the usa has become quite socialistic by taxing the hell out of businesses and the rich which is highway robbery and "giving" it to the poor. by giving anything away, it assures that it build a dependence on those who have (the government) and those who have not (the poor). keep the poor poorer and making the middle class turn poor is an excellent way to keep people down by helping everyone stay in low spirits because of lack of money, lack of jobs, high debt, and poor health practices because it cost a lot of money to eat healthy and pay for gym memberships, etc. that's quite excellent to get people to be dependent and hand over their power to the all mighty government.
the backstory really is the government inflict a lot of rules, regulations against businesses and people are not in business for charity. people go into business to make a profit and no one can make a profit if they're being charged up the ying yang by their own gov't so what do the businesses do? they outsource the jobs to 3rd world countries who'll do the labor for less because the "low" wages they're paid would actually support them in their countries. in a time of crisis, no gov't should be punishing those who have the money and ability to create wealth. the wealthy people are the ones who create jobs for us regular people who depend on those meager jobs to make some money to pay our bills and living expenses. i find it a crying shame that a lot of people in this country don't quite grasp the concept that wealth is created, it is not to be distributed like a slice of a pie. punishing the wealth creators is evil and socialistic. obama has managed to plunge this country into a bleak, jobless, dark, depressing, bottomless pit. he likes popularity and uses his celebrity connections and backing to get by these past 4 years but as far as him actuing doing anything about the major economic problems that the states have been plagued with, no progress can ever be reported that would possibly bring any sign of hope that we can get out of this major depression any time soon. i'm seriously afraid this will last another decade. as far as how this drastic effects me on the personal level, i'm afraid i won't be able to find steady jobs anymore and this will definitely effect my mate selection because i do want to find someone, marry, and have a family. the possibility of having a family in this bleak time is pretty much nil. |

i never said those words offended me. those words were devised to be offensive and not something to be proud of. if you're proud to be called something that's derogatory just because you think you're on the inside of that "club" then by all means but it doesn't change the meaning of those words just because you place a positive spin on it.
actually, there are characteristics that are deemed "sexy" and "attractive" with widespread agreement and it's not just in the "eyes of the beholder." beauty, sexiness, and attractiveness are all social constructs and have been determined by society so it should actually be "beauty is in the eyes of society." |

Sun Signs' Annoying Traits by me. These are general observations I've made over the years from meeting a lot of people and knowing their signs. I know most of those signs quite intimately from family and friends.
Aries- over bloated and egotistical. they have a "look at me!" syndrome and love throwing parties in their own honor. they truly believe they're awesome and try hard to convince everyone else of it, even when other people don't believe them. Taurus- stubborn towards their friends and family members. they're virtually inflexible with their mates but they will always take their mate's side over their friends/family/children. they tend to be dense and exist completely on the physical plane. Gemini- disappears and reappears on their own accord and you can't expect or depend on them when it comes to serious matters. they believe they're always right and may seem like they're listening to you but they're not. they're pretty steadfast in their own intellect. Cancer- whiny and overly emotional. very hyper-dramatic and acts desperate to have others appreciate them. very dependent. Leo- bossy, loud, and egotistical. if they're mad, they'll coldly leave you. when they're in good moods, they'll throw a lot of parties in their own honor (much like aries but not so obvious). leo does get butt hurt if you don't applaud them. Virgo- overly critical and naggy. they get upset over the most minor infractions and are very repetitive about everything. Libra- flakey and indecisive. also very easily depressed and self-defeatist. when they're depressed, they get really angry. they love eating when they're depressed and tends to gain weight. needy and people pleasers of the worst kind. Scorpio- vengeful, calculating, possessive, evil, loves playing psychological mind games. Sagittarius- careless and reckless of others. they love doing whatever they want regardless of how it effects others. they can dish it to others but become dramatic when they get what they deserve in return. Capricorn- boring, materialistic, cheap, too serious, cold, and non committal to anything that's not related to their work. Aquarius- demands the world change but they won't lift a finger to change themselves. they love having the last word with arguments and blame the world's imperfections for their problems. Pisces- druggies, unrealistic, delusional, depressed, cries, can't handle reality. when they're depressed, they get suicidal. |

