*uirkLady's profile:

Honesty can be delivered brutally or kindly...I prefer the kind approach but I will be brutally honest at times. I don't believe in being mean just to be mean but I don't believe that sugarcoating life helps at all. I also believe that respecting yourself and others is the key to living a happy life.

I'm always straightforward...and if you don't like it, sorry about your damn luck!

A.   26 August 2009: I don't agree that a good relationship must be commitment-free. I think that committing to someone else is one of the most loving things I can do. Even if it doesn't last, for as long as we are together I am demonstrating my love and affection not ... (read in full...)

A.   23 August 2009: It's all in your head. Sure, some guys and girls are looking, but if you think 90% of the men you pass are making angry faces at the guy with you, you have a seriously inflated ego. Maybe there was a huge fight earlier on campus or they all... (read in full...)
