IS SHE REALLY GOING OUT WITH HIM?!



Is she really going out with him is a great song, but how often do you hear the same lament? “Everyone I like only likes jerks.” “I’m smart and funny. Why doesn’t anyone want to be with me?” “Why is she with him?” How often have you heard or said that yourself?

The world of dating has changed significantly from your Mom and Dad’s apple pie Norman Rockwell scene. No longer do people regularly go steady through High School to marry their sweetheart after college. In fact the average person gets married at 26, followed two years later by a divorce. With the plight of older women and men fighting to meet Mr or Miss Right before biology takes over, there is an increasing amount of pressure on the single today.

With that in mind, let’s broach the subject of those folks who are nice and perpetually single. You know the type. That sweet friend of yours who seems to always be single no matter how desirable they may be. That nice guy who brings flowers to a first date and opens all doors. That sweet funny girl who lost her most recent boyfriend. We love them, but only as friends, and we want to see them happy. Or maybe that sweet funny person is you.

A Rough View of How You View Relationships – The Poem



Lets be friends!Today you have something special coming up,
For The Reasoner has prepared for you a special poem treat,
To share with you how you or others often view relationships.
So please relax, enjoy, and have a seat!

Sometimes you wish all you friends were those you really knew,
Everyday you find out the ones you can trust are only a very few,
If you had known the close friend was close for things other than friendship,
You may not have gotten close only to find you were the means to another objective.

What if the desire to be famous really blinded you and your eyes?
What if you already had the feeling that all the smiles were hiding those little destructive blinds?
What if you did all of the bad things to your own self, thinking it was someone else’s fault sometimes?
What if you felt all right through it, even knowing beforehand the journey might be comforting at times?

Maybe you thought you had a cause!

7 Signs You Are A Stereotypical Man



7 Signs You Are A Stereotypical Man

Chug down those beers, guy, and answer this: Are you a stereotypical man?

Gender bias is perhaps the biggest issue and the longest running problem in the history of the human race. We definitely live in a male dominated society. Almost every ad that does not contain a female specific product contains a female sex object or symbol of some kind in order to attract males into buying that product. It is still a new concept in America to have female leaders, even though England, Pakistan, Germany, India, Iceland and Argentina have had female leaders or a have history of being socially acceptable and fully accountable to the idea of having female leaders. Such mainstream populations which accept a female leader are in very short supply, however.

The mainstream societies around the world, including huge populations even in the countries listed above, focus on the idea of the man being in charge and the women either serving the role of a sex desire or being the sole care taker of the house and the bearer of the future species. A man has to take care of the species, and a man also has to live a life in freedom. All the major religions of the world today promote the idea of male prophets and a male leader. You are trained, told and forced to get cars and tools growing up as a boy, and you are trained, told and forced to get Barbie, cooking utensils and sewing machine toys when you grow up as a girl. Anything that the male dominated society can do to create more male-oriented men and more submissive females is already being done.

So today we are going to focus on the 7 signs that make men stereotypical. These are the 7 signs that show you are a stereotypical man, and how you are that part of the species which serves no purpose other than to procreate. Maybe someone out there can identify such a sign in themselves or others and focus on changing or avoiding such traits or people.

10 Reasons People Hate You On Facebook



The Reasoner: 10 Reasons People Hate You On Facebook

Do People Hate You On Facebook?

Facebook is considered the most popular and widely used social networking site in today’s world. The closest competitors, Twitter and MySpace, both have already drawn a lot of criticism because of the annoying things people can do on those two networks. People get criticized a lot for tweeting too much on Twitter, and people get blocked on MySpace for having backgrounds that give other people seizures and vision problems. Facebook is no different when it comes to getting people hated for their annoying habits.

With anything that becomes popular with the mainstream communities comes the chance of a lifetime: make people hate you! Like email, Facebook can be used properly and Facebook can be abused in order to gain something. Some people abuse other Facebook users by spamming them with money-making program links and messages, while others abuse their contacts through inappropriate tags. In the end, you can easily annoy other people and make them hate you by doing some specific things.

So today, let us go through the Facebook journey of losing your face among your Facebook friends and contacts. You and I are going to explore the 10 reasons, or ways, you make people hate you on Facebook.

Can You Fall In Love With Someone Online?



What is love? There is usually not a single universal answer to such a question. Every living creature feels a different attachment to the idea of love. Some people fall in love in order to love, and some people love in order to fall in love. Some people break up in order to love, and some people start being together in order to love. Today, we focus on the idea of loving someone you have never met physically in person. Today, we focus on the idea of loving someone that you may not be able to touch directly. In this article, we focus on the concept of love and people online, with the people online meaning people you have never yet met in person physically in the offline world.

