This is a question that I ask people, because the answers are always somewhat unique. If we had the technology to learn anything, instantly, like in the Matrix; what would you learn?
Would you go Matrix style and learn every martial art known to man?
Or, would you tap into your musical self and become an expert at every musical instrument?

Personally I would learn every language. Closely followed by the two above.

I would just stuff myself full with as many skills possible to be able to master the physical reality with perfection.
But then, I already do that! :D

But if I should pick just one thing it would be levitation. :p

Since it would be possible, I would learn everything known -- during the time remaining to me -- but, every so often, I'd also take time to play because that would give me ample opportunity to put all that knowledge into proper perspective.

:)

If I'd have only one choice, I would choose to read all the literature books that were ever written. I'm sure it would be amazing to learn from all the different life experiences people had.:)

If I had the opportunity, I think I would most care to learn how to distribute the world's resources in a way that every man, woman and child would have adequate food, shelter, clothing, a feeling of security and a sense of compassion to continue such distribution.

I would learn how to understand women. Completely.

Lol...well, you know , there are sex-change operations available already, if you are serious in your quest. :D

The reason men don't understand women is that they don't really try (or want) to understand us. Most of the time, it would be enough to ask a question...:)

Well I was going to say I'd like to know everything to do with music in particular Guitar but then I saw what shrike posted and realised that would be good too.
Theres too much I want too know so i'll just say these are the main ones, :Know all there is too know in History
:Music
:Criminology, Pychology, Forensic Pathology.
Oh and parenting would be good too for when the time comes.:D

I grew up with my mom and my sister, and I've come to the conclusion that women are just nuts.
Keep in mind however that I am by no means saying that men have a clue either.

In order of preference:

Physics
Cosmology
Psychology
Ancient History

These are things I had absolutely no interest in when I was younger. It just goes to show that you never stop changing.

PS Stop picking on the women. Men have to grow up first to get any clue about women. :D

:) Teri :)

I think it would be too embarrasing to ask.

Why don't some of the women here help us understand them? I'm pretty sure they understand men..., after all we are soo predictable with explosions and boobs etc.

I wonder if what you all will say will have many things in common.

I really don't understand why men have so much trouble working out the women. My little dig was a good natured dig. Are there any areas which really worry you? We get a lot of questions from the men about the women but not the other way around.

What is it that is confusing about us? And you have to let us know if you've got someone that you're trying to figure out or just generally. It always helps if you give details a specific event because the women will know why whoever it is you're trying to impress didn't react the way you wanted them to. If I'm not making sense right now it's because it's late, I have a headache and I can't sleep.

Are you in love? Do you think women are really THAT mysterious?
It would be interesting to see how you think women perceive you. Tell us a little about yourself.
Cheers from Teri - a female :D :D :D

What I THINK I get at the moment is that girls like older guys, at least at my age, but they always seem to pick the dumbest ones imaginable.

Then the one I like flirts with me constantly, I swear to god she does, but then denies it. THAT is wierd. I hear things all over the internet (and from Bowser) that you have to be assertive and an assole to get girls to go out with you and not be a nice person, sometimes I see the opposite but most of the time the idea fits snugly into place.

All women, tell me the truth: do you like assholes that are assertive and make (quote from Monty Python) grateutis sexist jokes? The girl I like isn't going out with an asshole from what I can gather but he's an idiot: He sounds like Elmer Fud (I'm dead serious) and he likes to juggle. His friends talk about being struck by lightening! It's so frustrating! Arrr

i'd just would like to be able to hit a curve ball.

Shrike,
I have to think back a long way to help you with your woes. But here goes:-

You say the girl you like flirts with you and then denies it. My answer to that is never, never accuse a girl of flirting with you because she will never ever admit to it (well, maybe a few years after you're married). If you think she's flirting with you, then she is. What you have to do is flirt right back, but don't go overboard.

If this same girl is going out with the juggler who you think is a dope, then it's possible he makes her laugh a lot. Next time you see them together just watch and see whether she's having a good time. It's possible that she likes the attention he's giving her by putting on a show.

The impression you guys seem to get about girls being attracted to assholes is probably because she can't figure him out yet and she wants to find out what he's all about. (BTW my definition of the asshole type at that age is a broody, surly kind of boy, not abusive).

I'd like to know what kind of a fellow you are, and what your definition of 'asshole' is, because there's all kinds.

