Okay sorry everyone as this is totally off topic but just out of curiosity. What army does he collect ? Also what series.
Also s0denone. I have always just thought of that as legalised prostitution. Dinner + Movie = Sex. Also sorry for being crude but a mate of mine got his girlfriend a diamond necklace with the stipulation that she takes it in the butt.
I would be amazed if he can do that much, he walks in with a case of plastic miniatures and seems to struggle with it sure the case is 3feet wide 2 feet tall and 8 inches in depth, but it is plastic, with foam in it, with more plastic in the foam, while I can walk around with as many as my body will allow(nothing quite like running out of space) he struggles with one
Hey now, be fair. Some warhammer minatures are either metal or have metal parts. <.<;;;
Okay so another question while I feel in the mood. Why do women cheat either as much or more then men ? I asked my best friend this and even she admitted that women do not NEED sex as men do. Yes it may feel good and all but its not like men where to live we need food, water, shelter and sex and if we could only choose 3 we would probably go outside and freeze. So if there is no overriding hard to control need then it is a simple conscious choice. Also why is it most women go insane if they are not in a relationship ? Most women I know have to be in a relationship at all times. If they break up with someone they will without fail have a new guy within 2 weeks even if that guy is absolutly wrong for her. I did have another question... but for the life of me my brain is refusing to work right now. O.o
Okay I know this is going to be cheeky but I can get away with it <.<;;; but rayxofxsunshine just how old are you ? You mentioned about your age and being old fashioned but if your avatar is you then id say youre at absolute most 35. More then likly late 20s.
LOL. Don't you know never to ask a woman her age?! And, in all honesty, I'm young. I'm 22 now, which is *early* 20s. I'm the youngest in my family though, and the age gap is pretty big, so I've always felt alot older than I am. :P And yes my avatar is me.
The cheating thing, I honestly couldn't answer. I think it has more to do with women who use men like men supposedly use women - the whole notches in the bedpost thing. And in that case, that's your answer. However, sometimes it's insecurity, sometimes it's sexual desire, and sometimes it's boredom. I don't really know because I'm not that type and don't really understand the thinking behind it.
And the relationship thing is a combination of factors. Women who need a relationship crave attention and closeness. Women more so than men crave the relation between two people. Most women feel that this only completely accomplished with a romantic relationship, not just friendship. Probably having something to do with the inclusion of intimacy. Women view intimacy more sexually than men do, so they can't really achieve it with just friendship. That being said, it's mostly a confidence issue. When you *want* someone to notice you, you're more prone to obsess over the things you need to change about yourself to be better. When you have someone in a relationship, you don't need to be on your guard to be the best you can be as much when you're on your own, so your confidence soars.
Chaos 3.0-4.0 since they share figs. I have a Tau army but I usually help my friend, a precodex preplastic figs Necron player carry his stuff in since I usually provide transportation. We have compared to other places (just general asking around) and have noted that we have freakishly large armies (the smallest being 2k largest being 33k at last check min is a paltry 7k.)
s0denone: Question: Who does women scream of equality of the sexes when the dating scene is so screwed up?
I mean, women want gifts, they want to be taken out, they want a whole lot of stuff, and they would rather not spend a nickle. Excuse me for the generalization.
Isn't it very hypocritical? "But there's more to it than just the dating scene"[/i] - That could very well be so, but that's not my question.
Why do women £xpect the man to use up all his money on her? Sure, perhaps you don't fancy gifts all the time, but don't come here and tell me that you didn't get jealous when you saw that Jannice from the office(Or Jasmine from school) got a gift from their husband/boyfriend, and then started dropped hints to have your man realise you want something. I just find it all so screwed up. "No, we're equal. But you're going to pay for dinner, gifts for me, and I would also rather if you just worked a lot to make a lot of money, instead of seeing you at home"
Some men might even say "But we are just being gentlemen" - The term "Gentleman" comes from a time when men thought themselves superior to women, and had to assist these "handicapped beings" in any way, shape or form, that they could. Honouring, or supporting such a way of life, is directly opposite to supporting equality of the sexes. Fine, we found out that women aren't inferior to men, that's great - And while they certainly may have a point in some areas, that women aren't treated right, they SHOULD STOP HARVESTING THE BENEFITS.
First of all, agreed. The sexes will never be equal equal. Differences can never be equalities. For me, and most women I know, as long as workplace and social status are not based on gender, that's good enough. Dating will never be one those things in which men and women are equal. We each have our different sets of rules, ways of behaving, and expectations. Women want the men to be the protector and provider, so we expect men to pay most of the time - but there is a limit. As far as I'm concerned, I give as many gifts, if not more, than I take during a relationship. Gifts don't have to be physical things, either. So, while the gender-specific roles of dating are still applied nowadays, I think it's generalizing to say all women demand gifts.
And as far as the reaping the benefits, I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you're not complaining about it as well. Either accept things the way they are and reap away or put up a fight and take the high road.

