Bastards

"Men are liars. They are bastards." A guy friend of mine told me this.

I still remember when I first time met him, he told people his stories about he and his girlfriends. I said to him "You're a bastard", after he finished. He didn't get angry. Instead, he corrected my English pronunciation of "bastard", and added "Men are liars. They are bastards."

About Chick magnet

When my first time heard of "chick magnet", it was when a housemate of mine described her brother. Today I just read an article on "How to Become a Guy Magnet." No, no, no, I don't dream or think of being a guy magnet. Yes, yes, yes, I'm looking for advise on relationships and dating. Sure, sure, sure, I'm seeking suggestions how to find out whether a guy is interested.

Why things can't be straightforward. I have asked two of my girl friends' opinions. Yet, both suggested me to hold back and wait for the guy to act. At the same time, I should be within "reachable distance". Is it that bad to say something straightforward? Or men like to have teases and want to have control?

I can't become a Christian

I don't know if I'm an agnostic or an atheist.

A couple weeks ago, I was approached by two Mormon missionaries. They wanted to teach me about "God". They wanted me to believe "God". As a good research student, I wanted to have evidence. However, they felled to provide any. All the time, they said "There is God", "He is like a Father", "He will be always there"...... It was very disappointing.

One of the missionaries also told me that when he needs comfort, or help, he would ask "God", just like asking comfort or help from "father". It seemed like "God" is for comforting. Why not looking for comforting from family and friends? Are they not good enough? A Chinese writer Yutang Lin once said Christianity won't be widely accepted in China because Chinese believe that people are capable to communicate and a third partner is not needed.
