This article delves into the common tendency among women to prioritize a man's words over his actions, exploring how this can lead to disappointment in relationships. By understanding the significance of both verbal and non-verbal communication, women can empower themselves to seek more authentic connections and avoid being misled.
One of the biggest traps in life is cynicism. Cynicism is not the same as questioning, doubting or being skeptical. If we are just skeptical we have an open mind, but just need more proof. If we are cynical we have already made up our mind...
Are we relationship material? Boy this sounds like a loaded question. A question that I have been spending quality time asking myself.
In the 1990s, many of the equestrians I encountered believed that animals were incapable of thought and emotion. “It’s all instinct,” one of my trainers told me whenever I brought up anecdotal evidence to the contrary.
