Lance Armstrong – Like Professional Career Deep down in Relationship Mess - part 2
Somewhere in between his relationships he was seen dating Ashley Olsen who is fourteen years younger than him. He was spotted with Kate Hudson too. Well, he was seen hanging around with Matthew McConaughey who is branded as a womanizer so what else can be expected. He became arrogant and avoided the media but started twittering.
In 2008 Lance Armstrong met Anna Hansen through his charity work. The couple started dating in July 2008. Lance announced that his girlfriend Anna Hansen was pregnant with his child who was born in 2009 and his fifth child, a baby girl was born in Oct 2010. After undergoing chemotherapy for testicular cancer it was believed that he could no longer father children but he insisted that both these children were conceived naturally.
Lance Armstrong was one of the best sportsman/athlete the world has ever seen. Unfortunately he has no sportsman spirit to live life. He did not care about the wife who was there with him when he was fighting cancer nor the kids who adored him. His next relationship with Crow did not last longer and he was more than happy to plunge into a relationship with Hansen and even bore kids out of wedlock.
Lance Armstrong’s life appears like a scripted Hollywood story. This promising athlete who miraculously overcame the deadly cancer messed up his professional and personal life with unstable relationships, arrogance and drugs. The Boss or Big Tex as he was fondly nicknamed is an iron man with a feeble mind. Lance Armstrong once said: “A boo is lot louder than a cheer.”

Are designer labels really necessary to boost your self-image - part 4
The world is very materialistic and one can get pulled into spending beyond their means and bring unnecessary stress into their lives. In the area of dating, it is vital that you present a clear self-image of yourself and not of someone who is in conflict with yourself. It is very easy to woo and impress by buying your fiance or a date an expensive gift that you cannot afford. However, the truth is that you need to remain in check with your current standing in financial matters. If you do desire the luxurious brands but don’t have the means, then why not look for ways of improving your income so that you will be able to afford these items. If you are finding that you are very controlling of your finances, it is possible that you will end up with a few friends. You may also find yourself trying to scrounge money from others rather than sharing and spending it fairly. People like these are digging a hole for themselves.
Whatever categories you belong to, the idea of self-image can determine one’s personality. It would be incorrect to determine exclusively someone’s self-image based on the clothes or their material possessions. What is more important is how they view money and the balances and checks they have with respect to the money and the people they care.

(2) You have the financial means to spend on those items, and you do so without reservation
In this category, you could end up being a playboy if you are a male. If you are a female, you may be labeled as a spoilt brat with too much money than sense. Again, both males and females can abuse their position and become too attached to the materialistic aspects of the world. To attract the right kind of partners, one has to be balanced with their spending habits just like in category (1) above. If you are sensible with your money and your desire is for the finer aesthetics in life, then you need not worry about giving off the correct self-image. If your desire is to please others then you may need to look into your yourself and analyze and question where you stand. It is often the qualities that you possess as an individual which have no bearing on what you wear or buy that determines the longevity of a good and healthy relationship.
(3) You have ample money but you don’t show it
You probably know of the story by Charles Dickens called ‘‘Scrooge’ where a rich accountant counts every penny and lives a sorry life until he finally wakes up to his mistakes. Please make sure you don’t fall into this category, since this could be one of the most disliked self-images that anyone can possess. There are so many people who are struggling to make ends meet but here is an individual who has large amounts of money but spends very little on himself or on others. The quality of relationships are based on empathy and one who is balanced with their way of spending is more likely to succeed.

Buying luxury items for the sake of looking good can echo a self-image that is not in line with your character. It is possible that many people will look at these people as being superficial rather than having any depth. Many do so with the aim of attracting the opposite sex however, it has to be done with a balance. If one is able to afford the clothes, car and any other luxury items without having to over stretch themselves financially then it will be reflected in their personalities. You need to consider which of the below categories that you belong to that says much about your personality.
(1) You have a tendency to overspend on designer labels and names.
It is possible that you have an infatuation for looking good and representing an image that is more on the surface than what lies underneath. You may be able to attract the people that you want initially but the long-term projection of your relationships will not look good. Think about it for a moment, if you are a man and you wan’t to attract that sassy looking lady then your chances of keeping that woman will be slim. She naturally thinks that this is your own weak self-image and you are trying to be a different person to who you really are. Once she finds that out, you will be dismissed but not on the basis that you can’t afford the expensive products but more because you have a weak self-esteem. Some men in this category will have success in wooing many women but they will inevitably end up with women who were wooed for those superficial reasons in the first place. Keep in check your spending habits and you can be far more attractive and attract the right kind of individuals without trying to distort your self-image.
