Rather than advice I would call these observations, being a Western European in a relationship with a Ukrainian I have some first hand experience which I feel is worth sharing. Much of who we are and what we believe is the result of what we experience during our childhood.
As Buz Luhrmann aptly puts it, "Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth".
You see, there is precious little in the way of practical material available in your local bookstore on the subject of relating to someone who was not raised with the same value system as yourself. And you can’t expect your partner to help you out because he/she is just as confused as you are. Those, like myself, who are actually attracted to another culture are the most at risk. This brings me to the first observation:
#1: Don’t assume that your interest in your partner’s culture will last, or that it will somehow prevent conflicts from occurring.
Never underestimate the depth of the roots of your own upbringing. Sure, it’s possible to change (given enough time and enough effort). But no matter how deep you dig, you will always be you. Your beliefs, your emotions, your priorities, in short, your whole approach to life, are shaped by the culture in which you were brought up. This leads to the obvious:
#2: Don’t assume that the other person will change significantly just because of the relationship or because of your charming influence.
Some degree of cross-pollenization is bound to occur between two people who share an intimate relationship but when you start to expect change, then you start to get into big trouble. The best thing you can do for each other is to acknowledge the fact that conflicts will occur and will often occur for the simplest and most unexpected reasons.
That said, it should be quite obvious that you will want to find out as much as you possibly can about your potential partner and his or her lifestyle. You would be surprised how much is taken for granted in typical marriages, even among partners of the same background. What priority does the extended family play in the couple’s life, how are family decisions made, how much free time (time apart from each other) is considered normal for the partners, etc.
#3: Don’t assume anything. Assumption is the mother of all f###ups. Make sure you discuss with your partner every aspect of your future life together.
Also, don’t assume that when your partner says something it is unimportant and that it does not have to be discussed. Those areas are often the most important things to discuss. The fact that something is ‘not important’ may be a signal that one or both of you are making an assumption about the way some aspect of life will turn out based on your own past experience. Well, you might as well toss that ‘past experience’ right out the window because your partner and you, by definition, do not share the same past or the same experience. And that brings me to the next point:
#4: If your partner refuses to discuss a subject openly, treat that as a big red flag and find out why.
The beliefs people hold most dear are the ones which they are least likely to want to discuss with someone else. Unless you’re prepared to cheerfully accept whatever ideas or beliefs your partner may consider most important, I’d suggest you at least find out what those beliefs are before jumping into a permanent relationship with that person.
And I’m not talking only about religious beliefs (which may be important in their own right) but also beliefs about how life should be lived. Those things which you or your partner might call ‘common sense’. Well, the term common sense covers a lot of ground and is often based on those underlying assumptions we have been trying so hard not to look at. The only things that are actually common are things like not standing in front of a speeding truck or not walking into an empty elevator shaft.
For example, if you are very involved in a group which supports a particular cause but your partner sees this as one of your ‘hobbies’ — and if he or she has been brought up to believe that when two people marry they will give up the ‘hobbies’ of their younger days. And if you wait until after you are married to find out that all this is only ‘common sense’ to him/ her then you may well find yourself in a difficult situation real fast. Or if you find out that it is considered ‘common sense’ that you should give up your dream of starting that business and instead work as a corporate grunt in order to provide security for the family because that’s the way everyone else from your partner’s country behaves — my friend, you’ve found out way too late.
#5: Make it a point to talk about some tough topics (like money, raising children, where to live, etc.) before making those wedding arrangements.
