And in the case of "which is better", opinions are about as useful as ice cubes on the surface of the sun. In other words, opinions are tools of whining, angsty argument. To you, people who don't share your opinion are wrong and stupid. Meanwhile, having that...

I&#039;ve never heard that folks in the U.K. say Happy Christmas myself though. However, in America, it has apparently become Politically Incorrect to say &quot;Merry Christmas&quot; to other people. IF you do...

I can&#039;t stand seeing an answer, or even a question phrased like &quot;So d0 U l1ke 2 sl33p?!&quot;. It makes me long for the time when Answerbag had first started out, and wasn&#039;t a dumping ground for every ridiculous...

First time I was going to have sex with an ex and was &quot;going downtown&quot;, her hygiene proved to be the ultimate turnoff. The odor nearly knocked me unconscious, and the complete lack of grooming (and I mean that in her 24 years of life she never once shaved) only...

Tacky or acceptable?<br /><br />Tacky. In all honesty I don&#039;t like the direction that Answerbag has taken...too many ridiculous questions and nonsense answers. Stuff like that reminds me of the typical childish message board antics I used to put up with when I frequented fan pages for assorted interests.

And why?<br /><br />Sadly, I masturbate more often have sex. We&#039;re only in our 20&#039;s but my wife has the sex drive of a corpse. I hate to say it, but if I knew our sex life would be so awful before we got married I may have changed my mind.

Well, my wife (asian) and I went here: http://www.eastbuffet.us/ The cook refused to serve us, shaking his head and laughing when we tried to order at the standing kitchen. He blatantly ignored us and helped other customers. He then started making comments in Chinese to the other help...

This summer she tried to break us apart, but after many apologies my girlfriend forgave her. I still get upset, however, when they hang out. What should I do?<br /><br />When it comes to something like this, you are in a no-win situation. Your girlfriend obviously cares enough about you to not allow her friend to break you guys apart. On the other hand, your ex-girlfriend is her best friend, which can lead to problems. Obviously there is resentment there, and...

This website, though you have to pay, is extremely helpful. If all you know is the person&#039;s name, as well as where they used...

And does it have any nutritional value ?<br /><br />Depends on the person&#039;s diet. Generally it has a sour taste, or bland taste at best. Drinking alot of sweet fruit juice can promote both a healthier and sweeter tasting secretion. Apparently the Kama Sutra says there are many nutritional benefits to it. Modern science, as far as I know,...

We&#039;ve all gone through it at one point, whether we want to admit that or not. But what you are experiencing seems like a pretty textbook case of stage fright. Since you say you&#039;re 16,...

Some people are not too badly affected by it, usually only...

Well, probably not all too common, but it is beleived by some that Asians appear to be &#039;cross-eyed&#039;. People of Asian or Eurasian origin are no more susceptible to being cross-eyed than south americans, europeans, north americans, canadians, various...

It can even work like a free dating site if you&#039;re single, which is a plus for those looking for companionship as well....

I&#039;m a man, so let me give you my perspective. To a certain degree, yes. There will be some sort of desire. Humans are sexual animals.... Tue, 13 Sep 2005 12:09:54 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/29656 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/27265 Is it possible to masturbate before puberty? If so, what do they ejaculate instead of semen?<br /><br />Before puberty is fully reached, adolescents who masturbate to &#039;orgasm&#039; tend to ejaculate a clear substance, which is more or less the pre-lubrication fluid that precedes normal ejaculation. Most male children develop the ability to do this early in their lives, and the lubrication...

Many times, if a movie is being filmed in a certain area, such as a town or city, and not a studio, they will ask for local residents and volunteers to come try out for extras casting. Its actually very... Mon, 16 May 2005 18:28:40 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/21366 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/21363 I met a guy who swept me off my feet immediately, then two months later he's distant and hard to reach, even though he just gave me the key to his place. What's going on here?<br /><br />Any number of things could be happening. It sounds like maybe he&#039;s reached the &#039;comfortable&#039; point, though it may seem he&#039;s reached it rather quickly and suddenly. Maybe he feels that now, since you have the key to his apartment, he doesn&#039;t need to try hard to swoon you... Mon, 16 May 2005 17:48:01 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/21363 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/20193 My best friend has stopped calling, and when I try to contact him he says he'll call back but never does. What does this mean?<br /><br />Yeah, I&#039;ve been here. Allow me to share more personal experience: One of my good friends of about 10 years, one of my first friends when I moved to a new area, became very hard to keep in contact with. About 4 years after we became friends, he moved away to another town...literally 20... Mon, 25 Apr 2005 22:47:52 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/20193 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/18865 Is it true that steroids can significantly enlarge the size of the clitoris? If so, will this heighten my sexual pleasure?<br /><br />Yes, steroids can enlarge the clitoris...they also put hair on your chest and (potentially) cause growth of facial hair, hormone imbalance, hair growth on the body, rapid and large decrease in breast size, weight gain, and other negative effects. One of the most common reasons for steroid... Fri, 08 Apr 2005 13:59:34 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/18865 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/17932 I masturbate once a day. Lately my penis and testicles have become itchy and irritated. Could it be the lotion I'm using (causing an irritation) or does this happen occasionally?<br /><br />It happens. Any part of the body can just get itchy and irritated and you&#039;ll end up scratching. However, since you use a lotion to masturbate there is a very good chance that the lotion is the culprit. If you do not fully clean up every trace ounce of fluid, it will stay on your skin and...

