For guys only...
What traits, looks, etc do you like in a girl? (link)
I'm a 22 year old guy. Physically I like the eyes the best, but of course the back end and breast are great as well.
Personality wise though it's so attractive if a girl is driven, and smart. Don't be extremely outspoken cause it might come across as kinda "bitchy", but it's so nice to meet girls that say what they want. Don't be a pushover though either.

The number one thing that is SUPER unattractive is if a girl is a hoe, and has slept with over 10 guys and made out with about 100.

Honestly it's cliche but to be yourself is the best thing to do. That way when you find a guy that likes you for that you can don't have to work to look or act a certain way.
Don't worry about it too much the odds are amazingly good that there are at least a handful of guys that like you already the way you are.


18 - female. this may be long but i'll return the favor to anyone with advice!:)

so i've liked this kid joe for a long time. i've never officially told him i liked him but we have fun together, we flirt all the time and we always have fun when we're together but i'm not sure if he likes me more than a friend or not?? he acts like it but doesn't put any moves on me. he is friends with my cousin jake, it's actually his neighbor and jakes other cousin sammy (other side of fam) has the biggest crush on joe and i don't know whats up with her and joe. when its me, my cousin jake, joe and sammy .. joe and sam like always seclude themselves and will go downstairs or something. but sam has only kissed one guy before and joes not a virgin and i know they havent done anything but it still annoys me. i get SO jealous and i dont know if thats what joe wants or what but i HATE it. like sammy will whine and bit*h about everyhing to get attention and sometimes i just want to punch her in the face haha. like tonight we were all at jakes watching the football game with his family and their friends and before joe came over sammy went down by herself to "take a nap" and then joe came over and was talking to me and then went downstairs to show sammy something on the computer and never came up. its just awkward because i'm not going to throw myself at him and fight for his attention with sammy so i act like it doesnt bug me and like i dont even notice.

a couple months ago i did say something to joe about it and asked if he liked sammy because how he acts and he had said that they are just friends and that if he liked her they would have already been dating and he was like your jealous arent you? and i was like noooo why would i be? (i lied.) i think it might be sammy though throwing herself at him because tonight i had to go downstairs and joe was sitting on the couch doing his homework and sammy was like laying her head on him in a blanket and i was like what the heck?? and when joe came upstairs to eat she came up a little bit after, its like she follows him. i just dont know if its her or him tooo.

but then i was like in the bathroom washing my hands and i had on a short tank top and like short shorts and he came in and he was like i have to go to the bathroom .. and i was like so go .. i wont look at you haha so he closed the door and went and then was like staring at me the whole time like checking me out ;) me and joe are both big flirts, not going to lie but it just seems like different with him and sammy and what am i suppose to do when they like seclude themselves?? i cant stop thinking about it when im upstairs with everyone and its just them two downstairs i get SO jealous and i dont want to go down there and like interrupt that would just be awkward and i feel like joe would be like wow she is jealous and trying to see what we're doing blah blah.

joe was really serious though because i wouldnt give it up about sammy when i asked him about her a couple months ago and he was like cant i have girl friends?? but they seem like more than that...

ahhh i dont know what to do! if its just me jake and joe me and joe will flirt allll the time, like really physical and we havent done anything either but dang sometimes i just want to jump on him haha. do you think i have to be more out there?? am i doing something wrong?? i dont know what to do... (link)
haha wow!!
Summarize your question into 1 paragraph, and then I will answer it...


lately, no matter how early i go to bed, i dread the next seven hours of school. i really need some type of energy drink - i tried monster, which isn't even healthy, and i crashed fifth period when i took it second (just a few hours).
my dad agreed that I can get an energy drink as long as it's healthy & well, affordable haha.
any helpp? (link)
You should drink coffee. I'm a firm believer that everyone likes coffee if they make it the right way. I used to drink about 3-4 energy drinks, and I felt like crap so I switched to coffee. If you really hate the taste just take a few espresso shots before school, and you'll feel a nice buzz.
-Cheers


I really like this guy but he has no idea who I am. My best guy friend is BFFs with him and he told him that I liked him by name. But he didn't exactly combine me with the name so he still doesn't know me. Anyways, how do I get him to notice me. He is a grade older than me so we have no classes. Any advice is appreciated!

Trying to "hunt" him down might creep him out.


I feel like there is nothign I can do to be happy. I've cried 3 out of the past 6 days, and cannot get happy again. The reason I never got help is becasue I'd have 3 bad days, and then have one good day and thinkn that I am fine. I have a loss in appitite, headaches, I feel like I'm just going through the motions every day, I want to be alone a lot, and I feel like I'm pushing some people away. Help!! (link)
I always feel a little gloomy in the winter time. It may not totally help but you should try taking Vitamin D 1000mg tablets. And St. Johns Wort herbal tablets. Also keep yourself busy all the time, and listen to music that gives you a positive feeling. Get a full time job if you can, or if your a student put lots of energy into your studies.
The BEST way to get rid of depression for me is to work out. If I'm depressed I'll just run until I'm exhausted, and it works every time I feel so much better afterwards.
Even though it's kinda obvious try to avoid music, TV shows, and Movies that are really dramatic and emotional cause it will just bring back depressing feelings.
Something I personally do is drink lots of coffee, and I'm not sure why it helps but it does.
These are things I try to do because I've felt the same way as you. I was feeling lonely, nothing was worth anything, and the only thing I looked forward to was going to sleep every day.
Everyones different, and I think we all have to find our ways and purpose to be happy. Try some of the things I talked about though, and maybe some of them will help.


In your own personal opinion, could you please tell me whether or not I'm suited to be a model?

In all honesty please. My feelings don't get hurt easily. Constuctive criticism will be taken well. (link)
Very nice! I think you should go for it.
-good luck


I'm on my school's newspaper. Anyone have any ideas that would catch a high schooler's attention and they would read it? I'm mainly writing for the entertainment section but anything would be helpful. Thanks!
(link)
I agree with the other reader. Movies are a great thing you can always talk about that will get people attention. Something else that will always get peoples attention is relationship oriented stuff. Some other things you could always talk about would be music related things like new bands and what's popular. If you haven't already you could also do an article on the new iphone. If all else fails you could always interview what students think about Paris Hilton or Lindsy Lohan's recent history -haha.


what does it mean for a guy when he is shaking your hand, using both hands, on to shake and another on top?

im female (link)
I agree with the other reader that it just means he's glad to meet you and that it's his special way of doing a handshake. I'm a guy and when I was in Germany most of the older people always shook my hand and put the other hand on top regardless of their gender. It was awkward, but after awhile I got use to it as just a different way of handshaking.


How can I maintain or improve mental health?

I am from Tonga (link)
Well I don't know how much access you have to it, but the one thing that I couldn't live without is music. I would recommend listening to music you like. Something I that always makes me feel better is spending time with my dog. If you have any pets, taking care of them and being with them can give your life much more meaning. Also if you don't already make sure to start becoming physically active and make it a routine part of your day. Like running a mile or two a day. Also if you can spend time more time with family members you like this always seemed to cheer me up. Hopefully this info helps.
