			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/man-checking-out-woman2-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5503" title="man-checking-out-woman" src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/man-checking-out-woman2-1-300x199.jpg" alt="Does size matter?" width="300" height="199" /></a>There are plenty of ways for a man to attract a woman. Being good-looking is the most obvious way to do it but being well-endowed certainly doesn’t hurt either. Some men are blessed with both and have no trouble bringing home women.</p>
<p>But what if you could only choose one? Would you prefer to be extremely handsome with a dick so small that you could never truly pleasure a woman OR would your rather be ugly with a dick so big you could make even the loosest women squeal with delight?</p>
<p>It’s time for another edition of <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/tag/the-great-debate/" target="_blank">“The Great Debate.”<span id="more-5499"></span></a></p>
<p><em>So we are all clear on the debate, I’m not just talking about having a small penis that is slightly below average. I’m talking about a penis that is so small it doesn’t fall within three <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation" target="_blank">standard deviations</a> of the average male penis. However, you would be considered a near 10 on the <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/the-hotness-scale-defined/" target="_blank">LWB hotness scale</a> (assuming the standards are the same for a man). You’d have all the characteristics of someone who is considered universally attractive (e.g Brad Pitt or George Clooney).</em></p>
<p><em>On the flip side, if you chose Ugly/ Big Dick, you will look like<a href="http://search.espn.go.com/john-clayton/" target="_blank"> ESPN’s John Clayton</a> with a porn star-sized dick.</em></p>
<p>Obviously there are plenty of benefits to being attractive. Aside from the obvious notion that a good-looking man will be able to attract more women, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203687504576655331418204842.html" target="_blank">an attractive male will also make more money over his lifetime than his ugly counterpart.</a></p>
<p>According to the linked story from the Wall Street Journal, attractive people are likely to earn 3%-4% more than a person with below-average looks. That adds up to $230,000 more over the lifetime of a good-looking person. In addition, good-looking people are generally happier, more popular and marry partners who are equally as good-looking.</p>
<p>Based on the study and just my everyday observations, good-looking people are blessed with an extreme advantage in the game of life. This may certainly be more than enough of a trade-off for having a small penis.</p>
<p>These are all great advantages to being attractive but most men would say they desire to be good-looking so they can have sex with more, better-looking women. Women will be willing to overlook flaws that that would leave other less-attractive men single. An attractive man can say and do stupid things, treat a woman like shit and generally be a loser at life and still would have no trouble getting laid in most cases.</p>
<p>The problem Good-looking/ Small Penis Guy will have is actually keeping a woman. Once he gets a woman to bed and that woman sees his two-inch piece of manhood, its unlikely he will ever go out with her again (unless he is adept with his tongue).</p>
<p>Is a woman willing to be in a relationship where she will never be satisfied sexually just to be with a handsome man who she can show off to all her friends? What woman would want to knowingly marry a guy with a tiny penis? She’ll be entering into a lifetime of sexual frustration.</p>
<p>Looks will fade over time but his dick size will always stay the same. A guy in this situation is better off saving himself until marriage if he finds a girl he really likes. That way, she’s stuck with him and his little penis for life.</p>
<p>I have a tendency to reference <em><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/the-mermaid-theory-is-it-true/" target="_blank">How I Met Your Mother</a> </em>episodes in the past and I am going to do it again. There is an episode where Ted is getting over a break-up with his ex-girlfriend Robin. Shortly after the split, Robin has a fling with a character played by Enrique Iglesias. Ted is distraught because Robin appears to have rebounded so quickly and is having sex with a man much better-looking than he is. He believes Robin is over him already and has “won the break-up.”</p>
<p>At the end of the episode Ted discovers that Iglesias’ character has a small penis. The episode ends with Ted rejoicing with his friends over a beer as he proclaims that <a href="http://youtu.be/8wdGfs-2Ecc" target="_blank"><em>he</em> is in fact the winner of the break-up.</a> In this situation, a big penis trumps attractiveness.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5501" title="Ron Jeremy" src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/401px-Ron_Jeremy_2009-200x300.jpg" alt="Better to be good-looking or have a big dick" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_jeremy" target="_blank">Ron Jeremy</a> can certainly attest to that. Jeremy, a famous porn star, has achieved quite a lot in his life because he has a big dick. He is a hideous, fat looking man but he became one of the biggest porn stars of all-time because of his huge package.</p>
<p>Now on the other hand, Jeremy is probably the exception to the rule. He had the benefit of being a porn star, so millions of people were able to see the size of his penis. He also slept with thousands of beautiful women because of his occupation. Had he just been a regular dude, I doubt he would have been nearly as successful.</p>
