DATING TIPS:

>> International Online Dating: Different Cultures, Different Challenges 

There was a time when the largest determining factor in any romantic relationship was proximity. The girl next door, down the street or on the other side of town was pretty much the extent of the options available for most single men. As travel became easier - and more necessary for work - after the Second World War, the field broadened and people from different states and even different countries began getting together. Still, however, proximity was the overriding factor in the vast majority of relationships. Letters and the occasional telephone call were all well and good, but it was difficult to sustain a relationship when there was only at best sporadic contact and no visual contact at all.

All of that changed, however, with the advent of the Internet, and the various ancillary technologies that have grown with it - such as voice communication, instant messaging and webcams. Communication with people on the other side of the country - or the other side of the world - is now not only possible, but commonplace. With the explosion of the information age and the openness and ease of communications afforded by the Internet, international online dating has become a multi-billion dollar a year industry, with millions of men and women participating in it. Women in Greece are now enjoying the time they spend online with men in Ottawa, and men in St. Louis are forging meaningful and rewarding relationships with women in the Ukraine.

As with any other form of romantic relationship building, international dating brings with it new and, in some cases, unfamiliar challenges. While it is true that people all over the world share common needs and desires, people from different cultures possess different customs and belief systems and, in some cases, process information differently. Assuming, for instance, that forging a relationship with a woman in Moscow is going to be exactly the same as charming a girl from Cleveland is probably not going to work out terribly well. Below are a few things to keep in mind as you hit the international online dating scene.

* Language Differences: Obviously if you find yourself an online dating interest from an English speaking country (assuming, of course, that your primary language is English) then this shouldn't be an issue, but what about if your interest - to use our above example - is a woman in Moscow? Basically, most people who look into international online dating will be able to speak English at some level, but their proficiency with the language will vary greatly. The key to meaningful communication is to make certain that, until you are sure of how well a woman understands English, you keep things fairly basic. Avoid using long, complex words or sentences to express your thoughts to begin with, because there is every chance that if you don't you will spend as much time explaining yourself as you will getting to know the woman. Be patient, and be prepared to explain what you mean when asked - and also be prepared to help her 'find the right words'. Open communication and clear dialogue is essential to building any romantic relationship online.

One thing you should always avoid at first is "text speak", until you are very comfortable with the woman you are communicating with. "LOL, "BRB" "BBIAB" and other such examples are certainly common enough in the states, but unless the woman you are communicating with is familiar with them, they will seem like gibberish - and could even serve to lower her first (or second, or third) impression of you. Additionally, you will want to keep your use of slang to a minimum at first. If the woman has only remedial or even intermediate English skills, she is likely not to have mastered even frequently used slang terms as yet.

* Humor: One aspect of a man's personality that survey after survey indicates is extremely attractive to women is his sense of humor. The ability to make a woman laugh is important to not only getting any relationship off on the right foot, but also to building the relationship and moving it forward. In the world of international online dating, humor is a necessary component of forging a mutually satisfying relationship - but the rules are a little different. In order for you to make your international dream-girl laugh, she is going to have to get the joke, and actually find it funny.

Part of the concern here harkens back to the language challenges mentioned earlier. Jokes or quips that rely heavily on double entendre or word play - i.e. "Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas, what he was doing in my pajamas I'll never know" - will only work with your online partner if she has sufficient English skills to appreciate them. Another area to avoid - at least at first - is humor that is heavily dependent on sarcasm. Not only can sarcasm be very challenging to someone with limited English skills, but it simply doesn't translate very well to the instant message and/or chat room medium. Generally, it is better to avoid using it until your relationship has progressed to the talking and/or streaming live video stage.

* Time Zones and scheduling: Of course, if you are considering international online dating you are probably going to realize that time differences will exist between you and your partner. However, along with realizing that the difference in time is there, it is important that you keep in mind what these differences mean in terms of your relationship. For instance, returning to the example of our woman in Moscow, if you are in New York City (Eastern Time Zone) then when you get home from work at 5:00 and sign online, it will be 1:00 AM at your online girl friend's place! Conversely, if you want to have a chat with her just before you go to bed, the odds are that she will have just awakened and be rushing around (as we all do) to get ready for work.

