But in a new book, two scientists investigate what our online porn  searches say about human sexuality. Their work isn't without its  problems, but they turn up some pretty interesting data on age, body  size — and dicks. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In &lt;em&gt;A Billion Wicked Thoughts&lt;/em&gt;, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam  examine people's Internet porn preferences through data from search  engines like Dogpile and AOL and porn sites like Fantasti.cc and  PornHub. They also look at depictions of sex and love in fanfiction and  romance novels. In addition to a fascinating array of charts and  examples, they offer some pretty pat — and often unsupported —  assertions about men's and women's sexuality. I could spend a whole post  critiquing their statements on gender and the brain (many of which are  called into question by Cordelia Fine's excellent &lt;a href="http://jezebel.com/#%215627598/5-myths-about-the-female-brain"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Delusions of Gender&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)  or poking holes in generalizations like, "Men do not have sexual cues  relating to their self." But I'm less interested in what's wrong with &lt;em&gt;A Billion Wicked Thoughts&lt;/em&gt; than in what's cool about it: a bunch of fascinating facts about porn. A sampling:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Women look at Internet porn, but they're much less likely to pay for it.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ogas and Gaddam write,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;The most popular paysites featuring adult videos, including Brazzers,  Bang Bros, and Reality Kings, typically attract an audience that is  around 75 percent men. Of course, that does mean that one out of four  visitors is a woman — a minority, though a significant minority. But  when it comes to actually paying for porn, the gender gap widens into an  abyss. According to CCBill, the billing service most commonly used by  the online adult industry, only 2 percent of all subscriptions to  pornography sites are made on credit cards with women's names. In fact,  CCBill even flags female names as potential fraud, since so many of  these charges result in an angry wife or mother demanding a refund for  the misuse of her card.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h2&gt;MILFs are as popular as nineteen-year-olds.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's true that "youth" is one of the most popular search terms in  Internet porn. But when Ogas and Gaddam looked at searches for specific  ages, they found something interesting — while teens were indeed  popular, so were older women:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Though the popularity of adult women doesn't quite reach the  stratospheric heights of teens, it's worth observing that more men  search for fifty-year-olds than search for nineteen-year-olds. There is a  rather shocking number of searches for underage women, but you may be  equally surprised to discover there is significant erotic interesting in  sixty- and seventy-year-olds.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;The authors note, amusingly, that "almost no academic research has  been done investigating the appeal of MILFs." However, they speculate  that interest in MILF porn may have to do with the older performers'  perceived aggression and self-confidence, as well as their "large, round  butts."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Plenty of guys think grannies are hot.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;According to Ogas and Gaddam, "out of the 42,337 sites on the Alexa Adult List [a list of the most popular porn sites], 313 are &lt;em&gt;granny&lt;/em&gt;  sites." Such porn is especially popular in Britain — one "adult  industry veteran" says "there's a lot of interest in older ladies from  the Brits because when a lot of them were schoolboys they were spanked  or slapped or pinched by a schoolmarm." The authors quote a Granny Sex  Forum user named LoveSelsie, describing a new love interest: "She was  about 5 foot 5 inches tall and just a little fluffy. Her hair was gray,  short and straight. She was a very appealing lady and I wanted to get to  meet her." They add, "It's worth observing that LoveSelsie focuses on  the &lt;em&gt;visual&lt;/em&gt; attractiveness of GILFs, as do many other granny fans." Shocking indeed!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;More men search for fat women than for skinny ones.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ogas and Gaddam write,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Adjectives describing body size (such as "chubby" and "thin") are the  third most frequent category of adjectives appearing in Dogpile  searches. Are most of these searches seeking the slender bodies of cover  models? For every search for a "skinny" girl, there are almost three  searches for a "fat" girl. [...] On the Alexa Adult List, there are more  than 504 adult sites explicitly dedicated to heavy ladies (such as Fat  Tube, Sugar Fat Girls, and Hippo Girls), and only 182 explicitly  dedicated to skinny ones (such as Skinny Teens Naked).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, the authors also point out that "the majority of women in mainstream porn are skinnier than average."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Guys — even straight guys — love looking at dicks.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ogas and Gaddam cite an eye-tracking study finding that "men  consistently direct their gaze to the male crotch, though women rarely  do so." They also note that "out of the hundred top-rated images on  [adult content aggregator] Fantasti.cc, twenty-one feature close-up  shots of a penis." Surely some of these fans must be gay visitors, but  straight men like seeing penises too — and many prefer big ones:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are 1,072 Web sites in the Alexa Adult List that feature  heterosexual porn with large penises such as Monsters of Cock, Mr.Biggz,  and Teens Like It Big. The number of Alexa sites devoted to small  penises? Just three: PinkyDick, Little-Cock, and My Tiny Dick.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;And it's not just porn aficionados who are interested in other guys' dicks:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;[A]mong the Walbiri and Aranda people, when grievances need to be  settled, the men participate in what is known as the penis-offering  rite, which is said to represent "paying with one's life." Each man  presents his semi-erect penis to all the others, pressing it into each  man's palm and drawing it along the length of the upturned hand.