What are the Icelandic beliefs/oppinions on love, relationships, sex...?

I'm from America with a friend from Iceland...





He told me that Icelandic teens are allowed to have sex as young as 14/15...





I want to learn more about Icelandic oppinions on love, marraige, kids, etcetc.





A link would be great but if you come from/live in Iceland that would be great, too...





Thanks for your help.What are the Icelandic beliefs/oppinions on love, relationships, sex...?
Age of consent is 14 in Iceland. It's pretty much given that teens are going to have sex with each other so people are pretty open about it. Teens tend to have open sexual relationships, even staying at each others house with the parents' consent. Marriage isn't as common in Iceland as most other countries, but there are a lot of strong monogamous relationships. People just tend to stay together, have kids, live together, but never marry or wait 10-20 years to get married.

Is the south the only place where interracial relationships are frowned open for the majority?

I live in Va and i see some people who are tolerant and dont care about race and etc but in the south, the history of racism and etc never really dies. I personally could care less about race. I see people who are ok with black people and are friends but wont date them or will turn their backs on them if their friends date someone of the opposite race.Is the south the only place where interracial relationships are frowned open for the majority?
No, and ATL is the unofficial capital of interracial dating. Contrary to popular belief, there has always been more race mixing in the south than any other region on the country. The idea that southerners are somehow more racist than the rest of the country is a stereotype. The ignorant few are just less PC when it comes to expressing their feelings than those of a similar mind in the north. I don't know that that's, necessarily, a bad thing.





Maybe biracial children don't have problems because they're biracial. They have problems because everyone else can't just accept the fact that they're biracial, which is really no different than being half French and half Scottish and other insist that they have to be one or the other. Maybe if we just mind our own business, stop insisting that they're going to be confused and just give everyone the respect that they earn it wouldn't be an issue.Is the south the only place where interracial relationships are frowned open for the majority?
No I just moved to Philadelphia and this white guy got shot for having a black wife and the police never caught the guy who shot him!! How sad. I'm not racist or anything because I think that interracial relationships can help our nation but I personally would never marry out side my race after seeing what happened to that guy. But in Philly that don't seem to mind when a mixed guy has a black wife.
You cannot put a color on love - people have the right to make whatever choice they make for whatever reason.


Anyone who has spent any time on US bases of our military personnel should know it takes all walks of life, in all directions to come up with one true love.


Tolerance of choices of others, without the race card, is better today, than 50 years ago, but still has so far to go.
Even in the North interracial couples are looked at askance, but have never been as vocal about their disapproval as those in the south.
No its all around. Some say its because their offspring is a new race and/or the children never truly identify with either parents race.
Interracial relationships are frowned on where ever you go in the US

Is it true that only 1% of Highschool relationships turn into marriage?

What is the average number of relationships per teenager per year?Is it true that only 1% of Highschool relationships turn into marriage?
I really don't know the percentage, all I know is my own experience with it. My daughter started dating her high school bf when she was 16, he was 17. When she turned 18 (in February) she moved in with him. (He rents a house from his mom. His mom doesn't live there) They both graduated in May and got married in July. She was just over here tonight and they are having problems already. There isn't a problem with how they feel about each other. They are still head over heels in love. Its just the daily living, bills, jobs, spending time with friends, etc. She has discovered that he is controlling with money. He doesn't like the fact that when she has the day off work and he doesn't that she doesn't just sit around the house all day and that she has a life. He had a car before they were married, bought another car and then sold his first car to her. Its a junky car and she only is paying him like 400.00 but she still owes around 50.00 to him. He got mad at her tonight when he found out she was here visiting us and her siblings because she didn't ask permission to use ';his'; car. I don't agree with him making her buy it in the first place but it's even worse that she has it almost paid off and he is acting like this. Like I said, I know he loves her but he is only 19 and I am sure the pressure of being married and him being responsible for another human being is finally kicking in and he is getting stressed about it. She isn't a ';high maintenance'; girl. She works for what she needs. She loves him and is faithful to him. She is absolutely beautiful and sweet and kind. The whole issue is that they are both so young that they haven't figured out how to live their own lives yet let alone share it with someone else. I tried so hard to get them to wait a year or two. Told them both that they are both going to go through a lot of mental and emotional changes in the next few years and that what they want right now might very well change. I asked them to just give themselves time to really get to know each other, as adults, as well as themselves.


I hope that they will both be strong enough to understand that marriage takes a lot of work and sacrifice and is anything but easy. I also hope that he understands that what he is doing is not only breaking her heart but it is putting a wedge between them that is going to be very hard to fix. I am just afraid that he is too young to realize anything before it's too late. She will put up with a lot. She will do her best to work everything out but (just like her mom) when she is done, she's done. I have a lot of hope that this will work out but the reality of it is that it won't. I personally believe that the legal age to marry should be raised to 21. I mean you can't drink alcohol until then, why in the world would getting married before 21 be any different? The drinking age has to do with maturity level, right? So why let an 18 make the decision to make a decision that affects their entire life when they can't even drink a beer while contemplating it? DOesn't make any sense at all to me.Is it true that only 1% of Highschool relationships turn into marriage?
I met my guy in highschool. We were 17. 4 kids later a dog and couple trips to disney. we do ok. ;o) He's my friend for life! We have grown together
it depends on the couple i know one person whos been with his gf since the 7th grade and now there 20 and there still madly in love with each other they went to the same high school too ofcourse
1% is probably generous. Then look at the percentage of how many of those end up in divorce... you're doomed,... DOOMED I tell ye'
i recently got back together with my junior high/high school/some college love after not speaking for 3 years.... you never know what's going to happen, it can work. we are still madly in love.
not evennnn!, its really rare

Fear of using people holds me back from relationships?

What shall I do about this?Fear of using people holds me back from relationships?
Do you mean fear of YOU using people, or, fear of PEOPLE using you? It sounds like you could work on your self esteem. The inexpensive way to develop self worth and confidence is reading and working through self help books. T'is hard work but worth all that effort and pain because you become more developed and happier. Therapy is another option. Good luck : )Fear of using people holds me back from relationships?
Its ok to go slow and this is a healthy fear...to a degree. Relax
Try not to fear being used

Are relationships about finding someone better?

A random girl online told me that's what it's about. I am assuming a guy left her for someone better looking he can get with.Are relationships about finding someone better?
No, not at all, at least for me.


Dates are kind of like auditions, for lack of a better word. You're getting to know them - is this someone I would enjoy spending a lot of time with? Would I show them to my parents? If we got into a big fight, would they be worth going back to? If you meet each other's standards, and there's a spark, you've got a relationship.


Relationships should be a pretty serious comment. The seriousness can depend on your age, but even for young kids, like 11 or 12, it shouldn't be about looking for something better - it should be about wanting to be with that person.

Why do so many people disapprove of interracial relationships?

I don't.

What does it usually mean when a cancerian man says he's not good in relationships?

I agree with the person whos already answered. yeah,it don't really have nothing to do with him being a cancer. although,cancers are going to be as honest as they can about relationships.they themselfs expect more on the honest side when they have anything to do with love relationships etc. when it comes down to it cancers really dont believe in hurting ppl. They care about ppl very much.What does it usually mean when a cancerian man says he's not good in relationships?
It means his lady now looks older than a teenager, which he sees as he needs younger looking Lady so he don't look old.





