Sex is an important element of an adult relationship, but who says you literally have to die for it? Protect yourself and your partner by going over each other's sexual history. This does not one fun conversation make, but it's unavoidable. Here are three basic ways to go about it:

1. Talk about it forthrightly. Do not discuss collectible mantel clocks with her, only to sneak in "Have you had yourself tested for STDs?" in the middle of the conversation. Leave the discussion of unique wall clocks to salesmen and grandmothers. Rather, ask her what kind of protection she is using or would prefer. This approach could swing two ways: she could take your lead and discuss contraception objectively, or she might be offended. If it's the latter, look her in the eye and tell her as gravely as you can, "I don't want to be irresponsible about this." This tells her you're careful about who you sleep with, and won't jump into bed with just about anyone.

2. Hand her your most recent screening result. An urbane chick would take this in stride, laugh over the fact that you came "prepared," and perhaps even whip out her own record. Other girls might not react so favorably, however, so be prepared to summon with your most somber game face and say, "I care about you. I made sure I'm clean."

3. If you're with a small-town girl, or a Southern belle, or an Asian fresh out of a connecting plane, you just might have to talk about world time clocks first. Odds are, she would cringe at frank discussions of her sexual history. In fact, she might even throw shoes at you for daring to think she's been with so many men she could be carrying something. What to do in this case? Draw her out with questions about past loves.

A woman's dating patterns could be a good barometer of her sexual history. Ask her how long her past relationships lasted, how these ended, and whether or not she has cheated or had been cheated on. If your partner jumped from one relationship to another - five, in fact - in a span of two years, you could pretty much leap to conclusions, though. Just because your Vietnamese cutie has had only one relationship her whole life does not mean she doesn't carry anything. After all, all it takes is one time for an infection to be transmitted. Then too, she might have been faithful, but was he?

Remember, nobody and no body is ever worth dying for. O might be way ahead of S in the alphabet, but when it comes to relationships, safety - not earth-shaking orgasm - should come first.

Here's the lowdown on men and dates. All men hate being stuck with a bad date. Not every one, however, knows how to wriggle their way out of a bad date; and there are fewer still who can actually identify a bad date a mile and a phone call away. How do you become one of the lucky ones who can zero in on a bad date if not at hello, then at least before it's time to ask for the bill? By observing the woman you are dating, of course!

Here are the red flags to look for to dodge bad dates in the future.

1. She is wearing pink flannel sweats. This is inexcusable, even if she just left the gym. Nothing screams low self-esteem like pink sweat pants.

2. She is wearing a tutu. Unless she teaches ballet or is playing drag, no woman should ever prance about wearing a tutu.

3. She donned a pair of fuzzy slippers. Beware. This could only mean one of two things: she is trying very hard to appear cute, or she is such a slob she can't be bothered to slip into more appropriate footwear.

4. She sports more than one pair of earrings and a red mullet. Nothing, absolutely nothing, good could come out of this.

5. She casually lets it drop that she's smuggling crack inside the leather wine carrier she has with her.

6. She is larger than you are — physically. As a matter of, her Adam's apple dwarf yours.

7. She answers your questions with questions. You: Do you smoke? Her: What's it to you? You: What are all those cigarette cases in the backseat for, then? Her: You really want to know?

8. She ends every conversation with a staring contest. Oh, and she also has the word "die" tattooed on the knuckles of both hands.

9. The only time she can stop smoking is when she flicks her Zippo open. She's either terribly addicted to nicotine, or is planning something so heinous it makes her so nervous she cannot stop smoking.

10. She seethes each time you say "I" or "me." She tries to hide this by clenching her hands, gritting her teeth, or smiling extra brightly.

If you said yes to at least one question, it's time to head for the hills. As far as dates go, you are staring at the baddest of 'em all.

The Big City Life Underground

Emancipation from the backwoods and a "segue" into the bright lights of New York's nightscape can be an thrilling experience for young men and women searching fortune first, and fame second. They adopt all sorts of quirks, habits of dress, and tote many a liquor flask to be "osmosized" into the mainstream of Manhattan. Sex becomes an adventure, and the city's attraction is forgotten. Is this your scene?

