The key to drawing the interest of others is to become an interesting person to them -- to attract interest, you... |

| I'll take a wild guess and say that it has something to do with the heuristic that states: " Men focus on power-based hierarchies, while women focus on supportive relational networks ". Example: HER: " We need to talk about our relationship. " HIM: " Shuddup and make me a sa... |

| There is a difference between 'edible' and 'swallowable' . . . Battery-powered, swallowable cameras the size of a large pill have been on the market since 2001.

| Why is that any different from why anyone takes a political stance. This is how: Political Stance : "I am voting for 'XYZ' because I believe that 'XYZ' is the best possible candidate." Identity Politics : "I am an 'XYZ' backer, so you had better respect me because anyone voting for '... |
