I think about 99% of the people in the world (myself included) would put beauty before personality. By this, I mean we don't want a relationship with people that we don't find physically attractive. Our brain produces dopamine when we are in a relationship (which gives us the feeling of adrenline rush, loss of appetite, and many other love sypmtoms), which can lasts up to about 12 years (or something like that).

Of course, most of us also want someone with an attractive personality along with the good looks. But since we fall for people who we think is beautiful (physically), then after thier beauty fades (as with age), so would our "love" feelings for them (logically speaking).

People do get attached to each other over time, but no matter how attached we are to someone, we won't have the same love feelings for them as we once did after thier beauty is gone. Since love is an attraction to beauty, and it would not last, then true "love" doesn't really exist then, right?

There's so much on my mind lately and for the past months now i have felt the biggest weight on me i have ever felt. I cry for what seems to be sometimes way long ago but i know can be small to people but has affected me so much! School doesn't make it any better and neither do my parents. They like communication between us but i can't talk to them. I just want to be left alone. I'm just waiting until i die. I live just because for no reason at all. I don't want to talk to people. I'm not really the easiest person to talk to when i feel like this though and i know that. And just knowing that i don't know what is wrong just doesn't help. I don't know what it is. But i just act like a normal person "happy" and "worry free", when in reality that's not what is going on in me. Its just the worst weight i have ever felt on me. A feeling so sad and a feeling of lonliness. I don't know where to go, who to go to, how to make it better. I feel hopeless.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for one year and I am looking for cute, personable ideas for a gift besides cooking dinner. We already live together and I cook for us all the time. Plus some of my cooking deals with wine, and since he has to buy it because I am underage, it would ruin the whole surprise.

My question is, what would be the best thing to get your bf of one year? He is into electronics, but he has every movie under the face of the earth,

He doesn't care for the crap that just lies around either. Gift cards are great but it takes a touch of personality out of it.

Any ideas would be great. I am looking for simple or totally out there ideas. I am on a budget of 75 dollars. Let me know!

quick 411... (try and stick with me here.. lol) my great grandmother got pregnant by a man-- whom we do not know.. had the baby (my grandmother).. my great grandmother married a man who in turn adopted my grandmother.. .. so my great grandfather is not my "real" grandmothers father.. my grandmother has since passed (although my great grandmother is still alive and taking the sercret to her grave) my mother is now turning 50 and would like to find out if her mother's (my grandmother) real father is listed on her birth certificate.. or if there are adoption papers that list his name... we are not sure how to go about doing this.. or if they will release the papers.. my grandmother is past so we think it may be possible... does anyone have any insight on this?????

My ex-boyfriend has been engaged to a girl for a couple years now but I'm not sure if he really wants to marry her.

We've started talking again lately and he was telling me about their plans. He said "If we do get married..." instead of "When we get married..." Does this mean he's having second thoughts? He's not really serious about marrying her?

He also told me he has changed from when we were together and has called me a couple times. Do you think I have a chance with getting back together with him? I broke up with him 4 years ago and regret it badly. I know he is engaged but I think we are a better couple. Thanks!

I’ve learned.....maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how birthdays you have celebrated.

I’ve learned.....its taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I’ve learned.....you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved; the rest is up to them.

I’ve learned.....no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.

I’ve learned.....it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.

I’ve learned.....either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I’ve learned.....its not what you have in your life but who you have in life that counts.

I’ve learned.....you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believe it.

I’ve learned.....you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do.

I’ve learned.....you can do something in an instant that which will give you heartache for life.

I’ve learned.....you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I’ve learned.....we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I’ve learned.....heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I’ve learned.....sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I’ve learned.....sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I’ve learned.....no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I’ve learned.....it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you are to learn to forgive yourself.

I’ve learned.....no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learned.....our background and circumstances may have influence on who we are, but we are responsible for what we become.

I’ve learned.....just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. And just because they don’t argue doesn’t mean they do.

I’ve learned.....we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I’ve learned.....even when I have pain, I don’t have to be one.

I’ve learned.....credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I’ve learned.....the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon. Cherish and appreciate them now.

I’ve learned.....regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.

I’ve learned.....its hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up to what you believe.

I’ve learned.....life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I’ve learned.....making a “living” is not the same thing as making a ”life.”

I’ve learned.....we are born with two eyes in front because we must not always look behind but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves. We are born with two ears, one left and one right, so that we can hear both sides, collect both the compliments and criticisms. We are born with a brain concealed in a skull, then no matter how poor we are, we are still rich and no one can steal what our brain contains. We are born with two eyes, two ears but one mouth for the mouth is a sharp weapon. It can hurt, flirt and kill: remember our motto --- talk less, listen and see more. We are born with only one heart, deep in our ribs and it reminds us to appreciate and give love from deep within. Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance, but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what can be seen, but what that cannot be seen. Real love life is not in what is done and known, but in what that is done but not known.

A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with a heart condition and they gave me some pills for my headaches. Since then my mom has been asking for my pills when she has a headache and made me give one to my sister. I have a limited number of refills and only 30 pills in a bottle. I have refrained from taking a pill because I get close to running out. She said that if I didn't give her some then next time she wouldn't get them refilled or she would tell the doctor that I didn't need them. I don't know what to do since she is the one that pays for them, but I don't want the doctor to wonder why I am taking so many. What should I do?

I'm writing a few books and I'm trying to do research on Random things. One of the topics is: A Guy's Mind.

What do guys normally think of [besides sex]?

When they see something [name that something] what do they think of it?

I know it might sound stupid, but it's a pretty fun project. Just random facts and Did you Know(s) would make for interesting reading material.

People who I know & those I don't know-They don't like me, they look at me like I'm a germ & I'm extremely attractive, smart-I'm a teacher (The parents at my job dont like me much) but I dont have friends, my dad even left when he found out my mom was pregnant with me, my step-sisters HATE me, the people on my job (my bosses and co-workers) cant stand me. Ive never had a boyfriend because guys for some odd reason never find ME attractive & Im PRETTY! Then everything I try to do successfully-never works out for me. I wrote a novel & tried to get an agent--I contacted 81 agents-all of them said no. I cant get into film school-because for some odd reason the admissions director wont respond to my calls requesting for an application! I feel like I'm cursed & that I don't belong here on Earth with everyone else. I feel like I'm unwanted here and that makes me want to cry & I'm only 22! Can someone tell me why is all this happening to me and why are people reacting that way towards me?

I was wondering why down there before I ever did anything it was nice a pretty and pink. Now i'm getting worried, it is starting to turn dark color, almost purple. I've heard that if you are active for a while, it will eventually change shape and color. It won't longer be nice and pretty. Is that so?
