Get over yourselves people, okay? No-one else wants to see your bitch fights. Take them to MSN or PMs.

A question. Do you get somewhere payed in Scotland for giving blood ? A little extra would be nice sometimes.

As far as I'm aware, we don't have blood banks. I could be wrong, but I think blood banks are illegal in the UK. And no, we don't have sperm banks either. ;)
 
http://www.scotblood.co.uk/ <- giving blood in Scotland. Oddly, the idea of giving blood in Scotland being different to giving blood in England never occured to me - I thought the NBS was nationwide. Oh well.

As for how to get a girlfriend...spend less time on the internet, perhaps? :p
 
Never heard of getting paid to donate blood... they usually give you some juice or a light snack, as you might feel a bit weakened though.
 
The thing is with me im more of a traditionalist, not just when it comes to love/relationships but other things in life as well.




Agape (ἀγάπη agápē) means love in modern day Greek. The term s'agapo means I love you in Greek. The word agapo is the verb I love. It generally refers to a "pure", ideal type of love rather than the physical attraction suggested by eros. However, there are some examples of agape used to mean the same as eros. It has also been translated as "love of the soul".

Eros (ἔρως érōs) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Greek word erota means in love. Plato refined his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Eros helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty, and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. Some translations list it as "love of the body".

Philia (φιλία philía), a dispassionate virtuous love, was a concept developed by Aristotle. It includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and familiarity. Philia is motivated by practical reasons; one or both of the parties benefit from the relationship. Can also mean "love of the mind".

Storge (στοργή storgē) is natural affection, like that felt by parents for offspring.

Xenia (ξενία xenía), hospitality, was an extremely important practice in Ancient Greece. It was an almost ritualized friendship formed between a host and their guest, who could previously be strangers. The host fed and provided quarters for the guest, who was only expected to repay with gratitude. The importance of this can be seen throughout Greek mythology, in particular Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.





Now personally speaking I would rather belive that than being brainwashed by Hollywood over the past 20/30 odd years just so they can sell more beauty products and make money. I feel to some extent Hollywood has taken love and warped it to there own needs. The second one on that list (Eros) is the one that seems to be the only one that exsists today, mainly in the younger generation not that I have a problem with this.

I just so happen to belive in the first one on the list (apage) but I guess im one of the few who go by that.


I feel a good example of the whole Hollywood thing is Lindsey Lohan, if she ever asked me out on a date I persoanlly would refuse because of her attitude and not what she looks like. (Besides if you take the makeup off and the implants out what is she?) Hollywood manufactures people like her all in the name of money and I feel it is the worst form of oppurtunizm based around love.

Sure ive had sex, good sex at that but at the end of the day sex is overated and irellivent in the grand scheme of things in my eyes.

Or is it all just a bunch of dopamine, norepinephrine and phenylethylamine being realeased into your brain?
 
you are unfriendly

Edit: I think if she ask you out for a date you should accept it. I mean you dont know this person in real. You only know her from the tv/newspapers and movies and she can be a very nice person. Its in some way racistic against people in the show buisness to say that what you say.
 
I thought the stereotype was that marrying was seen as bad for the man's money ;p

Nice to see a few chaps still believe in romance though!

How horrible! If I ever become a rich old single lady with fatal cancer I'll make sure to marry the most shallow looking guy I can find, have lots of fabulous young man lovemaking then die happy but with the stipulation in my will that all my money goes to a cat charity!

If Jessica Alba came up to me and asked me out on a date I would say no. Why? because I simply do not know her very well I bet you any money most men would instantly say yes and would go out with her based on her looks alone I however happen to be different. And again this all goes back to the Hollywood thing besides 99% of that is fake and Hollywood should not be half dictating what a woman or what love is just so they can make money.
 
Love is great. what triggers love though? looks? intelligence? sense of humour?

I believe I'm not wrong to say that all of them. Would you say yes for a date with a complete stranger because she looks great? I'd say yes. Will you keep on dating the said person because of the looks, I believe that this depends on how vain you are.

I'm one of those that believes that you can spice a relationship with sex. You can't build a relationship on sex only though (which seems that most people forget...)
 
I'd feelings of love are triggered by seeing the pieces you lack in another person; the pieces that are required to make you complete...well, that's why I've always assumed that people refer to long-term partners as their "other half" anyway.

I wouldn't know in all honesty, though - I've never loved anyone or anything. The closest I've come to love is obsession. I can understand why love is a little by imaging a form of obsession that isn't 100% about 1 persons needs, but I don't believe I've ever felt any form of love.

You picky guy! Just because she might be a psycho? ;D

Good looking woman looking my way? who am I to say no... not that I believe it would happen though ;)
Change the complete stranger to someone I've barely know and we have a winner ?
