How To Tell If Your Girlfriend’s a Psycho
Watch the How to Tell If Your Boyfriend is a Psycho "companion" video to this one featuring the same characters. I found it funny how the things they tell a woman to do are the same things a man would see as red flags for crazy. Watch them both and you'll see what I mean, there's a lot of advice that seems counter-intuitive.

How To Decode a Dude Based on His Sex Style
Shouldn't you try to find out who someone is BEFORE you have sex with them? Just saying. Otherwise, good video.

How To Stay Safe on Campus
Another safety tip: Always carry a small flashlight. If you can see trouble before it is upon you, you are less likely to walk right into it. Plus, the light itself can be used to blind or bludgeon a would be assailant thus assisting your escape or counter attack.

I liked the advice on blackout curtains and the cool little flip flair with the cell phone near the end. Good video.

How To Prepare an Emergency Kit For Your Car
I would recommend also adding a tire repair kit including tire plugs, a reamer, plug tool, tire pressure gauge, a manual tire inflation device (example: foot pump) and/or an electric one (carrying both would provide more driver safety should one fail), and even a can of tire flat fixing substance should you need a quick patch. The last option is a "last ditch measure" to get you from point A to point B (preferably, point B being a tire replacement center). If you live in a particular climate, you may also want to pack a folding shovel or hatchet depending on the terrain you frequent or will be traveling through or near. I hope this helps.

How To Interpret Body Language
Reading body language is a highly subjective matter and thus much of the information given in this video is somewhat incorrect. In the book What Every Body Is Saying, author Joe Navarro, former FBI Agent and skilled interrogator makes a case for body language as a tool for identifying stress and comfort and the possibility of deception or truth, but not necessarily the actuality because each person is different. In another book, Crime Signals by author David Given, Ph. D, it is stated that certain body language to look for is anything "anomalous" or out of the ordinary as this could be signs of something about to happen. For example, a person who follows closely behind another with a forward crouched posture and hands slightly forward may be about to try and pickpocket or rob the person in front. On normal occasion, people generally tend to respect certain unspoken personal space limitations and do not reach out for objects that do not belong to them, thus "a criminal will usually give away their intentions well before action through body language." In both books, references to the limbic brain, or section of our brain that dates back to a more primitive era that controls gross motor functions, is stated to be near impossible to control because we give off micro-gestures, even when trying to hide a lie. The information in this video may be true in some certain situations but the situation has to be taken in context with an established "baseline" of that person(s) behavior to know whether or not stress or comfort and possible deception or truth are being displayed. I hope this helps. :)

How To Read People’s Minds
The body language information is somewhat incorrect because body language reading is highly subjective and many factors can affect a person and cause them to do any of the actions noted due to either comfort or stress. When a person, for example, touches a part of their body, it is usually a pacifying gesture used to make them more comfortable and could be a sign of some apparent stress. Hope this helps.

How To Stay Safe in a Big City
I would like to know which experts recommended avoiding eye contact as many self defense experts would advise you to make eye contact to send the message that you "SEE" the other person. Often, a lack of confidence can be displayed by not looking at another person in the eyes and criminals may use the stare test to see if you are a good target. If you are not looking at them and they are looking at you, you are less safe because you are less aware of the threat. I would recommend looking the possible assailant right in the eye and making a verbal defense. A criminal, as stated in your own words, is less likely to attack someone who is more confident in their stride and movement. "Bad guys" go for easy targets (path of least resistance) and if you exude a vibe of not being one, they will likely leave you alone. Also, instead of yelling for help, it is recommended by safety experts that you instead yell "FIRE!" because it creates a higher level of concern (If you need help, it's only your problem. If you shout FIRE, it could mean that it is also someone else's problem, i.e. the person who could help you. It's a little bit of psychology, but it works.). I liked the part about public transportation and crossing the street into a business if you believe you are being followed.

How To Train Yourself To Be on Time
I would recommend a combination of wearing a watch and using a cell phone. The phone is more likely to run out of battery or fail than most watches, but having a redundant time keeping system on or near you at all times is better than being late. Good video.

How To Save on School Supplies
Just a note here, Dollar Stores often sell items like paper and notebooks for more than a retail store like Wal-Mart, Target, etc. You may be able to find good deals in prices, but if the quality of the product you purchase suffers and you have to use more of the product to make up for the lack of quality, such as a set of ink pens that don't work or pencils that are poorly made; you may be better off going with something your child can really use, abuse, and get the full life out. Teaching your child how to shop and locate deals that are not "too good to be true," and real life lessons will go well farther than just buying cheap school supplies. This is not to say that you should spend inordinate amounts of money on name brands, but rather to say you should buy what works for you. For example, if you use certain brands of ink pens at your job on a daily basis and love (or hate them) then you can make the educated guess that your child may love (or loathe) them as well and from that experience, you can purchase what you KNOW works. Hope this helps.