Today, we ask the question: Can you fall in love with someone online?

Thought: You’re stupid, or do you know Stupid Online People?



It probably happens to you every single day. Random online people add you left and right, wanting to show off to the rest of the world that they know you. You probably also add such online people, wanting to show the world that you have a lot of online contacts. While having a lot of online contacts feels very good, you sometimes pay a very strange price to be able to feel that good: the price of knowing Stupid Online People, SONP. Such a price usually offsets the good feeling, and can also overshadow it. Today, my thoughts are revolving around the concept of knowing Stupid Online People, and how such knowledge of the existence of such contactship affect our lives.

Among many other reasons, there are good, weird and bad reasons to meet people online. Today, I would like to think and focus on the idea of running into stupid people online and how running into the stupidly bad type of people, can be analyzed or thought about. In this article, I am focusing mainly on the stupid bad and ewwy people, and not the good, weird, or other types of online people. (more…)

Top 43 signs you are obsessed with your cell phone



sprint-htc-tpWhat’s your number?” You probably hear that everyday. Or every other day. Or every other year . Online, offline, and in the dreams, someone somewhere is probably asking someone or something his/her/its cell phone number every second. Cell phone is like a necessity for many people today. You carry a small electronic device with you on which you can get calls from or make calls to anyone in this world who has a phone or something similar. You use it for many things like calling someone, setting up alarms, texting people, browsing the internet, listening to music, taking pictures, working on documents, looking at it while holding it with both hands to pretend you are busy, and more. Today, I would like to focus on your overall interest level in your cell phone. I will share with you some of the strange habits or trends that can signify your obsessions with your cell phone.

Cell phones are so common today that simply talking about them in terms of being a technology that is harmful to depend on raises not only a lot of heads but also creates a lot of confusion in people: “Why would a cell phone be harmful?” Using a cell phone has caused a lot of people to change their habits in strange ways, and many of such strange ways are so strange that they must be strange for strangeness itself in many cases. A few years ago I told you about webcam obsessions. Webcams have become so common that almost majority of all the new laptops today come with one built in. Today, let us dive into the concept of cell phone obsession, since cell phones are almost on the verge of becoming so common that anyone without a cell phone may find themselves being pointed out in public in the near future.

Thoughts: 12 brief signs that you are obsessively desperate for any relationship



Relationships. Relationships. And more relationships. You probably experience different kinds of relationships every single day, or maybe every other month. You may like someone, and you may hate someone. Someone may like you, and someone may hate you. A relationship could be a professional one, or it could be an unprofessional one. It could be stereotypically stereotypical as a professional and unprofessional relationship, and it could be a combination of everything and be unstereotypical. In this article I would like to focus a bit on people who are desperate to be in any relationship, so desperate that their entire focus is to be in a relationship instead of on the other person.

In relationships, regardless of their nature, you may feel lonely or you may feel the exact opposite of loneliness, among many other things. The first part of my article series about bad relationship trends titled "Bad trends that hurt relationships – Part 1" focused, among other things, on some specific trends that hurt existing, new and potential relationships. The 12 points below focus briefly on signs, or traits, that may classify you as being desperate in and for a relationship, which could be the main driving force behind a person’s interest in being in any relationship.

I have been noticing some recurring trends of desperation for a while in different people I have met in person and online for a long time now. I decided to collect my thoughts and list 12 of the many basic signs of desperate-traits that define and lead the way for bigger characteristics in such people.

Bad trends that hurt relationships – Part 1 – 1-sided responsibility, no appreciation, & no focus



I would like you to please do something for me at this very moment: please take a few moments to look at yourself in a mirror or a puddle of water [maybe mud if you abuse relationships], or simply try to feel or imagine what you may look like. Whatever you are, you are the result of some form of a relationship. Whether it was a relationship based on 20 years of trust or 20 minutes of alcohol or genetic research in a secret lab hidden from anti-clone people, you are the result of some form of a relationship. You yourself may have so far encountered relationships of many kinds every single day, or from time to time. This article is the beginning of a series that focuses on harmful relationship trends which may seem unrelated, but are in reality the main causes of many things that make some or all participants of such relationships unhappy.

Having gone through some strong personal relationships of all kinds myself that ended in a lot of teddy bears being crushed by cars and a bicycle, I have had this idea for many years ago to write some of the things you are about to read. It was not until a few days ago that I thought of writing this post after talking to someone online who seems to have gone through some similar things also. I would like to introduce you to this relationship series, where I will talk about several different trends that can result in unhappiness and even mental or physical abuse for some of the participants.
