Well yes, its just that sometimes it doesnt matter if you are in it - what matters is that others around you are in it...

Its easier of course to deal with it in your private life that one can make clean cuts - not that easy though in professional life or scholastic life when you are part of a group that views you not exactly as you perceive yourself.

Gossip is natural and a part of life - what is important is not to be thrown by it - its impossible to flyswat it to extinction imo. Just make sure it doesnt get in your head.

Women are generally hard to deal with for adolescent/young men as they mature (much) faster than men and are far more pragmatic as to what they want and like and what they dont and this sometimes goes to the extreme and becomes almost cruelty.

Its best in general to wait for women that are clearly interested in you, instead of trying to get women that you are desperately interested in them. Just be patient - women are like buses: none comes for ages and then suddenly they come in twos and threes ...

Best of luck.

Hmmm.... my trick to get girls is to focus more on who wants me, rather than who I want...

and then I work hard to make everyone want me!

No. They're still immature, the only difference is that both men and women think that women are more mature when it comes to this sort of thing. The truth is that they are just as immature, just that they're trying not to look it. This is why women around that age tend to appear cruel - because they haven't matured more than men, not in the slightest.

I disagree with you EMFM - there is good reason why everyone thinks they are more mature. Women tend to know by 16 what men understand by 36 in general - after that its fair game, i agree.

Women are better managers, far more reliable decision makers, more resilient, more self knowledgeable and more practical. Until their 30's men are generally hopeless; confused, insecure or by contrast arrogant and egoitistical - which are basically the two sides of the same coin. Men generally rationalise life using the conscious mind (ie the RAM) and end up with the short end of the stick as life often defies logic while women use their insticts and intuition that is the subconscious (ie the CPU) that are infinitely more powerful devices of perception.

I think that their prospective role as mothers plays a part in all these qualities being formed earlier in women. Having the responsibilities of raising younglings is a role so crucial that it can be entrusted only to the very best.

This doesnt make them kinder or saintly - its maturity and life "wisdom" that we talk about here.

What kind of women do you hang out with?

What in the world makes you compare that to RAM and CPU? The comparison is flawed about as badly as it can be - the two are both unrelated to the original subject, and are related to each other in a different way than the primary example.

This is an internet forum, everything can be compared to computer components, everything.

Now firmly grasp the RAM stick, and gently, with both hands, insert it into the waiting slot. Use enough force that it mades a satisfying sound once it has beem rammed home. Then repeat.

Now, if you have a capacitor leak, you must be very careful...

And remember to get a firm, sticky connection between the CPU and the heatsink. A sweaty paste of thermal goop helps seal them, allowing heat to throb between the components. Don't press them together too hard, mind.
