So, I was looking through some hair styling websites and thinking about getting my hair cut. My only problem is some of the styles list a specific face type the hair looks best on (like heart shaped, round, oval). I don't want to pick a hairstyle that doesn't suite me, you know?
How do you know what shape your face is?
look at it in the mirror, if its long with a slight jawline, oval
if its short with a squared off jawline, round
if its somewhere in the middle and depending on how slight your jawline, heart shaped.
ask your mom.

Some people i feel so sorry for, but i know that i can not spill my guts.. i try adn try but i still don't know. i have lately been getting some really weird ones that i am so scared to answer but i want to help. please help me figure out a way to put mean stuff nicely.
read my column. I dunno if I can describe it properly. Its generally easy for me though, and I'm sure if you care enough about it, you'll pick it up quick. the trick really, is to use proper english and remain totally calm in tone. try to eliminate as much vulgarity as you can, it gives your emotions away, and do check your grammar and spelling, it helps if you sound as close to an english professor as possible. pick up a thesaurus, and try to make your sentences have a pattern that flows. complex words help, for example: instead of calling somebody a bitch, use words like Harpy(stupid flying mouthy bitch) or shrew (small venomous bitch). add spices, flavor to taste.
works for me.

I just started talking to this guy. I really like him and I think he likes me. We're hanging out again tomorrow. I know what guys can tell girls that make them feel good.. but what do guys like to hear?
nothing. I personally hate compliments, they make me look inwards and flag all the occasions when the statement was not true. though I am partial to "cute ass, soldier boy". but thats probably because its not a personality trait. girls have long nails for a reason, neck and back scratches are the best compliment I can take. general compliments about strength, having him open your beer bottles, jelly jars, etc. will go a long way, because that is manly, and most dudes aspire to be ALL THAT IS MAN!

I just started hanging out with this guy. I like him a lot and I think he likes me. I was wondering what guys notice about a girl.. I know everyone's different. But what do guys like and not like?
I must politely disagree with jamba on that, as far as looks, eyes are extremely important to me, but I guess its all in taste. wow, that just screams hannibal lecter..
anyways, its usually in this order: hair, eyes, general body shape, legs, ass, breasts. thats how it works for me. toes come later. if a chick has grody feet, for some reason I'm completely repulsed. so if you're apt to wear sandals, take some time out of your day when you get a chance to run over them with a hose, besides that it cools your body down, and summer shall be on us soon. just don't overdo it, modesty is still considered a value, and I always see a chick that KNOWS she's hot as being an arrogant shrew.
enjoy.

i have been with this boy for two years now. and when we first got together everything was perfect, never argued, had fun, and enjoyed are time together. but now two years down the line we; bicker, sit around, && our fun is watching movies.
its hard to explain but its getting kinda old doing nothing. even the sex isnt like it used to be. i still love him with everything i have and its hard to just throw 2 years of your life away. but am i getting bored of being with him? is this normal? is there anything i can do to prevent leaving him?
thanks,
18-female
it happens. try to liven things up to break the routine. go on some random vacation(within your budget of course), make the trip an adventure if you can. you could also think of random things to improve your sex life along the same lines, find something thats seemingly "risky" or "wierd" thats still acceptable to the both of you, like roleplay..... one really good one is to have the guy dress up in a goofy ass leiderhosen costume, and pretend to be an american tourist who's trying to speak german and ask for directions, and the chick wears a nice Oktoberfest dress, with a little more racy cut to it of course, and takes the part of a seductive german girl intent on getting the tourist to bed.... I love that one. you could also dress up in a gestapo uniform and tie him to a chair pretending to interrogate him( "we have ways of making you talk" comes to mind). that was fun too. plus, it opens up your whole day for inside jokes with accents. and thats a really important feature of this master plan.
enjoy!

Hey, thanks for your reponse again. It's pretty cool hearing your experiences, we're all the way on the other side of the world, we get absolutely nothing. Haha, i'll stop bugging you with these questions now, you have many other things to do. If you have any stories or anything, don't hesistate to post them, =). Have a safe trip back home, and good luck with the army, and the decisions you make with your life. Thank you for giving me some insight in our life. You're the people who i dream of becoming one day. If i ever grow up to become even HALF as strong or determined as you, my life has been well lived.
not a problem, thanks for asking.