There is no "supposedly" about the way some men treat women and vice versa (humans love hating each other it seems) I've seen the results of the way people treat each other it can be bad. Blech confidence issues...I'll admit I have a few myself but mostly when it comes to talking with girls face to face, specifically ones I don't know, old female friends or wives I'm fine with but if I don't know them and they are single I shut down (or at least I did last time) god bless you anonymity of the internet. The biggest issue I face is a lack of anything to say when I don't know what they like and if I do know I don't know anything about the topic and, last time at least, the girl in question wasn't very forthcoming with information.
EDIT:now I'm confused this messages is messed up because of something I did wrong......
Okay so another question while I feel in the mood. Why do women cheat either as much or more then men ? I asked my best friend this and even she admitted that women do not NEED sex as men do.
I'd say that this dynamic is not necessarily true anymore. Speaking from a rather large group of geeky girls, I find that this has become more or less equal and in some cases switched over. I'd that I know more girls who acknowledge and NEED sex more than would be considered the stereotype. But then again, I'd like to bring up the overwhelming pressure society has on gender values and what is considered 'the norm' for which. Personally, for the most part- I get really agitated when I don't get sex. If I had it my way, I'd like to have it twice a day. Whereas my respectable nekkid partner, is much more traditional and would settle for once every other day. (Granted, pre virginity loosing years meant I never craved it).
(Again, within my own group) A rather large percentile of couple breakups/arguments have been caused or directly linked to sex. It becomes more than just a habit but a need. I think the fact that its reached a point where women are questioning more about what they want where there are more balanced dynamics.

I did apologise for the generalization, I know that's what it was.
Again, that is morally wrong, and hypocritical. Personally I have nothing against paying for a date, as long as I am allowed to bring it up in a later argument (Which I'm not, thus generating these posts)
Women(From my experience) just expect that men pay, and then shut up about it, but when the woman wants something, they will not yield before they have gotten their way (Or snap, and start either ignoring you, or acting like a complete bitch) and this does include bringing up long-gone subjects of how they supported you, and let you come through. I think it's bullshit. personally.
rayxofxsunshine: Some girls think gifts are necessary (based in a thousands of years of bridal traditions and mating customs, etc etc), but some think they're bonus.
By thousands of years of bridal traditions, you mean where girls came with dowries, just to get them off the family's hands?
And to be honest, I'm just as happy with CZ necklaces. Diamonds do have a unique quality, though.
I'm not a fan of CZ (largely because they don't hold up, unless that's gotten better), but I've always thought I'd rather give someone a sapphire, an emerald, or a ruby. Still ridiculously expensive, actually rare, just not fitting in with the social standard, and she'd get funny looks left and right with a sapphire on her closest-to-the-heart ring finger.

