Rosalva Steinmann: Well, sort of. I'm not sure about the 'most important' part, although it could be true.I DO subscribe to the 'you cannot have a successful, functional relation ship with the opposite sex until you resolve your mother/father relationship' though.Once I absolved my mother of all her mistakes (they were few and for the most part, unavoidable) in my heart, I was able to appreciate the opposite sex much better....Show more
Sylvie Snetting: Keep your mind completely clear of everything else. Jot down the things that distract you. Eliminate them or tackle them in some way. Then you can focus.
Floy Fague: Don't listen to casey, she knows that isn't true for most men.The reason why women don't hold intellectual conversations with men is because women never have anything interesting to talk about. Women don't care about politics or.. the economic crisis, or anything of any relevance. What's usually on their mind is some cute guy they saw at the mall ! or, where they should get their nails done tomorrow (usually at their boyfriend/husband's expense) Even the smartest of women I knew in high school who would get higher marks than I did in all subjects were still baffled by my choice of words as they had not ever heard of anyone their age using an extended vocabulary. It's saddening, really....Show more
Alisia Sutphen: It's because men are too busy looking at your t*ts
Kassie Kay: Intellect is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps the women you do encounter simply are not interested. What we do to interest a person in us is not always what we do to keep a person interested in us. For people of the genre of intellect you seek, it might be wise to frequent such surroundings where like-minded people are inclined to frequent (audit a class, research projects, volunteer organizations of interest, specific interest clubs, science fairs, history expeditions, philosophy seminars, etc.) Good luck!...Show more
Gre! gg Hagge: A: Sure, Harbinger. Feminists hate children so much! that some of them actually have kids. B: I agree with the original poster. However, I think it's more important for a child to have GOOD parents, as opposed to having two mediocre ones. I was raised by two parents. My father was a really good dad, my mom is a bully. It just didn't work. I'd rather a kid have a good single parent than two lame ones or two really bad ones....Show more
Letitia Bigelow: I hate that too! I am a woman who truly loves to talk in depth on the topics you talk about. All my girlfriends prefer to gossip or talk about celebrities. It is really annoying.... Therefore I often like to hang around men who enjoy in depth conversations.
Carter Dewater: I agree with you. As a mother of a 6yo girl, I can tell you from personal experience that children learn from what they see in front of them. And healthy relationship between parents is your child's model for her / his future relationships with an opposite sex. That is why consistency in our! behavior around the kids is so important; they listen to what we have to say, but what affects them the most is what they observe you do. Parents are examples for their own child's future behavior....Show more
Mauro Cowee: Our parents provide a foundation for who we become as people and provide a basis for our adult relationships. So, of course it is important for children to have good relationships with their parent - same sexed parent as well as opposite sexed. I will add that it is up to the parent to ensure that these positive relationships occur. Putting your child's needs above your own is a requirement of good parenting.
Brittney Inabnit: Look them in the eye and fart loudly. This tactic has proved very effective for me, and I would (just guessing) give it about a 92 percent rating. Sometimes it is hard to control, so you may want to practice at home on your family and friends before you attempt it in public, because it doesn't all ways work right. I r! emember once, when the judge said "3 years with good behavior" I tried ! it, and I soiled my pants. It can be a pretty ineffective strategy if not done right, but its worth considering.. Or not....Show more
Edmund Rappley: You must be going for very mainstream, stereotypical sorts of women. There are intellectual women out there. You just need to find them.I'm 21. I'm finishing my masters. My degree last year received First Class Hons and I was nominated grad of the year. I am an autodidact. My metier is in English Literature, Philosophy or Art but I read absolutely anything and everything. I love learning about quantum science, philosophy, history, world geography, anthropological world cultures etc etc. etc. I am an hourglass, hot chick but I am a shy chick too. Also, I am not an orange tangerine. Don't go for the women that look like the Tango man please. I know it is the trend but really deeper the tan, the dumber the person. I could make a graph. Also, I do not like discussing politics very much though I do have interest in other int! ellectual topics like semiotics or deconstructionism; mostly I think because world politics are so depressing and artificial and one can do nothing about the people in power. It makes me a little sick really to turn on the news. I figure I am just one little dot on the planet so I devote my energies to something else. It is more interesting to me to learn about something novel and heterodox about civilisation and the world such as Henry Ford set up his own city in the middle of the Amazon in the early twentieth century called Fordlandia..That is not something one might hear every day....Show more
Lia Argall: I do think both relationships are very important as it can have a great impact on future relationships as well as their roles in society,.=
Lester Haschke: Men tend to break eye contact after a while and stare at a woman's boobs.
