Affiliate Marketing Secrets

This question is for the ladies. Please try not to get too defensive. I am seeking information here, not trying to disrespect. My ex girlfriend wore them all the time and I wonder what the intention was. She also wore these tiny, sexy little Victoria’s Secret thongs. I’ve read about the bras being worn to make tops fit better and how some women just want to feel good about themselves, but I wonder, does any of that “feeling good about themselves” have to do with enjoying the feeling of being desired by other men? Is there a component to it that does indeed want to attract that kind of attention from men?
Ladies, you must feel quite sexy when you’re wearing these kinds of things. But why do you need or want to feel sexy like that when you’re away from your boyfriend/husband? You say it’s to feel good about yourself, but what if we wore frontally padded thong underwear to augment or enhance our selves, the kind that has a sheath around the shaft and a little fabric sac and nothing else? Doesn’t it stand to reason that if we’re going out like that WITHOUT you, be it to work, or out with our friends, wearing padded lingerie underwear that we’re up to something counter to the relationship?
I know for me, if I FEEL sexy then I am much more aware of myself and everyone else around me sexually. I can’t understand why I would want or feel the need to do that unless I had an intention to appear sexually available or involve myself sexually with others some how. And if I was really totally committed to my girlfriend or wife, I wouldn’t feel the need AT ALL to look or feel sexy when I’m not around her. I don’t want or need that kind of attention because I am off the market and satisfied.
I can understand looking good, as in professional or presentable, well groomed and feeling good about yourself THAT way, but I think there is something wrong with wanting to look sexy, away from your spouse, as a way to make yourself feel good. I would think that if that’s what is going on, then you are either looking to cheat, meet, flirt, or need validation from other men in order to feel good about yourself. All bad things for an exclusive committed relationship.
I’ve thought about this a lot and the whole, “I dress sexy for myself” argument doesn’t wash. WHY do you want, or feel the need, to look and feel sexually attractive away from your boyfriend or husband unless it’s to validate yourself through the sexual desire/attention of other men, or because you have intentions that are outside the boundaries of your current exclusive committed relationship? To me, it’s like if I wore these really tight jeans and stuffed a sock in my pants and went to work and out without my wife or girlfriend and then told her that I did that to feel good about myself or to make my pants fit better. Or I said, “Hey, I’ve always dressed like that, so get over it.” I know I would be lying because there’s no need to do that unless I’m up to something. So how is this different for women? I really don’t buy it. Please help me understand.

A lot of people say I’m scared to take risk and every opportunity that comes my way. For example; at my job I been offered a management position, an Loss prevention and another Sale position that offers me $1 more than I make. All my superiors say I’m a good worker, and I’m good at my job. But I don’t see it compare to others I think they’re better than me.
I want to take the positions that’s handed to me, but for some reason I think I will do bad. Every time I think about it something negative pops up in my head.
In my past I failed a lot. Everything I do. From school, projects, jobs, and even relationships.
To be honest I really want to be a manager or a store mAnager. But the way I’m living now I don’t think I will ever be one.
I’m 21 minimum wage job. Not in college.

I know this probably seems weird but I love discussions like this, we all have our views about things and part of me just wanted to talk about them. I never mean to offend anyone and if you don’t think you can talk about this then don’t. but my views always seem so different from other people and they even change over time. but right now I consider things even for men and women and always have, when i was younger the way I looked at things like this was much stronger then now. Back then I never understood other people I always thought “why even date anyone right now it’s not going to last we are so young” always seemed to me in school everyone was dating and it always seemed so stupid to me, there’s no way your going to be with the girl you dated in the 4th grade, 6th grade, heck probably not even in high school at all. isn’t the point of dating to be with someone for the rest of your life isn’t that the point of all relationships? and dating so young there is almost no way your going to find the one. Although to me that would be something amazing to be with someone that long if something like that could happen I would be in shock and awe of those two. With me I always wanted to do nothing intimate with anyone but my future wife I knew she was out there somewhere and I waited to remain faithful until I met her even if she doesn’t know me yet, I knew we’d meet one day I never wanted to tell another girl I love you, I never wanted to kiss another girl, I never wanted to do anything sexual with anyone but her, and I still feel that way today. I want to be completely faithful, but I learned in a world like this that would be nearly impossible. My views were so strong for so long things started to loosen up when I was 16 and half, then I met the world and I started to realize things were probably not going to work the way I imagined to me if I kept on thinking the way I did I would think badly of almost anyone. To me sex was something you only did with someone you love but then there are the people who have one night stands, who have sex with multiple people, have an open relationship, or have sex with someone you don’t love. yes I know a lot of the world does the things I will say but it’s just how I feel to me those people are whore’s even having an affair or cheating makes me think that person would be too, what one person not enough for you? to me even having sexual relations with too many people (sexual relations meaning anything at all considered sexual) does the same, if you can’t count that number of people on one hand that is. there are two kinds of whores and man whores to me, there are the literal whores who get paid for sex then there are the people who take sex to too much of an extreme by my means. but my views split for me and others I kept the views when I was younger for me only and hopefully my future wife but that’s probably not going to happen. to me having flings (flings meaning anything romantic with someone you just met or don’t love ie. kissing, dirty dancing etc.) makes you go towards being a mut/slut (yes mut is man form of slut sorry for being kindergarten here but women have a word that always slanders them and men don’t) With the way I use to think people like that I didn’t even consider people at all, now I do I just don’t like them or like to be around them or anyone affiliated with them at all. for myself though my views are harsher on me if i could ever shift my views more like this dating world I would only be able to have sex with two people but for the rest of my life I would regret doing that, I want to wait till marriage and it’s hard to be with someone who didn’t because most likely they won’t want to. but even in a situation like that things would be hard for me I always just figured my future wife would have the same views as me and the more I got to understand others I saw the possibility of that dropping to zero and I’m not just talking about waiting till marriage. but maybe I have too high of expectations, I probably do but we’re all different. when I was young I was told that some day you will meet your wife and your wife is suppose to be the person your suppose to be with forever. This how I think now i’m sure I would think differently if for example I had sex with someone who wasn’t going to be my potential wife because we broke up then I would think a lot differently and I really don’t want something like that to happen. but I just wanted to know what other people think about a subject like this how do you think about all of this, there’s no such thing as a whore? sex is a natural thing? it doesn’t matter? I’d really just like to know with reasons.

