One strategy to catch a liar is to tell them certain lies to catch them in lies. For instance, if someone says they were somewhere, then ask them if they heard about the wreck that was there. You are interested in seeing how quickly they respond and their body language. If they seem frightened or lost for words, then they are probably lying.
Why do people bite other people?
In most cases, people don't bite each other. But as little children, biting is often a way to show anger and frustration; children throwing a temper tantrum may try to bite the adult with whom they are upset. But adults who bite other people are rare-- there are little "love bites" which may occur during intense sexual activity, but I assume these are not the kinds of bites you are asking about.
Adults who intentionally bite another person are generally in the midst of a mental illness, or perhaps trying to escape from someone who is arresting them. And there are fictional stories of vampires who bite, but of course these are not real people. Human beings are taught at a young age that biting is not an appropriate way to show anger or frustration; most kids stop biting because they acquire language and are able to express their emotions by using words.
either they are Cannibals or they are human carnivores. GROSS!
Which race has the most caring faithful and loving women?
Race has nothing to do with it, but upbringing and culture does. It seems you're asking because you're looking for a mellow or submissive girl. Poor or patriarchal countries have a far higher percentage of such girls than rich and liberal ones. But if a girl has gone to the trouble of fleeing such a country, she's guaranteed not to be mellow or submissive. Your best bet are deeply religious girls. This does mean no premarital sex, among other things like proper dating. Of course you should be religious too.
In the state of Kerala in South India, you find the most faithful men and women in the world. More than 90% of people there are virgins before marriage. It's a God fearing community.
Some girly things to do are wear dresses, paint nails, pick flowers, garden, do makeup, play with hair, giggle, shop, play music, watch romance movies, read books, play with animals, and smile. Others include baking, weaving, playing piano, and doing ballet.
Here are some additional suggestions from WikiAnswers Contributors:
- You can get your nails done, go shopping, tanning, dancing depending on what type of girl you are tomboy, girly girl or just out for fun but not into malls. If you like doing it and you're a girl it shouldn't matter.
- Wear lace
- Gossip.
- Pick out a cute outfit.
- Get pumped up to songs on your iPod like "Man I Feel Like A Woman".
- Watch a "chick flick" with your friends.
- Wear a sweet bikini.
- Go to the spa.
- Decorate your room
- Read a romance novel, or 100. (but don't get weird ideas)
- Most of this stuff is fun but only if you enjoy it! Get your friends together and you will soon find out how you like to spend your time.
- You can also watch lots of girly movies such as: Mean Girls, Clueless, A Cinderella Story and most of the Hilary Duff Movies. They are all girly
- Remember, SHOP until you drop! Get fake nails, go to the salon at least twice a month, shop at stores like Abercrombie, Aeropostle, Victoria secret
- Become a cheerleader
- Don't let people push your mood down. I know its hard , but TRY!
- Always do your nails.
- Scream if you are near an insect.
- Get others to like you.
- Wear makeup.
- Don't have zits. Eliminate with medication, concealer, or get a face steamer!
Do most women think men who crossdress are repulsive?
I wouldn't say they would be repulsed, but find it very odd. Some women can handle it while others can't. Because a man crossdresses it doesn't always mean he's gay and many times people can get this confused. If you meet someone special, before things get on the serious side please let them know what your "fetish" is. We all have one!
AnswerWho cares if some think it's repulsive? I have been dressing for years and most women are interested once they find out. I think that the way some women take care of their appearance can be repulsive. Like outfits that don't match, clothes that don't fit, and they way some of them wear stupid mens shorts and sweat pants when the are relaxing to going to bed. What is really bad is going out on the town all dressed up looking pretty and sexy and then finding out that their underwear under the oufit is either old, dirty, has holes, or doesnt match! That's so gross. AnswerNo they don't. Most women find it interesting and appealing. Most women don't want to date a gay man, and some don't understand the difference. Things women find repulsive are lying, cheating, poor hygiene, bad breath, rude behaviour, etc. Dressing up is fun and exciting...enjoy your edge! AnswerMost women are unable to understand (then again most CDs are unable to understand themselves) and confuse Crossdressing with gay or transsexual. Since most people want to interpret the Bible to match their beliefs, they read the Old Testament to say 'crossdressing is evil' if you look closer - it's about responsibility and war, not if you wear silk underwear. So if they are used to 'traditional' life and 'traditional' relationships, they generally won't like it. There are a few good women who just go "oh it's just clothes" don't expect to meet many of them.A Different Point of View. I consider myself sexually liberated , however I have always felt cross-dressing was more indicative of schizophrenic tendencies than sexual expression, wth the exception of people that are transitioning into being fully transgendered.
