On a mildly related note, this is the reason why I couldn't understand why people found butts attractive. It's what you sit on and where poop comes out. There's nothing remotely sexy about that so I was at a loss. Was. :o |

It's not all about you. Brandy wasn't put on this earth just to please you. Back off and give her a little respect. She knows you're interested in those things now, and if she ever decides she's up for trying it, she'll let you know. That ball's in her court now - don't bring it up anymore. And don't hold a grudge against her for something you wouldn't be willing to do, either. |

I remember when that Pegging thread was first started. I walked in there (with no clue what it was) and felt my retinas start to burn out of my face. |

I googled the 5 LL and decided to take the quiz. Although I don't get into those kinds of books/authors, I thought it would be fun to see if the numbers matched me.
Words of affirmation -8 I can agree on that. Quality Time -6 That's about right for me. I do like "me" time, sometimes. Receiving gifts -4 That's about right. Acts of Service -4 That one was off. Physical Touch -8 That's about right, but I thought I would score a little higher than 8. I love hugs and kisses. Especially, if that leg is crossed and some skin on that thigh is showing, I gotta go ahead and "cop a feel". :D |

Female = biological sex Women = gender I still do not believe that thoughts and feelings about sex differ based on biological sex as much as people pretend that they do. If there is a difference based on gender, it is mostly because people keep saying that it exists and therefore continuing to teach that it should exist. Women who give less of an emotional damn about sex are frowned upon just like women who aren't nurturing and do not want children. Men who are emotional about sex have their masculinity questioned just like men who are nurturers. Quote:
I really wish men were as emotionless, thoughtless, and Penis Powerful** as people pretend that they are. If men were as such they would not have to protest so much to prove that they are. Both women and men think about and have emotions about a myriad of things regardless of whether they outwardly express these thoughts and emotions. Hell hath no fury like a man scorned. **The average man thinks his penis is larger, more powerful, and more pleasurable than it is. Tell these men that they are not as awesome as they think they are and watch a grown man cry. If that is not a hormonal, gendered, emotional, and brain driven bond to sexuality, I do not know what is. |
Well, I was able to to bring a laptop on tour so I thought I'd get this done. Starfish and I broke up. We figured out that as strong as we are when were together, we still have a lot of time apart and even when we do get back together in December we probably wouldn't have a lot of time together. So it goes.

Awww I'm sorry to read that. :( *hugs laptop*

When someone says they do not want any children or do not want any more children, do not say things like "awwwww, you should have at least one (or one more)" and "I think you would be a good mother (or father)!"
That is as dumb, inappropriate, and disrespectful as saying to someone who does want children or wants another child "awww, you should not have any" and "I think you would be a horrible mother (or father)!" We are talking about a human life here and not buying a puppy or painting the living room. Children are big responsibilities and even when they are not cute and are stressful, they are still your kids. It is not as though the stork will let you borrow a baby in the event that you want one and then pick the baby up should you decide against it. |
I don't particularly want kids (this could change, I'm still very young) but I don't mind when people say "you'd be such a good mom though!" I think they mean it as a compliment. And I usually respond with "yes, but I can also use those skills in other ways" and leave it at that.
But I understand, it's frustrating when people don't a. respect your feelings on a matter and b. don't seem to comprehend the massive responsibility that is parenthood. |
:) I see that as surface-level compliments. They do not know either way and they are typically saying that based on the assumption that girls and women are nurturers whose ultimate goal is to take care of children.
It reminds me of many years ago when someone I knew saw me and said "hello, how are you doing?!" That person was not paying attention to my response because when I coughed and said "I feel horrible, I have a bad cold" the person smiled and said "good" and kept walking. Or maybe that person was listening and wished ill towards me which brings me back to my original point.:p |

When I took the "5 Love Languages" thingie, I thought my score was kind of accurate, I guess.
For words of affirmation I got a 7. Quality time, I got an 11 Gifts -0 Acts of service -8 Physical touch -4 Fun stuff. :) |
In a lot of ways, Languages of Love tests are a sort of inverse horoscope - you're bound to get what you want out of it, except here, you can explicitly game the system using the questions.
So it's not surprising most of us feel the test results are vaguely accurate. That's by design. |

And also that there's no real use in debating/discussing the "accuracy" of the testing, since you give yourself the values/scores. Application > 'accuracy' in this regard. |

And some people get mad when I tell them just that because I have ruined their eureka moment in which the Love Languages was supposed to tell them something brand new about themselves. LOL.
People love quick fixes and delivered knowledge. |

^^^I got that book years ago and still haven't read it. Aside from not really wanting to read it (I heard a lot about it and got curious)....IDK it seemed like such a basic concept, I wasn't sure how there could be an entire book about it. You just summed it up in like 2 sentences.
I decided to take the 5LL quiz again to see if it's changed since I took it a few years ago. It hasn't. Well, maybe a little since Touch and Quality Time are tied but they were so close before (like 10 and 9) that I don't see a huge difference. Words of Affirmation-6 Quality Time-10 Receiving Gifts-3 Acts of Service-1 Physical Touch-10 |