Don't ask me to make it sound logical- it isn't,that just how he is.








Peace,


Miss Zoe.What does it usually mean when a cancerian man says he's not good in relationships?
It means he doesn't want a relationship with you and that you shouldn't expect much from him.
he doesn't want to be in a relationship.





his star sign has absolutely nothing to do with it.

What are the difficulties of long distance relationships?

Do they ever work? I need to finish school and about a year away from finishing just a few credits because I have to work while I do that. I began when I returned to my childhood home to care for a sick parent who has since passed. 1200 miles away in the place that my heart calls home, a place I will return, I have met one that I care greatly for. I have known him for a while, but I know him differently now and I understand more than most how precious time is. Like Dorothy and that hour glass....time just keeps disappearing. Is a year too long? I am old enough to have children who have children.What are the difficulties of long distance relationships?
sure they work!





My wife and I had a long distance relationship for 2 years (halfway around the world). Now we've been married for nearly 15 years.





It really helps to have a clear end date so you know when you can finally be together. Both parties must be trusting, communicative and committed to the relationship. It isn't easy but if you truly know that this is the right person for you then it is worth it.





Good Luck,What are the difficulties of long distance relationships?
smile... and months later, with lots of communication.... it still works.

I can't tell you they don't work. There are people out there who manage them but every relationship is different and a lot of long distance ones fail. I've dated two girls who didn't live in the same city as me. Each I saw a minimum of twice a month. The first I cheated on, the second cheated on me. The problem I've run into is that 80% of the time you're not participating in your own relationship and even when you are often your partner is not if your schedules don't work out well. Communication fails, and I know everyone who gets into a long distance relationship has ';Excellent communication'; with their mate and they talk every night on the phone but when you don't have to look your mate in the face but twice a month a lot of things that you don't want to talk about don't get talked about, problems go undiscussed and therefore unresolved. It's expensive to make work. Phone bill is huge, buying gas is huge and every time one of you goes to visit the other you're on vacation, you're eating out more, you're doing things out on the town and you're buying things if you forgot to bring them with you. If you can't make it a year appart from one another but it's very much a struggle to make it.
Long distance relationships can be hard because the distance itself is a killer. Seriously if you really care for that person and are willing to make it work regardless of how long the time apart may be you can make it work. This is nothing easy but communication is number one. Keep that alive while away and things should be ok. Oh and stay busy.
My husband worked in an office across the country when I met him (he came home - to where I was at Thanksgiving and we went out at Christmas). We called and emailed for almost a year, till his position changed to the home office. We'll have been married ten years this year. So wait, and be with the one you really love, if that's what your heart is telling you. No use marrying some guy who will end up not being the love you deserve.
i went to that experience to. and it ends in breaked relationship. but here i am have a new bf! you just need to trust each other
well in my opinion is that they dont work for a few reasons such as not knowing if they could being out there cheating or them or ur self lose intrest becuse you forget the way it was when they were there

Hi there. I think we are in the same situation. I've fallen in love with a guy who lives very far away from me. I'm still studying, and I have 2 more years in University. I can't leave my study aside, but I can't stop thinking of him either. What can I do? I'm trying to keep in touch with him day by day by mailing or doing something like that to let him think of me, or else '; out of side, out of mind';. It's really dangerous, and it happens all the time.. Believe me. Yes, that's true. Time is precious, so use it effectively. Send him messages or emails everyday until the day you can see him again to let him think of you and to let him know how much you love and care about him in spite of the long distance. Good luck to you. :)

    but black guys are wankers and only think of sex and money - oh and obviously themselves!





    I am mixed race.





    my mom was white and I got dragged up in Eltham.





    Its tough at times.





    if you wanna date a black girl, it'll take a while but you'll find one and she'll stick by you if you marry her.





    cheat, and she'll kick yo ***.





    but black girls are great in bed!Do you agree or disagree with mixed relationships?
    I can't see any logical reason why mixed race relationships couldn't work out just as well as same race relationships. Now inter-cultural relationships are a different story.
    Working as a Paramedic and as a Nurse in corrections, I've come to the conclusion that marital violence is more common in mixed relationships than in non-mixed ones. I don't have statistics to back it up, but this is what I've seen. Also, the women in these relationships--IN MY OPINION--tend to be hurt worse when battered than when the relationships aren't mixed.


    This isn't a judgment...white men mess up their non-white wives just as badly as anyone else messes up their wives.





    Other than that, I don't see it as my problem.

    Why does everybody blame the Bipolar person for everything that goes wrong for them in relationships?

    We make easy scapegoats......... because we are the ';crazy ones';. My children and boyfriend do not do this.... but my mother has for years....... I finally cut off all contact with her which she blamed on the bipolar too but even my therapist thinks it was the best thing i''ve done in a long time.Why does everybody blame the Bipolar person for everything that goes wrong for them in relationships?
    Bipolar is an abnormal way of thinking and acting, it is often cause for conflicts in relationships - that would not have those conflicts if the person were thinking and acting within a normal range.





    Bipolar is an illness of thought, mood and behavior. Because of their illness, the person does not act reasonably or normal at times.





    It can be very, very stressful trying to live in the same house with a person who has bipolar. This is part of why it is so important for the bipolar person to take their psych meds EVERY DAY, as the meds assist the bipolar person to function closer to normal range.Why does everybody blame the Bipolar person for everything that goes wrong for them in relationships?
    You're obviously just in the wrong relationship. My ex would use that every time we got in a fight, he would turn it into the root of our problems everything from the dishes not getting done to him cheating on me. You need to find yourself someone who will love and respect you for who you are, bipolar and all.


    Go find someone else! This person is just one more stress that you dont need!
    because bipolar people are labeled as crazy people. Its a lot easier to blame things on a 'crazy person' because they are 'crazy'


    and everyone thinks they are in their right mind.... they are wrong!





    people are all ignorant bas tards.
    You should give more information. It's not right to blame a person with bipolar disorder,because they can't help it. the bipolar person should also not blame everything on the ilness if everything goes wrong as well.
    Because we're f--king crazy people, we're the mental defectives of society. They class us as subhuman so we're easy to put the blame on....





    Or it's just driving our partners crazy with our craziness.
    Because it's easier than blaming oneself. And because Americans don't understand Bipolar people, they just think ';AAAAH! CRAZY PERSON!';
    They are usually correct.

    If DNA samples match exactly, they identify an individual. What is the percentage for other relationships?

    For each of the biological classifications, what is the range of DNA matches: parent, sibling, other family, species, genus, family, order, class, phylum?If DNA samples match exactly, they identify an individual. What is the percentage for other relationships?
    The only one of these for which an exact number can be determined is a parental relationship. Due to the way sex cells form and then unite during fertilisation, a child receives one set of chromosomes from each parent, meaning an 50% match to each. Which is actually 50% of the DNA that varies across the population at all, since in reality all human genomes are more than 99% identical to each other! Different alleles of a gene may differ only in one single base pair - see sickle cell anaemia for an example -, so even if you've got two different things from each parent, these ';different'; things might well be 99.9% identical!





    Siblings ON AVERAGE are 50% similar (in terms of that small section of DNA that carries variation, see above), but there is a (very small) chance that they get just the other half of each parent's genome, and they won't be more related genetically than any two members of the population.





