• A comment on Conversation: What is the key to smarter decisions?

  Oct 25 2012: to make smarter decisions. is go by what you feel is right, listening to yourself and giving yourself the time to think to yourself, "Is this really what i want to do, is this what i choose to do, does this feel right, do i feel good about making this decision?" ultimately its up to how you feel, and through experience be they good or bad, you learn...either way...through failure you learn the most and gain the most experience, thus making those smarter more wiser decisions in my opinion.

• A comment on Conversation: What makes someone "interesting" and how does this affect their level of attractiveness?

  Oct 25 2012: what makes someone interesting, is what you find and perceive interesting to be in your perspective, and to how much you actually take time to know or understand that person or persons will ultimately determine your means and placement of level of attractiveness you find towards that person in your mind and how you feel as you observe there characteristics.

• A comment on Conversation: Debate: Can non-standard monogamous relationships work?

  Oct 23 2012: Monogamous relationships...in my opinion, takes a lot of time, patience and genuine understanding of each other. Also, you've got to also do a lot of listening with one another. Listening is a BIG PART for any long term or serious relationship, because i believe listening to one another creates sharing information with one another...that way both participants are aware of what one they are saying, and not just one person making all the rules and whatever, cause that would just seem selfish if it is just one person calling all the shots. it requires teamwork and "the wanting of being together", being attracted to one another, not just physically, but all the other aspects, mentally, and whole heartedly... and being open about things that frustrate you...talk about your problems. be comforting ...a lot of people find it difficult to be open with there problems cause they see it as a sign of weekness, but really...i believe in a monogamous or any relationship with someone being open with your problems creates this comfort in which you can help the person by being there for them, because sometimes the world is a crazy place, and just a shoulder and someone to talk to, can mean so much at that moment, that is creates a stronger bond, a sense of faithfulness and security...which is a big thing also i think in these kinds of relationships. and lastly, YOU MAKE IT WORK. if you want to be in a monogamous relationship then so be it. you can make it happen, anyone can, its just that statistically nowadays with the high devorce rates in America, i guess a lot of them choose not to. but thats them. its really all up to you how you want to live your life. : ) People perceive love in many ways.
