A user initiated a discussion seeking personal insights from males under 23 years old, expressing a willingness to answer personal questions, albeit with some hesitation. Several participants, primarily young males, responded, indicating their readiness to engage, while others humorously commented on the nature of personal inquiries. The conversation took a light-hearted turn, with jokes about relationships and the challenges of being male at that age. Some users expressed curiosity about the original poster's questions, while others offered their own humorous takes on the topic. Acknowledgment of the diverse ages and experiences in the forum led to discussions about the relevance of age in providing advice. The thread highlighted a blend of curiosity, humor, and the complexities of personal discussions among a young male demographic.

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).

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.

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.

i would consider all of you quite intelligent. so i need to ask a question on some... personal matters. please can someone who is MALE below 23 years old who isn't afraid of being asked a personal question please reply to this thread. or please pm me.

I'm 34, but I have not matured in 2 decades and my door's always open. :smile:

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:

Anybody else have to use scientific notation? :-p
