jjpotter I am very sorry to hear this. Long distance relationships can be really hard. You don't have the luxury of physical contact and presence. Making time for one another could be very challenging because one wouldn't be obliged to prioritize something that is...

What would be your favorite way of relaxation ?

greenline @greenline (14838) • Canada 2 Nov 12

We would all have different ways of relaxation, and we need that to get rid of the stresses of the day. My favorite way is listening to classical music, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, and so on. I keep a collection of CDs of classical...

jjpotter I could see how classical music could be relaxing. I, on the other hand, sleep to relax. I usually sleep my worries away so I could just shut down the world for a moment. But of course, sleeping is not a way for me to escape from my problems. It is merely a...

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9551) • Philippines 1 Nov 12

jjpotter You're absolutely right. People should make it a habit of just going out and taking a walk. Try to look at things in a new and better perspective. Open your heart and mind to the beauty of nature. And you'll be amazed of what nature offers.

Do girls find SMART guys attractive?

jjpotter For me, intelligence and wit among boys is very attractive. A man who I can have meaningful conversations with is a definite keeper. Having said that, the attitude is still a very big factor. If he is smart but is a stuck-up, then I'll walk away.
