I have a girlfriend that loves me. I have enough money to tell my job to shove, and I did. They wanted me to go on the road. I'm taking a fireman's interview, getting my master in Engineering & Technical Managment, and I'm going to start my own business if I don't get the fireman thing. I almost have no signifigant worries and I have no negative influences around me. Why am I so lucky?

Do "tomboyish" women that engage in traditionally masculine activities have higher levels of testosterone than the average woman?

I base this question on the fact that I heard a comment from a woman while watching a women's poker match on television a few weeks ago. In this match, one of the female poker players was being interviewed, and I recall her mentioning that she and the other female players at the table had "higher levels of testosterone" than the average woman -- implying that her notion is based on the fact that they love playing competitive poker; what is usually seen as being a "man's sport".

How much truth do you think there is to her statement?

Do any tomboy women here on this forum feel they have higher testosterone levels than the prissy, strawberry shortcake teaparty curtsy women?

The first one is about being pursued by godzilla (seriously) through a city environment, he never quite gets me but always is on my heals... The other one is I'm protecting my family from hordes of zombies... I am a big godzilla & zombie fan and read alot and watch movies about both. Is it just my over active imagination or is there more to it

Everyone's got guilt. How do you just let go and forget that sex is supposed to be "dirty" in these religions? Is it the STDs people worry about these days? How is everyone out there?

Why do disparaging remarks or insults hurt?
I noticed that it hurts me when someone insults me or makes an unkind remark about me even if I know it's just words. I try to take things like a Buddhist. It seems like when someone insults me, I initially feel a bit of pain, psychologically. It's just a brief but sometimes prolonged and generally unpleasant feeling. I am able to concentrate and assess whether the remark is worth getting upset over. Usually then I get over it. I don't stay upset about it unless it's someone who's opinion I care about or if my reputation is being damaged. But there is still that initial brief pain that is felt when the remark is first made. I imagine this is the automatic thinking process that automatically accepts everything as true initially. Then controlled thinking follows. (If you're familiar with social psychology terminology)
Why is that?
Have there ever been studies done that show which areas of the brain are activated when an person is insulted?

I had a dream about this guy that's really cute, I don't know him, but he's in one of my classes. He was at my house for vacation or something, & it was snowing. Suddenly, he came in my room, & he was freezing/sick, & my parents asked me to keep him warm and watch him. So I cuddled w/ him, & this feeling of tenderness came over me as I snuggled w/ him to keep him warm. The feeling was really, really, tender & adoring. It came from my stomach kinda & I sorta forgot the dream, but I know that I fell asleep w/ him on the bed, & the next day he was better again.
That morning he turned around, & gave me a kiss on the lips & we started kissing. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom to brush my teeth, so I went, & when I came back out, I realized that they had to go back home, because they were only over for vacation. I was really sad.
I thought that it would be freaky that if he had the same dream. But he didn't even look at me during class. But I kept thinking about the feeling I felt.

During a survey taken from different countries in all metro cities about the SEX experiences of the present days boys and girls (-less than 18 years of age-), the officials were taken a back to find the result that nearly 50 % of them had already experienced the SEX with somebody . One more survey result revealed the news that those boys or girls (- 40% percent- )they do not use any condems for protecting for a healthy sex. Is not shocking. I expect only those boys and girls should answer my following question. What happened to your FAMILY ORIENTED VALUES or MORALS or GOOD BEHAVIOUR , Please answer me.
