    From the ladies perspective, is there such a thing as a dude that is just too clean? or if given a choice, do you prefer to be with someone that smells good all the time? Recent studies have suggested that having too many showers, etc. may actually affect your immune system; but I wanted to know if the ladies had a preference.

    Let's say you know what is love and you believe you experienced it. You have a partner who you love and you consider this to be the best love you've ever felt and the strongest most intense one. A billionaire makes you an offer: 1.Never to see this person again in your lifetime for the sum of 80 million USD? 2.To watch your partner have sex with somebody else in front of you, however he/she cannot fake, he/she should be relaxed and feel genuine pleasure from the act (it will be detected to a brain scanning system or smth. to see that), so you'll have to watch him/her have pleasurable sex. 3.To have sex with your mother(if man), father (if woman) for this amount of money.(sorry for the sick question, a friend next to me just gave me the idea...I admit, that's sick...) Please answer both questions and specify your gender and age. Thank you. Answer to 1, 2 , 3 with yes/no.
  • How can I calm down and trust my man?

    Marriage & Divorce - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I love my partner so much, we have been together for nearlly 10 years. I know of so many people who have split up and divorced people too. I said to my friend what would you do if your husband left you and she said, there is always someone else round the corner. My problem is I love my partner so much and I know he loves me but I am scared of him leaving me one day, it seems to happen so much in life. I couldnt stand it. I dont want anyone else who maybe round the corner I just want him. Many of the people I know leave because of an affair. I worry in case one day he meets someone else that he will fall for. He says he wont but how do you know unless you meet that person that makes you feel excited? He says he still feels like that with me and noone else could make him feel like that, How can anyone know until it happens? I trust he wouldnt sleep with anyone else for the sake of it but how can you trust someone not to do that if it just happens and they didnt expect it to either?
  • Can guys explain this to me?

    Singles & Dating - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Why do some guys, not all of course, feel threatened by a girl and see her as competition rather than someone he should care for and respect.Usually they are nice and respectful at first and some guys stay that way but some guys feel they have something to prove and start to play up. I get that girls do this too, but i'm interested in why there are some guys who do this. Is it a power struggle? If its a woman that they feel no control with? she threatens his ego in some way? I get that it depends on the type of women, soe can be loud brash and yell "I'm a strong woman!"- those women are usually weak and also have something to prove. I'm just talking about normal mature level headed girls.
  • What should I do about him?

    Singles & Dating - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I have a friend that i've known for about 9 years. We were quite good friends 9 years ago, but after that we only saw each other occasionally for years. About 6 months ago we got closer again and started seeing each other more regularly. He said to me a few months ago that all those years ago he had a massive crush on me. I was surprised and told him i'd never seen him as anything other than a friend. But I assumed he was over that. It turns out he's not and a friend of his took me to one side the other day and told me that he really, really likes me and since then he's been making it really obvious. Like he made some burritos when i went round to his flat and they were so spicy I could only eat a bit of one and he was visibly upset and kept saying sorry and that he'd f*cked up. I felt really guilty for not being able to eat more. When we chat on MSN or facebook he often implies that he likes me. I've told hm 3 times now that I only see him as a friend and now it's getting to the point that i'm uncomfortable around him. He is a really, really cool guy, I just don't fancy him The thing is, what do I do? I really want to keep this guy as a friend, he's a lot of fun and I like the people i've met through him a lot. I know the best thing is to probably just stop hanging around with him but I don't want to have to do that
  • Why would I say the wrong name while having sex?

    Singles & Dating - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Ok so i know this has probably happened before but while having sex with my gf i popped out the name of my ex. Not only do i feel awful about this, but its eating me up inside as to why. The only thing i can think of is she was on top and the only girl that ever did that before was my ex, so my fool male mind shot out the name it associated the feeling with. I know all the girls that will reply to this will probably think me some scumbag, but I'm not cheating on my current gf, i love and adore her more than anyone i've ever met, that's why this is killing me. To boot I honestly hated my ex, she moved in with me after like 2 weeks, stayed eating my food, using me as a taxi, and just caused more problems for me than anyone i've ever been with for 6 long months. I didn't have the balls to boot her to the curb and let her live on the street so that's my fault, but why in the world i moan her name?! I'm sitting here with the greatest girl i've ever met, and i blurt out THAT name. Not even a famous name like Heidi Klum, but my freaking ex! I keep asking myself WTF, but nothing comes to mind really other than i'm a total moron. So if any guys, or girls have any idea what the hell i was thinking please enlighten me. She's sticking around for now, but i don't know for how long, all i know is i feel like i don't deserve her.