If you've been observant, you have learned by now that people traipsing around NY work their butts off, or walk the grounds of colleges and universities, discovering that sex is a delightful distraction. This is no sweeping statement, but this is common. Sex becomes the aphrodisiac that fires one's ambitions and fortunes. It provides the high that perks up an over-scheduled, over-schooled, and overworked life.

Interestingly, boys know where the girls are, and vice versa. The girls may be virginal maidens sans the kohl-lined eyes, or women in their 30s and 40s, hoping to be plucked from imminent old-maidenhood. The men could be from powerhouse executives wearing pricey scents and showing-off engraved Zippo lighters and flashy suits and cars, while bucolic young men revamp their fashion style to be noticed - all in the quest for love and sex.

Sex or the City?

If you dismiss the sights of New York for the chatter in darkened bars and discos to find a playmate, you're sex-hooked. Confess that it's sex and not the city that matters. Can the city warm your bed? No. It's a warm body you need after a long day when you're forlorn and so far from home. No amount of watching the Sex and the City series can ease your wretched loneliness; the series can spark your plug, but that's about it.

Well the city is just the stage for the stirrings of the first blush of love, flings, trysts, split-ups, extra-marital affairs, sexual trade-offs, and much more. Sex rules - you can smell it, hear it and feel it. It's palpable and drives people nuts, yet offers comfort to those who have hooked up with steady partners who are ready to give a lifetime of marital partnership.

You guessed it right, but being bethroted and shopping for cool groomsmen gifts are out of the question when you're hurrying and scurrying to stay alive in busy Manhattan. Love has to take a backseat for a long time because of nagging self doubts.

If sex, not the city, is your dig, you're allowed your reasons. But one thing is sure, though - you'll love both both to the maximum if you have the time.

So, you’ve been in your relationship for a few years, and all of a sudden you begin to notice that the attraction seems to be gone. Your man expresses little interest in you physically, and even though nothing is wrong, you are wondering if everything is okay. If this sounds familiar, it may be that your relationship is going stale from lack of effort. That’s right, it takes WORK to make attraction last!

Most relationships don’t last because couples don’t know how to keep things alive and invigorating , and they don’t realize what is happening until it is too late. Most relationship advice or marriage advice focuses on tangible problems – cheating, arguing, sex, etc. The thing is, the attraction between spouses is the foundation stone of the relationship. Many of the problems that a marriage or relationship has CAN be fixed by learning how to fix the fading attraction. One expert in the field of relationship advice , Dating and Relationship Coach Rori Raye , has some great advice about keeping that spark alive.

First of all, attraction is not all about sex, so stop worrying about that part. When other factors fall into place in your relationship, your sex life will be healthy and natural. You spend a lot more time out of bed than in it, so you need to focus on that time first and foremost. Now, have you slipped into a routine that is predictable and boring? This is normal in a long term relationship, but it doesn’t have to make your relationship boring and predictable. One thing that helps alleviate the boredom you both may be feeling is trying new things together.

Another great piece of marriage advice is to take a class together (or even simply taking on a project together, like creating a garden, remodeling your basement together, etc). That is a great way to grow closer as a couple and explore your common interests. If you both like to read, you can even start a book discussion club, or start writing movie reviews together for your local paper. Whether you find a shared interest in music, gardening, or NASCAR, by committing to learning something new together you can reconnect and communicate.

Getting physically active together is another wonderful way to reconnect your relationship. It gets your heart pumping, reduces stress, and will make you feel good about yourself and your body. It will also give you both more energy, which will promote a good sex life. By supporting each other through the challenge of physical exertion, you will build mutual respect for each other while you build your confidence. Take walks together, go swimming, play racquetball at the local club – anything you can BOTH do that you will both think is fun and healthy will help.

Body language and non-verbal communication are actually more important (as about 90% of our communication comes directly from body language and non verbal cueing) than verbal communication. I know, that is kind of shocking, huh? You will be surprised by how much increased touching will raise your levels of attraction to one another. Casual and unexpected hugs, kisses and caresses during non-sexual moments around the house is a great way to communicate to him that you are still attracted to him.

Don’t be afraid to shake things up in the bedroom a little, too. Plan a sexy encounter by leaving a trail of rose petals from the front door to the bedroom. Buy some lingerie or body rub, give him a sexy massage. Create a dinner menu of aphrodisiac foods, and then feed them to him. Not only does this excite him, but it makes him want to rise to the challenge and surprise you, too. Just try it and see.

