Some men go through three main phases before entering into a serious relationship. The first phase is infatuation, this being the time when the man is enthralled at the idea of finding a woman and is in a state of bliss at the prospect of spending time together. The second phase involves his thought process in which he is deciding whether he is truly ready for a serious relationship. This phase can prove to be most perplexing and misinterpreted if a woman does not understand the complexity of this phase. If a woman can understand phase two, she can then take steps, allowing it to transgress naturally into phase three. Phase three, of course, is a strong, solid and committed relationship. 

When the thrill of meeting someone new is dwindling and it appears that it is time to take a step in the direction of a more serious relationship, some men panic. Although they may desire a secure, safe and loving relationship, at some point a man can begin to display puzzling behavior.. If a woman is in a relationship and the man is in this phase, it is extremely important to be aware of the warning signs and then learn what can be done to aid in his comfort of accepting a serious, committed relationship.  Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps more than any of her contemporaries, the personality of the lead character of the Wonder Woman comic has changed drastically from decade to decade in various attempts to keep the story fresh and appease public critique of the storyline.

When Wonder Woman began in 1941, she was introduced as unapologetically assertive and independent Princess Diana of the Amazons. Her mother was Queen Hippolyte and the infamous lasso of truth was a gift bequeathed by the goddess Aphrodite. While the original Wonder Woman could not fly, she did have immense mental power, so strong that she boasted to Aquaman that the powers of her mind could easily defeat mere super strength alone. It was this "Amazonian concentration," that was the initial explanation for the tremendous feats she performed during her early years.

Still, early Wonder Woman had to be careful to follow Hippolyte's advice to "let no man chain … together or you will be forced to obey him - until you can get him or another man to break your chains." The bracelets on Diana's wrists were to "…teach you the folly of submitting to man's domination."

Following Steve Trevor's crash onto Paradise Island, the Amazons’ home, Wonder Woman fell in love with the army officer and eagerly participated in a tournament to decide which Amazon would accompany Trevor back to the United States. After winning the tournament, Diana was granted the title of Wonder Woman from her people. Once in the United States, Diana posed as Diana Prince, secretary to Trevor's boss and in her off-time joined the Justice Society of America.

The early Wonder Woman tales featured a lot of discussion about forcing the world into loving submission and panel upon panel of being bound. It was no surprise then, that Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocence claimed in 1954 that Wonder Woman was a lesbian dominatrix who would forever scar the minds of young children with her evil ways.

That set the stage for the first major overhaul in Wonder Woman’s comic. Wonder Woman dropped her outspoken feminist rhetoric, began pining and gushing over Trevor and other men during 50s and 60s. On a more positive note, her powers received an upgrade. With her origin now including gifts from the gods as a child, Wonder Woman was referred to as "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as
