Why do girls insist personality trumps looks

I’m so sick of the crap I hear on the internet about dating girls. Like having confidence and perseverance when talking to girls, etc. None of that stuff even matters if you’re not attractive. At least I don’t feel that im attractive, but i’ve had grown ups tell me I’m handsome, but their opinions are worthless to me. I’m a bit on the obese side, but I do stuff like play tennis, piano, and i can sing. Im 21 and never had a gf, but I go to Univ. of Michigan, one of the best engineering schools in the country. So I’ve established that I’m going to stop trying to look for girls, b/c it doesnt matter for me b/c I’m not attractive. Im gonna bet that there are multiple posts that will say stuff like, "oh my bf is a nice guy and we’ve been dating, etc" or girls will say spoon fed shit like "oh you just gotta be confident and sweet." Hahaha. bullshit. it only works if youre attractive. I’ve never even had a chance to hang out with a girl b/c theyve always rejected to hang out hiding under excuses like "I have hw to catch up on" or simply "I’m busy." Or simply not responding to texts. There are gonna be responses like "well maybe she was busy, etc." But I know how girls work. If they really did want to hang out, theyd make the time to do so. And I’ve tried multiple times with girls, and Ive never even been given a chance. At least hang out once and then decide to be friends. All this being said, I’ve accepted that I’m going to be single the rest of my life, so I’m going to try to make my career the best it can be to compensate for my loneliness. So far, this has been the best cover up for my depression. I’m actually on pace to have a job after graduation, as I’ve had an internship with the same company 2 summers in a row. But anyways, I just wanted to get this all off my chest.

AND I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO BE GIRLS WHO WILL DISAGREE, BUT YOU’RE HONESTLY LYING TO YOURSELF IF YOU SAID PERSONALITY TRUMPS LOOKS. There will prob be some bullshit like "oh well my bf is a really nice guy and not a hunk, etc." hahahaha such horse shit.

i’m in my late 20′s and yes you’re right, women are all about looks. they are really no different than us, keep that in mind. it’s just women are actually infact much pickier because it’s all about the whole package-looks, money, social status, etc. the attributes that provide a living are actually worth more but if you happen to be a good looking guy with tons of money you’ll have no difficult at all getting the girls you want.

don’t let their bullshit bother you tho. just live your fucking life man. as you get older you’ll see how stupid it is to have ever wasted your time worrying about females (and yes you’ll get your share of them too)

well i agree, but guys do the same thing, “i love you for your personality” give me a break? everyone wants to believe that they love someone for they’re personality, because they don’t want to be so judgmental on people’s looks, but lets face it, looks matter.
No one wants to be that picky person who goes around saying, but looks do matter, and your not good enough.
Everyone’s lying to themselves.

What about stopping to act like a life hating little prick? That would surely help!

I’m not gonna lie, looks matter but not as much as you think they do. Looks work as to “draw” many people to you, but if they find out you’re an asshole no decent girl is gonna want to be with you. Besides, everyone likes different traits in people. Big muscles freak me out for example.

I suggest you stop trying so hard and get your school done first. If you’re not happy about your weight then continue doing your healthy sports and eat healthy etc.

I promise you, you’ll find someone eventually if you continue to meet people and be polite and funny. I’d go for a positive person with good humour and cofidence before someone with tight abs and money aaaaaaany day!

im a guy and im not cute nor hot and never have been — im at best average —- but i do know for a fact that personality is more important than looks —- i have a lady that loves me —- she is also intelligent confident and literally can have any man she wants —- she wants me because of who i am and im not rich either —- so stop feeling sorry for yourself go about your business BUT keep an open mind —- you will meet someone who will knock your socks off and she will feel the same

Girls (and guys!) say that personality is more important than looks because admitting they go on looks makes them seem shallow. The truth is that both have an impact.

Looks are key for two things – advertising and status. Good looking guys will pick up girls much more easily because girls are attracted to them, and because they like to show them off. But it’s not just the looks – confidence is a big part of it. Ugly guys who are self-assured will trump good-looking shy boys every time. If you have both looks and confidence, you’ll attract a lot of girls. If you lack both, you’ll struggle to get anywhere.

