Sex: Bold Things Women Want In Bed

DatWhen it comes to sex, do you imagine that your girl thinks that doggy style is as bold as it gets? Well, if that's true, then you have a whole lot to learn about your girl. Most women, especially in this day and age, are very in touch with their bodies and their carnal desires.

Rough love
The thing is, if you plan to spend most of your life in monogamous relationships, you are going to have to try your hand, and other parts of your body, at new things. You gotta keep it interesting. The problem is, women are the ones who usually garner the sexual control in a relationship, so it's up to you to get her to open up so that you and she can realize her sexual desires.
That said, check out some things that your girl might want to do in bed but may not bring up for fear that you will judge or think less of her. If you're confident in your relationship and her loyalty, then getting it on in the following ways should be a welcome treat.

1- Having aggressive sex
Whereas S&M might be pushing it, I have yet to meet a woman who doesn't like being ravaged by a lover. Why? It's all about psychology; if you ravage a woman, she can believe that you were in control and she was the damsel in distress.
The next time you and your girl are about to have sex: Turn her around, hold her wrists behind her back with one hand, and wrap your other hand around her hair, lightly pulling it. Penetrate her, doggy style. If she moans with delight, then she's into it. After a few minutes, turn her around, place a hand over her neck and penetrate her frantically in the missionary position until you come to fruition.

On to three more things she wants to do...

2- Dominating you
Many women are more comfortable having sex in the dark. It may be due to insecurity regarding their bodies, but it's also because in the dark, she can be someone else. She can adopt a different personality, one that's completely confident and in control.
Even if you put on a simple blindfold, her sexual methods will change. She will adopt a more dominant stance, she'll ride you better, she'll make more noise, she might even start talking dirty.
The next time you and your girl are about to have sex: Blindfold her and do things to her that you wouldn't usually do. For example, if you rarely penetrate her missionary style, then kiss her and go at it. Then, take the blindfold off her eyes and place them over your own. As well, turn off all the lights. See what happens.

3- Kissing another woman
While the fantasy would dictate that we'd love to sleep with another woman, most women I've spoken with revealed that they would go so far as to kiss and caress a woman, but not go down on her. As well, you likely would not be able to get it on with said other woman.
There's something seemingly harmless about getting it on with another woman that makes it appealing, and of course, knowing that you'd probably enjoy seeing her kiss another woman makes it all the more so.
The next time you and your girl are about to have sex: Ask her if she's ever fantasized about another woman. If so, ask her to describe the scene and what goes on between her and her vulvatic counterpart. Who knows, maybe by letting her know that it turns you on, you'll end up getting a real visual.

4- Using a vibrator
Women enjoy different sensations, as do you, I'm sure. However, neither a penis nor a mouth can measure up to the sensation of quick vibrations against the clitoris.
Rubbing a vibrator against her vagina while you penetrate her will drive her crazy, no doubt. And many women want to feel the sensation of a vibrator without the underlying fear that their man is taking offense to it. There's never a need to compare yourself to a sex toy because nothing equates to the feeling of a man.
The next time you and your girl are about to have sex: Pull out a simple vibrator -- one with no bells and whistles -- and spread her legs apart. Rub the vibrator against her clitoris and watch her squirm with delight.

The nastier, the better

It's up to you and your girl to make your sex life as great as it can be. That said, let her know that it's okay if she wants to try things that are out of the ordinary and that she can feel safe doing so.
Remember; most women want to be bold and crazy in bed, and if they know for sure that you won't judge them if they become more daring, you may just end up with a few wild ones on your hands.

Sex: The Lesbian Fascination

Picture it: A guy is watching late night TV and flipping through hundreds of channels, when all of a sudden, his world stops. There are two women enjoying each other. It doesn't even matter if the channel is scrambled or not. His fears, his anxiety, and his dirty dishes have suddenly disappeared from his mind. His world is now euphoric because he is watching two girls experimenting on each other. Nothing matters anymore, except for two females fondling each other. He can rest in peace.
Late night delight
How many men watch TV late at night? My guess is that about 99% of the men reading this article have stopped dead in their tracks to watch two women make love . Chances are, many of you are reading this article because you have noticed the word lesbian .
Women have attempted to figure out this male fascination, but there seems to be no concrete explanation. I don't understand it personally. Still, I took the time to think about it and came up with 3 reasons why men are so intrigued by two women having sex.
Bi the way
It's not that men are simply fascinated by lesbians; they are more attracted to bisexual women. So when a man watches two women, he needs to believe that he actually has a chance with them. He imagines that they are interested in men. As much as two women can pleasure each other, it never feels the same as having a penis. Men understand that, which is why they believe that two women who just had sex with each other, usually are not completely satisfied. They may be 99% satisfied, but reaching the ultimate orgasm usually occurs with the help of a penis. As long as men think that they have a chance with a bisexual woman, they remain attracted.
Peeping toms
From what I have been told, men often look at women having sex and subconsciously think "poor little women, they are so fragile and weak, they need a big man like me to protect them" . Men love to be in control and to know what's going on. Watching two women is like a sneak peak inside all those pajama parties you heard girls had in high school. All of a sudden, men know what two girls do when they are alone: they kiss and touch each other. The perception that women are weak sexual creatures , and that men are getting inside information by watching two girls, is Reason Number 2 for this infatuation.
A sinful treat
Two women making love is sexy, naughty and sinful . I've learned that men love anything that is sexy and naughty. Two women having sex is biologically unnatural and forbidden in most religions. We are taught to stay away from that lifestyle at a young age. What happens when you tell someone not to do something? They usually do it. Tell men that watching two women having sex is immoral, sinful, and they become giddy because "two lesbians are touching each other". So Reason Number 3 is that men like it because it's a taboo, naughty little act.

Maybe these aren't the reasons. Maybe there are many more. Whatever the explanation, as sure as the sun will shine, men will always entertain the idea of two women having sex.

Dating: Show Her You’re Not Interested

In our society, it has become increasingly difficult to blow off a girl without people thinking you’re gay or weird -- even if she’s ugly. Fortunately, there are two ways to blow off a girl who is into you without anybody getting the wrong idea. The only problem is that one method is great and the other is terrible.
One night, I was at a bar with a buddy of mine and one of his friends from work when two girls started closing in on my boys. So I sat back and observed two very different styles of blowing off women.
My buddy subtly conveyed to one of the girls that he wasn’t interested in her, and before long, she got the hint and left with her dignity intact. On the other hand, his coworker went out of his way to be a jerk for no reason, and the girl left humiliated.
In case you didn’t have this figured out by your first semester in community college, nobody wants to hang with the guy who makes other people feel bad on purpose. The funny, slightly cocky guy? Sure, everybody likes that guy (especially the women). The guy who’s a jerk for no reason? Nope, everybody hates that guy. To make sure you fall into the first category -- and preserve your reputation for future pickups in the process -- here are some of the dos and don’ts of blowing her off.
Don’ts
Call her the wrong name
Everybody knows you know her name because she just told you five minutes ago -- or maybe you've even known each other for months. You didn’t just suddenly forget her name, and everybody knows it -- including her. It’s a stupid move that only speaks to your immaturity.
Ignore her
If there is one thing every girl wants more than a new pair of shoes, it’s respect. Aretha Franklin made an entire career out of searching for some R-E-S-P-E-C-T. When you suddenly quit paying her any attention and ignore her altogether, you are being extremely disrespectful.

