Italian researcher finds men in love experience lowered testosterone levels; women experience concomitant increase.

I guess Italian women really are more romantic, with their mustaches and all.

I thought those cookies tasted funny. And I wondered about the stems - why are there stems in these cookies, I said to myself. But then I got hungry and had to eat more cookies. And now I have this 5 pound bag of M&Ms and moldy rye. MMMMmmmm. Moldy rye.

The differing levels apparently are only around while you are in the floating around in luuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrve stage. After a couple years, they go back to normal.

And everyone starts cheating.

Spike teaches the computer class. Joey owns a used car lot; he had been married to a woman but she died. Her former husband was an abusive alcoholic. Caitlin is a TV personality who has only recently returned to town. I don't remember what Spike does, but she had another baby.

It is because you have a sexy doll as an avatar. Most of the women on this board cannot get along with women who are more attractive or get more male attention than they do.

Get an uglier doll, tell them you are pudgy and homely and they will like you. Learn from my mistakes, 'kay?

you are so conventional, no matter your unconventional act.

I have 3 wives, if you'd become 4, and I used my sex rap on 3 or 2 it woouldn't be cheating on you, it would simply be how god intended man and woman to be.

In any event, I've known a number of very hot women (by both male and female standards, whatever those are). All but one of them had a good number of female friends, even the bitchy ones, though the bitchy ones tended to have bitchier friends (not necessarily better looking and thus more "competitive" friends, I'd note). All of the hotties had a noticeable minority of women act strangely around them on occasion, but it seemed to my observation a comparable number to those who appeared to treat them with more interest or respect because of their looks.
Apparently TM's definition of a hot woman is one who wouldn't condescend to get to know me because he would be surprised if I knew any hot women.**

BRC, your experience supports my impression that if a woman is almost universally hated by other women, it is because of the way she treats them, not because they are jealous of her looks. But we must be wrong because Thurgreed says it happens all the time!

**TM, I'd say the number of hot women I've known is probably in the range of a half-dozen. I'm having a harder time coming up with a hot woman who had almost no women friends, bitchy or not. On the flip side, how many hot women do you know who have almost no women friends? Do you know how they treat other women?

Rubbish. Any assclam who thinks he's chatting on here with even ONE hottie is wasting his morning wood. It's a lawyer's message board for chrissakes. (Same for the mens, apparently with the exception of TM). Anyways, I heard that IRL you look kind of like the actress Jane Curtain (sp?) which, well... I guess she's attractive in a "a thinking man's...." kind of way.

No one here has ever seen me IRL so they don't know. I am blonde, thin, and cute with breast implants. Honestly, simply being a thin, blonde with breast implants is enough to get quite a bit of attention from men. The cute part just increases the attention.

So now the daughter of the plucky (but short) single mom and the brain-damaged dude has a two-parent family.

I can hardly wait for the series finale to that series!!!!!

I'm sure you love the update.
Aside from the questions raised in your post (what's going to happen will Joey & Caitlin be able to make it work?) I have the following questions.

1) Will Spinner learn to act?
2) Can somebody shoot Liberty, for her own good?
3) What ever happened to Ellie?
4) Can Jimmy and Ashley make a suicide pact and drown themselves in Lake Ontario?
5) Can Manny come over and play?

Speaking of our Northern Neighbor, why is it all of Canada has a reputation as a total fucking tundra for much of the year, when we don't hear the same things about South Africa or the southern tip of South America which superficially look like they have the same polar proximity? Someone in Canadian PR is asleep at the switch, I tell you what. I'd be afraid to go to Manitoba in January, and it can't possibly be closer to its nearest pole than, say, Johannesburg, which is worth avoiding for quite different reasons but always seems, um, tropical by comparison to Victoria, Toronto and Regina.

Jo-burg is much closer to the ocean than Regina is. The wind has many, many kilometers to get nasty as it whips down to Regina.

Johannesburg is only about 35 degrees south latitude (like Santa Barbara, Albuquerque, Memphis, Charlotte) whereas Winnipeg and Regina are about 50 degrees north. Buenos Aires is about 40 degrees (like Philadelphia).

You're right, Ty, that proximity to the ocean can make a big difference--Portland and Minneapolis are both at about 45 degrees north latitude, but the difference in climate is considerable. Ocean currents and the jet stream also have a non-negligible effect--that's partly why Europe is warmer than it should be based on its latitude, and Portland is also considerably warmer than, say, Bangor or Halifax (also at 45 degrees, but coastal).

my goal for the new year= work 50% of Atticus' threads into an Eva tie-in. But note, only 50%- example, while the door was wide open, in deference to Eva's doctorate, I didn't work her into AG's anal probe post on Politics.

ETA: Note- we all have undergraduate degrees. I assume you all have some understanding of Physics and Physicists. Hello! Einstein, Bohr, Silverstein. I do not post Eva info as some nfh clone posting that which anyone who reads should know already.

No! My Eva posts are meant as a rhetorical tool, challenging us all to move beyond the shallow stereotypes put forth by the likes of Atticus, and asking :
Why not a hot physicist?

Why not a non-bearded semite woman?

Whose is this Atticus to force such stereotypes into my pyche?

Tablecloths
 
[rant]How can a restaurant* be considered "upscale" if it spreads white butcher paper over its white linen tablecloths?!

I'm surprised that they didn't give us matching white paper napkins.

Perhaps I should bring my crayons next time so that I may make proper use of their fine butcher paper.[/rant]



* This restaurant scores in the upper 20s on the Zagat survey for its locale. If they are going to charge about $75 per person for dinner, I would think that the cost of laundering our tablecloth would be included.

I would say it's socially acceptable to a certain degree in every society. Even in the US, lots of guys and girls cheat and tell their friends about it without suffering any negative social stigma.

I don't think it's flapping. That's her left tricep muscle during contraction. If it was fat it would look much looser than that, although it does look looser than muscle normally looks...
