Kaliedo, abaayo, no accusation at all. I was implying the majority of the women I know do not fall in the categories. Waterlilly, they exist, you just need to get out more.

Originally posted by Kaleidoscopic: The list comprises more or less of 99% of women. Good luck spotting the elusive 1%. 99% of women you know. I say its more like a 60:40 split with the acceptable women having the greater edge. Elusive? I think not.... Who do you think has advanced women by leaps and bounds? hint: no one from the list above

doesnt change the fact that you compared Women to Cars, and now Goats and apples/oranges. We can go in circles. Just give up I'm not trying to change the fact...now that you mention it....lets see if there's any any truth in comparing women and cars... -Ferraris are Fast and good to look at and be seen in...However they're usually expensive and guzzle gas and high insurance - high maintenance and when you're not around it you always feel someone else might be plotting to steal it. - Dodge Caravans are realatively safe and transport children well. they're not ment for racing and all the groceries fit nicely -a Honda accord is reliable and fairly good looking depending on it's condition, it's sometimes low-maintenance and economical but has the pontential to thrill if handled properly. give up kulaha !!!!

Lets use a more humane analogy, then am gonna respond. Cars or goats or apples or oranges....The point remains: do you wanna spend your time advancing your family and community or do you wanna waste your time trying to get your partner in working order?

Dawoco, the low blows are coming fast an furious. Your inquiry is just oozing with somekind of foul-smelling aggression. It would be too much of a stretch to assume Something in the "list" must be burning at you. why don't you have a chit chat with Sky or Afro they seem to know how to fix that sorta stuff. LOL @ Doormat & Ogre.

^^^ ....of the women...

Dawoco, I think whoever sang that song falls in this category: Miss Me A close relative of Miss B!tch, Miss Me is entirely focused on herself. Miss Me needs to be the constant center of attention no matter what she does or where she goes.

U.D; i believe a true man can TAME all these 11 types of women. They are nothing man, no need to avoid. Confront them and take up the challenge! Ok guys, listen up. I'm NOT a mechanic. So I have no intention of acquiring a faulty vehicle and refurbishing it. I'd rather do my research on mileage, features, capacity and cost and get one that won't require constant tweaks and part replacements. There's a multitude of perfectly normal, loving women who will bake you a good cake (najma ) without chocking, whipping threatening and selling thier stuff. Hibo, I hope you're not suggesting that you need repair.

Nova it must have being 2 much headache'z to go throught all that @ one time You have no idea !!!! a lesser farax would have been going through bankruptcy, paranoia and nervous breakdown. come'on u' know there are Many Women in the world that dont' hold any of those charectisitcz that u 'mentioned let alone' even resemle'them.. I know there tons of women who don't fit the profiles above.... but they gotta show themselves. Besides, Kamabuxiin b.s. it's just a guide...adba waa ogtahay naagahaas in ee jiraan. This is an "ISKA JIRA" for Xarfaanta loo gambade...Call it an "Exposé"

I'm working on it...but I think I might be a little biased.....would like to volunteer one?

