Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values What matters most in life: 1 of 42

I don’t think there is one answer to this question. We as humans have lives and experiences that have varied and given us different perspectives. For those of us who have experienced a bit more in life, we realize that what matters most in life can change as we grow and mature. This is because our view changes as we en...
Health & Fitness > Weight Issues Obesity: What is the real cause?: 1 of 24

First, we need to realize that there is no one cause for obesity. There are multiple causes which vary from person to person and more then one cause can work with others to contribute to a person's obesity. So what are the causes of obesity? Everyone has a genetic make up. I am not ready to buy that an individual must be obe...
Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Should a husband tell his wife about his romantic past?: 1 of 18

I would hope that he told his wife long before she was his wife. It's not a discussion to be had after vows are taken. Nor is it a one way street, both partners need to share their romantic pasts. This does not mean that all the hot sweaty details need to be given. How much info is given should be based on a couple of things...
Health & Fitness > Health Testimonies Health testimonies: Diet success stories: 1 of 16

The last diet I ever went on was The Phen-fen diet pill craze and I spent several years believing it was going to claim me as one of its victims, since several months after I had taken the drugs I had a sudden onset of shortness of breath on extertion. I was quickly diagnosed as having allergies, handed prescriptions for inh...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sisters: 7 of 108

I met my sister today we don't share genes we share experiences not that we have lived the same life, because we have not. I met my sister today she doesn't share my father nor my mother yet I knew she was my sister, I knew who she was immediately. I met my sister today I have met several sisters throughout my life. Which is...
Health & Fitness > Weight Issues Self perception and weight: 1 of 15

I am sure there are those who could argue that self-perception and weight have little to do with each other but I am afraid I am not one of them. For me the two have always been intertwined and it began very early. Our perception of self begins with input and information we get from those around us and begins instantly at bi...
Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology Why women think men go for looks: 1 of 14

Such statements that are so broad and general, are as I have learned through experience, usually false. As with any opinion an individual might develop, one can always find examples to support their theory and ignore the evidence that disputes their idea. I am a woman and I am unsure what men truly are drawn to in women. I h...
Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Ending gender stereotypes: 1 of 14

Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing? I suspect though it will never happen, our gender stereotypes just run too deep and are embedded within every part of our life, without us even being conscious of many of them. While I am a woman, I don't feel that I am a feminist, besides I am extremely tired of labels. I just want people...
Relationships & Family > Married Life What wives want from husbands: 4 of 54

I am married now for the third time ( I married my first husband twice) and I always find these lists a bit funny because the two sexes have such different attitudes about what they want. I certainly can't speak for all women, only myself, and I suspect that I am very different from a lot of women. All I know is what is and ...
Relationships & Family > Friendship Issues & Advice Why friendship is two-way communication: 2 of 23

Communication is a huge portion of our every day lives though we often don't realize that. The question is how well have you learned to communicate? Many of us lack good communication skills and unfortunately even if your skills are the best in the world if the person you are attempting to communicate with is not skillful, t...
