If you are a happy single woman, chances are you have a network of friends and extended family. You have not just one best friend, but from four to many friends. With enough friends - and what is enough varies for each of us - you will rarely be lonely and will always be cared for, says sociologist Kay Trimberger.

How NOT to Change Men: 'Why Criticism Doesn't Work'
Criticism changes women, even when men don't mean to do that. "Understanding Men's" Alison Armstrong explains why criticism doesn't change men. It only causes distance. Watch and learn more!
We heard about Alison Armstrong from many sources around the same time. First, a few women friends took her workshop in Los Angeles. Next she was feataured on the San Francisco television show "View from the Bay". And then, someone else we knew started talking about her. Alison Armstrong seems to be hitting a nerve with her discussions on the differences between men and women. Her goal is to provide a bridge between our genders. She isn't a trained psychologist, but she is a good student of gender differences and a great communicator. We hope you will find her information enlightening. We certainly did.