But looks are just the bait. The hook is the personality. Girls will flock to sleep with handsome lotharios, but they’ll only do it once. If you’re after a one night stand, a good personality will do you no favours. But if you’re after a relationship, it’ll never work out unless you can be friends as well as lovers. If you are shy and not blessed with looks, but you do land a girl, odds are she’ll be a keeper.

Most girls (and also boys) do not want to be perceived as shallow people by placing too much emphasis on looks.

However, the reality is that 99 percent of human beings will make their initial judgement regarding whether they are sexually interested in another person, based on looks. We are all biologically hardwired to respond to certain characteristics – fit bodies, symmetrical faces, proportionate features.
When women say that they like a guy who is funny, or clever, you can take it as read that they will value those things on the assumption that the male candidate passes the requirements in terms of their physical appearance.

Women value looks as much as men do (and men generally value looks enormously…) but they are less inclined to state that fact directly.

Okay. First off, way to generalize every single girl on the planet like you know them.

Second, it’s not ONLY looks that matter. Sure, i’m not going to deny that i do need some physical attraction with the guy for me to go out with them. But i definitely would not go out with them if they would be mean to me or if i don’t like their attitudes, no matter how good looking they are.

And third, you shouldn’t give up dating just because you had a few fall outs with girls. You’re still young and (from what i read and understand, in college) so there will be a lot of more opportunities to date.

Well. Looks do matter. And well, I’ve gone out with guys, that I can admit, that weren’t exactly good looking or good looking at all.
Looks, don’t mean anything unless they’ve got a good personality.
If you’re funny, you’re automatically more attractive. If you’re confident, you’re automatically more attractive. If you’re sweet, than you’re automatically more attractive. If you’re nice, you’re automatically more attractive.
And there are girls out there who won’t give a crap what you look like, if you made them happy.
And besides, as life goes on, personality trumps looks.
If you’re with a decent girl, a REAL girl, then she’ll be someone who goes after the one who makes her happy, not the gorgeous one.
And besides. If she was the one, you’d be gorgeous to her anyway.

Well for me, I need both, but I would say personality outweighs the looks. Like, if you’re hot, but you’re a total ass, then it’s not going to happen. If you’re average and your personality is good, then I would go for THAT guy rather than the hot guy with a terrible personality. Of course, I get attracted to guys based on their looks first and then get to know their personality as we go along. Yeah I admit it. I get attracted to the looks first and then get to know their personality. I don’t outright judge them if they’re “ugly” though. If their looks are average, then I would still be their friend and get to know their personality. :/

Australian Open Betting – Murray Finally Wins His First Grand Slam

The online betting season for tennis betting players really starts at the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the season, and the usual suspects are at the top of the list when it comes to favorites. However, we’re banking on a British player who has come in second in each of the last two years.

What: Tennis Betting
When: January 15th-29th, check listings for matches
Where: Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia
Pick: Andy Murray +500

The Favorites

It should be no surprise that Novak Djokovic (+210) entered the event as the favorite after winning three Grand Slams last year, including this tournament for the second time in his career. The Serbian has been the world’s best player for the last year or two, and he definitely took the crown in 2011 from Roger Federer (+500) and Rafael Nadal (+650), who made some interesting comments about Federer ahead of the tournament and it’ll be interesting to see these great rivals face off at some point in the tournament. However, as always Nadal is dealing with an injury and this time, he hurt his knee in a first-round win. Whether or not his body can hold up on the hard courts of Melbourne Park remains to be seen. Federer has won this event four times to just one for Nadal and the Swiss great has rached the semifinals every year since 2003.

The tennis betting x-factor in this tournament is Andy Murray (+500), who has reached the finals in each of the last two Australian Opens, only to fall to Federer in 2010 and then Djokovic in 2011. The Englishman is still looking for his first Grand Slam, but he is getting closer after a final and three semifinal appearances last year. Nadal is hurt, Federer is probably past his best and if history is any indicator, Djokovic could slow down after a busy 2011. Murray definitely has the tools to break through and it may just be in Melbourne.

