New Survey: How 3,500 College Students Use Dating Apps

April 4, 2017 No Comments

Abodo, an apartment search platform, interviewed 3,500 college students to uncover how and why they use the dating site Tinder and other dating apps that revealed surprising results. To see the full report, read ‘Swipe Right for Love?’.

Key Findings

37% of men DO NOT think using dating apps while in a relationship is cheating.
31.5% of female app users said they would NEVER hook-up on a first date.
9.4% of male app users said they would NEVER hook-up on a first date.
84% of college students prefer Tinder over any other dating app.
91% of college students are primarily NOT using the apps for hook-ups.
27% say that they’ve been sexually harassed on dating apps (Grindr and OkCupid report the highest rates).

Thoughts on the Survey

It surprises us at Fromgirltogirl how many college students prefer to use Tinder because that particular dating app is for hook ups for the most part. We assumed there would be more of a balance of hook-up culture and wanting a monogamous relationship but the survey indicates less people are looking for just hook ups. A finding that did not surprise us were the number of men using dating apps and not considering it as cheating while in a relationship. We feel this is accurate because men define cheating differently than women. We have even heard men define a need for sexual interactions with multiple partners while in a relationship as something fun to do – not thinking how it could emotionally or physically harm a significant other. As for women saying they would never hook-up on a first date, we believe that is based on not wanting to be seen as too promiscuous versus not having the thought to hook-up on a first date.

A physically attractive person that one enjoys the company of is hard to resist. It is a temptation from the start because it’s desire. Just because a woman says she would never hook-up on a first date, it doesn’t mean she wouldn’t if the opportunity came into fruition. However, we do feel more men in comparison to women would jump at the chance to hook-up on a first date. More shockingly, we are shocked that 91% of college students are not using dating apps for hook-ups. Are students looking for steady dating but lost hope in face-to-face first introductions? It is definitely something to look more into. Chat with Fromgirltogirl on Facebook and Twitter to let us know what works and doesn’t work for you when using dating apps. What is your primary reason for using dating apps? We would love to hear from you.

How does acne impact your love life? | Women’s Health Survey

April 1, 2017 No Comments

Rolling through the week 🙌🏻 Happy Wednesday friends!

A post shared by Curology (@curology) on Mar 15, 2017 at 12:30pm PDT

A new survey reveals that women would be willing to go without sex, gain 10 pounds or take a pay cut in order to get clear skin. Think that’s surprising? The survey also found women will cancel a date or plans because of a zit, would rather have their period than a breakout on their wedding da. The average woman is willing to go as far as editing their selfies to cover their skin before posting pictures on social media. This survey is the Curology‘s State of Acne in America, which polled more than 1,000 women between the ages of 18-44 who have suffered from acne, blackheads or clogged pores at some point in their lives and the results are shocking.

Period on your Wedding day: 59% of women said they’d rather have their period than a breakout on their wedding day

Find the full survey results for an inside look into women’s emotional, social and professional struggles caused by acne and explore what they would be willing to sacrifice for clear skin.

The Dermatology crisis of America

There are less than 10,000 dermatologists in the United States and more than 50 million people suffering from acne, access to quality care can be limited while the desire to conquer breakouts and end skincare stress is widespread. Curology, the skincare company that offers customized prescription acne care for every customer online, released its inaugural survey on the State of Acne in America.

The survey provides a comprehensive look at the challenges women face when dealing with acne and highlights how far women of all ages are willing to go to achieve clear skin. The survey was conducted online with Google Consumer Surveys among 1,001 women, between the ages of 18-44, who have suffered from acne, blackheads or clogged pores at some point in their lives.

Curology is the only solution that offers customized acne formulas for each customer. A dedicated dermatology provider reviews photos of each customer’s face and analyzes responses to medical questions before prescribing a tailor-made formula. Each formula has prescription-strength ingredients not available over-the-counter, and Curology ships the personalized formula directly to the customer’s door.

