Although the exact cause for testicular cancer is not yet determined, it is known that younger men are more susceptible to it, particularly those in their twenties or early thirties. Testicular cancer, as well as other malignancies, are effectively treated and cured with early detection. Fortunately, testicular cancer is a condition which can be easily detected by self-examination, and men should do this regularly so as to monitor their risks, especially if the condition runs in the family.

You can detect early on if you have a developing malignancy in your testes by regularly checking them for abnormalities in texture and sensation, preferably on a monthly basis. Your scrotal sac is much thinner and sensitive when it is wet, so it is advisable that you do this immediately following a soak in the bathtub or right after a shower.

While on a standing position, raise either leg and place it on an elevated platform. Then feel for the testicle opposite the raised leg by running your fingers across the scrotal sac. You may use either or both hands; cup your scrotum around either hand to feel any changes in sensation during your monthly self-examinations.

Firmly (but delicately) roll either testicle around your palm or between your cupped thumb and fingers, and look for any irregularities in surface texture, such as a hard or unusual lump; testicular tumors are usually pea-sized, so it is easy to determine a tumor when you come across it. Then move your fingers along the length of the epididymis, a delicate tube which feels like a comma this is located behind each testicle and is responsible for the collection and the release of sperm. Look for similar lump-like masses. Repeat this procedure with the other testicle.

Watch out for telltale symptoms like lumps in either or both testicles, or painful and tender sensations in the same. Although it is normal for one testicle to be bigger than the other, the difference should be minimal as to be relatively unnoticeable; if it is evidently large to the touch, you may be bearing the condition. If you experience a fluid discharge similar to pus from your penis, a felt buildup of the same within the scrotum, or a bloody discharge accompanying release during ejaculation, call your doctor for advice. Those who potentially carry testicular cancer also feel a weighing or dragging sensation both in the groin and in the scrotum, and may experience enlarged, tender breasts as well.

You may be concerned if your scrotum feels like it’s filled with worms; this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have testicular cancer. Such a condition is referred to as a varicocle, wherein the veins within the scrotum are inflamed. It is a normal occurrence, harmless and without symptoms. Many cases of testicular abnormalities begin with an injury, inflammation, or a type of infection in the same areas, and there is a chance that these may develop into testicular cancer. Schedule a checkup with your doctor on a monthly basis to ensure that you are given the appropriate treatments if ever you do acquire the condition.

One of the things about women that always confused me was how they send out mixed messages. It used to drive me crazy. Does she like me? Does she just want to be friends? Back and forth it would go through my mind.

Does that sound at all familiar to you?

Most men have went though a number of different experiences where that has been the case.

I have since been able to figure this out. I’ll share with you what I have learned.

She Wants You To Reveal More

Whether women realize it or not, they don’t always send clear signals. Many of the signals that indicate interest are just a way to lead you on.

Why would she want to lead you on?

She wants to see how much she can learn about you. She wants to see if you can make her feel tingly inside. This does give you more opportunity to prove yourself, but unfortunately it will rarely work in your favor, because you will think your already doing the right things.

Realize that a woman’s signals can be misleading. She is trying to get you to expose your true colors.

She Likes Attention

Women love attention. Sometimes they will flirt with you just to get attention. Married women do this and you can see lots of women doing it at your favorite club. It’s a great way for her to validate herself as a woman. She only knows that she is beautiful based on the fact that men hit on her allot, compliment her, and so on.

There is a difference between flirting for attention and flirting with intent. Women will use both of these on you.

Your Sending Her Mixed Signals

Often when a woman sends mixed signals its because you are sending her mixed signals.

What?

Yes! You heard me correctly. She is just as confused as you are.

Allot of guys send out behavior signals to a woman that communicates friendship. I know your intentions may be more then that, but she doesn’t always know what your intentions are. So be careful about how you treat her. Are you treating her like a friend? Or… A lover? You better figure it out.
You Changed

How many times have things been going well only for things to suddenly change in your relationship? This happens all the time.