<p>A ugly guy with a big penis may have trouble landing a girl, but once he does he has a much better chance of keeping that girl than the Good-looking/ Small Penis Guy. Cleary this woman overlooked Ugly/ Big Dick Guy’s appearance to have sex with him in the first place, so she must have liked his personality A LOT. And now that she is likely getting good sex on top of that, there’s no reason for her to ever leave.</p>
<p>If I had to choose, it would certainly be a difficult decision. I would not want to live my life with a tiny penis but I think the perks of being insanely good-looking would offset the issues that would arise from having a small dick.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I’m already married, so having women throw themselves at me would just end up bothering me because I wouldn’t be able to act on it. Perhaps in my situation, since I know where my next thousand lays will be, I’d choose being ugly with a big dick. I’m having sex with the same woman whether I’m ugly or hot, so I might as well make sex more fun for the both of us.</p>
<p>I’m sure there are plenty of attractive men out there that appear to have it all, but are living with the burden of having a tiny pecker. I’d like to interview these people and see if they’d be willing to trade some of their looks for a few more inches. The problem is I would never find a guy who’d be willing to admit he has a small dick.</p>
<p>I suppose the real question to ask is not whether we prefer one or the other but what do women prefer? Whatever they want is our answer.</p>

<p>Many have wondered why Pujols decided to leave St. Louis, a city where he was adored by baseball-crazy fans.  </p>
<p>Well, Pujols’ wife, Diedre Pujols, <a href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7346376/albert-pujols-wife-deidre-explains-why-los-angeles-angels-slugger-left-st-louis-cardinals" target="_blank">gave a little insight into Albert’s decision</a> during a recent interview with a St. Louis-area Christian radio station. <span id="more-5480"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When it all came down, I was mad. I was mad at God because I felt like all the signs that had been being played out through the baseball field, our foundation, our restaurant, the Down Syndrome Center, my relationships, my home, my family close,&#8221; Diedre Pujols told the station. &#8220;I mean, we had no reason, not one reason, to want to leave. People were deceived by the numbers.&#8221;</p>
<p>She indicated the key moment was the Cardinals&#8217; initial offer of five years and $130 million.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you have somebody say &#8216;We want you to be a Cardinal for life&#8217; and only offer you a five-year deal, it kind of confused us,&#8221; Diedre Pujols said. &#8220;Well, we got over that insult and felt like Albert had given so much of himself to baseball and into the community &#8230; we didn&#8217;t want to go through this again.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently the Cardinals “insulting” offer had the poor Mrs. Pujols questioning her faith.  How could the Pujols family ever survive this hardship?  Only 130 million? How will she feed her family?  Why does God do BAD things to GOOD people?? WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN DIEDRE PUJOLS, LORD?</p>
<p>And there’s no way she could EVER imagine going through difficult ordeal of having several professional baseball organizations throw millions and millions of dollars at her husband in an effort to convince him to play a game for a living.  People with cancer must think they have it made when they hear of the struggles that Mr. and Mrs. Pujols have had to endure through this difficult free agency process.  </p>
<p>Please…someone insult me with a $130 million dollar offer to play a game.  Shit…for that amount of money, I’ll do a lot less enjoyable jobs than play baseball.  I will do unspeakable things for that amount of money.  </p>
<p>Diedre Pujols later went on to say this…</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just like God,&#8221; she said at the end of the interview, &#8220;to put us on a team called the Angels.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>OHHH PLEEEEASE!!!…Even <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/america’s-love-hate-affair-with-tim-tebow/">Tim Tebow </a>thinks this statement is ridiculous.  I find it highly unlikely that God used his divine intervention to put the Angels in a better position to win the pennant.  Those types of stories only happen in the movies (and Denver Broncos games)…and they already made that film.  Perhaps this will be the sequel to <em>Angels in the Outfield</em>.  We’ll call it Angels at the Bargaining Table. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Being_dumped_break_up.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5415" title="Being_dumped_break_up" src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Being_dumped_break_up-300x200.jpg" alt="How to survive a break up" width="300" height="200" /></a>Getting dumped is hard.  Chances are you’ve been dumped by a girl you were crazy about at some point in your life.  If you haven’t yet, it will probably happen eventually.   There’s no shame in getting upset about it.  It hurts to get dumped, no matter how much of a tough guy you think you are.</p>
<p>The time period immediately following a break-up can be devastating.  You wake up the next morning after getting dumped, thinking it was a bad dream.  Then eventually reality sets in and depression hits.   You probably barely have the motivation to put on pants or even get out of bed.  Nothing in life brings you joy, except for listening to Brian McKnight’s <a href="http://youtu.be/JKeFqvckXvY" target="_blank">“6, 8, 12”</a> on repeat.</p>
<p>Being heartbroken is one of the shittiest feelings a man is likely to ever experience.  Unfortunately, it can be something that is hard to shake.</p>
