Dating Must Do’s for Singles – Dating & Internet Dating Tips
February 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
You may well only get one opportunity to impress your date, so put a little effort in and do some research before deciding on where to go. For the guys, this attitude will get your date off to a good start, females appreciate when a guy goes out of their way for them.
If you have been dating various singles, are there any dates in particular that stand out? or is the whole singles dating scene becoming depressing as you struggle to find Mr. or Mrs. right?
How often have you arranged to meet your next date at the same old coffee shop as your previous date, with the same ending each time, you leave disappointed.
Singles who meet through internet dating sites, and have never met face to face previously often fall into this trap and don’t put alot of effort into trying to wow their date on their first meeting. If you have met on the internet, you will have a pretty good idea as to the potential attraction that lies ahead and would have built up a connection through communicating with them in chat rooms or web chat.
If you have met someone offline and have exchanged phone numbers last Saturday night at the pub, then that should really count as your first date. Singles who meet at a bar or club are usually helped along with a few drinks, and as such this makes getting to know each other some what easier than if the same two singles met at a book shop.
Singles who meet when out on the town often feel like they are going on a date with a complete stranger the next time they see each other when the influence of alcohol and the party type atmosphere is removed. So the next time you arrange to catch up with someone you have just met its extremely important to keep this in mind and be abit creative with where you plan to meet up with them.
Stay away from the coffee shops, this is sure to create many uncomfortable silences, which will see you forced to create small talk to fill in the time, and before your realise, one of you will be reaching for your car keys and a quick exit.
Wait until you have been out with your new friend three or four times before going out to dinner, you need to be pretty sure there’s a connection so you both feel comfortable in each others space and in this type of environment.
Initially, try meeting somewhere there is already an atmosphere like the Zoo, the beach, or a stroll around the Botanical Gardens. This approach will open up many topics of conversation and will allow both singles a real opportunity to actually get to know each other.
Online dating sites and chat rooms are a popular option these days for singles. Online dating sites give singles the opportunity to see each other, speak to each other and build some chemistry. However, the true compatibility test will always be decided when the barriers are removed.

Terme Di Pitigliano : Accomodation In Farmhouse And Hotel In Pitigliano Maremma Tuscany
February 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
In the heart of Tuscany: an exclusive place to regenerate body and spirit while immersed in both the nature and history of this splendid region. To find wellness and energy in the most pleasant way: natural medicine, aesthetic medicine, thermal baths, mud, massages, physiotherapy and much more.
The land on which the Hotel Terme di Pitigliano sits was known since antiquity for the beneficial properties of the waters that comes forth from its springs. Some researchers, basing their studies on some objects dating back to the 4th century AD that were found in a cave nearby the Hotel’s park, assume that the inhabitants of these lands knew of the phenomenon much before the Etruscans or the Romans.
The first sure known use of the thermal waters goes back, though, to Etruscan-Roman times: belonging to that period are some terracotta objects (votive offering), testifying to the presence of a temple linked to the curative properties of the waters which sprang up from the underground and filled the natural basins formed by the travertine.
During the “Romanization” period, characterized by the construction in the area of numerous villas and of “Pagi”, small rural settlements, the exploitation of this precious natural resource was started with the construction of small canals and with the building of a true thermal center.
Very recent archeological digs at the edge of the park are bringing to light the remains of that ancient thermal construction. With the end of the Empire, the use of the thermal center also stopped, but the hot waters were used up to the mid 20th century to fill the basins used in the maceration of hemp in the process of manufacturing rope.
The new thermal center at Pitigliano proposes very high-quality spa programs that are ready to meet the most demanding needs: from the achievement of psychological and physical balance, to detoxification from daily stress, all the way to aesthetic programs and physiotherapy.
Each day high level professionals and specialized doctors take care of the guests by devising personalized programs for them, and adapting treatments to a holistic notion of well-being which focuses on the person’s wellness and interior balance.
As truly alternative methods, the majority of the treatments fall under Natural Medicine practices which are also sensitive to environmental sustainability.
After the treatments, guests can regenerate the mind and the spirit with thermal waters that have a sulfuric-bicarbonate-calcic-magnesic component and spring up at a temperature of 34°C. Moreover, all of this happens in a natural outside setting of rare purity which generates a beneficial relaxation by means of all the senses.
