Girls, why do you prefer older guys instead of the ones with the same age?
I'm not sure really. I know it's not money, because I actually have a tendency to go for guys who earn very little (I'm a bit suspicious of rich men.)
Partly I think it's because older men tend to find me attractive, whereas guys my own age don't fancy me at all.

Why do i have acne ? i dont drink pop. i drink lke 4 water bottles a day. i play sports all teh time. Y do i have acne?
I am willing to put money on the fact that you have acne because you are a teenager and it's caused by your hormones going haywire. Acne can be made worse by things like bad diet and bad skin care regimes (and if you're sweating a lot after sport that may well not be helping.), but what causes it is hormones. Past a certain point even the most exemplary diet won't get rid of it...

Scars are damaged skin, they will fade with time (in your case they'll probably be virtually unnoticable within a few years) and there are things you can do that will help, but you can't remove them completely without specialist cosmetic procedures (such as a skin peel or microdermabrasian - neither of which...

I live in a small town and every potential partner i meet is already taken. where are good places to meet single women aged18-22
Places I was when I was (intermittently) single between the ages of 18 and 22 include:
- pubs/ clubs/ bars (obviously)
- rock concerts (this is a good one for meeting people if you're into music of some kind or another)
- theatre and cinema (again if you hang around after the show, can also be good as you have instant conversation material)
- dance classes

I would love to become an actress, but the problem is I don't know how I should start
I'd start by getting involved in acting on an amateur level. Take drama at school, audition for the school or church play, and join a drama club or class in your local area. Proper drama courses, whether at college or stage school aren't generally interested in people with no previous experience of acting so you need to build that up.

I also found picking up basic Welsh very easy - in the sense that I never really tried to learn any of it - just picked it up from being around Welsh speakers.
I think it just depends on the circumstances under which you learn.

Why do some women wear the most uncomfortable high-heels for vanity?
It's all about the pay-off. High heels, in most people's views, look better than flat shoes. they have a more pleasing shape, they make calves look more toned, feet smaller and are generally more flattering and pretty to look at.
Some people will choose one way of looking at it: it's worth looking a little less attractive if I can be comfortable.

I don't believe the two are mutually exclusive. There's nothing morally wrong in making things look pretty and enjoying the slightly tacky superficial side of the season, it doesn't stop you from being able to help out those in need or care about more important things.

It depends what's in them.

You do realise it's supposed to smell? Not excessively obviously, but the scent is part of the deal.
A better way to handle it (for future reference) would be to say "I'm going for a shower, care to join me?" And do the washing for her. If you tell her she stinks (even if it's true) she's fairly likely to go off the idea of having sex with you altogether.

I'm not a hermit - I do like dating, and I like spending time sometimes with friends and family, but after spending mor ethan a few days in constant company I start to crave peace and quiet.

Answer to:
Does losing your virginity make you more confident in approaching the opposite sex? (male & female)
I think it did a little. I guess I thought "well at least I know something about what that's all about then." and felt a bit less nervy around people I thought might potntially want to have sex with me.
Of course over the next few years I gradually discovered that you don't learn everything there is to know about sex in one night and the process got reversed again!

Well I get told a lot that the Bible defines marriage as being between a "man and a woman" (as opposed to a man and anything else I assume)so from that starting point I guess the idea of a man marrying a man is as outside the definition as a man marrying a rabbit.
However - we don't live in an exclusively Christian society, nor is it particularly common for people to feel the...

What bra cup size is considered big boobs?
Apparently the average breast size in Britain is now somewhere between a 36C and a 34E:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/programmes/body_image/my_big_breasts.shtml

Answer to:
Should the definition of 'marriage' include the joining of multiple people (polygamy) or provide legal recognition to paraphilia cases, such as those who have sexual feelings toward objects, or animals?
Marriage is a contract, so it would have to be between two people who were able to give consent to it - therefore objects and animals are definetly out of the picture.
Polygamy I think you could possibly make an argument for, although there would be issues regarding who would be counted as next-of-kin and whether the first partner would have superior rights to any subsequent partners - which...

Is it against the human male's nature to be monogamous? In other words, is it against his true nature to only have one partner for life, one "mate" to which he has to be faithful?
I don't think it's in either male or female nature to be monogamous for life - although I believe men naturally tend to want to move quicker, whereas women tend to be into one man for a block of several months before their attention shifts to a new one. (Men are promiscuous and women mate for life I think is a bit too simplistic - women do tend to get bored in relationships and start...

I just started dating a new guy and I feel sex is coming soon. Whats something very sexy that I can do, or wear for him when he shows up at my house sometime? I want to surprise him in a sexy way because I don't seem to be dirty and it would turn him
I'd try to work out what his "thing" is -some guys have several obviously- he might go for the St Trinian's schoolgirl type look, he might have a thing for Catwoman and like you in PVC, he might be into old fashioned style frilly lingerie, or he might be into something hotter (peephole bras etc).
Obviously you could just ask him - but that might spoil the surprise a bit, so...

