    Rank + Friendship

    I'm weird, I would prefer someone else to come first rather than my friend because I wouldn't be as jealous if I wasn't close to them. Luckily I'm a defeatist when it comes to competition so I can huff that I'd rather be seen as lazy than incompetent. :D

    How do you challenge your prejudices?

    I don't think I suffer from severe bigotry. The closest thing to a prejudice I can recall is not being attracted to certain races in a partner, especially my own. I'm fine with friendship though and because I have zero experience at dating so at least I haven't actually rejected anyone for such...

    Philosophy

    I am doing the usyd Mind and Morality yr 11 course. It's challenging in a good way but frustrating at the same time, mind-body problem is probably the hardest essay I've ever had to write :S Cartesian Dualism is nomologically outdated and Materalism is too rigid about soul theory so I proposed...

    Religious affiliation

    Agnostic, although my dad is Catholic so I pray to Jesus and Mary too, I have a Buddhist worldview but I can reconcile it with liberal Christianity. I often have conversations with humans in my head as well as deities so the whole "figment of your imagination" argument doesn't really phase me...

    Have you ever been intimidated by someone's attractiveness?

    I'm more intimidated by intelligence than looks. It is a more predominant focused area of self-doubt and aspiration that would make me more sensitive/paranoid to failure and feeling stupid. I do believe there are no mistakes only learning experiences though, no further emo rant required. :)

    None of the people in my year have had sex

    What makes a guy/girl UNattractive?

    You can still believe you're smart and be humble about it, what you do with what you have is more important- just being secure and grateful yet inquisitive. I don't have a problem with someone telling me they perceive themselves as intelligent but excessive boasting or excessive self-deprecation...

    What do you want in a relationship?

    Along with loyalty, trust, respect and the usual cliches, idealistically: I want someone who will challenge and complement my weaknesses- more confident and extraverted to bring me out of my shell, interested in similar topics of conversations but will provide intelligent, insightful...

    "teen love"

    I don't resent that from an adult's perspective, "teen love" is an experimental stage with less strings attached. It's a necessary learning phase or shiny glimpse of the real thing but nonetheless puppy love in comparison to the challenges real love entails. I don't see how this is cruel or...

    Single.. Who has never had a Girlfriend/boyfriend?

    I'm awkward and dude-repellant. Sure it's sad but at the same time kind of funny. I hate being assessed and I hate assessing others so unless the world is willing to "settle" for unconditional love, the thought of me dating can pretty much go to hell. I tend to push people I like away out of...

    I realised something recently...

    Ugh you insensitive pricks, so much that I wouldn't be surprised if the OP was a parody thread. Whatever, benefit of the doubt.. it seems to also relate to social anxiety- that I identify with.

    Common Misconceptions about the opposite sex

    Girls are more chatty than guys. No, introversion/extraversion is quite a significant factor as well as life experiences, whether conducive of the "shy gene" etc. As a generalisation girls may have a greater need for communication- I write long-winded personal blogs despite being mute irl, but...

    Q's For Girls!

    1. Is it true that girls like bad guys? Only in terms of being a bit cheeky/mischievous to keep things interesting, shows individuality but I suppose the category of "bad boy" would be misleading here unless they were a druggie/alcopop/party tool/hard cunt/sore prick/screaming infidelity etc...
