# Top 5: Ways to meet potential partners
Your friends and family are telling you you should ‘get out there’. Sheesh! It’s not like you’re always single by choice. That’s not to suggest that you’re desperate, it’s just not always easy to ‘meet someone nice’ who shares the same values, while managing to intrigue and [...]

# Top 5: Reasons it’s hard being a woman
1. Promoted on your back vs pat on the back
When a woman gets promoted, men assume it’s because you used your charm to get there, or your appointment smacks of tokenism. In fact, women are more likely to apply for a job that’s ‘beneath’ them, than a [...]

It’s hard work being a guy these days.
If you’re a man, and not a slack-jawed, dim-witted red-neck, it can be hard to strike the right balance between being masculine and being a wet, soppy, cloy-boy. Men are judged far more freely, and with far more venom, than women in today’s society. It’s a rough wicket, [...]

# Top 5: Signs you’ve found God
1. You don’t need to convert/convince others
Anyone who feels a deep-rooted need to prove that they hold the ultimate truth is a small-minded, short-sighted religious nutter. A person of mature faith becomes secure in their own journey, and it’s true to say that the wiser you get, the more [...]