I want to use a vibrator on my girlfriend, how can I make her agree?
You can't make her agree - some women like using vibrators, some dislike the sensation intensely - we're all built differently and all like different things.
In my experience using a vibrator during sex with a partner CAN be really good, but it can also be thouroughly horrendous if the guy starts shoving it around where he thinks it *should* feel good and then gets annoyed when she...

What practical purpose does wearing stockings serve?
Well - I like to have the option of wearing a skirt or trousers - and having something covering your legs means you still have the choice in slightly colder weather.
I generally find stockings (or hold ups at least) a bit more comfortable than tights (it's an air circulation thing)not to mention more practical, because if you get a ladder in one leg you don't have to throw the...

Do you think it's entertaining when a singer trashes a performance because of drug and alchohol problems (The way Amy Winehouse just did)? Or, would you be screaming for your money back?
I think if you go to see someone with a reputation like Amy Winehouse then you go along half-expecting that there's going to be a bit of a trainwreck on stage and you should allow for that when you purchase the tickets. If you want a glistening polished no-chances-taken, no hitches, predictable performance - go see Madonna.

It's easy to look at some smelly guy with a bottle in a paper bag sitting under the bridge and think "I'd never let myself get like that." if you've...

The others (with the *possible* exception of Nirvana) could be mistaken for other bands in the same genre if you weren't particularly into rock music.

If you have been diagnosed with any form of depression (including bipolar), what sort of non-medical things help you feel better when you're down? What kind of music, TV, or activities keep you from crossing into 'suicidal'? (My answer posted below.)
I find the best thing is physical activity. Which is often the last thing you feel like doing when depressed - but going for a swim or a run seems to help.

You might just have overfilled the machine - you need to give the hot air some space to circulate or it'll take forever to dry them - try taking some out and drying in two smaller loads.

Boots are getting wider and wider and wider these days - partly because bigger women seem to have a louder voice when it comes to high street fashion (go figure...) and partly because of the fashion for wearing boots over the top of skinny jeans. It's so rare I find a pair of boots that fit close to my legs that when I do I buy them immediately!

I think you're fighting a losing battle here. No-one, no-one, however close they might be to you - ever completely understands another human being.

It's just that generally people who are between the ages of about seventeen and twenty five often *are* students - the assumption probably has more to do with your age (or the age you look) rather than what you're wearing. I've never been the combat trousers and t-shirt type (I'm actually very well...

I think there are quite a lot of women who find homoerotica a turn on - it's just that most porn is aimed at a male audience, so we don't get to know about it as much.

I used a depilatory cream on my bikini area and looks like I shaved a few days ago on some areas because not all the hair was taken off... does this mean I need to leave it on longer?... or that this isn't for me?
In my personal opinion depilatary creams offer relatively little advantage over shaving compared to a huge amount of extra effort. I've tried various different brands and techniques and the result is still generally the same - the results last only very slightly longer than shaving, you still get stubble, it's easy to miss bits and you often end up with a rash (particularly if you...

It depends on the colour of the suit. If you're wearing a purple or green suit purple or green shoes are going to look a bit silly (not to mention quite difficult to locate). In general men ought really to stick to black, grey, navy or brown shoes with suits - and pick whichever of those colours work best with the colour of the suit (black is rarely wrong unless you're wearing a very...

It's difficult to tell exactly what the problem is from here but I have a few suggestions that may help:
- concentrate on exercise as a way to lose weight, rather than diets. In general it's easier to form a habit than to lose one, so starting to jog or swim a few times a week will probably be easier for you to do than to try to cut out your sugary stuff.

If there's no washing machine then eight or nine is good - one for each day and a couple just in case someone steals one (or any other emergency!)

Homemade vegetable or bean soups are brilliant - you can put almost anything in them. I tend to use tinned beans, pulses or lentils as it's quicker, but if you have time to leave them soak, dried pulses are even cheaper. You'll have to use your common sense regarding how long you need to leave things cook - tomatoes obviously cook very quickly, whereas potatoes will need to simmer for...

Nooo. It really is what you do with it - you could have a massive penis and still be crap in bed if you're not using it right. One of the best guys I ever had only had about six inches - he was just really good with it - plus there's more to sex than just sticking it in and grinding away.

A lot of fairy tales and stories are allegories - often for the process of growing up facing your demons and becoming a fully formed person. If you take the parents out of the picture you force your hero to be alone in the world and so grow up quicker and make decisions on their own without anyone to talk them through it - it helps to portray the idea of the child on the cusp of adulthood...

It sounds like he's just not ready to have a serious relationship at the moment - and trying to push him into that will result in more problems than if you just let him come around to it in his own time.
