| :heart: The "Diamond In the Rough" myth, as per the "Aladdin" movies (animated and live-action) -- Disney, of course -- and the Cinderella story. A commoner falls for a member of royalty, who returns the affections only when the commoner impersonates royalty. An on-again/off-ag... |

| IDK what your question was but hip pain can have various causes & a physical examination is important to diagnose the cause. Sometimes various tests are required. If you were just hoping your doc would give you a prescription, the two main types of pain meds are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories ... |

And then sue. :lol: This is not uncommon behavior by some people recording YouTube type vids :lol: except... |

| im sure 9 times out of 10, these relationships were initiated by the man. Every relationship I've had was initiated by the other (female) person. I don't initiate well. Same for me but all three of my relationships started online & not on dating sites. Though I tried lots of dating sites & ... |

| If your religion is against divorce threatning to divorce might motivate her to compromise more. I generally dislike ultimatems but if your seriously considering that option it might be good to let her know that & then gauge her reaction. If she has the attitude of go ahead then at least you kno... |

| In the case of The Little Mermaid, Ariel gave up her voice because she wanted to be human. She was infatuated with the human world & initiated the relationship because it was her opportunity to be part of that world. I would equate it with a mail-order bride type situation. She sought out a rela... |

| In all honesty, what would you (men) prefer for women to say? I've never said I was busy because I'm brutally honest. If I'm not interested I say so. I worry about hurting men's feelings but I can't lie. It's not like I've ever been very busy anyway, apart from working business hours. Seriously, wh... |

| Well said DuckHairback. In some movies a guy tries to get a date or hook-up with a woman who's a higher social status. The guy puts on a false persona & lies about some things in order to impress her. Eventually he can not keep the act up & she finds out the truth. He insists his feelings fo... |