Thank you for taking the time to write the long response for my question. I really appreciated hearing a first hand account on the war. You know, before reading your response, i had a totally different view on the soldiers fighting over there. What the media shows us citizens, and what actually happens there is VERY different. I honestly thought you all had adequate food and shelter 24/7, which i assume is wrong according to you talking about eating crickets by the border. I had many other assumptions which were all proven wrong, I'm glad i finally got a more accurate vision of what you guys go through. What interested me from your response is when you told me about you shooting the taliban, and watching them dance in fire. You clearly enjoyed that, thats something i can't understand. Developing such a hate so strong, thats unbelieveable. I understand why you all would develop hate like that, but it really sucks that it exists in the world. Its just something you gotta deal with. Do you think this war will be over soon? Do you think that this war is even necessary, despite all the lives we're losing? I can't understand what it is like for your family, they must be so strong to deal with this. It's true what you say, people have say that they support you, but they have no idea what it's like for your family, and most of them don't give a damn. That's the sad part of our society today. The greatest generation, those who risked their lives in WW1 and WW2 have mostly all died, they were the real heroes, as are you guys. You put others before yourselves, and display extreme acts of courage and strength, you have my upmost respect. I have never respected anyone (other then my parents) more then i have respected you all. It saddens me that people spend more time focusing on celebrity news, AMERICAN IDOL RESULTS, and other unneccsary shit, rather then focusing on what actually matters in the world, and the dangerous work that you soldiers do everyday. I just want you to know that you all are in my blessings everyday, and i greatly appreciate the work you do, and the struggles you go through. Regular citizens these days are PATHETIC, their so LAZY. People back in WW2 and WW1 times jumped to the chance to honour their country and friends, but people these days don't give two shits. I've also seen rows and rows of thousands of people here in Canada, who watch a fallen soldier come home, makes me cry everytime. That's great your finally going home and get to see your family, tell me how that goes. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and answering. =)
yeah, all those things about supplies, that happens in iraq. my Fob and Combat outpost were the furthest outposts in afghanistan from our main bases. I've lived under a piece of plywood leaned against a wall for a two week stretch eating, well, food that would literally kill any normal american because of how rotten it was. you get used to it. as for our hatred, its well founded, the sheer ferocity of our enemies has to be met in kind, in my sector, the kid gloves the american people make us wear were off, and the brass knuckles were on. it doesn't mean I hate the afghans, we tried our damndest to help them, and they helped us find the bad guys. partly because of the suicide bombs that killed a some of our locals, including a bunch of kids. that was brutal to deal with. Americans grow up in a bubble for the most part. the world is brutal and unforgiving as a rule, america and europe are the exception. There's no question in my mind that OEF is the right thing to do, but its going to take years to end this war, fighting a counterinsurgency is long and drawn out anyways, and Afghanistan is the perfect terrain for a classic insurgency. right now we have nowhere near enough people on the ground to secure the population, its just too scattered, so we just pile our troops on the eastern side of the country and try to shield the rest of it so that aid workers can do their thing. my battalion sector was 18,000 square kilometers, covered by six hundred soldiers. thats ridiculous, my troop sector alone was the size of delaware. I give it about a another decade.
I was kinda wondering why you were using british spelling for a bit, that explains things. your soldiers down in helmand fight like tigers, I've seen them and the british Para in action, and its impressive. The problem is that their rules of engagement won't allow them to attack, or even return fire, without the permission of a Colonel or higher. they're totally hamstrung by their governments and its sick. luckily most of them say to hell with ROE when they make contact. But at least they always call us triggerhappy americans in when they need our relatively lax rules to assault a taliban stronghold. NATO is still strong out on the battlefield, but its like the rest of things, weak on the home front.
anyways, I gotta get to work.

