orchidae8 Being alone is different from being lonely. Most of the time, I am alone, but I have so many things going on in my life that I don't even notice that I am alone. I see people as individuals so that if I meet them along my way, I just smile at them, greet them,...

orchidae8 It is easy to raise the questions that you did when one is not wallowing in any situation that s/he feels trapped. An individual who thinks trapped and sees no way of getting out from the situation will have nothing else to go for, but to end the entrapment....

orchidae8 Of course, it will bother me. After all, women are sweets-nectar, and if this co-worker has been known to flirt, then this husband has the propensity to probably take a dive for the sweet nectar. If the environment is right and this husband has no control over...

porygon @porygon (2) • Philippines 25 May 09

orchidae8 Never! If you claim to be a respected individual, then stand for it as a deed, not just as a descrpptive word to add to a manly self-appreciation. Females will always be "sweeter". That's part of their universal appeal. You will always be attracted to them,...

orchidae8 You are right, however, by our own upbringing, we do judge other people's ways of doing things. Just look at how we "appear" to look with some displeasure "breastfeeding". On the other hand, I am reminded of someone's statement: Your freedom or right to do...