The Second Tier

There isn’t much to discuss in the second tier as Juan Martin del Potro (+1300) and Jo- Wilfried Tsonga (+1600) lead the way, and del Porto has never made it past the quarterfinals down under. Last year, del Potro failed to progress past the fourth round in any of the Grand Slams and he’ll be eager to rectify that this season. Tsonga has been successful at Melbourne Park, losing in the 2008 finals to Djokovic and he ended 2011 with a semifinal appearance at Wimbledon and a quarterfinal showing at the U.S. Open.

If you have to take one of these players, Tsonga may be the wiser tennis betting option because of his athleticism that allows him to get to a lot of different shots. Tsonga has a little more experience at 26 years old and you have to remember that del Potro is still only 23; he has struggled mightily since winning the U.S. Open in 2009, partly due to a wrist injury that essentially wiped out 2010 and last year he looked tentative. Look for del Potro to get back to his best this year, but at Melbourne Park, Tsonga should be your second-tier play.

The Longshots

Gael Monfils (+6100) heads the list of tennis betting longshots at the Australian Open, even though he has been eliminated in the third round in each of the last two years. Monfils is one of the most exciting players on the tour and is moving up the ranks, but his best performance in a Grand Slam was a semifinal showing at the 2008 French Open; he has to translate his potential to success.

American Andy Roddick (+12600) will always move the needle for fans, and with his hard-hitting style, hard courts will always be his best chance for success. He has reached the semifinals of the Aussie Open four times, with the last time coming in 2009, and he hasn’t won a tournament since February 2011.

How It Will Play Out

It would be a major surprise to everyone involved if a player outside of the top four favorites won, and since 2004, only one player outside of the Djokovic-Federer-Nadal axis has won the Australian Open. But it’s time to make room for Andy Murray, who should have his best chance to come away with his first Grand Slam. He has to deal with the pressure of his fans as no British player has won a Grand Slam since 1936, but if Murray can keep his composure, this may be his best chance to in the last few years to break through, so put your money down on Andy Murray in your sports betting picks.

Australian Open Betting Pick: Andy Murray

Have any of you ever made a living at betting on sport

I love a good bet, in fact it is one of the few things I do like, however I am the only person that seems to lose yeah right, but I have heard that certain people make a living at betting on: football, tennis, cricket, darts or snooker on BET 365 or Bet fair.

Is this true and if so is it you?

On average I bet about £15.00 a week, and mostly break even, or make a slight loss.

The best win I had was when Sunderland beat Chelsea to end there home run the odds were 17/1 at the time and I put £20.00 on Sunderland. They won 3-1 in the end, so I won £3400.00 plus my stake. That was not a bad day, but lost most of it since then.

Any how about making a living. Any small tips would be great as well.

I find that if I bet on the favorite the underdog wins, and if I have a punt. The favourite wins its so annoying lol.
Sorry I only won £340.00 my maths sorry!!!

When it comes to betting the only one guaranteed to make money is the bookmaker

don’t bet parleys they decrease your odds greatly, it also depends how much your bank role is. You should try to bet 1% of your bank role on any one bet, no more. Some good advice i heard is bet against a hot team going up against a cold team, for example if Team A has a 5 game winning streak going against team B with a 5 game losing streak, take the underdog and the points because they should be greatly inflated.

I’ve bet on baseball and american football mostly and like you have been up and down, and eventually lose it all. but i was doing mostly parleys with my dad and brother ( we each pick one game ) and usually two of us would win and one lose. But it was only for $1000 for the three of us on the year.

If you are successful you will be quickly banned from the sports book (I should know, I have a lot of closed accounts). This leaves with you the option of using the betting exchange (betfair), yes it is possible I know some people who make a living betting on horses whilst the race is running, but they work in the back room of the betting shop I work in, they have a few seconds on the mugs sat at home and that is their edge, they can make a living, but it is just a 9-5 job to them, they work hard and none of them are exactly loaded anyway, as far as betting on ante post football dream on, you have no edge and if you play the odds of sports books (like I used to) you could squeeze a few thousand out, but you will eventually be banned from all sports books (like me).

