Catecholamines

Back at home, without the beloved room mate whom I Google so much with!  We'll be reunited soon, but now for my own little Google rant.

 

Inspiration: 

I've been trying to lose weight to make my ex-girlfriend jealous, and also look good for my new love interest, but we all know which one is more important!  I drink coffee often, and I realized that when I drink coffee, I eat less, helping me lose weight.  Is is just because it's filling, or is there some chemical equation?  Well, I googled "lose weight drink coffee" and was lead to next search "catecholamine" which, according to non-scholarly and non-reliable sources, help you lose weight.

From Wikipedia:

Catecholamines are sympathomimetic "fight-or-flight" hormones released by the adrenal glands in response to stress^. They are part of the sympathetic nervous system.
They are called catecholamines because they contain a catechol or 3,4-dihydroxylphenyl group. They are derived from the amino acid tyrosine.
In the human body, the most abundant catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine, all of which are produced from phenylalanine and tyrosine. Various stimulant drugs are catecholamine analogs.

The search:

There is nothing useful about catecholamines regarding to weight loss.  At least not according to the first three pages of Google results.  Time to find a new magic trick to losing weight!  Exercise? Nah....

How to Sweep a Girl off of her Feet.

Inspiration: 

After being put in the "friend zone" by a woman I had a crush on, I felt a little bit lost, but that was okay.  Now, she wants to go on a mini road trip with me.  Thus, roomie MJ and I Google "how to sweep a girl off of her feet"

The search:

After sifting through a bunch of hideous, heterosexual articles (I'm a girl trying to sweep a girl off of her feet... I had no idea there were so many creepy dudes out there), we decided on making a list of the things we dubbed most useful...

Some of our conclusions / favorite findings

• ezinearticles.com kind of sucks

• Learn what matters to her. Part of getting to know a woman is to learn about her and what she cares about. Each woman is different, so you need to find what matters to her before you can romance her.

• Walk the fine line between confidence and arrogance. Confident men are sexy as long as they don’t tip the scale into arrogant and domineering. If you believe you can win the woman of your dreams, you are much more likely to succeed. Just let her see your confidence.

• Do this without expecting any reward. Forget about a date or her phone number; just be sincere and it will work out. Giving her a unique compliment could probably make her blush and earn you some points. And even if it fails to do the magic, you could still give yourself credit for being truthful.