  • Should I forgive my best friend?

    Friends - 7 hours ago

    Additional Details

    My best friend of twenty odd years decided to send me a email the other day commenting on my grammar and said that my English was very bad. I had made a comment about a person in a picture and she picked me up on it, saying how, it was only a simple grammar mistake but that I should improve my english. I took this very badly, and probably replied in haste with a few horrible comments, she then said she knew I would act this way, but what I cant understand is, if she knew I would act this way, why would she do or such a thing. She has apologised but when she does it doesn't seem very sincere because she then comes back with, I was doing you a favour by pointing out your english errors, Im sorry you feel this way but......etc etc. I ended up texting her and apologising , saying I probably overreacted but she then left my 16 hours to stew, thinking that it was all my fault...again what friend does this? Im seriously stressed and upset about the whole situation, we have been best friends for years and it came out of nowhere, do you think I should forgive her and move on or would you end the friendship?? I'd really appreciate your advice peeps .

Couplehood vs. Singledom

The pros of being both single and in a relationship ...

By Vicki Karigiannis
Couplehood vs. Singledom
Do you think being single is better than being in a relationship? Are you part of the camp that believes being committed to another is superior to being committed to oneself? Why should there even be a competition between singledom and couplehood? We’ve got the upsides to both!

When with a partner, there’s always (usually) consistent sex.
When single, you can have sex with anyone and everyone. (Okay, not everyone…)

When with a partner, you always have someone to confide in.
When single, you don’t have to answer to anyone.

When with a partner, you can envision a future with him.
When single, you can look forward to surprises the future will hold.

When with a partner, you can do everything together.
When single, you can do whatever you want!

When with a partner, your guy is your best friend.
When single, you can have as many friends of the opposite sex as you’d like.

When with a partner, you’re in tune with someone else’s feelings.
When single, you don’t have to worry about hurting anyone’s feeling—theoretically speaking, of course.

When with a partner, you are an independent woman who’s part of a loving, interdependent relationship.
When single, you are a 100% fiery, independent woman.

When with a partner, you have someone to share that calorific piece of chocolate cake with.
When single, you can have that chocolate cake all to yourself!

When with a partner, you have someone to curl up with at nights.
When single, you can stretch out and have the whole bed to yourself.

When with a partner
, your social network has expanded to include his family and friends, not just your own.
When single, you only have your own lovingly nutty family and friends to deal with.

    these could only be true if you're in a loving relationship with your partner. for the singles who'd rather enjoy their life, being alone is just fine. no matter you're with someone or plainly single, what's important is you're happy and contented with your life...no more debate!!!

    Playbunniez: You can be lonely in a relationship, too, if your relationship is co-dependent or unhealthy for some other reason. If your life is lonely even if you have good friends, having a boyfriend won't solve your problems. If you're not content with yourself and looking for someone else to bring you contentment, that is a sure-fire way to destroy the relationship because you are putting a lot of pressure on that person to keep you happy. Your boyfriend won't be with you 24/7. He has his own friends (unless you want to be the kind of girl who monopolizes his time and keeps him away from others) and he has a job, so there will be times when you are alone. Deal with it like a big girl! I also disagree with "consistent sex" comment. Most of the committed/married couples I know stopped having sex like bunnies after 6 months together. Now with kids or years of being with the same person or whatever else, I probably have more sex than they do - and I'm single. I think it's more important to be happy with whatever situation you choose to be in and not have to justify your choice. This laundry list seems like a way for people to defend themselves if their choice to be single or coupled is ever under attack. People should just mind their own damn business and let each other do what they want.

    I get the whole single vs couplehood. When you are with someone yes, there is someone there when you get home from a long day, but when you are single there is only your cat to comfort you after a hellish day. Its a lonley life no matter how many friends you have or even if you have roomates!
