hot water this morning and used the last of the coffee creamer (even though chances are you couldn’t care less). She will love the thought of you caring and fall deeper and deeper into your love spell.
         Along with unexpected phone calls, comes another step in this process. Girls love surprises. It keeps them on their toes. Make sure to kiss her when she least expects it. For example on your first date, do not make a move. Simply drop her off, give her a quick hug, or even a hand shake. The suspense will kill her! You will leave her wondering why you did not try to get “into her pants” like every other “douche bag” she has been with. Your respect as a gentleman will be earned on how patient you are with her when it comes to such matters as self control with kissing and, well, other things.


            Be sure to remember, that patience is the key to your woman’s heart. Be like the hunter, watching his target day after day, inspecting it, but not taking a shot. Exercising a tremendous amount of self-discipline, until one day he strikes and lands himself a nice trophy prize that no one else got to call their own. The patience and self control which you practice will make you seem much more attractive, as well, as charming, qualifying you as the missing piece to her heart.
               Finally, after you have made it crystal clear that you want her, but just cannot have her yet. You increase your game (meaning making yourself a higher demand). It is not really fair for the girl to be playing hard to get all the time, so take a turn at it yourself! Make her realize that she cannot stand to be without you. By this time, she will be so in love with you that she will be the one giving you her everlasting devotion, loyalty and unconditional love. This is exactly what you wanted, right? After which, prove to her one last time that you will always do your best to make her happy, be there for her and make her feel loved.


             Now that all of you brain-dead men out there know the top-secret steps to making a girl fall in love, do you feel like you deserve a slap in the face? See, it wasn’t so hard after all. Now go out and try these tips and tricks for yourself! They will work on any female, I promise. Any normal female, that is!

Flesh Wounds



Not everyone is blessed with an hourglass figure, flawless skin, a perfect nose, full lips, or voluptuous breasts. Every year we hear about the millions of men, women, and teenagers that venture out to enhance, minimize, nip, and tuck all sorts of different parts of their bodies. From face lifts and tummy tucks, breast enhancements and liposuction, to laser hair removal and Botox injections, there is a procedure that can just about repair, remove, lift, and smooth every inch of the human body. Societies worldwide have become obsessed with beauty and perfection. Of course, physical imperfections are not considered a detriment to everyone that possesses them. However, for some, they can shape poor self-image and influence low confidence levels. So how does a person weigh the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery and make a balanced decision about beauty and long-term well-being? The pros and cons of cosmetic surgery both have valid arguments and a worldwide audience of men, women, and teenagers, but I assert cosmetic surgery is a terrible option.


To begin, when considering the pros of cosmetic enhancements, there are many benefits to plastic surgery. Clearly, the most obvious benefit is improved appearance. Plastic surgery can reduce signs of aging, thereby enhancing the individual’s natural beauty, leading to a more vibrant, youthful appearance. It can also correct imperfections and defects. Richard B. Aronsohn asserts, “Plastic surgery can repair damage to a person caused by trauma, illness, infection, developmental abnormality or heredity” (23). Since the desirable result of cosmetic surgery is a more attractive appearance, successful surgeries can have a strong positive effect on an individual’s psychological health.


As such, another major benefit of cosmetic surgery is improved self confidence and better body image. Ali Nedeem states, “Being beautiful elevates self esteem and self confidence which makes others feel more comfortable in the presence of others” (12). Appearance and body image go hand-in-hand. As a person makes positive cosmetic changes in her physical appearance, she begins to experience a more positive body image. While a cosmetic surgery patient may have been told in the past that he is handsome and strong, these compliments are now more believable to him after surgery. Feelings of well-being and psychological health are increased.


Furthermore, although many people may have made interior changes to their minds and hearts, they may not feel the same positive changes on the outside of their bodies. Nadeem also states:


Cosmetic surgery can also help bring closure to a past that may not have always been kind to the way you look. Stress, poor dietary choices or smoking may have contributed to you looking older than your years. If you have done the inner work of making lasting lifestyle changes, a bit of cosmetic surgery can help your outside image line up with the new inner you. (115)


In truth, cosmetic surgery provides a way to improve one’s appearance, self confidence, and body image while connecting the inner psyche to the outer body.


