Why are we here?

Is it fate?

Is it just because reproduction?

Is there a purpose? or we just need survival?

Ok so hopefully u all have listened to Usher's song "yeah"; if not then just listen to it on my page. Cool song aye? Well I think it is interesting, but the most facinsating part in it that is

" we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed to say"

A cultured and polite and nice and femininie woman who is "nice" to walk along right?? And then who is dominant , knows what she wants and gets what she wants in bed... or the man gets what he wants ???

Our society puts pressure on women to "perform" for the man, but does she get anything in return. Or if she is too frisky then "may be she is a b*#@%" or do man like a woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it....

Some men , however, may think otherwise, no??

wats the message. Well there are mixed messages.

hey ladies lets start the conversation.....ummm men join in pliz

Anyone??

What I notice (in my limited experience) that there seems to be less males around than females. This seems to be the case at all age groups. For example in my school I see more girls on campus than boys. I have four living grandparents so sometimes can observe senior citizens. Its the same there. Are there an equal number of boy babies born to girl babies? Maybe I am just imagining it (hope I spelled that right). I also read a news article once that said the male Y chromosone is dying out and someday there will be no more boys born. I hope that's not too soon because I kind of like boys lol lol. Oh once I asked a question about that and was told that it wont happen for 100,000 years or more but what happens if its speeded up like all the junk food that males like might speed their demise (just kidding) If its true what can be done to even the numbers?

I was just wondering if anyone found these women to be ugly. Everyone has their own ideal of attractiveness, but we also agree to some extent.

This is not a joke, Too many of you are flaunting out of date ideals.
Take some time off and free yourself from freedom of speech.
Are you sure your always right.thank god your all so far away.

As a kid I asked if I was planned. Mom said no, she wanted to leave my Dad. The div. 2 yrs. later. She blatantly favors my older sister. They go on vacations, see and talk like friends etc. Even her kids are better.
Here's what I get: I lost weight, 15 lbs or so, which put me at 125-130 for 5ft 5in. She saw me in a bathing suit, said nothing.

Later at the neighbors ( I was dressed ) she brought up my weight. When the neighbor said I looked good, she had say "oh no she doesn't, she looks terrible etc.).
Why not say something before?

Because she has to criticize me every time I see her, preferably in front of others. She never says anything to my fat sister. If it's not my appearance then it's something else.

In Jan. she did it on the phone, I hung up. Everyone thinks I should call her. I think she should apologize.

If you had a friend that made you feel bad about yourself whenever you talked to them, would you still be friends with them?

Am I wrong?

i've been working at my new job for a good 4 months now, and i've made friends with most of the other workers, but there's one guy who i just can't seem to find a common ground with. i don't think he's a bad guy, but we just keep misunderstanding eachother. i'll say somthing friendly to him and he takes it the wrong way and vice versa. i sense that he's getting frustrated with me and i wish i knew of a way to make our working together more pleasant. any suggestions would be awsome.

Do you think the high expectations of the wedding industry have turned women into demanding b*tches on their big day?

(Work at a fine dining establishment that caters to big weddings).

Why do people say "I need to change my life etc.etc." but never make the change? Do they just enjoy you saying you should, you can do anything you want? You're great? They do it over and over again but yet change never happens, Do they just need a phsycological boost? What's the deal? The people who make the changes in life never say they're going to they just do it. As opposed to those who always say they need to change and never do. Why?

Really... guys asking how to attract girls, prurient inquiries, but nothing about feminism, women's spirituality, Women's music... I haven't looked through the past weeks, but saw nothing here right away.

Maybe it's not really about women's studies.
