[asianamericanromance] Re: Why do guys like bad girls?

Interesting question. I would say men choose bad girls for several reasons. Some men are raised in a woman dominated home and are used to women making decisions for them. Some men are submissive and don't want to make any real decisions. So a bad girl helps them. Some men want a woman as wild as they are and a bad girl is a perfect fit. Some men believe they can save a bad girl and make her good. Like a damsel in distress and you get to be a knight in shining armor. Now the next question is why do women feel the need to act like men.

She is still in Asia (Phillipines). She thinks we have a future and we will be married. I met someone else. Any suggestions on how to let her know without breaking her heart too much.

Hi,

 

If your partener is still in routine sex with u , I dont think there is any harm of being bisexual. Sex and love are two different emotions.

Me personally, I would like my wife or girlfriend to be MY wife/girlfriend. I have a strong belief in a monogamous relationship and want to keep it that way. If it were a strictly sexual relationship, that would be totally different. I notice that many people can't separate sex from love and a third wheel would lead to more conflict than cohesiveness.

Who Wouldn't Sham Marry This Woman?

Reality TV stars set to testify in federal criminal case

 
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

 

In a reality television first, prosecutors want to quiz prospective jurors about their opinion of a Bravo series and its stars in advance of a federal criminal trial.

In an August 16 U.S. District Court filing, government lawyers requested that a judge ask proposed jurors about the program "Double Exposure," which follows fashion/celebrity photographers Marcus Klinko and Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri.

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles want to know whether proposed jurors watch "Double Exposure," and whether the Bravo series has influenced their opinions of the reality series's two stars. On Monday, government lawyers listed both Klinko and Pal-Chaudhuri as expected prosecution witnesses in the upcoming trial of actress/model Fernanda Romero, who was indicted earlier this year in a marriage fraud case.

Romero, a Mexican national, allegedly paid a California man, Kent Stuart Ross, to enter into a sham 2005 marriage so that she could secure a green card. An affidavit sworn by a federal agent actually lists some of Romero's credits, from print and TV campaigns for Pepsi, Apple, and JCPenney to roles in films "including 'Drag Me to Hell,' and 'The Eye,' starring Jessica Alba." Romero's alleged husband/codefendant Ross is identified by prosecutors as a musician who "has been employed at a pizza delivery company."

[Romero is pictured below in a modeling shot and a United States Marshals Service mug shot. She can also be seen here in a selection of photos found on her web site and MySpace page.]

Romero, 28, is also a former girlfriend of Klinko, who investigators describe as "Romero's boyfriend during the marriage." After the couple--who met at a July 2005 photo casting call--split up in January 2007, "Klinko alerted immigration authorities" about Romero's alleged marriage fraud, triggering the federal probe that resulted in the indictment of Romero and Ross, according to an affidavit prepared by a Department of Homeland Security agent.

In a subsequent interview with federal investigators, Klinko provided details of Romero's arrangement with Ross, including how they "rehearsed their answers before having their interview with the immigration authorities."

Klinko also told agents that after Romero first told him of her sham marriage, he mentioned to her that "many artists and models obtain non-immigrant visas" so they can legally work in the United States. Klinko recalled Romero responding that, "committing marriage fraud was more convenient for her."

Court filings do not disclose the substance of Pal-Chaudhuri's expected testimony against Romero and Ross, whose trial is scheduled to begin next week.

[asianamericanromance] Re: Bisexual-OK?

I dont mind my woman being bisexual if she wants to be. Now if she was a HO and running around with a ton of other guys, that is different. A woman explained it to me that a bisexual woman craves what a woman can offer and not a man. Now would be great if she would share this other woman, what man wouldnt want that? ahah but I dont have a problem with it if it is a sexual thing.

Re: [asianamericanromance] QUESTION: Can being married can make you more relaxed?

Group Members-from your experience and belief do you agree with this article?
 
KHWAN
 

Why being married can make you more relaxed

 
It will come as news to stressed spouses, but according to research being married makes you more relaxed.
The finding may go some way towards explaining previous studies which showed married couples have less heart disease and other health problems.
In the latest study scientists found students given tests they believed would affect their career prospects had much less of the stress hormone cortisol if they had a partner. 
True wedded bliss: Being married makes you more relaxed, according to researchers

True wedded bliss: Being married makes you more relaxed, according to researchers

Professor Dario Maestripieri of Chicago University, whose finding are published in the journal Stress, said: 'What we found is that marriage has a dampening effect on cortisol responses to psychological stress - and that is very new.
'These results suggest single and unpaired individuals are more responsive to psychological stress than married individuals, a finding consistent with a growing body of evidence showing-that marriage and social support can buffer against stress.
'We found unpaired individuals of both sexes had higher cortisol levels than married individuals.
'Although marriage can be pretty stressful, it should make it easier for people to handle other stressors in their lives.' 
 

 

Five hundred students, almost half of whom were married or in relationships, played a series of computer games that tested economic behaviours. Saliva samples measured hormone level changes.
The survey also found singletons displayed higher testosterone levels than their married or committed colleagues - a finding that mirrors previous human research as well as animal observations.
Professor Maestripieri, who conducts most of his research on monkeys in Puerto Rico, said species of primates and birds show similar changes where males assist females with rearing.
