I am not a naturally a visual person ... I mean everybody is to some extent so I think with practice I should be able to get good at visualization. I have a really hard time picturing objects in my head although I have been practicing for the last week. I always see a black (blank) background whenever I try to visualize something and whenever I try to create a whole scene I am often zoomed in on the most important part that I am focusing on at the time. Any tips?

I am stressed and I need to cry, but I cannot. I have not cried for long. How can I bring my tears down? What do you do in such a situation?

Could/would you give up some of our privileged lifestyle?

NOTE: There is no 'proof' of this... there are lots of indications it may be or the OPPOSITE may be true... Consumerism may be bettering lives 'over there'.

I always have frustrating dreams. Sometimes about things that bother me, sometimes just about work nonsense, sometimes scary. Basically my anxiety likes to take control. Is there any way to control our dreams? I mean how great would it be if I could dream about lying on a beach with Jensen Ackles or some other hunk?

What exactly? Why do we crave it? Need it? Obsessed with it? It's delicious... but why? What exactly about human chemistry makes us willing to devour our fellow partner's anatomy?

I just feel like nobody will care about me as much he did. But things went wrong and I lost him. It was long painful story. I am so depressed but I have nobody to cry about lost love. It's hurts being a lone without somebody who would do something special for me like take me to fancy restaurant. And I 'd buy him a nice shirt or pants to wear. Now all the clothes I buy, I have to give to my brothers.

Is it wrong to contemplate life, a lot? The world you live in. Soceity? This is something I think about quite a bit. Just how people are and what we are.What's wrong with us! Why can't it be like this?Appreciate that? Love that person you said you did? Integrity, virtue, all these things. You know what saying? I try not to let this consume my every being and every thought! But I never really stop thinking about it...ever. Its always in the back of my mind tucked away.Just that constant thought of...LIFE! Is that weird?

This actually hurts our relationship sometimes. After a successful romp, she's very loving and affectionate. Lately she's had additional pressures causing stress in her life and her success rate reaching climax has dropped to around half the time. Sometimes when this happens she withdraws from me emotionally and remains frustrated and sad for up to 12 hours or so. Is this something I should be concerned about, or should I just be okay with it?

Phrases such as "women and children first" imply that the lives of all children and one gender are more important than the lives of all men.
Responders in GWS will often write about things like having to work to support women and children, and having to go to war for women and children. When they are discussing male "superiority," or what it is "men do", versus what it is that "women do," these two things are often mentioned. As a culture, or generally speaking, does western society still believe "women and children first?" If so, how is it shown? If not, why not?

Does no one remember the feminist uproar following Newt Gingrich's sexist statements about women in combat?

Aren't the majority of politicians responsible for such legislaton, men?

Are you who blame feminists for this inequality aware of feminist opposition to it?

Like a lot of little girls- I had one, but I don't remember ever thinking of her as imaginary. A part of me wishes I still had one.
1- Is this terribly weird?
2- If I did decide to seek her in my imagination again- is it ever possible to believe she was real like before?

In the spirit of equality....here goes....
1. Do you experience other people paying for your dates, or occasionally even picking up the tab in non-romantic settings? Or paying for your vacations when the relationship moves along?
2. Do you occasionally experience subservience and deference being volunteered to you by the opposite sex (opening doors, giving up a seat in the bus, standing up when you come in the room)?
3. Are you able to pursue what you are interested in at university without much societal pressure on "breadwinning" - although you could also take that route if it so interests you?
4. Have you never been required to register for selective service? Would you never be ripped out of your life and forced to defend your country in time of attack or national emergency? Can you demand strength and full participation in society, but then get out of this obligation by pretending to be weak with no influence over society (but only when it suits you)?
