It has long been said that men are some of the easiest creatures on the planet to satisfy. Food, sports and sex – the hetero man’s three life principles, right? Well, if it were true for all men, every single woman out there would be able to find a guy.

In fact, what men want is usually the exact opposite of the stereotypes given to them. The old Greek woman summed it up rather well with their saying, paraphrased, “Men want a lamb in their kitchen but a lion in their bedrooms.”

It’s certainly not complicated, but it does take some effort on a woman’s part to know what men want out of a relationship and out of a prospective partner.

For starters, men initially work on sight and pure animal attraction. As a woman, you should work to show off your best features in a way that is appealing to a man. You don’t necessarily have be stripperish about it but, like the saying goes, accentuate the positive.

Use your nature-given gifts to entice a man’s attentions. From there, you have a solid platform to work from in order to keep those attentions.

Becoming relationship material instead of arm candy is another topic unto itself. Men are territorial by nature, and this comes across as uberjealous at times. But it’s not that – it’s just that men want to know they’re important to you and that you’re not planning on giving up the goods elsewhere.

Work on keeping his attention positive by making sure you spend the necessary time letting him know how much you care. You’ll certainly be his queen if you show him that he’s your only king.

There’s also the subject of being interesting to him. Women perceived to be floosies and dullards, while they might score a lot of men, are certainly not respected and not the types of girls they’re bringing home to meet their mothers. Women who carry themselves well, exude confidence and are goal-oriented can really stimulate a man intellectually and attract him to much more than your body.

At the end of the day, men what out of a relationship what most everyone wants – love, stability and a sense of security. All other factors are just a lead-up until that time arrives when hearts merge and a true relationship is formed.

The most important thing a woman can do to land a good relationship with a man is to truly want the man more than the relationship. Nature will handle the rest.

The government provides a few monetary solutions to military men and women, including a decent salary, healthcare and education options. However, that same government has also attempted to close the door to military personnel via payday loans.

A payday loan is a short-term loan offered to anyone meeting slim criteria, which could be a car title or simply having a job. These loans are for relatively low amounts, usually $100 on the low end and $1,000 on the high end. And due to the risk assumed by the lender, the interest is rather high and the repayment amount is usually steeper than long-term loans to scale.

These loans help out people from all walks of life when they’re in a pinch and need emergency funding. Due to the FY 2007 Military Authorization Act, though, members of the military are ineligible to receive military payday loans.

Technically, lenders are forbidden to grant loans to military members that require car titles as collateral, charge 36% interest or higher, or have any sort of service charges, renewal charges or other associated fees.

However, some payday lenders have worked to set up sites specifically for men and women of the military. Knowing that military members are certainly deserving of financial relief, lenders have tweaked their specifications to skirt the shackles of the 2007 Act.

Loans taken from these specific lenders will have lower interest rates, will not require a car title and will not impose renewal fees or other such charges. Any military member over 18 and with a checking account can receive a military payday loan.

We all hope these brave men and women never fall into financial worry, but it’s good to know that some lenders out there are showing more heart than business savvy when dealing with members of the military.

Clyde Drexler recently rattled off the line, “it’s like clubbing baby seals,” in describing Andres Nocioni trying to guard Yao Ming. Here are  few one-liners that could have been worse, if used in the same situation.

1. Andres Nocioni is to white blood cells as Yao Ming is to AIDS.

2. Nocioni’s getting beat down worse than Brett Myers’ wife.

3. Yao Ming’s dropping loads all over Andres Nocioni.
