Phones4U Study Shows That Women Find iPhone Owners Reliable


Phones4U recently conducted a study regarding the features women look for in the ideal man for dating.

Having an iPhone topped the list with half of the women in the sample accepting that they find owners of iPhone more attractive. There are various reasons for the same. For some women, having an iPhone is a matter of having money and better living style. However, for many others, having an iPhone is a matter of knowing the nitty-gritty of computers. Some women find computer savvy men more trustworthy and go for iPhone owners, as Lucy, a 23-year-old primary school teacher, admitted.

Surprisingly, iPhone owners rank higher than Blackberry or HTC owners for women. More than 35% of women in the study stated that men using iPhone tend to be more reliable than those who use other smart phones including Blackberry.

The study turned up with many other interesting features women seek in men. Women want their men to have great sense of humour, sociability, and even the knowledge of daily televisions soaps.

This might be a complete guide for men who are dating. All you need is an iPhone, computer knowledge, and the habit of watching television.

Online Dating - Some Good Online Dating Tips

Many people are using the Internet for meeting people because people’s lives are getting busier everyday and there’s not enough time. On the internet, there’s thousands of tips involving dating singles online but the best advice are the ones that detail that it’s best to be as no-nonsense and honest as possible so the internet dating site can match you up decently. Sometimes individuals will brush off the tips they receive and lie on their profile or make themselves look different then they really are - to draw in a certain sort of individual. Being dishonest won’t usually bring in the results you are looking for and will usually cause problems later.

A very good practical tip for singles dating online is to use the greatest image (of you) possible. It should be recent (not some image of you ten years ago). You should use a photo of yourself - not any actor/actress that you imagine will feel good to the other sex. Your photo is the first thing online daters will discover and should show you in the best light manageable.

Many online dating advice that you will find online mention that you should represent your interests in a way that you will learn others with the similar involvements. You should really list YOUR interests and not some general ones that you guess will provide greater results. To avoid any potential surprises later on so you should really list all your involvements, no matter how funny you guess there are.

The internet singles dating sites commonly have some pretty advanced ways of matching people up but they aren’t perfect. Some will make mistakes! It doesn’t always mean that you are a positive match just because a computer says so. Definitely check them out, talk to them, email them before deciding to meet up.

There are millions of people looking for that special someone and if you want to try the internet dating sites, you should definitely read this advice. You should always be careful when using these places - and remember to be safe. Dating on the net is not ensured to provide acceptable, safe results. Use your instincts, and have fun!

The Shutterbug: Finding The Right Wedding Photographer For You

Every wedding deserves to be captured for posterity in print. Your pictures aren’t just any images. They are souvenirs, heirlooms for your descendants to look at and exclaim over. So it makes sense to get a photographer who will really bring out the best images of your special event.

Here are some things you should check when looking for the photographer for your wedding:

- His previous work must appeal to you. Put yourself in the place of the people in the images in his sample albums. Are these how you’d like your pictures to look?

- Confirm if he will be the photographer at your wedding himself or if he will assign someone else. Some shops have many photographers in their stable. You need to see the work of the person who will actually be handling your event.

- Promptness is a very important trait in wedding photographers. Your wedding is a once in a lifetime event. His being late will make a difference in your album.

- His attitude and appearance will also be important. You are looking for someone who can make the transition shots very smoothly, has good crowd control and who looks presentable and acceptable at your event. The last thing you need are offended friends and relatives on your wedding day.

- You can’t argue that some people have a great eye and timing. You need someone who can capture the soul of your nuptials, not someone who will make you all look like you’re posing for high school class picture.

- Cost is the last item on your list. Once you’ve found the photographer you like it’s best to find out if your budget can accommodate his fee. Keep in mind that the higher his skills, the higher his fees will be too.

Myths About Marriage

Marriage Will Add Happiness to Your Life

Most people overestimate the benefits of getting married while underestimating the problems. Most people think that getting married will make them happier, feel more connected, and bring move love into their lives. In reality, marriages also limit people’s freedom and autonomy, marriages constrain choices, and getting married increases the likelihood of conflict (disputes over time, money, children, etc). Simply put, most people enter marriage with unrealistic expectations of what is going to happen, which ultimately results in disappointment, anger, and frustration. Unfortunately, people expect marriages to be source of happiness and joy, when, in fact, marriages are a source of much happiness AND much frustration. In fact, research show that people are more likely to be mean to a spouse than to a complete stranger. People are more likely to show disregard, indifference, and anger to a spouse compared to how they would treat a stranger. This happens because close relationships, not only create rewards, but they also create problems. And unfortunately, most people are not ready or well prepared to deal with the problems.

Romantic, Passionate Love Will Last

There are two types of love. The type of love that rules our decision making at the start of a relationship - romantic, passionate, love. And there is the type of love that makes a relationship work - companionate love. Romantic, passionate love is exciting, intense and all encompassing. Companionate love is based on affection, appreciation and companionship. Most people marry because they are swept up in romantic, passionate love, not realizing that this type of love is going to fade. Romantic, passionate love always fades - especially after two years of marriage. And when it starts to fade, if you do not have a deep appreciation for your spouse - companionate love - your spouse is not your best friend - your marriage is going be difficult to maintain. Unfortunately, we select spouses on the basis of romantic love, but companionate love is what really matters in the long run.

Love is Enough

Love is never enough to make a relationship work. People think that love will carry them through all of their difficult times. But, in reality, more than just love is needed to make a relationship work. Relationships require good communication skills - being able to resolve conflict in ways that create closeness and understanding. It is important to be able to share feelings without creating defensiveness and more conflict. In short, spouses need to be able to talk to each other and creating understanding without causing more frustration, anger, and hostility.

Having Kids Brings People Closer Together

Many couples think that having kids will bring them closer together. Research, however, shows that having kids leads to dramatic declines in relational satisfaction. Having kids puts enormous strain on a marriage, it increases the demands that couples face, and it often leads to more conflict and less satisfying interactions. If problems exist in a relationship, adding kids to the mix, only makes the problems worse, not better.

Spouses do NOT Cheat when Things are Going Good

It is estimated that close to 30 to 60% of all spouses will cheat at some point in their marriage. And many people think that spouses will only cheat when there are problems in their relationship. Cheating, however, is more complicated than that. Cheating is driven by a host of factors. And it is quite possible for people who are happily married to cheat on a spouse. Cheating can happen for a variety of different reasons.