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Trans women are popular in porn, and their audience is mostly straight dudes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;According to Ogas and Gaddam, "T-girl" is one porn term for "a  transsexual woman who has been treated with hormones so that she  possesses breasts and a female figure but still possesses a penis." The  authors say, "if you categorize the sites on the Alexa Adult List by the  names of the sites, then T-girl sites are the fourth most popular  category of adult Web site." Also, "'shemales' is the sixteenth most  popular sexual search on Dogpile, more popular than 'butts,'  'threesomes,' and 'interracial sex.'" So who's doing the searching? Ogas  and Gaddam quote Housekeeper, operator of several transsexual porn  sites:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;My main audience, and the audience for most shemale porn, are  straight dudes. That's how it's always been. I will say that all of the  visitors to transsexual sites are straight.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;They also quote a fan of T-girl porn: "I like her soft looks, sexy  body. Very nice long legs. And then there's that added bonus ... I can't  really explain why it affects me."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Rather than using these facts to make sweeping statements about the  difference between men and women, it's more useful to recognize that a  lot of the generalizations people make about desire, especially male  desire, just aren't true. At least in private, not all straight men are  looking for thin, young ciswomen — or even for ciswomen at all. And what  Internet porn can teach us is that while there may be some differences  in sexual preferences between genders, there's enormous variation &lt;em&gt;within&lt;/em&gt; them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/#%215794158/fascinating-facts-about-internet-sex"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;source: gizmodo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="post-body"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A blow by blow account. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5981901077535132103-3946564939221826476?l=speedweed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/feeds/3946564939221826476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/2011/04/pause-for-porno.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5981901077535132103/posts/default/3946564939221826476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5981901077535132103/posts/default/3946564939221826476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/2011/04/pause-for-porno.html' title='Pause for Porno'/><author><name>SpeedWeed</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06529719143384398537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-6jCcHfpD_s/S4Y1svZrPmI/AAAAAAAAANg/C_h2bxzeUZQ/s1600-R/image.php%3Fu%3D30004%26dateline%3D1267028163'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981901077535132103.post-4672306020232701945</id><published>2011-03-30T22:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-31T02:03:34.234-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DIE STRAWBERRIES!

            &lt;p&gt;Within days and sometimes hours of their introduction to the  media as PAP candidates, private pictures and even court documents have  been dug up and disseminated online, and forums lit up with debate and  speculation.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;Although the new candidates admit that the sound and fury of  cyberspace has taken them aback, they say they are trying to tune out  the most vicious comments and focus on working the ground for the coming  general election. &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;The two female candidates introduced thus far have been the subject of the most intense scrutiny online. &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;Pictures from the Facebook account of the PAP's youngest  female candidate, 27-year-old business consultant Tin Pei Ling, showing  her posing with a Kate Spade shopping bag or with her husband on  holiday, were posted on various websites and blogs.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;Netizens have also raged over her young age, and alleged  that her being fielded was due to her husband's position as principal  private secretary to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;In the case of Ms Foo Mee Har, the Standard Chartered  banker, an application for a bankruptcy order against a Mr Bernard Chan,  who netizens claim is her husband, has spread to various forums.&lt;/p&gt;             The fact that she became a Singaporean only in 2008 has also come under heavy fire online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_651390.html"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qfQ6A4gtbUM/TZQYPkJGuDI/AAAAAAAAAPo/1jzJJHcaBAE/s1600/mobile%2B20032011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Nothing is off limits as the station does not want to restrict its listeners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Samantha began her rant about heartlanders and their alleged invasion of Holland Village.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Oh gosh, I live in Holland Village and I just can't understand why people from the heartlands want to come here, because we people are cultured and you heartlanders are definitely not cultured.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEARTLANDERS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She went on to define heartlanders as people who lived in areas such as 'Ang Mo Kio, Yishun, Toa Payoh and 'the nearby Bukit Batok'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When asked how she could tell that somebody was a heartlander, she cheekily said that heartlanders were easily identifiable. She said they had no manners, talked loudly and wore cheap clothes 'like those you buy off Bugis Street'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of her qualms with heartlanders was that they liked to 'shove and push' everybody. She added that some Caucasians along Orchard Road had also complained of the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;91.3FM then opened the telephone lines once again and another woman, Maddy, called in to express her views.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She introduced herself as living in Bedok. To this, Samantha let out an audible 'Oh my God' in the phone exchange on radio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two argued for five minutes. Maddy defended heartlanders, stating that they are 'pretty much well-educated and pretty much carry themselves well'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Samantha refused to give in and said that heartlanders needed to stay were they were.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maddy asked her: 'Every heartlander earns their money, so why can't we go (to Holland Village)?'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this, Samantha questioned heartlanders' ability to afford the things that people in Holland Village enjoyed, such as a bowl of laksa, which she claims is more expensive in Holland Village than in Bedok.