I have been a professional sports gambler for over 20 years

I live with sports betting. I quit my job few months ago because of that, it’s kind of a dream job, but it can be hard for your nerves. I didn’t spent a single cent in a long time, I just withdraw earnings monthly. Of course years of experiences and few good advises from professionals are needed. There is a system which minimizes your risk and gets you money in the long term and it’s the ONLY system that gets you money (it’s a simple system, don’t google for betting systems, 99% of them are pure scams). You just need daily picks from professionals, there are few good services online, I’m a premium member of link from source.

Bottom line is, for going into sports betting professionally, you need all of these 3 things, you can’t do business without even one of them. 1: To understand the system and it’s profit and knowing it’s a long term profit. 2: To be PATIENT (this prevented me from being a pro few years earlier) and 3: Having a professionals do the picks for you.

Sorry for my English.

What to do in case a betshop doesn’t want to pay my win

During my vacation in UK i used to make bets at paddypower bet shops. As i am a a huge tennis fan i usually bet only on it. One day after i’ve lost about 800 pounds on a tennis match i have bet 700 pounds more on another tennis match and where i have won more then 10k ponds. When i came with my winnings tickets to the operator he made a call and since now ( already 2 weeks) they keep saying that tennis federation is investigating that match and i have to wait because they dont have a result and as soon the investigation is not finished they are not able to pay me . Please give me an advice what shall i do ? im in my home country right now and i keep calling them every 2 days but everytime i hear the same things…

They are probably telling the truth. You can find that out by doing a little research, though. Just find on the internet if the match has a result or not. If it doesn’t have one, they are telling the truth and you must wait.

If it *does* have one, then print out that page, and take it to the shop. If they tell you the same thing, ask to speak to a supervisor, and show them the page. Or if you can’t take it to the shop, then ask for a supervisor over the phone, and direct them to the web site that shows the investigation is over.

Finally, if they truly refuse to pay a verifiable winning ticket, they are breaking UK law. Tell them you will be reporting them to the police for breaking the law. But only do this is the result of the match has been determined, and they still won’t pay, even after you’ve spoken to a supervisor. Also tell them that you will be posting on the Internet that they don’t pay on winning tickets.

The match is under investigation, you’ll just have to wait. You will need to contact paddy power help and the organization that hosted/organized the tennis match for further information. Paddy Power have no legitimate business reason to withold your winnings, they will be eager to get them to you so you can gamble it all again. It is not in the bookmakers interest to hold back winnings.

I have OCD and ADHD and though I am smart I feel as if I mess up at almost everything. Please help?!

I have OCD and ADHD and have had a troubled mental history. But that’s all behind me now. I have high 90s in most of my classes, and am in all honors classes. I am pretty popular (that kinda guy that has a few close friends and everyone else likes him cause he’s neutral and laughs/agrees with them no matter what I guess) and I play decent tennis. But it just seems like throughout the day I mess up at SO many things. I might wake up late, not be able to tie a tie (its in my school uniform and I bet I’m one of the few kids that can not/barely tie one), hit my floor on the shower door, forget to do something, just leave things be. It just seems that I mess up much more, and that I am weird.

It seems at those usual, simpler things, I can’t do that well. Though I often pay attention in a class I am interested (I simply cannot pay much attention or focus on something I am not very interested in, I can’t) I often might forget to do this or that, be clueless about something, and though I am quite intelligent this has driven me crazy. For example, today I woke up late, procrastinated with schoolwork , saw a car come through and mistook it for my ride 10 minutes early and went crazy (only to find out it was my mom), blah blah blah. I am also veryyy lazy at times to a point where I don’t feel like putting a shirt on so I will go on the internet and look at the same stuff (facebook, ign) and all that stuff. I also have hemmerhoids, maybe ODD, and some other small problems.

