I try to avoid speaking my deep thoughts. Any time I try to say something semi-deep its like I can hear crickets. You probably make sense, it is just a lot of people don't want to spend a lot of time thinking.. Oops that sounds negative.:mno:

I believe that evolutionary theories have merit. Nothing should be taken wholeheartedly. In general, I think the Bible and any religious book should be valued for its spiritual purposes and should remain disconnected from science. We know well enough that a history textbook can easily be...

Arrogance is a big turn off for me. The others are hypocrisy, indifference, and stupidity.

I think it is fine to want someone who talks care of herself. We tend to be attracted to people who maintain the same standards. My list is: smart, kind but tough when needed, fair, reasonable sense of humor, physically fit, good hygeine, ambition for something he cares about (but not making...

I tend to be pretty avoidant. I never asked a guy out. If I liked someone I pretty much avoided them and would never reveal my interest in them. I have ended up dating guys who found introverted girls charming and who took initiative in getting to know me. My current boyfriend is Chinese so I...

Yes, I think we're stuck with each other. We need other people, at least to a certain level.

It does seem like there are more idiots. Lately I debate with myself whether there are really truly more of them, or if they just have a greater voice than before. Anyone can really write a blog or post something online, previously the channels of information were more regulated. Of course, I...

I would generally wait until prompted to offer advice. If I do give advice, it would be something I follow and believe in. If I had not understanding of what they were asking for advice on, I would make that clear, and I would consider what I was giving as suggestions. I generally won't make...

I would like to think an economic crash might derail the trends of globalization and make people more aware of the non-material world. The U.S. has been too material driven so if people have to scale back there may be benefits, families cooking and eating together, etc. Also, it may lessen some...

I tend to not reveal my deepest emotions. I was slightly more expressive when I was younger, but when I would reveal my ideas or emotions as a kid, often I would get laughed at. I found that many of the people I was around were dealing with life at a more surface level and if and when I shared...

Actually, I think it is a good balance between thinking and feeling. I don't know my boyfriend's MBTI type, but I would definitely think he'd be classified as the thinking type. It works out as you mentioned, he helps me be more pragmatic and I help him try to enjoy some of the more subtle...

There is no such thing as perfect, but a good relationship would be one where both parties care about the others well being and do what they can to make sure the relationship thrives. I believe this is shown through many little gestures, such as checking in with him when he is not feeling...

As long as you respect each other for your differences it should work out. It is healthy too to think about the potential areas for problems. It sounds like you are both feeling types, which should make for an emotionally fulfilling relationship. My ex-husband was more extroverted and he was...

I believe that more people are good than are bad, but that bad people get more attention. People tend to take for granted the small kindnesses they receive than for no other reason than someone is just being nice. Take for example the clerk at the grocery store that finds you a coupon you...

I'd say I'm adequately intelligent. The older I get the more astounded I am of all the things I do not yet know. I feel that I could spend all my time studying and still only be scratching the surface. I agree with the other posts that there are many types of intelligence and being incredibly...