Look, the stuff is going to come up sooner or later. Start an argument or two. Find out what it’s like to fight by your partner’s rules. No amount of love or respect is going to keep your ship from hitting the icebergs of life. You might as well know whether you will be able to work together toward a solution when the inevitable crisis comes up.
#6: Make sure that, between the two of you, there is at least one language in which you are both fluent.
This is very important. As a test, try taking some very subtle feeling or belief and explain it to your potential mate. Have him or her explain it back. If there is not a substantial understanding of what you explained, watch out. If either of you are unable to explain the subtle emotions that come up in a relationship without causing some misunderstanding, then you will be in for a very hard, if not impossible, road through life. Wait a while until one or the other of you is able to achieve a good degree of fluency in the others language.
After all, would you hook up permanently with someone whose face you had never seen? Not many of us would. Then how come we will so readily hook up with a partner whose soul we have never seen?
#7: Examine your own motives.
Is this someone you would hook up with even if you were safe and happy in your own country? If you are the partner who is trying to live in another culture, remember this: Culture shock can do funny things to a normally rational mind. Sure you’re lonely, sure there are things about your surroundings that you just can’t seem to figure out, sure your partner makes everything seem safe by filling you in on the subtle nuances of his or her culture. That’s the formula for a perfect couple, right? Wrong. What you have is a parent or a teacher, not a lover. And it’s all too easy to overlook the previous seven observations when it seems so obvious that this is the ‘prefect’ person for you.
If you see this happening to you, stop. Postpone any commitment. Get yourself comfortable with your surroundings. Disarm the ‘convenience’ in the relationship and then see what you think. Learn more about the subtle parts of your partner’s culture and then decide if you can tolerate, work with, and actually love that person because they are different and not despite those differences.
#8: Lay the family finances out on the table and plan out your budget for at least your first couple of years together.
Why? Even in single-culture marriages, money seems to be the biggest problem in making decisions together. Why not get a head start on the inevitable. After all, it’s going to be both of you in this together so you might as well start now.
Of course, you can figure that if you make it past the first couple of years (the most intense part of the learning curve when it comes to finding out about all the differences in your ideas and background), you can pretty much go back to planning things by the seats of your respective pants.
#9: Don’t underestimate the importance of keeping good relations with your partner’s parents.
You may have developed a great deal of independence from your family. Some hardly notice, and sometimes don’t even care, what their parents think of their choices in partners. However, the same is not true in all cultures. In some eastern European and Asian cultures there is still a great deal of synergy between parent and offspring, even well after they have left the nest and formed families of their own.
And the worst thing that can happen is to have your partner’s parents (or your own) constantly undermining the relationship, either consciously or not. If you can’t get their active support then at least settle for passive acceptance. Anything less should be a sign of trouble ahead.
#10: Be ready to help your partner through the inevitable rough spots.
Well, okay, this is sound advice for any couple. But just remember that you both will be setting out on an adventure — a full-time first-hand learning experience in the other person’s cultural labyrinth. None of us, I am convinced, ever really appreciates how many things we learn about life when we are young and that we take for granted every day. We consider many of these things just plain ‘common sense’ but they’re only common if you and your partner have common backgrounds. Expect the unexpected. Then you won’t be disappointed.
#11: Forget about any rules.
If you have come this far and still intend to undertake this major life project, then may your experience be one of constant joy and wonder. And if you happen to be one of those for whom an inter-racial marriage has turned out well, I would certainly love to hear from you. Learning up-close about another person can be simultaneously the greatest adventure of your life and the greatest challenge.