But, in the case of the non-forthcomingness, I'd say fault on girl. "Communication is a two way street" - a phrase that has haunted me since my days in speech labs. It's true, though. You must be a giver and receiver, and kudos on you for at least trying, that's more than she did.
See, I hate that stereotype in which men are afraid to talk to women. Women are just as afraid to talk to men, too! And I don't know what the heck to talk about either! Miscommunication is a leading cause of failed relationships, yes, but it's equally shared by both sexes.
MissDumpling:

I completely agree. I think it's always been an equal need for both sexes, but suppressed by ideas of women's roles in certain societies. There's a whole study on it, and how women were thought to be the more sexual of the two sexes in pagan societies, etc. But, the great thing about today's society is that women can admit their sexual needs as much as men can.

Dowries are a perfect example :P. And sapphires are my favorite. My sister's engagement ring was actually a ruby with diamond accents (ruby is her birthstone which made it extra special).
edit: I hardly wear jewelry, though, to be honest. I'm just used it from all those years of working in the food business.
edit #2: I just thought I'd tack this on one of posts. Night guys, I need a nap before I get working on moving. You guys made for some great conversation, and since I feel more like I'm having a conversation than posting on forums, I thought I'd say good night!
Bodice-ripper (I think the term was) fantasies, eh?
I suspect rayxofxsunshine 's bodice/safety theory is most likely true although I'd like to throw in my cents on it.
In terms of relationships, there -sometimes- a quite noticeable dynamic of a Uke (Submissive) and a Seme (dominant). Although in reality there is a much less concrete stance on this (given the fluidity of its nature and switching etc). These roles are often exaggerated and play out in the bedroom. I hate to admit this but within my own relationship, I tend to be more of the Seme one. However, I find that I VERY much prefer being the submissive under the blankets. I like the whole power play in this. It's all about FANTASIES and what people crave.
People are so shaped by their experiences around them (I have this one guy friend who is often pushed around by women in real life and is heavily into the whole being dominant leather, ropes and stuff)
I don't believe that there is anything wrong with it. Exploring peoples fantasies does not mean that you really want "x" to happen. To me feminism is all about having the CHOICE of doing something. Sure it might look more equal if both partners were the same in bed, but the fact that I choose to do this, I find more liberating. In terms of whether or not to do it.. It really depends. I'm all for the whole exploration of what your other wants, as long as its the same the other way. Be honest to her with what you want, and just have fun with it.

Just a matter of clarification. Uke/Seme refer specifically to a homosexual relationship.
Ahh well since ive already posted. Kais86 what faction of Chaos ? Also (assuming youve played the Dawn of War series) how do you feel Tau were represented ?

Apologies :P I'm used to being in a circle of mostly bisexuals and gay girls and guys. I find it actually is much more appropriate word because Dominant/Sub has much more BDSM/Slave-Master connotations due to western porn.
babyblues: It depends on the woman, but the best advice I can possibly give is to find something you have in common with her, then build upon that steadily. Become friends, but it's very important she knows you're romantically interested in her. If you allow the friendship to persist for too long, chances are she'll think of you more like a brother than a love interest.
yea that happened to me. and I love that woman. but the reason she and I were friends for so long is because she had a boyfriend whom she recently dumped. so I was a victim of circumstance.
And as far as the reaping the benefits, I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you're not complaining about it as well. Either accept things the way they are and reap away or put up a fight and take the high road.
YAY!
I think that Men and Women in general need to realise that with great love comes great responsibility.

I heard another variation.
"With great equipment comes great power. Great power does loose"
I have a friend, and she is the first girl i've ever had true feelings for. The problem is i think she knows i more then like her, but at the same time she likes my friend ( well i don't know if she likes him but she's slept with him ) and is showing no other signs then friendship towards me, so she wants to keep being friends. If i tell her how i feel and get rejected, would it be wierd if i still wanted to be her friend, because i would still enjoy her company, or would it just be awkward and uncomfortable for her? Should i go for it or just shut my mouth and still be her friend, because up to a certain point i could actually live with it.
dude its like me and you are living the same life. I too love someone who is my friend, the only difference is I honestly don't know how she feels for me any more. She flirts with me a lot but still says she doesn't have the same feeling I do for her. So this is kinda confusing the hell out of me. So I shall ask a womans advice. Can any one of you help me?