The Purpose of the State of Acne in America Survey

“Our hope with the State of Acne in America survey is to expose the underlying struggles women face when dealing with their acne and understand just how important it is for them to find an effective treatment,” said David Lortscher, MD, board-certified dermatologist and the founder and CEO of Curology. “This survey validates what our dermatology providers hear from customers every day – that acne is more than just skin deep. Changes in the appearance of the skin have a major impact on a person both socially and emotionally – and that’s why I created Curology.”

Wearing Your Emotions

Suffering from unwanted acne, blackheads or clogged pores can be challenging for women of all ages. In many cases, social situations can exacerbate the emotional toll acne takes and brings unwanted commentary.

A staggering 52% of women 18-24 have had a significant other or family member comment on their acne, blackheads, or clogged pores in a negative way. With the palpable pressure of having clear and photo-ready skin, women of all ages are willing to subject themselves to other burdens to avoid a very public breakout.

Acne and the Workplace

Women who suffer from acne, blackheads or clogged pores also struggle with nerves and feelings of anxiety in the workplace, potentially putting their professional reputation and future at risk.

36.6% of women admitted to feeling nervous or anxious going into a job interview or big presentation because of their acne. The nerves increase even more for younger women, with 40.6% of women 18-24 admitting the same feelings of anxiety.
52.4% of women who have had someone close to them comment on their acne in a negative way also admitted to having felt nervous or anxious going into a big presentation or job interview.

A Financial Blemish

Whether it’s taking a pay cut at work or shelling out $100 a month, the prospect of achieving clear skin can drive women to sacrifice well-earned money.

Of women 18-34 who said they would be willing to take a pay cut for six months to have clear skin, 57.9% would be willing to pay $100/month for 10 years ($12k) to guarantee their skin would be cleared of any acne, blackheads or clogged pores for life.
20.5% of women would be willing to pay $100/month for 10 years ($12K) to guarantee their skin would be cleared of any acne, blackheads or clogged pores for life. That number jumps to 26.4% for women 18-24.

We love seeing your happy smiling faces! You look gorgeous @makaeup! #curologyjourney

When Anti-Aging and Acne Collide

Women don’t have the luxury of staying focused on preventing and treating their acne as they’re often seeking ways to also slow or prevent the process of aging.

25.2% of women 25-44 admitted to simultaneously using products to slow or prevent skin aging AND products to treat acne, blackheads and clogged pores.

How to end resentment towards your partner and have better sex

March 14, 2017 No Comments

Do you hope for a better sex life? Are you no longer attracted to your partner? If yes, you may be carrying emotional resentment in your body. Energy Healing Educator & Program Developer Natalie Nelson uses her new Body Code expansion “Resonating Relationships: The Energy of Romance” to identify and heal the issues that are shutting you down and turning you off to your partner.

Is Resentment Making Your Partner Less Attractive to You?

True intimacy between partners takes trust and mutual feelings of safety. Holding onto past emotional traumas, however, can block us from being open to giving and receiving love. Some example sources of emotional trauma include:

Infidelity, whether from your current partner, a previous one or even from what you witnessed with your parents
Experiencing abuse, whether as a child or an adult
Witnessing abuse as a child or adult
Death of a partner or any other loved one

“These are just some of the traumas people experience that begin to shut us down when it comes to love,” according to Natalie. “And from there, resentment can build between partners… resentment over mismatched sexual desire, money issues, parenting disagreements and more.”

When she found herself in a failing marriage, Dr. Brad’s daughter Natalie Nelson—an integral part of this thriving family business—became inspired to create the “Resonating Relationships” to help those in challenging relationships to heal themselves so they could show up more fully and openly in their partnership.

“Resonating Relationships” is made up of two parts: an evaluation guide and a session guide. During the evaluation portion, people answer a series of questions that pull personal details about their past and their experience of love and relationships into the conscious mind. In the session portion, the practitioner uses The Body Code (which includes The Emotion Code) to address and heal specific disharmony as it relates to relationship issues manifesting within the body.