There are many theories and proposed suggestions as to why they would do such a thing, but nothing thus far has been proven. One major theory that has surfaced in recent years is submarine sonar equipment. Supposedly, whales and...

Let me just supplement it by adding personal observation: Teenagers are typically the most irresponsible and egocentric people around, no matter how well you raise them. That said, there are certain things you should know when it... Sun, 13 Feb 2005 20:22:14 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/15186 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/15181 Why does the administrator allow children under 18 to post questions in a category where they clearly must click on "over 18" to enter?<br /><br />Because the administrator isn&#039;t standing over the child&#039;s shoulder, slapping him/her on the wrist and telling them &#039;no&#039; when they click on it. The admin has no control over whether people will lie about being over or under 18. The institution of an Age Verification System... Sun, 13 Feb 2005 19:28:07 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/15181 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/13337 Is having a similar background or culture important for an interracial relationship to work?<br /><br />Not necessarily. In most cases, having different cultures and background is the primary appeal of getting involved in an interracial relationship in the first place. But if you have common backgrounds then you will have more in common and be able to relate to one another. In either case, both... Thu, 13 Jan 2005 22:18:05 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/13337 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/13188 Do men have feelings?<br /><br />Oh boy, talk about opening a can of worms..... First off, this question is rather strange...it definitely sounds like its coming from someone who has been burned one too many times in the past by boyfriends, though I could be wrong. However, the question itself is either just ignorantly... Tue, 11 Jan 2005 12:17:13 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/13188 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12921 I like this girl and I've been waiting for her to break up with her boyfriend before I make my move. I really like her, but I don't want to wait forever. What should I do?<br /><br />As already pointed out in another answer, just move on. You may be carrying a torch for this girl, and she might be wonderful, but there&#039;s always a catch. I too have been in this situation. I waited, and as I waited I passed up very good opportunities. Maybe it was for the best, because... Thu, 06 Jan 2005 00:01:38 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12921 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12457 Is it true that dolphins and some species of whales have a natural 'protector' instinct that leads them to aid other animals in danger, including humans?<br /><br />Yes, there have been numerous reports over the years suggesting that dolphins and some types of whales have a naturally protective instinct that causes them to aid other animals in need. There have been some instances of people who were lost at sea being guided safely to shore by whales (think... Tue, 28 Dec 2004 14:30:45 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12457 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11431 My girlfriend of 2 years says she loves me, but she doesn't want to say it because she doesn't want things to get too serious. Does she love me or not?<br /><br />If she really loves you, she will say it. If she refuses to say it...I would seriously consider re-evaluating the relationship. After 2 years, she &#039;doesn&#039;t want it to get too serious&#039;? What in all of creation is she waiting for, a decade? This is definitely a strange... Tue, 30 Nov 2004 23:05:25 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11431 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11429 I sometimes get tiny white chunks in the back of my mouth from my throat that have a vulgar taste and odor. I have heard that other people sometimes experience this. What are these things exactly?<br /><br />According to my doctor: These chunks you get are a result of oil build-up on the tonsils. The tonsils are glands which secrete oils, and over time the oils build up and crust over on the back of the tonsils. These nasty little chunks will usually break off and wind up going down your throat...

Most important: BRUSH REGULARLY! Brush in the morning, after every meal, and before you go to sleep. Use a flouride rinse in the morning and at night...I personally use Listerine in the morning,...