<p>Time is the main ingredient in the recipe for getting over a break-up. But a man can expedite this process if he handles things properly <em>or</em> he can make the recovery process take even longer if things are handled poorly.   Here are some important tips which can help a heartbroken man get over a break-up as fast as possible.<span id="more-5413"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. DO NOT CALL HER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!</strong></p>
<p>After a break-up you will likely be tempted to call your ex-girlfriend.  Maybe you want to talk things out, maybe you miss the sound of her voice or maybe you just want to call her stupid cunt for breaking your heart.</p>
<p>Whatever the reason, calling an ex-girlfriend shortly after a break-up will likely have negative consequences.  You’ll either start crying like a little bitch, beg her to take you back or get frustrated and call her all sorts of nasty words like the one I just wrote above.  Whatever the case is, you have just made your situation worse.</p>
<p>I know it can be tough to stay away but you have to resist the urge as best you can.  It will be for the best.   You need to do whatever you can to get her out of your mind and calling her will only keep her fresh in your thoughts.   Cutting off all contact is the best way to go.</p>
<p><strong>2. STAY AWAY FROM SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES</strong></p>
<p>This is similar to the first rule, in that it involves contacting your ex, though Facebook is a slightly more indirect method of communication.  I haven’t had a bad break-up in the post-Facebook world so this was never an issue for me.   I met my wife in 2005, right around the time that Facebook began to take off.   Obviously I haven’t been dumped since then.</p>
<p>However, when I went through a tough break-up, instant messenger was the big thing.  I remember stalking an ex-girlfriend’s away messages to see what she was up to.  Inevitably, I’d see some message about her going out to a club or a bar.  For the rest of the night, I couldn’t shake the image in my head of some dude’s junk rubbing up against her, as he grinds against her on the dance floor.  This would just get me more upset.  The same holds true for Facebook.  You may not like what you read on her status update, so its best to just hide her from your news feed.  Ignorance is bliss sometimes.</p>
<p><strong>#3. DON’T HOLD OUT HOPE THAT YOU’LL GET BACK TOGETHER</strong></p>
<p>Hope is a great thing in most cases but when it comes to a break-up it can make things more painful.   Perhaps your ex-girlfriend told you that she needed some space and mentioned that there is a chance you two can give it a shot again some time in the future.  This probably happens a lot.  I’ve had this said to me multiple times after being dumped and I never got back together with any of them.  I have also used this line when roles were reversed, even though I knew I’d never get back with the girl.   I guess it just helps to soften the blow a little bit.</p>
<p>If she told you something similar during your break-up, just pretend like she never said it.  If she comes crawling back to you in the future and getting your ex back is something you want to do, then great.  But if she doesn’t, at least you’ll have mentally prepared yourself better to be without her.</p>
<p><strong>#4 THIS ISN’T THE MOVIES. DESPERATE ATTEMPTS TO GET HER BACK WILL RE-OPEN THE WOUND</strong></p>
<p>After a really tough break-up, there is a chance you may be in desperation mode.   You may be tempted to make a desperate attempt to win back her affection.   Doing something like writing her a poem or singing a love song outside her apartment window in the rain may work in the movies but in real life this will make you look pathetic.</p>
<p>The only situation where something like this would work is if you broke up because you screwed up.  If you cheated on her or said or did something you shouldn’t have, something like this may actually work.  In fact, in that situation, I’d probably encourage you take some action.  Doing something like this could show the girl you are serious about the relationship and want to atone for your mistakes.</p>
<p>However, if you broke up because she claimed she needed space, she told you she wanted to find herself, or she gave you the bogus “it’s not you, it’s me” excuse, then this will not help at all.</p>
<p>When your attempt fails miserably, it will “reset the clock.”  Any break-up takes time to get over and if you try something like this and fail, it will be like getting dumped all over again.   Your ego will take another hit and you’ll dive deeper into depression.</p>
<p><strong>#5 AVOID GETTING DRUNK FOR A WHILE</strong></p>
<p>After getting your heart ripped out, it’s easy to turn to alcohol to help relieve the pain your feeling.  But this is a VERY bad idea.  If you get drunk following a break-up, you are nearly guaranteed to drunk-dial your ex.</p>
<p>As many of us know, drunk-dialing rarely ends well.  A friend of mine, who frequents the comment section of Living with Balls, once drunk dialed his ex-girlfriend shortly after getting dumped.  He desperately wanted to get back with her at the time, but after a long night of drinking he decided to call her repeatedly.  After she ignored his continuous phone calls, he decided to let out his frustration on her voicemail, calling her every derogatory remark for a female you could think of.  Needless to say, he never got back with her.</p>
<p>In addition, drinking may make you feel better for a little while but when you sober up, you’ll be left in the same crappy situation, except with a hangover on top of it.</p>
<p><strong>#6 IF YOU HAVE MUTUAL FRIENDS, DON’T HANG OUT WITH THEM FOR A WHILE</strong></p>