Long distance relationship is not a piece of cake

As previously mentioned it doesn't matter how much kilometers separate you from each other. You may either live in the same country or be separated by the Atlantic Ocean, but in both cases you'll not avoid typical long distance relationship problems. No matter how strong you love is, you still have to remember that you should work on your relationship all the time.
Communication
If you are willing to do everything to keep your relationship despite the distance then the first thing you should remember about is communication. The Internet can help you to get closer to a person that lives thousand miles away from you. For instance, most of online dating sites offer their members such services as sending messages and arranging video chats. If you setup your free profile with us, we at Nymphy's of Calypso will help you make it work. You can use these features every day and any time when you have a free minute. This way you'll definitely make your long distance relationship work.
Stay Updated
Don't forget to stay updated with your loved one's life and share your favourite moments. Open the window to your life for her. Write your morning "hello" and your "good night" before going to bed. Do live video chat and show your smile to her. Choosing live video chat you get an opportunity to see each other's faces during your conversation and a possibility to express your feelings and emotions. It's unbelievable but some men even proposed to their future wives online! This may seem weird but it definitely proves that there is a lot of methods of how to deal with long distance relationship.
Share Pictures
Share pictures with your "honey bunny". For example, send her your "selfie". This may be a funny one that will make her smile. You can also send the pictures of the street where you live, your work place, you and your friends together. This way you share your life with her and show you really care.
Give Your Attention
Don't forget to give her your attention. Long distance relationship doesn't imply only Internet communication. Show your creativity and bring some material note to your relations. For example, no doubts there are lots of various flower deliveries in her country, so don't hesitate to surprise her by ordering her favorite flowers. Just imagine her eyes while she's getting them from a deliveryman. If you attach some sentimental note to your bouquet she will get even much more excited and pleased.
One more good advice on how to make long distance relationship work is to read the same books and discuss them afterwards. This way you'll be able to find out each other's opinions on the same theme that will help you to know each other better. Reading the same books or magazines will also make you feel united.
Send her some of your personal things by post. For example, you can send your t-shirt sprayed with your favorite perfume so she can sleep in it instead of her nightgown. Or this may also be some of your watches so she can wear them and remember you every time she looks at them.
Listen to the Same Songs
One more idea of how to keep love in long distance relationship is listening to the same songs. Let two of you make your own play list for each other. Download these tracks to your cell phones and listen on your way to work. This way you may learn each other's musical tastes and feel closer to each other.
Long distance relationship was meant to be complicated, but it's OK. Good things come to those who wait, but remember that your dream is also waiting for you somewhere and a combination of time and distance may sometimes be a clue to a brand new level of relations. Long distance relationships have their pros and cons, but it's worth to keep and fight for them if you really love.

Selfie Gadgets
A selfie brush, hat or a belfie stick, these are but some of the craziest selfie gadgets we came across.
The net is full of such gadgets, claiming to give you that perfect selfie. We have reviewed some of these gadgets so that you dont have to and our winner is the Extendable Handheld Selfie Stick.
At Nymphs of Calyps we all agree that Selfie Stick is like the invisible photo companion that you always wished you had.
The Extendable Handheld Selfie Stick or monopod is a collapsible rod that looks and function very much like the extendable pointers that public speakers use for presentations. At the tip of the rod is an attachment for mounting a camera with a tripod mount or the included adapter for mounting a smartphone. To bring your selfies to the next level of photography, just attach your smartphone or camera to the selfie stick, set the auto-timer on the camera, extend the stick and put on your best pose.
The selfie stick fits all iphones but not all androids. The Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and 3 have a screen which is wider than 2.6 inches so you might need to get hold of a mount adapter.
When not in use the selfie stick collapses in 20cm long, fitting in most handbags or even your jeans back pocket.
Not all selfie sticks come with a remote trigger so if you want to splash out a little more and have that little extra edge and comfort, look out for a monopod with a triggering mechanism in its handle.

Last two post in this series. How to improve your selfie
10. To mirror or not to mirror. That is the question.
Whenever you want to take a selfie, it is normal that you want to check yourself in the mirror first and you might be tempted to take a picture of yourself whilst looking at the mirror. There are pros and cons.
You can often see the phone you are using and overall, they typically don't look that great! some say. But you might have an artistic flair and taking a picture with mirror can create some great effects. Not to to mention that they can also be a lot of fun.

So whether you use the mirror or not is up to you, but a good rule of thumb is, a selfie is about you, so is your photo about you or your camera?, what about that background? and if you can make it creative and interesting why not.

