Yea man. Wide-leg stance, sitting on hands, it all says something
Yeah, the one guy started studying Daniel Negreanu and he found that he always got this jittery leg twitch whenever he had a monster hand. He actually tracked him down and told him to stop doing it.
Steepling of the hands (fingertips touching fingertips and pointing upwards in the shape of a church steeple), and holding your cards cupped with both hands and thumbs pointing up are indications of a strong hand. Legs wrapped around or interlocked with the chair legs emotes a sense of insecurity.
Women who put a shoeless caressing foot between your legs under the table want to play a different game with you later on ...
amazing how it all works
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
I can tell you it made kissing somewhat dangerous for the eyes!!
Needless to say we broke up!!
Whoa....you dated HellBoy!

That doesn't prove decades of research wrong. It simply suggests that parents are powerless to do anything on an individual basis.
Research is on paper. Watching an experiment unfold in front of your eyes is very real. BIG difference. Scientists can quote science til they're blue in the face, but until they can actually prove over and over again their theories are true through experimentation, it means nothing, really.
I got no problem with people co-habiting. I just reckon it's a minefield to negotiate. And that's if you are living with a partner, kids, family members or flatmates. I've never managed to successfully cohabit with a male sexual partner in that I was but I'm not now. If the definition of success be longevity then I've failed I guess. If I am in a situation where I would want to live with a man again, and he with me, then I guess we'll both be negotiating a fair deal for both of us then. I would like to think that we could have a happy, healthy equal partnership. That will always be my aim.
And as to sleeping around ss, well sorry, but yeah, I do believe if you wanna get your rocks off go for it!! Just don't be lying, cheating and scheming about it. AND make sure you practice safe sex. That's my blanket take on the situation and covers both men and women. And if you want to abstain, or sleep with one person for the rest of your life that's cool too. imo. Whatever floats your boat. Sex is one of the few true pleasures left in this world. And as it's all about love I say bring it on!!
im not opposed to cohabiting. im opposed to the 'sex and the city' lifestyle. sleeping with whoever is drunk enough to go home with you. one night stands are stupid, period. i dont care how careful you are, it's playing russian roulette. the whole free love thing is nonsense and it's dangerous. hedonism is problematic.
now, im not saying you should only have sex withint the holy bonds of matrimony. just that you should be on your back for every guy that asks. and guys shouldnt be sticking it into any girl he can get the clothes off of. marriage isnt for everyone, and if you've no interest in long term commitment, cohabiting is probably not wise... you're going to get sick of the person but that doesn't mean you should be banging everything you can just becos it feels good.

Well I guess that's cool ss. You've obviously had a think about it and that's what suits you.
I don't see anything wrong with one night stands.
I'm not saying that it's a way of life that should be embraced as the way to go for ever for an individual, but I think that some people, at points in their life, are ruled by their hormones, or urges and that's ok. When you know better you do better. People get lonely, and they crave physical connection. I don't think wasting time trying to make a relationship out of an attraction or missing out is always the best option. If you wanna have meaningless sex, sure go for it. If you don't that's cool too. Obviously all owner onus applies.
I never said I had no interest in long term commitment, I just question whether it's actually achievable. Obviously it's become quite the question, you only have to look at the divorce rate. Ultimately I would love to believe that there is some one for everyone and that cohabitation and/or marriage is an achievable ideal for me. But I don't ever kid myself that even supposing I manage this, that I won't at some point be sick of him or he of me. Hopefully, we will find each other, give it a go, and when we do have moments of boredom, we are able to work through them and move forward together.

i think the sole benefit of marriage is 1) a more stable environment for children and 2) when you're old and tired of fucking you've got a good friend with you to help you deal with the embarrassments of being an old fart.
and yeah, everyone goes through a phase in the 20s where they're fucking everything that moves... but like you said, i dont think it's a way of long term life. it's like a culture of permanent adolescence. vanity, shallowness, selfishness, and irresponsibility. at some point you've got to grow up... and it seems to me a lot of people dont want to do that anymore. they're 40 and still wanting to bang 20 year old girls and live the college dorm life. it's just kinda pathetic and i've never met a person like that who seemed truly happy.