Rori Raye has some amazing tools and advice for your marriage and relationship. It is not too late; you are not too old, overweight, or pressed for time to bring back the attraction into your love life. Anyone can do this – remember always that YOUR marriage or relationship is YOURS – he loves you for YOUR unique qualities that no other woman has, and you can bring back the attraction by following some simple, easy to do steps that he will thank you for later!

Most ladies have had to wonder at some point in their relationship WHY your man was hot one day and then cold to you the next day? You have to wonder, was it something you said, or something you did to make him angry or to hurt him? Maybe you are wondering if he is cheating on you or losing his interest in you. Maybe you feel like he no longer finds you attractive - and THAT totally stinks .

Many times, when a dude begins acting uninterested or distant like this, it’s for one of two reasons. Reason one, he actually does not want a relationship. Number two – his attraction to you is beginning to dwindle – or it could even be gone completely.

This spells disaster for a relationship. Attraction must be present to have a mature, healthy and lasting bond with your significant other. But if he is losing that feeling for you, a man is not going to TELL you. He will make excuses, instead, not to be around you as much. He’ll say he’s exhausted, he’s tied up, he’s thinking about work, whatever… but he won’t say “I am no longer attracted to you and I don’t know what to do.”

Christian Carter of Catch Him and Keep Him explains that attraction in a relationship is not just about sexual matters – it is actually the foundation stone upon which a relationship is built. When a woman is able to create attraction for her partner on an emotional level – in other words, making him feel deep in his heart that he wants you forever – he will be able to regain his attraction for you and heal your relationship.

This kind of Natural and Lasting Attraction can be sparked in your relationship no matter how long the feelings of distance have been going on. Here are a few easy to follow tips for creating that kind of intense attraction:

What you first need to do is – show him that you are anything but needy. This is critical, because to a man, women can seem needy even when we are not. You cannot treat your man like your friends – that emotional bond you have with her, that intimacy that grows between very close friends –can be the kiss of death to a man’s attraction to YOU if he is not ready for it. That kind of “best friend intimacy” – to a man will come MUCH later in a relationship.

You must remember that guys live in the now . You cannot ask him why he never called you yesterday, or if you are going to see each other this weekend without him thinking you are trying to be clingy or whiney. Focus on the present moment, the great time you are having right now. Instead, you need to create the situations, the moments, and the experiences that are sure to have him WANTING more from you. Then HE will be the one looking for MORE of YOU!

A second tip for bringing to life Natural and Lasting Attraction - try – daily – to not be the same as other women. Show him that the off-putting traits that some women have (some guys as well!) are not in your nature. You are not spiteful, unforgiving, suspicious, childish, frail or faint-hearted. Christian Carter also says not to be boring and predictable, do unexpected things and always march to your own drummer. If he is watching football – tell him you want to go read a book or something, and then go do it. He will respect your individuality.

In order to Catch Him and Keep Him - you also need to communicate to him a LOVE of life. Bring a unique and upbeat energy to the table (learn how in Christian Carter’s Natural and Lasting Attraction program) that will set you apart from other girls he has known or had relationships with.

Creating and maintaining Natural and Lasting Attraction is often counterintuitive, as it involves creating a space of individuality around yourself rather than completely melding with him. Most women instinctively try to be a PART of the man – which is good on some levels, but then, don’t you think that you often get tired of being with someone who agrees with everything you do? There are things you can learn today about creating and maintaining Natural and Lasting Attraction within your relationship will help your relationship with your boyfriend or husband to stay strong, fresh and loving. Check out the advice that Christian Carter has on Natural and Lasting Attraction - and your man will love you even more for it.

You never suspected it would happen to you. But now here you are today… faced with the most important decision of your life.

No matter what events led to the current state of your marriage, all that doesn't matter anymore. All that matters now is that you need to find a solution to your marriage problems. You desperately want to keep your family together, but the problem is - you want a proven marriage saving solution that works.

Most people think that when marriage takes a turn for the worst; the only solution is couples counseling.

But when you turn to marriage counseling, the focus is on behavior, action and doing. And in fact, it's very possible that you could DO all the tips and methodsoffered to you by your marriage counselor, yet still wind up unhappy and frustrated with each other.

Why?

Pastor and international marriage expert, Mark Gungor's has one of the best answers I've seen. He makes a wonderful point that we just don't hear enough.

