I don't think they look the same, but they look similar. I haven't been able to find any more pictures of this girl, so I am not sure if that is her real eye colour, or not. Adriana and... Cathrine Wilson.

I'm half Chinese, a quarter English and a quarter Welsh. In China I believe they prefer very slim, young-looking women with pale skin and a Eurasian look so that they have a mixture of white and Asian features. I don't know what the Welsh like, but in England the majority seem to like the extremely skinny (to the point of looking boyish) look, bright orange fake tan, huge breasts (at least DD), bleach blonde hair and fake square nails. Many people refer to this look as "goddess-like". :yuckky: TantrumXSpeed - You're right that they are not really mixed; most of the ethnicities listed in your post can be put under "caucasian".

That's disturbing seeing as he was 29 and I was only 12 at the time. O_O

I accept your apology. Even though it wasn't directed to me it still got to me because it sounded like a direct response; you kind of repeated what I had said and then said it was BS. I respect other's opinions, but not if they are saying other people's are BS. I know you're not, but it sounded as if you were. Chicken - I knew a teacher who was a jerk in secondary school, but he was good-looking so all the girls drooled over him. I felt like I was the only one who didn't and he freaked me out because he would always be staring at me in every lesson.

I don't know if that was in response to my post, but it sounded like it was, so I'm replying. Every single time people give their honest opinions and say that looks don't matter to them, it seems others assume they are trying to sound morally superior to everyone because saying they don't matter is the "good" thing to do, when most people are just being truthful. What is the point in trying to sound morally superior to a bunch of strangers on the internet? And why is it "bad" to need physical attraction? It seems even though I don't think that myself, other people think it themselves and put their own words in my mouth. I see nothing wrong with needing physical attraction unless you're very shallow and looks are the only thing you care about in a partner. Even though looks are important to most people, the personality is always more important because looks will fade with time and the personality is what will remain. A relationship does need attraction to survive earlier on, but if people like me become attracted to someone physically when we like their personality, you can't say our efforts of forming a relationship are pointless because there was no initial physical attraction. I guess my current relationship is also pointless since we met over the internet and it will never last even though he is the one person who I've met that is exactly what I've been looking for all my life and I'm the same to him. And if I remember rightly, a while ago you were getting very upset with people saying your relationship wouldn't last because you are young, yet now you are saying the same about other's relationships because it is based more on personality and not physical attraction. If you want people to respect your relationship and not act like they know exactly how it will go, don't do the same to others.

I think personality is a lot more important than looks and that initial physical attraction isn't vital for everyone. I can appreciate beauty, but looks honestly do not mean a thing to me in a partner. I fall for a personality, not a pretty picture. I've had crushes on fat guys, skinny guys, guys with big noses, guys with bat ears, guys with large-looking heads, guys with crooked noses, hairy guys, balding guys, guys with greying hair... how they look just doesn't matter to me. I get to know everyone (regardless of whether I find them physically attractive or not) and give them all a chance to get to know me before I even think of pursuing them and once I fall for their personality they become more physically attractive to me even if I did not find them attractive initially. That is just the way it works for me, unless they are extremely unhygienic and don't present themselves well at all. It is only natural for people to avoid those who look unhealthy because we can't get ill if we wish to survive and we definitely shouldn't mate with someone who looks unhealthy if we want strong children. That's why most people dislike entering extremely crowded places; it's not healthy and it's easier to catch something. Anyway, what makes me attracted to a person is their personality, goals/wants in life, beliefs, interests and life experiences. If they have the personality I like and all the other things I listed in common with me I will most likely start falling for them and once that happens physical attraction just keeps on increasing for me. Maybe I am just weird, I don't know.

I already know there are deceitful people out there; I learnt some valuable lessons from being in love with one of them for two years! This guy is different, though. If he was like the other guy he would not fly over to the other side of the world just to see me or be so understanding when I say that I am not ready to take the next step in the relationship. He would not worry when I am not online and spend the next few hours trying to call me because he forgot I said I would be going to the dentist. He wouldn't spend time writing me poems and stories for or about me. He wouldn't be willing to sacrifice his job (and he really loves his job) just to be with me... I am positive this guy is not being deceiving. Particularly if he just wanted to get in between my legs; he would've tried for that ages ago if that was all he wanted and wouldn't have spent so much time, effort and money on me. I am quite shy and I know that he has been incredibly patient in helping me open up a bit more. Thank you for looking out for me and wishing me the best. I really appreciate it. And I am 20 and he is 29. I get along with him a lot better than I do with guys my age because not only do we have common interests, we also have the same beliefs, morals/values, wants/goals in life and life experiences (despite the age difference). Most people my age (not just guys) are very different from me in all of those areas. We have nothing in common interests-wise, they tend to think I am weird for my beliefs, think I'm "sad" for having the morals I do, don't have any real goal in life and have had very different experiences in life because they are so different from me overall. Miss Latina - Sorry for messing up your thread and going off-topic! I guess something more on-topic would be this one time when my boyfriend and I went to a shoe store. I had been wearing the wrong shoe size for several years because of some dumb sales assistant measuring my feet all wrong. Anyway, when I was trying on the shoes, he held my foot and showed me how he knew I was wearing the wrong size and he found me the right one. There were three girls watching us through the window and they really glared at me! They must've been jealous I have a man who pays attention to what I am trying on and makes sure I get the right size, let alone a man who is willing to go shopping with his girl. Maybe that is not romantic, but I thought it was very sweet.

