  • So I think the “horse is likely to bite you if you’re looking in its mouth too closely” is an assumption we both had about this phrase. I grew up in the suburbs and rarely saw horses so I assumed this phrase was about it possibly bitting. However I now live in a more rural area and horses are pretty sweet and the only reason anyone looks in their mouth is to make sure they’re healthy or figure their age. I’m guessing you, like me, also grew up not around horses so we assumed the English version means something different than it probably did in the past when horses were common place.


  • So not trying to argue, just have a genuine conversation. Talking from an American perspective, British implies the British Isles (place) to me and not the people (who I honestly have no idea when they lived or currently live there??). I’m not familiar with any other name for the isles (again speaking as an American).

    Also, I think (or hope) that most people would understand and any research into the Iron Age is only showing a survival bias that may not indicate the whole population in an area. However, I think it’s fair to state that if you see a trend across multiple sites in roughly the same time period, it indicates a larger cultural practice in that area because we are only seeing a small amount of surving evidence. For this reason, I think “some” is too broad.






  • So I didn’t read all the replies so I’m not sure if someone said this better but physical attraction has many parts and the best thing you can do is figure out what exactly you are attracted to and find someone who meets most of that. For example, maybe you like dark hair, angular nose, and light eyes. Then you can look for someone with those features.

    However I would like to say that attraction is so much more than physical and I truly think you should focus on what non-physical things you are attracted to instead. Years ago I figured out I wanted a partner with a similar sense of humor, kind/caring, and actually listened to me when I talked. When I focused on people with those qualities I had such a better dating experience. I ended up marrying someone who previously wouldn’t have been a top pick physically but our emotional connection is super strong.

    I’ve seen so many friends struggle with relationships where the physical attraction is strong but they don’t fully click on everything else. What I’m saying is find the qualities thst really matter to you both physical and personality-wise and look for people who fit those. You’ll be surprised to see how your preferences can change physically when you’re with someone you have a strong emotional connection with.







  • So if you are in school or going back to school for psychology then I recommend just focusing on your degree and maybe take elective classes in your side interests when you have time. I didn’t study psychology but my major was really labor intensive and I needed all the time I could to study and work on projects. However, I did take a fun forensics class as an elective that is still one of my all time favorite classes since I loved CSI.

    After you graduate and get a steady job, you’ll have more time to focus on your interests. I schedule out my week and take classes at a local school after work in things that interest me. Then weekends I dedicate to family/friend time. I also watch YouTube videos in my free time.

    As many people have mentioned kids, its good to note that I don’t have kids at this time. I plan to have kids in the future and am aware that my night classes will have to end when I do. However that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make because I really want kids. I just hope that one day I’ll be able to share my hobbies with future kids or enjoy what hobbies they are interested in.
