		<description>I say keep the name, Jeff.  It&#039;s descriptive and catchy.  I don&#039;t find anything negative about the word &quot;seduction&quot; anyhow.  People seduce each other into love but are often completely oblivious to it.  Love, romance, courtship and seduction are all closely related.  I think people may well re-evalate their understanding of the word &quot;seduction&quot; and become more comfortable it after reading the blog.  There&#039;s a wider meaning to it they might not initially recognise.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Hey, how &#039;bout &quot;Wheel of Seduction&quot;? It&#039;s still a hub, but refers more to the zodiac wheel. Plus it&#039;s &quot;on a roll&quot; so to speak. :-)&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I think it boxes the blog in a bit much.  Like the emphasis is on the astrology element rather than the seductive, romantic compatibility element.  The blog is essentially down-to-earth and accessible and this should be reflected in its name.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Likewise with ...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;&lt;i&gt;    Rope the Moon&lt;br/&gt;    Courting the Stars&lt;br/&gt;    Celestial Soul&lt;br/&gt;    Sleeping with Venus&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Heh. I&#039;m addressing the issue in an entirely practical sense. People (not people already here) are going to take &#039;Seduction&#039; in a much darker sense than Jeff intends.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;No they&#039;re not; not after reading the blog for 10 seconds.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;seduction = manipulation&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;courting = stalking&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They are just the modern, knee-jerk reactions.  There&#039;s nothing necessarily devious about either.</description>

		<description>@Jeffrey&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;Culturally appropriate&quot; is an interesting way to evaluate the behavior. I can say without a doubt that it is, on at least a subcultural level, accepted as okay, because I was followed like this by men every time I went outside. The frequency with which it happened leads me to think that I didn&#039;t simply experience the behavior of one or two cultural deviants. I attend an internationally focused school and study the Middle East, and my fellow peers who have extensively traveled within that region find this behavior very common to those cultures. Turkish men are very forward and aggresive with their courting tactics on a very large scale. This is a country where honor killings still occur in the East. It&#039;s very patriarchal. To really answer your question, the answer is basically yes. Socio-economics have some effect on it within the country, but, in general, Turks are stalkers by American standards. This is still a generalization. My man is not like this at all, but he also refuses to let me call him Turkish. He hates everything about that culture, except the tea.</description>

		<description>Yo, Starry Night is my brand (for my astrology business) but I guess I can share.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I love the name &quot;Seduction Central&quot;. It grabs attention. Isn&#039;t that what you want? But if you are going for a SEO appropriate title (drive traffic and all) you might want to include a keyword, &quot;astrology&quot;, &quot;zodiac&quot;,etc.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But look at all the support you have here! Doesn&#039;t that show you&#039;ve brought a lot of people into your blog. If it ain&#039;t broke, don&#039;t fix it. As far as what other people think, educate them if they can&#039;t take a joke!</description>

		<description>Well, it depends on who is doing the courting.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I happen to lean towards &quot;stalker&quot; with my courting tendencies, and I have noticed I fit in well with the Turks....who taught me this style. An American would call it stalking when a man follows you home and waits for an hour outside your door for you to come back out again and then follows your for blocks and blocks asking your name and for your phone number.</description>
