10 Things You Will Learn From Dating An Independent Woman





by Sarita King

A lot of people imagine that independent women are some sort of mystical creature, or maybe a goddess or ven a myth. However, independent women are very real, very successful, and loads of fun to get to know. They have weaknesses and strengths just like everybody else but they are beautifully determined and unarguably have power to better the world. So, what is it like to date an independent woman?


1. She will inspire you

Independent women have the capacity to face life’s challenges with a courageous heart. They have fears of failure like everyone else, but more than anything they are afraid of going through life without fulfilling their potential. Their “I-can-do-anything” personality will sure shake your perceptions about how you may be living your own life, and inspire you to achieve your dreams.




2. She does not believe in clinginess

Want a woman that is totally obsessed with your looks and cannot help but be all over you in private and in public? Then an independent woman is not for you. Independent women know how to show their love, and the appropriate times to do so. They understand that a ‘significant other’ is a part of their lives and not their entire life. In short, they have a life outside of you.


3. She may be help-deprived

The most amazing characteristic about the independent woman is also her biggest enemy. Her independence may get in the way of asking for help. She may see asking for help as a sign of weakness or an interposition. Step in and offer to help but be sure not to overstep your boundaries. If she says “no” to your offer for help, leave it at that and wait until she changes her mind.


4. She needs a strong significant other

Independent women need someone that understands them and gives them their space. Only a significant other that has a life of their own and who values independence will be able to meet the independent woman’s needs.



5. She loves to travel alone

Independent women are not afraid to take an adventure on their own. Whether they go down to the beach or halfway around the world, they see traveling alone as the freedom they need to make the most of their traveling experience.


6. She may have few friends

Independent women can be very intimidating! For this reason, independent women tend to have a lot of acquaintances but very few close friends. Because of their I-can-do-it-on-my-own attitude, sometimes they may not be approachable. However, when you embrace their attitude of independence you will sure gain a close and loyal companion.


7. She is not afraid to be alone

No friends available Tuesday night to try out that new Thai place around the corner or to watch the latest Matthew McConaughey movie? Not a problem for the independent woman. The independent woman is not afraid of sitting alone and having a “romantic” evening where she gets to clear their thoughts and ponder new ideas. She is also not the least bit intimidated of sitting alone in a movie theater and enjoying the show.


8. She thrives on her independence

Everyone at work slacking on the latest assignment? While super frustrating, that is quite alright for the independent woman. She knows what she is capable of accomplishing and isn’t afraid to take on whatever career challenges come her way. She thrives on working alone and because she controls the outcome.


9. She loves to love

While she may seem distant at times, the independent woman loves to love. She may not be the most affectionate partner but she is stunningly thoughtful in how she displays her love.


10. She follows Shakespeare’s advice

Finally, the independent woman loves to follow Shakespeare’s advice—”To thine own self be true”—and she takes it to heart. She knows who she is and what she wants. Don’t mistake her firmness for rudeness, she just knows when to say “no” and when to move on. Don’t be afraid to embrace her self-worth and appreciate her candid take on how she should be treated.




Top 5 Questions Every Man Should Ask His Girlfriend To Sustain Their Relationship





So, when was the last time you communicated with your girlfriend on a deeper level? Sure, many guys find communication intimidating, but have you ever thought about the level of understanding you share with her? To understand a woman, you would need to know her completely, and emotional attachment is as important as being physically involved with a person.

Your comfort level with your girlfriend should reach a level where both of you can talk about anything without any inhibitions, and when both partners understand each other completely, a beautiful relationship can sustain. Here’s a list of the 5 best questions to ask your girlfriend which will reveal many details about her personality and help strengthen your relationship.


1. What is your favorite activity to do with me?

Asking your girlfriend this question will help you identify whether you share the same interests and hobbies. If you like bowling and she likes cycling, you may have to rethink your plans the next time you are together. Learning her answer to this question will help you find compromise in your relationship when it comes to planning things together.


2. How far do you want our relationship to go?

Both of you need to be aware of how the other feels about where the relationship is headed. If the two of you have different expectations then you are better off knowing now rather than finding out later and getting hurt.



3. Do you trust me on every level?

Trust is absolutely the biggest part of any relationship. If she doesn’t trust you, then there is within your relationship that needs to be discussed and worked out immediately. Find out whether or not her mistrust is justified or if it stems from her own insecurities.


4. Do you feel comfortable coming to me about anything?

For women, talking and sharing are bonding experiences which help them build solid relationships, but if she says that she doesn’t feel comfortable, you should reflect on whether or not you make yourself open and available to her. Encourage her to open up without offering any solutions or trying to change her feelings. If you have done this technique, it may be a personal problem or emotional baggage that keeps her from opening up.


5. When are you the happiest with our relationship?

This question forces her to think of positives about the relationship, and her answer will also give you some ideas about what you can focus on that will make the relationship even stronger. Be sure that you have thought of an answer yourself, because she is likely to turn the question back on you!

Cristiano Ronaldo set two personal milestones as he led Real Madrid to a record-equalling 18th-straight win on a historic night at the Bernabeu.




_79562541_ronaldo


Cristiano Ronaldo set two personal milestones as he led Real Madrid to a record-equalling 18th-straight win on a historic night at the Bernabeu.


The Portugal forward has now scored more hat-tricks than any other La Liga player after completing his 23rd treble with his 200th Spanish top-flight goal.


