well, I'm almost there!

my older cousin said something like that before and I know some friends in a relationship in which the girl is older by 6 years but both are in their twenties. honestly, you can't really tell because everyone in the early or late twenties look of about the same age

Well I think the reason being (for women only) those beauty products that women use to defy their age

 

[Azurel]

well not really. I have a fren who's 28 and still gets his ID check when he goes into a pub and gets stopped at the entrance when he wants to watch a R21 movie. and when he showed his IC, they didn't believe it was his! and tot it was a fake or someone's else. poor guy!

Nothing wrong at all about dating older women. There's an older lady at work who flirts with me everytime I see her and she comes looking for me at company parties (which bugs me out some times). She's pretty attractive...plus she laughs at my jokes (which is a big plus). Nothing'll happen, but she's a cool lady.

 

[baboysai]

nothing wrong with dating younger guys for me.

 

[bax]

Well.. most people i nthe world prefer to marry a guy older than her/a girl younger than him.

For most girls, I think it's what Az said. Maturity, stable economy and responsible are what girls look into a spouse candidate. It's natural. It's human nature that a guy is supposed to support the girl.

More like we're socialized to believe that that is the case....

Damn straight.

That's usually what I prefer.

in this modern world, I suppose some would see that women are moulded to play a certain role because of the society. but its basis is unrefutable, women are weak; it's a fact and I admit that as a woman because we are made that way. women are just made different from men and need a man's support. there's no denying that there are independent women but think about it, how independent can a pregnant woman be.

anyway, I also don't see anything wrong wif a woman supporting a man. women can also be talented and skillful in their work.

p.s are we being a lil philosophical here

 

[baboysai]

yeah let's cut the heavy crap... how bout something new?

might as well I take this opportunity to ask you girls AND GUYS. This is for my thesis:

If you were to go to a beauty parlor or spa place, what should you be expecting ambiance-wise, service-wise and etc?

We are all molded to play roles in society.

but its basis is unrefutable, women are weak; it's a fact and I admit that as a woman because we are made that way.

The only part of a women's physiology that is significantly weaker than men's is the upper torso. Also, most healthy women could easily perform the same tasks as men in pretty much any physical job that doesn't require large amounts of heavy lifting.

Even then, women would still be able to perform reasonably well.

there's no denying that there are independent women but think about it, how independent can a pregnant woman be.

Pregnant women are far from helpless until they reach the latter months of pregnancy.

Personally, I don't think either sex is ultimately stronger or weaker than the other. Society has created expectations for all of us, some of which make sense, some of which don't at all. I think the important thing is to make sure you aren't conforming to a certain ideal or expectation simply because it's what you've been told is right. We are all rational and free-thinking individuals, and we must never take that for granted

baboysai, as for your question...

I would love to find a spa/beauty parlor that was really just a very relaxing, simple, low-key kind of place (and on the cheaper side, too!). I don't like going into places where everyone's trying to get you to paint your nails pink or convince you that purple eyeshadow and crazy hair highlights compliment your eye color and astrological sign perfectly, or that you need scary chemical facial things to look beautiful. Not that those are bad things necessarily, but it really all depends on the individual. I'd be looking for a more natural and personal experience, I suppose. It's not that I don't wear makeup and stuff, but I think the emphasis should always be enhancing the beauty you have instead of trying for something that's not really you. So, a very non-intimidating, personal, relaxed and natural atmosphere would make me the most comfortable and likely to return. Hope this helps you, baboysai, and good luck with your thesis

People tend to find shades of yellow and blue to be the most relaxing and comfortable (for walls, etc..). Also, ceiling fans give the impression of being in a spacious, airy place. I've looked at restaurant design studies for work, however, I think these are true in a general sense.

 

[prag_27]

looks like I missed a lot =='....um...im back from the beach and from the haunted house where the guys who're supposed to scare us were quite cute ><"......so....recap??? O_O

 

[baboysai]

gosh thanks PY and maddog. That helped a lot. Yeah I'm going more for the "passive cooling", more tropical approach toward making my design, and the classic ceiling fans are a great idea maddog. Especially because I chose my site to be where island culture is very prevalent.

I was feeling miserable since saturday night and even failed to get drunk. so my friend, who happens to be visiting me, call the others. then went to get dinner at this nice, cozy, secluded restaurant that serves chinese food. while we were almost finish eating, i found a dead cocroach on my food. one of my friend almost went berserk, we usually eat there and the food is good. what if it wasn't the first time a roach found it's way to a dish, our dish!

 

[MadDog]

Cool. That sounds like a fun project baboysai. You've got let us know how it turns out.

Ichimaru - nothing worse than finding something unexpected in your food. I hope they didn't make you pay for the cockroach dish, at least.

I’m all beat-up right now because I spent most of the day building a dog ramp at my mom's house (my dog is getting a little to old to take the back stairs). He has no problems on the way down, but he seems to forget the ramp is there when it's time to come back in. I had to re-do the design and block off the uncovered half of the stairs, but it still takes him a minute or two to remember the ramp.

 

[rabb]

ok, i have to just give you all a bite of reality here. the cynic in me is raging. women can go on all they want about how being nice and smart, and generous, and mature and all that, but they always go out with the best looking guy, then when he turns to be a complete ass, they go out with their friends, they either get drunk, or moppy and cry-y, and go on with "how come i never find a good guy?"

*goes to off to rant at other people*

 

[PaperYomiko]

rabb...don't guys do the same thing? Always wanting to go out with the hot girl, I mean? There's an idiotic hypocrite in all of us, my friend
(not that all hot people are jerks, or anything...)

MadDog...that's too bad about your dog. I've just been informed that my dog and two cats all probably have fleas

Ichi...cockroach? Isn't that just extra protein then?

 

[prag_27]

rabb: O_O....really?.....oh well.....no one's really asked me out =='...so i'm pretty lucky eh? =P well....you can always rant here rabb O_O... I may not read all of it =='...but at least I can give a try O_O....you know! last night! I dreamt of meeting Fahrenheit and talking to them and all that! SO WEIRD AND RANDOM!!! coz meeting them wasn't really on my "need-to-do" list....was soooo weird....and Fahrenheit is a Taiwanese band O_O....the guys on it are quite hot IMO O_O
