Honest Question about Islam?
No smart aleck answers please, lets be respectful. There is a large Muslim population here in the Dallas area, especially where I live, and alot of Muslim women work at our local Walmart. I notice that sometimes these women are going about their work wearing latex gloves. I think that they probably wear them when they are working the checkout to avoid directly touching pork and other forbidden foods, but why do they wear them when folding baby clothes or handling clothing?
Why can't people handle the brutal honest truth?
I have a personality where I will tell exactly how I feel and what is truth. I can not understand why people can not handle it. Nothing anyone says can or will offend me. They are just words. But I have people crying to me because I told them they are not pretty, they are overweight, they can not be a doctor. I say these things for a reason. If you are overweight, I think someone should tell you to loose weight.
Why can't women handle rejection?
I've knocked back a couple of women in my time and it really seemed to hit them hard. I'm never mean just honest about how I feel about them, but in a gentle way. I've been knocked a few times too but I don't let it get me down for too long- i see it as almost a lesson learned and then move on to my next trivial pursuit... So why do women handle rejection so badly?
What does it mean when you ask a girl an honest question, and she doesn't answer?
The term “honest question is meaningless.” These are all honest questions:Are you democrat or republican?Do you like the Beatles (or whatever group you fancy)Have you ever read book X?Where are you from?etc.Just because you are asking a question, it does not require others to answer, because:They may not want to talk to youThey don’t want to lieThey consider the answer NONE of your businessThey don’t want to be bothered in generalThey don’t have an answeretc.So, no answer? It can mean 10 different things, but most likely, “please don’t bother me.”
Do women not handle criticism well...?
I'm asking out of past experiences: When I was in theater arts class we were rehearsing some lines to some monologue and there was this girl that I knew pretty well who asked me to give my 100% honest opinion on her signing. I agreed and she sang, after the performance I told her that she needed to work on her voice a lot more and that I just wasn't able to "catch on" to the song as typically expected. She also needed improvement on some of the high pitch lyrics of the song. Overall I gave her performance a less than okay review. Well, I wont go into exact details but she got pretty upset and stormed away and didn't talk to me for like two weeks. Completely avoided me. For what? for giving my honesty opinion like she asked? How was this MY fault? Another example is when one of my buddy's girlfriend made some food at a friends' house. Likewise she asked how I honesty felt about the quality of her cooking and I told her it could use some slight touch ups here and there. At first she didn't seem upset but then a few days later I learned that she apparently took it hard and got all emotional about it and complained to her boyfriend. The reason why I'm asking if this is mainly a woman thing is because I've given similar honesty opinions with other guys and they never seem to take it to heart. Your thoughts on the matter? My apologies if I offended anyone...
Do men like honest women?
Do men like honest women?Okay, first off, I’m sure you know what’s coming, but:There is no such thing as “what men like.” Do men like popcorn? Do men like crime dramas on TV? Do men like horses? Men are individuals; different men like different things; if you ask the question “Do men like [X]” it shows you’re thinking of men as a group and not recognizing what it means to see men as individuals.Standard boilerplate; I need to make it a macro.Now, on to the specifics: You say “every time I've stated an opinion about something or I talk about myself, I don't hide behind lies or sugarcoating the truth.” This is something I hear a lot from people who are brutal but congratulate themselves on their “honesty.”In my experience, the people who are worth knowing, and certainly the people who are worth being in a relationship with, appreciate honesty. I appreciate honesty; I will not be in a relationship with someone who makes a habit of duplicity, or of saying what she thinks I want to hear instead of what she genuinely believes.So yes. But…Most reasonable people also appreciate kindness.There are ways to be honest and also kind. All too often, when I hear someone say “I don’t sugarcoat the truth,” what it seems they’re actually saying is “I am not kind; in fact, I’m kind of a dick.”Kindness is not “sugarcoating.” You can be honest and also be kind. It’s a combination I highly recommend.
Why can't men be truthful?
"Everyone lies" - House.It's just that some people lie more than others. Honestly, I find women lie a lot more than men, but about different things and for different reasons.eg. When was the last time a woman said 'Sorry, but while I really enjoyed our conversation together, I'm not going to give you my number because I simply don't find you very attractive and don't want to lead you to believing you have any chance with me.' Or have I been meeting the wrong women and some will tell me the truth?
Do women thrive on conflict?
I am a woman and I hate conflicts of all kinds, at work, with my boyfriend, my family, anyone. I do not enjoy problems at all. Maybe when I have a problem I make a bigger deal out of it than what it should be, but I don't enjoy making myself or other people unhappy. Women are more talkative and express themselves more than men do. To give you a somewhat lame example, I had to go to this cheap vet this morning, and people that want to get in early and get it done with have to get there early and stand in line. I stood in line in the hot sun for nearly an hour. I did not see a single man in line strike up a conversation or even speak to anyone else in line, meanwhile I couldn't help but being drawn into a conversation behind me and talking with a gaggle of women. Even once I got in the place the women were making conversation and sharing stories while all the men were quiet and stoic. Women are maybe not more emotional than men, but they certainly are more expressive and rely on others to validate their emotions and get them out. I don't think you're any more drawn to women in crisis than most guys. Women have some need to express themselves and talk. I do have to say my boyfriend handles me well. While a sympathetic guy, he just asks for me to keep everything to a minimum and let him know what's really going on. And I can do that.
