Ok this is a follow up question to my last one. The answer is obvious for men because we need to be physically attracted to women to want to date them.

But for women who claim to like "personality" so much I have to wonder... if a guys personality is good enough for him to be your best friend....why isn't he good enough to date? This is what makes no sense to me. Whats that extra thing that needs to be there for him to be boyfriend material?

All women I've been friends with always ended up wanting to date me so I assumed women only befriend men they can see themselves dating later... hmmm

Lets say you meet a guy who you are not attracted to AT ALL.. a guy you would NEVER sleep with or date in 100 years. Would you still chat him up and be friendly with him? Would you befriend him and hang out with him and spend time with him?

I'm trying to settle an argument... I think women don't befriend guys they can't see themselves ever dating and the ones that do are attention whores and just want the attention.

My friend disagrees.. what can you tell me ladies?

....with human girls whom have animal features like actual bunny or cat ears and tails as their own body parts? Is this normal, or am I in need of therapy. If that is, then is it normal to draw pictures of such humanoids naked, but not in sexual poses.

I have 2 daughters, and they enjoy the trappings of girlyness (scented lotions, nail polish, etc. ) much more than I do.
But the shoe thing baffles me. I have large, wide feet that are difficult to fit. Consequently, I have only a few pairs of shoes (maybe a dozen, all told). One of my daughters has feet like mine and also has just a few pairs of shoes. The other daughter has average feet, can wear anything off the rack and she is a shoe fanatic! Earlier today she was playing on the computer and I heard her squeal quite intensely. I went to her and asked what caused her to make that noise and she pointed to a pair of shoes on the monitor. "Can I buy these...look, they are on sale!"
So, my question is...how did my daughter develop a shoe craze when her sister and I are not what you would call "shoe people." Are there subliminal messages in our society to encourage girls to buy shoes?

Like mental blockades preventing you from achieving your full potential, mainly in sports? I can't help feeling second string to people, and I am afraid to change the order? This applies to swimming, running, dancing, basketball, music, drawing, everything? Thanks for the help!

Why all the juvenile hatred of feminism? And why the insults instead of arguments? I could see if someone disagreed with what a feminist said could post a question, but many people on here post these really immature and spiteful remarks with no reason whatsoever.

1. Obsessed with revenge
2. Irrational to an extreme
3. Obsessed with wasting money on shoes and clothes and purses
4. Obsessed with "the style" and designer crap
5. Insistent on keeping their men from their friends (holding them hostage, basically)
6. Think it's OK to spend their husband's money and have an allowance

and many other things women do that just make NO sense!

What is wrong with (the majority) of women? Why can't we all be sane? Why are most so incapable of being rational? It's baffling!

I'm a pretty gorgeous guy and whenever I talk to women they just stare at my biceps. They don't even look me in the eyes. Sometimes they even sit down to get a better view of my package. Its so ackward.. especially if I'm not attracted to these women.

I'm like.. come on! My eyes are up here!

I think its rude.. I'm not a piece of meat.. I'm a human being

What is the most believed theory as to why humans forget? Also, why do do some people have better memory than others?

First off, i'll admit i am clingy, dependent, desperate for attention, easily made jealous, all that stuff that nobody likes in a friend. not really with guys (i'm 15, not into that yet haha), but with my close friends it's out of control. if one of them hangs out w/ another without me, i get so jealous and think they don't like me anymore and that i'm losing her even though i'm not. i don't know what to do! obviously i have some self-esteem issues because normal people don't get jealous when 2 of their friends hang out. what can i do to make this better? how can i stop caring so much about stupid crap like this? the thing is, it's really making everything worse. knowing i'm a jealous freak makes me think they don't want to be my friend even MORE. it's like a never ending cycle. thanks for help in advanced!

also, telling myself "i'm not losing her"doesn't seem to work. it's like trying to memorize a formula you never even understood in the first place. :[
