i just read an article by the BBC. Here is a part of it:
"The reason, he observed, was that women were more organised under pressure. "They spent more time thinking at the beginning, whereas men had a slight impulsiveness, they jumped in too quickly," said Prof Laws. "It suggests that - in a stressed and complex situation - women are more able to stop and think about what's going on in front of them." Altogether, they conclude that women "have an advantage over men" in multitasking, at least in certain situations."
My boyfriend has always said that men can't multitask like women. He's an honest man.  I think I'm pretty good at multitasking. How about you?

I think that to have a successful relationship, you both have to care enough to make it work. Compromise is important and so is apologizing when you're wrong. Communication though is key. I can't tell you how many male I've had that don't share their innermost thoughts and fantasies with their spouses. That's how they ended up paying for calls with me.

WHEN ALFIE MET ANN

I just read about an Instagram account called "The Way We Met". Couples write about how they got together. It reminded me about one of Alfie's posts about how he met Ann. I really enjoyed reading about how their relationship started. I'd love to hear stories about other members and how they met their significant others. Care to share?
In my case, I joined a phone site because I could tell a lot about a man by the sound of his voice. Given my job experience, it just made sense. I had dated some guys I shouldn't have and decided it was time to meet a nice guy. I have to admit that I did let men make the first move so if a guy contacted me and I liked him, it went from there. I liked my boyfriend from the moment we first talked. His warmth was felt on that first call. Before our first date, I knew that I would want us to be friends even if nothing developed. We ended up falling in love.

STATISTICS - HOW VALID ARE THEY?

I wish I could count how many times a study proved one thing and then another said the opposite. Clearly studies have many flaws. At least many of them too. They could be biased or there could be too small a sample. I took statistics and yes they could determine how significant a certain result is. However, despite all that, can we really trust them?

CHUTZPAH or CARPE DIEM?

According to Mirriam-Webster's online dictionary, chutzpah means "personal confidence or courage that allows someone to do or say things that may seem shocking to others." Do you or someone you know have chutzpah? What did you say or do that showed you have it?
My first boyfriend used to say "no guts, no glory" and it gave me the confidence to do things I might not have done otherwise. My best example was the Daytime Emmy Awards. I was in NYC and it was at the Waldorf Astoria. I had wanted to buy tickets but they cost $150US and I felt that was too much. When I reconsidered, given how much I wanted it and my family encouraged me, there were no tickets left. I thought I'd at least see the celebrities arrive. I had a question to ask regarding the event and saw the room where the celebrities were seated. The guards were talking and not looking. I seized the opportunity and went in. I got autographs and saw the fans on the balcony who had paid. I have to admit, that felt great. When I left, one guard questioned me. The other guard, the obviously bright one, said he shouldn't bother since I already was in and just leaving.
I think what happened to me was a combination of chutzpah and carpe diem (seize the day). Which do you think it was?

ALWAYS THE LAST TO KNOW

Do you always hear things after everyone else? I know some people that whenever anything happens at work or elsewhere, they are always the last to know. Is it that they don't pay attention until it's too late? I wonder if that's what breaks up relationships. Some people don't listen to the warning signs that things are going bad.