So what should you do to let her down easy and make sure she doesn’t badmouth you to all the other hot women in town?

“Mistakenly” send her nasty messages about her
Don’t send her e-mails, text messages or voicemail messages that you “meant to send to your buddy Tommy” saying that she’s not your type or she has bad breath or other such nasty things. Not only will you hurt her feelings, but if she figures out you lied to her to get rid of her, she’ll be doubly upset. And keep in mind that this might backfire on you if she decides to seek revenge.

So how do you let her know you’re not digging her without being a jerk or embarrassing her? A combination of these dos should do the trick.

Dos
Ask her about her hot friend
Women love to give advice and they are jealous of each other. Use both of these well-known facts to your advantage and ask her what you should do to hook up with her hot friend. While she may initially want to latch onto you more, she will ultimately get the hint that you’re just not feeling her, and she’ll probably even find a way to blame it on her friend -- double bonus points for you.
Tell her you have a friend that is perfect for her
After you’ve decided she’s not the one for you, use the information you’ve gathered on her to push her onto another guy. Point out how your buddy also cried when he saw the movie What Dreams May Come (1998), or any other common points they may have. Your buddy may be annoyed, but at least you’ll be rid of her.
Let her know how busy you are lately
Anytime she tries to contact you or you run into her, cut the conversation short. Bring up work, school or any other excuse to justify the fact that you have to run. Just be sure to point out that you love whatever it is that is taking up all your time and that you wouldn’t change a thing about your life.
Subtly highlight clashes of opinion
Politics, morals, values -- there are all kinds of hot-button issues you can subtly drop that will turn her off. If you know she’s a conservative, spout off something negative about the Bush administration and Fox News. If she has a kid, tell her you would never get involved with somebody who has children.
The not-so-direct approach
It sounds so simple, but spitting out the words “I’m just not that into you” can be extremely difficult. Get around this by letting her know that you’re just looking for a good time. Say something along the lines of how much you would love to hook up, but you respect her too much to make her just a ”friend with benefits.”

Women: Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson is every guy's fantasy. She is beautiful, voluptuous, and drop-dead sexy. Pamela is the kind of woman any man would have sex with every night (in his mind at least). We can't help but admire every picture of her that we see, and most of the time, our mouths usually end up on the floor. Plain and simple: She is a goddess.

"Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness. I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time." -Pamela Anderson

Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, on July 1st, 1967. Literally born into the spotlight, she was the first baby to be born on Canada's one-hundredth birthday, earning her the title of "The Centennial Baby." Her landmark birth was chronicled in the local newspaper and her parents, Barry and Carol, were awarded with cash prizes for the birth of little Pamela.Another incident placed Pamela in the spotlight once again. She was sitting in a library at a storytelling session, when a photographer picked her out of a crowd of 100 other children, and took a photograph of her. The picture drew so much attention, that it was posted in all the libraries in British Columbia and became copyrighted.
Surprisingly enough, Pamela's teenage years were as normal as any other teenager's. She was a regular girl with braces, who loved volleyball and playing the saxophone. Interestingly enough, her nickname in high school was "Rubber Band" because of her flexibility and excellence in sports. Her yearbook statement the year she graduated from Highland Secondary School in 1985 read that her aspiration in life was "To Be a California Beach Bum."
The third incident that Pamela experienced was the one that ended up being her big break. While attending a professional football game in Vancouver in 1989, she appeared on the jumbo screen at the game wearing a Labatt beer T-shirt and the crowd went wild. She had such an effect on the audience that Labatt hired her to do commercials. She became the company's "Blue Zone" girl and her image appeared on the walls of bars and restaurants all over Canada, on Labatt posters.
Thanks to the popularity of the campaign, Pamela was approached to do a cover for Play..boy. Her appearance on Hef's magazine was the launching pad of her career, and roles in television soon followed.
She had a small role on the comedy Married... With Children and played Lisa, the "Tool Time Girl," on Home Improvement. Her role on Home Improvement led to her red bathing suit-clad role as lifeguard C.J. Parker on Baywatch. David Hasselhoff knew that she'd be perfect for the part, the same way he knew Angie Harmon was the perfect match for her Baywatch Nights role. Both Pamela and her character shared a belief in "New Age" thinking, something Pamela inherited from her Scandinavian grandfather.
During her lifeguard days, Pamela appeared in the following small-time movies: The Taking of Beverly Hills, Snapdragon, Raw Justice, and The Evolution of Mr. E. She also had a role in the television detective series, Mike Hammer.
In 1996, Pamela starred in her first feature film, Barb Wire, despite her manager's advice to refuse the film role. She should have taken his advice, since the film bombed at the box office.
Pamela and tommy lee on video
The event in Lee's life that has caused the most hoopla in the public eye was her spontaneous surprise wedding to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee after dating for four days. Although Pamela avoided him at first, Tommy followed her down to Cancun, where he eventually won her heart and they got married on the beach. With the bride in a thong bikini and the groom in swimming trunks, the couple proved their love by getting tattoos of each other's names on their body parts rather than exchanging wedding rings at the "altar."
Pamela and Tommy's marriage has been in the tabloids since the day they got married, with constant reports of fights and problems. Pamela (now) Lee's most widely recognized camera appearance is probably the tape of her and Tommy Lee engaging in sexual acts. The homemade video was allegedly stolen from their house in 1995 and can still be viewed on the Internet. In 1997, one year after the birth of their first child Brandon, Pamela filed for divorce. It didn't take long for the Lees to get back together and Dylan, their second son, was born later that year.
In 1998, the blonde bombshell starred in and produced the successful syndicated show V.I.P. and when not on the screen, continued to work as an advocate of animal rights.
Pamela and super male model Marcus Schenkenberg became an item after her final split from Tommy Lee. Making her divorce from Tommy even more official, she dropped "Lee" from her name in June 2000. In April 2001, she started seeing the king of trailer trash rock, the cocky Kid Rock.
In early 2002, Pamela announced her involvement in the animated series Stripperella, a stripper/superhero character created by Stan Lee of Marvel Comics fame. This was followed by news that she would accompany her new boyfriend on tour as an on-stage stripper. All this was put on hold when it was made public that Pam had been diagnosed with hepatitis C. She claims that she contracted the potentially fatal disease by having shared a tattoo needle with Tommy Lee.
To add insult to injury, her syndicated TV program, V.I.P. was canceled after four seasons, in June of 2002. Just two months prior, she and Kid Rock announced their engagement, but the wedding, like her professional career, has been temporarily put on hold as Pam is undergoing treatment for her illness.
On a brighter note, she has launched a monthly column in the pages of Jane magazine. The debut of "Pam, Honestly" appeared in the August 2002 issue. As for the yearlong custody battle for her sons, it seems that a judge finally ordered joint custody of the children.
Pamela Anderson has since appeared in 2003's Scary Movie, and it seems that her on and off romance with Kid Rock is currently "off."