    For species? Well, this varies greatly between species, and depends on population size in the past and present, number of more or less isolated populations, time the species has been around, etc etc. Classification into species is not based on genetic distance but other, equally controversial attributes, like the ability to produce fertile offspring.





    As for even larger categories of classification, even distant relatives can be surprisingly similar. However, different organisms don't have the same amount of DNA, so in distantly related creatures it's not very meaningful to check the whole genome, I guess. There are some genes and proteins found in just about every organism - like the protein cytochrome c - which can be used to determine relationships. The surprising thing is that cytochrome c of a mammal - like a horse, or a human - is about 60% identical to that of a plant, and still 40% identical to that of a bacterium... The degree of similarity depends on how mutations affect the functioning of a protein - if they don't make the protein useless, then the genes of a mutant protein are more likely to be passed on, so more mutations are accumulated through generations.

    Relationships betwen England and Pirates during English gold piracy century?

    Pirates were pirates, viewed as criminals and were subject to being hunted down by the Royal Navy, tried and generally hung.





    Privateers were issued with warrants by the Crown, enabling them to legally attack ships of specific Nations, in the British case generally Spanish. Any booty or treasure taken as a result of these 'legal' attacks was split between the Crown and the Captain of the ship involved.


    Henry III of England granted the first Letter of Reprisal in 1243. The precursor of the Letter of Marque, these letters licensed a ship to attack enemy ships without fear of punishment. In exchange, the king received a share of all plunder and increased the size of his navy without having to pay to crew, maintain, or supply them. Originally, ships granted such licenses were called “private men-of-war,” but this was shortened to privateer. In time, the term privateer came to represent the ship, the captain, and the crew.


    Privateering flourished between the 16th and 18th centuries, a time when European countries waged almost constant war against each other. In theory privateers attacked only enemy ships and did so in accordance with the restrictions delineated in their letters of marque. In reality some privateers bent the rules and attacked ships of friendly nations, which constituted acts of piracy.





    Even though privateers possessed licenses giving them permission to plunder enemy merchant ships, the enemy didn’t necessarily agree with the legality of what they did. Spain viewed any such attacks on their ships as acts of piracy, and treated captured privateers accordingly.





    Queen Elizabeth I’s privateers were known as Sea Dogs. The best known of these was Francis Drake, whom she called “her pirate.” His ventures brought her great wealth, and in 1581 she knighted him. Other Sea Dogs included John Hawkins and Thomas Cavendish. Although Sir Walter Raleigh wasn’t a privateer, he did promote them. He used the proceeds garnered from these ventures to fund expeditions to his Virginia colony. Elizabeth, however, deemed privateering of greater import than colonization, which is why Raleigh’s ships didn’t return to Roanoke as planned and why what became of the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery to this day.Relationships betwen England and Pirates during English gold piracy century?
    What is it you actually want to know?





    Your question reads more like a statement at present.Relationships betwen England and Pirates during English gold piracy century?
    In my opinion, the English colonists were pirates pretending to be gentlemen.





    But the sea pirates were upfront about being pirates, and didn't pretend to be anything other than what they were.
    Piracy is a crime. And was. The Royal Navy got after them. Only a few were taken in and like Captain Morgan and a couple of others; made legitimate.
    What era ?No such time.


    However Piracy was illegal and punishable by execution if caught by the Royal Navy.


    We did (as did several nations) employ ';reformed Pirates'; known as Privateers to raid enemy nations shipping ,often rewarding them highly - e.g. Cap`n Morgan was Governor of a certain West Indies island which funnily enough named a Dark Rum after him LOL.
    By ';pirate'; do you mean privateer?

  • How do you feel about inter-racial relationships?

    I think its awesome that different races end up together and then give birth to exotic new ethnicities. eg. hispanic/white, black/asian, white/middle eastern, and all sorts of different exotic combinations.


    Do you agree or do you think races should just stay within their own cultures?How do you feel about inter-racial relationships?
    I'm for inter-racial relationships. I think it's great that two people who come from different races fall in love and be happy together.


    However, here's another point of view. I have a friend of mine who has a Japanese dad and an irish mom. She was raised in Japan, though she had a hard time being bullied at school, especially in the elementary school. Most of the people in Japan are pure Japanese. All her classmates at school were Japanese. In their eyes, she looked so exotic and her classmates picked on her because of her different looks. They treated her as a ';foreigner';. She grew up in Japan, so even though she doesn't look like a pure Japanese, she speaks Japanese as her native language, knows Japanese culture, and she is just same as other Japanese kids. But small Japanese kids found her ';unusual';, ';strange'; and ';different';, and she just felt so lost. Of course, things got better as she got older as adults understand things and don't judge her by her looks.


    Now she lives in the states, a country full of immigrants and mixed culture, with a lot of exotic looking people. I think she feels easier living in the states.





    I hope more and more people will be open to inter-racial relationships anywhere in the world.How do you feel about inter-racial relationships?

    you can date this white woman ;) I LOVE HAWAIIANS AND JAPANESE GUYS!!!!!!! tomboi1234@yahoo.com :) Add me:P
    I'm fine with interacial relationships. My brother(african american) married a german woman and together they have created 3 absolutely georgious children.


    I think that mixed couples always are blessed with beautiful kids.
    I am a 27 year old white married woman. I am married for 4 years to a great black man. We have 1 beautiful mixed son who is 7 years old. my mom and dad had a hard time with it for 1 year but after our son was born they opened their eyes and realized that it was a beautiful thing. yes rasism still exists, i deal with it daily. black woman dont like seeing white girls with black guys and i just except it. interracial marriages and realationships are beautiful.
    I think love is found with anyone that makes you happy. And if it is between the races then so be it. As you mentioned before, the combination for having kids are great.
    Truthfully?? They are all just people! I think you are making a lot out of the combinations. Peeling off the skin we are all just humans. In America today the combination isn't as great a factor as the atmosphere / culture in whch they are raised.


    To your last question, NO.
    I myself have never dated out of my race because I really never had the opportunity, but I think it is absolutely wonderful that people can look past color, culture, etc.. and explore new or different things.
    I think it is fine until children are in the picture because adults do have a choice, the children born of these relationships don't. It might be fine for a child in a big city but in Kentucky, the child would be teased and ridiculed.
    It's all good.
    You can not go through life thinking about what other people think.It all comes down to what makes you happy. Everyone has their own ideas about life.I see nothing wrong with too people being happy together.
    I m fine with it if it makes them happy then why not?
    It was meant to be this way we are all human - races are nothing more than different features -physically and culturally that's all I'm gald we are all diverse -if we looked allthe same and were culturally the same I would have never found the love of my life and gave birth to my beautiful ';Diverse'; daughter she is a mix of White (Norweigan,Holland,French descent (I'm a red head) and of Black (French-Creole,American Indian,and White descent( her daddy)