One of the keys to international online dating is scheduling time with a woman you are interested in, and then remaining on that schedule if at all possible. This will require a bit of give and take on both your parts - staying up a little later, getting up a little earlier or blocking out lots of time on the weekends. Remember to be considerate of her time, if you expect her to be considerate of yours!

* International Online Dating services: While there are many ways to meet women from other countries online, many busy people (both male and female) choose to use online dating services to make their initial connections. While virtually all of these services charge their customers fees, some studies indicate that not only does using services of this type decrease the time it takes to meet a person you are interested in, but also increases the likelihood that your online relationship will progress into something special and fulfilling. When looking for an international online dating service, make certain that their website is secure, and verified by independent agencies (McAfee, GoDaddy, etc) as being safe. Make certain that they list their fees upfront, and make certain that they offer everything you are looking for (private chats, streaming video chats, etc) before you sign up. Just like anything else, when you are shopping for an international online dating service, make certain you read the fine print.

International online dating can be a very fun and rewarding experience - and there is no reason not to think that if you lucky, you might actually meet the woman of your dreams. But as with anything else in life that is new and different, it is important to understand some of the basics before getting into it. By following a few simple rules, and making certain that you communicate in a clear and considerate manner, who knows ... the perfect woman might actually be in Moscow, and yet only as far away as your laptop!

 

>> Seven Tips For Successfully Dating Russian Women

You might be a bit nervous when you begin dating Russian women. You are probably unfamiliar with what they believe is good manners, or what kind of things they are looking for in a man. You might feel a bit intimidated dating someone who is not from a place that you are familiar with. Don't worry, I've got you covered!

>> Below are seven tips to successfully date Russian women.

1. Be yourself. You should be totally honest with your Russian woman. You want her to like or fall in love with you for who you truly are, and not some made up altar ego. You would appreciate it if your Russian woman was completely honest with you, so do the same for her. Be honest about how much money you make, what kind of person you are, and what you like and dislike. This will ensure that the Russian women you meet will like you for who you truly are.

2. Dress neatly and be well groomed. Russian women usually dress very nicely all the time. This doesn't mean you have to run out and buy designer clothing, you should simply dress neatly. Wear nice fitting clothes that are neat and pressed. Make sure that your hair is cut well and your facial hair is groomed neatly. Russian women appreciate a man who knows how to look his best.

3. If you will be entertaining a Russian woman in your home, ensure that your house is nice and tidy. Along with personal tidiness, it will make a good impression if your home is clean and neat. Remember that your home is an extension of yourself. To make your home more welcoming, light a few candles and play some soft music.

4. Listen to what she is saying. Don't just hear. As with any woman, Russian women like to know that you are interested in what they are saying. Lean in when she is speaking so she knows that you are intent on what she is communicating with you. Ask questions so she knows that you are interested in hearing more.

5. Understand your Russian woman. You should understand that Russian women are like any other woman and need attention, affection, and love. All women love to know that they are special and unique. Understanding what motivates her, or what angers or saddens her will help you immensely when it comes to dating her. She will appreciate not having to explain herself.

6. Make sure she knows that she is special. You don't have to publish that fact in a newspaper, but make sure she knows it. Purchase her a small gift, or give her something you know she will love. Even if it is a special dinner or something that means a lot to her. Listening to her speak should give you some clues on where to go with this one.

7. Learn about her culture and country. Do some research to learn a bit about her culture, society and country. Knowing where she comes from will help you to understand some of the reasons that she is the way she is. Your Russian woman will appreciate the fact that you're gone to some trouble to understand more about who she is and where she came from. Any woman appreciates a man who tries hard to show her that she is special, worthy, and important.

Use these tips and ideas to help you successfully date Russian women, and show that special one how great she really is.

>> 5 Tips to Weave Your Way into any Woman's Heart

"I really don't understand... I have everything a single lady may desire. A nice car, a top-class CV, that can make any other guy look like a loser and to top it all, I wear Armani, so what's the reason that I am always alone."

How many times have you asked yourself these unrelenting questions?