I'm a guy with a playboy bunny tattoo on my arm. I was stupid and got it on a whim and wish I had never done it now. I'm not a player, and was never into playboy mag. Removal is not an option ($$$).
Anyway, when I meet somebody and we go on our first, 2nd or 3rd date, at some point I need to reveal my tattoo, since she'll see it a somepoint and I'd rather not surprise her.
When I go out wearing a tank or even a short sleeve shirt, I've never had any success meeting girls, as they tend to be repulsed by my bunny because of first impressions.
It's awkward and embarassing, so what would be the best way to tell her on a date, or respond on a bad first impression when my bunny is showing ?

dude, bring it up in conversation as one of those "stupid mistake" stories. like " hey, can you believe I won a bet by doing this?!". you don't have to get it removed, just change some shit on it, especially if its pink, put a helmet on it, add arms and legs, and have him spraying shit down with a machine gun. if you do it right, it will look hardcore as hell. call it the rambobunny.

what are you guys opinions on someone getting drunk to lose there virginity. because im thinking about doing that cause im scared its really going to hurt. and i dont want to have to deal with the pain. and by the way im 16 female. thankyou in advancee
holy shit, its every sixteen year old boy's dream! don't do it. if you go fucking around when you're drunk, its not a good reputation. deal with it, you're going to be inexperienced, and not really inclined to using birth control. thats something you don't want to wake up to the next day, pregnant and not knowing who did it. go find a nice boy, and have sex with him while you're sober. deal with a little pain, or live on welfare with a kid you're not ready for and a rep as the school drunk slut. your choice, your life.

Hello, all. This is "LagunaBabe," and I'm in need of a little help here. I have been laying out every other day, trying to get a good tan, and for some reason, it's just not getting me tan fast enough, or well enough, for my liking. I am using Hawaian Tropic tanning spray, which is one of the best, but I may not be laying out long enough, etc.
Do you have any tips, tricks or suggestions for getting a real tan laying out?
hey, just spend a lot of time outside with some SPF 30 on, the more you doodle around waiting for the perfect tan the less the results will seem. spend a day out in the sun with shorts and a tank top on. I'd have a damn good tan after a few days out on the pier, then again, it depends where you live. and by the way, when a girl's been baked orange, its not hot.

It never fails, everyday I spend the day with myself. I have a couple of friends, but none that go to parties or do anything fun. It seems like everyone else is having an exciting summer with friends chilling by the pool or going to parties but I spend every night in my room watching Friends on tv. Ironic.
I don't want to just invite myself places, but somewhere I lost the old, fun me that used to have a ton of friends. Now, everyones grouped off and I've just been left behind. Getting invited to hang out in a tight group of friends has been the hardest thing. Any advice to make my summer NOT suck so bad?
its not ironic.
anyways, best I can tell you is just to go do random shit, run into people, make friends. you won't get anywhere sitting at home. I've had many summers like that, so I just spent most of my time at the fishing pier meeting people and catching fish. dual purpose, I made friends, and caught dinner.

okay, so i've been with my boyfriend for 5 months now. we've tried to have sex a couple of times but we can never seem to get it in. i end up getting frustrated only show it and give up. i really want to share this experience with him - is there a way to get his penis inside of me easier? we've already tried fingering.
he claims it was in before when i was on top - but i didn't feel anything. is it supposed to hurt?
thanks!
ahh, the ultimate frustration, the tight trainwreck. you need to relax, its your muscles contracting. thats the usual cause of your problem. just try to have some fun, and see what happens. my tanker buddy dan had the same problem with his german girlfriend a few years back, they figured it out with a language barrier, so you guys shouldn't have as much trouble. just don't expect it to be amazing when you finally do. its a bit of a letdown.
[view]
So I gave my boyfriend a blow job, but I'm pretty sure i only let him pre-cum but I'm not positive because i definantly swallowed something. But I heard pre-cum is just a little bit of fluid so I'm not sure. So my question is, do guys usually care if you didn't go full out? or are guys just happy there getting action?
oh and hes gotten head before but the girl couldn't make him cum.
to me, its foreplay. something to check off before actually having sex, now what you're going for is just that, which is okay. if you swallowed something, he probably came. the whole deal with "pre-cum" is its the advon party making sure the way's clear for the main body. and there's not much of it, so my conclusion is yes, or if not, you brought him pretty close. I'm not a big fan of kissing a girl with penis-breath, so I'm not much of an expert in the matter, I just know how it works because I get a lot of range time.

