should our police force carry guns Posted: 3/10/2009 7:46:35 PM
On the other side of the pond, but all you really need to do is take a case study on the good 'ole USA. The Police are packing and they have wonderful control over gun violence there... ...or maybe not... You can also look here at Canada, where the RCMP go around with weapons and wearing vests. There are fairly tight gun control legislation here, hoever, if you look in the news (albeit Canuck news), you'll find there have been more killings of RCMP members over the last several years despite being armed and armoured. From first hand experience, knives are much more of an issue than guns.

Why Do I Have to Smile? Posted: 5/1/2007 6:34:14 PM
Wouldn't let it bother ya. I know I don't smile that much myself. Well, until you get to know me well enough that you can tell by looking at my eyes...but that's another story... I feel the same way you do. I don't like my smile. Period. End of discussion. I think I look funny when I smile. So the only time anyone will get a picture of me with a full smile is if I don't notice they're taking a pic of me. Other than that, most you'll get out of me is what most people consider a smirk (honest though, that's me smiling!) Just because you're not smiling doesn't mean you're not happy...

Can we mythbust this? (Men are visual women aren't) Posted: 5/1/2007 5:49:51 PM
how about we all get along now and agree with the fact that today, looks are important. However, "looks" are different for men and women. We all make some sort of judgement on someone as soon as we see them. It's human nature. For men, mostly, what they see can often be enough to incur interest. Now, correct me if I'm wrong here ladies, but it seems there's more to "looks" than what some guys'll pick up on. These include, but are not limited to: how they hold themselves (confidence goes a long way), how they interact with others, how they greet you, the style, cut and colour coordination of clothing etc. Now personally, looks are important...to a point! There's something to be said about walking up to someone you find absolutely drop-dead gorgeous only to walk away as soon as they open their mouths!

Say What You Really Want Posted: 5/1/2007 5:25:07 PM
Lay it all out! If they're a adult, they'll take it and move on. If they haven't matured, then they just can't handle rejection. Or maybe I've just been rejected alot It shouldn't be taken personally. Not everyones suited to one another, so why dwell. You may be hurt, or dissatisfied, but that's no reason to take it out on somebody else! I have a whole lot more respect for people who'll let you know (preferably in a tactful manner) than for someone who's just gonna leave you wondering...

i REALLY dont want to sound like an A$$ Posted: 5/1/2007 5:12:18 PM
wow...lol...I'm thoroughly amused and disgusted at the same time. amusing -> 30-45 mins...if that's long distance to you, you gotta get out more, travel some! Hell, I had an ex that lived in Ont. Now that's quite the comute! disgusted -> I really hope for him he's smart enough not to take things further with you! With the amount of effort your looking at putting into this, I know it wouldn't take me too long not to drive to see you. These realtionship things are two person affairs, it does take effort, sacrifice, and a willingness to do things that you may not necessarily want to do. So my advice-> Stop complaining about something you are unwilling to do anything about yourself!

If you had your choice to travel tomorrow where would you go? Posted: 4/21/2007 7:51:50 PM
Well, considering I made this decision earlier this week (though I don't leave tomorrow, I leave in 3 weeks, but close enough), it's easy. On the spur, I decided Frankfurt and Ibiza!

Please explain why guys who cannot spell intelligent are looking for 'intelegent' girls Posted: 4/21/2007 7:46:02 PM
lol...now that's funny... not to mention, things like people how speak and write in multiple languages. I found out after sending an e-mail this past week that I had spelt June as Juin (french spelling). I laughed none the less! Then there's always dyslexia...(had to look that one up )

Does your level of education limit or enhance relationships? Posted: 4/21/2007 5:51:27 PM
Peoples education levels play a significant role in social interactions. Wanderers concise social psychology lesson above is realtively clear and bang on (didn't check the stats, but the theory's good). I've had a couple ex's get irritated with me over how much I analyse things around me. "Why can you not look at that for what it is?", to which I'd normally reply "Why can't you see that it's more than what you see?" (paraphrasing of course). I find that having been very multi-disciplinary (Double major Earth Sciences/Biology, with electives ranging from feminism, religion, chemistry, physics, psychology and computer science), if a woman isn't able to understand what I'm talking about (be similarly educated), she has to at least show some interest in learning more. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but learning is forever. So yes, education level is important, but a desire to keep learning even more so.

Are their any guys left who like chunky gals? Posted: 4/21/2007 5:04:23 PM
The ladies have all said it fairly well before me. There are guys out there that realise that appearances are realy not everything. Personally speaking, I've been with women of various shapes and sizes, from both ends of the spectrum, and those with "a few extra pounds" are some of the women I've had the best relationships with. That being said, you gotta be happy with you! If there's something you don't like, and it's feasibly fixable (ie I don't find plastic surgery feasible), then d something about it. It might sound cold to some, but I've said it directly to some of my ex's too (and no, that's not why they're ex's), "Stop complaining about it and do something!" I never really liked the spare tire I caried around my mid section by the end of university, but, with conscious effort, it's gone!!! (YAY!!!) But beautiful people do eventually find one another, you just have to remember that true beauty is more than just what the eyes can see.

dating some 1 with emotional baggage... Posted: 4/16/2007 5:15:55 PM
Experiences that you've moved on from are not baggage. Experiences which result in adverse behaviour (ie descriptions in the latter part of writerlychicks post) are. I've had some very good friendships grow out of what might be considered "failed" intimate relationships. Definately not baggage. Now if I were to generalize that all women were going to be like my most recent ex, be completely closed and uncommunicative, lying, and in the end, exploit me, and treat all new relationships with this in mind, then that would be baggage! Just to clarify, not dwelling, just a statement of facts. Live and learn. So long as you learn, it's not baggage.

