What is the truth about speaking vs. body language? (see details)? I've read a few times now, in various articles, that "Only a small percentage of communication involves actual words: 7%, to be exact. In fact, 55% of communication is visual (body language, eye contact) and 38% is vocal (pitch, speed, volume, tone of voice). The world's best business communicators have strong body language: a commanding presence that reflects confidence, competence, and charisma." However!...when I contact the authors about the sources for this I never get a reply. In addition I did contact the authors of a book who propose the opposite...they claim it's an urban legend. Can anyone point me to the hard studies that show real evidence for this...or whatever the proper percentage is?

Reading body language? I recently met someone in business who threw me off when after a great conversation, she actually put her foot against my chair (we sat side by side during the meeting). Does anybody know what this is supposed to mean in body language? I felt that she was really comfortable with me but I don't know what that meant exactly. She put her foot so that it was resting on my leg for a bit. I was confused b/c we're both involved with other women and are working for the same firm. (We're both lesbians...not that our sexuality matters). I'm just a little taken aback b/c she seemed to be flirty in many other ways that day, but it was her body language which threw me off. By the way, any gay bashing like Dr. C below will be reported to yahoo. Racism, gay bashing and death threats are not allowed on yahoo so good luck in life if you display any of these on here.

body language? wtf? i like this guy, and im soo confused about what is going on. he told me that he wants to take things slow, and nothing has happened between us, but when we are together he looks in my eyes.. that way (i think). and he stayed at my house a while ago and i woke up in the middle of the night with his arm around me, and he kept making sure some part of his body was touching mine, and he was kinda cuddling with me. we talk ALL the time. but we both are going through bs w/ our exes.. and when they found out he told me they will get over it, and its not any of their business. and i think im falling for him, but im afraid to ask him what is going on w/ us b/c i don't want to loose him as a friend. but all his body language is telling me he is into me, and maybe he is just shy like that and doesn't want to move to fast. he once told me he doesn't want to jump inot anything quickly b/c the never work out. HELP... is he just wanting to take things slow? or am i misreading him?

what is meant by body language, how useful or harmful cd it be? diplomatic, health, political and social services and analysts try to assess the person/patient observing closely their body language. a frown or a fickle smile on the patients face tells much to a doctor before a diagnosis. a smart intervievor can bust open a hyprocite pretending to be patriotic and business or matters of prime national interests negotiated also depend on observations of b/l of the negotiators. is there a internationally accepted code of this language?

Is my co worker displaying flirtatious body language? A few days ago I was minding my own business when my co worker began talking to me so I stopped what I was doing, turned around and faced him, we were looking each other in the eye, when he drew his hands to his abdominal areal below the belly button and began to rub, I couldn't help myself but look at that area. Is that flirtatious body language? I admit that I find him in the same vacinity of where I'm working, he's touched my shoulders and commented on my clothing while touching it. Today, I noticed that the front of his body was faced toward mine and so was mine, but his feet where not pointed towards me. Help, I really dig this guy alot!!!!

What are some types of nonverbal communication used in Mexico that can be related to the business world? I am doing research on nonverbal communication in Mexico. I am trying to find specific information on body language, eye contact, and other things like that. I want to see how those things deffer from our nonverbal communication in The United States.

How much eye contact, is too much eye contact? Before reading, please answer this in a helpful manor. I am a communications student in my last year of college. Last semester I studied facial expression and body language in business settings. After learning about these different traits in class, I became intrigued with the psychology behind facial expression and body language. I found myself searching for all related information and after studying the field I came upon a weird problem/realization…. I no longer think and interact in the same way during normal interactions and conversations. - I feel myself acting like a psychologist instead of relaxing and reacting. I definitely experience information overload and it is driving me crazy. - I find myself over-analyzing normal facial expression during conversations, and I central process my interactions instead peripheral processing like most people. So with all that in mind I need some help in the form of more information. Please answer if you can help!

Body language help?!? Ok, so there's this guy I really really like. I met him through a business relationship through my family's business. I personally don't talk to him much more than saying "hi". I really want to make a move, but we're both pretty shy.The last time he was at the business, my dad was standing in the street and he was facing the business. I was standing in the business facing him(but not staring). When they were talking he kept looking over my dad's shoulder at me. I was kinda smiling because I wasn't sure he was looking at me but he kept doing it the whole time they were talking. Then, he kept trying to come inside, but he couldn't b/c they were talking about something my didn't want others to hear. Then, when he was getting in his car to leave he turned again and looked me straight in the face. I smiled again and he smiled a little. Would you say he was trying to flirt buyt was too shy, or just looking? I really got the feeling that he wanted to talk to me. Should I try to make a move?

I just bought a 8 week old yellow Labrador-Retriver puppy. How can I potty train him? I bought the training pad. But I am still not sure how to make him understand the purpose of it? I can figure out by his body language when he is about to do his number 2 business. So I take him out to the yard. It's almost the same pattern ( 30 to 45 munites after he eats) so its kinda working out, but as for the Number # 1---- he drinks so much and so frequently. He pees almost every time after drinking. How can I solve this situation???