Today's Tip is - Be Silly

This morning we wrote about putting on a Disney makeup but the possibilities are endless and the only limit your imagination.
Camel teeth is better than camel toe in a selfie. It is not as difficult as you think, click away and we guarantee that occasionally you will land that once in a million picture.
You never know one day Beyonce will pose for your selfie, it happened before ;).

Disney Princess Makeup
We are not going crazy but we received a tweet and we liked. So as our audience is growing we thought why not share it, it sure deserves an audience.
So whether you have a party or just like the makeup, why not give it a try and perhaps snap a few selfies.

What's your angle
With photos as in life there is more than just one angle ;)
A lot of people do not consider the angle of the picture when they are taking their own selfies; don't be that person! Some #people look great when they hold the phone up and angle their face upward -- think about it! Switch it up and find your best side and your best angle. Don't be scared to try something different!
Pick your best angle…no double chins please. Angles can do wonders for a selfie. Downward angles should be avoided at all costs – double chins are flattering on no one. A straight-on or above angle works best. Straightforward shots make you look the most natural, and shots taken from above can highlight shadows and make you appear slimmer. Just try not to take them from too high, or you will end up with bobble-head syndrome. According to popular dating website AnastasiaDate, the most popular angle for woman is the “Myspace angle”, which is when she takes the photo from above, coyly looking into the camera. The selfie shot most practiced by men is the “ab shot”, which is a photo taken in the mirror – you guessed it – shirtless.

Perfect Selfie Tip of the Day - Be Still
Tip 4 - Hold Still
It may be an obvious hint, but nonetheless challenging to execute. One is to be still when taking your photo selfie. This is especially important when you are taking a selfie since you cannot rely on someone else with two steady hands to snap the photo. After you made up, checked out your lighting, found the right background, you are now trying to pose and trying to steady a wobbly arm all at the same time. It takes practice, but it is possible to take clear, non-wobbly pics! Take a deep breath, try to relax and hold your pose!

Selfie Tip 3
Tip 3 - Background Check
Another important element in taking pictures is to pick a good, clear background. We’ve all seen those photo fails where someone has taken a selfie in a dirty bedroom with piles of clothes or in the bathroom while someone’s taking care of business. Always check your surroundings so you have a clear background that lends itself well to an impromptu photo selfie. Look for solid colored walls, textured curtains or any place without clutter.

How to take a great selfie. Tip 2 - Lighten up
Tip 2 - Lighten up
So yesterday we started discussing how we can take great selfies. We have been amazed by the amount of interest this post has created and would love to hear more comments from you and dont forget if you like it share with your friends.
So here is today's tip.
When you’re taking a selfie, or any photo for that matter, you have to have good lighting! You can’t show off your makeup, hair or that new dress in bad lighting because it’s distracting and unflattering! Sure, you can strategically hide a blemish with a shadow, but don’t choose lighting that’s too harsh or too dark. Even if you plan it that way, your vision might not translate well to the photo! So Lighten up)

