Actually, a catalyst only speeds up a reaction but doesn’t actually change the reaction itself. As for the brief encounter that one guy had at a beer line one time? Feigning interest is a far cry from actual interest which is a far cry from an actual date which is a far cry from getting into a relationship which is a far cry from getting serious in that relationship. Many non-white people raised in America would like to date white people but for relationships, they do still heavily resist going outside of their race. Family, commonality, and cultural identity comes into play for better or worse. ---

The best thing about that story is that Kim Kardashian owns a chain called “Millions of Milkshakes.” Milkshakes. Millions. Kardashian’s milkshakes. This truly is the best of all worlds. ---

Zoroastrian female here, with full “persian” ethnicity and all that. After a post like that, I wouldn’t let you near the donkey in the petting zoo, much less near my arse. IMO, the lady in question has had a lucky escape. – **St** -“Creeps are not welcome”- **Joan**. ETA: Damn! I just realized that I’ve replied to a 5-yr old OP. :smack:. I’ll just quietly tiptoe out of the thread now. ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > Why not? People refer to men as boys all the time; “I’m going out with the boys for a drink”, “I just saw the cutest boy on the beach”, “boys and their toys”. Whether addressing an adult as “girl” or “boy” is insulting or affectionate or just a cute turn of phrase depends on context. I’m almost 30 and people refer me to as a boy ALL THE TIME(strangers), so yes people do. ---
