she is German

and you're a mod, I would assume you'd have a bit of resolve about saying things like that to people
go patrol the ones where English is their first language and can't spell worth crap

well i would love to talk german here but then you might have a harder time understanding what i am saying then you have already. never have studied english so all i can do is try. sorry.

but one is for sure. many people try to talk german and i never made fun of them or told them how horrible they are by trying. i actually always thought its cool they try and give them credit for it.

Me personally i think its better to tell people how to do things right and not always tell them that they do wrong. Also it helps people more to let them know what they do wrong instead of leaving them in the dark and feeling so much better about yourself

Good thing I'm a commitment-phobe, wohoo! I don't have to settle!

Also, judging people's grammar when English is their second language is beyond rude, unless you're teaching an ESL class. I give non-native speakers on Evony a lot of credit. Many of them have no formal language training and yet they keep up with advanced conversations and slang. If I had to keep up with slang, acronyms and evo-terminology in my second or third languages, I'm not sure I could do it.

Also criticizing grammar on a public, non-academic forum is the internet equivalent of approaching a casual acquaintance and telling them, "Excuse me, but you keep trailing off into fragments. Try to make complete sentences. Oh - and "ain't" isn't a word."

My grammar stinks, it's okay. SBD didnt mean any harm. Anna you write wonderful english considering it's not your first language. i took spanish in highschool, the best i can do is ask where the bathroom is. German to english would be even harder.

______

As far as "attractiveness" goes, i think this idea is pretty meh. it's all about maturity. Someone who is immature and impulsive is someone who is likely to ruin a relationship and cheat, someone who has their crap together and wants something serious is less likely to cheat. I wish i could say it's an age thing, however some men never grow up

and i totally didnt read the article ooooopsies

I'd like to problematize that picture of the Disney princes - I think the overall point is valid, but I want to come to the rescue of Prince Edward from Sleeping Beauty. He is more complex than the other Disney princes. For one thing, he fell in love with Aurora without realizing she was a princess, he thought she was just a peasant girl living in the woods. Plus after falling in love with her he immediately told his father that he was going to marry her and not make an arranged marriage for the good of the dynasty. I'm a Prince Edward fan.

I don't think these are good points. If you don't like generalized studies then don't use generalized stereotypes as your argument in reply. And your English is much much better than most of the little kids that post here on this forum.

Mocking grammar is a honored past time here on this forum. I'd hope you would keep your high and mighty attitude to yourself and click on the link in my signature to see a shining example the collective joy we get from making fun of people for speaking bad and junk.

Ok, i have a story,

So im not the uglyest girl in the world, Im not the prettyest either. Im a fair average. Yes things about my body could use with tweaking, but everyone has imperfections, Like slightly larger boobhes would aid my 'prettyness' or maybe doing some sit ups to tone my tummy. But hey, thats life.

So my Ex was also an average guy. Again had his imperfections, Not the most tonned guy in the world, at a little bit of a belly, would never have made it as a CK boxer model, But again he wasn't ugly.

So my point being... My ex, Could have cheated on me up to three times (I cant be 100% sure its not like i walked in on him with anyone, but i have seen alot of evidence, but with out pictures - whats the saying? lol - Due to this we lasted almost 3 years) Also during this time i had a car crash, put on toooones of weight, he was the perfect boyfriend, we broke up, i went into over drive to shift the weight gain (and more) the next time we met up to attempt to get things on track i was thinner then when we first started dating. With in 1 week of that meeting he had a new girlfriend, Who by many people admissions is not as 'Hot' as me and about twice the size of me, hes been with her over a year now. (Apparently she is, personality wise, a very nice girl)

Now the reason ive placed this story out there for you all too read is, In my opinion either this guy breaks the rules set in the OP or, he's slightly backwards. Or he just likes larger chicks. Nothing wrong with that... until they loose weight!
