Would you rather give orders or take them?
Depends on what the orders are about. If it's something I've done before and/or know a lot about, I would want to give orders. But if it's something I have never done before and/or don't know anything about, I would take orders, because I wouldn't want to give the wrong orders and look stupid.
Why do you give a dehydrated person salty water rather than pure water?
(see edit below) I'm assuming that you mean intravenously. Orally, you could give pure water to a dehydrated person. Or you could give a hypotonic saline solution (some salt added). Salty water is called saline. If it is as salty as normal blood, it is called isotonic or normal saline (NS). If it has half the saltiness of blood, it is half-normal saline (1/2 NS) and is hypotonic relative to plasma (which is the fluid part of blood, distinct from the cells) Given IV, pure water would cause hemolysis (rupture of the red blood cells) due to osmosis. The red blood cells (RBCs) would swell and burst releasing their hemoglobin into the watery plasma. The IV fluid used to correct dehydration must contain some sodium (Na+) to prevent hemolysis of the RBCs, but it should be a hypotonic solution (wateryer, thinner) relative to blood. Normal saline is isotonic with respect to normal blood. Thus, half normal or quarter normal saline will provide free water without hemolyzing eythrocytes, another name for the RBCs. Note that dehydration is the removal of pure water from the blood stream making the blood hypertonic and hypernatremic (osm > 300 and Na+ > 150). The removal of water and electrolytes causes hypovolemia, but need not change the tonicity or salinity of the remaining plasma. *edit* I notice that my answer has two thumbs down. I suggest that you disregard those. This answer is correct. I am an internist and treat this problem frequently. It's my job. This is basic fluids and electrolytes medicine, a branch of nephrology. Look it up if necessary. Anybody can express an opinion here, however ill-informed it is. As I said, this answer is correct. And you know it is if you've ever drunk tap water when dehydrated. It works just fine. But don't put it in your vein.
Why would some women rather throw a fit when they don't get their way instead of being nice and sweet?
Haha, what?Plenty of men throw a fit when they don’t get what they want, too you know! Probably way more men do than women. Men are far less likely to be nice and sweet when they don’t get what they want, too. Or haven’t you noticed?None of which is complaint, or fault-finding. Why should any of us, men or women, be nice and sweet when we don’t feel nice and sweet? To trick others into thinking we’re nice and sweet?Fat chance! Who’s fooled by that? It’s usually a little too obviously a tactic.People whose approach when they’re thwarted is to be nice and sweet are often passive-aggressive manipulators (do you want more of these, is that it?). Not all of them - for some, nice and sweet is just their default mode, and they respond to everything that way. But anyone who turns nice and sweet when you don’t give them what you want - nicer and sweeter than they were before you denied them - it’s pretty obviously a manipulation tactic. Which is fine! People try to get their way, it’s understood. I’m not criticizing other peoples’ coping mechanisms.I am wondering why you feel more people - specifically, more women - should adopt this particular coping mechanism. Do you have a preference for fake feelings, or what?Most people who don’t get their way, if it’s something that matters to them, they will object. Even object strenuously, up until they realize their push-back isn’t going to change the result. Their frustration vented or their objection expressed, at some point they just drop it and move on. Some do so with equanimity and a shrug (“Can’t win ’em all!”). Others with frustration internalized as resentment. Some of these will cherish a desire to take it out on you, if they get the chance, in their own good time.A lot of those do act nice and sweet. Men and women. Nice and sweet isn’t any reflection of sincere good will, necessarily. It’s how some people act by nature and inclination, how others act when they feel nice and sweet, and how still others act as a tactic: a coping mechanism, or a way to manipulate outcomes.If you think it’s bad to pitch fits when thwarted, instead of acting nice and sweet, surely you must admit guys are way worse than women, there. So I’m really not sure why you single out women on this one. Because, guys: way worse.All the worst fits I’ve seen were pitched by frustrated and disappointed dudes, not women.
Why is it so much easier to give advice rather than take it yourself?
