The human brain isn't really designed to multi-task. Unlike every other human activity, one actually becomes worse at multi-tasking the more they practice. I can't read/write and do other things either, although it has more to do with being dyslexic than an inability to multi-task. Typically...

When introverts read or have earbuds in in a public place, they're trying to send the message that they want to be left alone. When extraverts do it, they're trying to convey the message: I'm good at keeping myself entertained, but I'd much rather be talking to someone. The behavior looks...

^ Oh! Well, um... don't go out into the garage. You... don't want to see what they're doing in there. That kind of thing can't be unseen. I'll be in the garage if anyone needs me.

Well, we make INTJs do kegstands first, so you're somewhat safe. :D However, once the beer bong comes out anything goes.

We're going to all come over to your place for an impromptu party without calling first, then we'll start introducing you to others as "my friend" five minutes after meeting you. You'll be powerless to stop it because to do so would be mildly awkward!!!

^ There's two of us now! We're going to start doing weird extravert things like starting a conversation when you're trying to read a book or have your ear buds in and continue talking to you even though you're dropping polite hints that it's nothing personal, but you'd really like to be left...

There's a difference between being unwilling to compromise, and being unwilling to give in. The OP agreed to not date anyone new, and that wasn't enough for Dan, and then she offered to see Joe only once a month, and that still wasn't enough for Dan. She isn't the one who is unwilling to...

Thanks.

Usually I like to completely read a thread before responding, but I really wanted to comment on this so I skipped over a few posts. So, I apologize if I'm not bringing anything new to the discussion. First of all, what does Joe think of this? I'm guessing you probably haven't discussed it...

I'm out and always have been, but that's not true of others I've been involved with. One time, when I was visiting an ex and her primary boyfriend, they were very clear that they are not out to all but a handful of people. The ex's daughter and their roommate were not in that handful, and that...

I couldn't find anything in the FAQ or a quick thread search regarding name changes; whether or not it's allowed, and what the procedure is if it is. (Yes, I read the FAQ and User Guidelines before I registered and I refer to them from time to time. I'm the only one. Do I get a trophy for...

What the hell does logic have to do with romantic relationships? I'm saying this as someone who turned to polyamory because it seemed logical. By which I mean, based on my personality, personal values, and wants and needs in a relationship, it makes more sense than alternatives. I do not mean...

It's probably best to recognize dumbasses for what they are and laugh at them for being dumbasses rather than take them seriously. Are you having sex with people in exchange for money? If yes, then you are a whore. If no, then you are not one. What is and is not a slut is a little more...

If I come here and start "I need help with this" threads, I pretty much need to be told "this is going to end badly." I generally ask for advice in one of two circumstances: 1: I can't figure out the problem and I might be overlooking something; 2: I have figured out the problem, I don't like...

This touches on one of the bigger problems with "The Code," and its very nature. Everyone has their own version of "The Code," but many think their version is the "correct" version and universal. This allows people who feel wronged to change a disagreement into a more serious violation of...

I don't like being in closets. It's dark in there, fairly cramped, and there may be spiders. Being out, no one cares really. The worst I've gotten is stuff along the lines of "I don't approve, but I'm not going to tell you how to live your life." It's quite annoying. I've prepared several...

If I weeded out everyone that didn't get my jokes, there probably wouldn't be anyone left. According to the graph thing based on my answers to questions, it says I'm very aggressive and have a lot of sexual experience. I'm a smart ass and occasionally cocky, but I am not aggressive. As for...

That's probably true of at least half of the questions where I provided explanations, as well as most of my profile. Those dice get everywhere, don't they?

Not a message, but one of the questions and how I responded. (I just joined.) Have you ever tried any sexual roleplaying, such as student/teacher or patient/nurse? Yes, on occasion. I have to be in the mood. Explain your answer: I tried it once, but it didn't work out too well. The character...

This is precisely why I hate online dating when I've tried it in the past. In part because I found myself doing it. Despite that, I just signed up. Last time I tried online dating I was mono (in theory, anyway), things might go differently this time. Hmm, lots of attractive poly people in...
