Article: If you are younger than 27, the best states for marrying are Wyoming, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Idaho and Utah. If you are older than 30, try Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York, where they are older brides and grooms. In most states the average age is under 30. First marriage statistics tend to go down for men over 35, so take this into account when considering a change of location. A study conducted by the European Journal of Operational Research found the highest marriage success rate when the wife was five years younger than her husband. Though not a guarantee a younger woman is right for you, taking this into account while searching for your wife may improve your odds of a favorable union. A study of Facebook's data showed that 28 percent of married Facebook users found their spouses while attending college. The best colleges for men to find wives were Martin Luther College, Harding University and Faith Baptist Bible College. Other good choices included Stanford, Harvard, University of Georgia, Bowdoin College, University of Texas-Austin, Columbia, University of Chicago, Wellesley College, Vanderbilt and the Culinary Institute of America. In 2006, the New York Times reported that marriage rates were dropping for single men over 40 without college degrees. Women's high education rates may have led to fewer women marrying and expecting to be more economically dependent. A college degree may increase your likelihood of marriage. Many reports suggest that women are upwardly mobile and career-oriented will look for men who are similarly ambitious. Sites like itsjustlunch.com offer dating services for people who are busy and career-minded. Dating outside your social class can create many difficulties in a relationship, like causing you to feel insecure that you cannot afford her desired lavish lifestyle. A lack of shared life experience between you and your potential spouse can also cause friction.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Consider moving to a new state with favorable marriage trends. Try looking for someone who is slightly younger. Go to college, or go back to college. Look for someone in the same social class.
Article: You don't need to hit the pavement for a jog to build up your hips. Lie on your back with bent knees and feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your gluteus muscles by tightening your butt. Hold for five seconds and then release. Start with ten repetitions and every week increase by five until you can do thirty. Move your hips upward off the ground to tighten gluteus muscles. Do a similar pose to the above exercise. Lay on your back and move your hips off the ground upward while trying to keep your back on the ground. Hold this position for five seconds before lowering your hips back to the ground. Many hip injuries come from trauma, or an unexpected movement to which your muscles aren't accustomed. The more you increase and extend your muscle range, the stronger your hips will be and less likely to succumb to injury. While laying down, turn to the side, lift your leg up while lifting your upper body (both to 2530 degrees). Don't bend your body. Follow this with one minute's rest. Repeat this exercise in three sets of ten repetitions. Be mindful of your form. Compensating with your back or abs is a sign your hip muscles aren't quite strong enough for the exercise and repetitions should be decreased. Slowly extend your leg out to the side as far as you can without causing pain. Keep your inner thigh parallel to floor. After doing this ten times, switch sides and work the opposite leg. Do this controlled and with good form. Do not extend too far outward as this could cause an injury. Start slow and gradually extend your range. Runners can often be the first to suffer hip issues, but running can also be incredibly beneficial. Running uses all of your major muscles, particularly the gluteus, hamstrings, and quads. It allows the body to work muscles together in a natural way. Start by running short distances and gradually increase to push your body. Emphasize good form. This includes good posture and strides that don't cause unnatural leg movements. Try biking for a gentler hip exercise. This allows the hip muscles to naturally rotate and avoids much of the wear and tear of running. Cycling is particularly great for those getting back from an injury or suffering from issues like arthritis. Fold one leg and put the other leg on top of it. Bend forward while twisting your body to face your folded leg kneecap. Repeat it 10 times, and do with the other leg folded. Follow this with 10 seconds rest. Add a weight to intensify the exercises. Ankle weights add resistance and force you to work harder to stabilize your leg using muscles in your hips.

Start small and build hip muscles from bed. Extend your range of motion. Stretch your hips while standing up. Use cardio to keep hips strong. Use your legs to stretch hip muscles.
Article: Write down all the names you came up with, and then say them aloud. Introduce yourself as each one and think about how they sound to you. If you are having trouble deciding which names sound better than the rest, take some time away from the process and return to it in a day or so. The goal is to find one name you prefer above all the others, plus a couple of alternatives. With your preferred nicknames in mind, speak to those around you and see what they think. It can be difficult to get a nickname to stick if others do not like it. Ask friends to call you by your preferred nickname. If they seem game, the nickname is likely to stick. If they are not on board with the idea, it may be time to try one of your alternates instead. Now that you have found a nickname your friends are willing to call you, introduce yourself to others using it. Ask teachers and new employers to call you by it. Consider going by your nickname on social networking sites such as Facebook. Your new nickname will be cemented in no time.