Sex: Positions To Help You Last Longer In Bed

Are you tired of losing control every time you make love to your woman? Do you want to discover a sexual position that'll keep you erect and feeling the good friction, without the "oh, no, I'm already at the edge" feeling?
Well, today is going to be a very happy day for men out there get excited too quickly around the vaginal playground. You no longer have to stare at the bush, nor do you have to keep beating around it; now you can delve into your sexual desires without fearing that the finale is just a pump or two away.

Before you get started
Keep in mind that it takes more than just a sexual position to help you last longer. First off, you need to keep a positive frame of mind. Don't turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy by continuously telling yourself that you can't do it. You can, especially if you believe you can.
If you have some sort of medical drawback like erectile dysfunction, then these suggestions obviously won't work for you. Be realistic and get yourself to a professional as soon as you can to optimize your sex life.

It's all a game
Turning foreplay into a game of lustful sexual containment can be more fun than the actual sex itself. Make your foreplay last. After all, when's the last time you heard a woman saying "he kisses my lips and goes down on me for way too long"? That's what I thought.
Enjoy the time you have together and stop focusing on the actual sex because that'll likely cause you to get more nervous, and end up leaving her in the bathroom with a vibrating shower nozzle. Make it a total body experience, not just a penis one.

Play with it master
Don't be shy guys, you did it when you first discovered that something other than urine comes out of your penis, and you can do it now. Masturbation is not a four-letter word (there I go, stating the obvious) and if you want to understand your own waterworks, then you're going to have to play the "getting to know you" game with yourself.
By stroking yourself and figuring out at which point you feel like ejaculating, you can learn how to maintain your erection and avoid premature incidents. Also, you can bring yourself to the point where you feel like you're about to lose it and stop yourself until the feeling goes away. Keep it up until an adequate amount of time has passed and then let the rivers flow freely.
Before we dive head first into the positions (and you know which head I'm talking about), keep in mind that what might work for some, may not work for others. The whole point of it is trial and error, along with positive thinking.

This is your mission
Perhaps it is not the most explosive of sexual positions and hey, it may not even merit the "Best Position in a Bedroom" Oscar. This position, nonetheless, is most helpful for men who want to prolong coitus.
Speaking of coitus, you can try practicing coitus interruptus, which entails deliberately withdrawing your slimy guy from her vagina prior to ejaculation and holding it. Soon afterwards, you may insert your little guy back in and continue on your merry way.
Remember that the instant she lifts her legs in the air, or you lift your own body, you may end up feeling more intense sensations. I therefore recommend you begin with body-to-body missionary, and slowly work your way up with variety.

Sit in front of me
Another great position that'll help most men last longer in the sack is the "sitting inside each other" position. You sit with your legs crossed and she sits atop you doing the same and controlling the tempo.
The great thing about this position is that you get to rub her smooth back or pull her by the shoulders and sucking on her breasts with ease. As well, she can bite into your neck or rub your back while you both enjoy a constant sexual pace.
When you become accustomed to this situation and learn adequate penis control, then you can get her to squat up and down on your member while she uses her hands to balance herself on your knees.

Woman on top
Although some guys lose control considering they don't have any power when the woman on top does all the maneuvering, many men find a woman's back and forth thrusting (rather than up and down) very comfortable.
Allowing her to take control of the situation can help you concentrate on keeping your ejaculate at bay. As well, you get to watch your sweetheart bounce around while she does her thing.
Once the thrusting thing becomes like child's play for you, then you can try letting her squat. But be warned, this position is likely to make you lose your mind (and your semen) a lot faster. That's because her vagina tends to hug your penis rather tightly, and your genitals and hers are the only two body parts that are touching.

Side by side love
This position should usually be reserved for morning sex. With her back facing you, lift up one of her legs and insert yourself inside her warm fleshy area.
Although the initial feeling may be that of tightness, if you brace yourself, the feeling will become more comforting. Many guys are able to control themselves and last longer in this position.
Move slowly and don't rush things. Getting overly excited won't do you any good so just keep things calm and at an unhurried, steady tempo. She'll be impressed with your ability to control yourself.
Obviously, these positions won't work wonders for everyone, but they will definitely feel great for many. Remember, if you have a problem, see your doctor promptly and don't play the game of denial.

And there you have it; some easy ways to keep her satisfied and get a little satisfaction of your own at the same time.

Style: The Suit

I explained a number of potential faux pas to which many guys fall prey when dressing formally. In doing so, I intentionally left one style of clothing out: the suit. Men make so many mistakes when wearing a suit or tux that the topic warrants its own article.
Since the suit/tux serves as the pinnacle of formality, you should be very careful not to break these sacred rules when donning one.
Wearing the suit
Subtlety is key
Do not wear an odd-colored suit; alternately, go for something more neutral and conservative. These colors include gray, black, navy blue, and brown. Of course, you can add a different dimension of color to your suit with pinstripes. A great thin pinstripe pattern (sometimes in a bolder color) is what makes a dull, neutral-colored suit classy and interesting.
Choosing the right shirt and tie is your opportunity to play with color. Since your suit is a neutral color, it means that it’ll match with pretty much any shirt color as long as the hues are of the same tone. For example, don’t wear a bright green shirt with your dark, charcoal grey suit; instead opt for soft pink or powder blue.
A suit is a suit
Do not construct a suit from a sports coat and a pair of pants of the same color. A suit is a set of clothing purchased together. If you just stick any old pair of black pants with any old black sports coat, trust me on this: The colors, although technically the same, will never match properly. Even if you believe the outfit you’ve created looks okay, anyone savvy about fashion will likely be able to tell you’re not wearing a suit simply because the pieces just don’t go together. An easy solution to this problem exists: If you need a suit, buy a suit.
Make sure it fits
Do not wear a suit that doesn’t fit you properly. Many readers may find this point obvious. I do too, and yet I often see men wearing suits that don’t fit. If you aren’t tall enough to wear a regular, don't buy a regular -- buy the short. If you gained too much weight for your suit to fit properly, you have to buy a new one.
Men too often believe that suits will fit off the rack. While some men may get lucky and find one that fits them perfectly, not all will have the same luck since men who wear the same size won’t necessarily have the same body type. Do not be scared of taking a suit to a tailor to get a better fit. Most tailors charge less money for alterations than you think, and the utility you’ll receive by wearing a suit that actually fits far outweighs that small cost.
Get the right outerwear
Do not wear the same coat with a suit that you would wear with a T-shirt and jeans. Few things look more ridiculous than a man wearing a suit with a windbreaker. If you will be wearing a suit in cold or inclement weather, you should purchase an overcoat or trench that can be comfortably worn over it. The three-quarter length overcoat has become quite popular these days and looks great with a suit. Try to select an overcoat in a neutral color so that it’ll go with most of the suits in your wardrobe.
Ties & other accessories
Keep the ties regular
Do not try to be clever by wearing a bow tie or shoestring “cowboy” tie. Bow ties are obviously fine for tuxedos, but with a suit, they are questionable at best. Unless you want to look like Tucker Carlson or Pee-wee Herman, leave the bows to your shoelaces. I cannot think of any legitimate formal occasion where a shoestring tie is ever acceptable, except maybe a country music awards show. As a rule of thumb, stick to regular neckties.
Length is important
Do not wear a tie too short or too long. One cannot help but love the one-size-fits-all nature of a tie, so there is absolutely no excuse for it to be tied at an improper length. The tip of the bottom of your tie should just graze the top of your belt buckle. If it is any longer or shorter, you’ll look silly.
Ditch the clip
Do not use a clip-on tie. If you are over the age of 13, you have outgrown them. Tying a tie is not rocket science. And if you absolutely can’t tie it, ask someone for help.
Stick to the point
Do not wear a spread collar with a tie; instead, opt for a point collar. The spread collar leaves a great deal of space between the two ends of the collar, and any normal tie won’t be able to fill that space. Point collar shirts have less space, which can be properly filled by an average tie in a Windsor knot. On that note, stay away from any strange thin-style knots that will cause similar space issues, even with a point collar.
Novelty has no place in formality
Do not wear any silly novelty accessories to a formal occasion. This includes your “Beers of the World” tie (which should be permanently retired in the back of your closet). Similarly, cufflinks should stay formal. Save the dice cufflinks for Vegas.
Suit up
These tips are a good start to looking your best at formal occasions. At the very least, you can now avoid some pretty common mistakes made by many men. These rules, paired with your own common sense and snazzy esthetic instincts, should do the trick.