How to up confidence and decrease self-conciousness? In certain situations such as working with my student organization, I view it in a business manner and am comfortable with that and feel confident in leading the organization (I'm president), even though at meetings, we may have no more than 15 people. What are other ways can I up my confidence when talking to just one other person i may want to impress? I take my body language seriously, and try not to touch my face too much when talking to people or be too fidgity. How can I change the way that I think so I'm not as self-concious as usual? I know whenever i'm talking with someone, I'm imagining in the back of my mind how I look, how i sound, if I'm interesting enough, and do I seem as self-assured as the other person? What do you do to fix these things? I wanted to add that usually when i'm in social situations, i come across as being nervous or uncomfortable. How can i change that?

Political business card? Hey everyone! So I really really need everyone's opinion on this. I'm in a real dilemma. So I'm trying to make a political business card I can distribute to various places, to try to get my name out there. I'm a Foreign Affairs Major and aspire to one day become a United States diplomat to the Middle East, the seemingly endless violence in Palestine has been a stable topic of my childhood. Most of my family live in Palestine and not a day goes by that I don't worry about their well-being. Not a single day goes by that I don't pray for peace between Israel and Palestine. So anyway I went to Office Depot to try get this done and this is what they came up with....<http://www.zshare.net/download/96080851d91b8f/> so they are charging me like $78.99 for a thousand of them. The problem is I so happened to ask my psychology professor what she thought of it and she said she liked it but had one small concern. The way I tilted my head left words sends bad body language. That it doesn't represent myself in a professional manner, that I would prefer it to. On the other hand, I asked the vice president of my college what he thought and he told me yes it does dignifie you in a less than professional manner but it also shows that you have personality and passion in your beliefs that it also dignifies that you are no ordinary politician. So I have no idea what to do. Is it professional or not? Should I cancel the order or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please serious answers only. Thank you and God bless. And just so you know they messed up on my phone number LOL so sorry to disappoint some people :-)

how do you get a long winded co worker to get to the point? She keeps talking and talking incessantly. Most of the time its not even about work related things. I'm way too nice to tell her I'm too busy to listen to her talk about her beach trip last weekend. Sometimes I just try to walk away and she doesn't seem to notice my body language. What's the best way to approach her with work related business and not get involved in a long conversation (aka listen to her monologues).

Can someone please proof read this executive summary for me!! THANKS!? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purposes of Report The purposes of this report are to (1) define ethnocentrism and (2) identify factors affecting cross-cultural business communication, and (3) recommend improvements for small business in an international arena. Ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism is the belief that one’s own cultural group is innately superior to others. To rise above the issues of ethnocentrism one needs to understand how a meaning of a message changes depending on the culture of those communicating. Factors Affecting Cross-Cultural Business Communication •Language: Understanding linguistic differences is a huge part of international business communication. Language failures usually fall into three categories: Gross translation problems, subtle distinctions from language to language, and culturally-based variations among speakers of the same language •Environment and Technology: Every culture has different surroundings; resources that may be abundant in one place can be limited in another. Several factors must be considered, including climate and topography, population size and density, and relative availability of natural resources. •Social Organization and History: Cultural perspectives can differ on many aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to work within the restraints of a culture to succeed, because one will have trouble doing so if they try to impose their own values. •Conceptions of Authority: Shapes the view of how the message will be received based on the relative status or rank of the person delivering the message. Influences the forms that managerial and other business communications take. •Nonverbal Communication: Learn the prevailing attitudes in different areas before conducting business with businesses or people of other cultures since nonverbal communication varies among cultures. Be aware of body language, clothing choices, eye contact, touching behavior, and conceptions of personal space. Recommendations for Small Business and International Communication The author suggests the following to improve business communication in the international arena. (1) Be respectful toward all people, (2) think before speaking, and (3) research current business practices; including etiquette, cultural and customer sensitivities, current events, and relevant history.