Although there are benefits to cosmetic surgery, there are also major disadvantages to cosmetic enhancements. First, cosmetic surgery is an expensive endeavor, not often covered by health insurance, which can present a financial burden for many patients. Kurt Wagner states, “Many single procedures come with price tags well into the thousands of dollars” (67). In truth, many cosmetic surgery patients don’t always go in for just a single procedure. Some find themselves desiring multiple procedures which will easily leave them with a medical bill that far exceeds the average American’s yearly income.


A second disadvantage of plastic surgery is that when a person receives cosmetic enhancements, there is no absolute guarantee that she will receive the results that she truly desires. For example, we all have seen women and men with skin stretched too tight from the all-too-frequent facelift, which creates a distorted unnatural look. As such, the results of the frequent facelifts being worse than not having the cosmetic procedures at all. In addition to this, a person going in with high hopes of looking younger might want to reconsider. The fact that men and women think cosmetic surgery makes them look “younger” and that it slows down the aging process is ridiculous. In truth, Maxwell Maltz asserts that, “Plastic surgery actually speeds up the aging process.”


A third disadvantage of cosmetic enhancements is the required recuperation time after plastic surgery. Granted, depending on the procedure, the pain level and recovery time vary. Kurt Wagner states, “Some surgeries can range from day to day while others can take from weeks to months for complete healing” (45). Surgeons must cut, bend, stretch, chisel, poke, and otherwise forcefully manipulate structures of the body into the desired shape to make a surgery a success. As Maxwell Maltz writes in his book, Adventures in Staying Young, “This war against the body causes stress on the body resulting in pain and discomfort, bruising, swelling, and stiffness” (107).


Furthermore, many procedures have the potential for serious complications that may even be permanent, leading to increased recovery periods and patients taking time away from normal activities following surgery. In truth, for the sake of beauty, this means taking time from school or work and avoiding favorite activities such as sports and spending time with children.


In modern society today, we all strive for perfection. But what exactly is perfection? Some say that flawless skin, rounder behinds, and fuller breasts are the answer. Others seek flatter derrieres, smaller waists, and rounder noses. So what is perfection? In truth, this is why so many people today, make the decision to get plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is ridiculous. Before a person goes in for plastic surgery does he ask himself, “Do I really need cosmetic enhancements?” Some people want surgery for a few wrinkles that are barely noticeable to anyone but themselves. In truth, anyone tempted to reshape her face, body, and mind by means of a knife needs serious help and therapy. Although we all strive to look perfect, we are made the way we are for a reason. It disgusts me to think that people are so lazy that they can’t simply exercise if they want to shed a few pounds. Instead Americans today take shortcuts in life. We believe in the “get quick” schemes that cosmetic procedures offer.


Furthermore, I am astounded at just how many people go into cosmetic surgeries without the guarantee that they will get the “ideal” look they are striving for. So many complications can occur in these procedures and a person could end up looking worse following surgery. In fact, many people ask the wrong questions when they go in for a procedure. They ask their surgeon, “What can be done? What can I hope for?” The real question that should be asked is, realistically, “What will be done?” So many people, who are seeking cosmetic work, believe that just because it is done every day, that there is no risk of damage or no threat of death. People need to make sure that they know the real risks of cosmetic enhancements. Plastic surgeons are not miracle workers, they are humans. They are physicians who have had extensive training in delicate repair of the skin, but no one can break the integrity of normal skin without leaving a mark. I believe that people should have confidence in themselves, despite any “perceived” cosmetic physical imperfections. People should love themselves, for who they are, not for what they look like. People need to remember that the fantasy of their life might be magically transformed by cosmetic surgery, but the fact is, it is nothing more than a quick-fix fantasy.


In conclusion, every year we hear about the millions of men, women, and teenagers that venture out to enhance, minimize, nip, and tuck all sorts of different parts of their bodies. Societies worldwide have become obsessed with beauty and perfection. When considering the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery both have valid arguments. Plastic surgery can positively affect a person’s appearance, self confidence, and body image. However, the disadvantages are that cosmetic enhancements are expensive, have no guarantee as to the final results, can have lengthy recuperation times, and can result in serious complications. In truth, the argument for or against plastic surgery comes down to one simple fact. Cosmetic surgery benefits people in the sense that following surgery they may experience the results they wished to have received, but in the end the risks are too high and the “beauty” is simply artificial.