I assume that you give advice for good.You think you are helping, doing a noble deed. You genuinely believe that you have the adequate understanding of someone else’s situation and the appropriate advice which if followed can alleviate their problems.We give advice because of our sheer urge to help people. As we can’t bear their agony. We feel that if we can’t contribute something tangible then the least we can do is advice. Maybe we would manage to strike a gold with our brilliant pieces of suggestions! I think this is the mentality behind giving guidance and advices.When it comes to taking advice, everybody has a different stance regarding that. Sometimes we ask for it, sometimes it comes unrequested. For Free!Taking advice involves complexities because from the point of view of the taker, often its unwarranted and uncalled for! Its a belief that no amount of other’s advice will help you! Only you can help yourself!Sometimes there are external factors like ego clashes, superiority issues that block our objectivity and we refuse to take advice.Its difficult to take advice because its not a single piece, its a range. Different people say different things and leave you confused. You have hundred voices blocking your own voice. You have people who have never gone through what you have, advicing you.So its easier to give advice rather than take one.

Whenever I take a blood test, they say I have small veins. Is it a problem?
It's only a problem in the way that your small veins can make it more difficult to obtain a good blood sample. Getting an accurate reading on a blood test requires a blood sample that is good quality, and sufficient quantity for whatever tests need to be done.Having small veins might make it harder for the person drawing your blood to get enough for all of the tests. The quality of the blood sample can also be affected when someone has small veins. Since the draw is more difficult, the sample is more likely to be hemolyzed or clotted, making the sample unacceptable for analysis. This won't happen every single time your blood is drawn, and it's possible to happen regardless of if your veins are small. It's just more likely to happen if it is difficult to draw blood from your veins.The experience of the phlebotomist or person drawing your blood also comes into play. An inexperienced phlebotomist might have more difficulty obtaining a blood sample from you, where an experienced phlebotomist gets a good sample on the first try. Drawing blood is weird in the way that the opposite can be true too. Everyone has their good and bad days drawing blood.The best thing for you to do is let the person drawing your blood know that you have been hard to draw in the past.
Why do we prefer to take advice from strangers rather than those closest to us?
Why do we prefer to take advice from strangers rather than those closest to us?Perhaps it is because the ones closest to us have shown personal prejudice or poor judgment; perhaps because they undervalue us and take us for granted. Just because we look up to our families, it does not mean that we have to agree with or follow their advice. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten terrible advice from my biased family members.Since I choose my friends, I’m more likely to accept their advice. Even so, I recognize the flaws some in their opinions, especially in those whose own lives have not been totally successful. When I look for advice, I seek people who have experience and good judgment. Sometimes those people are strangers.
What are some reasons why some women prefer to hint rather than explicitly tell a guy who has asked them out that they're not interested in dating him?
I'm going to leave aside the case of a potential stalker, stringing someone along, or any other more pathological case. Thus I'm assuming two well-intentioned people. Many women are socialized to be polite and indirect. (Some guys would benefit from being a bit more socialized that way.) Also, in Western culture, guys are in the role of pursuer. Being indirect lets the guy save face, which is a decent thing in many ways. You both get to keep your options open. It might be that "no" depends on current conditions, such as being too busy at the moment, for instance. The downside to an infirm "no" is that, given that guys are typically cast in the role of pursuer, if you're not clear about what you want we're stuck having to guess. Frequently we will end up guessing wrong. This is especially so for an insecure or confused guy trying to figure out dropped hints. Essentially both sides' insecurities end up hurting them when they both might benefit from her saying "sorry, this isn't going to work" straight out. But then she'd have to own that feeling, and one of the benefits of being indirect is that you don't have to. (An infirm "no" isn't an exclusively female thing. There are plenty of guys with a poor no. I was one until I worked on it.) In some respects, the problem for both sexes has gotten worse given the breakdown of the old "dating rules" that used to exist. Whatever you might think about them, they provided a basic script for things.