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deejay and host Rod Monteiro stopped the discussion due to time constraints, but that didn't stop other listeners from calling in throughout the day to express their amazement and anger at Samantha's comments. Not one caller supported Samantha and her comments in any way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The blogosphere also reacted strongly to the stories and many outraged netizens began to attack Samantha and her opinions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a day of reflection, Samantha decided to make the public apology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, it seems that this isn't enough for some listeners, who later called in and complained about the insincerity of Samantha's apology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr Monteiro admits that he was put off by Samantha's comments, but told The Straits Times Online that he did understand where she was coming from - a place of anger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Everybody says things they don't mean when they're angry...three hours later...they look back and ask themselves 'Did I really say that?' he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_649288.html"&gt;source:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She reminds me of the &lt;a href="http://xialanxue.blogspot.com/2006/10/rjc-girl-wee-shu-min-gets-slammed-by.html"&gt;Wee Shumin saga&lt;/a&gt; a few years back in 2006.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm sorry but her "outburst" on radio shows, shows she has absolutely no culture and obviously not rich enough.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Holland village does have have a nice bohemian feel to it, but it still an area with HDB flats nearby.

Speaking in a fake Asian language -- "Ohhhh. Ching chong ling long ting  tong" -- she chastised them notably for talking on their cellphones in  the library.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In America, we do not talk on our cell phones in  the library," she said in the three-minute clip, adding: "If you're  gonna come to UCLA, then use American manners."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She continued: "I  swear they're going through their whole families, just checking on  everybody from the tsunami thing. I mean, I know, that sounds horrible. I  feel sorry for all the people affected by the tsunami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But if  you're going to go call your address book, like you might as well go  outside, because, if something is wrong, you might really freak out and  you're in the libtary, and everybody's quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UCLA chancellor  Gene Block condemned the comments earlier in the week as "appalling" and  said the video did not represent the views of the university community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  her letter to the Daily Bruin Friday, the student said she was "trying  to produce a humorous YouTube video," but instead "offended the UCLA  community and the entire Asian culture."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am truly sorry for the hurtful words I said and the pain it caused to anyone who watched the video," she wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Especially  in the wake of the ongoing disaster in Japan, I would do anything to  take back my insensitive words. I could write apology letters all day  and night, but I know they wouldn't erase the video from your memory."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-AFP/wk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOGpGoEMu2s"&gt;Here's a really funny clip response on youtube.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span jsid="text"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that ignorant little "inappropriate hand to mouth gesture" probably didn't deserve to quit her education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But obviously she's too ignorant for her own good. She might as well post a video asking to bring slavery back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would probably might have been funny if she joked about it, just among her friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had the gall to post it online without considering the consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly not the sharpest knife in the rack, the lights are on, but no ones at home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5981901077535132103-6861733753821008168?l=speedweed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/feeds/6861733753821008168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/2011/03/us-student-quits-ucla-after-anti-asian.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5981901077535132103/posts/default/6861733753821008168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5981901077535132103/posts/default/6861733753821008168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/2011/03/us-student-quits-ucla-after-anti-asian.html' title='US student quits UCLA after anti-Asian video'/><author><name>SpeedWeed</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06529719143384398537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-6jCcHfpD_s/S4Y1svZrPmI/AAAAAAAAANg/C_h2bxzeUZQ/s1600-R/image.php%3Fu%3D30004%26dateline%3D1267028163'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3GhEnS2VXU/TYSBhAVG8NI/AAAAAAAAAOo/rU-SKfHP3dk/s72-c/phpoTkHWn.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981901077535132103.post-4281109710057229191</id><published>2011-03-15T06:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-18T01:00:13.642-07:00</updated><title type='text'>to "Lu" it may concern.</title><content type='html'>So you posted a picture of my friends, a couple at Cathay, made rude comments about the guy's appearance and my female friend's dressing. People you don't know and never spoken to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I commented and tried to be friendly, even though it was obvious you were insulting my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends are also on Facebook, the boyfriend saw on my news feed and asked me to pass his response. If you don't want people to see, you should seriously change your face profile privacy settings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You deleted the messages from my friend that I posted, and then you messaged me on msn, that it was inappropriate of me to post my friend's reply. So it was appropriate for you to sneak pictures of people, make rude remarks of them. But it was inappropriate of me to offer them a chance to respond to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you started ranting at me accusing "us", of being prejudiced against SPGs. You said: "We hate you because you're the SPG that all of us hate."