Hotel Terme di Pitigliano is located in the heart of Maremma, in a particularly fertile land that is steeped in history. Protected by the hills, and away from the bustle of city life, this exclusive Tuscan wellness center combines the traditional concept of curative thermal baths with the more modern spa concept where one can achieve mind and body balance.
Guests will be surrounded by a very professional medical staff who is highly trained to provide the best care and who is aware of all the client’s needs: the programs offered in the thermal center of Pitigliano are especially designed to meet all sorts of needs and requirements.
The thermal complex consists of 28,000 sq m distributed over a 10-hectare thermal park area, in a pristine environment with old rural homes in complete harmony with the landscape, with vineyards that from Etruscan times have been producing excellent wine, and with olive groves yielding the fruit for the very fine grade extra-virgin oil.
The establishment is made up of 3 buildings, with the first one exclusively used for thermal treatments. On the main floor of the other two buildings, you will find the hotel’s reception, lounge, bar, restaurant, and meeting room, as well as the wellness center and other thermal treatments, while rooms are mainly found on the floors above. “La Favisa” Restaurant, is indicative of the highest quality found here, capable of meeting the needs of the most refined gourmets, with a natural vegetarian cuisine for those who want to enjoy themselves yet want to remain fit. In the park you will find two thermal pools, one reserved exclusively for those staying at the hotel and the other reserved for outside visitors, with a maximum capacity of 300 clients per day with Bar, Cafeteria, locker rooms, and bathrooms.
The rooms of Hotel Terme di Pitigliano were designed to provide guests with a feeling of wellness and relaxation : rooms are spacious, done with light colors, with furnishings with clean lines, natural fabrics, and high quality materials.
The atmosphere found in the rooms is in tune with the spirit of this prestigious Thermal center of Tuscany where every detail has been studied to create an overall balanced and pleasant experience.
The hotel offers 18 double rooms, from the Smart Nest which are inviting and cozy, to the Precious Nest, each with exclusive comforts such as telephone, ADSL, mini bar, satellite TV, and safe. In addition, elegant junior suite and marvelous large suites are available, perfect to enjoy a unique and memorable vacation.

Why you Shouldn’t Valet Park your Car
February 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
This week we are going to address an email that was sent to The G Manifesto:
“I wanted to let you know that I love the G Manifesto and all your advice. I dont mean to disrespect you but it seems like all your advice is for people that have a lot of money. I want to get girls and be a G. I am young (19) and want to be like you so if you if you could tell me how to make some cash that would help. Thanks. John.”
Alright John. First of all, you can never be me. Second, Stay in School, study hard, take a corporate job, marry an ex-sorority girl that can’t cook and move to the suburbs. Do you really want the life of The G? Do you really want sleeping with beautiful women to seem mundane because it happens so frequent like flight mileage? (Actually, sleeping with beautiful women never gets mundane) But, do you really want to dodge bullets, deal with hit squads, experience betrayal, have friends sellout, avoid snitches, Cops, date models, Exotic Dancers, high-society blue blood girls, have mad cash flow, travel to beautiful locales, get treated like a king in nightclubs, Sushi Chefs giving you the best cuts of Toro, and have a wardrobe and gun collection that’s equivalent to most “successful” peoples net worth? Maybe you do. Either way I am not going to give you any advice, but I will tell a little story of what I did when I was younger and you can take from it what you will. Fair Enough?
When you are a typical 19 years old guy you don’t have many options for work or girls. No one is really going to hire you for 150k a year to come to the office every day. And no self respecting girl over 22 years old is going to date you. You need CASH or you are basically fu**ed. Here is what I did:
When I was young I got a Valet job at one of the hottest nightclubs in Hollywood. You know, Celebs, Actors, Actresses, Fly Girls, Playboys, Working class stiffs who wanted to be a part of it all etc. A perfect spot for a young up and coming Prototype G. So pay attention John, here is your Blue Print for Money Making:
Take over the Valet Stand
This very important. There will usually be some sort of hierarchy established already at most Valet Stands. You stage a Takeover like Jay-Z (just make sure you don’t get Ethered). You need to get rid of the top guy by any means necessary. Get the top guy fired if you need to. This is what I did: My Running Partner at time and I were hired the same day. I then proceded to tell the top guy who we will call “Shane” that we were taking over. Shane then told me to “f*** off”. So I dropped punches on him from all angles on him like Chuck “The Iceman” Lidell and finished him with my Signature, Six Punch Combo (Jab, Jab, Straight Right, Left hook to the body, Left hook to the head, Right hook to the head…gets them every time). In his defense, he was from somewhere like Irvine, California and I am from, well, The Streets so it wasn’t like we were in the same “weight class”. Plus, I think he was a Mormon or something (no offense to Mormons, but when was the last time you saw a Mormon on HBO PPV holding a belt above his head?). Now that we took over, my Running Partner and I were in charge of all the scheduling and we gave ourselves all the best shifts so we could Cake UP. Give the other guys the Sunday brunch shift where the walk with $45. Keep the Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat nights for you are your crew where you can split with 3 bills each.
