THE STORY
The shower is a common place for people to bust out the tunes and go nuts singing. Do you?
"I only sing in the shower if I'm in a really good mood. And even then it's not a fast or upbeat song. It's usually one of those old school ballads that get me, or at least keep me in a good mood."
"If I'm getting ready to go to a club I have a shower and blast the music and get my groove on in the shower to hype myself up for a night of dancing. I don't know if there's more singing than moves in the shower but I definitely have music blasting to get me going."
"I will never sing in the shower again. I had an apartment that was really close to another building. The shower window was open and when I turned and looked out the window while singing the most beautiful girl I have ever seen was laughing at me. If that doesn't sound bad enough, every time I see her she hums the tune I was singing."
"If I hear a song on the radio when my alarm clock goes off that song will generally be in my head for a long time. I've found that I will hum the song in the shower because a lot of times it's the melody that's in my head and not necessarily the lyrics."
THE STORY
Would you change your look if someone told you to?
"Totally dump him. If he can't appreciate you for what you look like then toss him out. There's no sense in making yourself feel bad by thinking you don't look good enough for some guy."
"If you're with a person you should definitely take their opinion seriously. Obviously they like the way you look and want you to stay that way. If I find something unattractive about the person I'm with I'm not going to hide my thoughts but I'll let them known."
"That's brutal if someone tells you to lose weight or do something to look different than you do. If you're comfortable with how you look then that's all that matters. Who cares what anyone else thinks?"
"I probably would just tell the person to look at themselves in the mirror and I'd find something to bash about them. I don't have time for people to be putting down my look."
"I'm not sure that I would jump right in and start changing what I look like but I would at least hear the person out and find out why they said that in the first place. I actually did get comments on my hair before and someone told me to put some colour in it and get a different style and it actually turned out for the better. I liked it much better and I thanked my friend for telling me."
THE STORY
Have you ever taken nude photos of yourself?
"I took body pictures of myself when I was single and used those to meet people. But then I realized it was a stupid thing to do when people would want me to be getting naked right away for them because they thought I was an exhibitionist. I never thought I would get mad someone about wanted me for my body."
"We took some pictures when I was in a relationship one time that we thought would be fun and playful. But then I didn't think they were going to be shown to my classmates the next day. It was almost like I could go to school naked now because everybody saw what I looked like and wouldn't let me live it down. Needless to say the relationship ended pretty fast."
"I wanted to see what I look like naked. In a mirror you can't get a really good idea. So I took some pics and had a look at my front and back and got a sense of what I actually look like. There's nothing wrong with wanting to know what the parts you can't see look like!"
"Never taken pics of me but certainly like lookin' at pics of others."
"I'd never take naked pictures of myself. Who knows where they will end up and what people will do with them. There's nothing wrong with liking your body but I want people to remember me for what I've accomplished and not just taking my clothes off."
THE STORY
Would you date your best friend's sibling?
"I dated my best friend's brother and it didn't make anything weird. I think it was really good because I can at least get the lowdown on what he's like, right? Obviously a sibling wouldn't lie. Especially if it's your friend. They've got to tell you the truth."
"No way in hell would I ever let my best friend date my sister. That's just too close for comfort. I know I'd end up hearing things I don't wanna know about my sister and because of that it would probably ruin my friendship too. You don't mix friends and family."
"I don't really like if anyone tells me a certain person is off limits. That's like when saying someone you know just got out of a relationship with your friend and it's supposed to be that the person is off limits. Who makes those rules? I can date who I want. As long as they're not married or a complete wacko they've got a shot with me."
"I went on a date with my friends' brother before and what ended up happening was we talked about my best friend all night which was kind of strange. It almost seemed like we gossiped the whole time. So in the end I became better friends with the brother than I was with my actual friend who I knew in the first place."
