    If only a relationship was as easy as selling a product...

    -Intelligent. I love discussing religions and philosophies and politics and works of fictions across various media. -I love languages, but I'm very shy so if I can say "Hauska tutustua!" it means I'm comfortable enough around you to attempt to speak Finnish :P -I have varied taste in music, so...

    Metal/gothic/hardcore acts with female lead singers

    Nightwish (my favorite), Within Tempation, Evanescence (too gloomy for me), Paramore would fit too though personally I'm not a big fan ("crushcrushcrush" is a good song though). There was Theatre of Tragedy- their song "Rose for the Dead" is usually credited to Nightwish even though the vocals...

    Decent Guys Who Sort of Act Nice But Still Kind of Act Like Jerks Without Being Wimpy

    Or any other way of looking at...size... ahem. Women like confidence. Men like confidence. Confident men aren't afraid to tease in a friendly way. Unconfident men take this the wrong way and try to be too nice to the point where it's a tad creepy. Relationships with confident men end...

    Decent Guys Who Sort of Act Nice But Still Kind of Act Like Jerks Without Being Wimpy

    Most women don't love jerks. They like guys who are confident and can flirt. Of course, once the relationship doesn't work out, the guy is always a "jerk". Never the girl, noooo! So the "nice guys" always want to go out with the girl anyway and automatically hate the other person she's...

    Christian wants to marry an atheist?

    It is indeed hard to find Christian men who don't expect women to be "submissive", if not some type of doormat. What your friend wants is respect. In the Church as we know it, women aren't held to the same high esteem as men. It's the girls who do the abstinence pledges to their fathers...

    I don't trust women.

    Thanks, everyone. I think I should say something though, to clarify. I've noticed some people saying "but PL's a teenager!" and "women are different from high school girls!" While both are true, they're not entirely so in this case. I've received unwarranted comments from women of all ages...

    male wrestler refuses to wrestle girl

    At first I thought this was about violence against women- while wrestling isn't inherently violent it could look that way and the guy did not want to wish to harm the girl. Though it seems that he was wishing to avoid appearing to sexually assault the girl. Wrestling can also look a bit...

    Female bodybuilders: Why the double standard?

    People are conditioned to expect soft, curvy women.

    I don't trust women.

    If you're still in touch with your roommate, tell her that Macy's, Pac Sun, and Aéropostale carry 00... though they're out of my price range (I can't afford $50 jeans!) maybe she should look for some on sale? :sorry: It is hard to ignore people, especially when I seem to be the only common...

    I don't trust women.

    It's a bit hard to make different friends when a lot of these women weren't friends in the first place. I don't trust anyone with two X chromosomes to rub together to not criticize my weight. Though I have to admit I do agree with your assessment, which is indeed the point of this thread.

    I don't trust women.

    This isn't a romantic attraction thread, because as you all can tell I'm a heterosexual female. But I admit it probably doesn't make much sense. And maybe 'trust' isn't the right word, but it does explain some of how I feel and the title said "I don't like women" I'd get lots and lots of...

    Can Planned Parenthood be Trusted?

    Oh, please. More pro-life lies and propaganda. Planned Parenthood is NOT involved in sex trafficking. Their only crimes were NOT trying to anger pimps and get someone hurt or worse. "Former employees"? Which ones? Did they get fired for being terrible employees and then go straight to...

    Would you go out with someone who...

    Had kids? No. Was divorced? Nooooo. Smokes?No. Drinks? In moderation, yes. Uses drugs? No. Was not from your denomination? Depends. Was not a Christian? I can't exactly say I'm Christian, so yes. Was overweight? Slightly overweight, possibly. Has body odor? No. Dresses poorly? No...

    So, I have a question.

    As someone who's had Christianity forced on me after I became an atheist... it will not win souls to Christ. It will only drive people away. If you can be reasonable, and back everything that you're saying with Biblical evidence, and actually know the Bible, and you don't go on and on about...

    Don't we as a society abuse drugs in general?

    I think everyone in the US is addicted to caffeine on some level. It took a diagnosis of Tourettes for me to give it up to control my tics (it's also become a lot easier for me to manage my weight). I do believe that too many parents and doctors force medicines on kids too early, like cold...

    Do a brother and sister have a right to have a child?

    I think the "right to have a child" should be cut off at a certain point. Abusive or neglectful parents should not be allowed to have children. Being Jewish, black, or white is not inherently (physically) harmful (being Jewish or black comes with certain challenges of their own). Incest...

    Is Having Children a Right?

    Personally I'm all for parenting licenses- if two people can prove that they can provide a stable home for a child, emotionally and financially, they can reproduce or adopt. Sadly this will never be implemented because it will be used to discriminate against gay couples, black couples, atheist...

    Do you look your age ?

    Usually 13-14, sometimes as old as 17! It's shocking people can think I'm a whole 17 years old... and I'm 19 :(

    Things you try to avoid in your art/writing.

    That list sounds so strict, but generally that's what I try to avoid too. I only use sex, violence, cursing, etc. if it's important to the story. I never swear in the narration, unless a character is narrating. Only my characters are allowed to swear and only if their personalities permit it...

    Admit things you nerd out on or have in the past

    There are so many htings I nerd out on and don't realize when I admit to them. Harry Potter. Avatar (Last Airbender & Legend of Korra). Scandinavia and the World. Niels. Nightwish. Cats. The House of Tudor. Islamic dress. CF smileys :flatt: Psychology, particularly child psychology (guess...