So while I am pretty successful and smart, I feel underdeveloped or incapable. I wonder how this will affect me when I am an adult, because I am so forgetful and easy in losing focus that if it weren’t for my awesome parents God knows where I would be. So please help, give me a tip, make me feel less alone (that helps the most), or anything. Thanks, it would mean the world to me. I want to be successful and make a name for myself and this is annoying me to the core.

• ADHD is fake and I don’t even know what the other one is.
• Dark Knight Strarterra www.strattera.com may be an answer you are looking for, I know it has done wonders for me and it has given me focus to be able my skill in practicing my profession.

  Check it out.

• I could guess that you’d right a long thing because that’s what add usually is… You can’t focus on the point. Dude I skimmed it and I completely agree with the whol underdeveloped thing…. I’m the same way and Im taking adderall. If you are like me you have great ideas but don’t go through with them ..: and because of that you feel like you’ve left out or aren’t fully matured. Adderall gets mr to use my brain in ways I haven’t… But the reason i have add I’d because I’ll doubt myself or I won’t have the willpower to keep my energy on something. Because of this I’ll have an addictive personality and will have patterns in my behavior. If you are scatterbrained… I suggest you take one
  Of your ideas and stick with it even if it’s not that good. I have many flaws and another one is perfectionism. Try finding something out for yourself instead of having someone tell you whether it’s right or wrong.I feel lesser than others but I think this will change it… Good luck dude.
• I understand completely i too have OCD well i don’t have ADHD but i do have ADD and often people assume i am stupid because i have a hard time paying attention, but it isn’t true. My honest opinion is to not let it control your life if you can i understand it’s hard and also @ joe- adhd is real it stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

my work out plan, devastated need help 10 pts for bets answer

Hello my name is not important but i’m a 21 year old female height is 5 foot 8 inches. My entire life (up to last two years) i’ve enjoyed being thin and tall and untill I hit 19 years old I was about 5"8 and weighed between 130 lbs and 140 lbs. My entire life my weight has been such. Ever since I graduated high school and entered college my weight has been above 140 but below 150. I’m 21 now about to be 22 in december and i’ve noticed that i have a hard time squeezing into my jeans. I went from a size 5!! to barely being able to squeeze myself into my size 9 pants. In high school i loved P.E and played badmington like crazy. in fact, I was so good at badmington that my P.E teacher begged me to join the tennis team (nevr played tennis in my life.) I haven’t picked up a badmington racket in 5 or 6 years, but a few months ago I played for the first time since 2006 and i STILL got it. Its my strength what can I say. Maybe that’s why I was able to stay in shape during high school… I beat the boys and the girls when it came to that sport.

I randomly hopped on the scale today just to see why the hell I haven’t been able to squeeze into my size 9 pants. I was devastated!!! 160 pounds. my BMI is 24.5 and I’m "healthy" but I feel so fat!!! i used to have this super-awesome flat stomach but now I have muffin top and love handles. I have been eating subway hoping it will help. In the past all I had to do to lose a chunk of weight was to change my diet. that hasn’t worked!!! I"m starting to freak out, am I aging??? is my metabolism slowing down??? I’m freaking out.

Starting tomorrow morning, i am heading to target and buying a maximum strength sports bra… some sweats and I’m going to eat nothing but romainne lettuce untill I am 130 lbs again. I can’t take it anymore, since I clearly gain weight no matter what i consume, i will consume nothing and exercise it all off.

any advice and tips are appreciated.

Badminton and tennis is a PERFECT cardio workout that could burn the fat away. You probably by the sound of your question don’t exercise daily. Count calories, exercise, and eat healthy. Look up some exercises to do in the morning and before bed. Squats, crunches, and even planks can help. Jillian Michaels has lots of videos online for a lot of exercises. Always keep progress! Keep track of weight loss and please don’t crash diet it is totally unhealthy. Eat healthy and you’ll be 130 pounds in no time! Good luck.

