Ok, I am not trying ot sound racist by asking this question, but when one dates a Russian Exchange Student, what is the expectations in the relationship. I know, that the Russian Culture is totally different from the American Culture and I want to know what exactly is expected of a female in this culture. For instance, in some Islam cultures the male does not allow the female to be seen w/o her hijra in the presence of other males, unless they are close relatives. I just want to know what is a woman's role in Russian Society. BTW, I am in the USA, and he is an exchange student; so he is probalby not gonna adapt the the American Culture so quickly. Any incite would be extremely helpful!

If there is Id really love to meet you. Im soft and fluffy, and can be hard and strong and a lot of fun. But I want a best friend and love and its hard to always have to be "a man", I just want to be able to be with a partner or friend who s the same, no gender.
Every time I meet a woman who says she is, when she falls out with me she calls me a typical male. Why do people have to divide us into these categories, and why cant I find a mate who is into equality. What they say and what they do, and behave seem to be two different things! I just want a best mate, for a mate, not a set of gender rules i cant live up to!

When people are children they learn from hints given off by their parents or society how a little boy and a little girl should act, and they eventually adapt, because they want to be accepted, they want to be loved and get attention. I never adaped. Are you out there?

I mean, on yourself or on other men? I find myself staring at every guy in public (esp if they are hot) who has a belt on. They just turn me on for some reason, especially if they're tight! Anyone else like them in any way other than just utilitarian?

Hi, my question was meant for me to learn. I am using a mobile phone as a modem, and I used that word as a way of getting around the networks censorship. Just being cautious, sorry.

I just read a story on the news about how children have been 'Demonised' by the press and the media and some woman from a childrens charity more or less saying that 'hoodies' and meeting up on the street are a normal part of growing up. I have never read so much hogwash in my entire life, she is more or less saying that the yob behaviour that have earned the majority of these people the tag of 'chav' or 'ned' is OK and that we are being unfair on them. Why can't these 'do goodie' idiots keep their woolly liberal thoughts to themselves instead of being part of government think tanks, I believe it is this sort of irresponsible attitude that is responsible for the rise in 'Yob Culture', no one dares tackle what is a serious problem, kids nowadays seem to think they can do as they please and no-one should dare stop them. The accident that claimed the life of the London toddler last week is a fair example of what happens when you let kids do what they like unchecked. Does anyone agree?

I have a couple of gay friends. When they lived here, we went out a lot and I always had a lot of fun with them. (So much so that one night I peed my pants laughing! But that's another story.)

They moved out of state years ago, and I miss their company.

I remember that they hated to use the term "straight" when giving directions. If I would say something like, "You go straight at the stop sign and turn right at the second light," I would be "corrected" by one of them who would say, "Nope. You go FORWARD at the stop sign and turn right at the second light." Nothing was ever "straight ahead." It was always "forward and onward" or something like that.

Was this just some quirky nature of my friends, or do a lot of the gays and lesbians have this same idiosyncrasy?

many of them don't even know WHY they should be proud? or WHAT gay pride represents? I used to be a public relations officer for my campus glbt organization and all the members wanted to do ALL this gay pride stuff, and I asked them, "How many of you know when the first gay pride parade was?" "How many of you even know what the rainbow flag represents"? and "How many of you know what lead to the level of somewhat acceptance glbt people have TODAY?" and I was AMAZED at how many people don't know their gay history. Doesn't this seem a bit hypocritical? I mean it seems to me, in order to know where you're GOING, you have to know where you CAME FROM. How can we be shoving rainbows in people's faces when we can't even back up our own reasoning for doing so?

My boyfriend is white Polish, and I'm black girlfriend. My friends are black and he is the only one. When I took him to my house that my parents are feeling awkward because he is European, we have been together long time. I love his family and I learn about his culture in Poland. He is planning to take me to Poland and meet his cousin. Should I say yes or stay in America?

I've never seen a picture of them doing that in africa or in haiti..and I'm not trying to be rascist or anything, I don't care about any of that stuff. I'm just curious. Is it some sort of weird fashion statement? Or is there some actual utility to it?

I know there are forces at work in Reality, that we understand as
the MASCULINE and FEMININE.
Our spirit is made of both these aspects. And humans struggle
to find this balance within them.
I know we are made of body, mind, and spirit. It is said the
first humans were hermaphrodite. Today, there are still
humans born with male and female genitalia. So one might have a body chemistry that leans toward gay or lesbian.
Also, there is not only the struggle within to maintain the
masculine and feminine forces. But it is said we live more than
once. And a spirit can live many lives as a female, and then
still feel as if it's a female, though now being male. And vice
versa!
I wonder though, if there isn't also a mind dimension at work.
In that one can be hurt badly by the opposite sex. And still want
to enjoy thier sexuality, and turn thier own.
What are your thoughts?