Shaun Rapkowicz: Do you believe that 1 of the most important relationships a girl can have with a man is with her father?Do ! you believe the best relationship a boy can have with a women is with h! is mother?I think it is very important to have a good relationship with your parents as a child. You?...Show more
Frank Gazaway: Yes!! I know this to be true! Girls who grow up without a father - because he's abandoned them or because her parents divorced and mom didn't let dad get custody - are way more likely to act out sexually and/or experiment with drugs and booze. Girls who have involved, loving fathers are way less likely to self-destruct like that. You take care of your girl and she will probably turn out way better and more well-adjusted than most of her peers. I have a daughter too, and a son. : ) I think that a boy's relationship with his mom is one of the most important ones of his life. it lays the groundwork for his adult life in many ways. I agree - parent-child relationships are hugely important. They prepare kids for life in so many ways and have a very big effect on how our kids turn out....Show more
Helen Zafar: I am quite interested in disc! ussing current affairs, but not terribly keen on discussing science, about which I know very little. I am quite prepared to discuss philosophical questions if they come up. No.2 son is always asking me stuff like "why do people die?' 'What happens at the end of infinity?' etc. History is something I enjoy talking about.I am doubtful myself whether women in the past were actually less knowledgeable than present day women. Women in the past read more, and were often very knowledgeable indeed. Many 19th century women kept up intelligent correspondence with intellectual men for example.I expect you could find women to engage in intellectual talk if you really wanted to. It is possible that the ssort of women you are interested in talking to simply don't share your interests. Perhaps they have other qualities that interest you....Show more
Arnulfo Seegars: This enables shallow male behavior, andperpetuates the body image issues and age insecurity aka "biological cl! ock" that preoccupy and devalue women?
Tory Clapper: Hey everyone! ! Ok just to start off, if you see this question and think 'oh well this seems like a complete waste of my time'... please just spare a few minutes to help? I've had a crush on this guy for so long and I can't focus on anything.. I get average to bad grades, im SO lazy and I feel like im never going to get a boyfriend and fail in lifei have gcses next yeari want to go abroad for studies but i need straight A's how do i encourage myself?...Show more
Michal Semple: I used to enjoy those sorts of discussions; the argumentation the debate, for years after University.Eventually I understood that it is a device for some to push their point of view and dominate others. If its real argumentation to discover things, work things out and understand, then its satisfactory. If its simply sitting around discussing things you can do nothing whatsoever about, it seems pointless and a total waste of time for me now, unless its productive and both of us learn something. It seems that m! any people who endlessly discuss matters spend most of their time doing just that, but very little time doing anything about it....Show more
Kaylee Schmittou: Absolutely, many girls grow up and try to find a man like their father. As far as women go, I probably talk with my mother more than any other person outside of my wife and kids. Even when I was living far away from her, we talked regularly and I value her opinion more than any other. I try to teach my daughter to be an independent young woman who will never have to rely on a man to take care of her. I also tell her regularly that boys are the nastiest creatures on the face of the earth. She's 12 now and looks a little older, I never knew it was possible to hate anything as much as I hate teenage boys....Show more
Dorinda Metzer: I could talk about a lot of things, I just find it's more interesting to listen to conversations regarding things I have no personal knowledge, or interest in.