Here's what he said:

"If your view of marriage is flawed, all the energy and strategy you are using (such as our marriage will be better if we just do this or change that) will end in failure…you must work on your marriage BECAUSE you believe it IS valuable, not because you are trying to make it valuable."

Did you know that most marriage counselors do not believe your marriage IS valuable? Many of them have already divorced, so why would they see your marriage as any more valuable than their own marriage?

They believe marriage is simply expendable and that the kids will be ok. They hold the belief that not all couples are meant to be together which is why they are so quick to give up on your marriage.

Now I know I'm making a generalization about ALL marriage counselors and I do realize that there are some "renegade" marriage counselors who do not follow these beliefs. But based on the countless "horror stories" from the couples I've worked with over the years, these type of counselors are few and far between.

What kind of "horror stories" you ask? Good question.

I know this may be difficult to believe, but many of the couples I've worked with over the years who have attended couples counseling shared with me that their marriage counselor actually advised them to DIVORCE!

These people attended marriage counseling because they wanted to save their marriage, not hear from an "expert" that their marriage is hopeless!

In fact, there have been statistics recently that stated 80% of marriages that end up in divorce could have been saved if the couple had only gotten the proper help they needed.

And as time goes on…while our divorce rate continues to remain at 50%, the truth about marriage counseling is increasingly gaining more exposure with new alternatives to marriage counseling popping up all over the net.

Now the REAL question you must ask yourself is this…

If you and your spouse don't believe your marriage IS valuable, and worth doing every possible thing you can do to make it healthy again (marriage counseling not in the list), then what hope can you have for your marriage?

The reason couples end up in the offices of marriage counselors is because they want somebody to help them do what they're not able to do… believe their marriage IS valuable.
Talk to virtually any couple who has been to a counselor and you'll find them in agreement.

But the sad truth is that most marriage counselors just don't believe marriage itself IS valuable.

What all this boils down to is this:What all this means is this:

Marriage Counselors need to take a good look at their massive failure rate and realize they're doing more harm than good.

Ultimately, the real reason for marriage counselors' failure to save marriages may have something to do with their initial schooling and education.

Most people don't know this, but marriage counseling as taught in universities isn't marriage counseling at all. It's therapy for individuals.

80% of all private practice marriage counselors in the U.S. say they conduct marriage therapy, yet only 12% are in a profession that requires them to take EVEN ONE course on dealing with couples, (Dr. William J. Doherty, Minneapolis MN)

As a result, they prefer to work with each person individually, instead of as a couple.

So my advice to you is this:

If you're considering seeing a couples counselor, take this as your alternate view. If your marriage problems persist, you're far better off with a couples retreat or a marriage coach than a marriage counselor.

In fact, do a quick search in Google for "alternative to marriage counseling". What you'll find is a variety of solutions that don't involve marriage counseling.

One of them is my own website that offers a solution called Marriage 101 which is a 100% positive marriage counseling alternative you can participate in from the privacy of your own home.

Very often, these alternatives are less expensive, less invasive and not even remotely emotionally draining – very much unlike what you might find in traditional marriage counseling.

The Magic Of Making Up Guide has certainly made an impact on the world of relationships and making up. This is remarkable simply because the book is an electronic product, about 62 pages in length and written by somebody totally unknown within the relationship field.

The fact it’s not an ongoing course or a leather bound book of hundreds and hundreds of pages gives it’s impact even more credence.

It does have images which might be important to some but the real point we’re trying to make is it doesn’t matter how impressive a product looks on the outside, it’s what’s inside that counts and T W Jackson knows his stuff.

Is It A Cheap Imitation?

The price may be a turn off for many simply because it appears low. And with some an emotional and important topic such as relationship break up a product with a higher price tag may gather more interest.

You know, people would have been justified in their thinking, especially since the price of the book indicated it could be just a cheap imitation of a much higher priced and more value packed product.

Well, if you judged The Magic Of Making Up by it's cover and dismissed it as just another relationship patch up book, then let's hope whatever help you pursued to get back with your ex worked.

Magic Of Making Up Has Helped Thousands

When T W Jackson released his pride and joy, the making up arena was turned on it's head. In a short time, The Magic Of Making Up has helped over 5000 people in 27 countries get another chance with the person who spurned them.