Life: 7 Ways To Get Instant Respect

Respect. Everyone wants it, few get it.
Why? I'll tell you why. Respect is earned, never given. And nowadays, with our rush to do everything yesterday, few have the will, patience, or perseverance needed to be truly respected. Like drinking a good espresso , building up respect requires time and an appreciation of the fine details needed to achieve a perfect result.
Respect is also directly related to your reputation. Build up a rep as a "stand-up guy," and respect will follow as a result.
That said, there are ways to speed up the process -- at least in the short-term -- with a few shortcuts. For example, get into any position where you can wield power ( real power, not head of the janitor club power) and a certain level of respect is awarded to you, not because you deserve it but because it's part of the package of your new position.

I had a police commissioner so deep in my pocket at one time that I could spit in his face and have him apologize to me for blocking the path of my saliva, but because of his "post," I refrained from committing such a rude act. I respect the institution of the American Presidency, so I respect the President because of his "position," not because he has done anything to deserve my respect. Capisce?
So, let's be realistic; the majority of you can't afford a Cadillac, much less buy yourselves a powerful position, so what can you do to garner some respect immediatamente ?

This is where you take out a piece of paper and write down what I am about to reveal because I won't live forever. Here are seven things that won't guarantee you respect, but will lead you in the right direction. What you have to remember is that these things aren't done once and forgotten -- they have to be part of a new lifestyle and image you project.

1- Dress the part
Regardless of what you've done in the past, how much money you have in your bank account, how famous you are, or how fat you've become, a man in a well-tailored suit will always get treated better than some salame off the street.
I'm not talking about just any suit, I mean a well-fitted one, tailored by a man who left his village in the south of Italy to come to America with nothing but his needling skills and his shoes. This is not a time to be cheap. Get a suit that costs $200 US, and you'll look like $200. Get a suit that costs you $1,000, and you'll look like a million. And don't skimp on the shoes either; buy yourself one good pair at $400 a pop rather than four cheap pairs for $85. Anything made in Italy is automatically better than anything else -- end of story.

2- Keep silent
I know all of yous think you're geniuses, but the truth is you aren't. You wouldn't need my advice otherwise. The world would be a toy in the palm of your hand. So, because you still have a lot to learn, you are better off just shutting your mouth and listening.
Be discreet, be mysterious, and only say what's necessary. In fact, don't say anything at all unless you have to. Mistakes are usually made by people who open their traps without good reason. The less someone knows about you, the more likely he'll choose to stay at a respectful distance.
When I meet someone for the first time, I politely salute them and take about two minutes before I say anything after that. In the meantime, the clown I just met has just told me where he lives, who he is cheating on his wife with, his credit card numbers, and how many Viagra pills he has to use to get it up. If you were a little bird listening in on our conversation, who would you respect more after the two minutes have passed?

3- Don't lie
If you do have to open your mouth, stick to what you know. If I had a nickel for every time some cafone I met started talking about crap he didn't know about in order to impress me or get my respect, I'd have two dozen Ferraris in my driveway.
There is no faster way to lose someone's respect than by lying, especially about stupidities. If you don't know something just say, "I can't really comment." It takes a real man to admit his shortcomings. If the other party is courteous, they'll ask you what you do, and then you'll have an opportunity to talk about something that can make you look like Einstein.

4- Never smile (keep that for the mistress)
Every time I see a wiseguy showing all his teeth, a picture of a crocodile always comes to my mind. When you're a man of respect, you're also a man of caution. Smiling is like letting your guard down and may make others think you're a snake or a used car salesman (like my brother-in-law, the son-of-a-bitch always has an alligator smile -- he reeks of cunning).
Withhold a smile, and everyone knows that you are a serious man who's not easily impressed. Nine times out of 10, the other person will try even harder to get your approval. Who respects who in this situation?
But by all means, show your pearly whites when the doors are closed and your mistress brings her bisexual Spaniard friend Lola for a little bedroom action. At that point, the only respect you are thinking about is if she sw...

5- Confidence & humility
I might be stating the obvious, but a man with confidence attracts people like a hooker at a prison camp. Confidence, even if it just includes having a good swagger, good posture, or good mannerisms, projects the image of someone in control, who knows what he's doing and can get the job done. A man with confidence says, "you can trust my abilities" and "respect my words."
Look someone in the eye. A confident man never spots any dirt on his shoes because he's never looking down.
Remember the fine line between confidence and arrogance. Confidence has to be balanced with a good dose of humility. Only a jackass likes to brag. Someone introduces you and says, "Mr. M is really smart, his organization made $10 million last year."
You answer, "Even with the greatest leadership skills in the world, without a good crew made of smart soldiers, I couldn't have done anything. A man alone cannot accomplish anything." What have you done? You've acknowledged your abilities while praising others. What a stand-up guy you are.

6 - Be polite - reciprocate respect & courtesy
When you meet someone, you shouldn't smile like a donkey, but you shouldn't be impolite either. Being guarded doesn't mean you can't be courteous. Good manners imply refinement, and refinement implies class; a man with class is a man that has traits worth respecting.
No one ever went to war because his enemy was too courteous or polite. Politeness doesn't mean being a wimp either. It means not being a jerk.

7- Have a good memory
One of the first things I tell the young turks in my crew is to develop a good memory because it won't just save their jackasses one day, it can score them a lot of points with business associates. You look like a fool when you don't remember the name of someone you were introduced to just 30 seconds before.
Remembering someone's name and something they told you proves that you are a man who pays attention to detail, and is attentive, intelligent and savvy. You don't have to repeat some drunken tirade he told you at your sister's wedding; remembering a name is sufficient, and it makes the person feel good (you get bonus points if you remember something about his kids). And what will he think? "What a stand-up guy, I like him. He even remembered my name."