Establish an Inner Circle
You need to create an Inner Circle of Valet guys who count, control and distribute the money. This way, you don’t have to split the cash evenly between all the workers. Lets say for instance there are 5 guys working on the night and $800 in tips to split up. Say three of you are in the “Inner Circle” and two are not. Give $200 in tips to each Inner Circle member and $100 to each guy outside the circle. Just that easy, you are making twice as much money as the next guy!
Learn Cars and who tips well
If you see a 60 year old cat roll up in a Sick Vintage GTO, let him know you will take care of him and give him a spot upfront. He might flip you a fifty. A 22 year old girl in a two door stick shift metallic purple Toyota Tercel is going to kick you a buck…..at best. Be wary of famous people. I parked that Robin Leach’s (that jackass from “Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous” of all things) and he gave me $2! I wanted to grab the Louisville Slugger we kept at the Valet stand and destroy his ride, but my Running Partner stopped me. Who knows about how these young Hollywood actors tip today? My guess is they are cheap f***s. But then again, these days, it’s more likely that Ashton Kootchar chump would park my car than me parking his. (By the way, what is up with “young Hollywood” these days? What a collection of Fools. Every time I am partying in LA I can’t help but think how paper thin these guys are. I mean, come on, ripped jeans, dog tags, trucker hats, t-shirts ALWAYS with some gay design or writing on it, rings and bracelets? Weak. Not like I really care or give it much thought, but when someone finally wants to make a movie of my life, not one of these guys could play me on the big screen. Where are the DeNiro’s, Pacino’s, and Steven Bauer’s these days?)
Pretend like the Valet is full
This is a great hustle. Especially if you see some cat roll up fronting in a BMW with his girl. Tell him the lot is full but maybe you could make an exception if he takes care of you. He won’t want to seem like he is the cheap jerk like he really is in front of his chick. Good for a 20 plus every time. Make sure you exchange phone numbers with his girl when he is not looking. Just like that just ask to get “knocked”.
Borrow the Fly Rides
One of the guys I worked with always took the NSX’s, Ferraris, and Porches for rides around town after the people entered the club. I personally liked the vintage Muscle Cars, Cadillacs and occasionally the Lincoln’s with Suicide Doors (and I don’t mean Suits VS SuicideGirls either). I would cruise the cars to say hello to girls I was trying to swoop on so they could see me in different fly rides all the time. This doesn’t really help you make Scratch, but it does help you Pick up Girls.
Crash Cars
We used to crash and dent cars all the time. When you return them to the people leaving the club, just make sure the person drives off the lot. Once they drive off the property you are no longer liable. Know where the to pull the car up that is not well lit so the person can’t see the scratch all the way down his Lamborghini Countach. You don’t want to pay for all the damage you caused out of your own pocket, trust me.
The Skim
Every Valet lot has some system with tickets or what ever to track how many cars are parked every night. This is to determine how much money goes to the Club or the Valet Company. What ever the system is find a way to make it seem like you are parking less cars. Re-use tickets, make phony tickets, etc. You are the one doing all the work and you should make the Lionshare. Skim.
Swipe Pocket Change
Every car you park has at least a dollar in change in the ashtray. No one is going to miss it. Lets say you park 180 cars during a six hour shift, make sure you take a dollar in change out of every car. Who cares if the change is jingling in your pocket all night as you run around parking cars, you just increased your hourly pay rate by $30 an hour!
Swipe Drugs
If you are working at the right Nightclub/ Restaurant, plenty of Cars will have drugs in them. If a Mortgage Broker Type Guy pulls up in a Jaguar (actually, make that a two door weak BMW), “decent” girl in tow and they both have white rings around there nostrils, you better inspect the ride. When you park the ride, rifle thru the glove compartment, under the seat, and the center console. You will score. And it’s not like the guy is going to start yelling “Who took my Coke?!!!” when he realizes it’s gone. But know where the limits are. For instance, if an Asian Guy in a SharkSkin Issey Miyake Suit that looks like Brandon Lee, koi fish tattoos creeping up his neck, rolls up strapped in some Crazy Japanese Sports car with a super hot Asian Girl, “Blak Drgn” on his license plate, and you search his ride and find 20 kilos of heroin, you might not want to take them. Its up to you.