Why do people rock back and forth?
i think that some people rock back and forth because they feel insecure and lonley. maybe if some people tried to comfort them they wouldn't do that anymore! My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 4 years and lived together a year. We just moved in together about a year and a half ago. I remember within the 4 years of us dating he rocked but I never understood it. Sometimes when I was upset with him while we were laying in bed he would rock and I would think he was doing it to make me mad cause I can't stand movement in the bed. I have to lay still. Now that we've moved in together a year ago he rocks every night, when hes thinking or when he's upset. It's very odd to me that he does this and I've read peoples answers about rocking and it is a common thing with people. These stories have really helped me understand what he's going through. I would get mad at him when were watching tv together and he would leave to go rock in the bedroom...but now i know that i can't get mad because it's a problem with him and he cannot help what he does. Thanks everyone. If anyone finds an Answer to why or a clue why... please let me know.
Is a guy nervous or bored if he's avoiding being alone with you?
It's usually because they are shy and nervous. Most guys are shy, but every so often you bump into the too cool, too smooth ones that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. Give me the good old fashion shy guys any time. Here's a little story for you. When I met my second husband (he's almost 4 years younger than me and a country boy, and I was a city girl) he was so nervous when he took me out to an Italian restaurant. I'm very out-going so I joked and talked and he started to relax until the waitress came to ask what bottle of wine we wanted. I knew this poor guy didn't have a huge amount of money at the time and he tried to make everything perfect for me so he asked for two glasses of a certain wine. The waitress scowled and was really rude. She kept standing there, eyes borrowed at him and I touched her arm and said, "Excuse me, but do you have a hearing problem? We only want two glasses of wine on this table because we don't want a full bottle of wine. Do you have a personal problem with this?" She was shocked, apologized and left to get our two glasses of wine. If anything could go wrong that night for my husband-to-be (he was super shy) it did. When we got our spaghetti he dribbled it down his nice white shirt and I just broke out in gales of laughter. After that happened I simply took a few long strands of spaghetti and sucked it in and snapped it back into my mouth and we laughed and laughed (spaghetti sauce ripped across my face). I always feel laughter is the best medicine. From then on while we were dating at the beginning I suggested going to more laid-back places so we could both relax and enjoy each other. Now I have been married to that young man who was so very shy for 34 years and I love him just as much today as I did sitting over that spaghetti and watching it dribble down his shirt. I think that's when I fell in love with him. So, what I am basically saying, start really looking and listening to this young man and you'll know he's shy and feeling awkward if you are paying attention and take it slow and easy, joke around, be laid-back and laugh as much as you can because it's a rip of a journey. Good luck Marcy
Why do some people make disparaging remarks about others?
It's common, especially among people who have a poor self image. They say things like that so that they can feel good about themselves, the problem is, it just doesn't work. People who generally make disparaging remarks about others, usually have a low self-esteem and their only means of release from this image of themselves is to lower the self-esteem of others by opressing them with negative comments, thus up-lifting themsleves. Luckily, if you are the confident one out there, it just won't work.
Please note that this question is not the same as Why do people cheat on their partners.
People normally lie and cheat because the are basically lazy or inept.
The behavior if not controlled when they are young ends up manifesting itself in their adult life. The more successful they are are cheating and lying the more the feel that this the correct way to do things.
They are not satisfied with their current relationship or have very little self-control.
What do you do if someone keeps prank calling you?
Being the target of abusive and threatening phone calls can be distressing.
In most cases the caller will be known to you. Who might bear a grudge against you, however slight? A jilted lover, and ex-partner, a former friend, a sibling, an in-law, an ex-employee, a troublesome neighbour? This type of behaviour is sometimes stimulated by jealousy and envy. Who might be jealous and envious of you? Rejection is a common trigger for stalking behaviour, including malicious telephone calls. If you've recently ditched your partner, he or she is your number one suspect.
