Through studies and experiments its proven any two people in this world can be connected by around six people. However the fun of celebrity dating is that it seems they date in circles, somehow everyone is linked to each other. Did you know that Vin Diesel can be linked to Paul Walker just by 3 degrees of separation? And you thought the only thing common between them was – Fast & Furious

Vin Diesel dated Summer Alice (2000)

Summer Altice dated Charlie Sheen (1999)

Charlie Sheen was married to Denise Richards (2001 – 2006)

Denise Richards dated Paul Walker (1993)

1. The most common time for breakups is around three to five months – So guys & gals if you want to get rid of your significant other and you are in the time range of 3-5 months, dump them and blame it on these facts.
2. Women who post a photo on Internet dating sites receive twice as many email messages as women who don’t. The same study found that men who reported incomes higher than $250,000 received 156% more email than those with $50,000 – So what does it say, its no brainer, guys goes for looks and girls for wallets.
3. If a man can’t decide what to wear on a date, he might want to wear blue. Studies show that women are attracted to men in blue. And a recent research shows women are attracted to men in red. Till we have are certain on this debate how about selecting a more neutral color like pink.
4. Are you looking for a new business to start, well roll-up your sleeves. The online dating industry generates $1.8 billion per year and the matchmaker/dating coach business generates $260 million per year in the United States.
5. Check this out, in the online dating world, women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone “fat.”
6. Are you bald and looking? This one’s for you. In a survey of 5,000 singles conducted by Match.com, 43% said fresh breath mattered the most before a date, 17% said stylish clothes, 15% said sexy fragrance, 14% said good skin, and 10% said hair.
7. Studies show that schools, colleges, coffee shops, and malls are all excellent places to flirt because people are more open to meeting others in these places. Poor locations are restaurants and movie theaters. By the way who goes to movies with the idea of meeting someone.
8. Mirroring, or repeating someone’s body language, often impresses a date because it subtly conveys interest to the other person. Just make sure you don’t go to the length of making the other person think you are making a mockery by copying every move.
9. Bad breath and bad teeth are an instant turn-off for potential dates. People if you have bad teeth or breath fix it. Put dentures, go for deep cleaning, do whatever.
10. When a man first approaches a woman, she will base 55% of her initial impression of him on his appearance and body language, 38% on his style of speaking, and 7% on what he actually says. So if you don’t have the gift of gab stay quite for a while and let the other factors work for you.

Leonardo DiCaprio & Naomi Cambell both made us aware of Blood Diamonds except that Naomi had to visit the War Crimes tribunal in Hague to testify that she indeed had received the blood diamonds. She told the tribunal she was woken in the middle of the night and handed diamonds by men working for African dictator Charles Taylor.

The supermodel revealed that she had been given a pouch containing a number of small gems after a charity event in South Africa hosted by Nelson Mandela in 1997.

She described how she was asleep when two men knocked on the door of her room and handed over a package.

How many of us can say someone just walked in a gifted a pouch of diamonds.

Julia Roberts is a practicing Hindu

While filming the new movie Eat Pray Love in India, the religion had such a profound effect that she returned home as a Hindu. She tells Elle magazie “I am definitely a practising hindu”. She reveals she regularly visits a temple and sometimes even takes her husband and their 3 kids.

What Friends Are For

Laurence Fishburne’s friends made an attempt to purchase all of the DVD’s of a movie made by his daughter Montana Fishburn for a million dollars from Vivid Entertainment. Why? Its a porn DVD and probably they want to save him from embarrasment. On a different note, Montana said – “I want my whole family to be proud of me in anything I do” wheather she was a doctor or a porn star.

I am pretty sure her whole family just can’t wait to get ready with popcorn for the movie night.

Who Needs a Prenup

Well you do if you are worth $120 million dollars. Robbie Williams is all set to marry his fiance Ayda Field in a small wedding ceremony. The two visited lawyers this past month to work our a pre-nuptial agreement. Robbie is the 28th wealthiest person on this year’s Times Music Rich list.

