Social Science - 22 January 2007

About a year ago a very close friend/coworker of mine raped me. I was drunk and barely remember anything(i thought of him as a brother so i trusted him a lot, hes been to my house a lot of times and even slept over like twice before the incident) , after that day he only talked to me three more times & never called me again. That day he asked me to be w/ him & i told him i only liked him as a friend. He had a girlfriend who was on vacation at the time & i had told him that he had to tell her. A year later im still recovering from that day but sometimes @ vulnerable times i feel like calling him (i still have his house number & his brothers number), but i dont know what i would say. Sometimes it even scares me bc i want to be friends w/ him again & ive even thought about dating him but to me the idea sounds crazy bc ill never be the same again after what he did to me. Why am i getting these wierd stupid ideas, i dont feel a normal person would fantasize about that? Whats wrong with me?

He tells a lot of stories that are just weird. Like he said he was hired to take pictures of the sunset in Monterey but didn't bother to leave until it was dark. Or he says he saw an old college professor of ours and had a conversation with him about how we are dating. I haven't seen my professor in four years and I don't think he even knows my name, let alone who I'm dating! He also said in junior high his class watched the porn "Behind the Green Door." I am a teacher and I know that they don't show porn to kids in school! Why would he lie about such stupid things? When I say he I don't believe him he says "I don't give a s*it if you believe me or not." Or he gets mad and says "Suck my d*ck."

Have you seen these signs before? I am thinking of confronting him and telling him that he has a problem.

Pit bulls attack people. Even their owners and babies. They aren't brave, just stupid. Shephards are brave. Pit Bulls have never been used as service dogs to save people or help the blind.

If a person is like the dog they own. I feel that a pit bull owner must exhibit the lack of qualites that the pit bull represents. Who argees?

This question is not meant to be bigoted, just based on personal experience. I've noticed that females tend to have a harder time working together than males. In my experience in ROTC and some of my jobs, it seems that all women in groups become undermined by gossip, petty feelings, and drama. While these things can happen in any group, it just seems like they are more prevalent with more females whereas male groups just tend to get the job done. Is this true or just anecdotal? Has there been any scientific studies on this phenomenon? I would appreciate a female's perspective.

My ex lied to me and I caught him. It was bad enough to be extremely angry at him. What he did has caused us to not speak and I am so angry. He did apologize, but I feel he was sorry he got caught. I have left him alot of messages yelling, crying and yelling again. I know its sounds horrible, but beleive me, he deserves every word I said to him. We never ever fought almost two years we were together. Its been some time and I still call him to yell at him. I cant let it gooo!!! It bothers me alot, yet he avoids me. Do you think what I h ave said is making him think about it. I feel he is ashamed now?? Do you think it hasgotten to him? He has defintly gotten to me and I will admit it. He hurt me very badly!! As much as I should let it go and me doing this is him getting the best of me, can what I have sid to him gotten to him??? I want him to understand its not right what he did.

I have so much respect for housewives, especially the ones with more than one child. My wife and I for example, have 2 little boys and a baby girl...All three are not even old enough to be in school yet. I work 2 (40 hour) jobs so my contribution at home is very little unfortunately. I see what she goes thru, it's hell, but she does it...(feed the kids, clean the house, constantly pick up after the kids, break up fights, pay the bills, wash clothes, etc etc etc, nonstop). There are no two 15-minute breaks and 1/2 hr lunch for her...she eats on the fly... I can honestly say that she works harder than me even with my 80 hour work weeks. So where do people get off thinking they work less, or that it's less important? Maybe it's just me but i have lots of respect for wives that choose to stay home and raise kids....it's WORK!

So I really want to apply to this store- I can see myself totally fitting in... although I know thieir pool of applicants is small- I know I have the skills.. even if I dont have the "references" or the "experience" I have lots of other expericne to make up for it. The problem is that I know some kids who work there who know me already- and they may be insecure and spread rumors.. It may effect my outcome of being employed- becuase they already are and I would like to be. But I just recentally am building my confidence to go in there and ask if they are hiring.. Do you think I even have a chance? Its a pretty "ideal" setting for a job- very image associated. I know I can fit into the image- but do you think they would feel I would be trying to hard?

If suddenly scientists...say in caltech, cuz they are doing experiments in neural modelling...invent a device that connects to your brain, and you can 'see' how others solve problems...say math geniuses solve math problems, rubics geniuses solve the rubics cube...and you instantly 'seeing' HOW really they do it....thus learning instantly... If things like going to the office become only through virtual worlds...where you go to office virtually and then 'wake' up in your home--if you could get food sensations (and just eat a pill) and sex-yeia, and thrill rides....through 'neural injections' ? (there is a study in caltech that explains how a computer sends to the remote 'human' sensor, information of an object...say, a baseball moving in the air...and the person can not only 'feel' the object with touch....but 'sense' its motion...kind of like telepathically 'sensing' the object) How would this have implications for mankind? The economy? Goverment? The life process? reproduction?food?

See, I could answer this question myself, but I need some help from both sexes. I'm a little socially awkward, I guess--I have a bf, but I've never had TOO much experience with guys as "the opposite sex". To me, guys are just like girls--I've always tried to befriend and treat everyone equally, regardless of gender.

But I've been second-guessing myself lately because sometimes my friendliness (and honestly, it really is just me being friendly) winds up in trouble. One time a guy spread rumors about me to another male friend that I had a crush on him, and so that friend chose to avoid me from that point. I had that happen to another guy as well.

Recently, I have felt weird around another acquaintance because I don't know how to act around him and don't want him to think I have a crush on him. I guess I'm just second-guessing my actions all the time because I don't want guys to think I have crushes on them when I don't. Is that weird?

Why can't guys and girls just be friends?

Anyways, I am wondering if I should get out of this relationship (we have a child) before my self esteem and sanity, go right out the window. He is always "forgetting" what I ask or say to him, yet he will remember anything to do with sexual activity.
He never listens to me unless the word sex in it, otherwise Im talking to a brick wall.
The only thing that will send his temper through the roof (and he will make me look like the bad guy) is if you refuse to have sex with him, anything else doesnt even come close.
When I was 8 months pregant, he tried to kill me by strangulation (he makse it sound less serious than it was) I gave him a second chance (i know stupid), to this day he doesnt show any remorse for it, he just says "sorry" with no real emotion.
Looking back for the last 3 years, I have realised that I wasnt ever happy,just "rolling over"....I want out, I have told him and he threatens to take my son away. I dont know what to do, cause I am a stay home mom.