Why have churches sold out to the government? Obtaining Corporation Status (501c3) is Against God The word "church" is not meant to refer to any physical building, but refers to the worldwide body of believers in Christ. The word "church" (ecclesia in Greek - called out ones) does not refer to any organization, no matter it's name or legal status. Keep that in mind when reading this article. It is time for Christians to wake up and turn back to God. We need to turn to the Lord and repent of our sins that we have committed against Him. We need to ask for forgiveness of tolerating idolatry that removes His Sovereignty over His Church. To see that the Church is in grave danger we must have a clear understanding of what a corporation is. We also need to realize what the courts have ruled about corporations and that a corporation has no rights, only privileges, granted by the "estate." To become a corporation removes the authority of the Lord over a corporate church and puts it under the bondage of man's law. According to man, The State is Sovereign over its Corporations 1. "A corporation is a creature of the state. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises and holds them subject to the laws of the state and the limitation of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It can make no contract not authorized by its charter. Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation. There is a reserved right in the legislature to investigate its contracts and ascertain if it has exceeded its powers" (Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43) 2. "[A corporation is] an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state. An association of persons created by statute as a legal entity.... The corporation is distinct from the individuals who comprise it (shareholders).... Such an entity subsists as a body politic under a special denomination, which is regarded in law as having a personality and existence distinct from that of its several members." Black's Law Dictionary West Publishing Company, 1991; 6th Edition, page 340. 3. "A corporation derives its existence and all of its powers from the State and, therefore, has only such powers as the State has conferred upon it. Power is used here to mean the legal capacity to execute and fulfill the objects and purposes for which the corporation was created, and the source of this power is the charter and the statute under which the corporation was organized." Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 796. A corporation derives its existence and all of its power from the State. The church on the other hand was created by and is the body of Christ. We belong to Him and we are subject to Him and His Laws. The source of any church's power is supposed to be the Holy Spirit; it's authority to function solely from God. 4. "Corporate existence is a privilege granted by the sovereign upon compliance with specified conditions" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 931. . 5. "Corporations are not citizens.... The term citizen... applies only to natural persons... not to artificial persons created by the legislature" Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168, 177; see also the Opinion of Field, J., in the Slaughterhouse Cases, 16 Wall.36,99 The Word of God teaches us that Christians, His Holy Church, are citizens of the household of God (Eph.2:19). 6. Every corporation has obtained a charter from the State of Incorporation. This charter is simply permission to exist given to the corporation (by the State!) without which, its operations would be considered illegal. In addition to the charter are the articles of incorporation: "The objects or purposes for which a corporation is formed are expressly stated in its articles of incorporation, which delineate in general language the type of business activities in which the corporation proposes to engage" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 798. 7. "Instances of non-profit corporations are educational institutions, athletic clubs, library clubs, fraternities, sororities, hospitals, and organizations which have exclusively a charitable purpose" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 789. (Note: The purpose of the church is not "charity," nor is it's purpose exclusively charitable. Charity should be a function of every church, but is certainly not it's purpose. Offering worship to God, evangelism to the lost, and the fellowship and equipping of the saints are among church's exclusive purposes. (gm) The Lord is Sovereign over His Churches : Jesus is the Head of the Church, not man Paul compares the special relationship of Christ and His church to the God giving relationship of man and wife. What can be closer or more special then this? Would you bring another person into your marriage to control it with worldly principles? I hope the answer is no. Then why would you bring in a "fictitious entity" no less created by the state and man i.e.: corporation, to run and regulate something that belongs to the Lord? The relationship with Jesus and His Church belongs to Him alone. He is the Head of the Church and as such He governs it with His Laws, Principles and Directions. After all He is our King and is Sovereign over His Church. To become a corporation in effect divorces the church from Christ. We also commit idolatry by putting something before Him. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Christ is the Saviour of the body (the church); not the state. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. The church is subject to Christ not the state. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Christ has purchased the church with His own blood. The State can give nothing for the church and should give nothing to the church. 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. The church should be holy and without blemish, to mingle the church with the state/worldly system is to bring spot and wrinkle to the church because of what the state/world does and says, homosexuality, abortion, adultery and many other things are acceptable, they pass laws making them that way. This goes against God; should the church be partakers of that? 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: The Lord nourishes and cherishes the church. Throughout history the state has tried to destroy the church. It still does through legislation trying to control all aspects of the free and corporate church. 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. The church is a living organism with a living head and body. Therefore the church is not a religious organization. It is possible to be a religious or charitable organization without being a church. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. The church is to be joined unto Christ. In Matthew Jesus used the word cleave. I do not see that the church is to be joined to Christ and the state. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. He speaks of the relationship that the church is supposed to have with Christ. One that is supposed to be holy and true. One, that's with each other without interference, blessed. Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church Christ is to be all things to the church. He is in Charge and Head of the church not the state. The state is under His feet, it is the footstool of the Lord why put it ahead of Him? 