And the best part is, many will have learned from their initial mistakes and become better partners, husbands and wives because of it.

So if you thought the Magic Of Making Up Guide would just be a bunch of hot air without first reading and testing it then you would have been sent to "the sin bin."

One of the problems with spurned people trying to salvage their relationship following their "exit from the playing arena" is there lack of skill in handling the situation.

You know, that's totally understandable because in many cases, it's the first time they've really been in this situation. Too many people attempt getting their ex back in a clumsy fashion either ignoring the seriousness of the situation or totally flipping out by getting angry and argumentative, desperate and needy.

If you understand the process and emotions at play during a break up then you'll know how to behave.

But the problem with most is, they don't understand the process. People react on impulse and instinct and this is like throwing fuel gas on an open fire. This is where the Magic Of Making Up Guide shows you what to do and when to do it.

Have you ever tried to court a girl? Have you ever tried to win her approval and affection by saying sweet things to her all the time (eg. praising her beauty)? If so, then I bet it probably didn't turn out very well. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the girl eventually got immune to your 'nice guy' gestures and started avoiding your calls.

Have you ever wondered why? I mean, shouldn't being nice and sweet to a woman cause her to like you?

Well, first of all, everything we've ever learnt about romance is totally wrong. I'm not kidding. Ever since we were born, almost everything the media has fed us about attracting women is a lie. In the movies, the sweet sensitive guy who goes out of his way to please a woman always ends up with the girl, and they live happily ever after. In reality however, chicks seldom react positively to a guy who showers them with too much attention and compliments. The fact is, complimenting her too often will backfire and cause her to resent you, instead of liking you.

Let me explain why. Women, especially the hot ones, receive at least 20-30 compliments on a daily basis. (Compliments here refer not just to verbal utterances, but also to lingering glances, lusty stares, and other non-verbal cues that signify male interest) In other words, these chicks are so used to guys giving them compliments that they become rather immune to it. In fact, many of them start to get annoyed by men who constantly offer compliments to gain their approval. They perceive such men as weak and boring, who need to compensate for a lack of personality by complimenting excessively.

So, is there any way around this situation?

This may seem ridiculous, but believe it or not, insulting her will cause her to be attracted to you. Yup, giving a woman a negative comment will go further towards creating a lasting impression than a compliment ever will. Just imagine, a beautiful girl receives hundreds of compliments from different men every week. Then one day, someone comes along one day and says something non-too-flattering to her. Which of them do you think will she remember - the hundreds who complimented her, or the one guy who stood out from the rest and 'dissed' her? The answer is obvious - the guy who didn't give her what she expected.

But don't misunderstand, these 'insults' must not be conveyed in a malicious way so as to be considered rude. The idea here is not to piss her off, but rather, to communicate to her that you are not emasculated by her beauty, unlike 99% of the other guys she's met. And the only way to ensure this is by employing the right body language and tonality. But that is the subject for another day.

THE SECRET SEDUCTION TECHNIQUES

So far, whatever I've mentioned above about women might seem illogical, even nonsensical to you. But trust me, that's the reality of things. Women just aren't triggered by all that sacharine Disney-style romance we all grew up with. The truth is, attracting women requires a whole new set of skills that society never equipped us with. To unlock a woman, we need to use a totally different set of techniques that runs counter to our natural instinct. The one we've just talked about - being rude and mean to her - is but one of the numerous methods that form the basis of successful seduction.

A word of caution though. These pickup techniques, when used properly, are so powerful that a woman will immediately feel an intense, yet unexplainable attraction for the man. This will confuse and mystify her, because she will not normally be attracted to such a man. The usual criteria that a woman uses to qualify and select a man is simply thrown out of the window. As such, any man, be he short or ugly or broke or overweight, can induce powerful feelings of attraction and desirability within the woman if he employs these techniques properly. Continuous use of these techniques will render the woman utterly powerless to the man, till the point where her entire world is virtually in the palm of his hand - that's how powerful it is!

So beware, if you are ever considering learning these seduction techniques, be extremely mindful of what you are stepping into. Yes, you will have an unfair advantage over other guys. Yes, you will have unprecedented success with women. But do not abuse your power once you have it! These techniques will give you the secrets of attracting any woman, but if you use them without discretion and with ignoble intentions, there will be serious and far-reaching consequences. Such is the way of this world. Don't say I didn't warn you.

