I am not afraid of being ASKED a personal question, but depending on the question I may, or may not, answer it. I am a 21 year old male.

LOLI just hope I will not be asked when was the last time I took a shower, I think it was last month or something :wink:
 
It sucks to be male and 23.
 
I am male and 20, and will answer if you like.
 
sure I'll answer... unless it's TOOO weird, but my weird threshold is pretty high.

Nothing weird, well for me it wasn't that weird...
 
  • #11
sure i'll try to help if you didn't get an answer yet
 
  • #12
I'm rather intrigued by this...
 
  • #13
I'm a male and I think of myself as still being 23...
 
  • #14
I was already asked and already answered, blackcat is offline now

I'm 17. Shoot me a pm.

Haha.. I'm glad its not just me who's curious..:rolleyes:

I was curious before I received the Pm, I suspected something and it was correct..
Yeah that's true, it's exactly what you are thinking of..

Darn! We'll have to talk to Greg about that.

Geez, I'm female and over 25...two strikes there. I feel so left out. :frown:

So, anyway, if it's about anatomical, medical or relationshipical type stuff, don't assume some of us "old" folks don't know enough to help.

if it's about relationships here's my advise:

never ask a man; the only thing worse than a man's advice on relationships, is a woman's.

Since the OP has still not addressed his question, maybe I can post mine ? :rolleyes:
So, please someone who is a legual alien citizen in a foreign country, who is between 23 and 56 years old, male, or female, or not applicable, who likes fish but rather has fruits for dessert, with some ability in manipulating weepouns of mass instruction, espacially in science disciplines, owns a cat but not as a pet, has a very bad sens of humour but can not help to share his jokes, often makes long setences, has an orange cover on his leather couch, please, please answer this thread. Ah, by the way, if you never watch TV that's even better, but not mandatory. :shy:

Boy, did we ever fool him! (Assuming it's a him.) We must be pretty clever to have pulled that off! Hey...waitaminute...

Race condition, anyone?

[For those in a coma: The stupider we are the more clever we must have been to pull it off.]

They'll tell you don't bother with relationships, just go out all night and come back pregnant/get someone pregnant. :rolleyes: Might want to ask the dog, they know a bit more about being loyal and faithful.

Hmm, good idea. Anyway, I don't have either a cat or a dog, so my relationships are pretty much screwed!

Undoubtedly you have tons of people, but if you need someone else's opinion, I'm a male, 18.

Ok, so, like, here's the answer:

There are guys, and there are girls. And there are four possible quantum states for pairs of these particles. This theory does not allow for Emo particles and needs some modification for oscilatory states.

Now, some parings follow fermion statistics. This occurs when, say, the guy looks at another girl while with the one he's with (If you can't be/with the one you love, honey/...)

Then there are the boson states which usually are found in hot tubs in California (you can check out any time you like...)

Then there're the theoretical physicists who do experiments on the quantum states to see which ones collapse under the bright light of day.

If you are one of these physicsists with some quantum wave functions you need collapsed, PM me.

But only if you're OVER 62.5 and can withdraw from your 403(b).

ZM

Seconded. I'm only slightly more than twice the age that you specified. Moonbear and I will be more than glad to put on an educational puppet show for you.

wow i didnt think this would get so many replies. i don't really want to say my questions here because its kind of embarrassing even though no one knows me in real life.

anyway, yes i am male, and no its nothing medical or relationship wise.

and i chose 23 to be the limit for no real reason. i thought older people would have slightly different views which would put them off from answering my questions.

anyway i got 2 replies, but i am interesting in more views, so ill pm some of you guyz later.

ps: i am really sorry for my pathetic grammar and spelling in this post.

Don't sweat it; you're ahead of the average on that... other than your apparent inability to find your 'shift' key. :biggrin:

You posted on a site full of scientists. We're naturally curious people :biggrin:

but i thought on the internet the standard was to not capitalise. i find it more aesthetically pleasing rather than reading harsh upper case letters.

i suppose. but still.

anyway i have sent out some pms to people who wanted them. if i forgot you, sorry, it was a mistake. if you're really bothered then tell me i will ask you. but i think I've asked enough people now to get a good representation of views.

Only PM me the salacious details. Spare me the heart-aches&breaks. :smile:

We encourage correct usage of English here. This is especially important because we have many non-native-English speakers here who can benefit from as many examples of correct usage as possible. It also makes it easier for everyone to understand what everyone else is saying if we all attempt to use our best spelling and grammar. We don't have any grammar police, but if everyone tries, it just makes it that much easier to understand each other.

Fine. I will type like this from now on, but it looks horrible.

And sorry guys I've asked enough people. But if you really want to participate you can PM me.

I didn't really want to help you; just looking for an excuse to break out the puppets again. :redface:
