What are the Risk of Dating

Here's one interesting article I found, well dating should be fun, but did you know there are also risk in dating? Listed below are some risk when it comes to dating.
  • Rejection. Adolescents are especially sensitive in rejection. Feeling left out by peers can be devastating. When a social activity is planned, whether it is a group activity or a one to one dating activity, and an adolescent is not included, he or she might question his or her self worth. It is extremely important to encourage adolescents to share these feelings with caring adults. Feelings of rejection can result in a loss of self esteem.
  • Sex-role stereotyping. Ideally, the dating experience will assist adolescents in becoming comfortable with their masculinity or femininity and their sex roles. However, it must be remembered that an adolescent has obtained previous information about masculinity and femininity almost entirely from his or her family. Adolescents tend to model the examples that have been set for them. Adolescents who have learned sex role stereotyping might continue attitudes and the accompanying behaviors in their dating relationships. Thus, while one person is learning to express his or her masculinity or femininity and sex role, the other person might be providing unhealthy feedback. When this occurs, adolescents should be encouraged to discuss the situation with trusted adults.
  • Superficial relationships. Because peer acceptance is so important, adolescents might go through the motions of dating to be a part of the group rather than to obtain the benefits of dating. For example, an adolescent might date someone only because he or she is in a popular clique. This kind of relationship is superficial. Neither the quality of the relationship nor the well being of the other person involved is a priority. Some destructive behaviors might accompany superficial relationships. These behaviors might include leading someone on in order to continue dating, lying about feelings, and/or failing to pay attention to the other person's needs. If an adolescents obtains the desired benefit-acceptance from the peer group-he or she might receive enough satisfaction from superficial relationships that a pattern for this kind of relationship develops.

Sexiness in your Voice

Now lets compare the last two actress who played the sexy villain Catwoman, most people said that Halle Berry could never out-purr the sexy meow of feline fatale Michelle Pfeiffer. But does that make Pfeiffer sexier than Berry?

A study shows that those with attractive voices are more likely to be sexually adventurous. Researchers had 149 men and women rate recorded voices according to attractiveness. The study also showed that the most appealing voices belonged to people who had sex at an early age, had more sexual partners and were prone to infidelity.

The audibly seductive men had broad shoulders and narrow hips while sultry sounding women had smaller waists and wider hips. Also, their pinky finger on one hand is almost the same size as that on the other.

A theory suggests that long before humankind discovered the light bulb, people relied on voice quality to determine sex appeal.