When a malicious call is received, don't respond and don't engage. This is important. The objectives of the caller are Power, Control, Domination and Subjugation. Responding with anger or threats satisfy these objectives and are just what the caller wants to hear. He or she knows you won't carry out your threats. In fact the caller wants attention, so any response will meet the caller's objective. You can frustrate the caller by refusing to respond.
The menacing nature of each call is a provocation to get you to respond. You win by not playing. If you respond, say, on the thirtieth call, it teaches the caller that he or she will get a response every thirtieth call, or thereabouts. You can expect another thirty calls, then another thirty, and so on.
If you pick up a call from the nuisance caller, say nothing, put the receiver to one side and leave the room. You will have the satisfaction of knowing you are denying the caller the gratification he or she seeks whilst they run up a large phone bill.
Log every call with as much detail about it as you can. This will give you a pattern of calls which will help to identify who is calling (eg always when x is at work or at home etc). If you choose to listen in - without responding - you may be able to hear background noise which might help to identify the caller. Should matters turn legal it would be possible to cross-reference or match the calls you receive with calls made from their source.
Use a phone that displays the caller's id ; abusive callers often withhold their number but note the information anyway (eg "withheld" or "unavailable") - even this can prove useful later. If the call originates from an employer the caller may not be able to suppress the number.
If you can arrange it, tape record each phone call. This can prove especially useful if the calls are threatening or menacing.
Some telephones have a switch underneath where you can switch off the ringer, eg overnight or when you're asleep or wish to be available. At unsocial hours you can disconnect the phone from the socket.
If nuisance calls become too much to deal with, get a second phone line, only give this number to close relatives and friends (as few as possible and only one at a time) and put an answerphone on the original line with a recording that is not your voice.
Finally, and most importantly...
Talk to the malicious calls department of your telephone company. Most are sympathetic and keen to help telephone customers suffering from repeated misuse of their telephone services.
AnswerCall the police and they can link it back to the person even though it is a private number,or *69 them if it is not a private number
Answer:
You can do either of these things:
- Call the police
- Ignore them
- Put the phone on dial tone and leave it wrapped in a blanket so they cannot ring
- Mute the phone
- Or you could make a communication saying: please please ring me, by reverse pyschology they will not ring you.
-prank call em' back
this just happened to me, the person on the other end didnt say anything, then would hang up after like 5 seconds if i didnt say anything, they have stopped now because i just ignored the calls :) its only because they are bored, have free minutes and have nothing better to do, pathetic really :L
A few people may get fat because they want to or because their significant other wants them to. Some people will tell you that getting fat is fun. This is becoming increasingly common in today's day and age.
Some people get fat because of a hormonal imbalance. Others get fat because of an unhealthy diet. Most people get fat by eating too many high carbohydrate foods, such as refined (processed) carbohydrates, and not getting enough exercise. If you eat healthy foods and do cardio exercise you can lose fat. Fruits such berries, and non starchy vegetables, are much better snack options than refined (processed) carbohydrates.
As you become older, your metabolism slows down. Then you have no alternative but to boost your metabolism by avoiding refined (processed) carbohydrates, limiting even natural carbohydrates, and exercising more.
Refined (processed) carbohydrates are the major cause of obesity. Your body takes in more carbohydrate than it needs. Consuming fewer refined (processed) carbohydrates and burning off more calories through exercise is the way to avoid weight gain, obesity, and other diet related diseases. It is also the way to reverse weight gain, obesity and some diet related diseases.
Because they're lazy and never excersise, and they eat way too many foods with high cholesterol and fried foods.
In the thousands of years that man has survived people who were fatter than others actually survived better than thin people. Today we don't hunt and gather our food and many people use, drink, and eat foods that are wrong for them so they gain weight. We don't need to be fat today, but that DNA is still around and they gain weight.
Why do shy men avoid you if they seem to be attracted to you?
they are too scared of rejection to make the first move
Is laziness considered a type of selfishness?
