The Lounge	If natural selection prefers beauty, health and fitness -	Jun 27 2008 16:24 (UTC)	19
I have a different understanding of this article. People are quite obsessed with the idea of beauty in this century. I am just an average looking girl. There are a lot of times in my shallow high school years that I want to be those "Flawless" barbies dolls in school. However, if I am going to have children in the future, I wished they are just normal looking. I prefered my children to be just average or maybe even consider "not the pretty one" in the social standard over beautiful. Beautiful people get special treatment. The strong one might come out to be beautiful and successful. However, most of them will grow weak and pathetic. I am just hoping that my children will have character intelligence, and self-reliance. Fixation on beauty is human nature. THat's nothing we can do about it. That's why some people worship beautiful people. But wisdom is what come when you understand nature, and thus are in a position to make a conscious decision whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, useful or wasteful. My point is when there are so many beautiful women and men in the world, why some of them would settle with someone that are less attractive? Because the "not-so-attractive" one have survived the cruelty of this world and have became so much stronger. Therefore, why would I choose a weak and beautiful one over a strong and self confident mate?

The Lounge	Is it ok to judge people by their friends?	Feb 18 2008 23:12 (UTC)	2
maybe it is just me, but i get a feeling that some of you tried to make a clear distinction that your friends can be a total screw up in life, but you can still be decent. but what i don't understand is that of course we can't change other's life by simply telling them what to do or what not to do... but a true friend is someone who will help friends to get out of bad habit and encourage friends to do good. friend means different thing to different people. you can call someone you hang out with everyday friend... but if someone is really your true friend that you trully love, is it still okay if that person smoke pot everyday? if that's okay to you, then i won't judge you by your friends... but.. doesn't that tell me something about your values?
The Lounge	Leave us skinny fat people alone. WE ARE NOT ANOREXIC	Feb 04 2008 22:28 (UTC)	13
i disagreed with you chop_chop. i believe that all human judge. we are not perfect. we all judge whether you want to admit that or not. People that don't hate themselves still judge cause that doesn't mean that they have no preferences. Happy people get sad too. Afterall, the only person I know who doesn't judge is jesus christ.

dear pennie, it is not you who is posting this post. it is your insecurity. who are you not to be attractive, wonderful and amazing? your boyfriend is not a fool. if you are so worthless, why would he ever wanna ask you out on the first date, kiss you for the first time, hold your hand, think about the future, build a house together and most importantly spend time with you? all you have to do is to convince yourself that you are too cute to be true. : ) afterall, maybe he is thinking "wow, why would a wonderful woman like pennie wanna be with me." have faith in love.

The Lounge	Internet dating... just curious?	Aug 16 2007 21:21 (UTC)	11
laschn (lisa) i know exactly how you feel. it really kills me because i thought i really connected to that guy, but he really just wants to "HAVE FUN". 4 months chatting. and that's really it. screw that.
The Lounge	Internet dating... just curious?	Aug 16 2007 21:19 (UTC)	12
i met a guy online through a quite presentable online dating site. he was my first match (i was like LUCKY me.) , and we hit it off really well. we talked all the time, and i really like him. then, on the first date (first time we actually met), he already tried to have sex with me. yucky. i said no... and i never heard from him again. i guess i am just unlucky. but one unlucky experience = no more online dating scene for me : ( p.s. desperate guys are sooo unattractive.
The Lounge	inter-racial dating	Jul 13 2007 14:47 (UTC)	6
dear lemon (hope it is not too impulsive) i understand your situation so well. it is just hard. my parents just don't even talk about it at home. my sisters love this boy i see, and he has been nothing but kind to my family. i am not saying he is the one, but i just hope that my family will eventually give love a chance. (sorry that was really cheesy.) p.s. my family has a big thing against japanese... so if i date a jap boy, oh i am so gonna be disowned. I think history is important, and it has definied who I am. However, I just don't want to live in the past.

my parents are quiet about me dating this white boy as well. they are hoping that i will break up wtih him soon. maybe i am too naive to think that they will accept it soon.. or they are just being irrational. i don't know. i mean this boy knows how to speak chinese and he knows how to use chopstick better than i do. how can i not like someone who likes my culture more than i do?
The Lounge	What do woman want?	Jul 12 2007 20:12 (UTC)	57
oh no ! i don't mean it that way. sorry. just that i know sometimes i got desperate after a relationship is over and just want someone to care about me.. and i found myself very unattractive being that way. but you are smart enough and emotional capable enough to not make that mistake : D
The Lounge	What do woman want?	Jul 12 2007 19:58 (UTC)	63
as long as you treat the girl the way you want to be treated, i am sure you can find someone in no time. one practical opinion, i just think desperate men are so unattractive. so just chill, and girls will dig you.