We've made plans to meet.....I'm nervous! Posted: 4/16/2007 5:02:56 PM
^^^pretty much smack on...for sure he's going to be nervous! If he isn't, I'd be very surprised. I've done this kinda thing myself, and it's nerve wracking on both ends. So just try to relax, and most important, be yourself!!!

Is sex even sexy if that other person isnt that into you ? Posted: 4/15/2007 4:52:02 PM
Tried doing it without some sort of connection, chemistry, but it didn't work. Gotta have that...something more...so, yeah, quantity isn't all it's cracked up to be. Quality's the way to go!

Are British Columbians friendlier Posted: 4/15/2007 2:03:23 PM
funny. I've lived across Canada, and been in almost every major city. I've travelled in the states, and the Carribean. I grew up mainly in Halifax NS. And I'm sorry, but Nova Scotians are the 2nd nicest people in Canada after the Newfies. You can't beat East Coast hospitality, especially when you're on George St. When you get right down to it, I found San Franciscans were friendlier than people in Vic.

What's the first stat you look at? Posted: 4/15/2007 1:50:39 PM
Location-> long distances DON'T work for me, been there, tried that... Age-> I might not be that old myself, but I've experienced a bit and maturity is a must, so I find a bit too much of a maturity gap between myself and someone who's 19, 20 (generally speaking, I've been known to be wrong on occasion)... What they're looking for-> cuz let's face it, I'm not the tall, dark and handsome (5'8"3/4, but who's being exact?), I'm not looking for IE, and there has to be some compatible interests Kids-> realistic, as you get older, you can't discount everyone who has kids. You may be discounting a great person just on the basis that they have a kid. But, I'm probably going to want one of my own, and I don't know if I can handle more than 2, so...you do the math...

Do victims become abusers?? Posted: 4/15/2007 1:36:17 PM
There's mention of abuse by those we love, are role models, family, or substance abuse related. However, there's another edge to it all that can be often over looked. I was the victim of peer abuse. In that period of my life, family was supportive, however, as we had just moved to a new city, as an 8 year old skinny little red head kid, never quite fit in. The 4 years of mental, and sometimes physical, abuse which ensued, in some very formative years of more advanced social interactions, produced a very withdrawn, closed, angry 12 year old. Had suicide crossed my mind? For sure, almost followed through with it... Had revenge crossed my mind? Going poastal has it's appeal to an angry teen... But, the mind healed. Hobbes is on to something. A progression of stages someone will go through after being a victim of abuse. You nay never reach every stage, you may skip a phase, but those generalities are pretty good. It's all on an individual by individual basis, but Hobbes' observations are sound. The key, IMO, is the victim to eventually find something that will bring them out. Once they begin to open up, they can begin to look at themselves, and then truly make a change. High school drama did it for me. A means to open the mind and express it, without the fear of further abuse. That's why I think they need to keep money in the school system for these types of programs, but that's for another thread I guess.

What would you do differently? Posted: 4/15/2007 12:54:27 PM
No regrets. It's the only way to live. Even in the midst of being down and out, under the weather, with nothing going right, it's important to remember to have no regrets, because every decision and consequence has brought you a new lesson to learn from. Both the positive and negative in life need to be learned from.

In your opinion, are bald guys sexy? Posted: 4/15/2007 12:48:59 PM
Oh, I forgot to mention. Bald is great, but upkeep is a pain. Shave mine every morning, and twice a day if something important is going on in the evening!

Well, it's not for me to judge, but I've had mine bic'd for about 4 years. It sounded like a good idea at the time. And baldness is genetic. I'm not naturally bald yet, but it does grow in thinner in one place. Why not beat nature to the punch? ;) But you have to have the right shaped head for it really. If you're head's too long, or has a funny shape to it, keep the hair on. The dome should be fairly well rounded. About the ladies: some of 'em can pull off a shaved head. Some quite well (Natalie Portman's a good example). But like some of the ladies mentioned in this thread, she has to have the right personality/style to pull it off. longhauler-> Those happen. Got one of my own. Big rock. 5 story drop. 38 stitches. Wasn't pretty.

casual sex is casual sex Posted: 4/15/2007 12:04:49 PM
I really don't understand why some people even open their mouths. It's inevitable that someone stupid is going to say something, generalize it, and make others look bad because of it. Personally, not into casual sex (just can't seem to get the job done without the feelings to back up the urge). If you can't seem to get a relationship right without trying to get her into bed on the first night, it might be an idea to change your approach, or maybe it's the attitude...or maybe it's just you. And please, you could do some of us a favor by not painting us all with the same brush! ->If a married man feeds a married woman when she is hungry, who has been hurt? Well, I'm not married myself, but if I was, whoever was feeding it to my wife would be hurt...
