You don't have any friends.
----------------------------------------------------
You are on 16
Friend Lists
Sorry I am on 70 friends list now.Never know so many people liked me.
Now look very carefully at the data this thread has thus far amassed. What is the seemingly most important conclusion you can draw?
Huh Cancer??? English translation please? Uhm that alot of people have alot more friends then they think they do...
BTW have 23 on my list and I'm on 27
Keep your friends close and your enimies closer... a friend in need is a friend indeed.... and to try and answer Cancer... There's whole lot a love on this site... a very friendly place... i think we should nominate Cancer for a Nobel prize peace award.... for bringing all these lovel,y like minded people together... *applauds*
each and everyone of us is different with many different personalities and thats what draws us together to chat and spend a lovely time...
...now put us all in a house together for about 3 months.....
we'll see how long we'll be lovely to eachother....
lol
but i still got love for y'all though =)
Okay...
There's a common theme evolving here. What is it?
I'm not going to reveal it until someone else puts it forth.
It's a crucial statement about human nature.
Damn my slow thinking... i have got it!!! YOU SHOULD ASK A PERSON IF YOU CAN ADD THEM, BEFORE YOU DO...
*shakes water of the brain*
The addition of your Friends list as a whole? without that we would not know....
the power of the rave?
wow now im just hurting my brain LoL
I'm going back in time to answer this and to quote a great man "For Aristotle, ethics is essentially the art of living well. This can only be achieved by those who have friends, because friendship provides the ideal conditions for the successful pursuit of excellence. In this essay, I will try to explain why, according to Aristotle’s account of ‘the good life’ in his Nichomachean Ethics, human friendship is necessary in order to ‘live well’. I will begin by investigating what Aristotle means by the ethical life, and what he means by friendship. I will then show how true, or ‘complete’ friendship is an essential part of what Aristotle calls ‘the good life’".
It is neither good nor bad. It simply is. It is a reflection of human nature. The data in this thread just further proves it.
I'll help you out - point you in a direction. Look at all the statistics in this thread. What is the commonality?
I am well versed on Aristotle and his teachings. However I will give you another clue. The answer has nothing to do with friends or friendship.
More people have more friends on 'who's list are you on'
and less on their friends list.. if that makes sence
You're heading in the right direction... But you need to further chisel your statement into something that reflects upon our human nature.
I have 13 and Im on 13 friends lists, although it doesn't really prove anything about me or any of us. OIt doesn't really matter but theres an answer ;-) x
We are, at heart, voyeurs. But we dont' want anyone else to know that. The common theme here is that people seem to want to "check up" on others more than they want to socialize with them. I have 14 peopleon my list, all of whom I chat with regularly. Conversely, there are 38 people out there who seem to want to know when I'm online, or maybe they just like looking at my picture.
Or, we can look at it from a different angle: maybe there are a lot of people who feel that if they have a lot of others on their friends list that they actually HAVE that many friends.
OR: It seem that the ladies have more stalkers than the men.
A side thought: If there was a function on the site that listed who had you on their friends list, I imagine you'd start seeing the numbers drop dramatically.
Heheh, see what I get for throwing a big handful of mental darts at the target?
Welcome to the Great Vampire Social Experiment! Woohoo!
LOL....I see y'r point Cancer...(not meaning to offend any males out there) it's true, of course I just wonder as well then, how many males would have females on their lists if there were no pictures involved...it's human nature for women to want to show their bettr sides...so you rate a male and they see who's rated them, if it clicks to them then they automatically send a message back, or they are all of a sudden wanting to cyber with the females...are they not taking into consideration, that yes while some females are here to "hook up" there are many out there who just like talking with and meeting new people with common intrest's...I'm sure there are alot of females who go through the same thing...
BTW Jason...y'r right, we just wanna know when y'r sexy a** is online so we can harrasse you LOL (p.s. be happy to know I have yet to add you to my list LOL) :^)
That's another expanse between the sexes. Women don't have the same sexual drive and actually sometimes talk to a man without the base desire of sex. Men don't understand this completely either.
Women, it is very important for you to understand (understand the response, not the actual drive) that everything a man does in relation to a woman is about sex. With the exception of mom ;)
i can't see the wood for the tree's *grins*... that was a great responcce .. simplicity is complex in its self..
LOL ain't that the truth....I'm so glad that you will explain y'r self Cancer, b/c sometimes I have to read y'r post two or three times to understand....ie. I'm not one of the book smart ones around here....though I do love to read and learn LOL :^*
just wondering... Maybe we could have a Bite counter also? bitten by # of females and # men.... i've been bitten by at least 3 men!!
LOL @ the exception of mom comment....it'd be kinda sad if mom wasnt an exception...although....ever heard of the oedipus complex?....both men and women during childhood are attracted to their mom and dad according to Freud...
but that is not true for everyone, thank god Freuds studies are not entirely supported by the developmentalists, since Freud's theories were mainly based on the upper middle class of Austria, mostly males.....