“Having struggled in relationships myself and seeing a lot of people I know struggle in their relationships,” says Natalie, “I got really frustrated because I believe it shouldn’t be so difficult. So much of the reason why we struggle is because there are things going on inside of us that we’re just not aware of. We’re all just kind of feeling around, blindly trying to find some kind of balance in our relationships. With ‘Resonating Relationships,’ you can identify specific issues that you may never have honed in on before and bring them into consciousness. It taps into things that, for most people, have largely been unexplored.” For more information visit DrBradleyNelson.com and EmotionCode.TV.

Money is one of the most common topics couples argue about, but there may be more to it than meets the eye. Natalie Nelson, Energy Healing Educator & Program Developer for HealersLibrary.com, is here to give the scoop on how to keep money from ruining your relationship. Nelson, who is the daughter of renowned holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of the bestselling book The Emotion Code and creator of The Body Code healing system believes some people don’t believe they can have both love and money, while others struggle with self-worth issues that lead to both money and relationship problems. This comes in the form of emotional baggage.

Experts agree that talking about your feelings around money and finances is the key to keeping it from becoming a relationship killer, but how?

Nelson recommends seeking to understand how your conflict resolution style impacts your relationships. The following sample questions you can ask and answer from her “Resonating Relationships” assessment – number each from 1 to 5 (with 1 being what most describes you) to determine your primary conflict resolution style:

What is your typical conflict resolution style?

Avoiding ___
Accommodating ___
Competing ___
Compromising ___
Collaborating ___

If you are in a relationship, have your partner also assess his or her style. “Our conflict resolution style impacts all our relationships,” Natalie says. “ Work toward always being a collaborator.”

How to find and maintain a productive romantic relationship - advice from Natalie Nelson

With Valentine’s Day coming up, a new assessment tool to help people find if they resonate romantic energy, or are being held back by emotional baggage is available. Natalie Nelson, Energy Healing Educator, Program Developer and daughter of renowned holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson is here to give insight to why people seeking healthy romantic relationships are being held back from love and how to move forward in a productive relationship.

Resonating Relationships: The Energy of Romance

To help people who are struggling to find or sustain loving relationships, Natalie Nelson and her company HealersLibrary.com have created a new guide to healthy relationships titled Resonating Relationships, specifically to help people discover and get rid of the emotional baggage that can sabotage love, romance and healthy, lasting relationships.

“Having been in several relationships and struggled, and seeing alot of people who I know just totally struggle in their relationships, I got really frustrated with all of that because I think it shouldn’t be so difficult,” she says. “And I think that so much of the reason why people struggle is because there’s just things going on that they’re just not aware of. That’s part of the reason why I created this guide.”

How family history and traumas affect our ability to give and receive love
How to use visualization to find what you want and need in a partner
How to identify negative connections with others you must cut to heal and move on.

Valentine’s Day: Love & Money quiz – How do you score?

January 19, 2017 No Comments

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and Fromgirltogirl has tips for how couples can boost their financial as well as their emotional and physical intimacy from two-time New York Times bestselling author and financial security expert Pamela Yellen. Read below:

Greater Communication & Trust Around Money = More Intimacy

Couples who improve their communication around finances are more likely to have better sex, as Pamela notes in this Chicago Tribune column. Having spent years conducting research and surveys on how money affects relationships, Pamela shares these statistics:

Financial stress causes problems in almost 70% of relationships.
31% of respondents said they have kept spending secrets from each other
Almost half of couples never discussed finances before committing to the relationship
Arguments about money can throw a wet blanket on sex lives
20% of couples say they would have sex more frequently if they had more money