After all my words of caution, if you are still keen to learn these seduction techniques, then go to http://www.5minutepickup.com

Half of all marriages these days in divorce and we all ask why and quote changing social trends in modern times, liberation of women to changing work practices. While some of this might be true I believe the real reason is much simpler. Marriage is hard work and people find it easier to quit than make it work!I know it sounds harsh but most people would find it easier to divorce and go about their lives rather than do the hard yards and make their marriage work! Previously people were forced into marriage because women could not support themselves in society easily and it was seen as a terrible thing to divorce but that simply made unhappy marriages instead of divorce. To make a good stable marriage you have to work at it all the time and the rewards are worth the effort but most people get complacent and things start falling apart.

Let go of your Ego! One thing that destroys relationships more than anything is peoples drive to be right and WIN at an argument or at an entire relationship! This is a poison that can eat into every part of your life and puts up barriers between your lover and yourself as you never can win or if you do it ends up emotionally devastating and unforgivable. You see when you want to win they will not want to lose when you are hostile and arguing, this means that to resolve a conflict you must set aside that desire to win and leave yourself unarmed and defenseless against their attacks.

Getting married means you'll have to live with the same person for the rest of your life. In the beginning the thought may absolutely thrill you, but as time goes by, over-familiarity and boredom may set it. That's when trouble starts, one person may begin to feel trapped and the couple gradually begin to drift apart taking solace in daily routines.To avoid this trap, a couple should have common interests. Couples need to get involved in family projects, community projects, vacations, etc. I know of a couple who write up a list of 24 projects at the beginning of each year, and set out to complete two projects per month. Each project is interesting and meaningful to them, and they look forward to the next with excitement. They are as close as ever.Problems are very common in every relation. No one can avoid them but any successful relation is the result of greater understanding and good communication.So, this is how a crisis is developed. If you are already undergoing a crisis, the first step is to remain calm so that you can come to a state where you can understand and take a wise decision.That is all what we suggest. All you need to do is, take some serious steps to maintain your lovely relationship.

So why do men and women leave each other? Well, the answer to that is simple - for a variety of reasons. You see, each break up is unique in a sense.

For example, one person may simply fall out of love with the other and in this instance, the decision is almost always final. But is it? If you analyze why someone stops loving their partner then you'll unearth some interesting facts.

More often than not, it's a set of circumstances which have gathered momentum over a period of time. People just don't fall out of love overnight. If you've been dumped how did you react? In The Magic Of Making Up Review, author T W Jackson says there are definite clues to watch out for in your partner to determine if they have any feelings left for you.

And if you want any hope of getting your ex back then this is the time you need to maintain rational thinking. The trouble is, rational thinking goes out of the window and by the time a spurned lover comes out of their state of shock, the damage has already been done.

Falling out of love is just one reason, there are others which we'll take a look at in this article. However, if you're reading this and looking for some answers as to why you were dumped, then take stock and a "leaf" out of The Magic Of Making Up Review. Tell your ex you agree with the decision and just walk away for awhile.

Analyzing Your Break Up

If you are trying to analyze why your partner has dumped you it may pay to first analyze your behavior. Once you have isolated the possible reasons ask yourself whether you could have actually "nipped the break up in the bud" well before the "axe came down on your relationship."

If you're a man, understand certain things about the nature of women. Here are some points to take particular notice of:

- Women like to be appreciated. How did you score in this area? Have you appreciated what she did for you?

- Women like to be complimented. How many times have you complimented her either on her looks, her dress sense or any other area of your lives together where one would have be warranted.

- Women don't like to be taken for granted. They pay particular detail to attention.

Why Your Man May Have Dumped You

On the other hand, men will leave women for different reasons. Here's a couple of interesting ones:

- Men like to be admired. They also like to feel wanted. As a woman, how to you score with both of these points?

- Men hate being nagged. We don't say this to offend women but how many times have you picked faults in your man? It's a classic syndrome which develops in a relationship over time. What once was acceptable to a woman and admired of her man, now no longer strikes a chord.

Yes, you can be critical but here's the kicker, you also need to balance it out with expressions of admiration for the things he does do well in your book.

The Magic Of Making Up Review is your blueprint to getting your ex back. After all, over 5000 people in 27 countries can't be wrong.
