Social Science - 22 September 2006

For three or four months now, I have been going through some rough patches. A friend of mine commited suicide, I'm being blackmailed for a large amount of money, and I am in fights with my friends. I cry 3-4 times a day, and sometimes scream myself to sleep. My parents think I need to see a psychiatrist, since I can barely pay attention in school. What do you think?

I know there are differences between charms and charisma, but I'd like to ask which one is better for you and why. Thanks for sharing.

I am male, 23, in love with a chemistry professor who is in the early 30s in college. Do you think that I should confess that I have a feeling for her? Is it highly possible for female professors to see
male students as guys? my look is .........................normal in a good way. According to my sister, I look like......................a grandpa at KFC. It means NOT too bad right? the professor's look is SOOOOO cute and very attractive. Whenver she pronouces a long S sound in class, it makes me crazy.... I really want to hear your rational/standard/ordinary/accurate comment.

There are some people keeping marriages without any intercourse like hiv patients' spouse. I have seen one couple who
have not had any intercourse or sexual contact keep successful
marriages. They said their love was platonic. In addition a very famous writer(I am sorry I forgot the name) said that he had never had any sexual contact with his wife. but, they respected each other. what about you? Do you think that your marriage can continue without a intercourse? or those people not having any intercourse have a psycological problem/trauma? Not having intercourse crazy?

On some days, while answering questions, I give very reasonable, informative answers. On other days, I only give snide, sarcastic comments. Why is that?

When I say actual Christians, I mean people that actually follow their religion. Muslims follow their religion. Hindus follow their religion. Sikhs follow their religion. But today so many people that claim to be Christian don’t really follow their religion- they just call themselves Christians because of their heritage. I mean, Paris Hilton says she’s a Christian for godsake! Don’t you think this says something about the religious integrity of this country?

and to celebrate a recent engagement
It did not feel right for some reason.
They both ordered salads - cheap lunch if you ask me -
do you think they might think I cannot afford to take them out to lunch or they might think that is a suspicious gesture - which should not be-?

I'm getting old enough to start thinking about what I want to do with my life, and every new thing that I want to explore my mom won't take me seriously with and mocks me with bad jokes. I want to climb, I want to try dancing professionally, I want to try chocolate-making, I want to audition for more movies, I want to go on with my gymnastics and start competing professionally. But my mom WILL NOT take me seriously when I say these things and won't bother to help me get involved in these things. What can I do to get her to take me seriously about the things I want to do??

Why is it considered rude to stare at someone?

Obvious answers would be, "because it makes people uncomfortable," or "would you like people to stare at you?".. but I'm posing a serious question.

I've heard that it's a sign of aggression. I've also heard that people fear being read or understood. What's your take on it?

but nevertheless recommended me for a good job and I was hired.
I do not feel that taking her out to eat will be a good idea because we do not really know each other and do not have things in common.
I have sent her thank you cards and left a voice mail
but do you think a gift card to her fav. restaurant will be appropriate?

is it normal to cry a lot? When I'm super happy or surprised I cry. When i watch romance movies or movies like Schindler's List I cry. I cry from even reading books. Is this normal? I'm known for crying. If something we were to happen that is very good or very bad the first emotion that would come over would be tears.

The most popular question every guy thinks about.
So women, here is your chance to tell us what you really want.
Don't say we should already know, because all that means is that you don't know either.
I know for a fact that every guy would love to know because we would love to be able to please you in every was possible.

So give us a clue or tell us in detail.
We'd all really appreciate it.

Does anyone else feel that women supervisors, managers and other figure heads can be just as sexist and discriminatory as the men?