Well I'd hope that I'd get more out of a marriage than that!
Not that I want to mentally scar you for life, but old farts still have active sex lives you know. And as I won't be having kids, most likely, I probably view marriage more as being committed to my best friend for life and having him make that same commitment to me. Or for as long as we were happy together, whichever came first. But I totally agree that a happy, healthy, stable marriage is what I would want to have to provide a stable environment for my children. Um, are you expecting to get so old that you are tired of sex? I don't know, I think I aspire to a higher mental and emotional connection with someone. And that if I don't achieve that in my life, that's ok, my life will still be full and happy, but I would like to have that, try that one on for size, regardless of whether sex was always on the table or not.
And I agree about your second point. Although I have met people in their 40's and beyond who maintain a single life with selected sexual partners over time, that are very happy and well adjusted. They just aren't wired to be married or give up sex. I think they're like into serial monogomy.
Lately I've had the unfortunate experience of spending time around newly divorced folk in their late 30's, early 40's who are on the prowl, looking for new opportunities to mix. Some of the behaviours have been quite disturbing to watch. :eek: And it's bloody sad to see.
For example, many men would say women are worse drivers because they try to multi-task, chatting on their phones, doing their make-up, etc.. Meanwhile, women will say men are worse drivers because their testosterone and macho mentality. The insurance companies using their accuators will tell you that women are statistically better drivers. However, I've never caused an accident, I've been in several, one that almost took my life as a child and within all my power, I will not do that to someone else. I don't talk on my cell-phone while driving, I mostly ignore my passengers, my focus is on the road and I obey every law of the road. Both of those stereotypes are wrong, it comes down to the individual.
So you're saying you choose, through your own freewill, to not fit into a stereotype and be an individual? :D;)

I think this was the thread, you said that statistics showed men are the cause of more domestic violence. I didn't have time to respond right away, but here it is, from statistics Canada.
Five-year rates of spousal violence
The results of the 1999 General Social Survey (GSS)
suggest that violence in marriages and common-law
unions is a reality that many women and men face. In
Canada, it is estimated that 7% of people who were
married or living in a common-law relationship during
the past 5 years experienced some type of violence by
their intimate partners. The 5-year rate of violence was
similar for women and men (8% and 7%, respectively)1
(Figure 2.1). Overall, this amounts to approximately
690,000 women and 549,000 men who had a current or
former partner and reported experiencing at least one
incident of violence.
I'm pretty sure this came up in a thread about domestic violence. Still, people don't believe me.

"I think these scenarios are very sad, and completely unfair. Having said that, the reason that the procedures and laws are in place that are is because of statistics. In order for the statistics to change and then impact on the procedures, means that more men need to come forward. It also means that this scenario is currently happening more to women than men. What should we do about that?"
That's what I said Ryan. Not that men are the cause of more domestic violence. Now give me a minute so I can try to get my brain in order to read and absorb. Just wanted to repeat what I had said, coz it seems a little different to what you are saying, that's all.

What should we do about all violence? Not just women. I'm seriously offended by your position on this Jeanie. As I'm sure all these male victims would be as well. It's not just you, but any woman that's ever been the victim of DV takes offense to me saying it's equal between men and women. I'm sick of this fucking bullshit. It's a bad stereotype, it's wrong, you are wrong, I've proven it, wake up, open your eyes, and get off your self-pitying trip. I've been attacked with knives, had a knife around my throat, knives thrown at me, threatened to be killed in my sleep, attacked with a fork, a cast iron frying pan, and a punched and slapped several times. It's fucking pathetic that it's degraded to me being a wuss for not taking a knife to the throat, or for not letting my GF kick me in the balls, or to say that it's not as bad as a man punching a woman in the tits. It's fucking bullshit.

you're not a wuss, but just becos you got caught up with some fucked up women doesn't mean your experience is the norm. how many women are killed or hospitalized by violent male partners each year? and how many men?

Seriously, now you are saying that severity matters. So if a guy punches a woman in the tit, or a woman kicks a man in the balls, it's not Domestic Violence? Or it doesn't matter because some guy killed his wife some other time?

no, im saying it is domestic violence and should be stopped. how many GUYS' dicks are cut off? it's not exactly common. but severity does matter. when a girl sticks a knife at your throat, you ought to be strong enough to disarm her without hurting her. the fact is a girl can wail on a guy all night and do minimal damage and a guy can kill a girl with one punch in the heat of the moment. and yes, murder is more serious than mere assault. no domestic violence is acceptable. but you cannot blame people for targeting male on female violence more becos that KILLS women easily and often. men dont die from domestic squabbles nearly as often. im sorry you were almost one of them, but your experience isn't exactly typical. it's not fair, but neither is life. you're stronger. if some bitch comes at you... disarm her and leave.