Shameless Plea For Attention

There is no doubt that Lady Gaga’s talent is legit and she has her own style. Her songs are both catchy and original, proving she is far more than a gimmicky, flash in the musical pan. The star watched a semi precious weapons concert in fishnet stockings and a fishnet shirt. That’s shocking even by her standards.

Well don’t get us wrong, its not that we are complaining. But its just she would have saved the jeweled grand-ma panties and fishnets for her boyfriend Luc Carl.

Everyone like their comfort zone. Whether its using the same comforter year after year or driving the same route to our job or the same table at the Starbucks. But then how do you know if you are with someone because they are familiar or because they are right for you. Einstein said – The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again but expecting different results. Go through the following to make sure you never date your Ex again. The following are few steps that might help you avoid dating your Ex again.

What did you disliked most about your Ex?

Please take a minute to clear off your mind of any anger, resentment and if needed take a pillow and punch couple of times. Once you are done make the list and make it more detailed. For e.g. just don’t write you hate the way he acts in public, or you hated his stinginess. Rather think clear what did he do in public that you disliked the most? Did he make you account for every dime? Did he fret when you bought something for yourself?
Remember that you are the common factor in all your relationships. The bad news is that we can keep attracting misers or loosers if we don’t take action and conciously get out of our own way. But once you have this list you will realize the ambiguity is gone, you know for sure what traits of your ex you want to leave behind.

What did you liked most about your Ex?

Well I know it must be little hard but trust me just the fact that you were attracted to him once, he has to have some good qualities. Again in the same way, if you write he was generous, think what did he do that made to feel like that. Was he thoughtful and make you feel you were on his mind in little ways?

Create Your Deal Breakers

Its very important you define your own deal breakers. This will help you spot the red flags and you can move on without spending too much energy . One of my friend decided that he won’t date any woman who is earning more than him, and another friend decided she won’t date any guy who doesn’t have his own apartment and car. Surely there will be times when first impressions are wrong. Times when people change and grow for good. But its very important that we are honest with ourselves about what we are looking for. Take a look at yourself, do you have the traits you are looking for in the other person?

When you are more clear about your likes and dislikes it will help you choose someone who is not a carbon copy of your ex.

So you are into this new relationship with a man and its a great feeling isn’t it? You’re always looking forward to the next time you can be together. You get butterflies in the stomach when he calls you on the phone. But how do you know that he’s telling you the truth and not just taking you along for a nice ride? Do you have doubts that he might be married? Here are some ways you can at least raise a flag and do some more investigation.

• If he has to leave everytime the phone rings there is a good chance he’s trying to hide something. Even if he gives the excuse of his boss calling, think about it. What’s so personal with his boss that he can’t take the call in front of you? Unless of course, his boss is female and is asking him to do some night shifts.
• If he mentions – Iam separated and going to get divorce any hour from now. He might be deceptive. Let me rephrase this, its not that he might be, but that he is deceptive. The best thing to do is walk out and ask him to get a copy of the divorce if he’s interested on a second date.
  If he shows up to your first date driving a Dodge Minivan. There better be a very compelling reason that he is driving one. Look out for stuffed toys or baby stuff in the car. But be wise in your judgement, if he drives a truck one day and a Corvette the next day, you better jump in the car.
• Ask for his home phone number. Although its not foolproof as many people are dropping the landlines in favor of cell phones. Still, this along with other factors can help you find out if he is hiding something.
• He only meet at wierd hours. Like he asked you to meet him at 7:00 am in a coffee shop or he meets you only on Tuesday and Friday. Though there could be factors like university and other obligations to make your meeting hours/days repetitive; this along with other indicators is a good sign he is not flexible with his schedule. Usually a guy would dump all obligations to keep up with his date.
• If you have some doubts just casually tell him you want to drop by his house. Now he comes up with an excuse to stop you from coming; that means only two things – Either he doesn’t own/rent a house and live with his parents or there is someone already taking care of his house. I think either way you don’t want to date this guy.
• When you call him at odd hours it almost always goes to his voice mail and then he calls back, specially at night and weekends. Think about it if someone consistently miss calls, its a fairly good indication that he is not comfortable taking calls at this time. Now if you recall I mentioned night and weekends which means he definitely is not at work, so there is no work excuse not to take calls.
• He is reluctant taking a walk in the mall or in the park or visiting a very popular restaurant and he’s rather more comfortable in secluded places or sitting in the car. This is a bright red sign that he’s married as he wouldn’t risk the chance of getting caught in public places.
• If he’s never around on holidays there is a good chance he is married. Holidays are to spend time with his family. He may meet you a day before or a day later but not on that day.

