    in love with my bestfriend????

    If you're that close with her you should be able to talk about stuff like this without it being too majorly awkward. Just tell her how you feel, be respectful about it, let her know you want to stay friends no matter what her decision.

    » Karate or Kickboxing for self defense ?

    I'd be tempted to say kickboxing. I study Karate and find that most of it probably won't help me that much in a fight. Maybe it will be different given a few more years of practice. Who knows. Out of anything the sparring practice would help the most, you learn some useful stuff like "It...

    so how many of you girls fit my criteria

    Unfortunately for you, the 4% of the population that you find dateable also have 'standards.' Kudos for turning love into an algorithm. ps. Don't make the "PMS" call with your dream girl, she will drop you like a sack of decade-old potatoes.

    so how many of you girls fit my criteria

    Who gives? Clothes are clothes. You're like a reverse snob. Prejudice against expensive clothes rather than against cheap ones. It's like you're in court arguing that the sweater you wore was red, not blue, instead of that you didn't rob the bank. Trivial is trivial.

    Her word speaks only truth. Take this advice, it will be one of the best things you ever do.

    so how many of you girls fit my criteria

    I would argue that when you love someone you find it extremely difficult to tick them off against a checklist. You don't overlook their flaws, you either find them endearing, or decide that it's worth it. Also, flaws are things like "hypocritical, backstabbing, unfaithful, commitment issues" not...

    Intelligence difference and BF/GF capability

    I would argue that the degree you do is not representative of your level of intelligence, or whether you are a "high acheiver" as such. A person with a UAI of 97 may choose to do an bachelor of science/ arts/ whatever degree requiring a score of approx 60, work incredibly hard and be motivated...

    Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey?

    There's this amazing phenomenon of... being able to watch a movie more than once, and being able to ask your teacher for help. If you still don't get it, probs dropping the course is an appropriate course of action.

    Should I break off my friendship...?

    Your friend had the initiative to ask. Probably your friend didn't even think about it until your other friend asked. It's not even a slight. It sounds like you have a pretty good relationship wth your friend. Don't let your stress over trying to find a job, cloud your judgement and ruin...

    Any 1st students finding university life difficult?

    Welcome to uni life. You will either adapt or drop out. In lectures they cover topics, but it's up to you to do the practice/ extra reading at home so that you understand the topics. If you still don't get it, ask in your tutes or email the lecturer about it (but ask specific questions, don't...

    Moving to Sydney..Good idea or not?

    Yeah man, cause like, fuck the aboriginals, we want to see more real Australians around the place. OP: Be prepared to fork out the $$$ for the sydney experience. On-campus accomodation is $300/week and this is reasonably cheap.

    i think i may have ruined the best thing that ever happened to me.

    You fucked up. Best thing you can do now is apologise sincerely and hope to move on. one question: are you upset at yourself because you screwed something up with your girlfriend, or because you did something selfish and hurtful? Cause if it's only the first one then don't even bother...

    Now tell me this isn't evil.

    I wouldn't call the church's actions evil, but it's pretty ignorant. And wrong. And un-Christian. Like the little girl needs more emotional trauma after what she's already suffered. Nobody has the right to expect her to be a mother at this stage in her life, let alone to the twins of a man...

    Happiness

    Hmmm that's a pretty interesting idea... I guess the question now is, what should the government promote? For the factor about society as a whole that is producing unhappiness, I'd place my bets on stressful lifestyles.
