Is anyone familiar with the use of Botox treatments for jaw-clenching/teeth-grinding issues? I'd like some advice please, preferably from persons who may have had the treatment themselves or know of persons who did.
Whilst I know 'some' things about it, the insights drawn from actual experience is very valuable to me. Thanks much.
Humbly, this conversation attaches a derogatory meaning to persons who may not have an 'expected' level of cognitive/mental capacity as others who consider themselves "intelligent" might. It mentions nothing of the fact that their 'lack' may be due to significant causes, nor that there are various levels of intelligence wherein they may fall, only the apparent 'discomfort' that lack casts on others. It's purpose offers no 'crediting' to any except to those who esteem themselves as being "intelligent".
IMHO, it is distasteful and unconscionable to have a general discussion which labels human beings as "dumb", when the truth is that there a different levels of intelligence and anyone could be "dumb" or "intelligent" about different things in different situations.
Even the most well-educated/knowledgeable/intelligent person could be prone to making dumb decisions, but then "dumb" should refer to the decisions, not the person. For example, it is said that "Intelligent women have a tendency to make poor (dumb) decisions when it come to love and relationships.
It has been my observation that persons perceived as "dumb" are usually labelled such by those who consider themselves to be "intelligent", much like some are labelled as "poor" by those who consider themselves wealthy/better off. A question of perspective?
Certainly, if one is truly intelligent, one would realize and appreciate the fact that without the varied levels of intelligence that has been, and continue to be an integral part of life, there would still be a big boring blob of self-consumed "intellectuals" whose conversations revolve around "Intelligent world vs dumb world".
I think that you are right, but I also think that the reason women may do so is based in Intuition and Self-preservation. Standards are usually different for women than they are for men...
I'm turned off by a man who's lazy about his personal hygiene/health and appearance (e.g. breath and teeth, body odor, nails and clothing, etc), a tendency to talk about himself but not showing much interest in getting to know about me, and who demonstrates a lack of chivalry.
"Separate bank accounts with bills shared 50/50 with separate investments and charities"
I've had the unfortunate experience of sharing a joint account with my now ex-husband, as well as heard about other women who'd lost their savings at the hands of their respective spouses. It is not something that I wish on any one else (and maybe, not even my worst enemy).
So, are you suggesting that I NOT expect a gentleman to be generous, or is it that men think that "generous" only refers to money?
A generous person is one who enjoys sharing his/her time, knowledge, space, physical and emotional substance, and his other resources (money included). It is 'who' the person IS, not merely 'what' he/she has or does.
I'd like to think that someone who's "gentlemanly" and "kind" would also be preconditioned to be generous, without even an expectation from me though :)
He has to be gentlemanly - respectful, kind, patient, caring - have a good sense of humour, pragmatic, God fearing and resourceful. I don't think that this is too much of ask for