*eeek*
I only have two people on my friends list, but thats because I haven't added all my other friends here.
I'm on three peoples friends list though.
Sorry Cancer, my wording on the previous post left something to be desired.. (Re: Friends List...

Jason, the answer is your third response.
Your first response is impossible. Mathematically speaking, everyone can't be on more Friend lists than the total of their personal lists.
On this part.. i ment to say.. for example.. i have got say 7 friends on my list
But i am on 16... so it's a ratio of 7 / 16...
most people tend to have less people on their list ie 7.. and they tend to be on more peoples lists (16) than they have themselves,, i hope that clears up my err.
*looks at Dhapir's post*
0_o
i hate math....
*walks away to do calc h.w*
I have thirty "friends" on my list and I'm on half of that number...
Dhampir,
Well, mathematically, it's a balanced equation. As an example:
Dick has 3 Friends and is on 2 Lists
Jane has 2 Friends and is on 2 Lists
Spot has 2 Friends and is on 3 Lists
Sparky has 3 Friends and is on 3 Lists
So 10 personal list entries and 10 lists on.
I could break it down further, and show the lists... But it'd be monotonous.
So for all you people out there who are on more lists, there is someone who is your opposite... On fewer lists.
It has to balance out. In order for you to *be* on another list, someone has to have you in *their* list.
If you still don't get it, think about it this way:
If everyone on the site put everyone on their list, everyone would have a 1-1 ratio... And here again each side of the equation is equal.
LMAO...yeeeeahhh makes perfect sense...JK...actually I do unerstand it....men are hot and horny...they see picture of woman they think is good looking, they send PM hitting on them, woman responds with niceity (sp?) so man thinks that's an invatation to hit on them more...so as not to loose this "beauty" they add them to their list...woman says "hello" being polite, doesn't have much intrest in man so they therefore does not add them to list, hoping they will take the hint when they don't respond much more...they don't add them to their list, yet man still has them on their list....that's just the way it is fella's, women tend to be more picky with who we/they keep ongoing converstaions with...sorry can't help it, it's just a fact of life....
This is a great time to, once again, shamelessly pimp my profile. The first link listed if for a site called Intellectual Whores. Before you go off saying "HEY! He said whore! I'm not a whore!" Go check out the site. It shows the relationship between woman and men that Cancer is speaking of and breaks it down pretty well. While you're there, take the time to read up on the Ladder Theory and about why Bethoven was a pimpin fool!
*taps her lip in thought*
so basically whats being said is .. I'm being stalked by approx. 16 males and I'm still a shrewd antisocial bytch that wont have any friends on my list cuz it amuses me *nods* sounds fair to me lol
Okay sooooooo.. I just glanced over to check to check my friends list.. and I suck ( pun intendid.. hehe) I have 1 friend and am on 1 persons friend list.. lol Wow I never realized how anti-social I am .. lol
Y'r also just a little Mosquito...*raises hand and slaps down on arm, there now I got ya* NO, NO, NO, I'm just teasing hon...I would never swat anyone who didn't ask to be swatted that is...LOL
Give it time, the longer you are here the more "friends" you will have... :^* *hugs and kisses ya*
Cancer is correct in the respect that men are normally driven by sex more so than women.
I believe he is incorrect however in his observation that everything men say and do in regards to a woman is motivated entirely by sex. Perhaps I suffer from a low level of testosterone, but one thing I hold to be far more important and valuable than sex is the acquisition of knowledge, and I know a number of very bright women with whom I interact regularly purely in the interest of sharing ideas and experiences because I respect their intelligence and admire their mind, the beauty of which infinitely exceeds it's physical host.
For the record, my testosterone level is fine, thank you, heh. I believe it has to do more with the fact that since the age of reason I have operated purely upon logic. Don't get me wrong though. There's plenty of room in my logic structure for indulging in the more superficial, it is just simply not at the forefront of my mind.
It shows there is also an age concept as well as the male/female thing. I have had one person add me! RAR! NO idea, where that came from but I am sure it didn't derive from Jason's whoring skills! That was some website Jason, thanks for pointing it out man.
I keep telling yiou nicnivian...I am NOT stalking you...just because I have lifesize pics of you postering all the walls of my house and collections of your dryer lint and go through your garbage...and......and....and.....hehehehhehehe
but seriously I talk frequently with at least 14 of the 17 ppl in my friends list.....some of them I talked semi frequently with before the existence of the rave......and a few of those I spoke with often for years before I ever saw their pic...but on the same note....yes as a man I an more likely to give an attractive woman mroe attention....it is after all just in my nature.
*grins* Love that terminology.. potential mating partner...
† Ð †
I am on 23 friends lists, and I have 13 on my list.
Maybe I am not really searching for the same thing as everyoe else, I dont know.
