Facts of life you've found to be true

1. The juice of any citrus fruit you peel by hand will make an immediate and unerring trajectory into your eye.

2. You will like pretty much every song on your iPod, until it's on shuffle, at which point you will like approximately 1 in 30.

most people who think they have a good sense of humour........dont

Good sense of humour doesn't necessarily mean the person is funny though - can just mean the ability to have a laugh and appreciate humour instead of being a big serious-head.

Nope. Its often found that where wealth is concerned, you need a reasonably good amount of it to maintain your health.

That if you have sex you can get pregnant!

Fact..

Or so I've heard..

No, I'm not.

I'm clearly a terrible person but every time I read one of your posts I just get an image in my head similar to this.

When obviously, you clearly are this person.

You are never EVER going to be old enough NOT to feel uncomfortable when you hear your parents having sex:D

Women deep down want to submit to a man who makes them feel safe.

They'll never admit to that, and that's why I've learned not to pay heed to women's list of most desirable traits. They say one thing to a stranger but their deepest thoughts are kept to themselves 99.9% of the time.

I've learned this the hard way, through years of being lied to by TV

"99%" or "99.9%" are unfounded statistics.

No prob admitting it - it's not "deep down" either.

Nah, not applicable to lots of women either. You should emphasise you're only talking about the annoying women you're attracted to.

Is PUA the new theology or something?

I want to feel safe in a relationship. I want to feel safe in everything I do. Being in danger is not much craic.

Submit to them?

In what sense?

A woman wants to be lead by a man. But there is one huge caveat, she must feel complete trust in him being capable and adept at leading her. Once that's in place she can feel feminine and safe around him.

Reregs are some craic.

Led on a lead, like? Like a dog? Sometimes!

You're a kinky one, you are! When I hear words like "Lead" and "submit", my mind goes into dirty mode.

AudreyHepburn · 11-09-2013 10:11pm

That if something/some-one's for you it/they won't pass you by

That the key to being happy is to make some-one else happy.

That regrets are useless. You can't change the past so why dwell on it.

That you should never judge a book by its cover.

That you should enjoy every moment you are given.

That you should work to live, not live to work.

That money is not the be all and end all.

That looks aren't everything.

That deep down we all just want to be loved and accepted as we are.

That if it looks to good to be true it probably is.

That you should always be true to yourself and not change for anyone or anything.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a poorly written, inaccurate portrayal of a dom/sub relationship.

I assume this is where you formed your opinion. It's bullshit, btw.

It takes too much energy to hate someone - forget and move on.

Its perfectly acceptable to hate someone. If someone doesnt want to forget then they dont have to

That in spite of feminism, women remain hardest on each other.

That the more attractive you are, the harder things will be -peers pick on you as a teen, men think you think you're out of their league, women think you think you're above them...when neither is true.

That the longest life is short and that nobody will ever love you as much as your parents do.

What about people whose parent(s) abused them?

I don't know that women are hardest on each other. It's 50/50 women/men I'd say.

I'm sure being really beautiful can have its pitfalls, but being ugly is obviously gonna be harder. Life is probably easiest in that regard though for people who are somewhere in between.

Some people are just beyond help and will never be happy or like to see others around them happy .

Hard embarrassing fact: Michael D Higgins is an embarrassing little ork as a figure head of our country. Seriously...dress him up in a little green suit and ginger beard and just listen to him!!! And why has every Government party leader of this s**thole had the most embarrassingly non masculine name Berty? Enda? Amongst the rest of the heads of state on European t.v.? The only one who had a decent name had a face like a plumbers toolbag/ pitbull licking piss off a nettle!