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. KJV There are more Scriptures that would support that Jesus is the sole authority over the church. Most of us Christians know this and believe this. I challenge my brothers and sisters to find them. Study them, to see if the Truth is being brought forth. Jesus Christ Should Be The Head Of The Church - Why Then Incorporate? Many people for some reason think that a church has to. This is far from the truth on a few different levels. Here in the United States of America a church does not have to incorporate at all to be recognized as a local body of believers. (Not sure why they would want recognition from the state anyway.) I know some of you are thinking "Well, Romans 13 says..." Most of us have been taught that whatever the government says, goes. Wrong! If the government passes a law that interferes or contradicts one of Gods law we are not bound to follow it. There are examples of this in the Bible ; we have all heard the story of Daniel and the lions' den. To think Christians are bound by the laws of men, when it comes to the work of the Kingdom, is just stupid. If this were the case the church in Russia, China, Middle East and other places - if they listened to Romans 13 the way it is applied now - would never have seen growth. How about the brothers/sisters that smuggled Bibles into the old Soviet Block, China, Cuba and others? Whose law did they break? Man's. The local government's. They may be held accountable for their actions by men, they might even lose their lives. Guess what? God will reward them for their actions. They were doing the work of the Kingdom. I know most of us have heard that Federal law supercedes state law. State law supercedes county, city and town law, and so on and so forth. Guess what? The law of God supercedes all of man's law when it goes against His own (Acts 4:18-19). The point is even if there was a law requiring churches to incorporate we would not be bound to do so. In doing so we would be removing the Lordship of Jesus and giving it to the state. Thank God we have not reached this point yet in this country but don't be fooled, its coming. Why then do churches incorporate? 1. They think they have to. 2. They feel it gives them some benefit. 3. They think it gives them prestige. 4. Asset protection. 5. Think it's the only way gifts are tax deductible. 6. Think its okay with God. 7. They have always done it that way. The list could go on, I'm sure we could all find some earthly reasons why we think incorporating would be a good idea. We Still Think It's The Law - Show me Otherwise If you still think it's the law and that would make any difference to you in your relationship with the Lord, I will show you differently: "Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (U.S. Constitution, First Amendment). According to the Internal Revenue Code, "a church, its integrated auxiliaries, and conventions and associations of the church are excluded from taxation." United States Code, Title 26, 508(c)(1)(A). Section 508(c) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that churches are not required to apply for recognition of Section 501(c)(3) status in order to be exempt from federal taxation or to receive tax deductible contributions. Churches are automatically exempt from Federal income tax, and contributions to churches are deductible by donors under section 170. Elsewhere, the IRS states: "Although a church, its integrated auxiliaries, or a convention of churches is not required to file Form 1023 to be exempt from federal income tax or to receive tax deductible contributions, such an organization may find it advantageous to obtain recognition of exemption (Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization, IRS Publication 557). Just what "advantage" is there for a church in obtaining 501(c)(3) recognition and thereby exchanging its sovereignty for a subordinate status in relation to the federal government? Most people would answer that such grants the church exemption from taxation. However, we have already seen that the federal government has never been able to tax the Church of Christ; the Church is not exempt from taxation, it is immune. The "advantage" is something else entirely: "By establishing its exemption, potential contributors are assured by the [Internal Revenue] Service that contributions will be deductible" Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization, IRS Publication 557. The tragic irony of all this is that, according to the Internal Revenue Code, financial donations to an unregistered, unincorporated church are automatically tax-deductible (26 USC 170-B). The government has no constitutional authority over the Church. It is not allowed to violate the First Amendment protection that the constitution provides. In fact the government may not infringe on any of our constitutional rights at all. They have found a way around this of course. To hold out an unbiblical advantage hoping an ignorant clergy person will take the bait and bring the church into voluntary compliance by forming a 501( C )(3) corporation, thus placing the church under the authority of the state. Once the church has been transformed into a corporation it then becomes subject to control by federal and state governments. In truth an incorporated church is no longer a church!! but merely a non-profit organization. Once a church incorporates the new non-profit organization is subject to total control by the government. You will be controlled on who you hire, what you can and cannot preach. You cannot conflict with public policy nor assault the hearer's sense of mental well being, self-esteem, sexual orientation etc. You can be sued. The IRS prohibits such organizations from "carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation" (26 USC 501-C-3). This prohibition extends, not only to the endorsement of a political candidate, but also any other attempts to "influence legislation," including taking a public stand against such government-protected abominations, such as abortion or homosexuality. Now, the church is discovering that favors from Washington, DC have strings attached. In this case, the string is a rope that is being used to throttle her once-powerful voice, to squeeze out her very life and, eventually, to hang her by the neck until dead! History Of Our New Nation: One of the reason people came to the new land was to get away from the entanglements of the old world. Quite a few of the reasons dealt with the issue of church and state. People where fleeing a repressive regime where there was a state-sponsored church or the church was running the governments. It was bad enough that people picked up and left. Now we seem to be returning to what our forefathers left on our own free will. We are taking a license to preach from the state, being told what we can and can't say. One of the things that inspired Patrick Henry's speech "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" was, he saw a man being beaten for preaching the gospel without a license. If we forget history we are doomed to repeat it. We as Christians need to wake up and take a stand. One thing that sticks in my mind is when I got married : "By the power vested in me by God and the State of California I now...." What Do I Do Now? (This section will not be favored by corporate Pastor/Ministers.) 1. You became incorporated, become unincorporated. 2. Talk to your Pastor/Minister about this important issue. 3. Rescind your membership in an incorporated church. 4. Don't incorporate. 5. Don't support incorporated churches. 6. Find an unincorporated church. 7. Start an unincorporated church. 8. Study Your Bible Daily. 9. Pray for the Body of Christ. 10. Witness and lead people to a personal relationship with Jesus. I know finding an unincorporated church will be a real chore, as there are not many out there. There is also a real need to hear and study the word. If you must go to an incorporated church I suggest not becoming a member. I know this is not the norm but we have to remember who the head of the church is, and especially, that we are not join to ourselves to a harlot. Churches which have (knowingly or not) substituted the authority of Christ with sinful man's demonically-influenced word system fit this description. This issue has weighed on my spirit for a long time. I'm guilty of idolatry for finding things to put before Him in the writing of this paper. I was led to write this and now it's almost done. I only pray that God will get the glory, eyes and hearts will be opened and His Will be done. I realize this paper will not make me many friends. I know this, but that was not the point. I pray people will take the time to search out what The Word has to say on this issue. I'm certain many people will come to the same conclusion and we can restore the Lordship of Jesus Christ to his rightful place over HIS church. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

