i think they got rid of it. they used to have it, then they said that it was on hold and they couldn't answer questions right then, and now i think they just did away with it.

Haha... I guess that means I'm the replacement...

(disclaimer- my views necessarily do not reflect the views of all Christian guys... )

Most of the nearly two billion children in the developing world have inadequate access to dinosaurs. Some receive no paleontology training at all. One in three has never even seen a dinosaur in person.

Thanks for the information. My question is about my guy friend who I like as more than a friend. We text sometimes and hangout with our bestfriends. His best friend told me that when my guy friend is around me, my best friend, and his best friend he acts perfectly normal and really nice, but when he is around his other friends (girls) he acts like its not good to talk to me and my best friend or hangout with us. (His friends don't like my best friend). I really like this guy but I dont want to ruin our friendship and I have no idea if he likes me or not. Thanks for any help.

HAHA yeah! I was wondering about that myself!
But I think wjr1991 makes a good replacement! You have pretty good insight!
for Christina, this is hard as I totally have been where you are now! I would say probably just hang out with him and get to know him better. you should eventually know if he is being genuine around you and your best friend, and if he is, then, just be an awesome friend, and the rest should fall into place. Thats probably all I can say as I ended up breaking away from the guy i liked as, well, he wasnt the kind of person God would have wanted me to date... but yeah, I feel for you as I have the same problem with the friendship issue. Id rather have the guy as my friend then tell him how I feel and then he doesnt talk to me ever again!
Hope I helped a little :D

ok I read that guys like "normal" girls who take care of themselves. which is great and all but what about models and girls who look like models? would any guy want to marry them for who they are or are all guys that go for models shallow?

I am not just leaping, I'm flying
I am not just lifting my leg, I'm growing
I am not just moving my arm, I'm giving
I am not just walking, I'm gliding
I am not just spinning, I'm shining
I am not just moving, I'm dancing, I'm crying, I'm hating, I'm loving, I'm free, I'm beautiful, I'm me.

I think guys do sometimes go for models just because of their looks, but any decent guy, even if he likes the models for their looks, would probably be turned off after a while if they had no personality etc. it really depends on the guy.
Like my brother's friend, he is REALLY shallow! I mean REALLY! if an ugly girl asks him striaght up if she's pretty, he'll say, to her face "Hell No! You're the ugliest person i've ever met!" No lie!!
He always brags about all the Hot girls he "supposedly" hooked up with, and honestly, I know him pretty well, and sadly, the only girls who would be interested in him would be girls who just want to see how much they can get out of him. and with the way he's acting, i dont think any decent girl would want to go near him...
But then you have people like my brother, the complete opposite. Yes he does seem to like pretty girls, but he really looks for personality etc. and he knows any girl who's interested in him will have to pass my standard of approval. His friends think its wak that I am doing that to my brother, but in the long run, i dont want him dating a scumbag!
Anyway, back to topic... I have a model friend, who is the most amazing person, really. She became a Christian only last year, and she sometimes has more knowledge than me about the bible and God's plan etc, than i do. And I've been a Christian almost all my life!
But guy's tend to go for her because she's a model, and dont really care about what's inside. All they want from her is stuff she's not willing to give them, so she breaks off the relationships because those guys are jerks. I think it's harder for the decent models because they are never taken seriously.
Just thought I'd throw that in there...

Jojo pretty much has it down. Any decent guy who is "interested" in a model-type girl would be interested in both... but chances are a knockout with a great personality isn't going to have guys who are almost strictly into personality after her, because they'd think it'd be "caving in" or something to pursue a beautiful girl.
I think, Jojo, that perhaps it's harder on decent models because guys get almost jaded from hoping there's a girl out there that's gorgeous, has a great personality, and is willing to join our calling... so should we run into one, we wouldn't believe it.

I've said before, Jojo's got a pretty good wrap on things- she could pretty much replace me :-)
(and now we've got JP- I want to hear his take on this)

HAHAHA! JoJo again...
I couldnt replace you Will! We need your input! I just basically write from what Ive learnt... The great thing about trials, is that you are able to help others going through what you've been through... but yes! JP should bring a wholenother aspect to the forums.

It didn't bother me at first, but now it is....What should I do about it??

hmmm...........
id say hang out w/ him and get to know him better. and if ur brave enough, ask if he's been acting this way and saying these things about u and ur bffl.

Live4This: ummm id say tell him that he can hang out with her sometimes, but to give u equal time. my bros do the same thing sometimes, and i usually ask my dad to tell them to go do something else for a while. it usually works.
