As you rightly say, you interact with a nice looking person, and while doing so form an opinion as to whether he/she would be a good mate, the same occurs when talking with someone less attractive, only then you would just interact without moving on to a more flirtatious stage. My comment about Intellect and strength were not regarding looks but as a general view when we are interacting with a possible new partner, it is human nature, to ensure that our offspring will survive, that you no longer wish for children does not mean that the inbuilt sub conscious wish list has faded
I would think the answer to your question is a resounding
YES
But, if you are trying to make fun of me and my lack of a picture, may I point out that I am NOT seeking a partner here so one is not required, I am just here to enjoy the Forum, my work would not allow me to have a successful relationship let alone actually start one.
I am sorry, what situation? What is harsh? I am just putting forward an example. The fact remains that in my view, those who say looks don't matter are lying to themselves and therefore could lie within a relationship.
Sorry if I am being blunt but I am responding to the OP with total honesty
You live in the UK, so make an appointment to see a legal rep at your local Citizens Advise Bureau (CAB). They can usually help in most cases or refer you someone that can, they also help with legal aid etc if you are able to claim it
What about initial attraction? Prior to actually talking?
It is a human nature that we all look at the features of a potential mate, it is part of our survival hormone, in that we want to ensure that our offspring will be strong intelligent and ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER MATE.
How many of you guys can honestly say that you have no problem waking up next to your partner who has features that actually disgust you, because inside you know beats a heart of gold? Get real!
Of course looks matter, if you cannot be honest about that you cannot be honest within a relationship, that we can adjust to how a person changes with time is not the question here, it is all to do with initial attraction.
These animals were bred specifically for this research, to determine whether the stem cell, when placed into the animal would stop the progress of a particular disease.
I have recently returned from a trip to the US of A where I had the fortune to be shown the latest technology for stem cell research, where, by using laboratory animals these amazing scientists have discovered a way to possibly cure or at least slow down and stop Alzheimer's disease.
This is just the beginning of a new field in medicine, which, from what was explained to me could lead to not only eradicating disease but also find a cure to the number one killer of humans “Cancer”
How do you feel about:- 1 Stem cell research 2 using Laboratory animals to find these cures
Strange how all the “unrest” seems to be from the International forum, I read the other forums but don’t post, as I spend much time travelling between Europe and the states, so the INT is more in line with my character, as an observer though, I have noticed that there are some members who seem to delight in jumping into a thread, blatantly showing they have not read the previous posts and pages, and then stir up with a large degree of subtlety, some are clever and do it without being noticed, some are quite open and forceful, not just direct but rude and offensive.
When you read the local forums, although they also suffer from fools, they seem to control the ignorance themselves, rarely has a ban taken place in the EU or UK or Canada forums, which are the ones I tend to read most.
The answer, if you don’t like it go away, no-one is holding a gun to your head, or perhaps just post in your local forum and stay away from the more volatile International one.
That you have friends in real life is an eye opener
If someone has BO like the scent of a skunk its only fair that they are told by their friends.
I am sure even you would agree that finding a women who is attracted to that scent would be difficult, therefore you would wash and use a deodorant, It would be the decent thing to do Oh look you just changed, the same would apply to annoying habits done purely to irritate, if you find that hard to believe, think about why you are on a dating site!!!
You missed off, attention seeking mindless and uneducated arsehole Lets be honest here, you asked for opinions so here’s mine You add you postscript to grab the attention that your missing in real life, you are aware that it irritates so obviously you are not here to find a companion, so you find solace in the forum. Thats fine, but, how will you cope when you slowly find out that people are actually turning away from threads you create, who stop reading anything you post, I think you will find that a lot harder to deal with than you think, if you are as unbalanced as you say, this will not help you in any way shape or size. Pissing people off in the short term is not a problem, doing so in the long term will have repercussions.
At this exact moment, I am sitting in a bar, drinking coffee smoking a "ciggarette" and watching people cross the square oppersit, all while typing on a computer.
The change to which you refer would not happen overnight, therefore time would allow for the training and then replacement of a new regime of reporters.
Besides, there will always be noisy people only too happy to pass on gossip
Hmm Judas / Pope....... I see some similarities, both love lots of money, both sacrifice others to get power, both betrayed someone who was a true follower, there is a pattern here!!!
Maybe it’s because women see through your facade and realise that you really are just seeing them as second class citizens, put there just for your amusement. Then again it could just be they just don’t like you, but see that they can make money out of your ignorance.
I agree, much of his predictions are open to various interpretations but for the main you can see something major will happen in 2012, most likely ww3 between west and east. The point is we are in a position NOW to ensure this does not happen by creating a peace between religions and nations.
Forget windows it's just a ploy to regenerate more money, wait for the new Google Operation system to be released that will work on all PC's and will wipe the floor with Microsoft and as it's based on Linux will be faster and more secure.
Vista is still the major selling os in the UK for Pc based machines, but more and more dealers are offering an either/or option with win or Linux, from my colleagues in the UK many companies are now moving to Linux due to its stability over both intranet and internet, plus cutting costs in av software etc. The print server software is untouchable even by Mac standards (I am an Apple Guy) its very fast and a piece of p&*s to install and setup. Before moving to Italy I was involved with the setting up of 50+ Estate Agents UK wide all to have networked Linux servers, one of the best installs I ever had to do. Unlike wincrap it actually worked first time with minimum downtime for tweaking.
RE: Dog Accessories vs Human Poverty
I am sorry but this sounds too much like jealousy.How do you know how much she and others contribute to charities?
The point is it's not YOUR money it's hers, to spend how she likes; it is none of your business whether she buys a 20 cent bag or 2000 dollar one.
The cheap manufacturer is probably from China and keeps most of the money
The luxury manufacturer is probably USA or Europe and will also contribute to charity if only as a tax deduction.