How does a man play hard to get with a woman who says she wants to be friends? Do I aoid her to make her think about me. You see her body language suggest she is very interested in me. When I aske her out she says that I'm an awesome guy and she doesn't understand why God brought me to her work place cuz I startd only the past January. Am I just moving to fast for her? Would it be better for me to be back off and see what happens? I miss her all the time. What do woman like as far as when you first meet a guy you really like? Do you like for a man to be a mystery or do you like a man to call you and tell you things? Do you think I should avoid her and when I'm around just keep it to business since I work with her. If she really does like me will she chase me? Do woman like a challenge or do you like a man to give in?

Business trip? A man was on his first business trip to Japan, and he decided to check out the local Whore House. He walked in and was assigned a young girl with a body that got him "up" immediately. As soon as they reached the room, he started ripping her clothes off and getting to business. Moaning and grunting, the girl was screaming in Japanese, "Wasukima! Wasukima!" He was sure that she was praising him for his good job, so he kept going harder than ever. Later, he went golfing with his boss and a few clients. As the clients were Japanese, he decided to impress them with his new knowledge of their language. When one of them got a hole in one, he raised his arms and shouted "Wasukima!". All of the men looked at him quizzically, and one of them asked, "Why are you shouting 'wrong hole'?"

How do you approach and talk to girls without sounding and looking desperate? How do you not appear desperate? How do most girls like to be approached? and how do they like most guys to initiate a conversation? and when can you tell if the girl wants to end the conversation or she wants you to stop asking her questions? I have a very hard time reading body language and social cues because I have Asperger Syndrome, and I have never had a gf, and I have only been on one date, which was recently. Also what kind of body language should guys use when they are talking to girls or going to approach them? Like how should he walk and far should his distance be? Obviously I never lean over a girls shoulder or breath down her neck, I am not that stupid, I never follow girls around, I always let them go about their own business. I know that girls communicate more with body language than verbal, and they can read body language a heck of a lot easier than us guys. Whenever I get a girls phone number, I don't call her everyday, I wait like 2 or 3 days before calling her the first time. What other advice? I want serious, detailed answers!!! Also, I am always being myself when I talk to people, both guys and girls, I never try to be or act like somebody else. Anyway, so what could I be doing that is showing girls that I am desperate?

What is the truth about speaking vs. body language? (see details)? I've read a few times now, in various articles, that "Only a small percentage of communication involves actual words: 7%, to be exact. In fact, 55% of communication is visual (body language, eye contact) and 38% is vocal (pitch, speed, volume, tone of voice). The world's best business communicators have strong body language: a commanding presence that reflects confidence, competence, and charisma." However!...when I contact the authors about the sources for this I never get a reply. In addition I did contact the authors of a book who propose the opposite...they claim it's an urban legend. Can anyone point me to the hard studies that show real evidence for this...or whatever the proper percentage is?

Any ideas?? what she means.

Do you think I confused her or hurt her feelings? Should I apologize? What should I say? I met someone about a year and a half ago. We really hit it off in a lot of ways. We never kissed or anything but we did have a pretty intimate parting early on in the friendship. I was really new in this relationship business so I acted a little rashly and sent her an e-mail confessing how I was romantically into her. She responded saying that she didn't really know what to think. She suggested that we meet up again (a hint that she wanted to take it slow). However, we were living a few hours apart and with the business of work and so on, it was another couple of months or so before we actually met up again. I basically initiated our meeting. After what I had said in that e-mail I sent her, I think she sort of expected me to make a move. Her body language seemed to suggest this too. However, I didn't. Instead I expressed how my life was taking a new direction. I didn't even mention that e-mail I had sent her. Do you think I confused her? Should I apologize? If so, how? I was serious about what I said in regards to my life taking a new direction. But I have a friend who wants to hire someone. I think she would be perfect for the job. So, should I apologize about my "mixed signals" before I mention the job to her?