Your last line “i will consume nothing and exercise it all off.” is worrying.
The best way to lose weight is eat healthy but you have to eat! Do cardio exercises (running, swimming and cycling are some good examples). Drinking lots of water helps the body to burn fat therefore lose weight and make a workout plan and nutrition plan and stick to it, if you like i could help you make your plans? Just ask and i would be happy to help

neighborhood woman is threatening to shoot my cat, what should i do

I’ve had my cat for 4 years. she is a very sweet and loving animal and i rescued her from a pet shelter when she was several months old. we live in New Hampshire in a mostly rural area and my cat has being going outside to play and explore with other cats since she was 7 months old.
at 8 months old the lady across the street shot her in her paw with a bb gun when she was stuck in a tree in her yard because the meowing annoyed her and her grandson shot her with a nerf gun and threw tennis balls at her.
she had a fracture on her arm and her paw was crushed from the bb’s and some bleeding on her head from the basketball. i was mortified, a local landscaper volunteered to get her out of the tree with a cherry picker because she was severely injured and couldn’t climb down.
i kept my cat inside for months but she is an outdoor cat, she comes in to eat and sleep and then explores during the day and even goes to the bathroom outside. the cat loves being outdoors and for the most part she doesn’t go near that lades front yard and if she does i can’t imagine she does anything but walk across the grass. theres no garden and some dead grass. there are a ton of neighborhood cats in addition to mine.
today i was standing in the driveway talking to my father who was pulling out to drive to the store. the lady waited until he was out of sight and called out to me and said "do you know where your cat was this morning?" "She was in my fucking yard walking around and she bothers my dog while he’s sleeping because it wakes him up" she then proceeded to call me a c u next tuesday. so i walked away and said "I’m not listening to this" she then said "your cat doesn’t get the picture, i kicked her in the face and knocked two of her teeth out and left some food with rat poison out for her and next I’m gone blow her brains out with a shotgun" "i bet you’ll listen if she’s dead won’t you"
i began crying and called 911.
3 months ago my cat came home missing her two canine teeth and one other little tooth, her lip was split and bleeding and i figured it was from a fight with an animal. she’s lost a tremendous amount of weight in the past 3 months and her hair has fallen out in addition to her gums bleeding. my step mother said it was "mange" a fungal infection that she must have gotten during the summer.
but it was this lady. she’s an old miserable hag and a sick twisted lady who’s in her 60s and her 40 year old daughter stood right by her side calling me a c u next tuesday, a bitch etc.
the police said if she actually shoots my cat she’ll be arrested and she even told the cop she’d shoot her….but they can’t do anything because its not a domestic threat against another person, its against an animal!!
i could try and keep her inside as much as possible but we have a barn connected to our house and she always finds a way to sneak in and sneak out of the house when we put her on lock down. i sent her off to live with my brother in the city and it breaks my heart.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

• That’s animal abuse. I wish I could do the same to your vile neighbor. She sounds like a wacko who could end up hurting humans too. Move.

  Keep your cat inside. It’s being horribly abused!

  Oh right, don’t say anything about the insane neighbor, guy below me. Sheesh.

• A responsible cat owner would keep the cat in doors.
• a lot depends on the laws of your particular community – but when I was growing up my cat went to the neighbors yard and they called the cops on us and my dad had to go to court – he even asked the officer if he had any cat handcuffs .. but anyway as far as I understand the law that you are responsible for keeping the animal on your own property – and once your animal goes off your property then YOU are breaking the law. Now you need to find out what the law is – as the laws can change per community but in every community that I’ve been in – it has been like this – that you are responsible for containing your own animal on your own property

  laws aren’t always very compassionate are they?

• Call the police and have it put “on record” that she is THREATENING to kill your cat. That way it will be on record if she TRIES anything else. Tell the police kind of what she told you…about the rat poison. There is definately something wrong with her, but you know that. She is a coo coo bird.
  She abused your cat… Report her to the “animal care specialists” in your area. I can’t remember
  the real name…Maybe report her to the “animal shelter; the pound.”

  She is a real piece of work….sick twisted woman like you said.
  Just keep your distance…Obviously she is trouble.
  ABUSIVE woman. WOW!!!

• If I were in your shoes I would first find out how good her aim is.

  Short of moving there is not much you can do if the cat manages to escape. Hopefully the cat has learned who to avoid.

