I often have a dream that I have to sit exams for subjects I have not been studying for many years - like my GCSE's.

It fills me with dread because I left school many years ago and obviously haven't a clue about anything that is going to be asked. I never actually get into the exam room . . .

why do I have this dream?

What would be a normal sexual relationship between a man and a woman of 22yrs of age? The guy i'm with does not want to have sex. With my previous relationships, this has been the complete opposite, where the guy is always wanting sex. But this new guy of mine never wants to. And when I try to initiate it, he tells me "I pressure him too much and that it will happen when it happens." So now, I don't even bother, and he seems to never have any sexual interest in me. When we have had sex a few times in the past (we've been dating for 6months) he would ...of course... "get his" and then he'd have no interest in me and would just lay there. When I asked him about it he said "I don't care what you want." That really hurt my feelings! Maybe he's holding off on the sex thing because he becomes very selfish and pigish whenever he is sexual with a woman? I think that's what it is. He views women that have sex with him as something different/an object and he's disrespectful. What do you think?

I'm 22yrs old and I'm afraid I'm behind in life....socially, financially, emotionally, and intellectually! I worry about these things. What are you supposed to learn in life in your 20's? What are some of the major things? I have no idea who I am, or what I'm doing most days! Life is so confusing to me at times and I barely have anyone that I can trust in my life. So...what are the major things I can look forward to (or should definitely do) experience/learn/accomplish in my 20's? Any advice is appreciated.

Women who adverise themselves on webcams for million of strangers. Or in Maxim magazine. Or join the WWE. . . Displaying themselves on such a regular basis's as just sex toy's. Is this Nature or is this Nurture? After the 60's and take off of Playboy. How much of this kind of stuff, is pre-progammed in women these day's. I'm not trying to sound or be, sexist in anyway!! It's just women historically are more known to do these things over men. Especailly in today's world, where women are just basically volunteering! Setting up their webcam's and what not. Impowerment and sexuality all that cliche talk. Is this just apart of this shallow times we live in? The over-sexed times we live? Are these women just attention starved? Because personally as a guy I'm getting kind of borde of a lot this stuff.
So really how much of this Nature and how much of this Nurture? Was this really the end game of the 60's and all that?

If this is a ignorant question don't hurt me. . . just a curious guy.

I was dreaming that my husband and I were working on our house, ripping up the carpet and putting new tile etc (we are actually adding onto our house right now and just had tile put in). Anyway, it wasn't really 'our' house in the dream, it was this really HUGE house with alot of rooms (we are planning on selling our house and having a big house built). Well, in the dream there were all these people there, helping. They mostly seem to be people from a previous job of mine - even some that I never liked very well. I remember thinking,in the dream, "why are 'they' here?" At one point I was on my hands and knees, scraping the floor. I was wearing my 'nightgown, so my husband came over and put a blanket around me, because there were two other guys in the room. Then, I got up and told him if he wanted me to 'cover up' or 'kick everyone out'??? I remember being mad that 'they' were all there and wanted them to leave. Does this mean something??

This oddball now moving out is in his late 40's and he had various female bar troll friends who knew all about me as he spoke about me to them but he wouldn't introduce them to me. They ended up being ugly bar trolls with drug and Dui issues too. He seemed really annoyed that he couldn't interest me and I was just his neighbor. He even went so far as to have his rich parents come to where I work at a nursing home to recover from a hospital stay where they helped themselves to asking about me with my coworkers. I had quit talking to the misfit. When were having a conversation he often told me stories I discovered were lies later and I told him I did not want my business discussed with the sugar mama's who bailed him out of jail that he met in the bar. He is nearly moved out now but I would like to know, from men in particular but anyone with insight what in the world did this "neighbor" want from me. He acted like I was such a frustration to him because I didn't have his problems.

I dreamt I was being chased along the streets of Newcastle by Busy Bee. She was waving a false arm at me and screaming for a recipe for cherry pie.

Do you think I should lay off the wine for a bit? I've never even been to Newcastle.......

Right...

Walking down the road to work and theres this marching band and Ringo was playing the orchestral bass drum...

...CUT...

Me and Ringo started talking about music and stuff - I'm a struggling muso myself so, y'know...I gave him my phone number and he gave me his (...building up more "work contacts" and stuff...and you can't really get much higher up in status than a Beatle in the musical world!)

We were walking along the main road, and just off it theres another road with houses on it and stuff...only one of the houses was a set-back vertical rockface...

Ringo: Shall we climb it?
Me: Eh? Hell, why not?

So we're climbing it, and we're probably halfway up (barehanded...no ropes or anything..) Then we stop...knackered and holding on for dear life...I ask Ringo "Why the hell are we doing this?" ...to which he replies "I don't know man..." - then I fall, ringo stays on the rockface...

I come around after being unconcious...Ringos come down to see if I'm ok...

It seems their answers almost always contain some sort of insult or anger. Debates can happen without it getting so personal. What's with all the anger?

if you stand up to watch your soccer match, you might get a better view.
if everyone stands up, everyone's at best, going to be more tired and some will be worst off.

if i dont vote or thumbs up/down or star a question, someone else's going to do it.
but, if everyone wont do it, no one's going to do it.

so please, vote / thumbs up/down / star a question now!

ps- if you do so for questions that deserve it, you're being effective. if you do so for every question, it's back to square one. be very careful about the fallacy of composition! its after all, the only formal fallacy i read of in my textbook(and yes fallacy isnt a new topic to me due to my weird interest in logic and fallacies), so i suppose it must be important! heh, maybe not, but well.

I completely agree that every woman should be educated, as that's only the responsible thing to do since you will be educating your child. However, I don't see the necessity for a woman to work outside of the home. If you have a passion for a certain career then the goal should be to make it into a career you can do from home while taking care of your children. These are your children after all and no one else is better equipped to take care of them but you. So why is it so important for Feminist for women to work outside of the home?

If you can't afford to treat an American woman in the way she is used to being treated in the richest country of the world then you need a foreign woman.

Is that why they do it? Because they are not up for the challenge and can't satisfy a woman with hearty needs?