Career: Top 10 Most Dangerous Jobs

What are some of the most hazardous professions in the world? Surely, as the face of society evolves, so does this list. Yes, lawyers and window washers face hazards in their line of work, but the following list ranks some of the most dangerous ways to earn a buck. For the record, if I omitted your line of work and you think that your profession deserves to make the cut, my heartfelt apologies.

10. Bodyguard
When you are paid to serve as a human shield for a president, rock star or businessman, you know you have to say "I love you" to everyone every time you walk out the door. Kevin Costner was the most recent man to glamorize the profession, but there is no "bull" (bad pun) about it, "bodyguard" makes the list.

9. Coast Guard Search & Rescue
Few men and women put their lives on the line day in and day out like the Coast Guard. Even less do so for such unselfish purposes, as these workers help others who are in desperate need of assistance, making it all the more noble and virtuous.

8. Bomb Squad
Can you say kamikaze? How many professions do you know that come close to this one in terms of facing risk and danger head-on? I always wondered what the failure rate is for bomb squad school.

7. Armored Car Guard
I was walking down the street once, enjoying a nice summer evening when I heard, "Stop, stand back!" I looked straight ahead and realized that I was staring down the barrel of gun. Puzzled (more like tipsy...), I asked "what did I do?" Lo and behold, the bank guards were loading cash into the ATM, and they had full discretion to blow my head clean off...

6. Policeman
What do you mean serve and protect?
The men in blue: policemen. Often chastised, vilified, criticized... sometimes justifiably, sometimes unfairly. Regardless, most times, a policeman is a sign of peace, calm and reassurance. These men and women have some of the most stress-packed jobs in the world.

5. Firefighter
Fight fire with water
Whether you're fighting a fire in the forest, killing the flames in a residential area or running into a burning house to save children and animals, there is a reason why women fancy firefighters; they're peaceful and help everyone despite all odds.

4. Miner
American society has shifted from industrial to more service-oriented, so "miner" is less mentioned in such lists. But this does not change anything, as this is one profession that leaves health concerns down the road and takes lives when accidents happen.

3. Truck Driver
Truck drivers are special individuals who live on the road and travel non-stop in their mission to deliver goods worldwide. They have always faced tough road conditions, reckless drivers and sleepless nights, which can all lead to tragic circumstances.

2. Logger
Logging is dangerous year-round, but seasonal danger peaks in late summer and fall as most deaths occur in July, September and October. Many would rank this profession higher, as logging has been a perennial choice in top danger lists.

1. Alaskan Crab Fisherman
We got crabs!
Ever wonder why crab is so expensive? Yes, the fact that the meat is rare is one factor, but another important and lesser-known fact is that the men and women who risk their lives fishing the crab in ice-cold waters face the highest on-the-job mortality rate. It's true, it's true.

Dating: A Real Woman Wants A Real Man

Men are PC'ed to death. The consequences of almost 50 years of ardent feminism have been devastating: a society in bewilderment about gender roles, the rise of a class of ball-busting bitches whose battle cry is, "We don't need men," trumped-up charges of "date rape" and "sexual harassment," angry women blaming men for all their problems -- in short, an overall erosion of male confidence.
As society becomes more and more feminized, as more and more young men are being raised by single mothers who don't have a clue about the male sex drive, but who teach their sons to surrender their natural masculinity and pander to women, today's man is forced to apologize for -- and feel shame about -- his inherent male sexuality.

Pleasing women
This abrogation of sexual confidence has resulted in a world full of wusses and doormats, men who cater to women and willingly hand over all their male power in exchange for a few crumbs of approval or sexual "favors."
The modern man walks around on eggshells, afraid of saying the "wrong thing," scared of showing his natural sexual interest to a woman, scared of being scorned, humiliated, or even fired -- scared of his own true self.
All of this flies in the face of nature. For years now, men have been forced to bend over backwards to please women, but pandering to a self-serving social movement can't really reverse five billion years of human evolution.
Clearly this essential point is lost on the female gender because women just don't have a clue what it is to be truly sexual -- a woman's sex drive can't even begin to compare with a man's. Yet modern feminism still blindly strives to feminize men into submissive she-males.
Nature intended men to be strong, assertive, bold, sexual -- this is why testosterone surges through their bloodstreams. This is a man's right -- his heritage -- as a member of the male gender.
And the truth is, despite what women say and how much they protest, they want a man who acts like a man. Scratch the surface and you'll find that deep down they don't really want a man to act like a woman any more than a guy wants a chick to be masculine.
So instead of letting women snip pruning shears at their crotches, it's time for men to stop apologizing for being male, to celebrate their inherently sexual natures, and to reclaim their sexual confidence.

Sexual what?
Just what is sexual confidence? First, it's important to understand what it's not.

Men who are not sexually confident:
# Seek approval from women
# Cater or pander to women
# Are predictable and boring
# Call women every day or worse, many times a day (clingy, needy)
# Try to buy their time and attention with meals, gifts, etc.
# Are nervous, insecure or overly nice around women
# Act like women's friends instead of their lovers
# Are available at the drop of a hat
# Tolerate without protest rude behavior, cancelled dates, etc.
# Go out of their way to please women in the hope of getting laid
# Let women control the relationship
# Are afraid that if they do "something wrong," she'll leave
# Grovel, beg, or are desperate for sex
# Obsess about and over-analyze everything women say and do
# Feel shameful or guilty about their natural sexuality
# Let women manipulate them or treat them like "walking wallets"
# Are lousy lovers

Get sexual
The direct opposite of all these is sexual confidence. To get an insight into what sexual confidence is, just watch any "bad boy" in action -- one of those obnoxious, selfish, abusive jerks that women swear they hate, yet flock to like ants discovering a candy factory.
Why are women attracted to these guys? Because females think with their emotions, not with logic -- and Bad Boys are sexually exciting .
And just what determines sexual confidence? Sexually confident men:
# Are challenges, not feet-kissing doormats
# Don't make excuses for who they are -- they exude sexuality and they're comfortable with their natural masculinity
# Assume that they're "the catch," not the woman
# Are unpredictable, untamed and can't be tied down
# Aren't afraid of being who they are
# Have no interest in being PC, morphing their true selves to gain female approval, or being overly nice
# Don't have to trade money or gifts for sex (a.k.a. "dating")
# Always control the relationship
# Never tolerate any female BS
# Radiate sexually-charged body language
# Flirt easily and well
# Are natural leaders, not followers
# Unabashedly look at women's bodies
# Don't care if they score with a particular woman, because they know that there are many others waiting in line. They want sex, but they don't need it -- they aren't desperate and groveling for it
# Are constantly unavailable
# Never apologize for who they are
# Act like men around women, not wusses.
In other words, sexually confident men aren't afraid to be themselves or to exert their natural sexuality -- and don't really care what society thinks of them. Unlike bad boys, sexually confident men are not abusive toward women -- in fact, they love the company of women and treat them very well. And women can't keep their hands off them.