Ok Guys, let's dig into this barrel and sort out the bad apples....not just the visibly damaged but the ones with the worms inside. Here's the women you need to steer clear of: 1- Miss Feminist This woman postulates that all the ills of society are orchestrated by men and the best thing a man can do to improve himself is cut off his testicles and grow a pair of ovaries. She believes that women are angelic creatures who would make the world a utopia if only the male "patriarchy" would allow them to. Any woman who promotes these absurdities lives in a fantasy world and will have no problem at all treating a man in a way that she would never herself abide by. You can easily identify her by her incessant mantra, "All men think with their penises." Avoid her at all costs. 2- Miss Take She's out for your money -- pure and simple. Miss Take is the ultimate in high maintenance. She expects a man to finance her entire life just because she is biologically female. To her, a man should pay for drinks, dinners, trips, flowers, and jewelry, while she feels absolutely no guilt or compulsion to reciprocate. She is nothing but a whitewashed prostitute. Miss Take thinks she is gold and is worth a million dollars. She is greed personified. Since she has no concept of someone else's feelings, her only interest is in getting what she wants. And don't be fooled -- some apparently very "nice" girls are the greediest of them all. 3- Miss Romance This type of woman lives in a fantasy world of Lifetime Channel movies and romance novels. Every night she goes home alone to spend hours flipping through her bride magazines, imagining that, at any moment, Prince Charming will ride up on his white horse, sweep her off her feet, and offer her a problem-free existence for the rest of her life. The Miss Romances of the world have been coddled by parents and family, told they are "princesses," and have absolutely no idea that real life consists of paying bills and cleaning toilets. Miss Romance will expect to be taken care of, will be a dud in bed, and will, almost overnight, turn into a shrieking nag. Run. 4- Miss Elusive This woman is closely allied to Miss Romance, but with a dark side. She is usually one of the "walking wounded" -- someone who has been hurt in past relationships and so subconsciously avoids or sabotages new relationships in the present. Your association with her will be one of utter frustration, as first she shows great interest in you, but very quickly runs away -- then repeats this cycle over and over again. Miss Elusive is the queen of mixed messages. She will flirt with you and date you, but you'll never get past "friend" status. What you will get is a million excuses for her unavailability, all calculated to deceive herself that she just doesn't have time for a relationship. Save yourself some heartache -- don't get involved with her. 5- Miss Angry Like Miss Feminists, Miss Angrys really don't like men. They scorn the male gender and can rattle off all the wrongs and misdeeds of every man they've ever encountered. To Miss Angry, there's no such thing as a nice guy -- they're all "jerks," "creeps" and "pigs." Many of them have lots of simmering anger at men, which can explode at any moment like an erupting volcano. Unless you're into lots of drama and screaming, stay away. 6- Miss Insecure This woman seems great at the start because she's very nice, accommodating and treats men well. But her inner insecurities don't take long to surface. Pretty soon she's calling you 10 times a day, asking to see "where the relationship is going," or because she "just wants to hear your voice." She needs constant reassurance that she's attractive, and worries incessantly about her makeup, hair and the alignment of her clothes. She's clingy, needy and compulsively agonizes that you're going to leave her at any moment for "someone better." This kind of thing can get really creepy really fast. 7- Miss B!tch Miss B!tches are the sulkers, pouters and ball-busters of the female world. They are very unpleasant people who treat their fellow humans poorly, care only about themselves, and aren't concerned at all if they hurt you or anybody else. Most Miss B!tches qualify as Miss Takes, too. Miss B!tches are usually good-looking and well dressed, and you can easily identify them by the scowls on their faces as they imperiously strut through the world. 8- Miss Me A close relative of Miss B!tch, Miss Me is entirely focused on herself. Miss Me needs to be the constant center of attention no matter what she does or where she goes. She is a selfish, self-indulgent, self-serving narcissist who was raised as "daddy's little girl," and expects the same from you. Unless you enjoy the company of spoiled brats, stay far, far away. 9- Miss Turncoat She's a conniving little piece of work who's an expert at conning men. Miss Turncoat will tell you exactly what you want to hear until you're hooked deep into the relationship (or married)… and then the truth comes out. Overnight, your sweet little girl turns into a demanding, greedy, mercenary who will browbeat you into submission if she doesn't get her way. 10- Miss Tease Usually, you can spot Miss Teases a mile away because she flirts with anything in pants and flaunt her sexuality at every opportunity. Sometimes she sponges off older men; sometimes she's a ball-buster who enjoys getting men sexually excited and then walking away; and sometimes she just basks in her sexual power by attracting men like bees to honey. No matter how she operates, you can't trust her because she craves male attention and if somebody better comes along, she'll dump you in a heartbeat. 11- Miss Controlling She is a subtly nasty one who will wind up directing every phase of your life. She will tell you what to wear, where to go, who to talk to, what friends you can have, what you can eat -- everything. And if you try to stand up for yourself, she will cry, scream, pout, or use any other deceptive female tactic until you give in and succumb to her demands. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff? Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer." One student replied: "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building." This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed. The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did the problem it was decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity with the basic principles of physics. For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use. On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows: "Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer." "Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper." "But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in the gravitational restoring force T = 2 pi sqroot (l / g)." "Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up." "If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into feet to give the height of the building." "But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor's door and say to him 'If you would like a nice new barometer, I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'."

Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently it had been a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first one, "Heaven's getting pretty close to full today, and I've been asked to admit only people who have had particularly horrible deaths. So what's your story?" So the first man replies: "Well, for a while I've suspected my wife has been cheating on me, so today I came home early to try to catch her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could tell something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where this other guy could have been hiding. Finally, I went out to the balcony, and sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, 25 floors above ground! By now I was really mad, so I started beating on him and kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall off. So finally I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and starting hammering on his fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that for long, so he let go and fell-but even after 25 stories, he fell into the bushes, stunned but okay. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran into the kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the edge where it landed on him, killing him instantly. But, all the stress and anger got to me, and I had a heart attack and died there on the balcony." "That sounds like a pretty bad day to me," said Peter, and let the man in. The second man comes up and Peter explains to him about heaven being full, and again asks for his story. "It's been a very strange day. You see, I live on the 26th floor of my apartment building, and every morning I do my exercises out on my balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing of the balcony on the floor below me. I knew I couldn't hang on for very long, when suddenly this man burst out onto the balcony. I thought for sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me. I held on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all right. Just when I was thinking I was going to be okay, this refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly, and now I'm here." Once again, Peter had to concede that that sounded like a pretty horrible death. The third man came to the front of the line, and again the whole process was repeated. Peter explained that heaven was full and asked for his story. "Picture this," says the third man, "I'm hiding inside this refrigerator.........

How true is this? All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.

Originally posted by MsWord: Tough, and rough with my Afro puffs, sometimes you have to be selfish to be unselfish. very catchy statement. try this one on for size You can easily judge the character of a person by how he treats those who can do nothing for him or to him

Originally posted by shankaroon: I think if you expect your family and friends to be there for you and go out of their way for you, you should be willing to the same for them. Please Clarify because it sounds like what you're saying is you should only do for those who can do some thing for you? Your reason for doing something is in order to get something back when needed???? isn't that selfishness too?

"selfishness is the essence of successes" The statement might be true but what does success really mean? Is it being rich? having a gazillion fafillion dollars in an account while it muptiplies daily might be considered success. Or maybe you can only gauge success in relation to everyone else: meaning if you have a mountain of gold and everyone you know has one too you're not successful. So if thats the definition then success is only how you differentiate yourself from the rest. i.e. the guy who drives the Lexus and saw some other guy in a lexus so he changed his plates to "BRAIN SURGN" all of a sudden he's more successful than the Farah in the Lexus with Plate "ABRT 543". Maybe he's just more selfish...cause what he's saying is "I'm better than you." I guess we all think it or do it from time to time and look down on people (even some of the people we help) so selfishness is rampant. However like many of the diseases of society the moment you stop feeling bad about it and come to terms with your selfishness then you're beyond help; as is the case with - Vanity: Too many people in love with their reflections - (check out the nicks on SOL) - Guilt: Too many people that are ready to find "the real" place to lay blame - (If I didn't have all that sugar in my coffee I wouldn't have punch that guy so its not really my fault, its the food and the schools and the neighbors son) So why should selfishness be any different. The time and money you use to help someone is time and money you could be doing for yourself. "why should I be the one to do for the less fortunate? I have a hard time too" when you think like that its probably too late.

I have rice on one stove, Stew on the other, chopping salad, while talking on the fone and still watching Oprah... Hibo, I see you're a Phd level Domestic engineer...impressive skillz. Maybe I should spread out my replies next time by replying with one word at a time. By the time I reach 500 posts I would have formed one whole sentence Diamante, You'd reach 500 posts but unfortunately you'll become the "slow" nomad and pretty soon you'll start talking like that too. Imagine asking for directions at a bus stop: "how....do....I...get... just then the bus shows up and everyone leaves so you gotta start again with the next person who happens to be a lady and her young son: "excuse.....me....can...you..." ..."Mommy, is this a crazy person?"..."No Junior, thats not polite we call them "special people"....just nod, smile and back away, junior"

Grand Theft Auto Liberia? or maybe Rwanda. its a funny picture but it clearly wasn't put together by a Somali person.....

How it works is: if you take the total income tax you pay during the course of the year, it adds up to every cent you made from January 1st to tax freedom day. So if tax freedom day is May 30th then everything you made (gross) from Jan 1st to that day is government money....they let you keep the rest. So 12 months of work, the Govt takes 5 months of your wages and you keep 7.....SLAVERY