Deal Drugs
You have a perfect built in, ready made, supreme clientele (and I don’t mean that dope Ghostface album either). Other Valets, Club cocktail Waitresses, bartenders, Chefs, sous chefs, promoter guys, and bouncers all want drugs. Plus, a lot of the drugs you are getting are free. If you are working at the right spot, you should get solicited about 30 times a night for drugs by customers. I swooped some well known Actors girlfriends in those days because I was flipping, and the Actor guy thanked me for hooking them up after our transaction! Make sure you have it all; grass, beans, beeks, etc.. Start bankrolling other Valets. Who cares if you get fired? It is just a Valet job! Just make sure you save a little for a good Criminal Defense Attorney. (I am not certain, but I think the government doesn’t agree with some of this stuff…check your local laws). Who would have thought you could make $124,800 a year parking cars?! Tax free. Not bad for a 19 year old.
Lessons to be Learned for People who want to Valet their cars:
1. Never Valet your car
2. If you Really have to Valet your car, Never leave anything in it of value i.e. Guns, CASH, Drugs, uncut Emeralds, etc…
3. Always check your car before pulling away. (Unless you stole the car in the first place, which is the only circumstance that I will Valet)
4. Never Valet your car….
Keep in mind, there are a hundreds of us just like me, who cuss like me, dress sharp like me, walk, talk, act like me, might be the next best thing, but not quite me. The Rest is Up to You………………

5 Reasons I Would Never Date a Fat Man
February 28, 2010 | 2 Comments
I bet some may oppose my opinion on this, but I hope that there are girls out there who are not hypocrites to admit that all things being equal, they would rather choose the athletic type over the big fat guy. I’m slender, but not the Nicole Richie anorexic type, and never in my wildest dream will I date a fat man. Here’s why:
1. If I am with a fat man, I may be tempted to eat like him
If I am with a fat guy and he’s the type who eats every chance he gets, what am I suppose to do? Watch him eat? That’s so pathetic. I mean, I may be tempted to join him especially if he’s munching on my favorite desert and that would really ruin my diet. I would rather be with a health buff who knows how to watch his calories.
2. I can’t imagine having sex with a fat dude!
A fat dude naked in front of me? Sorry, if it’s cold and heartless of me, but it’s not a nice sight. Plus what positions can we do with his fat ass? I’m the type of girl who’d rather keep the lights on to see the masculine aura of my guy. A muscle is hot, fat is not!
Actually there are a lot of things I would like to point out in this section. A fat guy would easily be out of breath. I wonder if he has the energy to keep up with me. Athletic guys have the stamina when it comes to intimacy in between the sheets but a fat man will doze to sleep, snoring loud after the first round. That’s actually based on experience and some common sense. Come on ladies, agree with me.
3. Being fat may possible be a reflection of his inner mess
Okay, not-the-typical-me, but let’s get intellectual here. In a psychological point of view, some people tend to overeat as a way to divert themselves from their frustrations. They turn to compulsive over-eating which makes them obese. They don’t overeat just because the food is sumptuous but there’s something deeper than that. Honestly, I don’t want to date a guy who has a lot of psychological troubles.
4. The physical attribute of a person shows how disciplined he is
Again, intellectually speaking (duh!), an obese body is just a reflection of their lack of self-control. We all can look trim and sexy if we want to and the crucial part is, if we exert effort. But what do these so-called-big guys do? They choose to eat and be a loser. Okay you may have naturally good-looking genes, so why let it go to waste? Hit the gym before you ask me out!
5. I don’t want to be asked this question: “What did you see in that fat bf of yours?”
To some extent we all consider the looks, right? I’m not a fat loser, I’m gorgeous and I can prove that. If I date a fat guy, I would expect that I would be bombarded with a lot of questions why I am dating him. The last thing I want is to defend my choice to every individual out there. So I see to it, that I am proud of my taste when it comes to guys. Please, don’t be a plastic, I know you’d be more proud if the guy towering beside you have six-pack abs than a flabby stomach.