    She is a georgous two month old with a complexion unlike anything I've ever seen -she is very fair ( some people thinks she is Arabic or hispanic )and has a rosey-plummy tone to her skin (I have pink undertones in my skin -he has red undertones in his) her skin is ver luminous and I always get told how beautiful she is and how pretty her complexion is and she is a very intelligent baby and is already doing thing way ahead of time -!!! We love her and love each other very much and have been together for 4 years he is by far the best relationship i have ever had in my life including friends %26amp; family - He treats me the way I want to be treated and so do I to him -We both value the ';GOLDEN RULE'; bottom line is you should be with who you love and treats you like gold no matter what they look like its all about the person on the inside and that makes them even more beautiful on the outside !!!!
    thats cool..i think when there is chemistry to both of you.it doesnt matter if youre black or white,no race,no country.we're all humans!
    I think if you can find someone you can care for and want to be with it doesn't matter what skin color they are. But you do have to realize some people may have a problem with it, and take the possible consequences into account when you do so.
    I am a product of a cross cultural marriage. Usually, children like us end up a lot prettier or more handsome than our ancestors. I see nothing wrong with intermarriages...I also think it's cool... for as long as the couples can manage their cultural differences.
    Im All for it. We are One Race. What ever floats your boat. Personal Choice. Free Country. ;)
    i think they look wierd. i'm not a racist but i wouldn't want brown kids with frizzy hair and i don't see how a black man would want his kids to cmoe out pink with blue eyes.
    Its the best kind!!! LoL, Im biased, I come from an extremely mixed background. Asian(fillipina), Black(mauritania), Native American(taino), European(french/spanish)...Not everyone will mix though so many traditions will survive. I think thats why so many people are against mixing it up. I dont see why there cant be compromised
    I think is great that different races end up together! people always have someone for them out there, they don't have to be their own race.....I like that Idea, in fact most of my girlfriends were white, (I'm Hispanic) So is actually great seeing different people to choose from....
    I am a black Canadian and I am extremely open-minded when it comes to inter-racial relationships. There is absolutely nothing wrong with different cultures getting together--it's beautiful! Most of my relatives have married interacially and are extremely happy. Don't you think that it is narrow minded if races stayed within their own cultures?
    Its a non-issue really. I've been in such relationships all my life..nothing to talk about. The attraction is more in my opinion.
    Man, I am up for it. We are all one single race which is the human race. Me personally I've been with pretty much Latinas but I have also dated 2 african american girls. Now I am very interested in dating Asian women. I do not discriminate whatsoever. Children who are mixed mexican/african american or mexican/asian are beautiful. I sure would love to have the privilege of dating an Asian woman, especially an East Asian, like a japanese or korean girl.
    I don't think that races should stay and marry only within their cultures. Marrying other races sometimes is a challenge since both have different backgrounds. If their both differences color, culture and background click together then is a total plus.
    NO ONE CAN HELP WHO THEY FALL IN LOVE W/.AND IF A CHILD IS MADE FROM THAT LOVE WOW!THAT IS SO COOL.I PERSONALLY I THINK THAT THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THEN A CHILD WHO IS RAISED IN A LOVING MU TI ETHNIC HOME.
    what's the big deal? Am a divorced dad and asked my daughter one day what she thaught about dad dating a black lady. the answer she gave me blew me away, she said, it is what is on the inside that counts dad.
    I feel its all good whatever makes a person happy!!Love conquers all!!!
    i think that there is that special someone created for all of us and there is no restrictions on creed. if you truly love someone no mstter their heritage there should be no boundries
    i am fine with it. i have been in a inter_racial relationship myself.

    How do you feel about inter-racial relationships?

    I think its awesome that different races end up together and then give birth to exotic new ethnicities. eg. hispanic/white, black/asian, white/middle eastern, and all sorts of different exotic combinations.


    Do you agree or do you think races should just stay within their own cultures?How do you feel about inter-racial relationships?
    I'm for inter-racial relationships. I think it's great that two people who come from different races fall in love and be happy together.


    However, here's another point of view. I have a friend of mine who has a Japanese dad and an irish mom. She was raised in Japan, though she had a hard time being bullied at school, especially in the elementary school. Most of the people in Japan are pure Japanese. All her classmates at school were Japanese. In their eyes, she looked so exotic and her classmates picked on her because of her different looks. They treated her as a ';foreigner';. She grew up in Japan, so even though she doesn't look like a pure Japanese, she speaks Japanese as her native language, knows Japanese culture, and she is just same as other Japanese kids. But small Japanese kids found her ';unusual';, ';strange'; and ';different';, and she just felt so lost. Of course, things got better as she got older as adults understand things and don't judge her by her looks.


    Now she lives in the states, a country full of immigrants and mixed culture, with a lot of exotic looking people. I think she feels easier living in the states.





    I hope more and more people will be open to inter-racial relationships anywhere in the world.How do you feel about inter-racial relationships?
    Thanks for choosing my answer but what a comment you left in the end !! :o

    you can date this white woman ;) I LOVE HAWAIIANS AND JAPANESE GUYS!!!!!!! tomboi1234@yahoo.com :) Add me:P
    I'm fine with interacial relationships. My brother(african american) married a german woman and together they have created 3 absolutely georgious children.


    I think that mixed couples always are blessed with beautiful kids.
    I am a 27 year old white married woman. I am married for 4 years to a great black man. We have 1 beautiful mixed son who is 7 years old. my mom and dad had a hard time with it for 1 year but after our son was born they opened their eyes and realized that it was a beautiful thing. yes rasism still exists, i deal with it daily. black woman dont like seeing white girls with black guys and i just except it. interracial marriages and realationships are beautiful.
    I think love is found with anyone that makes you happy. And if it is between the races then so be it. As you mentioned before, the combination for having kids are great.
    Truthfully?? They are all just people! I think you are making a lot out of the combinations. Peeling off the skin we are all just humans. In America today the combination isn't as great a factor as the atmosphere / culture in whch they are raised.


    To your last question, NO.
    I myself have never dated out of my race because I really never had the opportunity, but I think it is absolutely wonderful that people can look past color, culture, etc.. and explore new or different things.
    I think it is fine until children are in the picture because adults do have a choice, the children born of these relationships don't. It might be fine for a child in a big city but in Kentucky, the child would be teased and ridiculed.
    It's all good.
    You can not go through life thinking about what other people think.It all comes down to what makes you happy. Everyone has their own ideas about life.I see nothing wrong with too people being happy together.
    I m fine with it if it makes them happy then why not?
    It was meant to be this way we are all human - races are nothing more than different features -physically and culturally that's all I'm gald we are all diverse -if we looked allthe same and were culturally the same I would have never found the love of my life and gave birth to my beautiful ';Diverse'; daughter she is a mix of White (Norweigan,Holland,French descent (I'm a red head) and of Black (French-Creole,American Indian,and White descent( her daddy)


    She is a georgous two month old with a complexion unlike anything I've ever seen -she is very fair ( some people thinks she is Arabic or hispanic )and has a rosey-plummy tone to her skin (I have pink undertones in my skin -he has red undertones in his) her skin is ver luminous and I always get told how beautiful she is and how pretty her complexion is and she is a very intelligent baby and is already doing thing way ahead of time -!!! We love her and love each other very much and have been together for 4 years he is by far the best relationship i have ever had in my life including friends %26amp; family - He treats me the way I want to be treated and so do I to him -We both value the ';GOLDEN RULE'; bottom line is you should be with who you love and treats you like gold no matter what they look like its all about the person on the inside and that makes them even more beautiful on the outside !!!!
    thats cool..i think when there is chemistry to both of you.it doesnt matter if youre black or white,no race,no country.we're all humans!
    I think if you can find someone you can care for and want to be with it doesn't matter what skin color they are. But you do have to realize some people may have a problem with it, and take the possible consequences into account when you do so.
    I am a product of a cross cultural marriage. Usually, children like us end up a lot prettier or more handsome than our ancestors. I see nothing wrong with intermarriages...I also think it's cool... for as long as the couples can manage their cultural differences.
    Im All for it. We are One Race. What ever floats your boat. Personal Choice. Free Country. ;)
    i think they look wierd. i'm not a racist but i wouldn't want brown kids with frizzy hair and i don't see how a black man would want his kids to cmoe out pink with blue eyes.
    Its the best kind!!! LoL, Im biased, I come from an extremely mixed background. Asian(fillipina), Black(mauritania), Native American(taino), European(french/spanish)...Not everyone will mix though so many traditions will survive. I think thats why so many people are against mixing it up. I dont see why there cant be compromised

  • On the Sims 2, why do the relationships of resurrected people dissapear?