The road to love and romance has many a heartbreaks littered about its length and breadth. So if you think that you're the only one seeking romance and only finding unrequited love, think again.

However, it's not yet time to despair. Whether Christian, interracial, or BBW --however you catagorize yourself -- here are a few tips to find the way to a girl's heart may come in handy at just the right moment:

1) Dressing right at all times: By this I do not mean that you need to wear your Armani to the grocers, in fact just what is required is that each time you make an appearance any place, where there are likely to be humans, just make sure that you are presentable. Some cologne and a clean shaven look ... and you may be on the path to a real relationship, because you could meet her just anywhere.

2) Let the eyes do the talking: Establishing eye contact and bestowing complete, undivided attention to the person who may turn out to be the most important one in your life is the one most important act of wooing your dream girl. Believe it or not Ethnologists have a special name for it "the copulatory gaze". The perfect sexy look can be achieved by enlargement of your pupils. So, how does one achieve that? Just look at her face's most lovely features and let your mind think the most loving and caring Snap out of hopelessness thoughts about her. This will cause your pupils to enlarge to an endearingly large size.

3) Love her with your eyes: While you chat to her, let your gaze hover over her face in a loving caress. Lingering over the eyes, nose and lips turn by turn, your gaze can make her feel like the most attractive and most loved woman of the world.

4) Talk to her about her: Stumped at what to talk to her about? You do not need to exert yourself much, just learn to listen to her and lead her on to reveal more about herself and her experiences. She will love the way you share her deepest thoughts and emotions.

5) Try to keep it romantic: Whatever you do, do not indulge in talk about stocks and market conditions. Unlike men, women like to discuss feelings and emotions. What for you is $2000 expenditure could just as well be her way of relieving her worries. So, try to connect to her by talking to her about things that actually matter to her.

All this may seem like plain common sense, yet most men do not care to follow these tips.


So if you want that special somebody -- go all out for it!

 

 

>> AFRICA TRAVEL TIPS:

Top 10 Tourist Destinations in South Africa 

So you have been given the green light to arrange your next exciting overseas travel adventure. You have chosen South Africa is the travel destination but in your planning process, you're at a loss to know what best to include on your itinerary. You've accepted the long haul flight from your home country and want to make the most of every moment of your time in South Africa by including the most exciting highlights.

 

You may ask what South Africa's highlights are and maybe the first thoughts that jump to mind are Cape Town and the Kruger National Park. Well, can I take this opportunity to tantalize your taste buds?

 

Cape Town and Kruger National Park are the biggest selling destinations in South Africa, but wow, there is so much more to explore in this beautiful country! Let me divulge on its "must see and do's".

 

Cape Town, Western Cape Province

Just recently been voted "the 3rd Best City in the World" by US Travel and Leisure Magazine 2008. Cape Town offers a huge diversity of things to do including culture activities and theatre shows, great shopping, casino entertainment, outdoor adventures and scenic nature tours, historic tours, wine tasting, beer tasting and brandy tasting. You will find a number of things here to keep you entertained. She's beautiful, she's vibrant and she'll leave you with lasting memories.

 

Cape Winelands, Western Cape Province

The Cape Winelands refers to the beautiful wine growing area stretching from Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch all the way over the Hottentots Holland mountain range to Montague and Robertson showcasing over 200 different wine estates. These world-class estates offer wine tasting and some offer cellar tours providing a fascinating insight to the winemaking industry. The scenery is magical with dramatic mountain backdrops and endless vineyards that change colours with the changing seasons.

 

Hermanus, Western Cape Province

Known as the best land based whale-watching destination in the world, Hermanus is visited by Southern Right Whales between May and December every year. Moving north from the cold Antarctic, attracted by the warmer waters along the South African coastline and the calm waters of the protected bays, they come to mate and calve. The most spectacular close up sightings of these gentle giants can be seen from the rocky coastline or from a licensed chartered boat offering exhilarating boat-based whale watching. Witness them skyhopping, lobtailing or breaching, typical actions that when seen close up leave you breathless. September month seems to attract the majority of numbers and this is also when you can experience the colourful Hermanus Whale Festival, festivities celebrating the return of the whales.

