Take me! I'm yours!
Well, I would be the "hairless" variety of Neanderthal...
...plus, with a bit more brains...
...is that alright?

Jas, you must know I love 'ya by now, what with my complements on those big, luminous eyes 'an all...
What if there's just a bit of hair on a big, v-shaped, muscular back?

I think it makes me look more like that bada**, Wolverine! But if I get it shaved, I must caution my stylist I have no "mutant healing factor"...so watch it with the razor!

Okay, you've got me there...
...er, are we talking like a "handlebar" kind of growth , or "with-a-few-plucks-of-the-tweezers-and-it's-gone" kind of growth?
I've read that, among various bodily changes a woman goes through when she has children, additional facial hair may result...
is that true?

...declaring women to be the more perfect gender, what is your impression of this man (male)?

...back hair on your man? (tee hee [tired of typing, "lol"]; made you look!)
Me? I've got a little growth back there...nothing a quick shave wouldn't take care of.
You see, Mother Nature plays a cruel joke on us guys. She takes hair off our heads, and grows it on our backs!
No, I still have quite a bit of hair on my head, and no, I'm not exactly a "Sasquatch", either.
So, spill. Mind a little back hair?

Kayla...viewed your profile for clues on why this seems to happen to you with such regularity.
Some might suggest that it isn't due to the kind of guys you choose to become intimate with.
It's your generation.
IMHO, many of us here on mingle2 who are a bit older than you (I'm 49...)are continually dismayed by the apparent widespread degradation of morals and character which seems to escalate with every new generation. There are shining contradictions to this in many individuals who make the news.
Incidently, have you read the news lately? How many sports figures are in trouble with the law? How many celebrities are celebrities simply because of their looks, ABILITY to be determined later (Megan Fox...can she actually ACT? We'll see...), and how many of them behave badly in public? And how many who CONSUME the "products" of these various celebs PUNISH said behavior by BOYCOTTING THEM?
What do they do instead?
THEY BUY MORE OF THEIR CDS, TICKETS TO THE EVENTS THEY APPEAR IN, ETC. This is a telling factor.
However, in contrast to other nations who actually REVERE those who are older and quite possibly a bit more wise, THE OPPOSITE is true in this country. We worship youth and beauty, and to be old is to be ignored.
...and you're being constantly cheated on...
Funny old world, ain't it?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Get involved in community service...services for the elderly, the disabled, the homeless...and seek your new man in these environments.
It's a start.

Poor, neglected woman, she is...

That's Photoshop.

Giving someone you just met a "chance" to prove themselves is no different from tossing care to the wind and latching onto them. So why not go the safer route, the one that requires some discipline of ones' feelings?
IMHO, the best way to give TIME a chance to evaluate a persons' character and their motives is to keep communication lines open with others.
Also, never let a new significant other dominate your time and attention to the point where you neglect your friends. From their vantage point, they may notice things about your new s/o that you don't, or WON'T.

Exactly! You're very wise.
We tend to ignore these signs because we've neglected the health of our LIVES. We have discontinued dating, because that "perfect one" hasn't yet come along. So, when someone does come along who INITIALLY "rings our bell", we just sometimes latch on.
Very unwise, and sometimes downright dangerous.
Kudos to you.

If everybody followed this wisdom, there would be no need for mingle2!

YAY! GOOD FOR YOU, MAN! These days, men are expected to just bend over, while their wife/gf positions herself behind them with a strap-on... (and I suppose you realize we've already been pegged as chauvinists, wife-beaters, etc., for even discussing this)
...and then it's all swept under the rug. (DOUBLE POST!)
The strange thing is, this same KIND of woman has a "drive" (NPI-"no pun intended") to dominate her man in just such a fashion, then will wonder where all the good men are!
By her behavior, she will leave her man with only two choices:
either take it up the ole pooper, or leave.
Truly, "you have to shake the whole tree to find one good apple" all too often. This is often why men who date a lot before marrying (if they ever DO get married, a 'la George Clooney)are seen as shallow. This is way off base.
I've learned to view a new relationship like walking a car lot. Sorry, but it's just a great analogy.
Always be ready to walk away. Allow time for the "glass mask" to fall to the floor and shatter. If there is indeed a "screw loose" somewhere in her head, or she has a hidden agenda, she'll betray this by trying to rush you into things, as my aforementioned "friend" did by insisting I move in with her. She DID NOT want to allow time for her "glass mask" to fall and shatter. Too bad.
But when she turns out to be SANE, honest, and understanding, love her like each day is your last together.

No, requiring that a new significant other have flaws is to have the luxury of controlling them with these flaws later.
Say for instance an airbrushed, supermodel type gets involved with a guy who may be substantially older, overweight, balding, or any combination of the above, for the purpose of using him as a tool. By berating him later for any or all of these flaws incessantly, it is possible to beat the guys' self-esteem to a pulp so low that he is a virtual emotional slave to her.
This could be perpetrated upon anyone, in an kind of relationship...a woman controlling a man, a man controlling a woman, gay, straight, lesbian, dogs and cats, whatever.
...and it's diabolical. Stranger still, the perpetrator of this can do this subconsciously, possessing a deep-seated need to control, the consummate "control freak".
I was subject to the conniving manipulations of just such a person not long ago. She wanted me to move in with her, be her rent-paying roommate, lover/boyfriend, etc. However, she was in her jacuzzi one night beneath her bedroom window mouthing off about me, and I heard her say some incriminating things.
She was also a nurse, having been trained in the gentle art of manipulating patients for their own good. However, this knowledge can be wielded for selfish purposes, and was, in our case.
Much to her chagrin, I escaped.
The beotch...

Does this mean I win a prize???
Yes? Whatever could it be?
A new car?
Cash?
Golf clubs?
Or does no one give a sh**?

You must have been watching "Dr. Oz"...a health show which deals with such weighty matters (couldn't resist the pun!)
My guess is that if a person isn't drinking enough water, constipation will set in, making the poop more compact, heavy, and stubborn in coming out. Therefore, it will sink. Otherwise, if a person is properly hydrated, the poop will float, because it hasn't been so compacted.
Vegetables and fruits will probably float if not chewed well. Meat will probably sink. There will be little or no bouancy in any food if not completely masticated.
Poop is no laughing matter. It is a very convenient little package which displays exactly the state of our health, mind, and diet.
The smell is a strong indicator, as well (Ew...another pun!).
Remember the scene in "The Last Emperor", where the young emperors' poop was examined and smelled of by those whom I assumed were his personal physicians?
The Chinese have always demonstrated their innovative approaches to such concerns as health...a very intelligent people.

Spice Girls and Cheetah Girls, too?

Texas is likely similar to Vegas and L.A. A surplus of outrageously gorgeous cougars there. They had moved to any one or more of these places early in life, got a job as a waitress while auditioning in the entertainment field, yet it just didn't happen.
They settled for marrying an oil tycoon, producer, etc., and later divorced them. Now they live in a nice home, receive a generous alimony check and child support each month, and spend their free time (which is substantial, since the judge forced her rich hubby to provide her with "the lifestyle to which she'd grown accustomed=housekeeping staff, etc.), watching Oprah, cooking shows, and prowling the bars at night, looking for fresh, young meat.
Wadda life!
