I dated a guy who had been with a couple guys in his past... Like, sexually. Is that weird?

But I guess that's more his secret than mine... :O

In my opinion that's not weird. Everyone's different. But lets NOT start that debate again, mkay guys? That's why this topic got locked in the first place.

Another bit about myself:
I LOATHE pop, hip-hop, and most rap music. I can't stand it! It eats away at my very being. Luckily, I have my noise cancelling earbuds so I can drown it out with my awesome prog-metal.

Haaah, I read those old posts. My intention was not to start up that debate, but to honestly ask if dating someone who'd been with a member of the same sex, while you yourself are not bisexual, was weird. Mayhaps I could start another topic for that-- but not on this forum. Bahahah.

Personally, I find it sad that you are forced to post that question on a different forum rather than posting it in the forums of our family here at PureZC.

It saddens me that some people aren't very sensitive to people's feelings, as well as who they are as a person. It especially saddens me that this occurs here at PZC. I never thought it would, but it has. Can't we just live together and except each other? What's so bad about that? Sure, you might have to humble yourself a bit. Sure, you might have to swallow your pride a bit. Sure, you might have to swallow your religious beliefs a bit. But that being said, isn't it worth it for family? We virtually are a family aren't we? I've been here for four years. I've come to love everybody here as my brothers and sisters. /rant

Anyways, sorry for being SO off topic. Had to get that off my chest.

Anyways, another secret. (I know, so many right?)

I used to be a hopeless romantic. I would day dream constantly of falling in love and living the rest of my life a dream in itself. Of course my eyes are opened now, but sometimes I wish I had that innocence again. :/

I sure am glad I don't though. I wouldn't be the same person.

P.S. GC, that "lets not start that debate again" part of the above post wasn't pointed at you. It was pointed at the other people that previously debated on the subject. Sorry if that seemed direct.

It seems like people are just picking fights because they want to cause a stir, lately. I'm not trying to insult anyone, just making an observation. Don't take any of arguments to heart, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and if they want to argue about why they feel that way, that's what the Debate Room is for.

I think it's best if we just drop it, now. Including mine, I doubt these comments from the peanut gallery are making the others feel any better.

Now...On topic,

I'm a people pleaser. Not the stereotypical ones that go to extremes to fit in, but I tend to assess what people like and dislike, and hide or highlight the points of my personality so that they'll find me approachable. There aren't many people I don't like, so I like to befriend whoever I can. (Anyone who's gonna tell me that a real friend accepts me for all that I am, save it. I've heard the speech. ) I can't stand knowing somebody doesn't like me, though. If I find out somebody dislikes me for whatever reason, I attempt to make up for it. I'm not a fan of conflict, I guess. That's not to say I won't stand up for myself, or for what I believe in, but when it's unnecessary (Like if somebody says, "omg justin beiber is so hawt and dreemy n talintd," I don't say, "No he's a stupid effing effer eff eff," simply because I don't like his music), I do my best to avoid it.

Call me a coward if you will. Meh.

I also think it's sad. However, after being on this forum for as many years as I have, I've seen people get banned and/or suspended for talking about touchy subjects. Or, topics about touchy subjects get closed. OR, in places where touchy subjects are acceptable to post (i.e. the debate forum, etc.) people get waaaay to sensitive and it gets frustrating to respond to anything.

I suppose that's a secret I can share. I avoid posting in certain topics because I don't think my point of view/my opinion would be generally accepted by people on the forum. Or I might unintentionally say something offensive and get myself in trouble with the staff.

I actually hate the idea of people-pleasing, but I won't go ahead and judge you for it. I just hate the idea of trying to do it, I'm not a fan of sucking up to people particularly because I think no one is entitled to being sucked up to. In some ways, at least avoiding conflict is something worth noting, though.