Will she call me? Will a girl who i asked out call me if i gave her my business card with contact info on it? i asked her out since she has been flirting with me for weeks, but i fear i did not chat it up with her quite enough before i asked her out. she said she has a really hectic schedule between work and school. she goes to college. but she was showing really good body language and flirting even after she said that. plus, she did not actually say "no". i gave her my card and said if her schedule frees up, to feel free to contact me if she changes her mind. she is really sweet and in her early 20's. i am in my 30's. i don't make a habit of asking out younger women, but i like this girl a lot. we have stuff in common, and she seemed happy i gave her the business card. will she call? she also invited me to talk with her at the store, but thats her place of work, and i don't want to wear out my welcome by hanging around there too much. what should i do next?

Everyone read this..more like a rhetorical ? This might be long, but it is simply the greatest thing I have ever read. Enjoy. One Vietnam veteran, an old retired colonel, once said this to me: "Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident." This is true. Remember, the murder rate is six per 100,000 per year, and the aggravated assault rate is four per 1,000 per year. What this means is that the vast majority of Americans are not inclined to hurt one another. Some estimates say that two million Americans are victims of violent crimes every year, a tragic, staggering number, perhaps an all-time record rate of violent crime. But there are almost 300 million Americans, which means that the odds of being a victim of violent crime is considerably less than one in a hundred on any given year. Furthermore, since many violent crimes are committed by repeat offenders, the actual number of violent citizens is considerably less than two million. Thus there is a paradox, and we must grasp both ends of the situation: We may well be in the most violent times in history, but violence is still remarkably rare. This is because most citizens are kind, decent people who are not capable of hurting each other, except by accident or under extreme provocation. They are sheep. I mean nothing negative by calling them sheep. To me, it is like the pretty, blue robin's egg. Inside it is soft and gooey but someday it will grow into something wonderful. But the egg cannot survive without its hard blue shell. Police officers, soldiers, and other warriors are like that shell, and someday the civilization they protect will grow into something wonderful. For now, though, they need warriors to protect them from the predators. "Then there are the wolves," the old war veteran said, "and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy." Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You had better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial. "Then there are sheepdogs," he went on, "and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf." If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero's path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed Let me expand on this old soldier's excellent model of the sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. We know that the sheep live in denial, that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world. They can accept the fact that fires can happen, which is why they want fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire alarms and fire exits throughout their kids' schools. But many of them are outraged at the idea of putting an armed police officer in their kid's school. Our children are thousands of times more likely to be killed or seriously injured by school violence than fire, but the sheep's only response to the possibility of violence is denial. The idea of someone coming to kill or harm their child is just too hard, and so they chose the path of denial. The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, can not and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheep dog that intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours. Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn't tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports, in camouflage fatigues, holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, "Baa." Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog. The students, the victims, at Columbine High School were big, tough high school students, and under ordinary circumstances they would not have had the time of day for a police officer. They were not bad kids; they just had nothing to say to a cop. When the school was under attack, however, and SWAT teams were clearing the rooms and hallways, the officers had to physically peel those clinging, sobbing kids off of them. This is how the little lambs feel about their sheepdog when the wolf is at the door. Look at what happened after September 11, 2001 when the wolf pounded hard on the door. Remember how America, more than ever before, felt differently about their law enforcement officers and military personnel? Remember how many times you heard the word hero? Understand that there is nothing morally superior about being a sheepdog; it is just what you choose to be. Also understand that a sheepdog is a funny critter: He is always sniffing around out on the perimeter, checking the breeze, barking at things that go bump in the night, and yearning for a righteous battle. That is, the young sheepdogs yearn for a righteous battle. The old sheepdogs are a little older and wiser, but they move to the sound of the guns when needed, right along with the young ones. Here is how the sheep and the sheepdog think differently. The sheep pretend the wolf will never come, but the sheepdog lives for that day. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, most of the sheep, that is, most citizens in America said, "Thank God I wasn't on one of those planes." The sheepdogs, the warriors, said, "Dear God, I wish I could have been on one of those planes. Maybe I could have made a difference." When you are truly transformed into a warrior and have truly invested yourself into warrior hood, you want to be there. You want to be able to make a difference. There was research conducted a few years ago with individuals convicted of violent crimes. These cons were in prison for serious, predatory crimes of violence: assaults, murders and killing law enforcement officers. The vast majority said that they specifically targeted victims by body language: Slumped walk, passive behavior and lack of awareness. They chose their victims the same way big cats do in Africa, when they select one out of the herd that is least able to protect itself. Some people may be destined to be sheep and others might be genetically primed to be wolves or sheepdogs. But I believe that most people can choose which one they want to be, and I'm proud to say that more and more Americans are choosing to become sheepdogs. Seven months after the attack on September 11, 2001, Todd Beamer was honored in his hometown of Cranbury, New Jersey. Todd, as you recall, was the man on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania who called on his cell phone to alert an operator from United Airlines about the hijacking. When he learned of the other three passenger planes that had been used as weapons, Todd dropped his phone and uttered the words, "Let's roll," which authorities believe was a signal to the other passengers to confront the terrorist hijackers. In one hour, a transformation occurred among the passengers - athletes, business people and parents. From sheep to sheepdogs and together they fought the wolves, ultimately saving an unknown number of lives on the ground. If you want to be a sheep, then you can be a sheep and that is okay, but you must understand the price you pay. When the wolf comes, you and your loved ones are going to die if there is not a sheepdog there to protect you. If you want to be a wolf, you can be one, but the sheepdogs are going to hunt you down and you will never have rest, safety, trust or love. But if you want to be a sheepdog and walk the warrior's path, then you must make a conscious and moral decision every day to dedicate, equip and prepare yourself to thrive in that toxic, corrosive moment when the wolf comes knocking at the door. or example, many officers carry their weapons in church. They are well concealed in ankle holsters, shoulder holsters or inside-the-belt holsters tucked into the small of their backs. Anytime you go to some form of religious service, there is a very good chance that a police officer in your congregation is carrying. You will never know if there is such an individual in your place of worship, until the wolf appears to massacre you and your loved ones. I was training a group of police officers in Texas, and during the break, one officer asked his friend if he carried his weapon in church. The other cop replied, "I will never be caught without my gun in church." I asked why he felt so strongly about this, and he told me about a cop he knew who was at a church massacre in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1999. In that incident, a mentally deranged individual came into the church and opened fire, gunning down fourteen people. He said that officer believed he could have saved every life that day if he had been carrying his gun. His own son was shot, and all he could do was throw himself on the boy's body and wait to die. That cop looked me in the eye and said, "Do you have any idea how hard it would be to live with yourself after that?" Some individuals would be horrified if they knew this police officer was carrying a weapon in church. They might call him paranoid and would probably scorn him. Yet these same individuals would be enraged and would call for "heads to roll" if they found out that the airbags in their cars were defective, or that the fire extinguisher and fire sprinklers in their kids' school did not work. They can accept the fact that fires and traffic accidents can happen and that there must be safeguards against them. Their only response to the wolf, though, is denial, and all too often their response to the sheepdog is scorn and disdain. But the sheepdog quietly asks himself, "Do you have any idea how hard it would be to live with yourself if your loved ones were attacked and killed and you had to stand there helplessly because you were unprepared for that day?" It is denial that turns people into sheep. Sheep are psychologically destroyed by combat because their only defense is denial, which is counterproductive and destructive, resulting in fear, helplessness and horror when the wolf shows up. Denial kills you twice. It kills you once, at your moment of truth when you are not physically prepared: you didn't bring your gun, you didn't train. Your only defense was wishful thinking. Hope is not a strategy. Denial kills you a second time because even if you do physically survive, you are psychologically shattered by your fear, helplessness and horror at your moment of truth. Gavin de Becker puts it like this in Fear Less, his superb post-9/11 book, which should be required reading for anyone trying to come to terms with our current world situation: "...denial can be seductive, but it has an insidious side effect. For all the peace of mind deniers think they get by saying it isn't so, the fall they take when faced with new violence is all the more unsettling."