Be a man
The good news is, a man doesn't have to be built like Arnold Schwarzenegger or look like Brad Pitt to be sexually confident and attract women. But he does have to tap into his natural masculinity and let it shine out for the female population to see.
When a man becomes confident and secure about his sexuality, he immediately asserts his independence and individuality. He becomes more selective. His self-image has been enhanced and he is comfortable being who he is instead of constantly changing his behavior to fit into society's current format.
Women can look into his eyes and read his body language and instantly know that he's a good lover. Instead of desperately seeking the approval of women and chasing after them like a puppy dog, he is now the "desired one," and women pursue him because he has transformed himself from a doormat into a challenge.
As the old saying goes, "Do what you've always done and you'll keep getting what you've always gotten." If you want to be sexually confident, all you have to do is be the man nature intended you to be.

Business: 9 Bad Habits

As a conscientious and determined businessman, you do everything in your power to make smart decisions and take fruitful actions. You do your best to avoid mistakes, but may still be making bad moves every day. They're not the kind of errors that will stand out to you, because you're used to making them. They're bad business habits; knee-jerk, routine actions made without forethought but carrying plenty of consequences.
Because they come to you so naturally, you may find nothing wrong with them. But you can be sure that if you're guilty of any of these nine habits, your superiors and colleagues are wrinkling their noses.

1- You're addicted to your Blackberry
Being organized is all very well, but if you spend most of your day updating and checking your Blackberry, all that organization is pulling you away from actual tasks. Imagine the business you could be bringing the company in the time you spend on your obsessive key-ins. This habit is even worse when practiced in a social environment -- it shows an unhealthy fixation with work.
How to break it:
Work on your Blackberry at home or during your lunch hour.

2- You send out useless group e-mail
It's one thing to send out helpful articles and information to your coworkers. Clicking "Send" every few minutes and filling your colleagues' inboxes with useless comments and humorous forwards, however, wastes time and guarantees that your few important messages will be disregarded. Likewise, writing e-mail replete with acronyms, jargon or bad grammar will get you frowns. You don't speak that way, do you?
How to break it:
Send out relevant information only and ensure that the content of your messages is always clear. You can ensure this by verifying that each one answers the "5 Ws" (who, what, when ,where, why). Comments that don't require everyone's attention can be saved for personal interactions.

3- You rely on business clichs
You tell your coworkers to "think outside the box" in order to "take the low-hanging fruit" and attain "cutting-edge," "scalable" results -- because it's "mission critical!" Like any clich, these business phrases have been used so much they don't really mean anything anymore -- they're just prepackaged terms for the lazy communicator. The most you'll get out of spewing them are rolling eyes.
How to break it:
Say exactly what you mean and come up with fresh ways of saying it. Avoid overused lingo and dead metaphors at all costs.

4- You call meetings about everything
Excessive meetings provide ideal opportunities for workers to doodle on company stationery and exchange virtual giggles on their Bluetooth PDAs. If you call a meeting every time you want to discuss a menial thing, like your personal offense at something that was said or what flavor of Kool-Aid should be served at the company party, you diminish the importance of and set the tone for all meetings, paving the way for disaster at the ones where you close deals and discuss strategies.
How to break it:
If you feel something needs attention but it doesn't involve everyone, discuss it only with the relevant parties. Follow an agenda and avoid dragging out meetings and dragging down your coworkers.

5- You parade whatever you're doing
Even if you're closing a $10 million deal or you saved the company $20,000 by using recycled products, you don't have to advertise it. Being a braggart will not help you win people over. Think about it: Do you admire someone who roars on the phone while walking around the office so that everyone can hear what he's doing? Neither does anyone else.
How to break it:
Let your results speak for themselves. People will notice what you've done without the aid of self-promotion, and they'll admire you all the more for it.



6- You interrupt others
Do you think that what you have to say is so important that you can step over others? You may think you're being a go-getter by trumpeting a better solution before the other person has finished his thought, but by doing so you're coming off as nothing more than rude and obnoxious.
How to break it:
Listen when others speak and offer up your two cents when others are done talking.

7- You constantly provide criticism
It's one thing to offer tips on improving performance at work. But if you're hovering over workers and nitpicking about the way someone uses the copier or staples a report together, then you're frustrating people more than helping them. Though your intentions are good, your execution isn't. In fact, you come off as a micromanaging freak, especially if you don't fully understand what the person is doing or why. Besides, there's more than one way to do things, right?
How to break it:
If you have criticism regarding anyone's work, make sure to offer up a solution with it. Understand what you're talking about before opening your mouth. Most importantly, resist the urge to offer your advice on non-essential things.

8- You do everything by the book
You internalized everything the schoolbooks taught you, but if you still haven't realized that in the real world not everything works the way it does in the printed one, it's time to shut the tomes for a while. Theory gives us a foundation for our knowledge, but protocol can and should be broken at times. The unpredictable commands creative solutions that your professor never taught you. If a coworker is on edge and about to burn out, do you regurgitate some prepackaged claptrap or respond as a human being?
How to break it:
It's all about being aware of the current situation and working with it. Learn to trust your gut and apply solutions that seem ideal, not the ones outlined in books.

9- You over-expense everything
It's one thing to expense a trip to New York for a business meeting, it's a whole other ballgame when you feel you must stay in the president's suite and eat at four-star restaurants. Who do you think you are, an Enron accountant? Spending the company's money casually may and will be regarded as blatant disregard for the company.
How to break it:
Apply the same smart frugality that you use in your business to your expenses. Save the company money and you will be recognized for it.

Rewire your business sense
Bad business habits, like all habits, are hard to break. It's an automated action triggered by a given stimulus. Once you recognize your habit is hurtful, you're halfway there. Now try to catch yourself in the act and stop it in its tracks. Then tell yourself what you should do instead. With persistence you'll have that tic dispelled in no time.

Fitness: How Theories Have Evolved

Every day, new information is published regarding ways to improve your power, speed, agility, and body composition. Inherently, new training theories come with this new research; some are effective and others aren’t. In many cases, it isn’t the whole method that changes, but rather the theories behind the method. Here are a few theories that have undergone some modifications in the past few years.

Duration of cardio sessions
Old: You must do at least 20 minutes of cardio to get into the fat-burning zone.
New: High intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions take 20 minutes or less and ramp up your metabolism more than any other form of cardio.
The reasoning behind this change is that the more you “damage” your tissues during training, the more energy you will need to expend to repair them -- much more than if you worked at a moderate pace. This means that with HIIT cardio, you can significantly raise your metabolism for hours afterward, which more than makes up for what you would have burned if you‘d worked out moderately past the “20-minute” fat-burning zone.

Amount of weight and repetitions in weight training
Old: Performing a high number of repetitions with light weights is the best way to tone your body.
New: You will get better results by performing fewer repetitions with heavier weights.
There is no such thing as ”toning.” To get definition, you must lose body fat, which is related to diet and cardio more than anything else. By lifting heavy weights, you will keep your metabolism higher, as the heavy weights will stimulate the release of higher levels of testosterone and keep the muscle stimulus load high. By lifting maximally, you will also reduce your chances of losing muscle mass, which is fairly common among people who eat a hypocaloric diet (necessary for weight loss).

