Because women are nurturers. Violence is unpleasant to them. That is a broad genearlisation. There are lots of exceptions. Pooh Star likes the Conan and Mel Gibson movies. Some women choose movies based on the actors. The ones that push thier butttons. Pooh Star liked Bab 5 for the show but also she had the hots for one of the actresses. She will watch anything with Keano Reeves, (Matrix) but not Matt Daemon.

Does that help?

It is possible that at one time it had another more general meaning.

If you prefer, Neo Pagan are basicaly very similar to Wiccan except (in far to simple terms), less structured.

They follow the wheel of the year, the seasons and the cycle of life.

Pooh Star is a Wiccan High Priestess <hr /></blockquote>As far as I can tell, Neo-Pagan covers any type of behavor which may possibly have pre-dated Catholicism. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I'm not sure what your sourses are. The Neo Pagans I have met would nod, understand why you think that, and try to explain that *in general* Paganism is an earth based spiritualty and that Pagans follow the The wheel of the year, the cycle of life and the seasons and that each group has thier own interpretations and beliefs.
They would dissagree with such a sweeping generalazation.
But I am sure that different areas have different deffintions of Pagan. I love variety

My advice to you genuinely nice young guys is:
1) Don't bother dating in high school. It's a waste of your time and money. You're too immature for a relationship worth having (and even if you are not, the girls are).
2) Bide your time. Nice guys usually get even more than they deserve. Jerks eventually get their come-uppance (and we often get to watch).
3) The grass is NOT greener over the fence. Learn to be content. Unattached guys should take the opportunity to do stuff that attached guys can't do easily, like move around, work your head off, take risks, switch careers, etc.

I realize this was a general post, but I'll reply as though it were directed at me, just for the fun of it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I don't want to date a woman who's attracted to jerks. There are however, lots of girls/women who ARE hot, but AREN'T attracted to jerks. The best of both worlds http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I agree that dating in school is generally useless, and I mostly agree with the rest of what you say.

And think a little more. I knew somehow you were a nice guy and look where that got you. Keep in mind that I have a strong strong aVersion to teenagers, for me to somehow feel / know about you....

Pagans have a strong belief in "The Rule of Three". Anything, (good or bad) that you do will come back to you three fold.

"What goes around , comes around"

I must agree with you once again. I do sleep well usually, and I don't feel guilty about what I've done that day (usually). Lol I usually have a strong aVersion to most teenagers as well...and I am one! Simply put, most are not the most wise people in the world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif And thank you once again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'm too busy worrying about handling my (overloaded) academic schedule, working, figuring out what I'm doing with my life, expanding my computer skillsets... while still sleeping enough, exercising enough, and eating right. Throw a relationship into that, and in 99% of cases I've seen, a few to several of those priorities vanish completely.

Very true Will, very true. In the very few relationships I've been in (all within the Last year BTW), I've seen my grades slip significantly. I don't think its a coincidence that the relationship coincided with the drop in grades http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Priorities do change, and not always for the better. However, I still ask myself; if that one girl/woman wanted to have a relationship with me, would I reject her?? The answer is an unconditional NO. Even though it may be bad academically, I would value a relationship more than I would my academic performance.