Bush's daughters were involved in lesbian activities?<br /><br />For a real answer to your question: There have been wild rumors floating around from their college days that they have indeed been partcipating in rather seedy acts...these are all just rumors and probably completely false. Although they got in trouble numerous times with alcohol, and have... Mon, 22 Nov 2004 09:06:34 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11078 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10954 My boyfriend gave his cell number to a girl he met while he was out of town. Over the last 3 weeks, he called her 26 times, often after 1 am. Is this cheating?<br /><br />The act of calling her is NOT cheating, but it is most likely leading up to cheating. You are right to be suspicious, though I&#039;m not sure why you felt the need to look at his phone bill, unless you were already suspicious of him or if you share a joint cell phone account. You should look... Sat, 20 Nov 2004 13:20:14 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10954 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10797 What are the pros and cons of being in an interracial relationship?<br /><br />Interracial relationships can be a touchy subject. There are far many more pros than there are cons, but there are problems that come up. I am currently in an interracial relationship, and it is the best relationship I&#039;ve had yet. Lets look at some of the pros: Culture: If you are...

If she fondles her outer lips frequently, they too will become loose. This is scientific fact. response to StoneRock: I fail to see how that impact the... Mon, 15 Nov 2004 20:34:14 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10725 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10324 My girlfriend just broke up with me. She says she still loves me but just needs time to herself, so I hardly get to see her any more. Should I try to stay with her or let her go?<br /><br />I would say it is best to simply move on. This is the same excuse as &#039;I need my space&#039; or &#039;I&#039;m being smothered&#039;. If you&#039;re hardly seeing her anymore then she probably just wants out of the relationship completely. This excuse is usually a cop-out for lack of a...

Did I ever? Or is this recent?<br /><br />From the way this question is phrased, it is completely impossible for anyone on answerbag to answer this for you. You need to ask him yourself. All I can think of is that it is possible he said it to get out of the relationship, or is looking for an excuse to get more or better sex out of...

Many people have died of broken hearts. The grief and emotional distress of a break-up has caused MANY people to commit suicide. Break-ups are among one of the leading causes of suicides in the country. in a more somewhat unrelated aspect of dying of a broken heart, the...

However, I have noticed that carbonated beverages like soda or seltzer, and even ginger ale, can quickly subdue hiccups if you gulp them down quickly. For me, when I have hiccups, I notice... Sat, 30 Oct 2004 13:57:03 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10110 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10055 My girlfriend cheated extensively on me in the past and is now talking to a guy "friend" via email whom she hasn't told me about. Should I trust her?<br /><br />Please don&#039;t take offense to this, but this is one of the worst questions I&#039;ve ever seen on Answerbag. She has cheated on you extensively, yet you are still with her, and asking if you should trust her? &quot;Anonymous&quot; put it nicely and bluntly: NO! If you have even the...

I&#039;ve read the first few issues and I must say they&#039;re great, but as of... Tue, 26 Oct 2004 10:33:22 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10006 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9876 I have been dating my boyfriend for a month now. We spend time on weekends, and sometimes we talk daily; sometimes every other day. Is this frequency normal?<br /><br />Yes! When you&#039;ve made it into a serious relationship you tend to spend alot of time together. From what you describe this sounds perfectly normal in every way. Its too bad that you don&#039;t actually see each other more than just on the weekends! But in all honesty, your description is... Thu, 21 Oct 2004 16:43:27 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9876 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9583 A girl I'm dating is confused by her ex-boyfriend wanting to get back together, and now she says she doesn't want to be with anyone. Is there any way I can convince her to stay with me?<br /><br />Obviously she still has feelings for her exboyfriend. Judging from the fact that you say she is &#039;confused&#039; that he wants to get back together, chances are that she was very into her ex boyfriend and was probably on the receiving end of the break up. The fact that she...

Specifically, if you are taking a multi-vitamin, it should always be taken on a full stomach. Vitamins that are taken without food in the stomach generally produce feelings of severe nausea, pain, and in some cases... Mon, 11 Oct 2004 14:58:09 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9582 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9356 I have heard that some Internet dating sites will try to scam you into purchasing membership with fraudulent e-mails. How can I identify such e-mails?<br /><br />I&#039;ve received plenty of these scam-mails. These are usually easy to identify and are often sent to you if you have an account with a certain website, and then suspend it, cancel it, or do not have any activity on it for a while. In fact, I have one right here. This particular scam mail is... Sun, 03 Oct 2004 22:38:53 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9356 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9287 I've just joined a Masters course at a new college, and I have friends whom I really like, but there are guys and girls who won't talk to me. What can I do to become more popular?<br /><br />I&#039;m in a similar situation myself. I just started Grad school in September &#039;04, and have found it somewhat difficult to strike up friendships with these new people, but I have learned in time to overcome the obstacles. First off, if you are in a Master&#039;s program then you will...