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HELLO? My best female buddy also only prefers to date Caucasian men. I've got no problem nor quarrel with people's preferences, as long as they do not put down others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, you asked me to tell my friends that "you have a Caucasian boyfriend who is rich, earns more money than my friends will ever earn and stays in a Condo at Orchard Road, which my friends will never get to step into."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told you, I'll just remove you from my Facebook list, which I promptly did when I got home. Not because I'm embarrassed or anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth be told, I just feel sorry for you. I don't claim to be a Saint, I've done plenty of bad stuff that I'm not proud of. As you can note from my blog title. (Thank you captain obvious!) But I accept it as the past, for whatever reasons or motivations I had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're so insecure about yourself having a Caucasian boyfriend, who really might be the nicest guy in the world and treats you like a princess, treasures you and pampers you. But you had to talk about the "money and the condo".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So from your response, It's clear what's the real reason, you are with your boyfriend to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no issues with people wanting to marry rich, or looking for a rich boyfriend. Let's not kid ourselves, that the women just want the security of having a swimming pool filled with gold coins to swim in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not so different as a guy wanting sex and wanting a beautiful, hot, sexy, pretty girlfriend/wife. Again let's not kid ourselves, that the guy only wants to hold the beautiful hot sexy girlfriend/wife's hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're unhappy and afraid of about being judged as being an SPG, but you have no problems judging other people. So tell me, who died and made you the &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/SpeedWeed/64730.gif"&gt;bitch queen&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a problem with my friend's dressing as being obscene, yet you have no problems showing off your ample cleavage. You're being hypocritical, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like cleavage, most guys enjoy looking at it!  So are short shorts as long as the girl looks nice wearing them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know plenty of Caucasian expats who come here, have already heard stories from their friends who've been to Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Asian girls in certain clubs are easy, the women throw themselves at Caucasian expats." Just exactly like the Thai discos in Thailand, that everyone talk about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story is: "All a Caucasian guy has to do is to spend a little money in those clubs, the women will cozy up to them, and try to fuck their way into a relationship with them hopefully to get the guy to marry them." The Caucasian expats barely have to try. They get sex and company for the few years that they are here, and when the time comes to leave Singapore, some of them just head back home to their wives/gfs back in their home country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying all of them are like that, but plenty come here already with the impression, that they come here and immediately become "hot shit on a stick with rice" because the girls here are easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to give special note that: I've got nice Caucasian friends who met their soul mate here and got married.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess for the insecure people, the need to prove themselves to possess something, that they believe is better than others, to reassure themselves is pretty common. There are a multitude of reasons why people choose to be with, who they want to be with. It's kinda silly to ask others, what their opinion is because generally the more honest friends, might say things that you won't like to hear. ( duh.. then don't ask! )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you like it if Prince Charles asked you what you think of his "dream girl", that he ended his marriage for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you think he will like your answer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kinda sad that the "Pinkerton Syndrome" is still so common here in Singapore. I'm pretty sure there are rich successful guys from every country or ethnicity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't see any race or ethnicity as being superior in any way.&lt;br /&gt;Ok ok... maybe except for the &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/SpeedWeed/TheManTheLegend.jpg"&gt;average length of the male anatomy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far I've dated females from China, but mostly Singaporean females, one of which was of mixed ethnicity. (If i remember correctly she was half pinoy.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't mean I look down on the other women of any race/ethnicity.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I just don't get along with them.&lt;br /&gt;Heck!

It is dangerous, for I have a tendency overreact when I snap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excuses; for why not to do anything or something or to communicate my mind due to concerns about how other people feel or how people will react, gets me nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People in the world do things to you, only as much as you allow them to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should not be afraid to let the world feel and know who I am as a person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For too long I've invariably avoided looking at myself in the mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will continue staring into the mirror everyday, to make sure I become who I want to be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5981901077535132103-8675659924547379723?l=speedweed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/feeds/8675659924547379723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/2011/03/stare-in-mirror.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5981901077535132103/posts/default/8675659924547379723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5981901077535132103/posts/default/8675659924547379723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedweed.blogspot.com/2011/03/stare-in-mirror.html' title='Stare in the mirror'/><author><name>SpeedWeed</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06529719143384398537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-6jCcHfpD_s/S4Y1svZrPmI/AAAAAAAAANg/C_h2bxzeUZQ/s1600-R/image.php%3Fu%3D30004%26dateline%3D1267028163'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