Advice to Young Men from an Old Man ? what would you take? 1. Don’t pick on the weak. It’s immoral. Don’t antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid. 2. Don’t hate women. It’s a waste of time 3. Invest in yourself. Material things come to those that have self actualized. 4. Get in a fistfight, even if you are going to lose. 5. As a former Marine, take it from me. Don’t join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people’s economic or political interests. 6. If something has a direct benefit to an individual or a class of people, and a theoretical, abstract, or amorphous benefit to everybody else, realize that the proponent’s intentions are to benefit the former, not the latter, no matter what bullshit they try to feed you. 7. Don’t be a Republican. They are self-dealing crooks with no sense of honor or patriotism to their fellow citizens. If you must be a Republican, don’t be a “conservative.” They are whining, bitching, complaining, simple-minded self-righteous idiots who think they’re perpetual victims. Listen to talk radio for a while, you’ll see what I mean. 8. Don’t take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don’t want to come off as cynical. 9. You’ll spend your entire life listening to people tell you how much you owe them. You don’t owe the vast majority of people shit. 10. Don’t undermine your fellow young men. Mentor the young men that come after you. Society recognizes that you have the potential to be the most power force in society. It scares them. Society does not find young men sympathetic. They are afraid of you, both individually and collectively. Law enforcement’s primary purpose is to suppress you. 11. As a young man, you’re on your own. Society divides and conquers. Unlike women who have advocates looking out for them (NOW, Women’s Study Departments, government, non-profit organizations, political advocacy groups) almost no one is looking out for you. 12. Young men provide the genius and muscle by which our society thrives. Look at the Silicone Valley. By in large, it was not old men or women that created the revolution we live. Realize that society steals your contributions, secures it with our intellectual property laws, and then takes credit and the rewards where none is due. 13. Know that few people have your best interests at heart. Your mother does. Your father probably does (if he stuck around). Your siblings are on your side. Everybody else worries about themselves. 14. Don’t be afraid to tell people to “Fuck off” when need be. It is an important skill to acquire. As they say, speak your piece, even if your voice shakes. 15. Acquire empathy, good interpersonal skills, and confidence. Learn to read body language and non-verbal communication. Don’t just concentrate on your vocational or technical skills, or you’ll find your wife fucking somebody else. 16. Keep fit. 17. Don’t speak ill of your wife/girlfriend. Back her up against the world, even if she’s wrong. She should know that you have her back. When she needs your help, give it. She should know that you’ll take her part. 18. Don’t cheat on your wife/girlfriend. If you must cheat, don’t humiliate her. Don’t risk having your transgressions come back to her or her friends. Don’t do it where you live. Don’t do it with people in your social circle. Don’t shit in your own back yard. 19. If your girlfriend doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That’s what girlfriends are for. 20. Don’t bother with “emotional affairs.” They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That’s the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they’re probably fucking someone else. 21. Becoming a woman’s friend and confidant is not going to get you into an intimate relationship. If you haven’t gotten the girl within a reasonably short period of time, chances are you won’t ever get her. She’ll end up confiding to you about the sexual adventures she’s having with someone else. 22. Have and nurture friendships with women. 23. Realize that love is a numbers game. Guys fall in love easily. You’re going to see some girl and feel like you’ll die if you don’t get her. If she rejects you, move on to the next one. It’s her loss. 24. Don’t be an internet troll. Got out and live life. There is not a cadre of beautiful women advertising on Craigslist to have NSA sex with you. Beautiful women don’t need to advertise. The websites that advertise with attractive women’s photos and claims of loneliness are baloney. All they want is your money and your personal information so that they can market to you. The posts on Craigslist by young “women” seeking NSA sex, and asking for a picture are just a bunch of gay troll pic collectors. This is especially true if the post uses common gay lexicon like “hole” as in “fuck my hole” or seeks “masculine” men, or uses the word cock (except in the context of “Don’t send a cock shot.”) There are women on Craigslist. They are easily recognizable by their 2-5 paragraph postings. Most are in their 30's or older. 25. When you become a man in full, know that people will get in your way. People who are attracted to you will somehow manage to step in your path. Gay guys will give you “the look.” Old people will somehow stumble in front of you at the worst time. Don’t get frustrated. Just step aside and go about your business. Know that these are passive aggressive methods to get you to acknowledge their existence. 26. Don’t gay bash. Don’t mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It’s none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity. 27. If your gay, admit it to yourself, your parents, your friends and society at large. Be prepared to get harassed. See rule 14. If someone threatens you or assaults you, call the cops. Have them arrested. You have no obligation to self sacrifice because of who you are. As a gay person, you’ll have more social freedom than straight men. Use it to protect yourself. Be prepared to get out of Dodge if your orientation makes your life unbearable. Move to San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, or New Orleans. You’ll find a welcoming community there. 28. Don’t be a poser. Avoid being one of those dudes who puts a surfboard on top of their car, but never surfs, or a dude with a powder coated fixed gear bike and a messenger bag, but was never a messenger. Live the life. Earn your bona fides. 29. Don’t believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting fucked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn’t make it true. You have nothing to feel guilty about. 30. Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest. vicioustwist san francisco 02-15-07