PRO's and CON's of Online Dating
People have mixed feelings about online dating. Some people have great experiences with online dating that end in satisfying relationships. Others have stories filled with confusion and frustration. Therefore, much like any other way to date, meeting someone online has both its benefits and drawbacks.
So, how does someone date online successfully? In this article we provide you with a simple analysis of the pros and cons of online dating that can help you out a great deal. There is enough research to have put together a reliable analysis.
Online Dating Explored
A 2012 study put together an extremely comprehensive review of the literature investigating various aspects of online dating. The goal of the study was to evaluate whether online dating was
1) fundamentally different from face-to-face dating and
2) was superior.
Results of their assessment indicated that dating online was indeed different from "traditional" dating in a number of ways. It also provided some superior features and potential problems.
Overall, the study found that online dating differed in three main areas:
1) Access
Pros: Online dating provided individuals with access to many more potential partners than they could often find in their daily lives. This is especially true for individuals interested in partners of a particular type, orientation, lifestyle, or in isolated areas.
Cons: The choices of partners can become confusing and overwhelming. Without a clear plan, online daters can get stuck endlessly "shopping" for the perfect partner, rather than actually starting a satisfying relationship. 'You need a game plan', says online Women's health magazine. It is not a race, take your time, chat often, use camshare, and with as many man as possible, and take notes.
2) Matching
Pros: Many online dating sites offer various types of personality testing and matching. Such matching can help guide individuals toward dating partners who may be more compatible.
Cons: Matching is a difficult process and testing may not be accurate for everyone. In addition, people may present differently in person or change over time. So, matching may overlook potentially good partners in the process. Giving detailed information in your profile helps you find the right match, read the men's profiles and have as many chats as possible before agreeing to meet. Remember one of you has to take a rather long journey so take your time and try to get to know the person better through the various communication methods Nymphs of Calypso gives you online.
3) Communication
Pros: Online dating offers a number of ways to get to know a potential date before meeting in person. Such computer-mediated communication allows for safe and convenient interaction, without much risk or time commitment. For the busy professional, or the safety-conscious, such communication is an excellent way to "test" potential partners. Do not fall in the trap of trying to give too much personal information until you are absolutely sure you want to take it to the next level with this person.
Cons: Communication through computers is lacking some of the information provided in face-to-face interaction. As a result, it is harder to evaluate a potential match online. Also, some of the cues and features that build attraction (like touching) cannot be accomplished through a computer. So, such computer-mediated communication may have an artificial and unemotional quality. Through our camshare experience much of this difficulty is mitigated, however when the time is right your online experience should lead to an actual date.
Using Online Dating to Your Advantage
The features of online dating definitely has its benefits. So, how do you make the most of your dating experience online?
- Access - Having choices is wonderful. If you want an actual face-to-face dating interaction, chat with as many men as possible and don't be discouraged. Make a wish list and take notes. To ensure success among your many options, make sure you have at least a general idea of what you're looking for in a partner, and what you are offering them too.
- Matching - Online tests may not be able to tell you your perfect match, but they can help narrow down the options. In particular, such testing often identifies potential daters who would be a poor relationship partner for anyone. Therefore, while
you may have to videochat a few men to find out who is a good fit for you, matching can help you avoid those who might be a disaster. Beyond that, it might be best to trust your unconscious feelings too as your implicit "gut reactions" can have a big impact on attraction.
- Communication - Online communication is designed to make an initial connection, not set the foundation for a whole relationship. So, keep initial online conversation focused on finding out the basics quickly. Generally, a few short letters or quick conversations will suffice.
Overall, it is important to remember that online dating is a resource to meet individuals for eventual face-to-face dating. Have a game plan, take notes, take advantage of the great choices and make many interactions.

How to create a stand out profile
Did you know that one in three couples now find their soul mate online? In this fast-paced, social media-dependent world, we rely on the Internet for everything - from keeping in touch with old school friends and career networking to ordering takeaways and finding a pet-sitter for that weekend away. So, it seems logical you would use the good old Internet for finding that special someone, too.
That said, the world of online dating can be scary if you've never tried it before, so here are our top tips for making the most of your profile and spotting a great potential partner.
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR ONLINE PROFILE:
1. Ask your friends for help: Get a friend to help you write your profile. Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself.
2. Think of something interesting that could be a conversation starter.
3. List sociable hobbies: ‘People have to imagine how they’ll fit into your life, so describing yourself as a “bookworm and internet addict” makes them feel they’d never see you,’ explain some relationship experts. ‘Play up your love of anything sporty, outdoorsy or public – like concerts and exhibitions.'
4. Choose action shots: Wouldn't you know, profile photos that demonstrate you playing your guitar or downhill skiing – even if your face isn’t showing – get more messages.
5. Stay positive: Avoid negative tones and always be positive about yourself. Your profile is essentially your dating CV. You wouldn’t want a future employer to read anything negative, so why would you want a potential partner to read anything that isn’t positive?
6. Be specific: Talk in specifics to give a full flavour of who you are. If you love travelling, say where your favourite place is and why. Anything concrete like this brings you alive to anyone reading.
7. Say cheese: In a recent poll, we found that 96 per cent of people would rather see a big, happy grin in a profile photo than a sexy pout.
8. Choose recent photos: If they are more than a year old, don’t use them. One of the most frequent complaints about online dating profiles is “they may have looked like that once but they certainly don’t look like that now”. Looking better in the flesh is better than the reverse.
9. Keep it short and sweet: ‘You wouldn’t introduce yourself to someone in a bar with your entire life history, so don’t do it online,’ say dating experts. 'Women have a tendency to write too much because we enjoy reading long profiles. Men are not like us! Imagine you are doing an icebreaker introduction where you have to sum yourself up briefly.’
10. Have fun: Most people want to find someone who can make them laugh, so show people you have a sense of humour. If you can make someone laugh, it’s a great icebreaker and could get your conversation off to a great start.