    For example in Veronaville, Romeo's father and mother were resurrected. On the relationship panel they show as family, but they are not married. For some reason they don't like each other as much as they used to. (Well I don't know how much they used to like each other because they were dead when I got the game.)On the Sims 2, why do the relationships of resurrected people dissapear?
    Because all ties end in death because the character doesn't exist. Call it a programming flaw. :) You could use such things as the inseminator to rectify those pesky little things though. Have fun!

    Relationships: Do you pick up where others left off or pick up what's kicked to the curb

    What is the reason for men to be more habitual cheat's and unfaithfull in relationships?

    Women so most of us think DON'T cheat as often as men!!


    are men better at hiding things than women?


    or do women keep better secrets?What is the reason for men to be more habitual cheat's and unfaithfull in relationships?
    Surely it takes 2 to form an illicit relationship so both are at faultWhat is the reason for men to be more habitual cheat's and unfaithfull in relationships?
    Its a biological thing-





    Men wants to spread their seeds. It's cheap because just one shot, they give away millions and they don't have to hold the burden of bring a child into this world. 9 months and resources to bring them up. This makes it expensive so we tend to choose our sexual partners carefully to weight the cost and benefits. Therefore, Women usually think twice before sleeping with someone.





    Since the invention of condoms, I think things has changed. Women too, are regular cheaters because they are free to do what they feel. However, we can still get pregnant, so we are more likely to think before we act.



    I know many men who were single until thier 60ies and have been sleeping around all of thier live and the one thing they're all on the same page about is that ';it takes two to tango';...


    This being said, I think women keep better secrets, and in this case it's very simple, men generally are stupid about cheating and always open thier big mouth to boast. But a good cheater, man or woman, rarely gets caught.
    Women cheat as often as men.


    The difference is most women are looking for something they are not getting in their relationship and are unhappy.


    Men are just being greedy or looking for an cop out.





    Women are far more devious by nature and better at covering their tracks.


    Men are a bit **** sure and sloppy.





    Either way cheating is wrong.


    :O)
    I can't really go beyond my own experience.





    My wife cheated, and tried to excuse herself for it.





    I never contemplated cheating: better to be a cuckold than a hypocrite.





    When her secrets came out, I got such a lot of drivel from her trying to somehow blame me for cheating.





    My view is that women cheat more, and they hide it better than men.



    its not our fault..its our evil penises..I am telling you the thing has a mind of its own..and its not a one woman kind of thing..and then there is the nuggets..they are just as evil as well..they tell the penis dont worry we wont get caught..and if she doesnt mean any thing to us..it only gets worst if the nuggets are large..sort of like my own nuggets..thanks..I love your pic..see what I mean..we are total pigs..
    I think women cheat as often as men.





    And as far as I can tell, men are just as good at keeping secrets. In fact, I reckon women are more likely to tell their friends if they cheat, whereas men are more likely to keep quiet about it.






    This use to be the case because if you look at history, men have always been the one that strayed and it was excepted.





    Today, woman are just as much the culprits as men.
    Whoa baby you been burned recently, talk to your boyfriend not strangers, or better still sleep with his best friend and tell every1 the friend was better,


    vengeance will be mine says the lady
    Women are proven to be better liars than men but this doesnt mean they cheat as nuch as men. Women are just more commited than some men.
    Well, if men are being unfaithful, they must be being unfaithful with someone, so who is it if is isn't other women?
    its because men don't usually connect being pyhsical with any emotions.. and most women do..
    I think women just keep better secrets. Unless all of these girls they are cheating with are single, there must be quite a few women cheating too.
    higher tesosterone...higher sex drive
    Its called having a penis my dear girl its much easier to zip up then put your pantie hose back on when the partner is at the door ;-)
    when a man has sex with 3 women


    that is a 3 to 1 ratio, so there is more women sleeping around!


    simple
    Something in the water, Me thinks. lol


    Don鈥檛 ever be fooled, women do it more, much more
    Oh god are we not off that yet,women are as bad as men.
    You might find that women cheat as often as men do.
    Deny deny deny, it works!
    Wow, I hope English is not your native language, because I do not understand this question.
    Because man is created to think below the belt with one thing in mind,where as woman feels from the heart and mind.women are better when it comes to keeping secrets than men..
    could be women dont remember their place in life























    only joking
    Could be because thier brains are in thier trousers

    Do Black men treat women better in relationships?

    because I see a lot of white women dating Black men. Do they treat women better, more affectionate, charming? what's their secret?





    Khloe Kardashian married that Black football player after dating for a month, so what did he do to sweep her off her feet?Do Black men treat women better in relationships?
    lol LL, the guy is a black basketball player for the nba champions! i see you don't watch sports. sheesh





    um no, its not cause hes black. and their age of generation and their looks sides more with the black culture than white. and kardashian daughters are not white. quit thinking that. white girls don't have an azz like kim!Do Black men treat women better in relationships?
    First he is not a football player he is a basketball player. And the color of your skin should not matter on how you treat someone the Divorce rate is still 50 %
    Well personally alot of white girls are willing to do whatever a man says, and black men like that. Black girls don't put up with that kind of stuff so to make it easier they go for the white girls. But at the same time that can just be thier preferance. Everyone is different and has different taste. And not all black men treat there girls right, that goes for all men. You just gotta find the right one.
    Color of skin has NOTHING to do with it. He used his charm, sweetness, mind...whatever to get her just how every other guy in the world got his gf. The end
    Black men have no advantage.





    The secrets to winning a woman include:





    Act like you were born with two ears and one mouth. By listening, you make her feel like she is important to you.





    Be a gentleman. (yes, you should open her car door)





    Go out of your way to make her feel special and make her life easier. (don't try to reinvent the wheel, this doesn't have to cost a lot either)





    Make her laugh. Don't underestimate the power of laughter!





    Dress well, be sure your shoes are in good repair and be well-groomed.





    Be confident (not arrogant). Confidence is wildly sexy.





