Social Science - 17 October 2007

Before you start saying I'm a lesbian, I'm not. I'm attracted to men, but I have so much anger towards them. I have not dated in three years because I do not want to deal with men and in a way seem happier. But it is getting to the point that I can't work with men or even deal with them in a store or restaurant. I always feel like men are out to screw me over or treat me like I am dumb or an emotional female. My sister recently got married. I told her that I would be in her wedding if I could walk down the aisle myself so I could symbolize independence. She did not take me seriously. This guy tried to grab my arm to walk me down the aisle and I would not let him and had a major hissy fit in a church? Why do I act like this?

What's so great about being popular? Who needs to be talked to by many people to feel good? This being such a dire goal in kids minds leads me to believe we are weak minded, ignorant garbage.

When I first came face to face with the western culture I was totally wonderstruck. Almost all girls and young women in the air port were wearing about 50% or less cloths compared to men and were exposing all parts of their body except genitals and nipples (not breasts). I thought since the western culture developed in the cold regions, people will have the tendency to cover more and this was true regarding males.

Why do you find shorter shorts on girls (boys wear shorts that reach their knees) and lesser cloths on females in general in public areas in the west?

I thought men were more sexual regarding visual stimuli and exposing body parts in such a way was actually a torture towards males as they are not allowed even to show their sexual interest in the females around them in public places, let alone act on it.

Please compare how males and females wear cloths in public.

Ok I don't get this but why is it that in the fall I am so motivated to do anything and I succeed in a lot of things(school(college the latest) and work.) But by the time January rolls around I don't feel like doing anything and my mistakes on homework and work and everyday life really get to me and I just don't get anything done and I get lonely. I'm not really a perfectionist and I don't seek attention but I hate this. It really affects my life. I don't get affected by the weather and I hate this. My counselor says to wait until that 'season' rolls around.

Any idea? I even dropped out of college because I fail to go to class regulary and fail to return assignments on time. AND as for work, I keep making mistakes even though I know how to do it. Help? Even if I get love and affection it doesn't help.

My g.f. has just started wearing fake eye lashes. She claims it makes her eyes look attractive, but it scares she **** out of me.
Women these days colour iron their hair, wear fake eyelashes, botox, breast augumentation, push-up bras, liposuction, heels to look taller, everything about women is fake from head to toe, literally!

I am preparing a speech to explain BLACK MONDAY (1929) in America.
What were the economic conditions and mood at that time?
With the country experiencing "all the BOOMING conditions" with such high prosperity at every corner, I want to learn what were the "underlying factors" that CAUSED the *bust.*
And........... What was the DJIA value at that time (pre-bust)?
I know that the DJIA dropped 503 points on that day.

Ok my phys. ed instructor in college is kinda mean to me I would say. I play racquetball and there are 4 ppl in my class including me and I am the only girl. Anyways, he will ONLY tell me and whoever the person I am playing, that whoever loses the game has to give him pushups. Well he never tells the the other 2 guys in the class that. He is always on my butt about stuff and says I am being lazy about how I play.Yesterday, he was playing a guy and so I watched to get some tips, and he came out of the court and said he didnt call time out and I needed to go play my classmate, but the guy he was playing TOLD me to come watch. I dont know.. he just always picks on me and some ppl say he treats me like that becuz he might have a little crush on me. I cant really tell though..he just says stuff to me and will sometimes smile afterwards..like when he told me I owed him some pushups if I lost the game. Oh yea asked him why he always picks on me and he someone has to keep me in line.

What are some qualities of the modern women that you dislike? I think for me, sometimes the things we call "impowered and entitled." A strong independent women. It's nothing really but a selfish and over-thinking of as deserving, of entitlement. It's just kind of prettied up. You know? When you really look at the core, its just another selfish person. . . I also hate the fact women are cheating so much more. Please don't take on the worst qualities of my gender! Please!(I'm a guy) It does not make things better for us as a society and the family. Let's work on making the good things better, not the bad things more equal. Seriously. But that's just me. . .

What are some of qualities of the modern women that you dislike? If any. . .

And if in anyway with the question, I have offened someone unknowningly. I apologize. Just an innocent curious question. I mean no offense. . .

Ever since I went vegan, I feel so much better (loads of energy), but I've also become EXTREMELY sensitive, timid, and anxious.

I'm thisclose to getting panic attacks when I ride on crowded buses, and anything "harsh" said freaks me out - even if it's not directed to me. People can't be honest or up-front or outspoken with me anymore - I'm always on the verge of tears.

I never used to be like this. I used to be the *total* opposite. I even used to be called "insensitive"! LOL

So how can I get over myself and become hardened? How can I be cool with not being treated like glass? Remember, I was never like this before. Thanks!

I'd rather be callous and insensitive in this dog-eat-dog and "do or die" world than be what I am right now.

I am in the process of being tested for a learning disability. Although I am very strong in some areas, I really struggle with a few others. For instance, I have a terrible memory, particularly for auditory learning. I am also horribly disorganized, and have to spend a large amount of time and energy keeping track of things. I have many many systems that I have developed to help me (to do lists, reminders, etc.), but even my systems are overlapped and inconsistent. For example, I'll lose the to do list and forget to look at the reminders. I feel constantly overwhelmed both at work and at home.

For those who have ADD, do these sound like symptoms? And if I am diagnosed, what resources are available to help me? How can I learn to better handle my learning style and avoid doing "double and triple work" in order to cover my bases and keep organized?

seriously, this dream scared me. i dreamt i was driving and braked abruptly when a black cat was crossing the street but the cat stopped midway. so i get out of the car and motioned the cat with my fingers to cross and the cat bit my fingers off and had them in his mouth. i screamed. i actually felt the bite for real. not only did i scream in the dream but also for real and woke up. i knew i was screaming out loud because someone else heard me. does this dream mean anything? the significance of the black cat? the significance of the fingers bitten off? OUCH!

Right now there is a certain subject that is really starting to fasinate me. This is living beyond the age of 130 or higher. The biggest this that fasinates me is the possibly second(for males) or third(for females) puberty state. Maybe we grow two more sets of arms? Maybe our brains shed and we take all minerals and vitimins to enhance our brain and become super intelligent. What if we go through this certain stage and go through a metamorphsis? Would we still be considered human beings?