I'm very concerned about this... am I over-reacting?<br /><br />At the risk of drawing hostility from some people I am going to say that this is DEFINITELY something to be worried about. I don&#039;t care what the situation is: A 26 year-old has NO business with a 16 year-old, period. First of all, it is illegal, and I dare say immoral. The 16 year old...

What should I do?<br /><br />I had a girlfriend that was just like this. She was 23 years old without a single penny to her name.

Don&#039;t take this the wrong way, but you never should&#039;ve been doing this in the first place. You should respect the fact that he is in a relationship.

What can I do to get her attention again?<br /><br />Be yourself. And honestly if its popularity that she&#039;s looking for, and not the quality of the type of person that you are, she isn&#039;t worth your time. Try to talk to her and be her friend. If she&#039;s a good person she&#039;ll talk to you whether you&#039;re popular or not. If...

Then I got back together with my original boyfriend while still seeing the new guy. Is this cheating? How do I avoid hurting anyone?<br /><br />Yes, of course this is cheating. Break off the relationship with the new guy. If you got back with your old boyfriend, why are you still seeing the new guy? By dating both of them you&#039;re jerking them both around, espcially if your boyfriend thinks that you two are exclusive again, and...

In fact I&#039;ve known many girls who suggestively tease and be rather frank with sexual innuendo to be completely prude and unwilling. Many of my friends have noticed the same thing...they will tease, but when faced with the situation they turn into an icebox. Its likely that...

A nymphomaniac is someone who is basically a sexaholic...they&#039;ll take it anywhere, any way they can get it from anyone at any time.

We broke up but eventually worked it out. Should I have taken her back? Is it likely she will do it again?<br /><br />I would say its definitely likely she would do it again. Why? Because she did it 3 times in one week. Most people who cheat and feel honestly guilty about it never do it more than once, but she did it 3 seperate times. Obviously the relationship didn&#039;t mean as much to her as it should if...

He asked me out and I accepted, and she reacted by not speaking to either of us again, even after we broke up. Was he fair game or not?<br /><br />You are not to blame for this. She told you he was &#039;just a friend&#039;. Apparently she had deeper feelings for him, but she never told you. If it meant so much to her then she should have acted first and tried to ask him out. And apparently he was more attracted to you, so neither one...

I beleive the episode where Will calls Uncle Phil and tells him he&#039;s not coming back was a season finale. When the next season began, it opened with...

She seems loyal, but I am alarmed at her secrecy and the amount of time she spends on it. Should I be worried?<br /><br />If I were in your shoes, I would be alarmed too. Its especially cause for alarm if she tells you that she&#039;s going to bed or signing off, and then signs on with the other name for a long period of time. But my question is, how did you find out about this screen name? If you were spying...

Should I be worried?<br /><br />Not at all. If they&#039;ve been there for several years and haven&#039;t bothered you at all, then what you have is a very common, normal occurence in most men. These are called &quot;pearly penile papules&quot; and are completely harmless. They take several different forms...one form is as...

How can I address this without hurting her feelings?<br /><br />Don&#039;t bother. If you enjoy her company, who cares what other people think? She&#039;s YOUR girlfriend. Everyone else is just a person that you probably won&#039;t ever know or talk to. Everyone is different, and most of those other people that get &#039;irritated&#039; probably have...

We are very close and I recently made the usual 'first kiss' move. She didn't reject me but was hesitant, and I am afraid I came on too strong. What should I do?<br /><br />If it didn&#039;t make the relationship awkward, don&#039;t worry about it. The &#039;first kiss&#039; scenario in a new relationship is always edgy...many times a girl will just simply not be ready for it. If she was hesitant or mentioned that you&#039;re &#039;moving too fast&#039; then...

Why don't they ever pass fully into the other world?<br /><br />If you&#039;re asking &#039;why do people believe ghosts are in this world&#039; in terms of why they believe they exist, its simply because people can believe whatever they want, and some experiences or strong religious beliefs or other reasons give them that belief.

He tells me that he is working or that he fell asleep. What should I do?<br /><br />I would say the fact that he goes 3 or 4 days without calling you is VERY strange. As I once said in another answer on this site, I always call my girlfriend AT LEAST once a day, and that is IF I don&#039;t have regular contact with her throughout the day, whether it be through text-messaging on...

Now after not talking for almost 3 weeks she's contacting me like crazy. What could've brought about the change?<br /><br />As Andersen777 pointed out, it seems like she may have had a change of heart, or a few other possible reasons.