I'm very obsessed with my life being documented. A friend of mine has some ponies, but she says they're a bit on the wild side and wouldn't appreciate me trying to ride them, so I've told her to bring a camera when I try to "conquer a wild stallion" so I can have several pictures of me failing. It's the same reason my picture in my profile page exists (me with Father Christmas). I had to have that picture, otherwise I'd feel like it never happened.

Remember guys, we have a debate forum for these kind of things. If you want, post a topic in there, that way we can have a more mature conversation without having to get topics like this closed. I, too, think it is sad when a community like this can't handle a simple conversation.

As for my secrets, I've got a kinda weird one. For some reason, sharp nails are attractive to me. Not sure why, but short and stubby nails on a girl are a total turn-off for me. Is that weird? I wouldn't say I have a nail "fetish", or anything like that, but I do find longer nails far more attractive than short nails.

I'm really sorry. I do apologize completely. I had no idea that we had a debate forum.
Once again I apologize. Won't happen again.

I smoke cannabis everyday. I don't hide it, either. Most of my work derives from the influence, or better put, "I'm in the zone"

Hey man, no apologies. I'm no mod . I was just reminding you guys, because I love the debate forum. I wasn't telling you what to do, or nothing.

Here's a small one. For a while, when I was about 12, the only song I would listen to was the Doctor Who theme tune. Like, 50 different variations of it, but still the same song (Shameless advertising). It wasn't until a few years ago that I actually started listening to other kinds of music. Though the Doctor Who theme is still awesome, and I still respect Delia Derbyshire for putting the original version together with what would be considered little more than a kettle and some string by today's standards.

Ehm, let's see here... Oh, here's another one. This isn't so much a secret as it is odd, but even though I was born in the mid-'90s, my first video game console was the Intellivision (from the early '80s). I guess that's why I prefer more retro games than modern ones.

Here's another one. I really hate it when people say things like "should of" rather than "should have", neglect using apostrophes in words that should have them, or use the wrong "your/you're" or "there/their/they're". I never correct anyone out of fear of being called a grammar Nazi, but I cringe when people do that kind of stuff. That's, like, 2nd grade English right there that grown people mess up.

Ugg. Just completely drop it people. As in don't even mention it. It's over now.

I like to draw random things. Like creatures with sponges for heads, ears for nipples or eyeballs for private parts. Then my friend names them and writes life stories for them.

My friend who writes the "life stories" is awesome. He literally think's exactly the same as me, only he expresses himself through writing instead of drawing.

Which leads me onto my next point, he is the only person in my social group at school. We'll hang out with other people sometimes, but at the same time.

I had two people I'd chosen as possible candidates for girlfriends. But decided to go with the less hot yet slightly awkward girl over the hotter and happy-go-lucky uber-amounts-of-energy girl. I just decided that given the amount of sleep I get, I wouldn't be able to keep up with anything she did. Right about now I'm wondering if that was a good choice.

This thread is more of a "random crap about me" than secrets thread, by the looks of it.

I'm over analytical in real life. I will tear the very foundations of something simple if I feel it doesn't make sense. That is, if I don't recognize it as a joke. This is especially true with commercials. I absolutely love tearing those things apart when I watch TV, since it gives me something to do as opposed to just blankly watching them. That's not to say I don't find some mildly entertaining, but some of them...D:

Okay, I've got another secret. For some reason, I only date women whose parents I respect. If I don't know a woman's parents, I don't date her. Also, women with parents who I don't like, I don't date. For me, it seems, that I value a woman's family as much as I value her herself. Which can even be a problem sometimes. It feels like I care too much about their family, but it seems like something I can't really change myself out of. I tried, but it doesn't work. And I know that I should judge women for who they are instead of the type of family they've grown up in, but I can't seem to change my opinions on women who have no family, or whose families are rude to me.

That's pretty common, actually. I can definitely sympathize.

Slightly related to that, I tend to attract illiterate blond stalkers. Seriously; I've had four of them. None of them have managed to impress me with proper grammar or even a pleasant personality. It's crazy.