    All of the listed above attributes are lacking in most single men.
    I'm not trying to be racist but some races it is in their genes to be violent generally these races are of a darker skin colour i.e african americans, maoris, samoans, polynesians etc. So you hear alot of stories of 'black' men taking advantage of women, though this isnt true among all of the 'black' people it is occasionally, also alot of women find black men 'hot' it may not be that they are affectionate or charming but just that they are the one.
    I wouldn't say that black men treat white women better in particular, but the result of most black women treating black men poorly has led to a growing interest in other races. I think that black men are a breath of fresh air; a change up if you will, to the monotonous trend of dating the same race. I think that what makes most black guys appealing to white women is our character. Most black guys have a certain demeanor about us that is charming to women(white especially). On another note, I've heard that certain ';physical factors'; tend to draw white women to black men. Some say back men are better in bed, some say they are better equipped in bed, but these are based on what I've been told.
    The obvious. big wing wang


    To be honest, they re great in bed


    they can be charming too and usually confident and most have great bodies


    Thats all women want
    Yes They Really do.. am black so yhea.. they give you way more hugs and kisses they also come up front so they dont hide stuff.. And their not shy to ask u out.. GO THE SEXY BLACK MEN WOOOOH! LOL
    Some a good and other's a crap. Am a black lady guys a good in bed coz they r so hot n ladies loves that.
    it depends on the person not the race.


    maybe khloe karashian just married the black football player because he was nice.
    It always strikes me as funny when someone asks a question about the irresistible charm of the men of some race. I am always positive that the guy asking the question is a member of that ';irresistible'; race trying to do some p.r. work. One is always on thin ice P.C.-wise answering a question like this.





    No, black men do not treat women better in relationships. In fact, while I consider people of any race to be equally capable of any type of behavior, black guys generally seem to treat women significantly worse. None of my black friends grew up with their father. Obviously, all celebrities and guys with fat wallets can attract any physical type of woman they want.





    The stereotype is for black men to be attracted to white women. I don't know about that-- my black friends always dated black women or, in the rare case when they were attracted to a white girl, it was entirely based on her personality. But, I do notice when a black guy is out with a white woman. All of the evidence I have seen (I live in the Midwest) suggested that the black guy was so attracted to white women that he was willing to settle for one for whom he would have very little competition. If the black guy was, in my opinion, a little above average-looking, the white woman was distinctly unattractive. When the black guy was nothing to write home about, the enormous white woman with him was hanging on as though she was afraid that, if she let go, she might accidentally be taken to the pound.
    Because they will either be a rapper or a sports player, either way big $$
    there are black men who only date white women.





    on the other hand sometimes two people meet, click and enjoy a lasting, loving relationship





    there are no rules or patterns.
    Bigger penis usually they treat women bad doesnt go out for all black men i kno alot of black men who treat women right but u can find that for all races to be honest.. dont choose a black man cuz u think he will treat u better just keep looking cuz i kno u dont wanna tell the guy i picked u cuz ur black and i thought u were nice just speaking the truth
    maybe because they have a big d**k
    First thing I thought was ';Mike Tyson';





    So I would say the answer is ';It depends.';





    You cannot decide how a person treats another person in a relationship based on race, it varies greatly from person to person.
    hmmm.. it doesn't matter if they are black or not.. its their personality!
    Some people like attention, and doing something out of the ordinary can get that attention.

    My grandparents aren't open to mixed relationships.How do I tell them I am pregnant by a black man ?

    My sister is the one pregnant. We are half mexican and they are ';white';. They don't agree with mixed relationships. You would think that they should have expected it, but they don't.My grandparents aren't open to mixed relationships.How do I tell them I am pregnant by a black man ?
    You have got nothing to worry about for as long as the father of the child will be there for you, more so when he marrys you. It is you, your life, your child and that's all that really matters. I know for some respect to your folks, they may have had a bad experience with these people and they were holding grudge against them. Honey, it is not healthy. Accept the fact that they will never change their attitude towards colored people. Just move on with your life and new family!





    If you wish to tell them go for it. Do it in a most respectful way. And if they throw craps on you, NEVER fight back. Just leave the room politely and as it is already known to many that BABIES create miracles in people's life. Your folks may even fall in love with the baby right when they see him/her.





    PEACE and good luck!My grandparents aren't open to mixed relationships.How do I tell them I am pregnant by a black man ?
    I prefer that you let your parents explaine that for them , They have more experiance to deal with them
    Don't tell them. Just to see the reaction on thier lily-white, 'I think I'm better than you' faces when your little one is born.
    It took my mother years before she finally open up about my mixed relationship but I just had to sit her down and tell her and that was 6 years ago...Now she comes around and we all do things together and stuff but it takes time for parents/grandparent to realize that if it makes you happy then they are happy but if you can't sit them down write a letter and tell them....I know what your going thru bc my grandparents don't agree with it either and they know about me and my b/f

    tell your sister to get tested for std's.
    Well they should love you for no matter who you are or what you do. They also should realize this is not the 50's-60's anymore and humans are humans no matter what color. They need to except you and your mate and child. What brings more to life than a little one? I am sure they will find joy in your child. If they do not except the mix, then really were they there for you? Unconditonal love.
    She should tell them like this:


    ';Hey guess what? I'm pregnant again, and the father, well, he's black. At least I'm pretty sure. almost all of the guys that COULD be the father are black. The one I think it is is serving life for multiple feloneys. So I think I'll go and have an abortion. Isn't that great?';


    But set up a hidden camera so other people can watch their reaction.


    And, in all seriousness, DO get an abortion.
    that makes no sense at all if you are half mexican...then you are from a mixed relationship...you know your gtrandparents don't have to like who you've chosen to be the father of your child but sooner or later they are gonna have to accept it, that is if they want anything to do with their great grandchildren...obviously they accepted it from your parents, so really what can they do??
    If you are half mexican and half white, it would be near impossible for you to find a great guy with that exact combination, so in their eyes, you would be in a mixed relationship either way, even if you were with a white, or a mexican. Simply tell your grandparents that you are pregnant, and that the father is not of the same race as you, but that your child will grow up being loved, and they can chose to love the child or not. But also inform them that if they make things hard for the child because of this, that they won't be allowed to see the child. Most parents/grandparents though love their children, grandchildren, no matter who the parents are, you might be surprised at how willing they are to accept the new baby. If they aren't, let them know that the child is no less their grandchild than had it been completely white, it still would have had a father from a different family. I wish you and your sister the best!
    ITS AMAZING WHAT A BABY CAN DO TO PREJUDICE. DONT WORRY. THEY LOVE YOU (MAYBE NOT PLEASED WTIH YOUR CHOICES). YOU JUST LOVE THAT BABY AND PRAY THEY CAN DO THE SAME. IT'S A BABY, HOW AWESOME...DONT WORRY BE HAPPY AND THE BEST PARENT A CHILD COULD EVER HAVE. HUGS
    I agree with hunkeydoorey101. Some of my family is prejudiced also. I was the first person to bring a ';white boy'; home (Im mexican also) but bringing a white person home was ';better'; than black. BTW, my parents weren't prejudiced but their bros, sisters and parents were. My aunt who was highly prejudiced against black people had a daughter that was pregnant by a black man. When she had her baby it was amazing how much her attitude changed when she saw her new absolutely beautiful granddaughter. View usually change when a baby is involved. However, even if they don't change your sister shouldn't worry about it. She will at least be able to break that awful chain of racism that unfortunately still exists.





    P.S. When I said bringing a white boy home was ';better'; than black, that was NOT how I or my parents felt, just what my extended family always told me. I don't want anyone to think I have any racist views because I DONT. That's one of my biggest pet peeves.
    break it down to them very gently. they won't take it easily no matter how u say it.try to explain to them that it's ur sister's life so she has to make her own mistakes and learn from them.all u or ur grandparents can do is to support her.hope this helped.

  • Does anyone have any interesting topics about relationships?