 

Garden Route, Western Cape Province

The coastal area stretching from Mossel Bay to Tsitsikamma is known as the Garden Route. A beautiful area made up of rugged rocky coastline, long white sandy beaches, fairytale evergreen forests, protected endemic fynbos vegetation and botanically rich lakes and estuaries. The popular coastal towns of George, Wilderness, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay attract a huge number of tourists every year who come for the temperate climate, natural beauty and numerous outdoor activities.

 

Game Reserves of the Eastern Cape Province

Africa is well known for its exciting wildlife but also for its malaria. The Eastern Cape offers excellent Big 5 game viewing in a malaria free zone, a big draw card, especially for families travelling together with young kids.

 

Isimangaliso Wetland Park, Kwazulu Natal Province

Listed as South Africa's first World Heritage Site in December 1999 in recognition of its superlative natural beauty. Covering about 240,000ha, with a further 84,000ha in, on or under the sea, this is a large chunk of sub-tropical paradise stretching 220km along the East Coast from St Lucia to the Mozambique border. As well as a mind-blowing range of natural systems, ranging from dune, swamp and coastal forests to rocky and sandy shores, coral reefs and submarine canyons, mangroves, savanna grassland and the largest protected wetland in southern Africa, it is a culturally fascinating area and has immense fun potential. Game drives, bird watching, hippo and crocodile cruises, cultural tours, fishing, canoeing, scuba diving, snorkelling and whale watching are some of the activities that can be enjoyed.

 

Kruger National Park, Limpopo and Mpumalanga Province

World renowned as an exceptional wildlife destination, Kruger National Park is approximately 2 million hectares in size and is South Africa's largest game reserve. Unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals.

 

Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga Province

The Sabi Sand Reserve is the birthplace of sustainable wildlife tourism in Southern Africa, and is the oldest of all the private reserves in South Africa. It has only ever been a wilderness area and is home to a vast wildlife population, including The Big Five, and a number of endangered species too. Flanking the Kruger National Park, animals pass unhindered between the reserves. This is where you will find some of the oldest and well-known private game reserves such as Londolozi, Mala Mala and Singita offering their exclusive luxury lodges and the authentic all-inclusive African safari experience.

 

Cradle of Humankind, Gauteng Province

The Cradle of Humankind Site covers 47 000 hectares of land, mostly privately owned and is made up of 12 dolomitic limestone caves containing the fossilised remains of ancient forms of animals, plants and most importantly, hominids. The dolomite in which the caves formed, started out as coral reefs growing in a warm shallow sea about 2.3 billion years ago. The Maropeng Visitors Centre, an internationally acclaimed tourist attraction, highlights, by means of interactive, visually stunning exhibits, the universal relevance of the Cradle of Humankind as our ancestral home. A fascinating display and a definite "must see".

 

Soweto, Gauteng Province

Soweto - melting pot of South African urban culture, rich with the history of the struggle against apartheid. Soweto is the most populous black urban residential area in South Africa with a population count of close to 900 000. The name Soweto is an acronym for South Western Townships, a cluster of townships sprawling across a vast area 20km south west of Johannesburg. Soweto is best visited accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will not only give a real sense of its history but help you understand its ongoing evolution. A tour to Soweto would normally include the Mandela Museum, where Madiba once lived; a stop at the Hector Pieterson Memorial; a drive down Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world to have housed two Nobel Prize winners (Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu); Freedom Square, where the ANC's Freedom Charter was proclaimed to thousands in 1956; and the Regina Mundi Church, the "Parliament of Soweto", where the bullet-marked walls are witness to ex-security-police brutality.

 

These suggestions offer a basic insight to South Africa's ability to "wow" her visitors but there are many more hidden gems under her veil. The "off the beaten track" areas are sometimes even more spectacular so be sure to investigate these. Also combining a visit to a neighbouring country like Botswana, Namibia or Mozambique adds great value as well. So is South Africa a great travel destination? I believe you will find it absolute fabulous!

 

 

>> On Safari in Botswana

Botswana is the location of the HBO hit "The #1 Women's Detective Agency."