well... first, sun signs aren't exactly set by those dates. it tends to change slightly every year. for the past few years, gemini has been starting late may 20 or early may 21 and ends late june 19 or early june 20 (an example).
second, sun sign is the persona of the internal ego. it's the characteristic that shows what a person likes, how they see themselves. third, astrological strengths can also serve as weaknesses, so take whatever is the sign's strength is and flip it around which would make it become weaknesses. i'm a gemini and my chart has a lot of gemini and yet, i've never been considered 2 faced. i'm also not a flake either. if i agree to do something, i will follow-thru. i'm pretty steadfast with my words being tied to action. but then again, if you want to examine a person's actions and energy, look at their MARS sign, not sun sign. have a i met flakey geminis? sure. i've also met a lot of flakey taurus people too! |

well i think that's because socially, males grew up being taught that if there's a problem, they need to physically fix it. i think when a man cares for a woman, he's willing to help her where he can, and a man tends to be good at tackling concrete problems (such as radiator problem or broken doorknob, etc.) but not apt to be great emotional rocks.
i think when men offer to help you with something, accept it and thank them for being thoughtful and helpful because men like and need to be needed and wanted (just as women). men offer to help out not because they don't think you're not capable... it's just the mere fact that they're showing you they care. men tend to show care by actions and women show care through words/emotional encouragement. men are taught to take pride and value what they can do- much like a provider. when i was 17 and got with my ex, he came around to my apartment and fixed everything in it and cleaned it too. when my bike wasn't running so well, he took it apart and reassembled it. whenever i was sad, he'd hug me but would do something for me to help cheer me up- like take me out to my favorite restaurant. men respond to actions. i knew my ex loved me tremendously because he was willing to do anything and everything for me, and i didn't even have to ask! |

Hobbies? Interests?

i like a lot of things. i really enjoy observing stuff and writing about it on my blog...even though no one reads it lol
i enjoy helping my friends fix up their resumes and cover letters. i'm not sure why i like it, but i'm into doing practical and productive stuff. i also like taking classes in stuff that are completely useless in the real world but find it enriching on every other level. but regular hobbies for me is swimming and long distance cycling (in cooler weather!) |

why would it matter?anyone that thinks it does is living too far in the past skin color is equivalent to race and race does matter. people love saying it doesn't matter because that's the politically correct thing to say but we all know that people harbor prejudices not because it's "living in the past" but because we're humans and we make judgements and form our own opinions. not admitting something as important as race when picking out a mate only leads to more bottled up anger and frustrations. a fine example of this is being on any dating site and seeing people say "i don't care about race." but then a few weeks later their profile say "only white men need apply!" or "if you're not caucasian, i'm not going to find you attractive" or something to that effect. why would they have such drastic shifts? because they didn't admit to themselves the importance of race when making their decisions based upon finding a mate. if you don't care and think everyone is attractive regardless of race/color etc. by all means. but do you really believe in what you're taught to repeat by progressive education? more importantly, do you practice what you say? |

How Old Is too Old

thanks! . I like my morals to be heard. I have certain standards in regards to what I will tolerate with a man.
lol thanks anyways! i grew up saying thank you to everyone and everything! we're actually pretty close in age. you know... there's a strange big deal about turning 30 as if the world just explode. i'm not saying about you, but my friends and just social pressures of turning 30. all my friends are older than me and in their 30s with the exception of 3 (25 divorced female, 23 female photojournalist, and 18 gay male hairdresser) and oddly enough, the ones that make a big deal of 30 and being 30s are the ones who are actually in their 30s lol. i have a 32 yr old friend who's "panicking" because she doesn't have anyone and her "biological clock" is ticking and she really wants to have kids. her problem is she cannot settle on a guy. she oscillates so much and swings from one end to the next so quickly that it would make her finding someone who's looking to settle down even more difficult. meanwhile on my end, i do want someone to build a foundation with, to have a family sometime in the future as the goal, so i'm pretty focused to attracting someone around my age who's at that point in their lives. lol my rambling actually does have a point. when people focus their energies on what they want, it will attract what they want to come to them in some way. because my friend is indecisive, she does not attract men who are looking to marry and have children. they can't even take her seriously. she's been recycling ex boyfriends for a couple of years now. that being said, if a person doesn't care who or what comes their way then they're just going to get "whatever." the reason why 18-22 yr olds attract each other because they're focused on the same goal: partying! and it goes the same as to why most people in their 40s and 50s want someone close to their age: they're done with childrearing and want an adult relationship! |