Throwing around the word mating kind of rubs my fur the wrong way. I mean, mating is another term for procreation, but to me (yes even though I know we're all speaking in generalities but I'm still making my opinion known) mating is a life long sort of thing. Mating, love, sex, f***ing, all have slightly different meanings in my book. And I hardly think that the majority of males are driven by precreation. Sex yes, procreation, no.
If every male was driven by such it would mean they felt a need to continue the rise of the population, rather then the need to have their sexual needs fulfilled, all the males I know are driven by the later than the former.
But then again I am female, naive, and have an odd grasp on life, so perhaps I am the one that is in the wrong with my thinking and opinions...
Procreation is the underlying drive, even though most men don't realize it. This has nothing to do with child rearing.
This drive was instilled by nature. It's a necessity in order for any species to survive.
I'm sorry you don't like the terminology of mating, but technically, it's correct.
we all need to get laid. Don't point the finger at just one person.
there you go, well said Deity...
but yeah, mating....no other word for it....
procreating lies within our subconscious whether we like it or not. it is instilled in our desires and instincts...
did i make sense?
I do love how the threads start slowly and build with the speed of a fire... Men do have trouble being *just friends* with women, it not only involves the need to procreate as Cancer stated but I feel Cancer that you left out the other equal half of that equation, the male Ego! Whether the man actually accomplishes his goal or not his ego drives him to try and risk the failure.
* stick tongue out at Hellchild* neener neener Im a shadow now... *sigh* well the excuse of being a newbie is gone... lol dont threaten me with an all good swat!! lol
ROFLMFAO @ CountessMoon Oh no now y'r a shadow...eh at least I'll never see ya when you come bitting....lol
i would have to say that i have 40-50 on mine, all of which i talk to once and a while. not all of them are always on, and i am on 65 friends lists
hehe Demi........ I think me being a shadow would be a lil scarier.. You never know what I might achieve in the darkness -evil laugh- mwaaaa hahahahahahahahaha
so if everyone pointed there fingers at me does that mean I'm next and win the prize?
Heh I totally understand what cancer means .. the need and drive of sexual desire is very high in a man .... *laughs* but wait till ya have one that gets her pregnant .. then is apperntly scared to death of sex!
Could be worse, Cancer, we could be using terms like "rut."
I have 3 on my list and I am on 9
I dont talk much......and barely anyone talks to me....so its cool
lol Okay so I went on this massive posting spree and I have a new friend .. how cute is that!!!? lol and I also moved up to a marplot.. so people better start adding me or I am going to throw a tantrum! lol
I have 25 ppl on my mates list and (supposedly lol ) on 42 ppl's list's which is nice
I'm up to 11 stalkers, go me.
/me gets CountessMoon a teddy for that tantrum :P
I looked at my friends list, and my friends list is friends; friends that I like to talk to, not sex. Each of them is exceptional.
I would have several other friends on my ideal friends list because I admire them and value their opinions. They are, however, to busy to pester.
I strongly support your theory Cancer, however, there's one anomaly not talked about...or briefly touched. A person being attracted to another of the same sex. Where would this theory come into play here? I'm just making an inciteful maybe even debatable...thought out loud.
*raises eyebrow in anticipation of response*
well, im guessing that not everyone here is attracted to the same sex. He did mention the few exceptions.
I for one, am attracted to men. Only men. Although there are many, many wonderful women on this site. I actually have more women than men on my friend's list.
LOL .... CountessMoon...here's some cheese and crackers to go along with that whine...FYI...I added you to my list...send me a message when you make it to 'Shade'...maybe I'll message back....LOL...JK hon...message me anytime
I think it's funny too how one day y'r list will say y'r on so many friends list and then the next it could say something different...makes me wonder sometimes... :^* LOL
LoL Dami!! I added you too... Now im not so anti-social!! I know I sit here and look at the list of how many people have me on thier friends list. and I dont know who.... To stalk or not to Stalk that is the Question.... *grins*
PandorazPixie,
I can't answer your question without offending.. So I'll refrain from answering it.
I'm not anti-gay, but there are some stark realities I believe to be true about homosexuality. There are also levels of homosexuality, which makes things even more complicated.
i would love to hear about these realities simple because new idea often broaden perspective.
Well, i'd love for their to be alot more gay males in the world..... then i'd have more ladies to bite and excite.. *grins*
Just call me Oliver Twist .
Please miss, may i have more.....
LoL im too much of a Loner to have a friends list ^_^ but i do enjoy chatting to all u ppl here this site ROX ^_^
Ok Cancer, I'm not easily offended if at all, so if you want to message me with what you are holding back *smiles*
Hey Deity, you're still cool *winks* with me, girl!
pandora, i think you're awesome no matter what * smooch *
I have non:

I press on the button, but he doesn't work!
I have 3 males and 2 females on my list and I am on 3. I'm a bit differnet.. I nearly ballence the males and females.. well it was until I added one today.. so that means an other male. people intrege me.. all kinds of people.. I can't say I'm not a "one sex" person. For I feel that both have much to offer.. I'm driving by sex as much as men.. Maybe I should have been born male..?
