I sure hope that's not the subject of your new website. [Wink]

You'll need a password for the Secret Section, provided you have a complete Intelligence-style psychological diagnosis; you (both physically and on the net) and your computer actions will be monitored at all times while on the Secret Section - by armed military.

If you can provide money for that - OK.

Good luck on that empathy, Jonathon. It's not easy to develop, and judging photos won't help.

Spider Robinson says, "The first thing you realize when you discover true empathy is that your brothers and sisters are starving to death. And that hurts." [Angst] [Frown]

Or, in this case, growing their hair and refusing to share.

If you want to develop empathy, Jonathon, try to figure out why they are reluctant to share photos on this thread.

Very, very keen, Morbo. [Cool]

Na, not that.

But, maybe it's because they think that it's either ineffective, or that there are better places to acquire empathy?

There is something about a guy asking a bunch of girls for photos--any photos, that is creepy.

Empathize with that. [Cool]

It does sound quite outrageous... Come to think about it...

Tip: You'd do far better to read threads that discuss female-perspective topics. Ask questions if you have them. Listen carefully. I think you will learn a lot that way.

I am so confused. You're trying to develop empathy and understanding for me, as a woman, by looking at a picture of my hair? [Confused]

Not precisely, and I'm not paraphrasing...

Wow. So basically you've created a very long confusing intial post that you don't wish to clarify. You're going on my top 10 weirdo list now. [Wink] Listen to bev, by the way.

I am. And I did try to clarify several times...

Hey J,

Empathy. If you were empathetic, you would realize that by "refusing to paraphrase" (read: make any damned sense) you are not showing any empathy what soever. An empathetic person would sense the lack of understanding and try their damndest [sic] to make sure they understood. Rephrasing, paraphrasing or simplifying terminology are great places to begin. God help us if you're going to be a teacher.

And another thing; I'm not very easily creeped out, but this thread is absolutely dripping with Peeping Tomesque effedupitude (Lexicon? Who needs it- I make it up myself!)

So I need common grounds with virtually any woman. As it's happening now (according to stereotype, that are statistically true were I live and interact), women are centred around clothes, cellphones and hair.
from the 1st post.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Jonathon, but you seem to be seeking some commonality with women. Perhaps to have stuff to chat about. Not the same thing as empathy.

Also, "women are centred around clothes, cellphones and hair" is just, really laughable, and absurdly patronizing. I chat with a few girls online, and can't recall ever discussing any of those three topics at length. Same with girls in RL.

Obsession with hair? Freudian slip? Projecting his own obsession on others? Hmmmm...

Lucky bugger...

Oh, and Primal Curve - psychoanalysis sucks. Move over to behaviourism, as long as you stop Skinnering me!