  But you can bring a charge of harassment for the verbal abuse. That would be enough to get you a restraining order to keep her away. If she violates that she goes to jail.
  Short of moving I see no legal way beyond the restraining order.

  Sorry Maybe someone else will have a better idea

• 1. Thats animal abuse (Against the law)
  2. It’s disturbing the peace (Against the law)
  3. She’s threatening you (Against the law)

  hmmm, i dont know MAYBE CALL THE POLICE?

• Shoot your neighbor with a gun.

neighborhood woman is threatening to shoot my cat and has abused her before, what should i do

I’ve had my cat for 4 years. she is a very sweet and loving animal and i rescued her from a pet shelter when she was several months old. we live in New Hampshire in a mostly rural area and my cat has being going outside to play and explore with other cats since she was 7 months old.
at 8 months old the lady across the street shot her in her paw with a bb gun when she was stuck in a tree in her yard because the meowing annoyed her and her grandson shot her with a nerf gun and threw tennis balls at her.
she had a fracture on her arm and her paw was crushed from the bb’s and some bleeding on her head from the basketball. i was mortified, a local landscaper volunteered to get her out of the tree with a cherry picker because she was severely injured and couldn’t climb down.
i kept my cat inside for months but she is an outdoor cat, she comes in to eat and sleep and then explores during the day and even goes to the bathroom outside. the cat loves being outdoors and for the most part she doesn’t go near that lades front yard and if she does i can’t imagine she does anything but walk across the grass. theres no garden and some dead grass. there are a ton of neighborhood cats in addition to mine.
today i was standing in the driveway talking to my father who was pulling out to drive to the store. the lady waited until he was out of sight and called out to me and said "do you know where your cat was this morning?" "She was in my ******* yard walking around and she bothers my dog while he’s sleeping because it wakes him up" she then proceeded to call me a c u next tuesday. so i walked away and said "I’m not listening to this" she then said "your cat doesn’t get the picture, i kicked her in the face and knocked two of her teeth out and left some food with rat poison out for her and next I’m gone blow her brains out with a shotgun" "i bet you’ll listen if she’s dead won’t you"
i began crying and called 911.
3 months ago my cat came home missing her two canine teeth and one other little tooth, her lip was split and bleeding and i figured it was from a fight with an animal. she’s lost a tremendous amount of weight in the past 3 months and her hair has fallen out in addition to her gums bleeding. my step mother said it was "mange" a fungal infection that she must have gotten during the summer.
but it was this lady. she’s an old miserable hag and a sick twisted lady who’s in her 60s and her 40 year old daughter stood right by her side calling me a c u next tuesday, a ***** etc.
the police said if she actually shoots my cat she’ll be arrested and she even told the cop she’d shoot her….but they can’t do anything because its not a domestic threat against another person, its against an animal!!
i could try and keep her inside as much as possible but we have a barn connected to our house and she always finds a way to sneak in and sneak out of the house when we put her on lock down. i sent her off to live with my brother in the city and it breaks my heart.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I would definetly get Law enforcement involved. Believe that might be felony animal cruelty. Either way, just keep your cat away from her.

If I were you I would keep the cat inside at all times. Also try to get RSPCA to come and try to stop her from hurting animals.

i would definately get the police invovled but if you were smart, u would have kept ur damn cat inside after she threatened you the first time.

Wow, that lady is absolutely terrible. I’m not sure because the first thing I would do is call the police, but you’ve already done that. So I’d try to limit the amount of time your cat spends outside, or perhaps buy one of the pet play pen thingys for your backyard and let it roam around in there. Also I’d try to maybe call an animal shelter or something like that and talk to them about it. I used to watch a show on animal planet called Animal Cops who arrested people who abused there animals. This woman is definitely performing animal cruelty to your poor kitty so I’d try to find out if they have people like that in your area. Good Luck:/

Call the cops.

The best advice which I can give to you is to keep your cat inside and to show the cops physical evidence of this matter taking place so that the perpetrator can be brought to justice.

Good Luck To You!