<p>When two people have been dating for a long time, it’s likely they end up becoming close with each other’s friends.  Sometimes those two groups can even merge to create a bigger group of friends.  This is a great thing while your together, but if you break-up it can create an additional set of problems.</p>
<p>If this is the case, you are stuck with the shitty scenario of being forced to choose between hanging out with your friends and risk running into your ex or staying home and masturbating before crying yourself to sleep.   Both scenarios suck but you’re better off staying home and rubbing one out.</p>
<p>This situation sucks for everyone involved.  You shouldn’t have to lose friends over a break-up but unfortunately that is sometimes the case.  You don’t want to run into you ex at the time you are most vulnerable.  This will just make things harder for the both of you and will probably create plenty of drama.  My best suggestion is to just stay away for a little while until things blow over.  It’s possible you can eventually still all hang out together, but you need to let things cool down for a little while first.</p>
<p><strong>#7 [INSERT CHEESY PLATITUDE PEOPLE SAY ABOUT GETTING DUMPED TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER]</strong></p>
<p>You know that stupid saying that goes &#8220;if you love something let it go, if it comes back it was meant to be?&#8221; That is a tired cliché but there actually is an element of truth to it.</p>
<p>If this girl truly loves you, eventually she will realize she has made a mistake.  But she’ll never realize this if she thinks she can get you back at anytime.  If this girl thinks you have moved on and there is a chance she may lose you forever, then she may start to rethink her actions.   It’s human nature to want something we can’t have.   And if she doesn’t ever come back to you, then at least you’ll have gotten over her quicker and you can move on to another girl.</p>

Often times, in commercials, men are the butt of the jokes.  I’ve seen so many commercials lately that feature a man doing something dumb and then getting in trouble with his wife.   This is troubling to men such as myself, as it may show a dramatic shift in the balance of power in relationships.  </p>
<p>I’m going to show you two commercials that will further explain what I mean.  I will spend way too much time breaking down these 30 seconds TV spots than I should.  But they all lead me to my point at the end.  So bear with me…<span id="more-5388"></span></p>
<p><iframe width="480" height="274" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fl86lqm-CaM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In this commercial, some guy and his wife are having a nice breakfast at McDonald’s when the woman decides she’s gonna start trouble.  She tells her man that her sister&#8217;s boyfriend does nothing but watch football on Sunday and then looks to her man for a comment as way to test him.  If he says the wrong answer, he’s dead.  </p>
<p>First off, this is a bullshit tactic.  Why start trouble?  Their relationship has nothing to do with yours, so why even test him?  You seem to be enjoying a nice breakfast together.  Is it really worth bringing this up? Maybe she’s just pissed that he took her to McDonald’s instead of some place nice. </p>
<p>After she seeks her husband’s opinion on the matter, the guy begins to freak out. Sunday’s are absolutely for watching football but he’s too much of a pussy to be honest.  So he desperately tries to come up with an answer that won’t result in him getting kicked out of the house tonight.  So what does he do? He makes up a lie and sells out a fellow bro in the process by calling him a jerk.   </p>
<p>It’s obvious that the woman does indeed “wear the pants” in this relationship.  This guy loves football and <a href="http://www.sportsinteraction.com/football/nfl-betting-lines/" target="_blank">NFL betting</a>, like any other man, but because he’s too big of a vag to stand up for himself, he’s now going to spend every Sunday shopping at Whole Foods and watching Desperate Housewives with her.  </p>
<p>But to him, lying is better than the alternative, which is having sex and dinner withheld and being kicked out of the house (Though there’s a good chance when he makes his move in bed tonight, his wife will claim she’s too tired anyway).   </p>
<p>His problem is that he let things snowball until it got to this point.  This woman clearly runs the show.  This man is TERRIFIED of his own woman.  He lives in fear of saying or doing the wrong thing to the girl he chose to spend the rest of his life with.  It’s pathetic. Somehow, over the course of the relationship, his nuts have gradually ascended inside his body and he has lost what little hand he had in the relationship to start with.  </p>
<p><iframe width="480" height="274" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lwtz2Au6BGQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In this commercial, our protagonist Steve is excited to tell his wife that he just got the family unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes on their cell phone plan.  Before he can even explain himself, his wife chimes in out of turn, complains about him spending more money and then mutters that she should have married some other guy. </p>
<p>First off, can you imagine a guy saying something like this to his wife?  We would get smacked so hard.  If I told my wife that I wish I married someone else, it would be a minimum of a week before she would even acknowledge my existence.  Yet somehow a woman can get away with this? </p>
<p>Secondly, she’s complaining about spending too much money as she waters a room full of plants in her fancy greenhouse.  Anyone else see the irony here?  This dude is just trying to get a better cell phone plan, and she’s bitching about money, while she throws away cash on an expensive greenhouse that provide zero value to the family.  Steve is working his ass off, trying to provide for his family, even though she probably wasted lots of money by taking out a home equity loan to “pursue her passion.”  This man’s first mistake was not shooting down that idea in the first place.  </p>