Once a year deep in the central African highlands, heavy seasonal rains fall. Floodwaters gather momentum and head south into the Kalahari Desert forming the largest inland delta in the world - The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. This unique wetland supports and sustains a huge diversity of wildlife and is considered by many to be one of Africa's most prolific wildlife and wilderness sanctuaries.

 

This natural phenomenon contrasts with another flourishing ecosystem driven by different stimuli in the Chobe and Linyanti regions north of the delta. The many varied habitats within the Chobe and Linyanti wildlife areas - such as marshes, waterways, riverine forests, dry woodlands and the world-famous Savute Channel - have created an area renowned for its predators and large concentrations of game, particularly elephant that can sometime gather to some 400 strong.

 

Botswana government abandoned mass tourism and focused on high quality / low volume tourism as the best way to create a sustainable industry that would employ a large percentage of its people, while still preserving the environment. Today wildlife and tourism employs about 45% of the population in northern Botswana. The country has remained focused on delivering the finest possible authentic wildlife experience, which is accomplished through one of Africa's most sensible land plans ever devised. While there are national parks open to the general public, much of the country's most productive wildlife areas lie outside these parks in private reserves known as concessions. These concessions are leased out to safari companies that must manage them within strict guidelines to prevent overcrowding, must train and employ local people and are obliged to pay for the privilege of using these areas. In this way 40% of the country has been set aside for wildlife.

 

It is for this reason that a relatively high-end budget is required to experience a safari in Botswana. The all-inclusive luxury game lodges within the private concessions have exquisite remote settings, all naturally blending in to their surroundings. Access into the Okavango Delta and Linyanti Region is limited to light aircraft chartered flights adding to the magnificent wildlife and nature experience of your safari as you fly over the game rich areas and water wonderland.

 

The best time of the year to travel to Botswana:

The winter season is generally known as the best season to view game in Africa because it is the dry season. The bush is dry and largely leafless making it easier to spot the game and the game tends to gather at waterholes to quench their thirst and are therefore easy to find. However the green season in Botswana has incredible diversity and what's more is it offers "out of season" rates.

 

The green season (summer) covers the months November to April and has long been considered low season by the travel trade. Because rain has fallen game has dispersed, vegetation is thicker and humidity is higher. As a result many would rather send their clients elsewhere. To do so is to miss out on an explosion of life and colour and some exceptional game and bird viewing in spectacular scenery. The birthing of multiple antelope species makes for interesting predator-prey interactions and the myriad migratory bird species and green luxuriance make for spectacular photographic backdrops. Of course some areas do become less productive, but the trick is picking an itinerary that takes in those areas that produce year round high quality game viewing, as well as those areas that come into their own in summer.

 

Although the rain received in the summer months has a minimal affect on the water levels of the Okavango Delta, this is not the main cause of high and low water levels. In fact the delta high-water level takes place in the dry winter - April to October or November. It takes many months for the summer floodwaters from the Central African Highlands to reach the Okavango Delta, once again changing its appearance and therefore the experiences available to you.

 

To enhance your wildlife and nature experience, many varied inclusive activities are available to you from these luxury game lodges. Safaris by boat and dugout canoe (mokoro) allow an amble stroll through the peaceful waterways and are particular brilliant for bird watching, while game drives and night drives by open 4x4 vehicles are best for tracking the animals. Guided walks are unsurpassed experiences for being in touch with nature. Elephant back safaris are available from specific camps as well. This is however an optional experience at an extra cost.

 

Mobile tented safaris are also available for walking safari experiences, concentrating on wildlife rich areas guests would not normally see. Walking on safari has always been regarded as one of the finest ways to get a feel for the African wilderness, allowing guests to get their feet on the ground and get away from vehicles, to really feel, smell and touch Africa.

 

Money matters:

While all the luxury game lodges are sold on an all-inclusive basis, some do not include all drinks and none include tips (tips are however not compulsory). These lodges do accept MasterCard and Visa credit cards as well as travellers cheques for little extras that you may need. They also accept US dollar, British pound, Euro and Rand cash. The local currency is the Pula.