    I have a youtube.com talkshow and I need something exotic and inyteresting that'll make people wanna come back for more.


    I give good advice so don't be shy.Does anyone have any interesting topics about relationships?
    A good point is that in-order to have true, fulfilling relationships, we most have a friendship at the center of it. A bond based on honesty, understanding, love (the true process, atleast as good as we do with ourselves). This creates a shared purpose that governs the relationship outside of our own conflictual nature (allows us a balance outside our own individual self-doubt).





    But we have a society thats structure drives us to seek out sexual relationships, financial relationships, and relationships based more on circumstances (because it's based on conquest of sexual and financial matters, our best bet is to take what we get at any given time, not to wait for a better bet, it's just good business), and less on a shared bond based on honest communication to the point of hampering relationships from ever giving us what we truly desire, stability at the least, and loyalty at the most (not just to the ';us'; but also to the individuals own principals). Because of this, the ideal of relationships has turn more and more into a fantasy, and less and less into a reality.





    I cite chinesse proverb.





    ';Friends can make wonderful lovers, but lovers rarly make good friends';





    Point being, relationships are hard to make into good friendships, how does one make the sexy girl they just laid, a good ';friend'; when all she has proven is to be a good ';lay';. But this also pokes fun at a deeper insecured we've had for certain friends we were to ashame to just make a ';lay'; out of.





    But then it also comes down to another point. Were you just curious about interesting topics having to do with sexual ';relationships';, or you looking for interesting topics having to do with our struggle to understand this term ';relationships'; and how it influences our lives?





    Not to cause conflict, but alot has happen just due to the simple misinterpetion of a word, to the point, people get married, have kiddos, get divorce, and realize they never knew what the f it all met.

    Do saggitarius men think about their previous relationships and how often?

    or they just move on even if they truly loved someone?





    i am aquariusDo saggitarius men think about their previous relationships and how often?
    Oh, I definately think they do. I know one, who's happily married to this woman w/ kids, and one day he was really drunk from a party I think, and started talking about how wonderful one of his old girlfriends was and how he still thinks about her. lol I honestly don't think I could ever date the archer.Do saggitarius men think about their previous relationships and how often?
    Im a Sag.well i guess women do and men do also think their previous relationship...


    sometimes when they feel something reminisce or remind them in a sort of place.


    But Sag can totally move on.when they have new relationship.


    But sag also... can be friends with their ex's depends on the sign of his/her ex's. I guess..

    What is your opinion on gay/bisexual relationships and why?

    I support LGBT rights, that is, except for marriages. Marriages are holy and must be done between a man and a woman to actually be a marriage. The federal government has no say about that.





    But relationships are fine, it's who you are, your choice. However, do keep it, ya know, not in public. People don't feel comfortable with heterosexual couples making love in public, much less homosexual couples.What is your opinion on gay/bisexual relationships and why?
    Love is love no matter who you are or who your with. No one should be denied rights because of who they love.What is your opinion on gay/bisexual relationships and why?
    You know, sometimes I wonder if 40 years from now, our children or grandchildren will look back and wonder why the heck gays weren't allowed to marry. Kind of the same way that today's children look back in disbelief that african-americans had to fight so hard to gain their civil rights in the 1960s.





    I'm aware that many people will make the argument that race is something that a person can't help, whereas sexual orientation is a choice. For some reason, I have a hard time believing that. When you think of what kind of struggles GLBT people go through all their lives (for example, getting teased at school, getting alientated from their family, not being able to live openly), does that seem like something someone would choose to do?





    I also think, what if someone told me I had to love and marry a woman (I'm a straight female). Could I hide my attraction for men? Could I deny myself a relationship with a man?





    I used to be supportive of GLBT rights, but felt that marriage should still be between a woman and a man. Now, I'm all for gay marriage.





    Obviously since us straight people do such a good job of preserving the holy sanctity of marriage 50% of the time, we really reserve the right to judge others.
    I think relationships are based on a mutual attraction and if that attraction happens to be same sex that's not their fault.
    Live and let live....people should do what makes them happy.
    I mean it's just like any straight relationship with better sex lol





    Lezzy
    Well, have you ever wondered why two complementary matching pipe fittings or electrical connectors are each labeled ';male'; or ';female,'; the same terms we use to describe complementary matching sex organs?





    We weren't made separate ';male'; and ';female'; for nothing.
    I think gay and bi relationships are totally hot! Especially if the two are really into each other. And gay marriage, all for it. And gay divorce too, if it comes to that.
    I think gay relationships are completley fine, but marriages should stay traditional between a man and a woman, setting an example for children that men and woman get married, but gays should have some sort of bind that makes them feel together in a more secure and formal way.

    Is it OK to have online relationships AND a girlfriend?

    Uuum I am new to this.Is it OK to have online relationships AND a girlfriend?
    That all depends on what you and your girlfriend have decided!Is it OK to have online relationships AND a girlfriend?
    There's no set rules for love. The real question is, are YOU okay with having an online relationship and a real-life girlfriend? To me, being in a relationship means sharing love with one person. Having an online relationship means that there is another person you have feelings for, and that is something that I would consider as emotionally cheating on somebody. However, it is up to you - if you see it as nothing wrong, go for it. Nobody sets the rules but you.
    first of all you need to be careful. the person you are into might not be what you think they are. its very easy for a person to pretend to be someone they are not on the internet.





    second, why would you want an online relationship when you have the real thing?
    that is cheating..it all depends on what you and your girlfriend(s) have agreed to..if they are not informed and okay with it..then its cheating
    fembots are nastay
    well


    i think it is


    its not like your ever going to meet that person that u tlk to online with


    i dont consider it cheating
    no thats cheating.
    Ummm...NO!@!
    no that'd be too childish.
    i think its fine as long as you infrom both of them
    the straight answer is no

    How are three types of symbiotic relationships different? Similar?

    Well, one type of symbiotic relationship occurs between mycorrhizae fungi and plants; in which the fungi exchanges nitrogen and other nutrients for sugar from the plant. Another type of symbiotic relationship occurs between a corn plant and a wasp; in which when a catepillar is eating the leaf of a corn plant, the corn releases a certain hormone detected by wasp's that signal that there is an organism in which the wasp can first kill, and then lay its eggs within. Another prevalent symbiotic relationship occurs between humans, and millions of beneficial microscopic bacteria that live on and within our bodies.


    ===The similarities between them all, is that both parties are benefiting from this relationship...otherwise it would be known as parasitism, where only one organism is benefiting from the relationship......Just to note, there are many examples of symbiotic relationships; I suggest doing a little investigative research and not relying on bored people like me who are randomly answering questions.How are three types of symbiotic relationships different? Similar?
    To start with I should discuss the types of symbiotic relationships. Mutualism is a relationship between two organism in an ecosystem wherein both organisms benefit from each other as exemplified by lichens-a relationship between mutualistic alga and a fungus. The fungus supplies the alga with nutrients needed for photosynthesis while the alga gives the fungus food. Commensalism is a form of relationship wherein one organism is benefited leaving the other one unharmed as depicted by an orchid residing in a tree- the tree offers protection to the orchid but the tree doesn't receive a benefit from the orchid yet is unharmed. The third is predation wherein one organism eats (predator) another (prey) organism. This is exemplified by snake and a rat (I think you know which one is eaten...lol). Another is parasitism, a relationship wherein one organism (parasite) benefits with the expense of another organism (host). A good example is the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides living in human.