Eating habits to add muscle mass
Old: The best way to put on muscle is to eat as much as you can, any time you can.
New: You should only eat a few hundred calories more than the amount you require to maintain your current weight.
While the old practice helps to add muscle mass, it also adds a significant amount of body fat. No one likes the process of removing body fat, so it is preferable to just keep your weight gain under control from the beginning. Granted, you may not put on muscle mass as quickly as you would with a “gorge-fest” diet, but the weight you do put on will be lean muscle. The best process now is thought to consist in only eating a few hundred calories more than your weight-maintenance caloric requirements.

Cardio and muscle gain
Old: You should never do cardio if you are trying to add muscle mass.
New: HIIT sessions can help you add muscle faster.
What is the best way to get a six-pack? How can you get rid of love handles? Find out if your methods are old school or cutting edge…
While cardio can hinder your muscular gains if you are doing hours of it at a time, a few sessions of HIIT cardio a week will boost your metabolism, which will help you add muscle faster -- as long as you are still eating more calories than you are burning. Cardio is also great for keeping your heart healthy and getting your blood circulating. The latter allows nutrients to be distributed to your muscle tissues more efficiently, ensuring that they get the fuel they need to repair and grow stronger.

Six-pack development
Old: Weighted ab crunches are the best way to get a six-pack.
New: Stabilizing training is your best bet.
While some people use weighted ab crunches to help define their six-packs, they may only make your abs thicker, thus increasing the size of your waist rather than helping you look leaner and more defined. The reason for this is that adding weight load causes hypertrophy -- a process of growth. When it comes to your abs, it’s not really growth you are looking for, but rather a leaner, more defined look. A better option is to use stability training, which calls into play every muscle fiber in your abs, thus helping you burn more calories and making you leaner.

Love-handle elimination
Old: Tons of sit-ups will help reduce love handles.
New: Diet and cardio are the most important factors.
The only thing millions of sit-ups will do is bore you to death. To reduce love handles, you need to eat well, do cardio and use a few effective ab-training exercises. If you do them properly, you only really need to perform 2 or 3 sets of 2 or 3 different ab exercises of your choice. Concentrate on using proper form and really feeling the target muscles working hard.

Types of weight-training exercises
Old: Isolated exercises are a great way to add muscle mass.
New: Compound exercises will give you better and faster results.
If growth is your main objective, isolated exercises aren’t the answer; they tend to target small muscle fibers and simply don’t stimulate your body enough to increase size. Growth hormone is released in direct proportion to how many muscle fibers you hit, so the more compound the movement, the more growth hormone you release. You are much better off using compound movements: You can perform fewer sets and spend less time in the gym, and still get better results.

Timing of meals and cardio for weight loss
Old: Cardio on an empty stomach is great for fat loss.
New: You should never perform HIIT cardio on an empty stomach.
While some people still obey this principle, it can lead to a significant amount of muscle loss. Newer theories recommend only performing high intensity cardio sessions, even while dieting, since these will shock your body more. With steady state sessions, on the other hand, your body will eventually get used to the amount of cardio you perform and will stop responding. This is virtually a no-win situation because it means that you will have to keep doing more and more cardio in order to see results.
You should never perform HIIT sessions on an empty stomach because you need glucose as fuel. You won’t be able to train effectively if you haven’t consumed carbohydrates beforehand.

Training trends
No one can ever offer a method of training that will always be the “best” way. Each and every day, more research is done, advancing our understanding of the best ways to reach different goals. Your best approach to fitness is to stay informed on the newest methods and to evaluate which ones work best for you.
Remember that what works for one person will not necessarily work for another, so give each method a try and take note of your results. If you are seeing positive changes, keep doing what you are doing; if not, try something else until you get the results you want.

Health: The Beer Drinker's Best Herbs

Benjamin Franklin said it best: "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." For sure, men love their alcohol: The average American guy drinks about 23 gallons of beer, 15 pints of wine and 10 pints of spirits every year. All in all, each year, about 200 million barrels (that's 6.2 billion gallons!) of beer are produced and we buy about $116 billion worth of alcoholic beverages.

Beer: the next health drink?
Sometimes, beer loves us back, too: Studies have suggested that, when consumed in moderation, beer has many health benefits.
For instance, moderate amounts of alcohol may be good for the heart. An Emory University study involving over 2,200 elderly men and women discovered that those who consumed at least 1.5 drinks daily had up to a 50% lesser risk of suffering from heart failure. Another study conducted by Germany, France and the United Kingdom found that moderate consumption of beer or wine may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can lower coronary heart disease risk. The French, who drink lots of red wine and have the highest per capita alcohol consumption, actually have one of the lowest rates of coronary heart disease mortality.
Beer can also be good for your brain: Using an MRI, a Boston scientist discovered that light drinkers (one to six drinks a week) to moderate drinkers (seven to 14 drinks a week) have fewer strokes than non-drinkers -- probably because of alcohol's effect in thinning the blood and preventing the formation of tiny blood clots in the brain. Note, however, that although heavy drinkers (more than 15 drinks a week) have the least amount of strokes, they also suffer the most atrophy or wasting of brain tissues.
Moderate amounts of alcohol can also help reduce stress, decrease anxiety and self-consciousness, and improve your mood. Beer in particular has plenty of nutrients, such as protein, B vitamins, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, iron, niacin, and riboflavin.

Beer can also be unhealthy
Before you go out and celebrate with a few pints, keep in mind that all of the studies above point out that beer is only healthy if you drink moderately. Some scientists even consider the health benefits of alcohol for moderate drinkers to be controversial due to the variations in the methodologies of the studies.
What all doctors and scientists agree on, however, is that the health risks of drinking larger amounts of alcohol will quickly outweigh its benefits; and to make matters worse, alcohol can impair your judgment, thus making it hard for you to stop at just a drink or two.
One of the most common harmful effects of alcohol is on the liver, the organ that removes toxins from the body. In the liver, enzymes first convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, a chemical intermediate that can cause nausea, headache, vomiting, and other bad effects of alcohol ingestion. During this step, a molecule called NADH is also produced.
Acetaldehyde is further metabolized into acetic acid, and then water and carbon dioxide that we breathe out. Unfortunately, in people who drink daily, the body might not be able to metabolize the toxic acetaldehyde fast enough.
To make matters worse, heavy drinking can elevate the levels of NADH, which can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver in a condition called fatty liver. A liver clogged with fat is not only less efficient in performing its duties, it can also lead to a reduction in the distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the liver's cells. Left untreated, this causes liver cells to die and form fibrous scar tissue leading to cirrhosis or scarring of the liver -- a potentially deadly condition.
Yet another effect of high levels of NADH is the formation of harmful free radicals, which can cause further damage to the cells in the liver and the rest of the body.
And that's not all -- beer has a lot of calories, which can lead to obesity (not to mention a beer belly) in those who drink a lot of it. Being obese, in turn, carries a lot of health risks, including heart disease and diabetes.