i think when a person is younger, 8 years seems to be a big difference. when people are older in their 40s and beyond, 8 years would probably be considered lesser of an age gap. the difference from 40 to 48 is minimal compared to 18 and 26. from 40 to 48, people usually have kids or even grown up children who moved out, been homeowners, had several career changes, dealt with financial hardships, etc. as for the 8 yr gap of 18 to 26 it's more of an oppositional comparison. high school/just starting college vs. college/graduated college, cannot legally drink/purchase alcohol vs. can legally drink/purchase alcohol, partying and meeting as many people as possible vs. thinking about finding the "one" to settle down with and have a family, etc. i don't agree that age is "just a number." as a matter of fact, i'm really sick and tired of hearing and reading people's cliched reasoning that age is "just a number." aside from the numerical status, age is indicative of how long a person has been on earth and how much cultural and societal changes they've witnessed but it totally goes against evolutionary laws. being part of different generations creates different mentalities towards life. roaming the earth longer means there's more damaged that have been sustained so unless someone has lived in a bubble or just got defrosted from a cryogenic dome, i find it to be delusional, absolutely ridiculous, and psychologically and physically wrong when some dude my dad's age thinks he has that much in common and "connects" with a chick that's my age or much younger. my father is in his mid 50s and he thinks my female friends are complete airheads. all my friends are at least in their 30s. that should give you some indicator of generation gap that gets caused by age gaps. when i hear or see older people write in their profile that they can outlast us youngsters, i'm going to have to laugh at that. i find that ridiculous. my parents are in their 50s and even they laugh at people their age for being that much in denial about their age. just because you're active when you're older, it doesn't make you strong as someone in their 20s. just because you think you look younger, it doesn't actually mean that you are younger. how you see yourself is going to be different than how people see you, esp. how younger people actually view older people. ashton kutcher married a couger and then left her for someone his age. another fake playboy bunny backed out on marrying hugh heftner because she realized she needs to be with a guy her age. trying to find the exception to the rule and saying people are happy in marriages with huge age gaps won't ever make it the rule. being with someone with a huge age gap is completely against evolutionary reasoning. i'm probably the only person who's going against the grain and saying that it's complete bs and anyone that goes for someone who's that far apart in age has underlining issues that they either refuse to address or is unaware of having. Great post and you are spot on with everything you have stated. I was thinking the same thing actually about us being older and active. I am active for my age and I can hold my own with some of my 30 year old friends however I am sure if I partied with a bunch of 30 year olds on a regular basis: it would kill me. I also know when I fall it hurts much more and takes longer to heal than when I was 30 as our bodies are getting weaker with age. We are also in a completely different mindset as Singmesweet has mentioned. You may be younger but you are very wise for your age. 
thanks!! although, i don't think i'm wise so much as observant. i asked my dad if people actually get wiser when they get older. he said, "nope. trust me, they just get older."
i wasn't insulting anyone because of their age. it's just a reality that is quite glaring and very sad. when i visit my parents for the holidays, i do physical activities with them and they're both in their 50s, super great shape, both thin and health conscious people. my dad runs on the treadmill every night for 30 mins and has been doing that for decades. these days he's slowed down a bit but he use to run 1 hour a day up until 3 years ago when he suffered a stroke. my dad was an athlete all his life and it breaks my heart to see him complaining about his health issues because reminds him of his mortality and reminds me that i might face the reality of losing a parent. my mom too. she does zumba and aerobics at a gym 2x a week hanging out with 20 yr old college girls who told me that i have such a "totally cool mom." on top of that, she's a vegan. well my mom had some liver issues (hereditary) pop up 4 yrs ago as she's not ever been a drinker/smoker/unhealthy eater. last year when i was visiting for the holidays, I indulged her and went to the gym with her and after that i said, "i'll race you to the car, whoever gets there last buys lunch!" and she was running pretty quick (i was still running faster) but then tripped and hurt herself badly. i mean she bruised herself! oh man, i felt so horrible about that because i never thought i'd live to see the day where it's evident that my parents are aging. both of them remind me that they're limited because they're "old" when i ask them to do high adrenaline stuff. they're not in their 30s anymore and i'm not a little kid anymore. there's always some sort of scary sad feeling that creeps inside me because reality is inescapable. |