I’ve been reading up on them, and understand that these are some of the “rules” for protecting legitimate business interests in a non-compete:
1. Protecting Trade Secrets
2. Maintaining valuable confidential business or professional information
3. Preserving relationships with specific prospective or existing customers, patients, or clients
4. Defending goodwill associated with an ongoing business or professional practice, by way of a trademark, geographic location, or marketing/trade area
5. Maximizing Investment In Extraordinary Or Specialized Training
I’m having trouble understanding number 4 only. Can someone please provide a brief explanation of what it means?
Thank you so much!

Gay male in my early 20’s here. A few weeks ago, I met this guy. At first I never would’ve considered getting involved with him cause he lives nearly 2 hours away but we have so much in common, more than probably with anyone I’ve ever known. We started talking all day every day, and he made no secret of the fact that he really likes me and was falling for me. He’d keep telling me I’m the hottest guy he’s ever seen, I’m amazing, he’s never felt like this before. I thought it was really sweet, but at times, veered off into feeling a little bit too much like idolization (For example, I’m an actor and he watched a movie I was in and told me “You first come on screen two minutes and 42 seconds in”). Anyway though, we began seeing each other. He came here, then I went there, and we both kept saying how much we like each other. But here’s the kicker…he’s leaving for Australia next week and doesn’t come back until June! However, he’s kept talking about our plans for when he gets back and the summer and stuff – even mentioned us living together (yet we’ve never really talked about what we are, if we’re officially in a relationship or what)
So last night, we’re texting and he tells me loves me (which he hadn’t directly said before) and then tells me to check Facebook. He sent me a message, which I found VERY strange. It was saying about how he’s happy that he’s leaving because he’s crazy about me and he knows that if he were staying, he’d push me away because that’s what he does with people. He said that because he’s “always gotten screwed over” in his previous relationships, that’s all he knows (He’s only been out of the closet recently and has never been with a guy before. He’s only dated girls – all of whom he deceived into believing he was straight. So I find it a bit hard to swallow that he supposedly got so screwed over by these girls). He then said that I shouldn’t wait for him (As if I had ANY intention of doing so) and said that while he’s away, he’s gonna be dating guys who he can make these mistakes with because they don’t mean as much to him as I do and said that when he gets back, he’s gonna call “the only person he’s ever loved” and that I should expect that call.
This message bothered me a little – I didn’t like how he was whining about getting “screwed over” and pushing people away, I also didn’t like having to hear about all the guys he’s gonna hook up with – but I thought maybe I was being irrational and I’d let it go. Then he keeps texting me and asking if I got it. I said “I did. So am I really the only person you’ve ever loved? hehe ;)” He writes back saying “Psh yeah! I mean well, I haven’t been on the market long but still” …Not so much the answer I wanted to hear. His whole demeanor felt different. So I “jokingly” wrote back saying “Oh you’d probably say that to any guy who was here lol” So he writes back saying “Well I love everything I know about you and being with you. It’s too soon for I love you’s though now that I think about it [Um who’s the one person who said that though?! Not me!!]. I could be hooking up with lots of guys that are closer!” That was it, I was really mad! I didn’t respond and then like an hour later, I get another text saying “Lol, that may have been me impulsively pushing away”.
I felt like I had had it, so after a lot of thought, I sent back a text saying “And Matt, this is me doing the same.” So he immediately responded “How so?” but I didn’t know what to say, and it was like 3am so I just went to sleep. It’s annoying because I can’t even say in words how he’s gone on and on and on about how nuts he is over me. He said one night he was paranoid and binge drinking and freaking out cause I hadn’t immediately responded to a text of his (I was at work, it took me a few hours!), he said how he talks about me to everyone, his entire Facebook statuses and everything are always about me, there are nearly 2000 texts between us in my phone, etc etc etc. I’m just not sure what to do
Another is… I do like him. On paper, we’re perfect for each other. That said, I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy, maybe it’s just that I’m not used to it being easy, but….something’s missing. With the few guys I’ve previously really liked, I was SO certain. When we kissed, it felt like fireworks going off, I wanted to know everything about them, and be around them every second of every day. I do really like him and think I’d miss him terribly if we were to just stop talking. But I don’t have that fireworks feeling, yknow? He’s attractive but he’s not a good kisser and he smells like an old lady’s attic. Now I don’t know