Well, sending the kitty off is a good thing. Have the vet check for poison. That causes hair and weight loss. Document anything you can. regarding your neighbors actions and threats. Contact the nearest SPCA. Present this and see if between them, you, the DA and the Sheriff? If, something can be done? On the basis of Animal Cruelty. You and your cat should not suffer due to one nasty bitterly cruel person.

I’m so very sorry you and your kitty had to endure all this.

get the police involved, definetly. this is animal abuse and needs to stop

She’s a hag with no soul! I’m allergic to cats but hey I love them!

The state law of animal cruelty is if the owner abandons them or beats them but if it’s a neighbor I recommend you go to court, and if you have any pictures or videos of her hurting your cat and show them to the police I think she could go to jail.

If you’ve taken your cat to the vet ask them for any records of her

Good luck.

All my prayers go for you

Well this what i would do.
blow up at her. but that probably wouldn’t help.
you could move, but that seems extreme.
You could ask the police if there is anyone to contact to report animal abuse.

Call animal control and the police. And get it on video! I can’t stand people who abuse the weak or helpless!

I have social anxiety please help!!!

Hi all this is very frustrating for me coz i never leave the house.. i’m soooo afraid of people.. I always think that theyre readin my mind and know that i’m afraid of them.. from the moment i see them i just want to escape them and be behind a tree or something covering me so they don’t look at me.. when it comes to communicating with people, for example calling some one on the phone to speak with them, i just cant do it.. my structure is horrible and it sounds lame so i get my dad to do it for me and im 19.. my dad always talks to people for me weather its at the shops or anything at all like ordering a pizza on the phone, ): i used to go to the gym and play tennis but i cant be seeing someone for more then 5 months then i start to panic every time im going to see them coz thoughts run thru my mind telling me that they think ur awkward or even when they look at me i get so embarrassed and think they r uncomfortable around me O.o.. when i used to go to the gym i couldnt go at staff time coz when i walk in the man just stares at me.. i bet he thinks im wieeeerd. i want to get by on my own coz im depressed ): i know this is social anxiety disorder but mine is serious can u plz help me out, thankyou.

you could maybe get a therapist to come to your house to talk to you. yahoo answers can’t really help you, you need medication.

Hi
I have social anxiety too i know its really hard i keep on thinking people are staring at me and like you i keep on thinking that they think im weird im thinking about going to the doctors about mine because its really effecting me as a person as im probably at the moment not going to get a job because i would probably never get through the interview.
I would suggest just to go the doctor and see what they can do, they cant make you do anything you don’t want to do so its good to just see if they can help at all
Good luck

I have the same thing and i’m 15 years old. I have just booked a doctors appointment for wednesday as i’m not diagnosed but i have a strong feeling i have social anxiety disorder. Just book an appointment and tell the doctor you think you have S.A.D, and you will have some tests. Once you’re diagnosed depending on your seriousness you can get help from therapists etc. So get someone to call the doctors, and if you’re scared take your Dad or a close friend to the doctors with you. Anxiety can be a cruel thing, i know what you’re going through. Hope you get sorted, best of Luck. Sinéad xxxxxx

HI, Iam sorry you’re going through some problems at the moment, I’d like to help but as Iam not a doctor I won’t offer medical advice. I will however offer you advice as a friend if that’s ok. Right i guess your feeling uptight, frustration, and just generally fed up with life in general. I know you will getmad now but i think you need to see a counsellor. Iv been to one last year and it really helps. There is no shame in admitting you need help ,indeed its a very brave thing to do. Ok is there not a college near you , if so why not see if there are any courses you may be interested in. By attending college you will meet new people,make friends, learn life skills and build up your confidence. I went to college this year best thing iv ever done. Try it. Also are there any support groups you could join , there you will get unbiased and unjudged honest help, also you will be with people who have the same problem as you so you will get some ideas,thoughts and tips, not to mention meeting new people. If I could help you more then I would,all I can do is give you my email ( address below) and if you need advice, a chat,someone tp listen to you,or you want to shout and ball at someone to rid your frustration then email me and shout and ball at me if it helps. Sadly I can’t sort your problems out for you but hopefully I can be a friend if you want. Take care .all the best
