Hello all my fabulous readers,
I was just reading this intriguing archived article of Cosmopolitan Magazine. It was called 5 Fascinating Paternity Test Facts. This one is just for you guys.
Basically, the article talks about how paternity cases are on the rise due to several factors. One being the rate of children that are born to unwed mothers. Caroline Caskey, CEO of Identigene and Randy M. Kessler, Family-Law Attorney; present 5 fascinating DNA testing facts:
Fact 1.) "If the potential father skips town, his DNA can still be tested. Genetic material culled from chewed gum, cigarette butts, razors, or even a licked envelope can last 30 years and still be in good enough condition to determine paternity."
Fact 2.) "Dead men sometimes take one. If a court deems it necessary to resolve a fatherhood dispute, a corpse will be dug up for tissue samples, which are then tested and compared to a child's DNA in a similar way to how a live guy's tissue is tested."
Fact 3.) "If a woman has slept with identical twins, a paternity test would prove inconclusive because the men have the exact same DNA."
Fact 4.) "In about 35% of paternity cases, the presumed dad turns out to not be the biological one."
Fact 5.) "Even if a test proves a man isn't a child's biological father and the real dad is located, the non-father may still have to pay child support. If a judge thinks it's in a child's best interest, he'll order the wrongly accused father to support the kid-and the real father doesn't have to contribute in any way."
Wow! it is amazing what science can do!

Why Do Women Go After the Same Men Over and Over Again, Even When They Always Get Hurt?
Hello all my wonderful readers,
Wow! Do I have a perplexing question for you today...Why Do Women Go After the Same Men Over and Over Again, Even When They Always Get Hurt?
Well that is a very complex question and I could write for days on the subject, so let me see if I can just give you a simplified answer.
Women who constantly get hurt by the men they're involved with are usually insecure and seeking something in themselves that they might not even be aware of. You see, we grow up with certain insecurities and self-esteem issues and when we are close with somebody we tend to pick men subconsciously who feed these insecurities because this is all we know. We are in familiar territory, so even though it feels bad, it also feels comfortable to us.
Relationships are so hard and they will never be perfect, but they should make you feel good about yourself. It becomes a problem when the person you're with makes you feel worse about yourself. Can you change him? Only if he wants to change for you and the relationship. Most likely though, this type of man is facing his own insecurities so he doesn't know how to fix his own problems, how can he fix yours? If nothing gets better, getting out of the relationship early can save you a lot of damage to your self-esteem. By ending it, you are saying that you are worth more. You are saying that you deserve respect and better treatment, and that will be the confidence boost that you need.
It is so hard to break a cycle that you have been acclimated to throughout your life, but it will get better over time if you work on it. Take this time to look into yourself first and figure out what you are seeking and make a list of things that are important to you in a relationship. Your new attitude will attract the right kinds of men that will be healthy for you.

Why Can't Men Just Say They're Sorry?
Hello all my wonderful readers,
I apologize for not posting anything for a while, so to make it up to you I have two posts for you today.
The burning question is...Why Can't Men Just Say They're Sorry?
This may seem like a complex question with a complex answer, but the truth is that the answer is simple. The reason why men don't change this, is the hard part.
The psychological reason they can't say those two very important words (I'm Sorry) is because they feel that it makes them weak or "less than a man". Even if it is just the two of you, they feel that saying sorry, to anyone, is a form of public humiliation and a move that makes them more vulnerable to criticism, according to Warren Farrell in Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Men are action-oriented they prefer to show you how they feel than tell you. That's why when they do something wrong, they would rather prove to you that they are remorseful by "showing" you with actions that they will not do it again. They look on the surface and like to see results. In turn, they expect the same from you when you've done something wrong. Women are quick to say sorry, but men don't see a point to those words. They want to see action.
What should you do if you are craving his recognition that he hurt your feelings? Well, from my experience with my husband, I know not to push the issue and try not to put the words "I'm sorry" in his mouth. Every time I have done this, it backfires on me because he says it but doesn't mean it. It is so much more important to me when he means it. So, don't wait for the S word from him. Tell him that you're hurt and why and then keep your eyes open for signs / actions of remorse.
Thank you.
Jessie J.