Pamela’s tips to help couples improve their communication around money

Recognize that money is an emotional issue: Choose a time when you’re both relaxed and not rushed to start talking about money issues.
Regularly discuss finances together: Set goals together, and track your progress.
Agree on how to divide your money: Topics to cover include individual discretionary spending, household expenses, retirement savings, and extended family responsibilities.
Avoid taking on too much debt: Instead of constantly talking about the burden of your debt, focus on your financial goals — where you’d really like to be, and how you’ll get there. Facing your debt as a team can actually strengthen your relationship.
Never engage in financial infidelity – If you haven’t been fully honest regarding finances, now is the time to clean it up! Begin by stating “Our relationship is important to me, so I want to make sure we have a foundation of honesty about our finances.” No matter what comes up, stay calm, and avoid judgment, and focus on positive solutions.
Understand and acknowledge your different spending habits – Seek to understand rather than correct each other. If something in your partner’s attitude bothers you, tell him how you feel and why. See if you can find compromise.

Do men like when women make the first move?

December 26, 2016 No Comments

Should women make the first move for dating?

It’s a question contemplated time and time again: should women make the first move when it comes to dating and relationships? Do men wait for women to make the first move? The dating site Cupid.com polled 891 single men to find out what men think about first moves from women. Here is what men really think:

The poll results are shocking to Fromgirltogirl. Often growing up women learn from fathers and other male figures to wait for a guy to make the first move and instead invite/ welcome him to get to know you better. Have the rules changed? Or have they always been this way? We would love to hear from women who have made the first move and entered a long-term relationship or better yet a marriage that started with you as the woman making the first move. Rarely have we’ve seen relationships that started with the woman pursuing the man successfully go for the long haul. We feel that a man who truly wants a woman will find the encourage not only to pursue her but also show her he is a man worthy of her time and effort in a health relationship. Curious how many women feel being less mysterious to draw a man in really is a great strategy for finding true love. Can you find true love on Cupid.com? Will the guy you’ve eyed in the coffee shop say yes to date night if you make the first move? Only time will tell. Like Fromgirltogirl on Facebook and let us know your thoughts on the topic.

How to stop ghosts of Christmas past from ruining your holidays

November 15, 2016 No Comments

The holiday season is a time people try to come together for joyful celebration with loved ones in a way that feels loving and positive for all. However, a recent study shows that well more than half —about 61%—anticipate arguments and contention during the holidays. Holistic physician, lecturer and author of the bestselling book, “The Emotion Code,” Dr. Bradley Nelson helps people to let go of unhelpful emotions from the past so they can enjoy the company of loved ones in the present.

Are the Ghosts of Christmas Past Ruining Your Holidays?

In the story “A Christmas Carol,” Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past who takes Scrooge on a tour of the parts of his life that have led to him becoming the angry, miserly man he is today. No matter who you are, you have past events that color emotional reactions in the present. These unhealed, often hidden “trapped emotions” can ruin your chances of living a healthy, happy life.

What parts of your past have contributed to unhealthy present ways of being?

“Do you ever feel that you are struggling under the weight of something that you can’t quite put your finger on?” asks Dr. Nelson. “Perhaps your life is not turning out how you had hoped. Perhaps your attempts to form lasting relationships never seem to work out. You may wish that certain events in your past had never occurred but feel powerless to move beyond them. You may even have an uneasy feeling that your present is being held hostage by your past in some vague and indefinable way.”

Emotions you carry from upsetting things that you have experienced are your very own “Ghosts of Christmas Past.”
You can change your present moment by committing to a healthier, happier version of yourself. Those old “trapped emotions” can be released through Dr. Bradley Nelson’s Emotion Code.
Give yourself the promise of a better future by healing the past.

Dr. Bradley Nelson

About Dr. Bradley Nelson: Dr. Nelson has lectured internationally on the natural healing of chronic illness and successfully treated patients from across the US and Canada for more than 20 years. He has trained more than 2,000 practitioners worldwide on how to help people overcome unresolved anger, depression, anxiety, loneliness and other negative emotions and the physical symptoms associated them.
