Self-described Pick-Up Artist (which is inevitably abbreviated for the internet: PUA) Allen Reyes had a pick-up attempt turn into an argument. No shock there, given that his advice in re seduction includes gems like "Make the ho say no."
Blogger David Futrelle has written up a short but sweet article on the Western male fantasy of the "nubile, pliant, and above all grateful" Asian or Eastern European woman. This is a common trope, and it's one that I think a lot of us in the feminist community have chosen to simply ignore. But sadly enough, ignoring something doesn't make it go away.
The NFL has a policy of equal access for all members of the media. If male reports are allowed in team locker rooms, female reporters must be allowed in too, and Ines Sainz, a female reporter for Mexican television said that last weekend the New York Jets made her uncomfortable in their locker room.
Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs responded to the Ines Sainz incident.
Science marches on. CBS news reports "a new study by British scientists finds that women tend to be more attracted, or in some cases turned off, by the way a man can dance." See the video.
This was a scientific study, the world is told, and was not done just to provide employment to idle minds. The idea was to find which male dance moves appeal to the female. Why? To discover the best mating dance? Why?
I was reading this lovely story on the Newsweek website about animals that have been in space (Animals in Orbit) and it got me thinking about all of the furry little friends that have blasted off into the great unknown - including, of course, Sigourney Weaver.
Okay, we have all done it at one point or another. The cooing, slobbering, baby talk with the ones we love. No, I'm not talking about JUST when we were babies but also the times it is done in a romantic way. Oh you haven't personally talked like a baby with anyone? Whatever.. you probably just don't remember because along with the photos, and all the clothes left in your closet, the memories were burned in a fit of rage.
In 2005 a woman goes to a bar, planning to drink and party. Turns out the "Girls Gone Wild" video team is there. Signs are posted. However, she refuses to sign the consent form. If there is a more clear way to signal "I do not consent" than refusing to sign a consent form, I can't think of it.
As she's dancing, the video camera is moving through the crowd. As she turns away from the camera, a hand reaches out from behind it and pulls off her shirt.
Even now, several years later and after many more accomplishments, I hear, "That's nice. So when are you going to send us more pictures of your daughter?" or, “When are you going to have another baby?”
Mummies were introduced with the World Adventures expansion pack. They live in Al Simhara (the Egyptian world), inhabiting underground tombs.
Finding A Mummy
To find a mummy, look for a sarcophagus. They sleep there - all the time, apparently! (Mummies must be even lazier than I am.) You can awaken the mummy by right-clicking on the sarcophagus and instructing your Sim to look inside. Mummies may also spontaneously awaken if you start stealing treasure from their tomb.