Rumors are around that Lindsay underwent a cosmetic surgery to have fuller lips before entering the regional detention center. Now this is the kind of dedication Hollywood need today. Don’t let her actions fool you, she is smart as she knew her mugshot will be spread across the internet. Right now what she need is a movie like Shawshank Redemption – where she can serve jail time while shooting the movie.

Ho Hewitt Increased Ratings

In a desperate attempt to increase her ratings, Jennifer Love Hewitt switched roles from being a ghost talker to being a prostitute and voila she did it. The Client List on LifeTime brought in the ratings average of more than 3 million viewers. With her new JOB it seems people really liked her as a prostitute.

Now Papa Lohan in the News

As Lindsay is settling down to the quite life of Lynwood Regional Detention Center, Papa Lohan is making his own headlines. Its being reported that Michael Lohan’s fiance has claimed a domestic violence case against him. I have such high regards for this family. It must be a meticulous planning to make sure that the family gets the utmost attention from media.

Eat-Pray-Love

Its one thing loosing weight for movies as we saw Tom Hanks in Cast Away, Christian Bale in The Machinist, Wills Smith in Seven Pounds, but gaining weight (without special effects) for a movie, and that too by an actress, I call that DARING. Julia Roberts is stepping up to the plate by gaining about 7 pounds for the sake of the movie “Eat, Pray, Love,”. My advice to her – make best use of this time and hog, the media will blame it on the movie.

Donald Trump Suing Airport

When you have money you can sue anyone and anything. And I used to think you sue so you can make money, anyways Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Palm Beach International airport to stop a planned expansion on the facility. Why? Because one of his luxurious homes where he spend a total of 14 hours in a year will be too closer to the airport. Next time you have a delayed flight to or from Palm Beach International airport, sue Donald – who knows he might give away the same luxury home away out of settlement.

If you don’t know the secret “language” of attraction, getting the women you want is going to be a long, hard road. Here are 5 tips to boost your skills at attracting women:

Be Different & Original

What is the common thing that most men do when they ask women out? You guessed right its either a lunch, dinner or just coffee. Don’t try to fake it but try to be little different when you get together and offer to do things that she least expected. You don’t have to break your wallet to be different. For e.g. take her to the highest point in your town where you have a breath taking view of the sunset, take her on a bike ride to this eatery that has a fascinating story behind, invite her for “a walk for cause” events etc.

Make Sure You are the Driver

Women like men who stay in control and have a plan. Make sure you call her up and explain what’s the plan unless its a surprise. Don’t make her work by having to make decisions. Pick her up on time, let her know if she should wear anything specific. When you are there, let her sit back and relax and take care of everything. Aristotle said that – A sign of a mature man is forethought.

Don’t Make Yourself Look Needy

One of the reasons attractive women look so confident is because they know that they have plenty of options. When you know you can walk out the door any time, it makes you much more attractive to women. So take time and create options. The one thing that all men who really are successful with women have in common is that they all have a great lives of their own, and they don’t need a woman in their lives to be happy. So go and look for a hobby before you go hunting.

Keep Some Mystery

Many guys make the mistake of opening the pandora’s box right on the table when they meet someone they are interested in. Let them discover your accomplishments, they will be much more impressed rather than you narrating them. If you drive a Ferrari you don’t have to wear a shirt with the its logo or wear a Ferrari watch to show your affinity towards the brand – that’s pure cockiness.

