Donna

Quote From: hitechgirl

Dillan may be putting up with her jealous ways, but he had no business in telling other girls that his girlfriend is "jealous".  It doesn't give her a chance to meet the girls and build legitimate friendships of her own.  He is setting her up for failure by "pre-telling" people what she will do.  People can't meet her with an open mind when they have already been told how she will act. 

  

On the other hand,,,personally, I think she should give up modeling if she has such a problem with him looking at other girls.  Does she not mind when men look at her semi-pornographic photos even though most of the men probably have girlfriends or wives?  Does she mind being the source of jealousy for other women?  Seems like a double standard to me.  Put your freaking clothes on and do some respectable modeling if you have to go for that shallow career.  You seem smart,,,use your brain instead of your bod!!!  Your not helping yourself or any other women for that matter. 

  

  

I think it was perfectly natural for Dillon to talk about Donna in that situation - they were all on the Island for a reason, and to share their stories does not seem out of line to me.  Also, its sometimes easier to talk to strangers about such things because you don't have to deal with them later.... 

  

Donna is a wreck.  My initial, not very nice impression was "what a drama queen" - she certainly comes across that way although I realize its out of insecurity.  She, imho, should not be in any serious relationship until she does some serious work on herself.

Video Games

The video game issue is interesting to me - I have know lots of people who, for lack of a better word, are "addicted" to them, but not many adults.  There has been some interesting research recently on what high exposure to video games and other media does to the adolescent brain http://www.sosparents.org/Brain%20Study.htm  but I'm not sure if there is any research on what it does to the adult brain...Does anyone know of any in that area?

Very Defensive

Gwen's postings on here are pretty defensive.  I can understand that it's difficult to hear criticism - no one likes to hear about their faults (and we all have them), but  Gwen,,you did say basically that you would 'dial back' your behavior, so that's aknowledging that SOMETIMES you can be obnoxious.  The video showed clearly how you can act, and if you know its hurtful to someone you love, why would you do it? 

  

Like the other people posting on this topic, I would object strenuously to someone teaching my young child to say phrases containing swear words - it's not ok - ever.

04/25 Teen Wake-Up Calls

Quote From: angelco57

People who like to tan, like to tan.  Plain and simple.  I Know that burning is not the way to go.  You cannot moderate your amount of uv rays in the sun, however, you can prevent burning in tanning salons.  THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE TO A NATURAL LOOKING, LONG LASTING TAN WITHOUT STREAKING OR ORANGE COLORING OR SIDE EFFECTS. **** THE MYSTIC TAN BOOTH****** This is a patented, safe booth in which you can obtain a perfect tan in less than one minute.  I actually have owned one in my salon for 4 years and have had excellent results.  It is a private booth which sprays the solution (actually a mist) on your entire body. The ingredients are aloe vera and the DHA (bronzing agent) is SUGAR.  This booth has actually been featured on David Letterman and Live with Regis and Kelly.  Beauty magazines feature articles of Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, etc. using this exact same booth.   

 

As far as tanning beds, moderation is the key.  There are many benefits of small amounts of uv rays.  And even people not exposed to sunlight, say in Romania, also get melanoma and skin cancers. 

 

I asked my Dermatologist about tanning beds.  He said no problem.  And he actually refers his patients with psoriasis and dermatitis to me for treatment.   

 

Please all, have a great evening. 

 "you can prevent burning in tanning salons"  hmmmm.. not necessarily.  I've seen plenty of people who have gotten burned using a bed in a tanning salon.  My niece has already had a bout of melanoma (at age 21) and she's never had a sunburn in her life!  Damaging your skin is damaging your skin - you get tan because you're cooking skin cells.  I have read of benefits of exposure to the sun - but the exposure times are very short.  Finally, not to be picky, but Romania gets sunlight - much of the country falls at the same latitudes as the Northern parts of the US.

Validity?

I find these 'experiments' with people changing their appearance to then see how they are treated interesting.  I am a large woman, but I have RARELY felt like I am treated differently because of it.  (Maybe I'm oblivious).  During the segment Jay admitted that he FELT different, so perhaps he was skewing the results of how he was being treated.  Maybe he wasn't really making eye contact either.  When I want something (service at a store for example), I make eye contact, am very friendly and get treated the same way in return.  (and I' ve never been ignored when asking for directions!) I wonder if 'beautiful people' who go through these transformations end up acting like they THINK fat people feel, when that isn't necessarily the case.

05/30 Pretty/Ugly

Quote From: haircut1

I want to take Victoria away from that horrible mother and adopt her.
I agree!  Those two mothers made me sick to my stomach (literally) - I can't even fathom a mother feeling that way about her baby!  Victoria has blotchy skin - big whoop!  She is a beautiful little girl!  In the segment  when her mom snapped at her about the way she was eating, she apologized and FLINCHED - and so did I - she seemed so beaten down it was heart-breaking!

Oh My Lord

If these women really want to be married - they need to find new men.  These men are NOT the right ones.  They don't value marriage.  That isn't a judgement, marriage isn't for everyone - but why on Earth would they stay in these relationships?  They don't have common needs and wants!

You're so right.

Quote From: daws458

First, to the Jesussis woman, or whatever, I am a Christian girl who has gone out with more than one christian guy (not at the same time) that I met over the web.  Some of us don't have time to meet guys the old fashioned way anymore, and it has become a useful tool in our society if used correctly.

 

that said, who does Meredith think she is?  The old "push them away before they hurt me" thing is so cliche.  It all comes down to her thinking she deserves the perfect guy when a.) there is no such thing and b.) she is not exactly perfect herself.  One of my good guy friends (really cute, too) was watching this with me and said, "I would never give her the time of day b/c she is so superficial" -- it is a very ugly quality and does not make her look too bright, either.

 

just had to get all that out.

I agree about Meredeth-completely superficial - and it is an ugly quality.  She needs to grow up - you would think by 29 she would realize that there is no such thing as perfection.  She didn't mention anything other than physical traits regarding men.  Obviously you need to be somewhat attracted to an individual initially, but if you reject everyone out of hand, there is no chance for your view of them to change, for you to become attacted to the person, not just the person's body.

Here's a thought

Quote From: drpheel

Hey everybody. Need some advice. My girlfriend started taking antidepressants recently, not too big of a deal . This is the big deal- she gets drunk and asks a stranger if he wants to have sex with her for money. I was with her at the time!!!   She says its just because she was intoxicated and she knows it would be a bad thing to do. But also says that its kind of a fantasy for her to be a call girl. Anybody got an opinion on this one?

Most antidepressants are not compatible with drinking.  It can (a) reduce/negate the effectiveness and (b) cause some nasty side -effects.  (other than the obvious bad judgement she had in the incident you relayed)  - so perhaps she should stay away from the booze

 

and - as someone else stated before, fantasies are something that can be acted out with your partner.  If that doesn't do the trick she has problems bigger than you can solve...

Here's what I don't understand

Cheri made a comment like "They make you feel...that there is nobody else out there....nobody's gonna want you..."

 

Just suppose that's true - that getting out of that relationship means that you will be on your own.

 

SO WHAT?  Why wouldn't you rather be alone than be with someone like that?  I don't get that at all!