No. Generally the person that is lazy could be depressed or have a medical problem and don't know it. Most people can get into their lazy modes but most of us keep putting one foot in front of the other, while some just loaf around and just don't have that energy. Anyone who appears lazy should have a complete physical because it could be their thyroid, adrenal gland, etc. Yes, depending on the situation. for example: If a couple of your friends want to go to a concert with you but you say no because you're just lazy and don't feel like going, then yeah it's rather selfish. Unless you have some kind of medical problem that you can use as an excuse, but I highly doubt it. I, being a lazy person myself, probably know more then anyone how selfish being lazy is. Not only do you exclude yourself from fun activities but you also leave your friends disappointed and sometimes angry at your laziness.
What do people wish for the most?
People wish for money, success, health and love. People wish for love the most. They wish for someone to care for them and be there for them. Answer: I think most people wish for money the most. To win millions in a lottery, or discover I have some valuable talent, is what I want most. Then I could try to improve my health and appearance. Then look for a girlfriend.
Why can't some people take a compliment?
Maybe it is because either they don't like you or they don't consider it a complement. Perhaps maybe they have never gotten a compliment before so they don't know how to handle it. For some, it could be that they lack the confidence to simply thank the person.
Sometimes the problem is the person giving the "compliment." Maybe they are insincere and are giving cheap compliments with ulterior motives in mind, like trying to con others into becoming sexual partners. Others can usually feel this and ignore the cheap compliments. You don't have to accept compliments, help, or favors when there are strings attached.
Sometimes those giving "compliments" are being sarcastic or abusive, or they have a good compliment buried under bias language, hate speech, or racism. What sounds like a compliment could actually be a veiled put-down. If a man of one race were to call a woman of another race the cutest member of that race they ever saw, it is not exactly a compliment. It is putting her people down by implying that they are mostly ugly. So leave race out of it. If they are cute, they are cute, period.
- It's simply a myth. Blonds and Brunettes or black-haired people can be just as hot tempered. It started out with the red headed Irish having hot tempers, and the men are known for their brawling, but so are the Aussies for that matter. Scottish can also be hot-headed.
- It isn't a myth. Its because they have red heads and that makes them angry.
Why do some people take everything so seriously?
They're probably one of those people. He or she is a person who doesn't play and can't take jokes. It's OK.
Answersome people take everything seriously because they realy thaught that the other person was serious. some people are taking it seriously on purpose. Some people just want to beat up someone.Is drinking urine good for you?
Drinking Urine Not Recommended, No.
There is no sound medical evidence to support drinking urine. As a point of interest, there are those who do drink their own urine and claim it has health benefits. Additionally, in an emergency situation, it's possible to drink one's urine as a temporary means of holding off dehydration- though this cannot be done indefinitely and certainly is not recommended.
Urine is waste the body doesn't want.
Urine only contains only about 5% of Urea (the actual waste product your body produces) the rest is mainly just water, so it is safe to drink in case of extreme emergencies, and it may have to be forced into you, and you should avoid drinking it anyway.
Cockiness most likely comes from old, old brain traits to enhance the chances of finding a mate, thus enhancing the likelihood of matings which produce young, thus increasing the chances of survival of the species.
You can see attraction behavior in selection of clothes: either attractive to a potential mate, or comfortable, implying stability and succes, which of course are important features for nurturing the family unit, thus increasing the chances of survival of the species.
Although this behavior may come from 'way back in history when having children literally meant survival, in today's society the behavior is not so important. But the old, old brain traits are still there and active.
Guys usually love it when girls play with their hand, kiss them or hug them out of no where. If yall arent going out. You need to show them how cool you are. But don't go to much over the top.. That usually makes guys ill. And yeah. Worked for me. 9 months and 24 days :) Whoo hoo!

Answer from a Christian Perspective:
No It is not wrong or immoral to be a homosexual,HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT AGAINST THE BIBLE!
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, & TRANS-GENDERED PEOPLE ARE LOVED BY GOD AS EVERYONE ELSE, AND THEIR LIVES AND RELATIONSHIPS ARE BLESSED BY GOD JUST AS HETEROSEXUAL'S ARE!
The problem is that many theologians throughout the ages have mistranslated the Bible, using translations of translationsand in the process not recognizing that certain words such as "homosexual" were never in the original Greek or Hebrew texts, but added in later European Protestant translations!