Be Unpredictable & Make Her Earn It

Two biggest thing women long for in relationship – anticipation and excitement. Men often make the mistake of being too predictable and thus loose the spark. So the next time you said you will call on a day – skip the day and tell her you were busy with your work, invite her over to take her out for dinner and take her to movies instead. If you keep her guessing you won’t have any problem keeping her around.

Also there is an old saying – People don’t value things that they don’t work for. The same apply to romance and dating also. Make sure you are not the only one putting all the efforts in the relationship. Occasionally make her come over to pick you up, help you with small errands. More work she puts into the relationship, the more she will value it.

There was a research done by an online dating site and they released interesting analytics that demonstrate the set of rules for what you shouldn’t say when you are introducing yourself online.

The research looked at keywords and phrases and how they effected the response rates.

Show That You are Literate

You Wrote: Hey wazzup .. howz going ?

Bad grammar, spelling and net-speak (ur, ya, luv,wat, dat, u, cud) are almost always a huge turn-off. It also demonstrate your low level of maturity and doesn’t go well with people you don’t know. However while expressing amusement there are certain exceptions – its ok to use lol, ha ha till you keep the message grammatical and punctuated.

Its Early For Physical Compliments

You wrote: I saw ur profile and u look gorgeous

This is more directed at guys as they are more likely to talk about looks. Make sure your choice of words to compliment are more general – cool, nice, pretty, great. People normally like compliments however when they are part of pick-up lines before you have met in person, its becomes a little cheesy.

Be Creative With Your Greeting

You wrote: Hey how’s it going?

The way you choose to start your first message is actually the first impression of your first impression. Research indicates its smarter to use no traditional salutations and write straight away whatever you have to start. So instead of a – hi, hello. The more informal greetings – what’s up, howdy set a more casual tone and most people prefer that way.

Bring Up Specific Interests

You wrote: Hi there I read your profile. Do you know ‘Three Doors Down’ is playing downtown next week?

Talking about specific things that you might have in common with someone is a great way to make a connection. Its even more effective when you use phrases that engage the reader’s own interest or indicate that you have read their profile. The following graph obtained from okcupid is an excellent example -

Become an Atheist, It Helps

You wrote: Just to let you know I am a hardcore atheist

If you follow a religion that is fine but it helps you most if you have no religion. No offense against any religion but that’s what the research indicates. The following is another graph obtained from okcupid that indicates being atheist does help get the attention -

Some argue that an emotional affair is harmless because it is more casual than traditional cheating; however, the intimacy of the communication, and the emotional energy invested by the people involved, places an emotional affair on the same level  as traditional cheating or sometimes even worse. Now a days its good to have intimate chat transcripts to file for a divorce on the grounds of infidelity.

Emotional cheating starts when people misunderstand the fundamental rules of marriage. The following are some of the typical signs of emotional affair and are the bright red flags telling you to immediately apply your brakes -

• You enjoy sharing jokes and gossip with friends or colleagues of the opposite sex, instead of your partner.
• You spend as much time and energy buying the right gift for a friend or colleague of the opposite sex as you do for your partner.
• You prefer to discuss your work and sometimes even personal problems thoroughly at work with colleagues of the opposite sex, leaving out your spouse.
• You are enjoying having long lunches or after work drinks with colleagues of the opposite sex – and you seldom talk business.
• You pay extra attention to how you look before you see him or her in the office.

In “Emotional Infidelity: How to Avoid it” Gary Newman  says that emotional cheating is caused by squandered emotional energy and the following are some of the common mistakes that often lead to emotional infidelity -

• Couples no longer focus on their marriage and partnership after children are born.
• Couples try to keep an emotional distance because they don’t wish to have any need of their partner that much.
• Couples spend too much of their emotional energy on people outside their marriage – parents, colleagues, friends etc.

While it is very normal and healthy for people to have friendships outside the marriage with men and women, an emotional affair threatens the emotional bond between spouses, and nothing is more harmful to a marriage than the breakdown of the emotional bond couples have for each other.
