How to become a sensuous dirty old man?
March 13, 2010
What is it about:
The book “The sensuous dirty old man” is a short humorous guide on how to boldly but respectfully flirt with a woman.
Summary by a critic: “….. Dr. A touches on … the stare, the leer, the snicker, the snort, the fatherly squeeze, the uncle-ish tweak, and the ‘problems’: what do you say when the husband arrives? …”
Here comes a surprise:
Dr. A who authored this book is Isaac Asimov. Yes, the greatest sci-fi writer of all times (alternative opinions are tolerated). I’m very grateful that this book did not present itself in front of me in my teenager years. Otherwise, young and prejudice, I would never have laid my eyes on any of his other masterpieces. Now, older and wiser, discovery of this book has, unsurprisingly, elevated my respect for Dr. A.
Quotes from the book:
- “Sex is dirty, if you do it right.”
- “Don’t peep at girls — stare.”
- (On men trying hard to not look at a young and scantily clad girl when she walks into a hardware store:)
- (On how to use touches:)
“Here is a charming young lady, …, struggling with squeals of delight into an upper and lower garment … an exact 1.5 size too small. She is then sent off to the hardware store, bashfully aware that she is pretty, and overlapping in all directions, and simply waiting for someone to take notice of her so that she might dimple and curtsy in appreciation.”
“And what happens? The clods don’t look at her but find themselves overwhelmingly interested in samples of wall-sockets. What is that but a clear indication that the clods would rather plug into the wall-sockets, so to speak, than into the young lady.”
“… during a moment of passionate political argument at the dinner table, the hand of the man on her immediate right … came unwittingly to rest upon her own right knee. … it was when he was demonstrating … his left hand, overshooting its mark, landed on her knee. Had the tablecloth not hidden the entire operation, she is convinced the gentleman would have noticed his mistake.”
“The young lady in question waited a polite interval for the mistake to be corrected. When it was not, she … whispered freezingly, ‘Sir, you are taking an unendurable liberty. If you do not remove your hand from my knee within half an hour, I shall scream.’ “
“It was no more than fifteen minutes, you can be sure, before the gentleman had removed his hand in some confusion.”

Can you predict the success of a relationship by watching a couple talking with each other?
From Blink, the Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm GladwellJohn Gottman is the lead of the “love lab” of University of Washington. On predicting whether a couple will stay married 15 years later, he has
95% accuracy by watching the couple talking for 60 mins.
90% accuracy by watching the couple talking for 15 mins.Signs he focuses on are:
- defensiveness
- stonewalling
- criticism
- contempt
Among which contempt is the most critical of all. “You would think that criticism would be the worst, … But if I speak from a superior plane (contempt), that’s far more damaging.”
[Zeebees] So, respect for each other is the sign you can use to predict the success of a relationship. What do you think is the most underlying factor of a successful of a relationship. I would say trust. What do you think?

A girlfriend application form. Probably a lot of information you want to find out but never dared to ask. My friend P sent me this a while back. Short and entertaining. Ads may not be safe for work.

By the way, the movie “Every Thing You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, but Were Afraid to Ask” by Woody Allen is an audacious and ludicrous movie that should be on your movie list. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068555/
Are exclusive men more intelligent?
March 4, 2010
Recent research found a statistically significant correlation between higher IQ and sexual exclusivity in men. There is no similar correlation in women. Also found is a correlation between higher IQ and liberalism and atheism. [Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the London School of Economics and Political Science.]
Link: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/26/liberals.atheists.sex.intelligence/index.html
I am incredulous of this result since it does not make sense evolutionarily. The explanation for this result is a bit far stretched. Nonetheless, it is a positive result that if used properly, pushes morality towards the right direction. :)
How much of your brain is for sex?
March 4, 2010
- Size of body parts corresponds to number of neurons in the brain. Illustrated by Joan M.K. Tycko.
You may think your brain dedicates a significant portion of itself to your sex organ. Surprise!
A tongue in cheek excerpt from ” The Accidental Mind” by David J. Linden
Most people who look at the sensory homunculus [pic on the left] long enough will eventually stammer out something like, “Given how sensitive the genitals are, shouldn’t they be larger?” … One potential explanation for the size issue hinges on the need to be more precise when we say “sensitive to touch.” The parts of the homunculus that have huge representations (such as hands, lips, and tongue) are not merely able to detect faint sensations but can also discriminate the location of these sensations very precisely. … The genitals, while they can easily detect faint sensations, cannot accomplish tactile form perception. In the spirit of old-fashioned natural philosophy, you can experiment with this at home. In this way, they are somewhat like the cornea of the eye: quite sensitive to faint sensations …, but without an ability to precisely locate those sensations.

If your profile isn’t getting the attention that you’d hoped… freshen it up with a new primary photo.
Tight headshots are ideal. True, photos of you in front of the Eiffel Tower are wildly impressive. But you’re the main attraction.
Don’t get lost in the crowd. It’s tempting, to want to show off your friends, kids, and pets in your main picture. Resist that urge. These supportive players can claim another slot in your photo gallery.
Smiles attract. Yours is a beaut! Show it off.
Own it, and keep it decent. Don’t upload a photo that isn’t yours. And don’t display anything that would cause your best friend’s mother to blush.
On the pesky technical side, the guidelines are few: keep your (JPG, GIF, or BMP) image under 2MB.
Mostly… have fun and express your best self.
