About the listening: at least up here it is the women who complain that men never listen. Of course, IMO both sexes have some catching up to do in that respect. Like not talking to the "other half" as if she/he was of the same sex as you. Because: no matter _what_ certain "experts" (eg. feminists) have written there is a marked difference in the style of communication between a male and a female.
The other problem is that women are experts in psychological warfare and unless you happen to have a pretty intact self-respect (I don't have) there's bound to be trouble...

You sound pretty scarred from experience Mojarn?
Also, our college network is rather secure and strick, if you go on an offensive website by accident or hack the network, or even play games, they block you for a period of time...not good when you have work to do and you press a wrong link or access the wrong drive by accident! |
The college network here is pretty liberal. as long as your not doing anything illegal pretty much anything goes as long as it doesn't take up to much bandwidth or damage the integrity of the network. Your not watched too closely. They even have a dedicated game server in the basement (those Hooray Henries are useful for something other that the occasional better quality bottle of wine).

Hi!
Xavi, its no question that confidence in your partner is paramount. The reason some relationships flounder is that they view each other as adversaries instead of "partner".

Hi!
In regards to women and psychological warfare, they are not so much good at it as they are in exploiting social mores that still picture women as the "weak sex" (and dont think feminism has changed this one bit!) they can attack you in this manner and feel suffiently asured that retaliation will not be forthcoming, since it is not socially acceptable to mistreat women psychologically. Its a double standard as so many others that exist in our socities.
Personally I have kept myself free of this standard, if you attack me, be you man, woman or child, you better be ready for the counterstrike. I dont pull punches because of gender. I have found that my relationships with the opposite sex stable, since they know "i'll bite" if they cross the line. Mind you not all women can handle this, but in my view the ones who can are the only ones worthy for a lengthy relationship.
While I am not religious I fully obey and apply the golden rule:
"do unto others what you'd like they'd do to you"
IMO respect knows no gender.

That is the appendix in fine print to the golden rule. Some people do deserve it....

LOL!!! So funny yet so true!!
I think we need to compile these rules of life, just for reference purposes!
We should call it "Primarchs Meaning Of Life" Or something along those lines...(I know its a play on Monty Python...)
Cheers
Chris

Well, in the meaning of life there is a nice Battle Building Gothic sketch. LOL. We will have to search for a correspondence with 40k in the holy grail. "And in the month of December the bad game creators were eaten and everybody rejoyced", perhaps?
Now, who starts compiling the primarchload of quotes we need to make the Meaning of Life?
Cheers,
Xavi

Indeed, but a fun time will be had by all as we try and think up silly quotes that tell us the meaning of life..
We could just save a lot of time and agree the answer is 42.
Cheers
Chris