Figleaves <-- I don't shop there much though because like many UK shops, a lot of their stuff is ridiculously expensive. La Redoute Kays Next

My boyfriend and I have only spent one week together in real life because it is a long distance relationship. He will be here for three weeks this Christmas, though! I can't wait! Even though distance is a bit of a problem, he has still done romantic things for me; he always writes me funny articles to read, leaves me e-mails about how much he loves me and how beautiful he thinks I am. When we were together in real life he took me out to dinner and he would always hold my hand, stare into my eyes and tell me that I am the best thing that has ever happened to him. When we met in real life (we met on a forum) I couldn't believe it because he is exactly the man I have been waiting for all my life and I told him it felt so surreal; like a dream because he was so perfect for me. And he just held my hand, put it onto his chest so I could feel his heartbeat and said, "I'm real". Then I started crying.

It's Raquel Jaramillo. That's her in my avatar too, but it doesn't show up very well.

I used to have mine from anywhere between 7 to 13 days and it sucked because I was also in a lot of pain and it was completely unpredictable as to when I would start. Now that I'm on the pill it is usually only 4 or 5 days and it always starts on a Tuesday, though there can be a bit of annoying spotting. Mine should be over, soon. Yay, no more waking up in the middle of the night with a stupid fever!

Had mine not too long ago. I was 19 and we were lying on the bed where my boyfriend was staying (he lives in Canada, but he was here for his job). I was just staring at him thinking that I really wanted to kiss him, but I was shy to make the first move and I was afraid of messing up. He read my mind, though and then he leant forward and started kissing me. And apparently I am a very good kisser. LOL

Thanks everyone.

Natalie - It's not true. If it was, all the models in the world would be bald because they have so much done to their hair.

Yep! And that's exactly what I plan to do when I go to Rhodes at the the end of July; my doctor even said that having your period in a place as hot as Greece is a very nasty thing.

I'll be starting in a few days. Oh and I finally managed to ask my doctor about skipping a period (by going straight onto your next pack of pills instead of having seven pill-free days/non-active pills) and she says it doesn't hurt or anything as long as you don't make it a habit; if you skip your period all the time it will take away the calcium from your bones and you'll develop osteoporosis.

Mine isn't, even when I exercise for a few minutes every day. And did you know that during the few days before your period your muscles and ligaments get softer because of the change in the amount of hormones? This means that exercise might not be the best idea just before your period; you can sprain muscles and hurt yourself more easily.

This series has only just started over in England and Naima was my favourite right from the beginning. I'm glad to know that she won. =D I completely agree that a lot of the girls look bland when they're posing. I know I haven't seen all of this series, but every episode of America's Next Top Model they never really do anything with their faces in the photo shoots. It's always hooded eyes, part your lips, maybe tilt your head back a tiny bit. They pose their body, but they don't pose their face. They just copy the "R&B video girl"/"Playboy ho" look and I find it really boring. Sure, they can get across some emotion with their eyes, but it would be a lot more interesting if more of them tried being more adventurous with their facial expressions.

Out of the pics you posted, I think my eyebrows are most like Rianne ten Haken's, only mine are jet black. If I could have anyone's eyebrows it would definitely be Alessandra's, but my eyebrows are positioned too high and they aren't very thick. I used to have those nasty plucked-too-thin eyebrows, but luckily I realised how awful it looked when I saw a photo of myself.

I have to agree with Sweetpea; not only is it gross (like having a vibrating cork up your butt when you have diarrhoea 24/7 :x ), but I don't understand how vibration will make it more comfortable. It's like a guy getting stabbed in the eye and then someone comes over and says "Hey! Maybe if I jiggle it around a bit, it won't be so uncomfortable!" Well, maybe not that stupid, but you get the point... Vibrating tampons being more comfortable doesn't really make any sense. Sure, it might ease the cramps in your womb, but it won't make it more comfortable. Plus, I don't like the idea of having something constantly wiggling inside me for 4/5 days straight, that would just be weird.

This thread just reminded me of something that upset me the other day. A friend I know told me that he won't look twice at a woman who doesn't wear make-up every day. Why is that? Well, he believes that any woman who doesn't slap a load of make-up on her face every morning is not a "lady", she is sloppy, inelegant and doesn't take care of herself properly. I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions on what he said. I think it is unfair that he judges women like this based upon whether they wear make-up daily or not and it upsets me that a man would rather look at a palette of powder and pigmented whale fat than a real woman. I think it is unfair because I myself do not wear make-up, yet I exercise, eat healthy, exfoliate, tone and moisturise my skin, make sure my nails look nice (without nail varnish; I always get asked where I get my manicure done, when I've never had one in my life!), keep my hair soft and shiny, buy nice clothes to wear, etc. All this and more and yet just because I don't wear make-up everyday, I am labelled as "a sloppy, inelegant and unlady-like person who doesn't take care of themselves". Don't get me wrong, I don't mind dressing up for special events and I have nothing against women who are okay with wearing make-up everyday, I just felt that what my friend said was cruel and judgmental.

I really hate it when guys don't understand your need to be alone when you are depressed because of PMS. -_- I tell them I don't feel like talking and want to be alone and even though they've never ever experienced what I'm going through, they think they know best and tell me I have to talk to them because that's the only way to make me feel better. <_< I think I have more knowledge of what's best for me when I've been experiencing PMS every month for the past 4 years.