hi all. i am 20m amd is currently trying to loose some weight. but i like beanut butter in my daily routine with sandwiches(brown bread). now some people say that its not very fatty in nature but some say that natural peanut butter is actually goo fat but the processed ones which we get in jars is bad. please help my confused situation. and if you think that packed ones are bad but natural ones are good then please tell me and also tell me what is exactly natural peanut butter and how is it made. and if it is way too fatyy in nature then please do tell me so too so i shoul omit it from my diet for a few weeks.
please help friends.
its a start. the most important parts to losing weight, are proper hydration, diet, and excercise. if you're dehydrated, you're going to store fat, so drink lots of water, even when you're not thirsty, you should have to piss every two to three hours, and make sure its clear. try eating six times a day, small portions, it will speed up your metabolism. and if the bread's whole grain, it will make your body work harder to digest. Cardiovascular excercises will burn fat, so pick up running, or get on a bike.

Hey,
i came across your page while browsing through pages, and i noticed that you serve in the military. From a young age, i have always been really interested in soldiers and the work they do. I met a WW2 vetern and a holocaust survivor, but surprisingly i have never talked to anyone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan. I just wanted to know what it is like serving in the military. How does it feel knowing your risking your life for other citizens in your country? How do you cope with the major shift in society and atmosphere? How does it feel killing other people whom you don't know? Have you changed as a person? Do you think kids these days do not honour fallen soldiers as much as they should? If you have time, whenever your free, please tell me a bit about your life. Thank you for reading.
(16/f)
oooh. fun.
serving in the military sucks, I hate how stupid it gets, but at the same time I'm proud of what I've done, my unit, and our ability to fight and win every battle with our hands tied behind our backs. being stationed over here in germany is awesome, I've been all over europe in the past four years, but its a double edged sword. I rarely see my family and friends, and all I know of whats going on in the states is from the TV and the fifteen day leaves I get to take every six months or so. to be honest with you, I'm not risking my life for them, we're over there for them, but when it comes down to it, I'm doing it for the guys in my unit, they're risking their hides for me too, and I hate my enemy, its like fighting the japanese, you never let them take prisoners, the fight is a lot more vicious and personal than americans can ever know, they'll torture and murder our guys if they get ahold of them, and they've tried dragging american bodies off, but we stop them at all costs.
As far as the society, yeah, its cool that people support us, but not supporting our mission is a slap in the face. we are there to save lives, and we've done an awesome job at it. its like drawing fire, america sends us out to soak up and kill these crazies that are coming out of the woodwork so that they're too preoccupied with us to attack america. the shift has been ridiculous, the media(as if they don't get harped on already) is a sham, back when I was a little kid, you could trust tom brokaw and peter jennings to give it to you straight, then these 24 hour news networks came out and it went to hell from there. its like watching an opinion editorial, and its helped to drive americans further into this new consumer capitalism, making the real american a scarce resource as the country turns into a society of entitlement, fashion, and general sissies. Killing is a little on the crazy side, it goes against every moral bearing. but it has to be done. At the time, you're hopped up on adrenaline, running on your training and more base instincts, you're firing at targets, the goal is to eliminate those targets, and until they scream and thrash around when you hit them, you barely realize they're human. one incident back in march 08, we got attacked with 107mm rockets and took a casualty. we fired a ten round barrage of white phosphorus mortars at the launch site, and laughed as the four taliban ran around on fire. I live with it quite well, its watching my own guys getting killed that fucks me up. heard a great story about an airline steward asking if anybody could name a medal of honor recipient from the war (there are five), offering free drinks if anybody could. only one person could name SFC Paul smith, third Infantry Division. none of the other four. when she asked who could name an american idol winner, nearly every hand went up. thats wrong. The american military is at war, not the american people, and we've done a great job of keeping it that way. I got several letters from elementary school students in care packages, I used to keep them in my body armor, tucked in front of the forward hard SAPI plate, those kids don't even know me. I got so many care packages over that deployment I couldn't use it all, my hooch was so full of candy and beef jerky that I barely had room for my gear. It gets to be a little much, I'm happy with just getting letters from people, when I was out of food and water, eating crickets and collecting dew near the PAK border, I didn't care, I knew I'd survive starvation for two weeks or more. reading letters from kids, old war vets, that was what kept me in the fight. Its those people that use me as a point in a political argument that piss me off, they don't give a damn about us, they're just trying to win a petty debate by using "I support our troops, and thats why I'm right" no, those people are dirtbags, they have no Idea what its like for my mom and pop, waking up at night wondering if I'm alive or dead. its horrible finding out that your mom had a nervous breakdown and had to be admitted to the hospital because of you. what I do is hard and worthwhile, but my family's the ones paying the sacrifice, waiting for the knock on the door and the letter from Bob Gates. America honors her dead, I've seen an entire town lined up on a road watching their son come home for the last time, people who don't even know the kid waving flags, the VFW lined up saluting, and the Bikers providing escort. its moving.
I'm getting ready to go back soon, still haven't told my family, I'm going to fly home next month to tell them in person, I was supposed to go home for good in october, but it doesn't matter whether I come home now, or two years down the road, I know I'll get there eventually.
thanks