One thing you have to remember is that at your age the girls are changing all the time. She will fancy you one day, then the next day she's over it.

Trust me when I tell you that there are all types of women out there, your best bet is to get to know all of them and find out exactly what you like about each one. Just be friendly and don't come on too strong. Send me a PM if any of this helps. I do remember those years fondly, and it's the beginning of a very complicated dance.
Good luck
Teri

Id love to learn how to to read and write perfectly every language known to man :)

I think the reason why girls go out with stupid guys, especially in the teenage years, is for the same reason why some men prefer dumb, (bimbo) women, they like to be superior in the relationship.
Now its just an idea but i'd say if i'm right then you might be able to tell what sort of a women she will be.
i.e power hungry, submissive or whatever.
Does any of what I just said make sense to people.:D

I don't think there really is anything I need to learn, I think I would prefer to enhance things: Like memory or Energy to getting round to doing something when it should be done rather than putting off until later (which when later comes round I will probably still lack the energy)

Of course I think I have an idea of WHO needs to enter my life to make me realise how worthwhile existance really is.... I hope she won't be busy soon.

Above all....

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT.

Because they are so afraid of everything, that they must act badly to hide their fear, byt they´re not fooling me anyway.

But I think teenage girls like them because they are "dangerous and exciting" and those two words teenagers of both genders love the most, right? :D

Ok Stryder, don´t be shy, WHO is it? :p

Ps, Teri, don´t reveal everything now...we must apperar mysterious to THEM...so ssshhhhhh.....:D

I thought about not revealing too much while I was writing the post but I don't think we've got much to worry about.


Shrike is a very young man according to his bio and he's got a looongg way to go before he gets to understand anything.

We both know that they (the men) will get more and more confused as time goes on.

But I did feel obliged to help him out a little, I mean, the young lady he's interested in is flirting with him, so she does have an interest, and we both know if he accuses her of doing so she'll react the way you and I both did at that age and he might miss his chance with her.

Maybe we should start a thread to give advice to the men. There seems to be an abundance of questions from them. Something like a "Dear Abby", the men can ask the questions and the women can all offer an opinion. What do you think?
Cheers
Teri

well...I agree, I guess, this thread in particular isn't really appropriate for the questions being asked.

Does that mean you agree with having a 'Dear Abby' thread?

It could go both ways, the women can ask the men things that they can't figure out. The more I think about it, the more I think it could be a good thing. Sometimes you need an objective opinion, and because none of us know each other, we are perfect to be unbiased in our opinions. But we should promise to outline our own behaviour truthfully, and not get offended at someone else's answer.

Have you heard that expression "Opinions are like assholes - everyone's got one". I think Clint Eastwood said it in one of his Dirty Harry movies.

Cheers,
Teri

Excellent idea! Then we can confuse them even more, or if luck is on our side, reach a common ground of actually..u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d-i-n-g eachother, wouldn´t that be great? :D

Go ahead, you start it. :)

I like the sound of this thread, post in this thread when you've got it up so I'll know when you've started it.
:) Cheers :D :D

Perhaps the most important things that I would like to learn would be:

Psychology
Philosophy
Human Biology
Mathematics
History

Also I would perhaps like to learn all about evolution.

Oh and as Bebelina wished, levitation wouldn´t be bad :) .

After getting a couple of positive reactions, I'm going to do it -
Let there be "Dear Abby".
See you in that thread.
:) Teri

This is a question that I ask people, because the answers are always somewhat unique. If we had the technology to learn anything, instantly, like in the Matrix; what would you learn?


I would learn everything. I would learn anything. I would learn how to build a better learning machine.

Note to self: learn how to make a "black hole bomb" and exterminate all life on the earth.

if you knew everything then what would you do? it would be impossible to know everything. if you did you would know how you would die,how teh world would end, everything about the past present future. so what would be the point to continue an exsistence where you know everything, there would be no point at all since you already know whats going to happen and exactly how it will happen. like reading a book 9 times and on the 10th time you can say "hes going to shoot the other guy next with a colt m1911a1 cal .45 wwII GI and its going to go into him this way and its going to kill him in this way" so their would be no point to liveing now would their be?

The answer to your question is easy, "what would be the point of excitence if you knew everything"?
Teach other people, why be greedy with all this knowledge. :D