<p>At least this dude has some semblance of sack.  You can see the look on his face.  He desperately wants to call her a stupid cunt after she makes that comment but he holds back and just reveals that it didn’t cost any extra money, thus showing that he was right, leaving his “better-half” speechless.  The man, for now, can enjoy a small victory in the battle for the upper hand.  Unfortunately for him, it’s a battle he will ultimately lose. </p>
<p>Despite his victory here, it’s pretty obvious that the wife controls the relationship.   The fact that she has the hubris to even make that comment proves that is the case.   </p>
<p>This man also hates his wife.  He used to love her and would do anything to get things back the way they were.  He thinks telling his wife that he got free mobile-to-mobile minutes would—at least for a brief moment— bring the smile he once fell for back in college.  But quickly, that hope is dashed, as he once again is reminded that his wife has become some person he tolerates living with and not the woman he couldn’t be with out.</p>
<p>And yes, I got all that from a 30 second spot about a wireless calling plan.  </p>
<p>So what do these commercials say about men?  Have men lost control of the household?  Do women “wear the pants” now? It seems like we are no longer masters of our domain.  </p>
<p>Back in the day, men were the rulers of the castle, if only because women were dependent on men for survival.  A man was often the sole breadwinner in the family and therefore provided his wife with a lifestyle she could not achieve on her own.  Women had to put up with men out of necessity, which as a result gave men the upper hand in relationships.  </p>
<p>But things have shifted dramatically now.  Women are no longer dependent on men for survival.  They are independent and sometimes are making more money then their significant others.  They no longer need to put up with us.  They also have <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/king-kong-aint-got-shit-on-vagina/">the power to withhold sex from us</a> (which men can’t pull off), and that gives them the edge. </p>
<p>Ideally, this isn’t how it should be.  Marriages are certainly challenging, but it should be an equal partnership.   We should be honest with each other and not fear that the wrong answer will put us in the doghouse.   But if one of us has to have an upper hand, I’d prefer it to be men.  </p>
<p>Perhaps this is just the way we are portrayed and these types of moments are not the norm in real society. I don’t really have a definitive answer.  I could probably do a dissertation on this if I wanted to.  I don’t really feel like doing all that work so I thought I’d pose these questions to the readers instead.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/bra-style-Sport-Bra.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/bra-style-Sport-Bra.jpg" alt="" title="hot-girl-working-out" width="250" height="251" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4937" /></a>When you first met your girl she had an amazing body.  She was thin, shapely and irresistible.  Just the thought of her naked made your dick go from six-to-twelve.  You knew she was a keeper so you gave up on the single life and decided to lock her up long term.   </p>
<p>But now after dating her for a long time she’s begun to grow comfortable with you…a little <em>too</em> comfortable.  She no longer feels the need to look good because she thinks you love her unconditionally and that it doesn’t matter what she looks like.  The <a href="http://www.gsprushfit.com" target="_blank">MMA Workout Program</a> DVD you bought, in hopes of getting her to use it, is collecting dust and she spends most nights sitting like a lump on the couch, sucking down Haagen-Dazs and watching reality television.  This has caught up to her over time and that once sexy body of hers has now become a shell of its former self, equipped with a muffin top, sloppy breasts and cottage cheese ass.  Now the thought of her naked makes your dick shrivel like a frightened turtle. </p>
<p>What is a man to do?</p>
<p>We all know that no matter how much you like a girl’s personality, there still has to be some level of physical attraction.  You could go the easy route and just dump her, but if you do kind of like this girl or if breaking up isn’t a viable option (i.e. you’re already married or have kids) and want to give it a chance to work, there are a few things you can do to get her back in shape. </p>
<p>We also know that you have to be very careful when addressing the subject of weight gain with your woman.  You can’t just tell her straight out she is a fatty. You have to tread the subject carefully.  </p>
<p>In this article, I have outlined a number of ways to get your girl back in shape without ever having to be brutally honest like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNVcbZJsUrE" target="_blank">Abe Lincoln in that GEICO commercial. </a> </p>
<p>Unfortunately if you are serious about getting your girl to lose weight, it’s going to involve some sacrifices.  Many of the items on this list will take some hard work and dedication on your part, but if executed properly,  you will both benefit from it.<br />
<span id="more-4936"></span><br />
<a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/burgerDM2811_468x378.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/burgerDM2811_468x378-300x242.jpg" alt="" title="burgerDM2811_468x378" width="300" height="242" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4941" /></a><br />
<strong>#1 Eat Better in Front of Her</strong><br />
