    What are you thinking right now?

    It doesn't look like any copulation is taking place, so it's cannibalism at worst. My gut reaction was to retort with Necrophagia, but that applies to carrion or necrotic tissue, not cooked meat.

    Questions for the Women

    One of my character flaws is that I tend to pepper my responses with qualifiers because I dislike making false statements. Since I didn't have an algorithm for reducing people to a monetary figure handy I had to resort to the probably... (although I now realize that it lends the response...

    Attractive "Unattractive" Traits?

    I don't think one needs to be politically correct to be attractive. Bigotry and lack of empathy are an entirely different matter though (maybe I just have no stomach for politics?).

    House wife happily married thinking

    I'd be open to it if that is what she needs to feel complete and while there might be some benefits to such an arrangement I wouldn't be surprised if a polyamorous relationship requires more effort to be viable in comparison to a tradition binary pairing.

    What are you thinking right now?

    Sometimes I'd be thinking "I hate my life" and then I reflexively think "No I don't. I'm just upset with the current set of circumstances. Things could be worse and there are certainly things about my life I can be pleased about... if only the circumstances would change a bit." Also Its kind of...

    My mind is active at night. Need to sleep. Suggestions?

    Mmmm... white noise :P  I tried sleeping with my ear pressed to my shoulder once so I could listen to my heart beating but it proved to be too uncomfortable to maintain for long (I wonder if having a girlfriend would help in that regard?)

    New guy introduction

    Welcome to ALL. Definitely a nice name (as long as you like winter that is. But if not just add a 'N' and everything's rosy again).

    Online Dating?

    One does have to wonder what the motivation for giving advice is if the giver is not concerned with what the receiver does with it (or how they interpret it in the first place)

    Any 30+ to 40 folks here?

    32. Not overly into movies these days; I prefer a good documentary myself. What sort of games do you like though?

    Pets?

    I like animals in general (and pets mostly seem to like me too) but I would never want to have one of my own for two reasons: 1) I don't feel I could handle the responsibility of being in charge of another souls well-being 2) I would be distraught over the inevitable loss of said pet resulting...

    House wife happily married thinking

    No, I would have been quite content with being dedicated to her (though I would think a bit less of her if she were to hook up with another woman purely for sex as I feel that that should follow from having genuine feelings for someone in the first place... I'm not an advocate for casual sex...

    Should I pursue a relationship?

    Thanks for indulging my inner pedant Callie. I personally value intelligence for its ability to free us from irrational behavior and reasoning, though I would not seek to foster it to the detriment of sympathy or creativity, for example. Sadly being intelligent does not preclude one from being...

    House wife happily married thinking

    Well sure, if someone feels that dedicating themselves to a single person for the rest of their is too restrictive for them personally they should be free to seek out other people who would accept this about them. I dated a girl who turned out to be bi for a while (broke up for reasons...

    House wife happily married thinking

    Yeah, I agree with that. I read your post as generalizing to all relationships (the "how would you feel" bit) but these are definitely issues one would want to resolve prior to making marital vows.

    Should I pursue a relationship?

    I think the first point is technically incorrect. Everything else being equal, I'd attach more weight to the methodology of a person with an IQ of 140 than I would one of 20. Sure, I agree that an IQ score isn't everything and less important than other factors in at least some instances but I...

    House wife happily married thinking

    If I married someone who was bisexual I wouldn't deny them that part of themselves as long as they don't feel the need to do it behind my back, and I know that I am still an important part of their life. Also polyamory is a thing for some people, so if we are to see homosexuality as an...

    Does the powerlessness of it bother you sometimes?

    Perhaps you should stop trying so hard (which is not to say stop trying at all) and just be receptive to the possibility of change. Also if you don't set a clear goal to your actions (which would otherwise be demotivating should you fail) it might be easier to find something positive to take...

    My mind is active at night. Need to sleep. Suggestions?

    If you can get a hold of melatonin or GABA supplements, I'd recommend giving them a try. I wouldn't recommend watching TV or using a computer before going to sleep though as this may interfere with one's natural circadian rhythm. Wikipedia has an article on Sleep hygiene which has some things...

    What are you thinking right now?

    That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. (necro-ing a thread or two certainly helps in that regard)
