What do you think are some good conversations, questions, and other ways to figure out if you're a good fit?

How would it play out?

Sweet, not desperate/fake, interested in me, takes care of herself.

they're more afraid

I think it can be a really nice type of relationship. I don't have a sister and I think it's sort of similar to a brother sister relationship. Being friends with a woman in a non sexual relationship really adds some variety being around someone with mutual interests but you're also so different in some ways, and it definitely helps you get in touch with your feminine side, in a sexual relationship that doesn't really happen and I'm not sure you would want it to.

Biden is an old white guy career politician, Obama was a young black guy, the numbers can't be compared equally, conservatives(including minority conservatives) as a whole are more reliable voters.

Maybe one of the Psych experts on here can tell me it's something from my childhood, but I prefer female friends a bit more than male. Straight male here, their men don't like it though. I like the contrast, and dudes are usually painfully insecure; you can feel them often comparing themselves to you, with women they just like you!

/\ Exactly. Go to Wal-Mart and tell me true freedom is "regulated"

See that everything is connected and that the only way anything is "good" for you or anything is if it is good for everything, you no longer separate yourself from everything, you no longer have a desire to harm anything for "selfish" desires. You see even the "bad" in the world is purposeful and you see everything as beautiful.

When you realize all those different "thoughts" are not your thoughts, they're just all the contradictions you've been taught by others. You can't figure out what mentality to have, or which way to think about life, because it's not something you can explain in words, you know what makes you peaceful just follow that.

All you need is one woman, I wouldn't think about them all as a collective. A few or even many not wanting to be with you really doesn't mean anything, people have vastly different sorts of things that they like and don't like in others. Work on being the person you want to be, the closer you get the more you will value yourself and the less you'll care what anyone thinks, and remember people are fools and it'd be foolish to care what they think or follow their valuation.

I'd reread some of the details

I think you mentioned alcohol regulation before, that goes right over my head, I see no restriction on alcohol, not even for kids, sure speed bumps but it was as available as lemonade when I was a kid 15 years ago. Some kids drank at school.

I think I agree, but would you elaborate? There are many reasons for me but most people especially non poor get away with using drugs, this is not good if it is illegal, what does it communicate about law to everyone? It means we're corrupt, so then what's the point of laws? To be used selectively as a weapon, dishonestly, unethically.

Do you think the war on drugs has any negative repercussions?

Guess there's no point in ever discussing anything like this ever then huh? Little Timmy in Portugal didn't start shooting up therefore open the flood gates.

He said it would be, not that it is in those countries, there are obviously different variables elsewhere, I don't agree with him but who wants to live in an echo chamber, don't jump down his throat, he wasn't being disrespectful, give him a chance to explain first. Statistics don't mean sh!t sometimes

It's an opinion. You can't say its factually wrong, those were specific circumstances and settings that don't translate everywhere. Maybe give him a chance to explain himself before pushing him off a cliff

? Now you have me all screwed up, I don't think a strong woman desires to be wanted. I think most women do though. In a relationship I mean feeling needed, not during initial attraction. I think I've known strong women and they love being needed, not in a desperate need sort of way but a part of the team sort of way. I'm not saying you're wrong by the way, I would if I was sure, I'm curious.

Wouldn't the woman feel unneeded? That's often a big issue. I think our needs compliment each other, men like to give women what they need. But that is a need on the side of the man, if a man doesn't feel that he is he will despise the relationship. And a woman needs to feel that the man has that need, we call all of this love? I'm not sure what type of needs you're talking about giving up, but if a woman NEEDS something, every man likes to play the shining knight and sacrifice an arm or leg let alone a need. The problem is SOME men don't yet know the needs of women and many women won't initiate verbal communication about them.

Yeah, skill, work, forgiveness, self sacrifice; none of which are too hard once you understand though. I don't think that's uncommon among men.

I don't think women are as fragile as reading that sounds to me. But that was not what I meant by my reply to you, I guess I misunderstood you.

Culturally though. And you have school shootings and mass killings, and we're about the size of all of Europe.

And if you don't kill them or hurt them to a point they can't afford your products I don't see how that's any worse than most marketed items. If they do die or cease to function, you go out of business, self regulation Many people still choose to avoid legal marijuana edibles, I would

Deutschland is a bit more culturally homogenous than the u.s., it's harder for us to communicate and understand each other; which I think requires more grace from us There's your different settings? I'd prefer my children live in a free society with the risk of slaughter than in a peaceful cage. But yes it's disgusting our children are slaughtered at school. I support gun reform, only out of a show of compassion though not because I think it solves the problem.