    They are all similar in one aspect. That is, this is for the survival of the species.How are three types of symbiotic relationships different? Similar?
    there is Comensilism, parasitism, and mutualism. Commensilism - one organism benefits and the other is unharmed.


    Example: whales and barnacles


    Mutualism: both organisms are helped.


    Example: the clown fish and the sea anemani (my spelling sucks...sorry)


    Parasitism: one organism is helped and the other is harmed.


    Example: Humans and tapeworms.


    They are all similar in the fact that atleast one organism is being helped. Hope this helps

    What are some good songs about relationships that no one thought would last?

    Hey There Delilah


    A thousand miles seems pretty far


    But they've got planes and trains and cars


    I'd walk to you if I had no other way


    Our friends would all make fun of us


    and we'll just laugh along because we know


    That none of them have felt this way


    Delilah I can promise you


    That by the time we get through


    The world will never ever be the same


    And you're to blameWhat are some good songs about relationships that no one thought would last?
    'You're still the one' sang by Shania Twain.





    Quote from the song: ';They said, I bet they'll never make it,but just look at us going on. We're still together still going strong. You're still the one.';
    don't laugh but i loved the jonas brothers first cd It's About Time. Their song ';Please Be Mine'; is really sweet! and i love nick's voice in it!
    I'm not a big country fan (or Shania Twain fan) but her song ';Looks like we made it'; is pretty good...





    Edit: You're Still the One - That's it. Thanks Alyanna

  • Does anyone know of any good books about how to lower your expectations in relationships?

    If the book is for you, which is a safe assumption (unless you are a concerned friend)...a book should not be your answer. YOU should be your answer. A book will not change who you are. You won't change unless YOU like the change...not if the BOOK likes the change.Does anyone know of any good books about how to lower your expectations in relationships?
    NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS you will be sorry for the rest of your life.Does anyone know of any good books about how to lower your expectations in relationships?
    The Bible
    Never lower you standers to make someone else's higher.
    Why would you want to lower your expectations? If being treated with respect, being loved, and cared for above everything is too much, you are looking for the wrong type of guy. They are out there. Don't lower your expectations or you may end up lowering your morals and be treated terribly. Now, if you expect to be overshowered with money, presents and everything material, then you are simply a spoiled brat and should lower your expectations.
    Why do you think it is necessary to lower your expectations in a relationship?

    Do you think there is a relationships between psychology and public relations?

    Of course there is. Both deal with the understanding of people.

    Why are moms so judgemental on relationships their children have?

    everytime I confide in her something she always jumps to reprimand me about whatever I told her instead of just letting me speak..Why are moms so judgemental on relationships their children have?
    Because she loves you. Moms are always the most protective of their kids. She has been through a lot in her own life, whether you know it or not, and wants to protect you from making her mistakes. But she can't. I'm glad you can confide in her.Why are moms so judgemental on relationships their children have?
    shes your mother, she wants to take care of you (parental instinct)





    depending on your age (im guessing under 18)


    she wont want to listen because she don't think your an adult





    so you have to talk like an adult, let her speak first, then you

    How come girls stay in bad relationships they know wont work just....?

    cuz they do love them n want it to work and keep trying and are to scared to give it up n how can they move on or teach themselves to move on ?How come girls stay in bad relationships they know wont work just....?
    Hope! Hope he will be the man they want him to be and not the man he already is! Plus the biggest problem is most relationships is a very simple concept.....A man marries or dates a woman hoping she'll never change; and a woman on the other hand see a man flaws and thinks to herself; he's a good man but if I can change a few things or get him to stop doing this then he'll be perfect! Then a the relationship goes on the man never changes and the woman does change mainly because her man didn't!





    Example: The man may play a lot of games or likes to party; if he was that way before expect him to be that way for ever! Changing a little but not too much! If you fell in love with it then accept it and ask for smaller changes.


    Example: A man finds a woman who he thinks is perfect; she doesn't get mad or doesn't ***** if he hangs with his boys or play his game or parties! Then after she eats the cake or is ready for the next big step then he's not so cute hanging out with his boyz when he should be with her or now he spends too much time gaming or watching football! Now the man needs to realize that being in a relationship is change for him; putting his woman 1st before all others!





    If both man and woman would meet in the middle then things might not be so hard! Plus the big one for me the woman has to be a freak in the sheets! It would be a perfect world! Freaks in the sheets rule! ;)How come girls stay in bad relationships they know wont work just....?
    Yeah, this is a very confusing question for most people, myself included. I think woman stay in relationship because of the fear of change, as well as the inability to move on like you mentioned and I also think it's because they believe that they have the capabilities to change the outcome of the relationship and make it work. I also think they generally have a strong sense of love and respect for their partner which makes it difficult for them to let go and leave them be (They may love them so much) those and many more reasons are why, but it could be anything which makes it so confusing.
    Because there is always somebody ';worse'; out there... Sometimes the current guy doesn't look so bad when you think of it that way.





    But there is always somebody better out there... It is scary to think about all the time you have invested in one person more or less going down the drain and starting anew with another person... That's what makes it easy to stay.





    I know there are a multitude of other reasons.
    Because girls are dumb lol seriously though it's because girls like bad boys, mainly because bad boys have more potential to bring back a mammoth when they go hunting. Though sometimes girls go for smart guys too for the same reason.





    Also girls just love drama, even if they say they don't, secretly they totally get off on it because they have so many spare brain cells just for that purpose. that's why they like romantic dramas. It's an adrenaline rush, a sense of being alive.
    Sometimes it just the fear of change. When you are use to something it can be hard to try something new even if the old is not good for you. The best thing to do is changing your thinking and believe that you can do better than this here... and move on.
    some girls cant because it could be the boy forcing them not to or maybe they like the dude so much and dont see him as nothing else but what they believe he is
    Because they enjoy making the same guy look like a jerk again and again

  • What is your view on interracial relationships? Are they harder?

    BTW i am furious because at first it put this in gay, transgendered, lesbian, and bisexual. What the heck?What is your view on interracial relationships? Are they harder?
    No way, not harder at all. All relationships require work. In interracial relationships we tend to work together when people give us a hard time. We go into the relationship knowing there will be some big differences, so we're less surprised when we find little differences.





    The only way for any relationship to work is if you go into it with a positive perspective and open heart. Skin color is so completely irrelevant in a relationship; it's all about loving the person inside.

    How do you make long distance relationships work?

    We talked alot over text. and i am going to start talking to him online,.How do you make long distance relationships work?
    I've seen it done before, but I've also seen it not work. If y'all like each other, you may as well try it out. Just make sure you're both serious about it.How do you make long distance relationships work?
    Long Distance Relationships require patience, understanding, and knowing that you're not going to see this person for a period of time.
    from wat i've been through,trust is the most important thing!then,being honest!i mean you have to be really open,and faith.i know its hard to be faith if you're on LDR.even its fuckin hard!no doubt.because the magnet is almost everywhere on us.


    GOOD LOCK BABE
    first in any relationship you have to have trust but in a long distance relationship you have to have MEGA TRUST! so thats the key MEGA TRUST!
    You talk on the phone, send letters and love notes, and through it all, you communicate. I've done long distance relationships that last and believe me, its all about communicating.
