Hi there, I don't know if you want a girl's advice, but I'm on the flip side of your situation here. I'm the American girl in a relationship (3 years) with a man who immigrated to the U.S. from southeast Asia ten years ago. His parents are extremely (and understandably) conservative and...

Hi there. As I'm in an interracial relationship myself, I can relate. I'm white, he's Vietnamese. His family moved to the U.S. when he was ten. Despite the fact that we're adults and have been together for three years, his parents will never approve. It's a hard fact that I've come to...

Some cheap, safe, female-friendly gift suggestions: -A book she's interested in, or a nice, hardcover version of her favorite novel -A nice mug and some tea -A picture frame -Gloves/mittens -A scarf -Chocolates molded into cute shapes -A novelty bookmark -Wall art to her taste (vintage...

Personally, I don't accept "being drunk" as an excuse. When you drink/do drugs, you are still responsible for your own actions and decisions. Ditch her and don't look back.

At the risk of being labeled a b*tch, I will go ahead and say that I do not like to see a man cry. I am attracted to masculine men, and like men who are able to keep themselves together. My man is a pillar of strength I can go to when I'm emotionally unstable myself. If someone close to...

That's typically what happens when you sleep with a girl: she gets emotionally attached. Assuming that she's your age or younger, I think it's safe to play the "you don't know what love is" card. I think it's questionable enough when high schoolers say they're in love, let alone if it's...

Living with my initial host family in France (I switched to another family after a week). Can't even begin to explain...filthy little apartment with three demon cats that didn't know how to use a litter box and were infested with fleas...I counted and literally had 200+ fleabites on my feet...

Some of my favorites: -The Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follet) -World Without End (Ken Follet) -First Man in Rome (Can't remember the author...) -The Agony and the Ecstasy (Irving Stone) -The Godfather (Mario Puzo...better than the movie) -The House of the Spirits (Allende, historical...

No, this hairstyle does not look good. Guys, you know how you hate it when women cut their hair off and get butch cuts? Well, we hate it when you get "femme cuts". If your hairstyle would look good on a woman, then it's too long.

Keep your distance. She'll never change.

Yup! That's it right there. I grew up with brothers...I'm not as visually emotional as a lot of girls, but I'm still emotionally impacted in a lot of the same ways. If something bad is going on, I'm much more liable than my brothers to skip work/school. Or to quote my man, I can walk into a...

Hmm... -Travel to every continent, including Antarctica. (Listing countries would take too long...) I don't want to do that tourist crap, I want to live like the locals do and experience their culture. -Lease a horse and improve. Learn how to drive a team. -Finish writing my book -Visit...

Biggest surprises? Hmm... 1. How people are perceived. Popularity in college is very different than popularity in high school. In high school, the preps and dumb jocks were popular...in college, the smart people are popular. Yeah, you still have the preps/jocks, but they keep to themselves...

Here's the thing...when you go to college, nobody cares what your high school experience was like. Nobody cares about your GPA, your popularity, or how many people you dated. Really. College is a clean slate, and you can make of this what you will. You arrive and nobody has any prejudice...