 

Allow Botswana to show you her true colours, to creep in under your skin and leave you beaming with excitement as you return home to tell friends and family about your African safari adventure.

Southern Africa travel specialists with a focus on all inclusive wildlife safaris, we tailor make African safaris to suit you and your needs. With over 15 years of first hand travel experience throughout South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique we can assure you peace of mind when using our professional travel services.  Africa - Cape Town - South Africa - Safari - Articles 

 

 

>> De-mystifying Jilbab: Dress of Modesty For Muslim Women
What is a Jilbab?

The Jilbab is an outer garment which covers the whole body. This definition is discerned from a lexical and textual basis.

Lexical description of Jilbab as an Outer Garment:

The nature and description of the Jilbab can be understood from the lexical definition of the word Jilbab as explained in classical Arabic dictionaries. These sources also explain the function of the Jilbab as an outer garment:

The classical Arab linguists have drawn the meaning from the root word said: "The Jilbab...is that which conceals the clothes like a cover"

As for modern dictionaries it is worth citing from the monumental work of the 19th-century British scholar and lexicographer Edward William Lane (1801-76): Arabic-English Lexicon: 'Jilbab: …one that envelopes the whole body: (TA) and a wide garment for a woman, less than the milhafah (sheet): or one with which a woman covers over her other garments…'

This description has also been given in the Oxford Dictionary of Islam edited by John L. Esposito where it states:

Jilbab Generic term for women's outer garment (shawl, cloak, wrap) in Arabian sedentary communities before and after the rise of Islam. The Qur'an (333:59) instructs Muslim women to cloak themselves as a mark of status and as a defensive measure against sexual harassment in public places.

Other conditions:

There are other conditions which are not specific to Jilbab but generally applicable to all clothing when women go before non-mahrams (legal for marriage) men whether inside or outside the home. They are the following:

i. It must be loose-fitting ii. Should not be semi-transparent iii. Should not become an immodest attraction (tabarruj) iv. Should not resemble the clothing of men.

To Muslims, the Jilbab is essentially a religious duty first and foremost. The authority for it is derived directly from Islamic sources and not the political writings of contemporary Muslims, as is sometimes believed. It was advocated by the classical jurists who expounded its requirement a thousand years before the phenomenon of resurgent Islam. The Jilbab predates the current political controversies and therefore the motivation for adhering to it is born of a feeling of religious obligation and not a political statement.

Muslim women have proven to fulfil and adhere to this injunction by producing creative designs of Jilbab to assist women in participating in outdoor activities. One such product is a the much famous 'Burkini' newly designed swimming costume for Muslim women covering the entire body except hands, feet and face that gained coverage in media worldwide.

Is Jilbab a symbol of Oppression?

The Muslim woman's attire are viewed by some non-Muslims as oppressive because, it is claimed, the Jilbab represents the inferior status of woman, that they are compelled against their will or that it inhibits their participation in public life. Muslims believe that this view is not born of an understanding of the divine wisdom for legislating the dress and nor from the positive effects that accrue from its adherence.

Rather, the origins of such thinking are the abuse of women by some Muslim men which Islamic law itself denounces or the stereotypical perceptions of role of women in Islam. Muslims believe that Islamic law views men and women the same in their worth and religiosity before their Lord and argue that Islam liberated women and gave them many rights in the 5th Century C.E. such as the right to vote (legalised for British women in 1918) and the right to freely own and dispose of property independent of her husband (legitimised in Britain in 1882).

Former Sunday Express Chief Reporter and well known British journalist Yvonne Ridley defended the Jilbab in an article in the Washington Post called 'How I came to Love the Veil'when she stated 'When Islam offers women so much, why are Western men so obsessed with Muslim women's attire?'

Thus, Muslim women wear the Jilbab to remain modestly attired in public life and feel that it enhances their worth rather than diminish it. Its practical effects are also appealing to women who feel they can confidently participate in the outside activities such as work and study free from the disrespectful glances of men. So far from obstructing women's social participation the Jilbab actually facilitates it by empowering and liberating her from unwanted sexual advances and thereby promoting an atmosphere which is conducive to the social interaction of men and women.
