Relationships - What Is Loyalty?

Fidelity or loyalty refers to a form of commitment to another person that is devoted and steadfast. It is not easily broken. It means adhering to one's promises to another person for an entire lifetime. It means keeping one's commitments forever.

Loyalty is a loving quality, and while it is an easy concept to grasp, it is one that is very difficult to live up to for many people.

Loyalty does not depend on which way the wind blows. It does not depend upon circumstances.

If you are loyal to your partner and he or she is in a disfiguring accident, it does not allow for you to go and find someone better looking. If you are loyal to someone who is wealthy and successful but who goes broke due to unforeseen circumstances, it does not allow that you go looking for someone else who is better off.

Life may throw a lot of curves at you that may sorely test your loyalty. The law in some countries allows for the breaking of one's marriage vows if one's partner goes insane, but the most loyal don't end the relationship even at that point.

There is a myth going around that men don't value fidelity. However, according to an opinion poll that surveyed 1000 men, more than three quarters agreed that fidelity is more important to a good marriage than satisfying sexual relations or having children. Sociologist Philip Blumstein and Pepper Schwartz found in another landmark study that in a decade of marriage not even one in three men had cheated on his wife.

Every relationship rests on a foundation of trust. If it is built on lies, it can never stand. How can truth grow from such a seed?

Truthfulness in all respects is the first requirement for entering into a long-term relationship. Many religious traditions and moral codes hold that deceiving others with untruths is sinful.

Therefore, once you have made vows or promises of loyalty, you should never break them under any circumstances. To do so is unforgivable.

By committing such acts, not only can you hurt the person who believed in you, but you can harm yourself as well by becoming an unreliable person. This is the path to losing your self-esteem. Love and loyalty go hand-in-hand.

If you do commit an act of disloyalty, the most important thing to do is to make amends. Confess your error and ask for forgiveness, but more importantly, demonstrate that you will not commit such an error again.

Unless you're lucky enough to be in an extraordinarily sound relationship, after committing a serious act of disloyalty, the relationship is likely never to be the same again.

Far better is to be loyal and truthful in the first place.

How Can I Get A Boyfriend? You May Be Too Ugly!

Yes, you read that title right. If you are constantly asking yourself, "how can I get a boyfriend?", you may be too ugly. When most women look in the mirror and not see themselves as a ten, they tend to fall into the trap of thinking they are ugly. This type of thinking can be devastating.

The first thing you must realize is that other people do not always see you the same way you see yourself. Yes, looks play an important part when it comes to attracting a man, but it is not the only factor. When you see yourself as ugly you start to feel ugly. When you feel ugly, your confidence goes way down and it affects what I call your total package score.

There are other things besides looks that make you attractive. It can be your sense of humor, the way you dress, your scent, your smile, your intelligence, even the way you walk. All your other characteristics and your looks make up your total package score.

Whatever you feel might be your good traits, you need to focus on those. Do whatever it takes to make you feel good. When you are feeling good you get more confidence, and confidence is sexy, very sexy.

So when I say too ugly, I mean ugly in your thinking. All women are beautiful in their own way. There IS a man out there for you. When you stop thinking ugly he will find you. The best part about it is, when you show your happy, beautiful, confident, and sexy self, you will attract the right guy that is perfect for you.

Do not try to be someone you are not, because you will end up attracting the wrong type of guy. So, what I am really trying to get across is, even though you may not see yourself as a ten, there is someone out there that does.

I know there is someone who has read this article and said to themselves:

I am not ugly, I feel beautiful, I feel confident, but I still do not have a boyfriend.

What do I do now?

Do not worry; even the confident beautiful girls sometimes have a problem getting a boyfriend. This has less to do with you and more to do with him. But regardless if you feel beautiful or ugly there are strategies you can use to attract the right guy.

Just visit my site below to see a video that will show you the dos and dont's of attracting a man.

3 Obstacles You Need to Overcome If You Want to Attract a Girlfriend

There are plenty of times where you have to learn to overcome obstacles in your life to really get what you want most. If you are feeling as though what you want the most is to be able to attract a girlfriend and you are unsure of what it is exactly that seems to be holding you back, this article may help to clear things up a bit. There are plenty of reasons why men find it hard to do well with women, but if you are aware of what your obstacles are, then you have a pretty good chance of being able to turn things around and you might just find that attracting women is a little bit easier than you had assumed it would be.

Not all guys are going to be facing the same exact obstacles, so if you don't see what seems to be getting in your way in this article, that just means that you might have to take some time to see what specific things seem to get in your way time and time again. Most of us run the same patterns in our lives over and over again, so with a little bit of careful contemplation, you should be able to get a good idea of what it is that you need to overcome.

Here are 3 obstacles that I have seen seem to get in the way of a lot of men's attempt at success with women:

1) Shyness in the presence of women you like.

This is so common, it's usually the first thing that I look for when a guy says that he is having a hard time attracting women. And it even afflicts men who are usually not shy in other situations. So, there is no reason to feel weird about admitting the fact that you get shy when you are in the presence of women you like. As long as you know that this is an issue, you can find a way to get over it soon.

2) Lack of proper social skills.

Okay, so not many people are going to admit openly that they may not have the best set of social skills, but I do find that this is a common culprit. A lot of it has to do with the fact that men and women are different when they interact socially, so if you are a guy who is not used to having a lot of female friends, you may not have the best idea on how you need to behave when you do get around women. Luckily, this is another obstacle that is not really that hard to overcome as long as you know it is something that you need to work on.

3) Inability to take things to the next level.

This final issue is what sends most men into the friend zone and it is something that you are not going to be able to get over until you realize that what you want is a girlfriend and not a bunch of girl friends. It's easy to lose sight of that when you do have female friends, but none of them want to be anything more than just a friend.

Why You Should Expand Your Horizons to Meet New Women

Quite often, guys will make the complaint that it is hard for them to meet women. I can see why some guys seem to think that way, but at the same time, all you have to do is look at some of the statistics on how many single women there are out there and you should see that there really are plenty of single women out there. If you are having a hard time meeting women, you might consider the possibility that what you really need to do is to expand your horizons so that you get a chance to socialize with women you normally would not cross paths with. Really, meeting women who are single is not that hard to do.

It's easy to get stuck in a pattern of doing the same things over and over again. Things like going to the same clubs and the same bars or doing the same routine with your guy friends are all going to make it seem more difficult to meet people than it really is or has to be. It's good to expand your horizons so that you can break free from those repetitive patterns and see what it really is like out there.

I was talking to a friend of mine recently who had the complaint about not being able to meet anyone and one of the first questions that I asked was, "what do you do on the weekend?" His response was that he went to this one bar where there weren't too many women his age that ever came into the place on Friday nights, and the rest of the weekend he pretty much lounged around his house and that was about it. I thought to myself, that is why you are feeling like it is hard to meet someone. It's because he was doing the same routine that did not work over and over again.

You can't do that.

No matter what, if you really want to see some success when it comes to dating and socializing, you have to be able to change up your patterns that are not really suiting you and you have to create new ones that are going to help you get what you want. A simple change that my friend could have and should have made was to decide to stop going to the same bar every Friday night because he already knew what was going to happen. He wasn't going to come into contact with any women that he wanted to date there, so all he had to do was to find another night spot to go to. Or, instead of lounging around his apartment on the weekend, he could go out and do more things that involve interacting with people.

If you are finding that it is hard to meet women, just remind yourself that there are plenty of single women out there. What you really should be thinking of is where can you go that you normally do not that will open up your possibilities for coming into contact with the kind of women that you want to date?