The Lounge	hard to be a catholic	Jul 10 2007 14:12 (UTC)	42
first of all, thanks for all the replies. they all help honestly. you see, i like this boy oh so much that i give him so much control. we have never done anything more than kissing. i keep everything PG13. and because i wanna please him so bad.. it just hurts. have you ever liked someone so much that it hurts? it is ridiculous. maybe it is just me. he knows my value and understands i am very uptight, but i am just not enjoying our time making out fearing that he might try to step over my boundary. i am not the touchy touchy person.. i don't really do hug you know...
The Lounge	hard to be a catholic	Jul 09 2007 20:27 (UTC)	78
well. now you all know one. i went to catholic school my whole life, and i was really affected by the religion. just this new bf of mine just can't get his hand off me. i wonder how long will it take him to understand my belief or get really frustrated so that he break up with me.. thanks girls. -- p.s. it is like me against him. i don't play hard to get. i am easy in terms of offering love and care. but guess guys just don't wire that way...
The Lounge	inter-racial dating	Jul 02 2007 18:20 (UTC)	71
i know him for i don't remember how long. you know the kind of opposite sex that you just never really think there is a possibility. i don't drink at all because i get a skin itchy reaction after i just drink a little. so i was always sober in friends' parties, and i have taken him home many times... it is not the first time i hear ridiculous things out of this person's mouth after he got wasted. but isn't that odd? well, i don't know whether it is an american thing for boys or just all guys are like that, but can they talk about their emotions when they are not drunk?
The Lounge	inter-racial dating	Jul 02 2007 18:10 (UTC)	74
wow just one lunch break, and i got all these nice responses. thanks guys i really appreciated it. the boy i am seeing this friday is definitely a nice and well-educated person. However, we come from very different backgrounds. we have almost nothing in common. It was absolutely random that one day he was quite drunk himself and told me that he has liked me all these times but thought that i was really uptight. Then, he joked about how he really wants to go on a date wtih me. And because he was drunk, I just said "yeah why not." THen, when he actually called me yesterday night and made everything sounded so serious... i realized he actually likes me. i never really see him that way... and because how he always tells me how he loves girls with blonde hair... i just don't know what's up with that. i know one date doesn't hurt, but i just don't want myself to get too involved... you know. sigh. i don't know how to deal with him because i know so little about his background.

Weight Loss	I'll get a boyfriend...when im thin and fabulous	Jun 10 2007 17:20 (UTC)	9
okay. I started from 145, and now I lost about 10 pounds and wear size 4. I mean if I lose another 10 pounds, i might be able to fit into a size 2. that's really it. Nothing dramatic happened. life goes on and mean people still exist. you are never perfect in everyone's eyes. My uncle is a photographer for Elle magazine, and he told me how many times he had to photoshop the pictures even though he is shooting the most beautiful people in world. Whatever we see in magazine are FLAW. Image afterall is a combination of pixels that means almost nothing. YOu wanna look skinny in a picture? Send it to me. I make sure you look like Kate Moss. here is my story I lost 20 lbs one year, and I was wearing a size 2 sometimes a zero. I am about 5'4. But all these created a bigger disappointment for me. I might look thinner, but the boy who dumped me last year is still not gonna love me back. It is funny how I have to lose the weight to realize how much pain and suffereing I put myself through. "throw away that hamburger." "stick your finger into your throat." "destroy that ugly picture of you in bathing suit." "tell people that those are vitamin pill not diet pill." "starve. starve. starve. the less i eat, the more boys will love me.I HATE FOOD. I hate the stuffness in my mouth. I hate things going into my stomach" i feel so light that i don't even feel like i actually existed. then, that boy I was so crazy about came to my birthday party and hook up with my best friend. So now what. I throw away all my diet supplementary crap (diet pills and diet device). I ate whatever I want for about a month (let's say... about 4000 calories at least a day. I will eat so much , and my stomach can't handle the food and will hurt the whole night.) Until one day my stomach hurt to a point that I have to go to the hospital. My doctor told me I have a very bad stomach infection that it can literally turn into cancer. I ended up talking to my school therapist and realized that I was depressed. THen, my parents stopped calling me fat, chubby and realized how much they have hurt me. (My mom has three children, and she only weight 120 and she is 5'5. My dad is 135 and 5'8. They look like my brother and sister. ) Then, my mom came to live with me in college. She basically use all her vocation time from the compnay to live with me last semester. She cooked for me every night, and my dad came visit me almost every weekend. I gained weight and was about 145lbs, but for once, I was happy. We will go shopping and buy clothes the size that I will never imagine myself to wear. But it is all good. Now, eating what I want occasionally and choosing the right food, i came down to a 135 without much effort. The weight doesn't matter anymore, but food for once has finally made me smile. My mom will never get to read this, but afterall, I love her so much.

i didn't read other people's posts (there are 80 OF THEM!). I am sure if you stay healthy, more girls are gonna come to you and tell you that you are hot. Here is a old cheesy pick up line for you. "Are you a parking ticket? (What?) You got FINE written all over you." : D
