Q: one of my best friends, who also happens to be the guy i like is going out with another . Me and his friend don't really get along, and we don't really like each other. He decided to stay with her and he just stopped talking to me. we used to talk everyday, but now we don't talk at all. is he right to chose her over me?

He's ignoring you because she's probably making him.

When they break up, I guarentee things will go back to norma.

please any advice or tips tell me.
anything it doesnt matter. like anything from info about tanning beds to diffrent types of masks or beauty tips. =]
please&&thankyou.

Don't use a rub on self tanner or anything like that. If you're going for that sort of thing, try getting a spray tan, but if it isn't a good one, you're gonna look orange. Tanning beds are your best bet because they give you a natural color.

And disregard the person under me, you don't have to go in naked, you can wear a bathing suit.

Q: 14/f
i have never had sex, but i just think that this is kind of weird.

Why did people wait so long to have sex? like i know the average age is like 16, 17 nowadays, but in the olden days why was it so like freaking sacred haha?

The christians came along and decided to enforce ridiculous rules that nobody seems to follow anymore.

Q: I came onto this site a few weeks ago asking a question about becoming a model and how you have to look.

But, what is beautiful? Someone on this site told me "If your not beautiful, then don't bother"

But what are the criteria for being beautiful?
..

It depends on the type of modelling you plan on doing. If you want to do portraits/headshots/etc. you just need to have a pretty face. Clear skin, proportional features, straight white teeth.

If you want to do more of a runway kind of thing you need to be thin and unique looking.

Q: i just started going out with this guy and were both really shy so things are a bit akward.Can anyone give me some advice on how to make it not as akward or help me to become a little less shy ?

thxs in advance =)

I'll be banned for this, without a doubt...but if you both get a little tipsy you'll be comfortable with each other, and all the times you guys hangout after that will be less akward.

Q: ok my thighs are kinda fat when im standing but when i sit down they get like elephanormous!! they are huge!! my question is how can i get them smaller or skinnier please help me i wanna be a cheerleader next year and it isnt cute wearing a tiny skirt with fat thighs nad how do u get rid of love handles caz that also isnt cute with a tiny shirt!
please help and thanx in advance

I live in Florida and i've found that swimming in a pool for about an hour a day really helps slim down and tone my thighs.

Q: Is it okay to go out for halloween even though you're christian? I want free candy..I'm Christian and I think it's ok but..

I'm not christian, but i'm pretty positive it's fine for you to go out for halloween as long as you don't dress up like a demon or something.

Q: is it just me, or does anyone else think that it would be hilarious for Sanjaya Malakar to win American Idol? I know it's improbable, but each week he escapes elimination I am laughing on my couch...he's just so bad, and in a way i am rooting for him.

A botched american idol seems pretty funny to me even though it's supposed to give someone an opportunity for a career.

american idol needs something else besides the mundane like the past seasons.

maybe it's just me ha.

Have you been to www.votefortheworst.com?

I like blake lewis too much to waste votes for sanjaya though.

Q: I don't understand why it's "dangerous to only eat 500 calories or less per day. I've been doing it for a long time and I feel fine. Like today for instance, I had a small bowl of cheerios with almond milk for breakfast, romaine lettuce salad with Italian dressing for lunch, Jamba Juice, and then sushi for dinner. All in all, I had about 500 calories today. I feel fine and I ate 3 meals anyway. So what's so "dangerous" about it?

Just so you know, jamba juice smoothies are like 400 calories themselves.

Q: f/15/5' 6"/ 124 lbs

i eat a lot of junk foods haha.
if i were to eat:

breakfast: cereal and low fat milk
lunch: an apple, water, and fat free yogurt
snack: water and a grapefruit
dinner: lean meat, broccoli, water

and run for 30 minutes a day

would i see a difference in my body within a couple of months as in losing a small amount of weight and toning my legs?

i want to do it as healthfully as possible

thanks!

Not eating enough carbs. And if you plan on eating that tiny of a lunch you need to add more food to your breakfast meal.

Q: Ok how would I wear my trench coat on of I'm wearing a sweater with a hood? Do I stick the hood out? Leave the hood on underneath the trench coat?

Stick the hood out. If you leave it underneath the coat you'll see a lump. Lumps in clothing are akward.

Q: Hi.. 14/f/120 pounds

How do I get the same type of body as Paris Hilton? I have thigh muscles from soccer and they are big, but I dont really like how they look.. Thanks

Do not eat food, do not drink water, throw up when your stomach is empty, use cocaine, use methamphetamines.

But seriously, you're ridiculous. She was born with a small frame, and being tall helps a bit too.

Q: If you and a guy you like are hanging out at your house, what are some ways you can get him to hold your hand without actually telling him?

Brush your hands against his, say your hands are cold.

Q: Hey. I've recently decided to go vegan. I'm new to all of this and I dont know what to buy in terms of food. I know they do not associate themselves with animal products at all. This is going to be a challenge for me because I like cheese. But for the animals' sake, I'll do it. So can anyone tell me what ingredients in foods, and makeups, etc. etc. I should be looking for. Also, a site that has vegan recepies on it would be a big help as well! Thanks Alot!

I've been vegetarian for about a year, and i'm slowly converting to veganism. The things i've been having a hard time with is bread, pasta, muffins, etc. There's eggs in all of those things. Also, no honey. And no dairy, but i'm sure you already know that.

http://www.veganchef.com/ click recipes.

Also, if you have a WholeFoods grocery store near you, it'll be easy to find everything you need, they have a vegan section.

Q: i dont eat any pork, eggs, ham, beef jerky, ribs, steak, hot dogs, or any of that. i do eat fish tho. and usually i have a burger maybe two times a year. i also eat sandwich turkey maybe once every couple months. does it sound like im a vegetarian?

No, why would it sound like you were a vegetarian? Considering the fact that vegetarians don't eat meat. If you ditch the turkey you could be considered a pesco-vegetarian.

Q: i personally dont see what is so bad about drugs! maruana(sp) and weed and everything. i would never try it because my parents would freak out, but why is it illegal? all it really does is make you high, which is exactly what alchahol does! if drugs are illegal, alchahol should be aalso!w/ what is the difference? someone please explain to me and why drugs are so bad?

Okay first of all...marijuana and weed are the same thing.

Q: i know they're both bad, but which ones worse?

-estacy, or weed?

Uh, ecstasy of course. It's full of chemicals, not to mention causes severe dehydration.

Weed is all natural, with no chemicals.

Q: just curious..my friend asked me how to reduce the redness in her eyes when shes high so her parents cant find out..like certain things she can use?