If your girl sees you eating better, there’s a good chance she will follow suit.  Think about all the couples you know.  Don’t their body types always seem to be proportionate? How often do you see a really skinny man married to a large woman?  Typically if one person is thin, the other is as well. If one person is fat, then the significant other is likely to be packing on the pounds.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20070725/is-obesity-contagious" target="_blank">A recent study confirms that the eating habits of people around you can influence your own eating habits</a>.   If your woman sees you eating better, there’s a good chance she will think twice before reaching for another handful of potato chips. </p>
<p>Feel free to eat what you want when she’s not around but when you are eating meals together, try and eat something healthy.  If you are living together don’t buy junk food.  If you don’t live together, hide the junk food when she comes over.  She can’t be tempted to eat food that isn’t there. </p>
<p>You may also want to cut down on the number of times you go out to eat together.  Aside from the benefit of saving money by eating meals prepared at home, you can also benefit from a lower intake of calories.  <a href="http://www.ers.usda.gov/AmberWaves/June10/Findings/EatingOut.htm" target="_blank">A study by the Economic Research Service</a> has shown that each additional meal or snack eaten away from home adds an average of 134 calories that day, compared to the same meals or snacks prepared at home.  The study also goes on to say that one additional meal away from home each week translated to roughly two extra pounds each year!  </p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/push-ups-e1306814495764.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/push-ups-e1306815192288.jpg" alt="" title="sexy-girl-exercise" width="400" height="265" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4942" /></a><br />
<strong>#2 Exercise with Her</strong><br />
More hard work on your part, but the same rule applies here.  If she sees you constantly going to the gym or going for a run, she is more likely to get her dumpy ass of the couch, turn off whatever Kardashian-themed reality show she is watching and exercise. </p>
<p>I know my wife and I tend to influence each other’s exercise habits.  We try to run together at least a few times a week now that the weather is nice.  But if one of us gives in and decides to skip the run after work, the other one usually follows.  </p>
<p>If your heffer of a girlfriend/ wife still won’t budge off the couch, even though you’ve been making her well aware of your exercise habits, there is another subtle approach you can take.   Ask her if she’d like to work out with you.  Don’t tell her it’s because she is starting to resemble Kirstie Alley but explain to her that it can be a bonding experience.  Exercise is an activity that you can do together which will bring you closer.   Girls eat that type of stuff up.  </p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/german-words-new-beer-girl-duden-1-e1306815043148.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/german-words-new-beer-girl-duden-1-e1306815043148.jpg" alt="" title="german-girls-drinking-beer" width="365" height="263" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4943" /></a><br />
<strong>#3 Teach her how to Drink Efficiently</strong><br />
Perhaps the reason your girl is packing on the pounds is because of her love of cocktails.   Maybe she frequents happy hour or binge drinks often on the weekend.  Alcohol is often a main culprit in weight gain.  Aside from trying to get her to cut down on the booze, you can refer her to the <a href="http://www.efficientdrinker.com/" target="_blank">Efficient Drinker</a>, a web site that calculates which drinks can get a person drunk with the fewest number of calories.  </p>
<p>For example, maybe your girl is a fan of cranberry vodkas.  Well did you know that an 8 oz. drink of cranberry juice and vodka is 227 calories!??  If she has a handful of those in a night, you are looking at over 1,000 calories for the day just in drinks!</p>
<p>Tell her how you stumbled across this web site one day and mention how her favorite drink is very high in calories.  Perhaps you should even exaggerate the facts to really get the full effect…Maybe mention how a couple of your favorite drinks stack up as first, so she doesn’t think you are singling her out.  Perhaps next time she is at the bar, she will think twice before ordering.    </p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/carinashley.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/carinashley.jpg" alt="" title="carinashley" width="320" height="213" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4948" /></a><br />
<strong>#4 Plan a Vacation to a Beach Location</strong><br />
If a girl knows she is going on a vacation where she will need to wear a bathing suit, she will definitely be motivated to shed a few pounds.  This method will cost you some money but at least you’ll receive multiple benefits:  (1) you’ll have an enjoyable vacation, (2) you will score some points with the woman and (3) hopefully she will drop a few pounds in the weeks leading up to the trip. </p>
<p>I recommend making it a winter getaway because that’s probably the time of year she will be carrying the most weight. </p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/girl-with-ring-and-text-e1306814743144.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/girl-with-ring-and-text-e1306815234811.jpg" alt="" title="sexy-girl-with-diamond-ring" width="400" height="266" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4945" /></a><br />
<strong>#5 If Not Already Married…Propose to Her!</strong><br />
