What would you get rid of after a break up?

No matter how you get over a break up, a broken relationship can leave behind unwanted memories. And the last thing you might want lying around the home is memoirs of your ex. Perhaps it's the photos framed in your bedroom, or the love letters stored in a shoe box. Maybe it's a stuffed animal boasting "I love you" that he or she gave you one year on Valentine's Day.

So what would you do? Would you keep a souvenir to remind you of the good times you had? Or get rid of every lasting memory?

Would you eat less in the company of the opposite sex?

Apparently is has been proven that women do. Some scientists and psychologists have claimed that women eat less when they dine in the company of men so that they can appear to be more attractive. Whatever happened to being yourself?

The study compared the food choices women make when dining with their female friends where they opted for larger portions or more indulgent foods. Men seemed to eat what they wanted no matter who was with them.

What would you choose when dining with a date?

Pray before making love... would you?

A book has been written and published by a prominent church group in the UK to encourage Roman Catholic couples to pray together before having sex. The book titled "Prayer Book for Spouses" is intended for married couples and helps them to "purify their intentions".

It reminds couples that intercourse is a selfless act and "hedonistic" behaviour. But the prayer implores God "to place within us love that truly gives, tenderness that truly unites, self-offering that tells the truth and does not deceive, forgiveness that truly receives, loving physical union that welcomes".

What do you think? Would it make sex a more holy experience? Share your thoughts on this topic.

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend

Australian mines are some of the largest producers of diamonds in the world. It's our most popular gemstone, and as the song goes, a girl's best friend. So I want to know, mining men, have any of you mined diamonds? Perhaps you're currently working in the diamond industry. Surely that would work in your favour and impress any girl you've dated.

Do mining men have an advantage in the dating game?

Are independent and successful women intimidating?

Many women are getting advanced degrees and pursuing their careers with great vigor. They are also staying single, but is this involuntarily? As a successful woman, when you tell a man about your MBA; your penchant for competing religiously in triathlons; or your doctorate of Clinical Psychology, do the men instantly head in the other direction?

Kris Frieswick of MSN Money believes she has a solution. In her article 'Too Successful for a mate?' she states that a lot of successful women are setting unrealistic expectations for a partner. They look for someone who is just as successful as they are, if not more successful. Kris suggests adjusting those expectations and looking for only those that are relevant to a happy relationship.
Men, do you find successful and independent women intimidating or do you find them more attractive?
Successful single ladies, do you feel its true that your expectations are set too high?
