I've been reading Social Intelligence, by psychologist Danial Goleman.
Here is his Definition:
It's basically broken down into knowing how to read/feel people, being very attentive to others, and knowing how to respond. Empathy is key to social intelligence. Empathy requires a certain level of...
I think evolutionary psychology seeks universal standards. Although I'd agree that it's not black and white.
Well, it's my personal preference. Either way, she must be intelligent or have the capacity in the least.
I'm thinking from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. Most of the physical indicators men look for (full lips, wide hips, big breasts, etc) correlate to youthfulness, high estrogen, and fertility. I was thinking that below average intelligence might also be an indicator of youthfulness...
Surveys by Anthropologist Helen Fischer have shown that the average male actually favors below average intelligence in women (probably because its a sign of youthfulness), while the average female favors above average intelligence in men (perhaps it is a sign of older age).
Do you think that looks vs personality may be genetically as well as environmentally determined? I have seen good looking women and men, date very unattractive people (although it could be for money or status). I have also seen both men and women avoid dating a person unless if they were hot.
I ate a LOT of pastry, potato chips, and other fat food in the past few days, and my cheek and neck area looks wider and rounder.
Do people lose/gain weight in specific areas quicker?
For the most part, I'll admit that I was obsessive over that one girl. I honestly don't know why other than having feelings--and I guess there were several things about her intrigued my mind.
No. I don't make judgements on any sort of attention. If a girl is just looking, perhaps glances and...
Uh no, she was interested. But that window pretty much closed after I told her she gave me the stalker eye. She and her friend still noticeably glanced at me a couple times yesterday, but I can tell the interest just isn't there anymore (like before).
I've decided to close the door on this one.
This girl is psycho. Among the many things she told me, she has shared that she has bipolar, is on medication, apparently has issued with violence, that she has been sexually molested by two girls, and had bisexual experiences, etc. She also says...
Perhaps males have more of a tendency to do that, from an evolutionary and biological perspective. I suspect that higher testosterone males have such a capability. In parts of the animal world, high testosterone males adopt a certain mating strategy; to ejaculate quickly and mate with as many...
Flashcards.
Use images if possible.
Acronyms.
Recitation. I've memorized two pages of a speech within three hours by continuous recitation.
What you want to do is draw on different areas of the brain. It will help you memorize faster and anchor information into your brain. I highly suggest...
