Not only do I speed up as I cross the street (and if a car is coming, I always do), one of my biggest pet peeves is when Im driving and a pedestrian doesnt offer me the same courtesy. Frankly, few things make me more angry when Im behind the wheel than someone who just takes their time across the street as if the driver isnt even there.

I also work in retail, and like you, I deal with people from India who want to haggle over the price of every item I try to sell them. They simply don't understand that prices are non-negotiable, I guess.

You sound like you have a very good head on your shoulders for a 12-year-old. Be smart and be yourself.

I have several female friends who I have no interest in romantically, and I have no doubt that they feel the same way. Many men may not be able to have female friends, but there are a lot of men who can as well.

If they're in a dirty enviornment, like a gas station or a bar, I don't. On point No. 2, while my girlfriend and I were togther, we always kissed in the morning. We loved one another, so what's wrong with that? And when I shower, I use a bar of soap and nothing else except the shampoo in my hair. I have smooth skin and not much body hair, and I don't think I have any dead skin piling up on my body...

It's unsafe, and because of that I don't do it Many people like to prop their legs up.

My family is a different religion than yours, but I was just as anxious. If you just tell them and get it out in the open, it'll likely not be a big deal after a while.

When i pay for something, i ALWAYS hand my cash or card to the cashier. It would be rude to do otherwise.

My dogs, two Beagles, aren't security animals, they're like little friends. When they're happy, they try and lick me on the face. It's gross, but funny at the same time.

Also, many white people, myself included, do not know much of their ancestor's culture from Europe, nor do I really care. I'm an American. What my ancestors did is history, and unimportant in my daily life.

I have several friends who have been bartenders, and they were all part time, however the bars that they worked at DID have full time bartenders - usually the owner. As for doing less while working, it all depends on how busy the place is. If there are few customers and the place is clean, then there isnt much to do.

They're only unattractive if they have huge, thick rims or the like. However, I know firsthand that the opposite sex often finds them unattractive and am considering laser surgery myself, despite the fact that the thought scares me silly, because after wearing glasses for 10 years, I want to be thought of as more attractive.

For example; German, Polish, Brittish (English, Scotish, Irish) or some others. If your eyes are also blue or green, this is especially true.

I find women of many different ethnic backgrounds to be attractive, but I know that if I marry a woman who isn't white, or even one who is but who has dark hair and eyes, then my children won't look like me, and that's a difficult thing to cope with. I don't have an answer, but I know how you feel.

However, as a white man, I tend to be in the minority in feeling this way. A lot of white guys like very thin women, with hardly any shape, especially in the hips and butt. To me thats very unnatractive, but everyone has their own preferances. Why don't more white men strike up conversations with women of color? I think you hit the nail on the head, they're intimidated. Most 'ethnic' girls are, on the whole, louder and more animated than white girls, and I think that a lot of white guys are intimated buy guys who arent white also, whether they want to say it or not, and are affraid that they'll anger them by hitting on girls who aren't white.