Did you start calling her all the time?

Did you keep telling her how amazing you think she is?

Did you start buying her gifts all the time?

I know what your thinking!

She said she wanted to be treated like a princess and to feel special.

What made you think that she doesn’t already feel that way with you?

It’s okay to value a woman, but don’t overvalue her.

Let her call you sometimes, let her tell you how amazing you are sometimes, and let her buy you a gifts sometimes.

There are many men that feel they are a “nice guy” and that women are crazy to pass them over. Well, I have some news for you dudes.

Nobody cares that you are “nice.”

See, the problem is that “nice” guys put themselves on some sort of pedestal. Nice guys like to think they are superior to other men, that they are better at relationships, and that by virtue of their “niceness” are more deserving of a woman’s romantic attentions.

From experience I can tell you that “nice” guys are not as nice as they like to think. Most “nice guys” are whiney, close-minded, judgmental, spineless, controlling, and weak. Women do not like weak, whiney, judgmental men. Ergo, women do not like “nice” guys.

Women want MEN - decisive, action oriented, determined, aggressive. Sadly, sometimes that comes bundled with a liar and a cheat which is what the “nice” guys point to and the reason they say women are crazy.

But who said that every woman SHOULD want a “nice” guy? Who made that a law? Why do “nice” guys condemn women for choosing thrill seeking, impulsive men with a bad boy edge? In other words, choices that exclude “nice” guys?

Being a “nice guy” does not win you any brownie points in the dating game! Never has, never will. You win at dating when you give the opposite sex what they want. Even if a woman is your wife, you still have to have a spine, still stand strong and remain in control of yourself as a man should.

The bottom line that you “nice” guys need to understand is this: when women are young they are not interested in settling down and being serious. Why would a girl want some clingy, overly solicitous codependent around? Young women want to HAVE FUN. And the best men to have fun with are impulsive, thrill seekers that have an edge… males that exude testosterone and inspire passion and desire with their games and lies.

Which is why “nice” guys that project neediness, that go out of their way to please women with the expectation of getting something in return get passed over. “I was so nice to her, why doesn’t she love me? I deserve to have someone love me more than those players do!” the nice guys say.

No you don’t. But if you want to get the girls you need to be the type of guy that never allows a woman to tell him what to do or to control him in any way. Certainly, in a marital partnership there is established trust and decisions are made with input of both parties for the betterment of the family.

But we are talking about dating here, not marriage.

Just remember, once you allow a woman to have the upper hand in the relationship, she loses respect for you. And when a woman loses respect for a man, she loses her sexual attraction for him as well. She sees you as a brother, and normal people do not feel sexually attracted to their siblings. You are subsequently put in The Friend Zone and you are never coming out. If the two were dating, she will ultimately declare that “he’s too nice” and dump him out of boredom.

There is hope for you guys though.

Bad boy types stay exciting for a few years, then most women move on. Once the play is out of their system (just like in guys), people change their perspectives on life. Their choices in lifestyle, dress, and romantic partners change as well.

As a woman heads into her 30s she transitions and begins to look for a husband and father for her children. She will look for slightly different qualities in her mate and put more emphasis and higher value on personal qualities like honesty, work ethic, family values, responsibility, and similar lifestyle than she does on excitement and sex appeal.

However, even if a woman is 50 years old, she does NOT want a weak, whiney, judgmental, superior acting dude! Every woman on this planet wants a guy that she sees as attractive, exciting and sexy - she just wants him to be committed and devoted to her and the kids at the same time.

Finding the right woman for you is simply a matter of you matching whatever it is that a woman is looking for. If you fit her needs, you’re in. If you aren’t chosen Mr. “Nice” Guy, that simply means you don’t fit her needs. No matter how “nice” a guy you might perceive yourself to be, you aren’t the RIGHT guy for her.
