Social Science - 27 October 2007

I talk to myself. Like, almost like i'm talking to another person. Its weird.

like, when i'm upset, and panic-ie and stuff, or if i'm keeping myself from hurting myself, i'll start talking to myself trying to figure out what's bothering me. Sometimes i'm just upset though. no reason. But sometimes i'm realy being bothered by something and if i realize why i'm upset, i'll start feeling better.


weird? idk...

are you the type of person who is naturally inclined to help people when they are in trouble? would you risk your neck in a heartbeat to save someones life if it came to it?

or are you the type of person who's first reaction to a crisis is to save yourself first and worry about everyone else later.. if at all?



i was watching The King of Queens earlier, and the guy [i dont know his name] and his wife were on a plane that was just landing. The plane sort of landed a little roughly and a couple oxygen masks dropped down. The guy instantly shoved his mask onto his face and started sucking on the air like crazy.. even though they were perfectly fine and the plane already on the ground.
His wife's mask didnt drop down.
Even though it was a perfectly safe landing, had it been a real catastrophe it was clear that he would saved just his own life and not given any thought to his wife that was sitting right next to him.

Now.. are you like that guy?

or are you the opposite??

The ones that get their girlfriends pregnant, and then just f*ck off, leaving her raising the child alone, and having to pay for everything when the man shoudl be supporting the family, not a woman just by herself.
And then lots of people in society say, oh he was too young, it's not his faultm he didn't know better. Did those women get themselves pregnant or something? He was smart enough to stick his dick in, why should he not be smart neough to stay around and at least be a parent? Why shoudl society ease up on people like that?

Just curious to see what everyone's opinion is on this subject. As a man, would you be offended? Women, are you going to/already have taken someone else's last name? If not, why?

I was talking to my dad today and he although he is a very nice guy and everything, he admitted that he believes that women are not as capable and there should not be a woman president. Is this secretly how all men feel?

I've comments about guys being very forward in their flirtation, being very persistent in their courtship, and most recently, being "dominant" in the bedroom, including "light asphyxiation" and "hair pulling".

I'm not judging any woman for liking whatever it is she may like, but guys, what are you thinking? Or are you not thinking at all but just incredibly horny?

I am gentle by nature anyway, but in the contemporary climate of increased awareness of sexual harassment, stalking, date rape, and domestic violence, why in the WORLD would you take the CHANCE of being accused of one of these crimes? How could it possibly be worth the risk, even if it is relatively small, that if you leave hand prints on a woman's neck, you could easily find yourself in deep trouble?

Why take the risk?

I mean suppose you get like 2% interest each year, not to sure what the average is. If the inflation rate is 4% wouldn't you actually have a 2% loss despite that fact that you have "more" money than you did before.

Lots of people scream and get horrified at supernatural type movies where green ooze flows out of aliens or eyes bulge out and explode and so on. On the other hand, lots of movies might show horrifying but realistic scenes of someone being stabbed or raped or tortured, but the production values aren't F/X or hyped or exaggerated. Which type of scene in a movie scares you more, and why?

I come from a functional family with parents who are still married (about 40 yrs) but never really showed sexuality towards eachother in front of my sis and I. I haven't had many partners (under 10 and I'm 30!) and the one I enjoyed the most was the last guy with whom I had chemistry for a long time. But the most crucial factor was that he was dominant and a little rough. He almost asphyxiated me too (lightly) and I had the best time. What does this all mean? He even asked why a nice girl like me liked it that way. He pulled my hair a bit and I loved it. I'm normally not subservient in real life either at all. I'm not dominant either I think. Though I WAS the boss in my last relationship (almost a dictator). So. why do I like this guy so much with his hair pulling and domination? I want to be handled.. I don't have a rape or molestation past... Please shed some light and tell me how to recognize a guy who'll be a bit dominant in bed by just talking to him so I can meet more :)

I've read numerous studies and finding on why women cheat. The majority of the finding say, women cheat because they feel "entitled" to. They weren't getting what they wanted at home, so they go else where. They felt deserving of the gratification the affairs gave them, one study said.

My question is. How much of these women are really entitled to anything?! If you're gonna lie, creep and cheat. By default, in my opinion. You have just lowered standards! What attention do these women want? Are they good wives or girlfriends? Who said they were a catch? People always feel entitled for some reason. But are they!

Is this not another example of selfish people jusifying their action by blaming the other person?

Are relationships not a give and take. Two people working to make the other happy?! Or is it just make me happy.

AND YES I KNOW MEN CHEAT TOO! AND OFTEN.

Do you think that evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry is making a big discovery or do you think he's completely insane?

"Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises, according to Curry in a report commissioned for men's satellite TV channel Bravo.

Women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts, according to Curry."

What do you think of this statement? Do you think that the characteristics listed here are personal, or that all of mankind desire these traits? What about this statement.."Racial differences will be a thing of the past as interbreeding produces a single coffee-coloured skin tone. " Irrational or rational?

Setting aside religion, what are your true thoughts-your first instincts?

After i get an anxiety attack, i feel strange.
Like i am empty and numb and everything arround me is fake.

It feels like i am looking at the world through blurry glass.
And i'm watching everyone else on a stage and im the only one in the audience.
It makes me feel so alone and it goes on for hours sometimes..

Is this a symptom of anxiety?

Sometimes I am the center of attention, because my personality is attractive, and sometimes i am invisible, because i become suddenly quiet. I've been aware of this and I've noticed a few feelings I have when each situation occurs.

When center of attention: I have lots of energy, I am not aware of myself (meaning I am not analyzing my behavior at the moment)

When quiet: I have no energy, My mind is blank (meaning if I wanted to socialize I wouldn't be able to conjure up a single comment), and as a result I think i am very incapable of socializing.

From my details is this a symptom i have, or a simple matter of whether I have lots of energy or not? And, I its a matter of energy, what would you recommend for me to constantly have lots of energy? I appreciate the help