Tips for beer lovers
Short of not drinking any alcohol (which is the medical recommendation for men who have had liver damage due to alcohol), there are many things you can do to limit the bad effects of alcohol and beer.
Set your limit and pace
Decide how many drinks you will have ahead of time and stick to it. Don't be afraid to say "no thanks." Also, remember to drink slowly: A healthy liver can process a standard drink (a 12 oz can of beer) an hour -- if you drink any faster than that, you risk overloading your body's ability to process alcohol.
This is especially important in parties and social situations, where peer pressure to drink can override your better judgment.

Don't drink on an empty stomach
Eating a substantial meal before you go out and drink can actually help slow the absorption of alcohol. A full stomach may also help you cut down on the amount of alcohol you can drink.

Drink water or non-alcoholic beverages between alcoholic drinks
Alcohol dehydrates your body, so drinking a non-alcoholic "decoy" between alcoholic drinks not only helps you cut down on alcohol consumption, it also helps keep your body hydrated.

Sports: 10 Unbreakable Records

Whenever the inevitable debate arises among sports fans concerning the record that is the least likely to ever be broken, many people are quick to cite Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak.

But there are many other -- perhaps lesser-known -- achievements by athletes or teams that are likely to still be standing well into the future. Here are the Top 10 unbreakable sports records.
Number 10
Rocky Marciano's 49-0
Boxing
Marciano began his professional career in 1947 by beating Lee Epperson, and over the next eight years, he proceeded to defeat all 49 of his opponents -- 43 by knockout. In doing so, Marciano became the first heavyweight to go undefeated throughout his entire career.
Marciano's record was challenged in 1985 by Larry Holmes, who got to 48-0 before losing to Michael Spinks. However, with today's crop of heavyweights being underwhelming, his mark seems likely to stand the test of time.

Number 9
Michael Schumacher's 7 championships
F1 Driving
Schumacher made his Formula 1 debut in 1991, and just one year later, he managed a third-place finish in the overall drivers' standings. By 1994, Schumacher had truly arrived, winning the first of his seven F1 points titles. He performed the feat again in 1995, then moved over to the Ferrari team and won each year between 2000 and 2004. His 2003 season victory moved him ahead of Juan Fangio, who finished atop the standings five times.
Schumi also holds the F1 record for most race wins with 85 (Alain Prost is a distant second with 51) and most wins in a season with 13. All three records are unlikely to be overturned.

Number 8
Ty Cobb's .366 career batting average
Baseball
The Georgia Peach played 24 seasons from 1905 to 1928, and outside of his rookie year, he never hit below .316. Regardless of one's opinion of Cobb as a person, his incredible statistics are indisputable: he hit over .380 nine times, batted above .400 three times, and finished with a career batting average of .366, well ahead of Rogers Hornsby, whose .358 places him second.
The closest active player is Todd Helton of the Colorado Rockies, who entered the 2005 season hitting .339, meaning that Cobb's lofty average is in no danger of being surpassed yet.

Number 7
Nolan Ryan's 7 no-hitters
Baseball
Nolan Ryan broke into baseball in 1966 as the second-youngest player in the league. By the time he retired as Major League Baseball's oldest in 1993, he had thrown seven no-hitters, making him by far the all-time record holder (Sandy Koufax sits second, with four). Ryan's first no-no came on May 15, 1973, and he recorded his second exactly two months later.
He then proceeded to record one in each of the next two seasons, threw another in 1981 to set the record, and then added one no-hitter per season in 1990 and 1991 (made all the more incredible by his advanced age of 43 and 44 years old, respectively) to seal his position on top.

Number 6
Wayne Gretzky's 215-point season
Hockey
While all of Gretzky's records seem unbreakable (with 2,857 points, he's nearly 1,000 ahead of second-place Mark Messier), this mark set in 1985-'86 simply can't be surpassed. A player not only needs scoring punch but durability; during this magical season, The Great One averaged 2.69 points per game. In NHL history, only Mario Lemieux has even come close to matching that pace over a campaign, but he didn't play all 80 games, as Gretzky did.


Number 5
Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point night
Basketball
Like Gretzky's and some of the other records that follow on this list, Wilt's 100 points in a game will not be challenged simply because the sport has changed so much. In an era in which entire teams often struggle to score 100 points in a game, a repeat of what happened on March 2, 1962 isn't likely.
During the game, Chamberlain also set records for most field goals (36), free throws (28 of 32), points in a quarter (31), and points in a half (59), while breaking his own record of 78 points in a game set earlier that season. Incidentally, Wilt also holds another scoring record (20,000) that's unlikely to be broken, but we'll leave that for another article.

Number 4
John Wooden's 88 straight wins
Basketball
Another relic of a bygone era, this record harkens back to when college players stuck around for four years and turned their programs into dynasties. Under the tutelage of the Wizard of Westwood and with Bill Walton leading the way, the UCLA Bruins won 88 straight games -- between two losses to Notre Dame on January 23, 1971 and January 19, 1974 -- a span that included three of the record seven straight NCAA championships won by UCLA from 1967 to 1973.
To get an idea of just how hard these feats are to replicate, reflect on the fact that no team has gone undefeated for even a single season since 1976, and no other school has ever won more than two straight titles.

Number 3
Cy Young's 511 wins
Baseball
Young had the benefit of pitching from 1890 to 1911, an era in which hurlers could finish what they started. He picked up wins by throwing 749 complete games out of 815 starts on his way to setting a record that will undoubtedly never be topped. In 1903, Young got his 365th win, passing Pud Galvin for the record, and proceeded to add nearly 150 more victories for good measure.
A pitcher today would need to average 25 wins a season for 21 years to surpass Young; with an average of just 35 starts each year, that's an all-but-impossible task.

Number 2
Jerry Rice's 22,895 receiving yards
Football
This record, and the one that follows it for top spot, earn their positions by virtue of the fact that they were set quite recently, and yet are still of mythic proportions. In other words, Rice is playing the same style of game as current players, and yet he's so far above and beyond them that his accomplishments can't be touched.
This is the most iron-clad of Rice's records set during his career that began in 1985, although he also holds the records for most catches with 1,549 and touchdowns with 197. The next-closest player is Tim Brown, who is nearly 8,000 yards behind. Even for a young star like Randy Moss to catch Rice, he'd have to average nearly 1,400 yards per year for the next 10 seasons, at which point he'll be 38. Don't count on it.

Number 1
Cal Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games
Baseball
Likewise, Ripken set his record in the modern era, and that lends it extra credence in the pantheon of sports accomplishments. Lou Gehrig's "Iron Man" record of 2,130 games was widely regarded as "unbreakable," but Ripken not only passed it on September 6, 1995, he also added an extra 500 straight games before he finally decided to take the pressure off and end the streak. That move, on September 20, 1998, brought to a close a remarkable run that had begun over 16 years earlier on May 30, 1982, and that included a string between June 5, 1982, and September 14, 1987, in which Ripken played 8,243 straight innings.

Considering that only four players were present in all 162 of their team's games in 2004, Ripken's record looks even more impressive, and beyond challenge.