You might say this solution goes against all logic.  Why propose to a girl who keeps getting fatter? Yes, this is a very risky and expensive decision and the solution may only be temporary but I can promise you that a girl with a wedding looming is going to be motivated to lose weight—and A LOT of it.   A girl dreams about her wedding day since childhood and I guarantee she never pictured herself being fat.   Almost all women will do what they have to do to lose a few pounds before the big day.  If your girl still can’t get herself in shape by her wedding day then it doesn’t bode well for you. </p>
<p>Certainly don’t make this your main motivation for getting married, but perhaps this can help make your decision to pop the question a little easier knowing that you’ll get at least a few months of her old body back.  The hard part is getting her to keep it off once you get married.  If that turns out to be the case, I refer you to the suggestions outlined previously.  </p>
<p>Best of luck in your quest to get your girl sexy again.   If you execute these suggestions properly, you will both feel better about yourselves and you should be able to revitalize your dormant sex life. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/scale.png"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/scale.png" alt="" title="Hotness-scale" width="490" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4845" /></a><br/>Since the beginning of time, men have used the hotness scale to rate how attractive a woman is when debating amongst friends.   Using the standard 1- 10 ranking (with one being the ugliest woman imaginable and ten being a perfect woman), men have found an efficient way to judge women in the shallowest way possible.  </p>
<p>However, over the years, the Hotness Scale has gotten too lenient.  This is probably because each level has never been truly defined. We need to make a clear-cut definition of what each number means so that we can accurately judge women solely on their looks, while completely ignoring their personality. </p>
<p>The majority of men will brag they’ve been fortunate enough to get with at least one nine or ten in their lifetime but that is highly unlikely.  Most women we meet and hook-up with will fall somewhere in the 4-6 range.   </p>
<p>I’ve been with some fairly attractive women in my day but I doubt any of them can be considered higher than a seven.  Even <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/tag/mrs-sacks/">my wife</a> probably falls within the 6-7 range.  Knowing her, she would probably take offense that I <em>only</em> consider her a seven on a good day but as you’ll see with my rankings, seven is very good. </p>
<p>Here are the rankings defined&#8230;<span id="more-4811"></span></p>
<p><strong><BIG>THE GAG REFLEX</BIG></strong></p>
<p><strong>One and Two</strong><br />
Absolutely grotesque.  FUGLY—as in FUCKING UGLY.  Women who fall in this range probably weigh 300 pounds or more or have some major disfigurement.  Women at this level are hard to look at, let alone get physical with.  </p>
<p><strong><BIG>THE ALCOHOL-AIDED STAGE</BIG></strong></p>
<p><strong>Three</strong><br />
Pretty gross.  Really no attractive feature whatsoever. It takes a number of alcoholic beverages and a long dry spell for a man to stoop to this level.  I stooped to level three once and it’s something I am not proud of.   We all have bad days though.  The criteria mentioned in the previous sentence were present so I try not to beat myself up about it too much.  </p>
<p><strong>Four</strong><br />
There isn’t much to be attracted to here but a man can be often be skewed to hook up with a four if he has had a few drinks or comes to the realization that he can’t do much better.   A guy may hook up with a girl at this level but he won’t be bragging about it to his friends.  A four could win the Nobel Prize, reveal that she was the Navy Seal who killed Osama bin Laden or find a cure for a cancer and a man still wouldn’t want to bring her out to meet his friends.  </p>
<p>A four may be have one good feature that will convince a drunk or desperate man to overlook some other major flaws.  For example she may have an ugly face but have huge tits…or she could be fat but give amazing head.  </p>
<p><strong><BIG>JUST AVERAGE</BIG></strong></p>
<p><strong>Five</strong><br />
Your typical average-looking woman.  Nothing really jumps out at you but nothing really turns you off.   You won’t fantasize about being with a five but you’ll still be able to get your dick hard when fooling around with one. Typically this is the lowest a man will go on the hotness scale if he is of a straight mind.   </p>
<p><strong><BIG>A GOOD CATCH</BIG><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Six </strong><br />
A six is a better than average looking woman.  She’ll often have one or two really attractive features that can mask some minor flaws.  She may also be solid in every aspect but not really great in any, sort of like a super utility infielder in baseball.  Most men would be happy to have a six.   At this level, a man will be proud to bring a girl around to show off to his friends.  </p>
<p><strong>Seven</strong><br />
A seven is pretty hot.  She typically has multiple attractive qualities with a few minor flaws.  If you’re at a busy club or bar you’ll probably see a few sevens on a given night.  A seven probably looks amazing when you see her out in person but if she were on television you probably wouldn’t even notice her.  Most men will not get much higher than a seven in their lifetime.     </p>
<p><strong><BIG>THE ELITE</BIG></strong></p>
<p><strong>Eight</strong><br />
An eight would probably be one of the hottest women you’ve ever met in person.  An eight could have several very attractive features or could be solid in most aspects but have one feature that is so ridiculous that a guy will obsess over it (see <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/tag/gianna-michaels/">Gianna Michaels</a> pic above).  A good example would be the sexiest girl in your high school class or maybe the girl at the club that every guy is hounding on the dance floor.  There are probably a few eights in every town but not many more than that.  At this level and higher, a guy is willing to put up with a lot more shit than he normally would.  An eight could be a total cunt and a guy will deal with her (at least for a little while) because he is blinded by her beauty and bangin’ body. </p>