As for the Hebrew scriptures' so called "prohibition" of homosexual acts, in Leviticus: "a man shall not lie with a man as with womankind, that is an abomination." This statement was referring to a specific culture at a specific time, in addition the term 'abomination,' is defined and used drastically different in our modern usage than the way in which it was defined and used 6000 years ago, or even 600 years ago for that matter! In the Hebrew Scriptures an 'abomination' was something that defied a health code.
Nothing More, Nothing Less!
The book of Leviticus is a book made up primarily of codes and regulations, which were created for a specific culture, at a specific time in history. In part, these codes were created as a means for the Hebrews to define themselves from other cultures, but the primary reason for the creation of these codes was due to a lack of knowledge in regards to hygeine. Due to this, certain codes of health were developed and were seen as very important to follow to the exact degree. If broken, it was actually seen as a betrayal of your community, even immoral!
Homosexuality, because of lack of knowledge and understanding was categorized as unclean and thus a break of one of the health codes, thus an 'abomination'. However, eating shell fish, wearing fabric made of two different types of material, or eating meat and dairy in the same sitting were also considered "abominations".
Most of these codes are not followed today because we recognize that they are simply health codes that existed solely for that community during that specific period in Hebraic history.
It's fascinating how most 'conservative'Christians have NO ISSUE with eating shrimp or lobster, or wearing polyester and cotton, or eating steak and mashed potatoes for that matter. Yet when it comes to homosexuality, they start quoting Leviticus!
The Hypocrisy WOULD BE entertaining if it weren't so sad and detrimental to the mental health and welfare of so many gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gendered people!
For Those individual's who are still confused about the Levitical Codes, I'll reiterate; These codes were created primarily for health reasons, and are NOT to be taken as moral codes handed down by the divine to all of humankind for all of time.
Thus, there is NO "SIN" in homosexuality, nor is there any TRULY VALID prohibition of homosexuality in the scriptures.
Jesus himself NEVER ONCE mentions the issue of homosexuality. Jesus speaks in regards to what he deemed to be all major sins, however, he never once spoke on, or even implied anything on the issue of homosexuality. If homosexuality was a sin, Clearly he would have made some concise effort to clarify that to the people.
God Doesn't make mistakes, and God judges people by whats in their heart.
St. Paul said: "neither male nor female, slave nor free, Greek nor Jew, for all are one in Christ Jesus" God doesn't judge people based on their gender, creed, social status, or sexual orientation, he judges based on who you are as an individual!
God's love is unfathomable and beyond our human understanding, but one thing we do know, is that God is among us, wherever there is love, whether that be between a man and a woman, or two women, or two men. Where love is present, so is God. Remember, when asked what were the primary commandments to follow, Jesus stated,
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart all your soul all your mind and all your strength, and love each other, as you love yourselves"
The truth is that Homosexuality is a natural part of the human condition. It has always existed in creation since the beginning of time. God created all people different, some people were created male, some female, some black, some white, some Asian, some Native American, some heterosexual and some homosexual. We are all given different gifts and talents, and we all have a different hand to play at God's table, which we are all welcome at!

Another Answer:
There is nothing wromg with Homosexuality at all, people i believe have negative views towards it due to the history of society and the heavy religious culture that existed in society not that long ago. The main religions are very old and therfore the scriptures of those religions are very old and were most likely written so that they fitted with the society at the time, society has changed alot since then and Homosexuality is being gradually being accepted by society which has started in the Christian world and will most likely spread to the rest of the world, in Africa for example, the laws regarding Homosexuality were made when the European nations colonized the continent and after gaining independance in the 20th century, these countries which are mainly Islamic nations retained the laws as it supported their religious views. Meaning no offense to any religious person here, I think that rwligiouw views need to be reviewed and that laws in these countries should be changed as they shouldn't be based aroung religion anymore. Some religious people will think that this answer is unfair but just as a question to them again meaning no offense, if homosexuality is so wrong then why does it exist? the mental disorder answer cannot be used as it has been proven to not me a mental disorder and further study has shown that biologically there are differences between Homosexual males/ females and Heterosexual males/ females respectively
Probably because he likes you but doesn't want to say so in case you are already taken although some guys are daredevils and like to jump straight in some are just not and most boys expect the girl to make the first move as we are always the ones obsessed with boys.