Why do I fall hard or think about a girl way too much when I first meet them? Everytime I meet a girl I like and start talking to them, I feel as though we have a connection and for a moment, can't stop thinking about them, even though I've never met them. Is there something wrong with me? For example, I met a girl at a party this weekend, and we hit it off well, i think, we were both into each other and she was literally close to me when we were talking, the body language was obvious, come to find out she just broke up with her bf of 3 years no more than 3 months ago, so i know i cant go anywhere with this, but is there something seriously wrong with me? this cant be normal for a guy to have that much attraction to someone everytime he meets someone with potential....im a good guy and have good intentions, but i believe im just in over my head with all this "relationship/love" business...any help will be great. Thanks

Coffee at Starbucks, then hit up for a handout.? I'm at Starbucks, reading and enjoying my coffee when a guy comes up asking for money. He's laid off from his job, lost his place to live, has been living out of his car with his wife and baby. The shelter won't take him in until tomorrow, so he's asking for money for a hotel room. The car has no heater, etc. I start with the questions. Where is your car? He points out the window. Is that your wife in the car? Yes. What kind of work did you do? Sheet metal. You have an accent, where are you from? Jersey. All the questions are answered without hesitation. His body language does not betray a lie. Hmm... I reach into my pocket. I have two bills, a $10 and $20. I give him the ten. He proceeds to work the rest of room. He hits up one guy I know to be a self made millionaire who owns his own business. This guy gives him a $100. The beggar leaves, then I askr: What if it was a ripoff? He says, "That would be between that guy and God" What would you do?