Chanda ! Wittwer: Perhaps you are hanging out with the wrong type of women? Try ! meeting women at a library. Personally I find brainy girls in glasses quite attractive.Some guys go for glamorous type women who spend all their time on their appearance, and then complain that they are shallow. Sort of like women who date only macho bad boys and then complain that they act like jerks....Show more
Maritza Ebanks: Yes and Yes. Children learn gender roles from their parents and also find mates based on their parents actions/relationship from each other. I think it is very important for a child to have a good relationship with their parents. I have a great relationship with my son and he can talk to me about anything. Granted, he's only 6, but there are times he comes to me versus my husband and vise versa. We have very open and honest communication and hope that our marriage and actions can show him the proper respect and care that he should give his wife. I am proof that a father's attention or lack there of affects the daughter. My father was an alcoh! olic and a truck driver. He was NEVER home. It might just be coincidence, but I married a military man and he is rarely home. My husband and I have very good communication, but I can tell that when he is home "too long", I get very anxious and almost feel like I need a break. My parents always "seemed" happy, but there was not much communication. I hope to change that and be a better example within my own family and for my children....Show more
Kenneth Thuesen: This is just another question designed to get men to call women stupid and uneducated. The truth is most of you couldn't care less about intellectually stimulating conversations in relationships with women, so why are you complaining. This is just a veiled attempt to act superior. When you start appreciating a woman for something besides looks, you get to make statements like this. Until then, you can shut up, because your complaint is meaningless.
Azalee Ahrendes: Don't know what women you're talking! about. I know many women who love a good and deep discussion.
Br! enton Cornwall: Winner gets 10 points btw! Hahaha :)Thanks V Bomb, really straightforward answer! x
Valentine Willinger: Yes for all 3 questions.But I do believe that that is only 1 way a child can grow up.Personally I do wish I had a better relationship with my father. He did raise me but I've always wanted to have the relationship I knew we can have together. It was not a glamorous relationship at all. I did do a lot of bad things to myself because I was depressed(use to be) but I am not going to blame everything on my dad. I use to cut myself(For about 3 years) but not anymore. I value myself more but I never was like I am now. So I do think a good relationship with a parent can really effect you in the future. Only a handful of people actually escape from misery from their childhood and make their life great. I haven't fully escaped from my sorrow but I'm getting there. ...Show more
Lucille Saetteurn: Because hair and nails are so much more important. Duh! ! ;-)Well, this is precisely why I don't have women friends. It's not because I hate them, as some women on GS have suggested, but because I find them to be such bromides. My two best friends are 60 and 50 year old men. The 50 yr old is a prof of English and Law, the 60 yr old - prof of English, Philo, Taichi and Yoga (also Math, but not taught it in a while). Aside from that (any idiot can have a diploma, I am fully aware), they are funny, down to earth and cool as all hell. We usually meet at a local coffee shop to discuss current events - including "science, state of the world, philosophy etc." You're welcomed to join us if you'd like. Sounds like you're hanging around some boring people. ;-(...Show more
Mohamed Szollosi: You can focus on studies by removing distractions. Try to take active interest in your studies and build your concentration skills!!
Rona Ising: I agree; there shouldn't be any distinguishers, that way 18 year old jocks will date 73 y! ear old spinsters like nature intended.
Lou Rought: A have a daug! hter. I would never leave her like some parents be leaving their child because they don't want resonsibility or don't want the kid.I have my daughters name tatoo on my arm.
Solomon Belback: Women in general only care to hold conversations that affect them and their love ones directly. They don't care about things that don't affect them directly. You even see it on here. Talk about women being oppressed in Africa, Middle east, and the far east. See how many westernized feminists answer with any "in depth" answers.
Shad Bushweller: Some do, actually. You're just too intellectually gifted for the average woman to understand, so you'll need to find better places to look for deep women. Here's a hint on somewhere to start: in college I had a philosophy professor and a physics TA who were open to meaningful discussions, as well as a great many other things...
Giovanni Malool: Having two solid parents is obviously great.However due to a choice by one parent lea! ving or by circumstance (a parent dying or such) many children end up the product of a single parent home.Unfortunately it is not as simple as to say that single parenthood is the root of all evil.There are other factors including poverty and such.I've seen plenty of cases whereby one parent is "anti-relationship" (for want of a better word). Maybe they bad mouth the other parent or they beat them up or a bully or something similar or worse...I've seen plenty of cases where one parent is better than two; or has had to be and the kids turn out perfectly fine....Show more
Estrella Northway: Why do you want these, if you love a guy? Just marry him and get settled.
Lady Laflin: I don't have any problems finding intelligent women to have "deep", intellectual conversations with, and never had, but then again, I"m not shallow and stupid, like you're implying the majority of women are.
