dating.... relationships. i think it's more about relationships. for a crude example: who, honestly, could you shart your pants in the presence of (without justifiable reason or excuse) and not feel any shame.
very few people in your life, if any. intimacy is dirty stuff. it's difficult to reveal that we are helpless animals, ultimately.
controlled by hormones, if we cannot mature appropriately.

to shart at any time is shameful
intimacy is dirty for all animals, that is why apes groom each other
sometimes even the appropriately matured are controlled by hormones
dadiekool's not a girl, skibaby's not a girl, cat's can't play chess!?! all my sisters are turning into brothers. i'm have to say i'm a bit dissapointed, but not because i was or was not deceived. i'm bummed because i've been paying every week to give my cute kitty Bebe chess lessons.
why god? why? next you'll tell me that jesus isn't really the easter bunny. wait! i'd rather not have my love of candy and theology part ways.
lalalalalalalala i'm not listening lalalalalalal plugging my ears lololololololololmao
LMAO!!!!!!!!! hillarious
ok, but more seriously. we live in a golden age. does everyone realise what this conversation signifies? we live in a society where the average citizen not only recognises and peruses (and i mean peruse in the literal, not the connotative sense: to examine thoroughly) the FACT that we all wear masks (thanks artist whom we know as shakespear and subsequent western psychologists) in an open discussion in a public forum. even 50 years ago many social interactions were based upon the honesty mistakenly perceived masquerading as the typical human facade.
we all lie all the time. even autistics and neuro patients who are nearly incapable of telling lies tend to lie as well, if oftentimes only in mimicry or an attempt to socialise by 'fitting in'. to act like one does not intentionally deceive on a daily basis in effect to what one's persona should be perceived as is a denial of what it means to be alive and human.
people get over yourselves. it's all a delusion of interpretation. human senses can only perceive less than 1% of what actually exists in nature. senses dictate emotions. emotions govern behavior. behavior is directly related to one's actions. the more we acknowledge these facts the more we can interrelate in ways that are less counterproductive.
there is no gender war genetically. it is a social construction.
uh OK

can we just go abck to the point where it's a bit weird to have a womans picture as your avatar when you are a man?????
or is it just me??? it is weird right??
Even if you are gay, its a bit weird...
most men i know who are gay generally tend to be proud of the fact they are men who like other men, and so it doesn't make sense they would have a womans picture there...
maybe i am missing some thing here...
I think that is the point. Is it weird for a man to have a female image
as his avatar? Is it stranger then a using the image of a cat, a famous
athlete, a super hero? Is it odd if the avatar is the warrior of death,
staring down from his horse?
I think it's the reasoning behind it, that makes it a bit wierd.
and what do you think the reason is i like women heres a nice pic.or is it i have a pic of a cat does that mean i'm in to beastiality so before you pass judgement about a person motives think about this did you choose to challenge this person because they have a nice pic or because there rating was higher than your own

no it's just you. most people pick their avatar as something they like not what you like. think about this Did you ask your opponents name ?
There are just a lot of hornballs on this site.
Maybe they need to do more Google image searching before they log on just to clear their pipes and take a load off.

it has nothing to do with what i like or what their name is. incidentally, Skibaby has already been identified as a gender ambiguous (i invented a new phrase!) name and so it is easy to asume they are women. the point of avatars is that it says something about you. generally, men tend to gravitate towards masculine pictures i.e. a cat hunting or fighting, a famous, athlete, a super hero or the warrior of death. all masculine images.
that is what is weird about it, and why it particularly jars with the men in this forum, not because the images the men have chosen are partcularly hot (Skibaby please stand up), but because it goes against the masculine imagery of what we usually select
your avatar is considered to be your representative of who you are in the virtual world. so what does a picture of a woman say about a guy???

so all you cats,dogs, rocks,and landscapes you better stop misleading these guysthe virtual world depends on you honesty
*sighs* so, i put across a reasonable reason why we think that using a female avatar for men, as opposed to the usual masculie imagery might be percieved as a little strange, and i get two "accusations" that i'm gay.
very mature. well done.
i could lower myself to your levels, but i won't. all i will say is that i in no way implied you were gay so try not to go COMPLETELY homophobic on us...