there's this guy that ive been in love with since the first day i met him back in 9th grade. im now a senior but me and him havent really talked this year. me and him were best friends in 10th grade but i hooked him up with my ex best friend because she liked him and i wanted him to be happy. he stopped talking to me when they got more serious because she saw me as a threat. when they broke up he came running back and me and him became even more close. he meant the world to me and he still does. i thought that our friendship was going to last forever. but usually when things seem to good to be true they usually are and once again i was proven right. i went on vacation for about 3 months and during that time he found a girlfriend. now the weird thing about the girls he's dated since me and him had been best friends was that they both were exactally like me..well when he started dating her he stopped talking to me again and now we're compeltly not talking. and it breaks my heart because i just want him back. i want our friendship to be like what it used to be. i kno that im probly not going to get him back though because they are "official" now. and with him he's a very loyal person. i just dont know what to do anymore because almost everyday i wish that he would come back into my life. =( i still love him and he's still the guy that means the world to me. it's just hard to watch the one person you love, loving someone else when really it should be you that they're loving.
great, try to run into him at some point and ask if he wants to hang out some time, though you probably refrain from any 1 on 1 activities, that might set off alarm bells. I suggest a group event, like a football game or something similar.

I have this friend that I've known since the start of this school year. We've been great friends and we used to always talk.. Until the melodrama at my school. He was the director, an I got a part. But due to random events during it, he completely drew back socially from my friends and me. I don't know what to do. I've asked him several times if he's mad at me, and he answers no... although he never stays within the same room as me or my friends. I don't know what to do. I've tried talking to him about it, but he just cuts the conversation short and leaves.
he probably has shit to do, or he found out something about you that he did not like. try to find out if he's hanging around with any of your rivals and or enemies.

Okay so I have a lot of guy friends and they all love talking to me. I have a crush on a few of them, and I'm pretty sure they like me at least a little bit. But there's always some girl who is hotter than me, or cooler than me that they like more. How can I make myself sexier? What do guys consider hot?
I concur with laguna; highly aggressive girls are awesome too. but never discount looking drop dead gorgeous as an option. we dudes love shiny things, like magpies. so try going a little on the classy side with skirts and dresses. oh and by the way, sun dresses excite everybody, they're retro, and generally match long hair perfectly, though I have seen some girls with short hair that rock the hell out of a sun dress. depends on the girl. simple small woven straw purses and hair curlers are cheap, but awesome accessories for the sundress. I hope you're getting the message about sun dresses....... sandals and pedicures wont hurt either... I'm going to stop now.