I'm not stronger than most women dude. I'm actually a weakling. I just know how the physics of force work so I can deliver a deadly punch to a fucking body builder. Women can take down men too, it's not about physical mass, it's about velocity, impact radius and pressure points. I can link you a video of a girl knocking a guy out with one punch. They are roughly the same size, except he's a guy and has more muscle mass. That bullshit didn't stop my 200 lbs friend Shandel from jumping on her 80 lbs boyfriend and crushing him while he was sleeping. Those stereotypes you use to justify a stereotype are also bullshit.
Once again, violence in general is bad, we shouldn't focus on one side, it's bullshit, it's sexism, plain and simple. Ignorance alone would ignore it.

Any act of violence is unacceptable, whether coming from a female or male. I don't buy into the prioritizing based on size, gender, etc, either, Ahnimus. I pulled a knife on my boyfriend about 17 years ago, when in the midst of post partum depression. It was a traumatic situation for him--he knew he could not trust me, rightfully so. I've heard other strong men talk about how abuse from women half their size affected them--psychologically, it can run deep. And then beyond that, to have society minimize the situation in any way, I would imagine is bothersome or beyond.

it's not sexism, it's realizing the world is imperfect and you cannot stop every bad thing form happening to everyone, so sometimes you have to pick your battles. your friend shandel is, again, atypical. and yeah, you can kill someone easily with one punch, but how many people know how to deliver that kind of punch? very few. a guy with no training can take a swing and a girl dies. a girl with no training is not going to kill a guy with several punches unless she gets incredibly lucky.

I've been attacked with knives, had a knife around my throat, knives thrown at me, threatened to be killed in my sleep, attacked with a fork, a cast iron frying pan, and a punched and slapped several times. It's fucking pathetic that it's degraded to me being a wuss for not taking a knife to the throat, or for not letting my GF kick me in the balls, or to say that it's not as bad as a man punching a woman in the tits. It's fucking bullshit.
you're not a wuss, but just becos you got caught up with some fucked up women doesn't mean your experience is the norm. how many women are killed or hospitalized by violent male partners each year? and how many men?
How many women's dicks are cut off?
Seriously, now you are saying that severity matters. So if a guy punches a woman in the tit, or a woman kicks a man in the balls, it's not Domestic Violence? Or it doesn't matter because some guy killed his wife some other time?
no, im saying it is domestic violence and should be stopped. how many GUYS' dicks are cut off? it's not exactly common. but severity does matter. when a girl sticks a knife at your throat, you ought to be strong enough to disarm her without hurting her. the fact is a girl can wail on a guy all night and do minimal damage and a guy can kill a girl with one punch in the heat of the moment. and yes, murder is more serious than mere assault. no domestic violence is acceptable. but you cannot blame people for targeting male on female violence more becos that KILLS women easily and often. men dont die from domestic squabbles nearly as often. im sorry you were almost one of them, but your experience isn't exactly typical. it's not fair, but neither is life. you're stronger. if some bitch comes at you... disarm her and leave.
I'm not stronger than most women dude. I'm actually a weakling. I just know how the physics of force work so I can deliver a deadly punch to a fucking body builder. Women can take down men too, it's not about physical mass, it's about velocity, impact radius and pressure points. I can link you a video of a girl knocking a guy out with one punch. They are roughly the same size, except he's a guy and has more muscle mass. That bullshit didn't stop my 200 lbs friend Shandel from jumping on her 80 lbs boyfriend and crushing him while he was sleeping. Those stereotypes you use to justify a stereotype are also bullshit.
Once again, violence in general is bad, we shouldn't focus on one side, it's bullshit, it's sexism, plain and simple. Ignorance alone would ignore it.

it's not sexism, it's realizing the world is imperfect and you cannot stop every bad thing form happening to everyone, so sometimes you have to pick your battles. your friend shandel is, again, atypical. and yeah, you can kill someone easily with one punch, but how many people know how to deliver that kind of punch? very few. a guy with no training can take a swing and a girl dies. a girl with no training is not going to kill a guy with several punches unless she gets incredibly lucky.
i dont date pissed off psycho bitches. i fuck them and throw them out.