<p><strong>Nine</strong><br />
A nine is a girl who is drop-dead gorgeous and is typically reserved for someone who is a super-model, actress or porn star.  A nine is the total package (looks, ass, tits, shape).  You won’t come across a nine in your everyday life very often.  It takes a high level of maintenance (e.g. exercise, make-up, or even surgery to make a woman a nine).  This is why it&#8217;s typically celebrities who are nines because they have the resources (e.g stylists, personal trainers, plastic surgeons) to keep themselves looking beautiful every time they step outside the house.  You will probably never sniff a nine in your lifetime unless you are rich, a professional athlete or a rock star.  </p>
<p><strong>Ten</strong><br />
Tens are almost non-existent.  It’s like trying to find a <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/get-your-million-dollar-engagement-ring-at-costco/">flawless diamond</a>.  It’s possible to find one but <em>extremely</em> rare.   Even the best diamonds in the world have slight flaws and this is the case with women as well.  Let’s take a look at some celebrities who are often considered ten on a loose scale but would fall just short on the much stricter Living with Balls scale.  </p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/kim-k-and-hump-8-595x749.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/kim-k-and-hump-8-595x749-238x300.jpg" alt="" title="kim-k-and-hump-8-595x749" width="238" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4829" /></a><strong>Kim Kardashian:</strong> the greatest ass I have ever seen but probably wouldn’t be as pretty if she didn’t have someone doing her makeup every day.</p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/megan-fox.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/megan-fox-199x300.jpg" alt="" title="megan-fox" width="199" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4832" /></a><strong>Megan Fox:</strong> Beautiful face, deep blue eyes and great figure but too many tattoos make her look trashy.</p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Halle_Berry.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Halle_Berry-225x300.jpg" alt="" title="Halle_Berry" width="225" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4833" /></a><strong>Halle Berry:</strong> Hard to really find many flaws here but if I had to nitpick I’d say I’m not crazy about short hair and her nips are kind of small (see <em>Monster’s Ball</em> or <em>Swordfish</em>).</p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Olivia-Wilde-Regis.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Olivia-Wilde-Regis-294x300.jpg" alt="" title="Olivia-Wilde" width="294" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4834" /></a><strong>Olivia Wilde:</strong> Absolutely stunning but to be considered a ten she would need to have a bigger rack.</p>
<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/penelope-cruz.jpg"><img src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/penelope-cruz.jpg" alt="" title="penelope-cruz" width="200" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3255" /></a><strong>Penelope Cruz: </strong>Beautiful, sexy accent and in great shape but a weird nose.</p>
<p>Again, all these women are knockouts and I’m nitpicking a lot here but it is necessary to show you that tens are almost impossible to find.  </p>
<p>So the next time your friend comes to you and claims to have slept with a “ten,” refer him to this article and then call bullshit.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/diamond-ring.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4610" title="diamond-ring" src="http://livingwithballs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/diamond-ring.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></a>Let’s imagine for a second you are fortunate enough to be a multi-millionaire…and let’s say you are also fortunate to meet the love of your life and that you want to marry her.  After much deliberation you’ve determined the budget for your <a href="http://livingwithballs.com/engagement-ring-buying-guide/">engagement ring</a> will be $1 million.</p>
<p>Now the question is: Where would you go to buy the ring?  Maybe you’d shop at Tiffany’s or Cartier or some other top-of-the-line jeweler.</p>
<p>But how about Costco?  I bet the thought of buying an engagement ring at Costco, let alone an insanely expensive ring, has never crossed anyone’s mind.</p>
<p>But here it is.  Right on the web site: <a href="http://www.costco.com/Browse/ProductSet.aspx?whse=BC&amp;topnav=&amp;prodid=11628794&amp;ec=BC-EC877-CatHome&amp;pos=3&amp;lang=en-US" target="_blank">A $1 MILLION DOLLAR ENGAGEMENT RING</a>…  AT FRIGGIN&#8217; COSTCO!</p>
<p>Based on the specifications this might just be one of the best rings in the world.  It is 6.77 carats, is colorless and boasts a clarity rating of IF (internally flawless).  Not only that but the ring is valued at $1.5 million dollars.  Act now and you can save 33% off the retail price!  You can’t beat these deals at Costco!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Costco only has one in stock but if you are thinking about buying it, I wouldn’t worry about someone else beating you too it.  I can’t imagine a rich entrepreneur or celebrity, or anyone for that matter ever going engagement ring shopping at Costco.</p>
<p>Costco probably has held this ring in its possession for years and is desperate to move it, so they knocked $500,000 off the price.  I bet it’s been sitting in a warehouse for years somewhere behind skids of family packs of toilet paper.</p>