He put Madrid ahead by drilling in a disputed penalty, after he had been fouled under seemingly minimal contact.


And his clinical volley and guided finish moved Real four points clear.


Ronaldo, who is the favourite to win the 2014 Ballon d’Or for his performances this year, was given a standing ovation as he was substituted towards the end of another memorable performance.


The 29-year-old had scored the same amount of hat-tricks as legendary Madrid forward Alfredo Di Stefano and Telmo Zarra of Athletic Bilbao, and eclipsed their tallies when he steered in Marcelo’s cross.



And it also meant he reached his second century of La Liga goals in his 178th match for Real.


Ronaldo illuminated the Bernabeu in the final stages of what had been a largely uninspiring performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s side against mid-table Celta.


Celta shaded possession against their illustrious rivals, but failed to have a meaningful shot on target at Iker Casillas’ goal.


And Ronaldo took advantage to fire Madrid to their 18th successive victory in all competitions – matching the Spanish record set by Frank Rijkaard’s Barcelona between October 2005 and January 2006.


Meanwhile, defending champions Atletico Madrid moved up to secondafter a 2-0 win at Elche earlier on Saturday, although Barcelona can overtake – and reduce the gap on Real back to two points when they host Espanyol on Sunday.

Sony Hack ‘Unparalleled and Well Planned Crime,’ Cyber Security Firm Says






michael-lynton-sony


Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton told employees of the embattled studio Saturday that the hack attack that has resulted in the leak of employees’ personal information and internal business documents is unprecedented in nature.


Lynton’s email message was obtained by Variety and includes a note from Kevin Mandia, the founder of the cyber security firm Mandiant that Sony has tapped in recent weeks to help it respond to the breach.


Mandia argues that Sony could not have been fully prepared for the assault because “the scope of this attack differs from any we have responded to in the past, as its purpose was to both destroy property and release confidential information to the public. The bottom line is that this was an unparalleled and well planned crime, carried out by an organized group.”


The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and Sony has been working with law enforcement officials to try to figure out the cause of the attack and to stop the dissemination of its business information. Mandia’s words also serve to combat any criticism that Sony was inadequately protected against a cyber assault of this nature.


The hacking has left Sony reeling. Personal information of its 3,803 employees has leaked online, along with a spreadsheet purportedly listing salaries of top studio executives. Five of the studio’s films, including “Annie” and “Still Alice,” turned up on the Internet, where they have been widely pirated. On Friday, a threatening email was sent to employees warning them and their families of “danger.”


A group calling itself Guardians for Peace has taken credit for the attack, and there has been speculation that North Korea might be involved in the hacking as retaliation for “The Interview,” an upcoming Sony comedy about a plot to assassinate the country’s leader Kim Jong-un starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.


Here’s the full text of Lynton and Mandia’s messages:



Over the last week, some of you have asked about the strength of our information security systems and how this attack could have happened. There is much we cannot say about our security protocols for obvious reasons, but we wanted to share with you a note we received today from Kevin Mandia, the founder of the expert cybersecurity firm that is investigating the cyber-attack on us. The investigation is ongoing, but Mr. Mandia’s note is helpful in understanding the nature of what we are dealing with. Full text below.


We also want to thank you once again for your resilience and resourcefulness in carrying out our critical day-to-day activities under incredibly stressful circumstances. As a result of your efforts, we have made great progress moving our business forward, and we will continue to do so.


— — —

Dear Michael,


As our team continues to aid Sony Pictures’ response to the recent cyber-attack against your employees and operations, I wanted to take a moment to provide you with some initial thoughts on the situation.


This attack is unprecedented in nature. The malware was undetectable by industry standard antivirus software and was damaging and unique enough to cause the FBI to release a flash alert to warn other organizations of this critical threat.


In fact, the scope of this attack differs from any we have responded to in the past, as its purpose was to both destroy property and release confidential information to the public. The bottom line is that this was an unparalleled and well planned crime, carried out by an organized group, for which neither SPE nor other companies could have been fully prepared.




We are aggressively responding to this incident and we will continue to coordinate closely with your staff as new facts emerge from our investigation.


Sincerely,

Kevin Mandia

Mario Balotelli charged by English FA over ‘racist’ instagram post  




Mario



Is what he posted (left) racist though? English FA seem to think so. Liver Pool striker striker Mario Balotelli has been charged by the Football Association for posting an image of the Nintendo character, Super Mario on instagram and writing “jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a jew”

Just a few hours after Balotelli posted it on December 1, many people said they found it offensive and accused him of Racism and Antisemitism.

Balotelli deleted the image after it caused a lot of controversy, denied the accusations of racism and then issued an apology on Facebook to people who found the pic offensive…




Despite the public apology, the FA still charged him.

Ballotelli submitted his observation of the post to the FA committee yesterday Dec. 5th, stating he had no intention of being racial with the photo and that he has also been a victim of racial attacks before. He was subsequently charged under rule E3, which cites as “aggravating factors” references to ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, faith, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

The FA in its charge said “It is alleged the Liverpool player breached FA Rule E3 (1) in that his posting was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper. It is further alleged that this is an ‘Aggravated Breach’ as defined by FA Rule E3[2] as it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race and/or nationality and/or religion or belief. The player has until 6pm on 15 December 2014 to respond to the charge.”