List sociable hobbies: ‘People have to imagine how they’ll fit into your life, so describing yourself as a “bookworm and internet addict” makes them feel they’d never see you,’ explain some relationship experts. ‘Play up your love of anything sporty, outdoorsy or public – like concerts and exhibitions.'
4. Choose action shots: Wouldn't you know, profile photos that demonstrate you playing your guitar or downhill skiing – even if your face isn’t showing – get more messages.
5. Stay positive: Avoid negative tones and always be positive about yourself. Your profile is essentially your dating CV. You wouldn’t want a future employer to read anything negative, so why would you want a potential partner to read anything that isn’t positive?
6. Be specific: Talk in specifics to give a full flavour of who you are. If you love travelling, say where your favourite place is and why. Anything concrete like this brings you alive to anyone reading.
7. Say cheese: In a recent poll, we found that 96 per cent of people would rather see a big, happy grin in a profile photo than a sexy pout.
8. Choose recent photos: If they are more than a year old, don’t use them. One of the most frequent complaints about online dating profiles is “they may have looked like that once but they certainly don’t look like that now”. Looking better in the flesh is better than the reverse.
9. Keep it short and sweet: ‘You wouldn’t introduce yourself to someone in a bar with your entire life history, so don’t do it online,’ say dating experts. 'Women have a tendency to write too much because we enjoy reading long profiles. Men are not like us! Imagine you are doing an icebreaker introduction where you have to sum yourself up briefly.’

Is if you are looking for a smart, successful man, we have thousands on our website. Creating your profile is free, send us an email on maltesehanini@gmail.com so we get you started. Remember 'A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step'.

Passive is not attractive
Think about it, would you take a passive approach about your health or career. We all know that in order to succeed in life we have to take charge of our situation and work hard towards achieving our goals.
We all love a man who is determined, confident and who takes initiative. Guess what, these guys like confident and determined women too. Women who know what they want and act upon it. It is easy to fall in the trap of asking why not me? Instead the question that we all should be asking is why me?
The answer is simple really and the solution simpler. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up and never give up. So why not take matters in your own hands and checkout if your man is out there.
How? Online dating is a huge tool which puts you in the driving seat and with complete and absolute control. You can chat, flirt or fall in love, you can go as slow or as fast as you like. We say take advantage of the opportunity, spend a few hours every day, and chat with as many men as you like, get to know them and meet them from the comfort of your home. See them online and make as many friends as possible. Take your time and when you feel comfortable enough take it to the next level and meet in person.
What the internet gives is access. The guy next door you like so much, can be in a different country or continent even. Pack your suitcase and go visit and have that holiday you so much deserve, or invite him to visit you. You are quite a catch believe it.
Send us an email on maltesehanini@gmail.com to see how we can help you take the initiative. Thousands of men from all over the world are waiting for you.