Well, my best friend (who's a guy) had a HUGE crush on me, and told me so. We had our phases, but in the end we remained friends. I don't find it weird at all, in fact, I love the relationship we have because we were so open and honest. Now, I don't know if it's going to be the same with you and her, but take a chance! Tell her how you feel, tell her you have it in you to love her as so much more than just friendship, and if she wants to remain as friends, that's fine, but you want to take a chance and tell her your feelings. If it becomes too awkward, take some time away from each other. Then revisit your friendship, and if it is as strong as it sounds, you'll still be friends.
But from a third party observer, it sounds a little messed up if you don't know if she likes your friend, but she slept with him. Not to bash her or anything, but that's not really making her out to be the true to you during the relationship type.
Albino Ninja: dude its like me and you are living the same life. I too love someone who is my friend, the only difference is I honestly don't know how she feels for me any more.

First of all, is she really flirting? and does she flirt with other guys the same way? If she is just being nice, then you know she doesn't have the same feelings for you. If she acts more brotherly than flirty, you know you're in the friend zone. I think the easiest thing for you to do at this point is to think about how you really feel and confess. You never know what will happen, and it's the easiest most straight-forward way to clear the air.

People need to realize that your actions affect others, and someone's always watching.
Labyrinth: "another question for the ladies; do you sometimes feel that you should put off some weight? If yes, how often?"
I like my curves. I fit an Australian size 12, and like it that way. As for these skinny women... ick. Women should be squishy, in my opinion. As such, I am.
Oh thank god, i thought only guys thought like that. I swear i feeling like feeding girls sometime only to make sure they eat something more then a carrot.
I gotta agree with you there. contrary to popular belief there is such a thing as too skinny.
DeadMG: Why is it that my girlfriend isn't interested in sex, ever? It's madness. She seems to have the bodice-ripping thing (?) mentioned above, but why would I want to dominate my partner? I'm with her because I love her, not me. She gives off such mixed signals all the time. I mean, we talk about bodice ripping thing where girls get off on being dominated by men, and she was really totally passive about everything, but me being dominant totally didn't work for either of us :cry
First of all, something that doesn't work for EITHER of you, whether it's just one or both, should be ruled out. Sex is about love and doing what feels good (to put it bluntly), so if it doesn't feel good to one of you, you should stop. The fact that she is passive means she has no opinion, and chances are that's because she hasn't either had enough experience or enough good experience to form one. No girl who has had her socks rocked off in a sexual sense will ever forget it, and most of the time will try to repeat it. And who said ANYONE has to be dominated. Try and make it about each other. Try and suggest new things until something feels right. If she remains passive, try to talk about it openly. It's a weird subject for some people, but if you guys aren't getting fulfilled sexually with each other, it will lead to frustration and tension, and you don't need that to get in the way of enjoying each other.
The problem is that she refuses to tell me what she really wants. She doesn't have an opinion of her own (or at least, she makes it look that way), but she won't accept mine. I would be perfectly happy to do what she wants, she just won't tell me what, and doesn't seem to do anything because she enjoys it, as if she feels inexplicably guilty afterwards. It's like trying to have sex with a rubber doll, where she seems to enjoy it but never comes back for more or takes any kind of active role, what so ever. It's not the first time I have mentioned it to her. She just won't communicate with me about what she really feels. Had a bad experience together where for six months, she just wouldn't tell me what was wrong. It didn't just put our sex lives on hold, but there were a couple of other problems as well (mainly her parents being psychotic control freaks) and it really felt like I was losing her and .. "Oh, I didn't want to bother you with my stupid problems", and after everything that did to us, it still took her so long.. am I supposed to believe that everything is fine and dandy now, or does she habitually lie to me to make me feel better?
Okay sorry everyone as this is totally off topic but just out of curiosity. What army does he collect ? Also what series.
